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.
1Jesu lawkthuih pacoengah, a hnukbang kaminawk hoi nawnto Kidron tava yaeh ah caeh o, a hnukbang kaminawk hoi vapui yaeh ah kaom takha thungah akun o.
2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
2Jesu loe to ahmuen ah a hnukbang kaminawk hoi caeh o toepsoep pongah, Anih angphat taak Juda mah doeh to ahmuen to panoek toeng.
3Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
3Juda mah kalen koek qaima, Farasinawk mah patoeh ih misatuh kaminawk to takha thungah angzoh haih, nihcae loe hmaithaw, hmaiim, maiphawnawk hoiah ang zoh o.
4Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
4Jesu loe a nuiah pha han koi hmuennawk to panoek boih pongah, hmaa bangah caeh moe, nihcae khaeah, mi maw na pakrong o, tiah a naa.
5They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
5Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nazareth Jesu, tiah a naa o. Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Anih loe Kai hae boeh ni, tiah a naa. Anih angphat taak Juda doeh nihcae hoi nawnto angdoet toeng.
6When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
6Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Anih loe Kai hae boeh ni, tiah thuih pacoengah, nihcae loe hnukbang angnawn o moe, long ah amtimh o.
7Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
7To pacoengah Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Mimaw na pakrong o? tiah dueng let. Nihcae mah, Nazareth Jesu, tiah a naa o.
8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
8Jesu mah, Anih loe Kai hae boeh ni, tiah kang thuih o boeh na ai maw: kai nang pakrong o nahaeloe, hae kaminawk hae caeh o sak ah, tiah a naa.
9that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
9Nang paek ih kaminawk maeto doeh kang hmasak ai, tiah a thuih ih lok akoep han ih ni hae tiah a thuih.
10Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
10To naah Simon Piter mah, angmah ih sumsen to aphongh moe, kalen koek qaima tamna ih bangtang naa to takroek pae pat. Tamna ih ahmin loe Malkuh.
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?”
11Jesu mah Piter khaeah, Na sumsen to tabu thungah pacaeng ah: Kam Pa mah ang paek ih boengloeng hae Ka nae mak ai maw? tiah a naa.
12So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
12To naah misatuh kaminawk hoi Judahnawk zaehoikung angraengnawk mah Jesu to naeh o moe, taoengh o,
13and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
13Anih to Anna khaeah caeh o haih hmaloe, anih loe Kaiapha ih amsae ah oh moe, to na saning ah kalen koek qaima ah oh.
14Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
14Kaiapha loe kaminawk hanah kami maeto duek to hoih kue, tiah Judahnawk khaeah thui kami ah oh.
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;
15Simon Piter hoi a hnukbang kalah kami maeto loe Jesu hnukah bang hoi: to a hnukbang kami loe kalen koek qaima hoiah angmat hoi pongah, anih loe Jesu hoi nawnto kalen koek qaima imthung ah akunh.
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.
16Toe Piter loe tasa bang ih thok taengah angdoet sut. Kalen koek qaima hoi angmat a hnukbang kalah kami maeto loe tasa bangah tacawt, khongkha toep nongpata hoiah lok apaeh hoi pacoengah, Piter to imthung ah akunsak.
17Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
17Khongkha toep nongpata mah Piter khaeah, Nang doeh hae kami hnukbang kaminawk thung ih maeto ah na oh toeng na ai maw? tiah a naa. To naah Piter mah, Kai na ai ni, tiah a naa.
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.
18Angqai pongah, tamnanawk hoi toksah angraengnawk loe hmaitik o moe, hmai angawt o: Piter doeh nihcae khaeah angdoet moe, hmai angawt toeng.
19The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
19Kalen koek qaima mah Jesu khaeah a hnubang kaminawk hoi anih mah patuk ih hmuennawk kawng to dueng.
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.
20Jesu mah anih khaeah, Kai loe long khaeah kamtuengah lok ka thuih; Judahnawk amkhueng o haih sineko hoi tempul ah patukhaih ka sak toepsoep; tih lok doeh tamquta ah ka thui vai ai.
21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
21Tih han ih kai lok nang dueng loe? Ka thuih ih lok thaih kaminawk khaeah dueng oh, khenah, nihcae khaeah tih lok maw ka thuih, ka thuih ih lok loe nihcae mah panoek o.
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?”
