< John 18 >

1 After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
हे बोलल्यानंतर येशू आपल्या शिष्यांबरोबर किद्रोन ओहळाच्या पलीकडे गेला. तेथे एक बाग होती; तेथे तो व त्याचे शिष्य गेले.
2 Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
ही जागा त्यास धरून देणाऱ्या यहूदालाही माहीत होती कारण येशू पुष्कळ वेळा आपल्या शिष्यांबरोबर तेथे जात असे.
3 So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
तेव्हा सैनिकांची तुकडी व मुख्य याजक लोक व परूशी यांच्याकडचे कामदार मिळाल्यावर, दिवे, मशाली व शस्त्रे घेऊन यहूदा तेथे आला.
4 Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
येशू आपणावर जे काही येणार हे सर्व जाणून बाहेर आला आणि त्यांना म्हणाला, “तुम्ही कोणाला शोधत आहात?”
5 They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
त्यांनी त्यास उत्तर दिले, “नासरेथकर येशूला.” तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “तो मी आहे.” आणि ज्या यहूदाने त्यास धरून दिले देखील त्यांच्याबरोबर उभा होता,
6 When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
“तो मीच आहे,” असे म्हणताच ते मागे सरकून जाऊन जमिनीवर पडले.
7 He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
मग त्याने त्यांना पुन्हा विचारले, “तुम्ही कोणाला शोधता?” आणि ते म्हणाले, “नासरेथकर येशूला.”
8 Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
येशूने उत्तर दिले, “मीच तो आहे; असे मी तुम्हास सांगितले, तुम्ही मला शोधीत असला तर यांना जाऊ द्या.”
9 [This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
“जे तू मला दिले आहेत त्यांतून मी एकही हरविला नाही,” असे जे वचन तो बोलला होता ते पूर्ण व्हावे म्हणून हे झाले.
10 Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
१०तेव्हा शिमोन पेत्राजवळ तलवार असल्याने त्याने ती उपसली व महायाजकाच्या दासावर चालविली आणि त्याचा उजवा कान कापून टाकला. त्या दासाचे नाव मल्ख होते.
11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
११तेव्हा येशू पेत्राला म्हणाला, “तरवार म्यानात घाल. पित्याने मला जो प्याला दिला आहे तो मी पिऊ नये काय?”
12 Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
१२मग सैनिकांची तुकडी व हजारांचा सरदार आणि यहूद्यांचे अधिकारी हे येशूला धरून बांधले.
13 Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
१३आणि त्यास प्रथम हन्नाकडे नेले कारण, त्या वर्षी महायाजक असलेल्या कयफाचा हा सासरा होता,
14 Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
१४एका मनुष्याने लोकांसाठी मरावे हे फायद्याचे आहे. अशी मसलत यहूद्यास याच कयफाने दिली होती.
15 Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
१५शिमोन पेत्र व दुसरा एक शिष्य येशूच्या मागे मागे चालले; तो शिष्य महायाजकाच्या ओळखीचा होता आणि येशूबरोबर महायाजकाच्या वाड्यात गेला.
16 But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
१६पण पेत्र बाहेर, दाराशी उभा राहिला होता, म्हणून जो दुसरा शिष्य महायाजकाच्या ओळखीचा होता त्याने बाहेर जाऊन व द्वारपालिकेला सांगून पेत्राला आत आणले.
17 The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
१७यावरुन ती तरूण द्वारपालिका होती ती पेत्राला म्हणाली, “तूही या मनुष्याच्या शिष्यांपैकी आहेस काय?” तो म्हणाला, “मी नाही.”
18 It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
१८थंडी असल्यामुळे दास व कामदार कोळशाचा विस्तव पेटवून शेकत उभे राहिले होते आणि पेत्र पण त्यांच्याबरोबर शेकत उभा होता.
19 [While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
१९तेव्हा महायाजकाने येशूला त्याच्या शिष्यांविषयी व त्याच्या शिक्षणाविषयी प्रश्न केले.
20 Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
२०येशूने त्यास उत्तर दिले, “मी जगासमोर उघडपणे बोललो आहे, सभास्थानात आणि परमेश्वराच्या भवनात, सर्व यहूदी जमतात, तेथे मी नेहमी शिक्षण दिले आणि गुप्तपणे मी काही बोललो नाही.
21 [So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
२१मला का विचारता? मी काय बोलतो ते. ज्यांनी ऐकले आहे त्यांना विचारा. पाहा, मी जे बोललो ते त्यांना माहीत आहे.”
