1 K a mutu enei korero a Ihu ka haere ia, ratou ko ana akonga, ki tawahi o te manga wai, ara o Kerono. Na, he kari kei reira, a tapoko atu ana ia, ratou ko ana akonga.

When Jesus had said these things, He went with His followers across the small river Kidron. He and His followers went to a garden there.

2 I matauria ano taua wahi e Huria, e te tangata e tukua ai ia: he maha hoki nga hokinga o Ihu, ratou ko ana akonga ki reira.

Judas, who was handing Him over to the leaders, knew the place also. Jesus and His followers had met there many times.

3 N a ka hoatu ki a Hura tetahi matua me etahi katipa e nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi, a haere ana ki reira, me nga roherohe, me nga rama, me nga patu.

Judas led some soldiers and some men who had been sent by the head religious leaders of the Jews and the proud religious law-keepers to the garden. They carried lamps and sticks that were burning and swords.

4 H eoi i matau a Ihu ki nga mea katoa meake pa ki a ia, ka puta atu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko wai ta koutou e rapu?

Jesus knew what was going to happen to Him. He went out and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”

5 K a whakahokia e ratou ki a ia, Ko Ihu o Nahareta. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko ahau ia. A, i te tu ano i roto i a ratou a Hura, tona kaituku.

The soldiers answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said, “I am Jesus.” Judas, who was handing Him over, was with them also.

6 N a, i tana korerotanga ki a ratou, Ko ahau ia, hoki ana ratou ki muri, hinga ana ki te whenua.

When He said to them, “I am Jesus,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

7 N a ka ui ano ia ki a ratou, Ko wai ta koutou e rapu? Ka mea ratou, Ko Ihu o Nahareta.

He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said again, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

8 K a whakahokia e Ihu, Kua mea ahau ki a koutou, Ko ahau ia: ki te mea e rapu ana koutou i ahau, tukua enei kia haere:

He said, “I have told you that I am Jesus. If you are looking for Me, let these men go their way.”

9 K ia rite ai te kupu i korerotia e ia, kahore i ngaro tetahi o te hunga i homai e koe ki ahau.

He said this so the words He spoke might happen, “I have not lost one of those You gave Me.”

10 N a he hoari ta Haimona Pita, unuhia ana e ia a haua iho te pononga a te tohunga nui, tapahia ana tona taringa matau. Ko te ingoa o taua pononga ko Maraku.

Simon Peter had a sword. He took it and hit a servant who was owned by the head religious leader and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

11 K a mea a Ihu ki a Pita, Kuhua tau hoari ki te takotoranga: ko te kapu i homai nei e toku Matua ki ahau auaka ranei e inumia e ahau?

Then Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back where it belongs. Am I not to go through what My Father has given Me to go through?” Jesus Stands in Front of Annas

12 H eoi ka hopukina a Ihu e taua ope, e te rangatira ratou ko nga katipa o nga Hurai, a hereherea ana ia,

Then the soldiers and their captain and the men sent by the Jewish religious leaders took Jesus and tied Him.

13 A ka arahina ki a Anaha i te tuatahi; ko ia hoki te hungawai o Kaiapa, o te tohunga nui mo taua tau.

They took Him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the head religious leader that year.

14 N a ko Kaiapa tenei nana ra i whakatakoto te whakaaro ki nga Hurai, he pai ke ki te mate te tangata kotahi mo te iwi.

Caiaphas had talked to the Jews. He told them it would be a good thing if one man should die for the people. Peter Lies about Jesus

15 N a ka aru a Haimona Pita i a Ihu, a ka aru ano hoki tetahi atu o nga akonga: na i mohiotia taua akonga e te tohunga nui, a tomo tahi ana me Ihu ki te whare o te tohunga nui;

Simon Peter and another follower came behind Jesus. This other follower was known to the head religious leader. He went with Jesus to the head religious leader’s house.

16 K o Pita ia i tu i te kuwaha i waho. Na ka puta atu taua akonga i mohiotia nei e te tohunga nui, ka korero ki te kaitiaki o te tatau, a arahina ana a Pita ki roto.

Peter stood outside at the gate. The other follower, who was known by the head religious leader, went out and talked to the servant-girl who watched the gate. Then he took Peter inside.

17 N a ko te meatanga a te kotiro tiaki o te tatau ki a Pita, Ehara ianei koe i tetahi o nga akonga a tenei tangata? Ka mea ia, Ehara.

The servant-girl who watched the door said to Peter, “Are you not a follower of this Man?” He said, “I am not!”

18 N a i reira nga pononga me nga katipa e tu ana, kua whakaungia hoki e ratou te kapura waro; he makariri hoki; a e inaina ana ratou: ko Pita hoki tetahi o ratou, e tu tahi ana e inaina ana.

The servants who were owned by someone and the soldiers had made a fire because it was cold. They were getting warm by the fire. Peter was standing with them getting warm. Jesus Stands in Front of Caiaphas

19 N a ka ui te tohunga nui ki a Ihu, ki ana akonga, ki tana ako.

The head religious leader of the Jews asked Jesus about His followers. He asked Jesus about His teaching.

20 K a whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, I marama tonu taku korero ki te ao; i ako tonu ahau i roto i te whare karakia, i te temepara hoki, i te wahi huihui o nga Hurai katoa; kahore hoki tetahi mea i korerotia pukutia e ahau.

Jesus said, “I have spoken very plain words to the world. I have always taught in the Jewish place of worship and in the house of God. It is where the Jews go all the time. My words have not been said in secret.