22To tiah lok a thuih pacoengah, to ahmuen ah angdoe toksah angraeng maeto mah Jesu to tabaeng, kalen koek qaima ih lok to hae tiah maw na pathim? tiah a naa.
23Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
23Jesu mah anih khaeah, Kasae ka thuih nahaeloe, ka sethaih to na thui ah: loktang lok ni ka thuih, tikhoe kai nang tabaeng loe? tiah a naa.
24Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
24To pacoengah Anna mah anih to taoengh moe, kalen koek qaima, Kaiapha khaeah patoeh.
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.”
25Simon Piter loe angdoet moe, hmai angawt. To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nang doeh anih hnukbang kaminawk thung ih maeto toeng na ai maw? tiah a naa o. Anih mah angphat taak, kai na ai ni, tiah a naa.
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?”
26Kalen koek qaima ih tamna maeto ah kaom, Piter mah naa takroek pae pat ih tamna ih canawk maeto mah, nang loe Anih hoi nawnto takha thungah kaom kang hnuk ih kami na ai maw? tiah a naa.
27Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
27Toe Piter mah, angphat taak let bae: akra ai ah aakhong roep.
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.
28To pacoengah nihcae mah khawnthaw ah Jesu to Kaiapha im hoi lokcaekhaih im bangah caeh o haih: nihcae loe amhnong moeng tih, tiah poek o pongah, lokcaekhaih imthung ah caeh o ai; amhnong kaminawk loe misong loihaih poihkung ih buh to caa o thai mak ai.
29Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
29To pongah Pilat mah nihcae khaeah caeh moe, Tih zae nethaih maw oh moe, hae kami hae kai khaeah nang hoih o? tiah a naa.
30They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
30Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Sethaih sah kami ah om ai nahaeloe, anih hae nang khaeah kang hoi o tih maw? tiah a naa o.
31Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
31Pilat mah nihcae khaeah, Anih hae hoi oh loe, nangmacae ih daan baktiah lokcaek oh, tiah a naa. Toe Judahnawk mah anih khaeah, Kaicae loe mi kawbaktih doeh hum thaihaih daan ka tawn o ai, tiah a naa o.
32that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
32To tiah thuih ih lok loe, kawbaktih duekhaih hoiah maw Jesu dueh tih, tiah thuih ih lok akoephaih han ih ni oh.
33Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
33To pacoengah Pilat loe lokcaekhaih imthung ah akun let moe, Jesu to kawk, anih khaeah, Nang loe Judahnawk ih Siangpharang maw? tiah a naa.
34Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
34Jesu mah anih khaeah, Nangmah koeh ah maw hae lok hae na thuih? To tih ai boeh loe kalah kaminawk mah maw kai kawng hae ang thuih o? tiah a naa.
35Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
35Pilat mah, Kai loe Judah kami ah maw ka oh? Nangmah ih kaminawk hoi kalen koek qaima mah ni nang hae kai khaeah ang thak o: timaw na sak? tiah a naa.
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.”
36Jesu mah, Ka mah siangpahrang ah ukkhaih prae loe hae long nuiah om ai: hae long hae ka ukhaih prae ah om nahaeloe, Judahnawk khaeah kai ang thak o han ai ah, ka tamnanawk mah tuh o tih: toe vaihi kai mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae loe hae long nuiah om ai, tiah a naa.
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.”
37Pilat mah anih khaeah, To tih nahaeloe nang loe Siangpahrang takhae? tiah a naa. Jesu mah, Kai loe Siangpahrang ah ka oh, tiah na thuih ih lok loe amsoem. Kai loe loktang hnukung ah oh han ih ni, ka tapen moe, long ah kang zoh. Mi kawbaktih doeh loktang ah kaom kami mah loe, ka lok to tahngaih, tiah pathim pae.
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.
38Pilat mah anih khaeah, Loktang loe timaw? tiah a naa. Anih mah hae lok thuih pacoengah, Judahnawk khaeah tasa bangah caeh let moe, nihcae khaeah, Anih nuiah zaehaih tidoeh ka hnu ai, tiah a naa.
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?”
39Toe nangmacae ih atawk baktih toengah misong loihhaih poih ah kami maeto kang prawt pae o han oh, to pongah Judah Siangpahrang hae kang prawt pae o han maw? tiah a naa.
40Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
40To naah nihcae boih mah, Hae kami na ai, Barabba to prawt ah, tiah a hangh o. Barabba loe mingcah ah oh.
