< John 18 >

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
O Yesu nayanga enongwa ezi, asogoye na bhanafunzi bhakwe ahwenyezye entebha ye Kidron, hwa hwali ne bustani, huula omwene na bhanafunzi bhakwe bhahinjila muhati yakwe.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Esheshi ola oYuda, wahanzaga ahugalushe, wope aimenye eshemu eyo, afuatanaje oYesu abhalaga husehemu ela mara hahinji abhalaga na bhanafunzi bhakwe.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Wope oYuda, nawapata ikundi lya sikari na maofisa afume hwa gosi adimi bhahenza ne tala, ikurunzi ne silaha.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Wope oYesu, ohu amenye shila hantu hahali habhombeha zaidi yakwe ahwifumizye hwitazi na abhabhozya, “Wenu wamuhumwanza?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Wope wajile, oYesu Mnazareti.” O Yesu abhabhozya, “Ane nene” Wope oYuda wagalushe oYesu ahali ayemeleye na asikari bhala.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Eshi eshi embabhozya, “Ane nene” bhawela shingunga bhagwa pansi.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Wabhabhozya nantele, “Wenu wa muhumwanza? Bhope waga nantele “oYesu Munazareti.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
O Yesu wabhobhozya, “Embabhozezye aje ana nene; eshi nkashe munaanza ane, bhaleshi ebha abhnje bhabhalaje.”
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Ega gali esho aje lila izu likamilishe; pala nayangaga; hwa bhala bhohampiye, senatezizye hata weka.”
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
O Simoni Petro, waali ni panga, wega nahudumule ikutu lya hundeelo oboyi wa Dimi ogosi. Ni tawa lyakwe oboyi ola ali yo Malko.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
O Yesu abhozya oPetro, “Wezya ipanga lyaho hu ala yakwe. Yenu ensamwelee eshikombe shila shampiye oDaada?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
Eshi lila ikundi lya skari na jemedari, na boyi bha Yahudi, bhakhata oYesu na hupinye.
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Wope walongola nasoti pa hwa Anasi, amwane ali khoi wa Kayaafa, ola wali wa Dimi ogosi omwaha ogwo.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
O Kayafa wabhapiye oushauri Ayahudi yahanziwaga aje omuntu omo afwe husababu ya bhantu.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
O Simoni oPetro alondoleye oYesu, na shesho omwanafunzi wamwabho. Nola omwanafunzi ali afamahamiha hwa dimi ogosi, wope ahinjila pandwemo no Yesu mwibehewa ilya Chungaji ogosi;
16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
o Petro ali ayemeleye honze hu ndiango. Ola omwanafunzi wa manyishe hwa dimi ogosi, afumile honze abhala ayanje nola oshe oboyi waalindaga ondiango na humwinjizye oPetro.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
Ola oboyi walindaga ondiango, abhozezye oPetro, “Aje awe solo pandwemo na bhantu bha muntu ono?” Wope ajile, “Ane wenje.”
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
Na bhala aboyi bha gosi bhahemeleye apantu pala; bhapembile omwoto afuatanaje hwali isasa, na shesho bhali bhahwota omwoto aje apate ilyoto. Wope oPetro ali nabho, ahwote omwoto ali ayemeleye.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Odimi ogosi abhozezye oYesu ahusu abhanafunzi bhakwe ne nsambelezyo zyakwe.
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
O Yesu ajile, “Enjebho zyezye pazelu ensi; Ane na sambelezezye wilawila mshibhanza na pantu pala Ayahudi pabhabhonganaga. Nane senayanjile lyalyonti.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
Yenu mwabhozezyaga? Bhabhozyaji ahusu hala hanayanjile. Ebha abhantu bhamenye amambo gananjile.
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
O Yesu nahayanga ezyo, omo wa gosi ali ayemeleye wa khoma oYesu hu khono ogwakwe na pamande waga, “Esho, shashi hwanziwa ahugamule odimi ogosi?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Wope oYesu ajile, “Nkashe enjanjile enongwa zyazyonti embibhi obhe keti hwego amabhibhi, na nkashe egomoye shinza yenu ekhomwa?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
O Anasi atwala oYesu hwa Kayafa hwa chungaji ogosi ali afungulwe.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
O Simoni oPetro ali ayemeleye wahwikosya ilyoto yoyo. Bhala abhantu bhabhozya. “Aje, awe nawe soli pandwemo na bhanafunzi bhakwe?” Wakhana waga, “Ane weenje.”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
Omo omo waboyi bhachungaji ogosi, waali holo wa lume waadulwe ikutu, ajile, “Se wewe elolile hula hu bustani?”
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
O Petro akhana nantele, na Ehanda ahekuga.
28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Bhahamwega oYesu afume hwa Kayafa paka hu Praitorio. Hwali shapwiti na mazansha. Abhene bhebho sebhahinjiye ePraitorio bhasiye ahwiyonvwe ailye epasaka.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
O Pilato abhabhalilia ahayanga. “Ahaga listako bhole lyalihuhusu omuntu ono?”
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Bhayanga na hubhozye, “Nkashe ono muntu agalisebhomba mbibhi, handa setiletile huliwe.”
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
O Pilato abhabhozya, “Mweji amwe mwemwe, mulonje alengane nendijizyo zyenyu bhope.” Ayahudi bhabhozya, “Endajizyo sezitibhozya abude omuntu wawonti.”
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Bhayanjile ezi aje izu lya Yesu likamilishe izu lya ayanjile ahusu enfwa yakwe.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
O Pilato ahinjila nantele hu Praitorio akwizya oYesu; ahabhozya, “Aje, awe oli mwene wa Ayahudi?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
O Yesu ajile, “Aje, awe ombozya ni swali eli ohwanza amanye au afuatanaje bhatumile aje ombozye ane?”
35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
Wope oPilato ajile, “Ane sendi Yahudi, aje seshashesho?” Ikabela lyenyu no chungaji ogosi ebho bhabhaletile huline; awe obhombile yenu?
36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
O Yesu ajile; oumwene wane sewamu omu, nkashe oumwene wane ugaali wa munsi omu aboyi bhane handa bhahomaniye waganje anfume hwa Yahudi. Lyoli oumwene wane seufuma epa” Pansi
37 Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
O Pilato abhozya, “Aje awe eshi oli mwene?” O Yesu ajile, “awe shili shoyanga aje ane endi mwene, afuatana neshi napepwe alenganeshi ane enenzele munsi aje embe keti weela elyoli. Wawonti waali neyo elyoli elitejezya izu lyane.
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
O Pilato abhozya, “Elyoli yenu?” Wope nayanga ego ahabhala hwa Yahudi na bhabhozye “Selola nkahamo hwa muntu ono.
39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
Amwe mulinoutamaduni wamubhomba emwegulile ofungwa omo owakati we Pasaka. Aje muhwanza aje embigulile omwene wa Yahudi.”
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Bhahomile ekelele bhaile, sio ono, tigulile oBaraba.” Wope oBaraba alifyozi.
