¹Jesu areva zvinhu izvi wakabudira mhiri kwerukova Kedhironi nevadzidzi vake, paiva nebindu, maakapinda iye nevadzidzi vake.

¹When 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.

²NaJudhasiwo, wakamutengesa, wakange achiziva nzvimbo iyi; nekuti Jesu kazhinji waiunganapo nevadzidzi vake.

²Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

³Naizvozvo Judhasi, atora boka remauto, nemapurisa kubva kuvapristi vakuru nevaFarisi, wakauyapo nemwenje nemarambi nezvombo.

³Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

⁴Naizvozvo Jesu, achiziva zvinhu zvose zvaizomuwira, wakabuda akati kwavari: Ndiani wamunotsvaka?

⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”

⁵Vakamupindura vakati: Jesu muNazareta. Jesu akati kwavari: Ndini. NaJudhasiwo wakamutengesa wakange amire navo.

⁵They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

⁶Zvino wakati achiti kwavari: Ndini; vakasudurukira shure, vakawira pasi.

⁶When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷Zvino akavabvunzazve achiti: Ndiani wamunotsvaka? Ivo vakati: Jesu muNazareta.

⁷Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁸Jesu akapindura achiti: Ndakuudzai kuti ndini iye; naizvozvo kana muchitsvaka ini, regai ava vaende;

⁸Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”

⁹kuti shoko rizadziswe raakareva rekuti: Vamakapa kwandiri, handina kurasa umwe wavo.

⁹that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.” John 6:39

¹⁰Naizvozvo Simoni Petro ane munondo wakauvhomora ndokutema muranda wemupristi mukuru, ndokugura nzeve yake yerudyi. Uye zita remuranda uyo raiva Marikosi.

¹⁰Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

¹¹Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kuna Petro: Isa munondo wako mumuhara; mukombe Baba wavakandipa, handingatongoumwi here?

¹¹Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”

¹²Zvino boka remauto nemukuru wechuru nemapurisa evaJudha vakabata Jesu, vakamusunga,

¹²So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,

¹³ndokutanga kumuisa kuna Anasi; nekuti wakange ari mukarabwa waKayafasi, waiva mupristi mukuru gore iroro.

¹³and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

¹⁴Zvino Kayafasi ndiye wakange araira vaJudha, kuti zvakanaka kuti munhu umwe afire rudzi.

¹⁴Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

¹⁵Zvino Simoni Petro wakatevera Jesu, neumwe mudzidzi. Mudzidzi uyu waizikamwa nemupristi mukuru, akapinda naJesu muruvanze rwemupristi mukuru;

¹⁵Simon 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;

¹⁶asi Petro wakange amire pamukova panze. Naizvozvo kwakabuda umwe mudzidzi waizikamwa nemupristi mukuru, akataura nemurindikadzi wemukova, ndokupinza Petro.

¹⁶but 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.

¹⁷Zvino murandakadzi murindi wemukova akati kuna Petro: Iwewo hausi umwe wevadzidzi vemunhu uyu here? Iye akati: Handisi.

¹⁷Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”

¹⁸Zvino varanda nemapurisa vakange vamire vavesa moto wemazimbe, nekuti kwaitonhora, uye vaidziya. Petrowo akamira navo achidziya.

¹⁸Now 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.

¹⁹Naizvozvo mupristi mukuru wakabvunza Jesu nezvevadzidzi vake, nezvedzidziso yake.

¹⁹The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.

²⁰Jesu akamupindura akati: Ini ndataura pachena kunyika; ini ndaidzidzisa nguva dzose mumasinangoge nemutembere, panoungana vaJudha nguva dzose, uye handina kureva chinhu pakavanda.

²⁰Jesus 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.

²¹Unobvunzirei ini? Bvunza avo vainzwa, zvandaitaura kwavari; tarira, ndivo vanoziva ini zvandakareva.

²¹ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, these know the things which I said.”

²²Wakati areva zvinhu izvi, umwe wemapurisa wakange amirepo akarova Jesu nembama, achiti: Ko unopindura mupristi mukuru saizvozvo?

²²When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”

²³Jesu akamupindura akati: Kana ndareva zvakaipa, pupura zvezvakaipa zvacho; asi kana zvakanaka, wandiroverei?

²³Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”

²⁴Zvino Anasi akamutumira akasungwa kuna Kayafasi mupristi mukuru.

²⁴Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

²⁵Zvino Simoni Petro wakange amire achidziya moto; naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Hausiwe umwe wevadzidzi vake here? Iye akaramba, akati: Handisi.

²⁵Now 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.”

²⁶Umwe wevaranda vemupristi mukuru, ari hama yewenzeve Petro yaakagura akati: Ini handina kukuona mubindu unaye here?

²⁶One 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?”

²⁷Naizvozvo Petro akarambazve; zvino pakarepo jongwe rakarira.

²⁷Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

²⁸Zvino vakabvisa Jesu kuna Kayafasi vakamuisa kuimba yemutungamiriri; uye aiva mambakwedza, asi ivo havana kupinda mumba memutungamiriri, kuti varege kusvibiswa, asi kuti vadye pasika.

²⁸They 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.

²⁹Naizvozvo Pirato akabudira kwavari, akati: Imhosva yei yamunoisa pamunhu uyu?

²⁹Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”

³⁰Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Dai uyu asaiva unoita zvakaipa, tingadai tisina kumukumikidza kwamuri.

³⁰They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

³¹Naizvozvo Pirato wakati kwavari: Mutorei imwi, mumutonge zvinoenderana nemurairo wenyu. Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati kwaari: Hazvisi pamutemo kwatiri kuti tiuraye munhu;

³¹Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,”

³²kuti shoko raJesu rizadziswe raakareva, achiratidza kuti kufa rudzii kwaaifanira kufa nako.

³²that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

³³Naizvozvo Pirato wakapindazve mumba memutungamiriri, akadana Jesu, akati kwaari: Ndiwe mambo wevaJudha here?

³³Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

³⁴Jesu akamupindura akati: Unozvireva izvi pachako here, kana vamwe vakuudza pamusoro pangu?

³⁴Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”

³⁵Pirato akapindura, akati: Ini ndiri muJudha here? Rudzi rwako nevapristi vakuru vakukumikidza kwandiri; waitei?

³⁵Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”

³⁶Jesu akapindura akati: Ushe hwangu hahuzi hwenyika ino; kana ushe hwangu hwaiva hwenyika ino, varanda vangu vangadai vairwa, kuti ndirege kukumikidzwa kuvaJudha; asi zvino ushe hwangu hahwusi hwepano.

³⁶Jesus 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.”

³⁷Naizvozvo Pirato wakati kwaari: Saka uri iwe mambo here? Jesu akapindura akati: Unoreva iwe, kuti ini ndiri mambo. Ini ndakaberekerwa izvi, uye ndakauira izvi munyika kuti ndipupurire chokwadi. Umwe neumwe wechokwadi unonzwa inzwi rangu.

³⁷Pilate 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.”

³⁸Pirato akati kwaari: Chokwadi chii? Zvino wakati areva izvi, akabudirazve kuvaJudha, akati kwavari: Ini handiwani mhosva kwaari.

³⁸Pilate 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.

³⁹Asi mune tsika, kuti ndikusunungurirei umwe papasika; naizvozvo munoda kuti ndikusunungurirei Mambo wevaJudha here?

³⁹But 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?”

⁴⁰Ipapo vakadanidzirazve vose, vachiti: Kwete uyu, asi Bharabhasi; zvino Bharabhasi wakange ari gororo.

⁴⁰Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
