1Pea 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.
1After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
2Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻae potu ʻe Siutasi foki, ʻaia ne ne lavakiʻi ia: he naʻe faʻa ʻalu ki ai ʻa Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga.
2Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
3Pea 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.
3So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4Ka 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?”
4Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5Pea 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.
5“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
6Pea ʻi heʻene pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko au ia,” naʻa nau fakaholomui, ʻo tō ki he kelekele.
6When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7Pea toe fehuʻi ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻoku mou kumi?” Pea nau pehē, “Ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti.”
7So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
8Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, “Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu ko au ia: ko ia kapau ʻoku mou kumi au, tuku ʻakinautolu ni ke ʻalu:”
8“I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
9Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ai ʻae lea ʻaia naʻa ne leaʻaki, ʻiate kinautolu “Naʻa ke foaki kiate au, ʻoku ʻikai mole ha taha.”
9This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
10Pea 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.
10Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11Pea 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?”
11“Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
12Pea ko e kau tau mo e houʻeiki mo e kau tangata fekau ʻoe kakai Siu naʻa nau puke ʻa Sisu, ʻo haʻi ia,
12Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13ʻO 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.
13They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14Pea ko Kaiafasi ia foki naʻa ne tala ki he kakai Siu, ʻoku ʻaonga ke mate ha tangata ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko e kakai.
14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died 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.
15Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16Ka 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.
16But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17Pea lea ʻae fefine leʻo matapā kia Pita, “ʻIkai ko e taha koe ʻoe kau ākonga ʻae tangata ni?” Pea tala ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai.”
17At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
18Pea 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.
18Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
19¶ Pea fehuʻi ai ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi kia Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea mo ʻene akonaki.
19Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
20Pea 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.
20“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21Ko 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.”
21Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
22Pea 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?”
22When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
23Pea 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?”
23Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
24Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻAnasi ke ʻave haʻisia ia kia Kaiafasi ko e taulaʻeiki lahi.
24Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25Pea 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.”
25Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26Pea 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?”
26One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
27Pea toe fakafisi ʻe Pita: pea ʻuʻua leva ʻae moa.
27Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
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.
28Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29Pea ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Pailato kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou talatalaakiʻi ai ʻae tangata ni?”
29So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30Pea leaange ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ka ne ʻikai ko e fai kovi ia, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te mau tuku atu ia kiate koe.”
30“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
31Pea 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:”
31“You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
32Pea fakamoʻoni ai ʻae lea ʻa Sisu, ʻi heʻene fakahā ʻae anga ʻoe mate ʻe mate ai ia.
32This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33Pea 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?”
33Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
34Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku meiate koe hoʻo lea ni, pe naʻe fakahā ia ʻe ha niʻihi kiate koe?”
34“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
35Pea 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?”
35“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
36Pea 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.”
36Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
37Ko 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.”
37“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
38Pea 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.
38“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.
39Ka 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?”
39But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40Pea toe kalanga ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai ko e tangata ni, ka ko Palāpasa.” Pea ko Palāpasa ko e kaihaʻa ia.
40“Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
