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.

¹When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.

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

²Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples.

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

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

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

⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?

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

⁵They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

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

⁶When therefore he said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.

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

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

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

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

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

⁹that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one.

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

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

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

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

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

¹²So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,

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

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

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

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

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.

¹⁵And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

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.

¹⁶but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

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

¹⁷The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

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

¹⁸Now the servants and the officers were standing [there], having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

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

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

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.

²⁰Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing.

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

²¹Why askest thou me? Ask them that have heard [me], what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said.

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

²²And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

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

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

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

²⁴Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

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

²⁵Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

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

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

²⁷Petro akakana tena; mara jogoo akawika.

²⁷Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew.

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

²⁸They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

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

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

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

³⁰They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee.

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

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

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

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

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

³³Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

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

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

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

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

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."

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.

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."

³⁷Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

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

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 no crime in him.

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

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?

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

⁴⁰They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.)
