¹When 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.

¹Yesu 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.

²And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

²Yuda, aliyemsaliti Yesu, alipajua mahali hapo kwani mara nyingi Yesu alikutana na wanafunzi wake huko.

³Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

³Basi, Yuda alichukua kikosi cha askari na walinzi kutoka kwa makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo, akaja nao bustanini wakiwa na taa, mienge na silaha.

⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

⁴Yesu, hali akijua yote yatakayompata, akatokea, akawauliza, "Mnamtafuta nani?"

⁵They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

⁵Nao wakamjibu, "Yesu wa Nazareti!" Yesu akawaambia, "Mimi ndiye." Msaliti Yuda alikuwa amesimama hapo pamoja nao.

⁶As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁶Basi, Yesu alipowaambia: "Mimi ndiye", wakarudi nyuma, wakaanguka chini.

⁷Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷Yesu akawauliza tena, "Mnamtafuta nani?" Wakamjibu, "Yesu wa Nazareti!"

⁸Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

⁸Yesu akawaambia, "Nimekwisha waambieni kwamba mimi ndiye. Basi, kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa waende zao."

⁹That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

⁹(Alisema hayo ili yapate kutimia yale aliyosema: "Wale ulionipa sikumpoteza hata mmoja.")

¹⁰Then 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.

¹⁰Simoni Petro alikuwa na upanga; basi, akauchomoa, akamkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu. Mtumishi huyo aliitwa Malko.

¹¹Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

¹¹Basi, Yesu akamwambia Petro, "Rudisha upanga wako alani. Je, nisinywe kikombe alichonipa Baba?"

¹²Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

¹²Kile kikosi cha askari, mkuu wake na walinzi wa Wayahudi walimkamata Yesu, wakamfunga

¹³And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

¹³na kumpeleka kwanza kwa Anasi; Anasi alikuwa baba mkwe wa Kayafa ambaye alikuwa Kuhani Mkuu mwaka huo.

¹⁴Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹⁴Huyo Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewashauri Wayahudi kwamba ni afadhali mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya taifa.

¹⁵And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

¹⁵Simoni 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.

¹⁶But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

¹⁶Lakini 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.

¹⁷Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

¹⁷Huyo msichana mngoja mlango akamwuliza Petro, "Je, nawe pia ni mmoja wa wanafunzi wa mtu huyu?" Petro akamwambia, "Si mimi!"

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Watumishi na walinzi walikuwa wamewasha moto kwa sababu kulikuwa na baridi, wakawa wanaota moto. Naye Petro alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao akiota moto.

¹⁹The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

¹⁹Basi, Kuhani akamwuliza Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.

²⁰Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

²⁰Yesu akamjibu, "Nimesema na kila mtu daima hadharani. Kila mara nimefundisha katika masunagogi na Hekaluni, mahali wakutanikiapo Wayahudi wote; na wala sijasema chochote kwa siri.

²¹Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

²¹Kwa nini waniuliza mimi? Waulize wale waliosikia nini niliwaambia. Wao wanajua nilivyosema."

²²And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

²²Alipokwisha sema hayo mlinzi mmoja aliyekuwa amesimama hapo akampiga kofi akisema, "Je, ndivyo unavyomjibu Kuhani Mkuu?"

²³Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

²³Yesu akamjibu, "Kama nimesema vibaya, onyesha huo ubaya; lakini ikiwa nimesema vema, mbona wanipiga?"

²⁴Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

²⁴Basi, Anasi akampeleka Yesu akiwa amefungwa, kwa Kuhani Mkuu Kayafa.

²⁵And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

²⁵Petro alikuwa hapo akiota moto. Basi, wakamwuliza, "Je, nawe pia si mmoja wa wanafunzi wake?" Yeye akakana na kusema, "Si mimi!"

²⁶One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

²⁶Mmoja wa watumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, jamaa wa yule aliyekatwa sikio na Petro, akamwuliza, "Je, mimi sikukuona wewe bustanini pamoja naye?"

²⁷Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

²⁷Petro akakana tena; mara jogoo akawika.

²⁸Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto 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.

²⁸Basi, walimchukua Yesu kutoka kwa Kayafa, wakampeleka ikulu. Ilikuwa alfajiri, nao ili waweze kula Pasaka, hawakuingia ndani ya ikulu wasije wakatiwa najisi.

²⁹Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

²⁹Kwa hiyo, Pilato aliwaendea nje, akasema, "Mna mashtaka gani juu ya mtu huyu?"

³⁰They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

³⁰Wakamjibu, "Kama huyu hangalikuwa mwovu hatungalimleta kwako."

³¹Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

³¹Pilato akawaambia, "Haya, mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kufuatana na Sheria yenu." Wayahudi wakamjibu, "Sisi hatuna mamlaka ya kumwua mtu yeyote."

³²That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

³²(Ilifanyika hivyo yapate kutimia maneno aliyosema Yesu kuonyesha atakufa kifo gani.)

³³Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

³³Pilato akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwita Yesu na kumwuliza: "Ati wewe ndiye Mfalme wa Wayahudi?"

³⁴Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

³⁴Yesu akamjibu, "Je, hayo ni maneno yako au wengine wamekwambia habari zangu?"

³⁵Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

³⁵Pilato akamjibu, "Je, ni Myahudi mimi? Taifa lako na makuhani wamekuleta kwangu. Umefanya nini?"

³⁶Jesus 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.

³⁶Yesu 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."

³⁷Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest 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 unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

³⁷Hapo 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."

³⁸Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

³⁸Pilato akamwambia, "Ukweli ni kitu gani?" Pilato alipokwisha sema hayo, aliwaendea tena Wayahudi nje, akawaambia, "Mimi sioni hatia yoyote kwake.

³⁹But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

³⁹Lakini, mnayo desturi kwamba mimi niwafungulie mfungwa mmoja wakati wa Pasaka. Basi, mwataka niwafungulieni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?"

⁴⁰Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

⁴⁰Hapo wakapiga kelele: "La! Si huyu ila Baraba!" Naye Baraba alikuwa mnyang'anyi.
