John 18
1 When Iesus had spoken these wordes he wet forth with his disciples over the broke Cedron where was a garden into the which he entred with his disciples.
Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, alikwenda ng'ambo ya kijito Kedroni, pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Mahali hapo palikuwa na bustani, naye Yesu akaingia humo pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
2 Iudas also which betrayed him knewe the place: for Iesus ofte tymes resorted thyther with his disciples.
Yuda, aliyemsaliti Yesu, alipajua mahali hapo kwani mara nyingi Yesu alikutana na wanafunzi wake huko.
3 Iudas then after he had receaved abonde of men and ministres of the hye Prestes and Pharises came thyther with lanterns and fyerbrondes and wepens.
Basi, Yuda alichukua kikosi cha askari na walinzi kutoka kwa makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo, akaja nao bustanini wakiwa na taa, mienge na silaha.
4 Then Iesus knowynge all thinges that shuld come on him went forth and sayde vnto them: whom seke ye?
Yesu, hali akijua yote yatakayompata, akatokea, akawauliza, “Mnamtafuta nani?”
5 They answered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them: I am he. Iudas also which betrayed him stode with them.
Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti!” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye.” Msaliti Yuda alikuwa amesimama hapo pamoja nao.
6 But assone as he had sayd vnto them I am he they went backe wardes and fell to the grounde.
Basi, Yesu alipowaambia: “Mimi ndiye”, wakarudi nyuma, wakaanguka chini.
7 And he axed the agayne: whome seke ye? They sayde: Iesus of Nazareth.
Yesu akawauliza tena, “Mnamtafuta nani?” Wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti!”
8 Iesus answered I sayde vnto you I am he. If ye seke me let these goo their waye.
Yesu akawaambia, “Nimekwisha waambieni kwamba mimi ndiye. Basi, kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa waende zao.”
9 That ye sayinge might be fulfilled which he spake: of the which thou gavest me have I not lost one.
(Alisema hayo ili yapate kutimia yale aliyosema: “Wale ulionipa sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”)
10 Simon Peter had a swearde and drue it and smote the hye prestes servaunt and cut of his ryght eare. The servauntes name was Malchas.
Simoni Petro alikuwa na upanga; basi, akauchomoa, akamkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu. Mtumishi huyo aliitwa Malko.
11 Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter: put vp thy swearde into ye sheath: shall I not drinke of ye cup which my father hath geven me?
Basi, Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako alani. Je, nisinywe kikombe alichonipa Baba?”
12 Then the copany and the captayne and the ministres of of the Iewes toke Iesus and bounde him
Kile kikosi cha askari, mkuu wake na walinzi wa Wayahudi walimkamata Yesu, wakamfunga
13 and led him awaye to Anna fyrst: For he was fatherelawe vnto Cayphas which was ye hye preste that same yeare.
na kumpeleka kwanza kwa Anasi; Anasi alikuwa baba mkwe wa Kayafa ambaye alikuwa Kuhani Mkuu mwaka huo.
14 Cayphas was he that gave counsell to ye Iewes that it was expediet that one man shuld dye for the people.
Huyo Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewashauri Wayahudi kwamba ni afadhali mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya taifa.
15 And Simon Peter folowed Iesus and another disciple: that disciple was knowen of ye hye preste and went in with Iesus into the pallys of the hye preste.
Simoni Petro pamoja na mwanafunzi mwingine walimfuata Yesu. Huyo mwanafunzi mwingine alikuwa anajulikana kwa Kuhani Mkuu, hivyo aliingia pamoja na Yesu ndani ya ukumbi wa Kuhani Mkuu.
16 But Peter stode at the dore with out. Then went out that other disciple which was knowen vnto the hye preste and spake to the damsell that kept the dore and brought in Peter.
Lakini Petro alikuwa amesimama nje, karibu na mlango. Basi, huyo mwanafunzi mwingine aliyekuwa anajulikana kwa Kuhani Mkuu alitoka nje akasema na mjakazi, mngoja mlango, akamwingiza Petro ndani.
17 Then sayde ye damsell that kept the dore vnto Peter: Arte not thou one of this mannes disciples? He sayde: I am not.
Huyo msichana mngoja mlango akamwuliza Petro, “Je, nawe pia ni mmoja wa wanafunzi wa mtu huyu?” Petro akamwambia, “Si mimi!”
18 The servauntes and the ministres stode there and had made a fyre of coles: for it was colde: and they warmed them selves. Peter also stode amonge them and warmed him selfe.
Watumishi na walinzi walikuwa wamewasha moto kwa sababu kulikuwa na baridi, wakawa wanaota moto. Naye Petro alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao akiota moto.
19 The hye preste axed Iesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.
Basi, Kuhani akamwuliza Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.
20 Iesus answered him: I spake openly in ye worlde. I ever taught in ye synagoge and in the temple whyther all ye Iewes resorted and in secrete have I sayde nothynge:
Yesu akamjibu, “Nimesema na kila mtu daima hadharani. Kila mara nimefundisha katika masunagogi na Hekaluni, mahali wakutanikiapo Wayahudi wote; na wala sijasema chochote kwa siri.
21 Why axest thou me? Axe them whiche hearde me what I sayde vnto the. Beholde they can tell what I sayde.
Kwa nini waniuliza mimi? Waulize wale waliosikia nini niliwaambia. Wao wanajua nilivyosema.”
