John 18
1 Tukun Jesus el pre tari, el wi mwet tumal lutlut illa, ac som tupalla Infacl Srisrik Kidron. Oasr ima se in acn sac, ac Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos utyak nu we.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Judas, el su ac tukakunulak Jesus, el etu acn sac, mweyen pus pacl Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos tukeni we.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Ouinge Judas el som nu in ima sac, ac pwen sie un mwet mweun lun acn Rome welul, oayapa kutu mwet soan ke Tempul ma supweyukla sin mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee. Elos us mwe mweun, lam ac kahp welulos.
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus el etu na ma nukewa ma ac sikyak nu sel, ouinge el kalukyang nu yorolos ac siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come on him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek you?
5 Elos topuk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.” El fahk, “Nga pa el.” Judas el wi tu inmasrlon un mwet sac.
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Ke Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Nga pa el,” elos kohloli ac topla nu infohk ah.
As soon then as he had said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Jesus el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?” Ac elos fahk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.”
Then asked he them again, Whom seek you? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk tari nu suwos lah nga pa el. Fin nga pa kowos suk an, fuhlela mwet inge in som.” (
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore you seek me, let these go their way:
9 El fahk ouinge tuh in akpwayeiyuk kas se el tuh fahk meet: “Papa, tia sie selos su kom ase nu sik tuhlac likiyu.”)
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them which you gave me have I lost none.
10 Oasr cutlass se yorol Simon Peter, na el faesak ac sang paki sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, ac wotela sracl layen layot. Inen mwet kulansap sac pa Malchus.
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Jesus el fahk nu sel Peter, “Isongya cutlass nutum an nu ke ma nukumyen! Mea, kom nunku mu nga ac tia nim ke cup in keok se ma Papa El se nu sik uh?”
Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Toko mwet mweun Rome ac captain lalos, wi mwet soan lun mwet Jew, elos sruokilya Jesus ac kaprilya,
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 ac kololla meet nu yorol Annas. Annas pa papa tumun mutan kial Caiaphas, su Mwet Tol Fulat ke yac sac.
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14 Caiaphas pa tuh sang kas in kasru nu sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew mu, ac fal tuh mwet sefanna in misa ke mwet nukewa.
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simon Peter ac sie pac mwet lutlut eltal fahsr tokol Jesus. Mwet lutlut se saya ah eteyuk sin Mwet Tol Fulat, ouinge el welul Jesus utyak na nwe ke inkul lun Mwet Tol Fulat,
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 a Peter el mutana likin kalkal ah sisken mutunpot ah. Na mwet lutlut se ngia el tufoki ac kaskas nu sin mutan kulansap se su karingin mutunpot uh, ac pwanulak Peter nu in kalkal ah.
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Mutan sac fahk nu sel Peter, “Ku kom tia sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” Peter el topuk, “Mo, tia nga.”
Then says the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Are not you also one of this man’s disciples? He says, I am not.
18 Mwet kulansap ac mwet topang elos tanak tari sie e ke mulut ke sripen arulana ohu, ac elos tu raunela ac langlung kac. Na Peter el welulosyang tu langlung.
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Mwet Tol Fulat el lolngok sin Jesus ke mwet tumal lutlut ac ke luti lal ah.
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Pacl nukewa nga kaskas lemtulauk nu sin mwet uh. Luti luk nukewa orek in iwen lolngok ac in Tempul, yen mwet nukewa tukeni we. Wangin kutena ma nga fahk in lukma.
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Na efu kom ku kusen siyuk sik? Siyuk sin mwet ma lohngyu ah lah mea nga fahk nu selos. Elos etu ma nga fahk.”
Why ask you me? ask them which heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I said.
22 Ke Jesus el fahk ma inge, sie sin mwet soan su tu we puokya likintupal ac fahk, “Kom ku kaskas angan nu sin Mwet Tol Fulat!”
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answer you the high priest so?
23 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Fin oasr ma nga fahk tuh sufal, akkalemye nu sesr nukewa. A fin pwaye ma nga fahk uh, efu kom ku puokyu?”
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smite you me?
24 Jesus el srakna kapir ke Annas el supwalla nu yorol Caiaphas, Mwet Tol Fulat.
Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Peter el srakna tu langlung insac, na kutu sin mwet uh fahk nu sel, “Ku tia kom pa sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” A Peter el sifil lafu ac fahk, “Mo, tia nga.”
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 Sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, su sou lun mwet se ma Peter el pakela insrac ah, el kasla ac fahk, “Kom pa nga liye welul Jesus in ima sac — pwaye?”
One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see you in the garden with him?
27 Peter el sifilpa fahk, “Mo” — na in pacl sacna, won se kahkla.
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28 Toang na in lotu sac, utukla Jesus liki lohm sel Caiaphas nu inkul fulat sel governor. Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew uh elos tuh tia wi utyak nu inkul fulat sac ke sripen elos tia lungse akfohkfokyalos, elos in mau ku in mongo ke Kufwen Alukela.
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Ouinge Pilate el ilme nu yorolos ac siyuk, “Mea kowos tukakin mwet se inge kac uh?”
Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring you against this man?
30 Top lalos nu sel pa, “El funu tia orala sie ma koluk lulap, kut lukun tia usalu nu yurum.”
They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to you.
31 Pilate el fahk nu selos, “Fin angan, kowos sifacna usal ac nununkal fal nu ke ma sap lowos an.” Elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma sap lowos, mwet Rome, tia lela nu sesr in wotela sie mwet in anwuki.” (
Then said Pilate to them, Take you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 Ma inge sikyak in akpwayei ma Jesus el fahk ke el fahkak luman misa ma el ac misa kac.)
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33 Pilate el sifil utyak nu in lohm sel ac sap in utuku Jesus nu yorol, na el siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus el topuk, “Ya ma na kom sifacna siyuk, ku mwet pa fahk nu sum keik?”
Jesus answered him, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?
35 Pilate el topkol ac fahk, “Ya kom nunku mu nga sie mwet Jew? Mwet lom sifacna ac mwet tol fulat pa eiskomme nu sik. Mea kom orala uh?”
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me: what have you done?
36 Jesus el fahk, “Tokosrai luk uh tia ma lun facl se inge. Funu ma lun faclu, mwet ma fahsr tukuk lukun anwuk in taranyu liki poun mwet fulat lun mwet Jew. Mo. Tokosrai luk tia ma faclu!”
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Ke ma inge Pilate el siyuk sel, “Fin angan, ya tokosra se pa kom?” Jesus el topuk, “Kom pa fahk mu tokosra se pa nga uh. Nga isusla ac tuku nu faclu ke na sripa se inge: in kaskas ke ma pwaye. Kutena mwet su ma lun ma pwaye elos porongeyu.”
Pilate therefore said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate el siyuk, “Ac mea ma pwaye?” Na Pilate el sifil illa nu yurin mwet uh ac fahk nu selos, “Nga tia ku in konauk kutena ma koluk lun mwet se inge.
Pilate says to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 Tusruktu in fal nu ke oakwuk uh, yac nukewa ke pacl in Kufwen Alukela nga muta aksukosokyela sie mwet kapir nu suwos. Kowos lungse nga in aksukosokyela tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
But you have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover: will you therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?
40 Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Mo, tia el! Kut lungse Barabbas!” (Barabbas el sie mwet pisrapasr sulallal.)
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
