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.
Akati apedza kunyengetera, Jesu akabva navadzidzi vake akayambuka Mupata weKidhironi. Parutivi penzvimbo iyi paiva nebindu remiorivhi, uye iye navadzidzi vake vakapindamo.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Zvino Judhasi uyo akamupandukira, aiziva nzvimbo yacho, nokuti Jesu aichimbosanganamo navadzidzi vake.
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.
Saka Judhasi akasvika kubindu, achitungamirira boka ravarwi navamwe vatariri vaibva kuvaprista vakuru nokuvaFarisi. Vakanga vane mwenje namarambi uye nezvombo.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesu, achiziva zvose zvakanga zvichizoitika kwaari, akabuda akaenda kwavari akati, “Munotsvaka ani?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Vakapindura vakati, “Jesu weNazareta.” Jesu akati, “Ndini iye.” (Uye Judhasi mupanduki uya akanga amire navo ipapo.)
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Jesu paakati, “Ndini iye,” vakasudurukira shure vakawira pasi.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Akapamhazve kuvabvunza achiti, “Ndianiko wamunoda?” Uye ivo vakati, “Jesu weNazareta.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndakuudzai kuti ndini iye. Kana muchitsvaka ini, zvino chiregai varume ava vaende.”
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Izvi zvakaitika kuti mashoko aakanga ataura azadziswe, okuti: “Handina kurasikirwa nomumwe weava vamakandipa.”
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.
Ipapo Simoni, uyo akanga ano munondo, akauvhomora akacheka muranda womuprista mukuru, akagura nzeve yake yokurudyi. (Zita romuranda uyo rainzi Marikusi.)
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?”
Jesu akarayira Petro achiti, “Isa munondo wako mumuhara! Ko, ndicharega kunwa mukombe wandapiwa naBaba here?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
Ipapo boka ravarwi navatariri vavaJudha vakabata Jesu vakamusunga.
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Uye vakatanga kuenda naye kuna Anasi, uyo akanga ari tezvara waKayafasi, iye aiva muprista mukuru gore iroro.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Kayafasi uyu ndiye uya akapa vaJudha zano rokuti zvainge zvakanaka kuti munhu mumwe chete afire vanhu.
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;
Simoni Petro nomumwe mudzidzi vainge vachitevera Jesu. Nemhaka yokuti mudzidzi uyu aizivikanwa nomuprista mukuru uyu, akapinda naJesu mudare redzimhosva romuprista mukuru,
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.
asi Petro akasara kunze ari pamukova. Mumwe mudzidzi, aizivikanwa nomuprista mukuru, akadzoka akandotaura nomusikana aichengeta pamusuo ndokupinza Petro mukati.
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.”
Musikana akanga ari pamukova akabvunza Petro akati, “Iwe hausi mumwe wavadzidzi vake here?” Iye akapindura akati, “Handisi.”
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.
Kwaitonhora, saka varanda nevatariri vakamira vakadziya moto wavakanga vavesa kuti vadziyirwe. Petro akanga amirewo navo, achidziyawo moto.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Panguva iyoyo, muprista mukuru akabvunza Jesu pamusoro pavadzidzi vake uye nezvedzidziso yake.
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.
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Ndakataura pachena kunyika. Ndaigara ndichidzidzisa mumasinagoge kana patemberi, apo paiungana vaJudha vose pamwe chete. Handina kutaura chinhu muchivande.
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.”
Munondibvunzireiko? Bvunzai avo vakandinzwa. Zvirokwazvo vanoziva zvandakareva.”
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?”
Jesu akati ataura izvi, mumwe wavatariri vakanga vari pedyo naye akamurova kumeso. Akati, “Ndiyo nzira yaunopindura nayo muprista mukuru here?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Kana ndataura chimwe chinhu chakaipa, taura kuti chakaipa ndechipi. Asi kana ndataura chokwadi, seiko wandirova?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Ipapo Anasi akamuendesa, akasungwa kuna Kayafasi muprista mukuru.
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.”
Simoni Petro achakamira achidziya moto, akabvunzwazve kuti, “Iwe hausi mumwe wavadzidzi vake here?” Akazviramba izvozvo, achiti, “Handizi.”
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?”
Mumwe wavaranda vomuprista mukuru, hama youya akanga agurwa nzeve yake naPetro, akamupikisa akati “Ko, handina kukuona unaye mubindu here?”
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Petro akazvirambazve izvozvo, uye panguva iyoyo jongwe rakatanga kurira.
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.
Ipapo vaJudha vakatungamirira Jesu kubva kuna Kayafasi vakaenda naye kumuzinda womubati weRoma. Zvino akanga achiri mangwanani, uye kuti varege kusvibiswa, vaJudha vakarega kupinda mumuzinda; vaida kuti vakwanise kuzodya Pasika.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Saka Pirato akabuda kwavari akavabvunza achiti, “Mhosva yomurume uyu ndeyeiko?”
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Vakapindura vachiti, “Dai anga asiri mutadzi, tingadai tisina kuuya naye kwamuri.”
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,”
Pirato akati, “Mutorei imi mumutonge nomurayiro wenyu.” VaJudha vakaramba vachiti, “Asika, isu hatina mvumo yokuuraya munhu.”
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Izvi zvakaitika kuitira kuti mashoko akanga ataurwa naJesu achiratidza mafiro aaizoita azadziswe.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Ipapo Pirato akadzokerazve mumuzinda, akadana Jesu akamubvunza achiti, “Ndiwe mambo wavaJudha here?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Jesu akati, “Kufunga kwako woga here kana kuti vamwe vataura newe pamusoro pangu?”
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?”
Pirato akapindura achiti, “Ndiri muJudha here ini? Vanhu vako navaprista vako vakuru vauya newe kwandiri. Wakaiteiko?”
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.”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Umambo hwangu hahusi hwenyika ino. Dai zvanga zvakadaro, varanda vangu vaizorwa kuti ndirege kusungwa navaJudha. Asi zvino umambo hwangu hunobva kune imwe nzvimbo.”
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.”
Pirato akati, “Saka uri mamboka!” Jesu akapindura akati, “Wataura zvakanaka pawati ndiri mambo. Chokwadi ndechokuti, ndizvo zvandakazvarirwa, uye nokuda kwaizvozvo ndakauya munyika, kuti ndizopupurira chokwadi. Ani naani anoda chokwadi anonditeerera.”
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.
Pirato akamubvunza akati, “Chokwadi chiiko?” Akati ataura izvozvo akabudazve kunze kuvaJudha akati, “Handiwani hwaro hwemhosva yomurume uyu.
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?”
Asi itsika yenyu imi kuti ini ndikusunungurirei musungwa panguva yePasika. Munoda here kuti ndikusunungurirei mambo wavaJudha?”
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Vakadanidzira vachiti, “Kwete, uyu! Tipei Bharabhasi!” Zvino Bharabhasi akanga ari gororo.