22 Whe he had thus spoken one of ye ministres which stode by smote Iesus on the face sayinge: answerest thou the hyepreste so?
Alipokwisha sema hayo mlinzi mmoja aliyekuwa amesimama hapo akampiga kofi akisema, “Je, ndivyo unavyomjibu Kuhani Mkuu?”
23 Iesus answered him. If I have evyll spoke beare witnes of ye evyll: yf I have well spoke why smytest thou me?
Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nimesema vibaya, onyesha huo ubaya; lakini ikiwa nimesema vema, mbona wanipiga?”
24 And Annas sent him bounde vnto Caiphas ye hye preste.
Basi, Anasi akampeleka Yesu akiwa amefungwa, kwa Kuhani Mkuu Kayafa.
25 Simon Peter stode and warmed him selfe. And they sayde vnto him: arte not thou also one of his disciples? He denyed it and sayde: I am not.
Petro alikuwa hapo akiota moto. Basi, wakamwuliza, “Je, nawe pia si mmoja wa wanafunzi wake?” Yeye akakana na kusema, “Si mimi!”
26 One of the servauntes of the hye preste (his cosyn whose eare Peter smote of) sayde vnto him: dyd not I se the in the garden with him?
Mmoja wa watumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, jamaa wa yule aliyekatwa sikio na Petro, akamwuliza, “Je, mimi sikukuona wewe bustanini pamoja naye?”
27 Peter denyed it agayne: and immediatly the cocke crewe.
Petro akakana tena; mara jogoo akawika.
28 Then led they Iesus fro Cayphas into the hall of iudgement. It was in the mornynge and they them selves went not into the iudgement hall lest they shuld be defyled but that they myght eate the paschall lambe.
Basi, walimchukua Yesu kutoka kwa Kayafa, wakampeleka ikulu. Ilikuwa alfajiri, nao ili waweze kula Pasaka, hawakuingia ndani ya ikulu wasije wakatiwa najisi.
29 Pylate then went out vnto the and sayde: what accusacion bringe ye agaynste this man?
Kwa hiyo, Pilato aliwaendea nje, akasema, “Mna mashtaka gani juu ya mtu huyu?”
30 They answered and sayd vnto him. If he were not an evyll doar we wolde not have delyvered him vnto the.
Wakamjibu, “Kama huyu hangalikuwa mwovu hatungalimleta kwako.”
31 Then sayd Pylate vnto the: take ye him and iudge him after youre awne lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him. It is not lawfull for vs to put eny ma to deeth.
Pilato akawaambia, “Haya, mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kufuatana na Sheria yenu.” Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi hatuna mamlaka ya kumwua mtu yeyote.”
32 That ye wordes of Iesus myght be fulfilled which he spake signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye.
(Ilifanyika hivyo yapate kutimia maneno aliyosema Yesu kuonyesha atakufa kifo gani.)
33 Then Pylate entred into the iudgemet hall agayne and called Iesus and sayd vnto him: arte thou the kynge of ye Iewes?
Pilato akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwita Yesu na kumwuliza: “Ati wewe ndiye Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
34 Iesus answered: sayst thou that of thy selfe or dyd other tell it the of me?
Yesu akamjibu, “Je, hayo ni maneno yako au wengine wamekwambia habari zangu?”
35 Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes have delyvered ye vnto me. What hast thou done?
Pilato akamjibu, “Je, ni Myahudi mimi? Taifa lako na makuhani wamekuleta kwangu. Umefanya nini?”
36 Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde then wolde my ministres suerly fight yt I shuld not be delyvered to ye Iewes but now is my kyngdome not fro hence.
Yesu akamjibu, “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu. Kama ufalme wangu ungekuwa wa ulimwengu huu watumishi wangu wangenipigania nisitiwe mikononi mwa Wayahudi. Lakini sasa ufalme wangu si wa hapa.”
37 Pylate sayde vnto him: Arte thou a kynge then? Iesus answered: Thou sayst yt I am a kynge. For this cause was I borne and for this cause came I into ye worlde yt I shuld beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of ye trueth heare my voyce.
Hapo Pilato akamwambia, “Basi, wewe ni Mfalme?” Yesu akajibu, “Wewe umesema kwamba mimi ni Mfalme. Mimi nimezaliwa kwa ajili hiyo; na kwa ajili hiyo nimekuja ulimwenguni kuwaambia watu juu ya ukweli. Kila mtu wa ukweli hunisikiliza.”
38 Pilate sayde vnto him: what thinge is trueth? And when he had sayd yt he went out agayne vnto the Iewes and sayde vnto them: I fynde in him no cause at all.
Pilato akamwambia, “Ukweli ni kitu gani?” Pilato alipokwisha sema hayo, aliwaendea tena Wayahudi nje, akawaambia, “Mimi sioni hatia yoyote kwake.
39 Ye have a custome that I shuld delyver you one lowsse at ester. Will ye that I lowse vnto you the kynge of ye Iewes.
Lakini, mnayo desturi kwamba mimi niwafungulie mfungwa mmoja wakati wa Pasaka. Basi, mwataka niwafungulieni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
40 Then cryed they all agayne sayinge: Not him but Barrabas that Barrabas was a robber.
Hapo wakapiga kelele: “La! Si huyu ila Baraba!” Naye Baraba alikuwa mnyang'anyi.