21 H e aha koe ka ui ai ki ahau? ui atu ki te hunga i rongo ki taku i mea ai ki a ratou: nana, e mohio ana ratou ki aku i korero ai.

Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard what I said to them. They know what I said.”

22 N a, i tana korerotanga i enei kupu, ka papaki tetahi o nga katipa i tu ra i a Ihu, ka mea, E pena ana koe ki te tohunga nui?

Then one of the soldiers standing there hit Jesus with his hand. He said, “Is that how You talk to the head religious leaders?”

23 K a whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, Ki te kino aku korero, whakaaturia te kino: ki te pai ia, he aha koe i papaki ai i ahau?

Jesus said, “If I said anything wrong, tell Me what was wrong. If I said what was right, why did you hit Me?”

24 N a ka tukua hereheretia atu ia e Anaha ki a Kaiapa tohunga nui.

Then Annas sent Jesus to Caiaphas, the head religious leader. Jesus was still tied up.

25 N a, tera a Haimona Pita te tu ra me te inaina. Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ehara ianei koe i tetahi o ana akonga? Ka whakakahore ia, ka mea, Ehara.

Simon Peter was standing there and getting warm. They said to him, “Are you not one of His followers also?” He lied and said he did not know Jesus and answered, “I am not!”

26 K a mea tetahi o nga pononga a te tohunga nui, he whanaunga nona i tapahia nei te taringa e Pita, Kihai ianei ahau i kite i a koe, korua tahi i te kari?

A servant who was owned by the head religious leader was there. He was of the family of the man whose ear Peter cut off. The man said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”

27 N a ka whakakahore ano a Pita: a tangi tonu iho te tikaokao.

Again Peter lied and said he did not know Jesus. At once a rooster crowed. Jesus Stands in Front of Pilate

28 K atahi ka arahina atu e ratou a Ihu i a Kaiapa ki te whare whakawa: he atatu: ko ratou ia kihai i tomo ki te whare whakawa, kei poke ratou, engari kia kai ai ratou i te kapenga.

They led Jesus from Caiaphas into the court room. It was early in the morning. They did not go inside because their Law said if they did they would become dirty with sin. Then they would not be able to eat the religious supper to remember how the Jews left Egypt.

29 N a ka puta atu a Pirato ki a ratou, ka mea, He aha ta koutou whakapae ki tenei tangata?

So Pilate came out to them. He asked, “What have you to say against the Man?”

30 K a whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Me i kaua ia te mahi i te kino, kihai i kawea mai e matou ki a koe.

The Jews said, “If He had not done wrong, we would not have brought Him to you.”

31 N a ko te meatanga a Pirato ki a ratou, Mauria atu ia, whakawakia ki to koutou na ture. Ka mea nga Hurai ki a ia, E kore e tika kia whakamatea tetahi tangata e matou:

Then Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and give Him a trial by your Law.” The Jews said to him, “It is against our Law to put anyone to death.”

32 K ia rite ai ta Ihu kupu i korero ai, hei whakaatu i te mate e mate ai ia.

This happened as Jesus said it would happen. He had told what kind of death He would die.

33 M e i reira ka tomo ano a Pirato ki te whare whakawa, ka karanga i a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te Kingi ranei koe o nga Hura?

Then Pilate went back into the court room. He called for Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

34 K a whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, Nau ake ano tenei kupu, he korero ranei moku na te tangata ke ki a koe?

Jesus said, “Do you ask Me this yourself, or did others say this to you about Me?”

35 K a mea a Pirato, He Hurai koia ahau? Na tou iwi, na nga tohunga nui ano hoki, koe i kawe mai ki ahau: i aha koia koe?

Pilate said, “Do you think I am a Jew? Your own people and religious leaders have handed You over to me. What have You done?”

36 K a whakahokia e Ihu, Ehara toku rangatiratanga i tenei ao; mehemea no tenei ao toku rangatiratanga, kua tatau aku pononga, kei tukua ahau ki nga Hurai: tena ko tenei ehara toku rangatiratanga i konei.

Jesus said, “My holy nation does not belong to this world. If My holy nation were of this world, My helpers would fight so I would not be handed over to the Jews. My holy nation is not of this world.”

37 N a ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, He kingi oti koe? ka whakahokia e Ihu, Kua korerotia mai na e koe he kingi ahau. Ko te mea tenei i whanau ai ahau: na tenei hoki ahau i haere mai ai ki te ao, hei kaiwhakaatu mo te pono. E whakarongo ana ki toku reo n ga tangata katoa o te pono.

Pilate said to Him, “So You are a King?” Jesus said, “You are right when you say that I am a King. I was born for this reason. I came into the world for this reason. I came to speak about the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Jesus or Barabbas Is to Go Free

38 K a mea a Pirato ki a ia, He aha te pono? A, no te puakanga o tenei ki hoki ana ia ki waho, ki nga Hurai, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore tetahi he o tenei tangata i mau i ahau.

Pilate said to Jesus, “What is truth?” After Pilate said this, he went out again to the Jews. He said, “I do not find Him guilty.

39 O tiia he ritenga tenei na koutou, kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou tetahi tangata i te kapenga: e pai ana ranei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kingi o nga Hurai.

But every year a man who is in prison is allowed to go free at the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. Do you want the King of the Jews to go free?”

40 H eoi karanga katoa ana ano ratou, ka mea, Auaka tenei, engari a Parapa. Na, he tahae a Parapa.

Then they spoke with loud voices, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