22 After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
२२त्याने असे म्हटल्याबरोबर जवळ उभा राहणारा एक कामदार येशूला चापट मारून म्हणाला, “तू महायाजकाला असे उत्तर देतोस काय?”
23 Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
२३येशूने त्यास उत्तर दिले, “मी वाईट रीतीने बोललो असलो तर कसे वाईट बोललो ते सिद्ध कर; योग्य रीतीने बोललो असलो तर मला का मारतोस?”
24 Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
२४तेव्हा हन्नाने त्यास महायाजक कयफा याच्याकडे बांधलेलेच पाठवले.
25 As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
२५शिमोन पेत्र शेकत उभा राहिला होता; त्यास इतर म्हणाले, “तूही त्याच्या शिष्यांतला आहेस काय?” त्याने नाकारले व म्हटले, “मी नाही.”
26 [Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
२६पेत्राने ज्याचा कान कापला होता त्याचा नातलग असलेला, महायाजकाच्या दासांपैकी एक होता, तो त्यास म्हणाला, “मी तुला त्याच्याबरोबर बागेत नाही का पाहिले?”
27 Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
२७पेत्राने पुन्हा नाकारले आणि, लागलाच, कोंबडा आरवला.
28 Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
२८तेव्हा त्यांनी येशूला कयफाकडून सरकारवाड्यांत नेले; तेव्हा सकाळ होती आणि आपण अशुद्ध होऊ नये, पण वल्हांडणाचे भोजन करता यावे म्हणून ते स्वतः सरकारवाड्यांत गेले नाहीत.
29 So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
२९यास्तव पिलात त्यांच्याकडे बाहेर येऊन म्हणाला, “तुम्ही या मनुष्यावर काय आरोप ठेवता?”
30 [They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
३०त्यांनी त्यास उत्तर दिले, “तो दुष्कर्मी नसता तर आम्ही त्यास आपल्या हाती दिले नसते.”
31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
३१पिलाताने त्यांना म्हटले, “त्याला तुम्हीच आपल्या नियमशास्त्राप्रमाणे त्याचा न्याय करा.” यहूदी अधिकारी त्यास म्हणाले, “आम्हास कोणाचा जीव घेण्याचा अधिकार नाही.”
32 [The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
३२आपण कोणत्या मरणाने मरणार हे सुचवितांना येशूने जे वचन सांगितले होते ते पूर्ण व्हावे म्हणून असे झाले.
33 Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
३३म्हणून पिलात पुन्हा सरकारवाड्यांत गेला; आणि त्याने येशूला बोलावून म्हणाला, “तू यहूद्यांचा राजा आहेस काय?”
34 Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
३४येशूने उत्तर दिले, “आपण स्वतः हे म्हणता किंवा दुसर्‍यांनी आपणाला माझ्याविषयी हे सांगितले?”
35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
३५पिलाताने उत्तर दिले, “मी यहूदी आहे काय? तुझ्याच लोकांनी आणि मुख्य याजकांनी तुला माझ्या हाती दिले; तू काय केले.”
36 Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
३६येशूने उत्तर दिले, “माझे राज्य या जगाचे नाही. माझे राज्य या जगाचे असते तर यहूद्यांच्या हाती मी दिला जाऊ नये म्हणून माझ्या सेवकांनी लढाई केली असती; पण माझे राज्य येथले नाही.”
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
३७म्हणून पिलात त्यास म्हणाला, “तर तू राजा आहेस काय?” येशूने उत्तर दिले, “मी राजा आहे असे आपण म्हणता. मी यासाठी जन्मलो आहे आणि यासाठी मी जगात आलो आहे. मी सत्याची साक्ष द्यावी. जो कोणी सत्याचा आहे तो माझी वाणी ऐकतो.”
38 Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
३८पिलात त्यास म्हणाला, “सत्य काय आहे?” आणि हे बोलून तो पुन्हा यहूद्यांकडे बाहेर गेला आणि त्यांना म्हणाला, “मला त्याच्यात काही अपराध दिसत नाही.
39 But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
३९पण तुमच्यासाठी वल्हांडण सणांत मी एकाला सोडावे अशी तुमच्यात रीत आहे; तर तुमच्यासाठी मी यहूद्यांच्या राजाला सोडावे अशी तुमची इच्छा आहे काय?”
40 They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
४०तेव्हा पुन्हा ते ओरडून म्हणाले, “ह्याला सोडू नका, तर बरब्बाला सोडा” आता बरब्बा हा एक लुटारू होता.
