< Sione 18 >

1 Pea hili ʻae lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe ʻalu atu ia mo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo laka ʻi he vai ko Kitiloni, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ha ngoue, pea ʻalu ia ki ai, mo ʻene kau ākonga.
When Jesus had spoken these things, he went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
2 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻae potu ʻe Siutasi foki, ʻaia ne ne lavakiʻi ia: he naʻe faʻa ʻalu ki ai ʻa Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga.
And Judas, who delivered him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often went thither with his disciples.
3 Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Siutasi ha kau tau, mo e tuʻunga tangata fekau mei he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi, naʻe haʻu ia ki ai mo e ngaahi maama mo e tūhulu mo e ngaahi mahafu.
Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻe hoko kiate ia, pea ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻoku mou kumi?”
Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom do you seek?
5 Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “Ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko au ia.” Pea naʻe tuʻu foki mo kinautolu ʻa Siutasi, ʻaia naʻa ne lavakiʻi ia.
They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am he. Judas, also, who delivered him up, was standing among them.
6 Pea ʻi heʻene pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko au ia,” naʻa nau fakaholomui, ʻo tō ki he kelekele.
Then, when he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Pea toe fehuʻi ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻoku mou kumi?” Pea nau pehē, “Ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti.”
Then he asked them again: Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, “Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu ko au ia: ko ia kapau ʻoku mou kumi au, tuku ʻakinautolu ni ke ʻalu:”
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away.
9 Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ai ʻae lea ʻaia naʻa ne leaʻaki, ʻiate kinautolu “Naʻa ke foaki kiate au, ʻoku ʻikai mole ha taha.”
This he said, that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken: Of those whom thou hast given me; I have lost none.
10 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Saimone Pita ʻae heletā, pea ne unuhi ia, ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, pea motuhi ai hono telinga toʻomataʻu. Ko e hingoa ʻoe tamaioʻeiki ko Malikusi.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kia Pita, “ʻAi hoʻo heletā ki hono ʻaiʻanga: ko e ipu ʻoku foaki mai kiate au ʻe he Tamai, ʻikai te u inu ia?”
Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?
12 Pea ko e kau tau mo e houʻeiki mo e kau tangata fekau ʻoe kakai Siu naʻa nau puke ʻa Sisu, ʻo haʻi ia,
Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attendants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
13 ‌ʻO nau tomuʻa taki ia kia ʻAnasi; he ko e tamai ia ʻi he fono kia Kaiafasi, ʻaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia.
and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.
14 Pea ko Kaiafasi ia foki naʻa ne tala ki he kakai Siu, ʻoku ʻaonga ke mate ha tangata ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko e kakai.
It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.
15 Pea naʻe muimui ʻa Saimone Pita ʻia Sisu, pea mo e ākonga ʻe taha: naʻe ʻilo ʻae ākonga ko ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi, pea ʻalu ia mo Sisu ki he fale ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi.
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.
16 Ka naʻe tuʻu ʻa Pita ʻituʻa ʻi he matapā. Pea ʻalu ʻae ākonga ʻe taha ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo lea kiate ia naʻe leʻo matapā, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Pita ki loto.
But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Pea lea ʻae fefine leʻo matapā kia Pita, “ʻIkai ko e taha koe ʻoe kau ākonga ʻae tangata ni?” Pea tala ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai.”
Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not.
18 Pea ko e kau tauhi mo e kau tangata fekau naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, kuo nau tafu ʻae afi ʻaki ʻae ʻakau fefie; he naʻe momoko: pea naʻa nau mumū ai: pea tuʻu ʻa Pita mo kinautolu, ʻo mumū ai.
And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Pea fehuʻi ai ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi kia Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea mo ʻene akonaki.
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
20 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo u lea fakahā ki māmani; ne u ako maʻu pe ʻi he falelotu, pea mo e falelotu lahi, ʻoku faʻa fakataha ai ʻae kakai Siu; pea naʻe ʻikai te u lea ʻaki ha meʻa ʻi he lilo.
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻeke ai kiate au? ʻEke kiate kinautolu kuo fanongo, he ko e hā ʻeku lea kiate kinautolu: vakai, ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻeku lea.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said.
22 Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea sipiʻi ʻa Sisu, ʻe he matāpule ʻe taha naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai, ʻaki hono ʻaofinima, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē hoʻo tali ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi?”
When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus?
23 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kapau kuo u lea kovi, fakahā hono kovi: pea kapau ʻoku lelei, ko e hā ʻoku ke sipiʻi ai au?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me?
24 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻAnasi ke ʻave haʻisia ia kia Kaiafasi ko e taulaʻeiki lahi.
Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Saimone Pita, ʻo mumū. Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai ko e taha foki koe ʻo ʻene kau ākonga?” Pea fakafisi ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai.”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.
26 Pea naʻe lea ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, ko e kāinga ʻo ia naʻe motuhi hono telinga ʻe Pita, [ʻo pehē], “ʻIkai naʻaku mamata kiate koe mo ia ʻi he ngoue?”
One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Pea toe fakafisi ʻe Pita: pea ʻuʻua leva ʻae moa.
Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew.
28 Pea naʻa nau taki hengihengi ʻa Sisu meia Kaiafasi ki he fale fakamaau: pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakamaau, telia naʻa ʻuliʻi ʻakinautolu, pea koeʻuhi ko e nau kai ʻi he [feilaulau ʻoe ]Lakaatu.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s palace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor’s palace.
29 Pea ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Pailato kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou talatalaakiʻi ai ʻae tangata ni?”
Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 Pea leaange ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ka ne ʻikai ko e fai kovi ia, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te mau tuku atu ia kiate koe.”
They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Pea tala ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻave ia, ʻo fakamaau ia ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻomou fono.” Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua kiate kimautolu ke tāmateʻi ha tangata:”
Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;
32 Pea fakamoʻoni ai ʻae lea ʻa Sisu, ʻi heʻene fakahā ʻae anga ʻoe mate ʻe mate ai ia.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 Pea toe hū ʻa Pailato ki he fale fakamaau, ʻo ne ui ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?”
Then Pilate again entered the governor’s palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the king of the Jews?
34 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku meiate koe hoʻo lea ni, pe naʻe fakahā ia ʻe ha niʻihi kiate koe?”
Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me?
35 Pea pehēange ʻe Pailato, “He ko e Siu au? Ko ho kakai ʻoʻou mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi kuo nau tuku mai koe kiate au: ko e hā kuo ke fai?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done?
36 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻo māmani hoku puleʻanga; ka ne ʻo māmani hoku puleʻanga, pehē, ʻe tau hoku kakai, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻatu au ki he kakai Siu: ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai mei heni hoku puleʻanga.”
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.
37 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe Pailato kiate ia, “Pea ko e tuʻi koe koā?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Ko e tuʻi au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea. Ko ia naʻaku fanauʻi, pea ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai ki māmani, koeʻuhi ke u fakamoʻoni ki he moʻoni. Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he moʻoni, ʻoku fanongo ia ki hoku leʻo.”
Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice.
38 Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae moʻoni?” Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻe toe ʻalu ia kituʻa ki he kakai Siu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻeau ha kovi ʻiate ia.
Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.
39 Ka koeʻuhi ko hono anga, ke u tukuange ha tokotaha ʻi he [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu kiate kimoutolu: pea ko homou loto ke u tukuange ʻae Tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu kiate kimoutolu?”
But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?
40 Pea toe kalanga ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai ko e tangata ni, ka ko Palāpasa.” Pea ko Palāpasa ko e kaihaʻa ia.
They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
