18 ¹Atanena zinthu izi, Yesu anatuluka pamodzi ndi ophunzira ake, nawoloka chigwa cha Kidroni, kumene kunali munda; Iye ndi ophunzira ake analowamo. ²Yudasi, wompereka Iye, anadziwanso malowo, chifukwa Yesu kawirikawiri ankasonkhana komweko pamodzi ndi ophunzira ake. ³Choncho Yudasi anafika komweko ndi gulu la asilikali ndi akapitawo ochokera kwa ansembe aakulu ndi Afarisi, atanyamula nyali, miuni, ndi zida.

⁴Choncho Yesu, podziwa zonse zimene zinali kudza pa Iye, anatuluka nati kwa iwo, “Mukufuna yani?”

⁵Iwo anamuyankha, “Yesu wa ku Nazareti.” Yesu anati, “Ndine Iye.” Ndipo Yudasi, wompereka Iye, anaimirira pamodzi ndi iwo. ^a a v5 Yesu akunena dzina laumulungu limene Atate wathu anapatsa Mose pa chitsamba choyaka moto. Momwe asilikali anachitira m'vesi lotsatira — kugwera chagada pansi — kukuonetsa kuti anamva ndithu chimene Iye ananena.

⁶Pamene Yesu anati kwa iwo, “Ndine Iye,” iwo anabwerera m'mbuyo nagwera pansi.

⁷Choncho anawafunsanso, “Mukufuna yani?” Ndipo iwo anati, “Yesu wa ku Nazareti.”

⁸Yesu anayankha, “Ndakuwuzani kuti Ndine Iye. Choncho ngati mukundifuna Ine, lolani anthu awa apite.” ⁹Izi zinakwaniritsa mawu a Yesu omwe: “Sindinataye ngakhale mmodzi wa iwo amene munandipatsa.”

¹⁰Choncho Simoni Petro, atasolola lupanga lake, anakantha wantchito wa mkulu wa ansembe, nadula khutu lake lamanja—wantchitoyo dzina lake Maliko.

¹¹Choncho Yesu anati kwa Petro, “Lowetsa lupanga lako m'chimake. Kodi Ine ndisamwe chikho chimene Atate wanga wandipatsa?”

¹²Ndipo gulu la asilikali, mkulu wawo, ndi akapitawo a Ayuda anagwira Yesu nammanga.

¹³Anamtengera kwa Anasi poyamba, pakuti iye anali mpongozi wa Kayafa, amene anali mkulu wa ansembe chaka chimenecho. ¹⁴Kayafa ndiye amene anawuza Ayuda kuti nkwabwino munthu mmodzi afere anthu.

Petro Atsatira mpaka ku Bwalo

¹⁵Simoni Petro ndi wophunzira wina anatsatira Yesu. Wophunzirayo anadziwika kwa mkulu wa ansembe, choncho analowa pamodzi ndi Yesu m'bwalo la mkulu wa ansembe, ¹⁶koma Petro anaimirira panja pa khomo. Choncho wophunzira winayo, wodziwika kwa mkulu wa ansembe, anatuluka, nalankhula ndi mtsikana wantchito amene ankasunga khomo, nalowetsa Petro mkati. ¹⁷Mtsikana wantchito wosunga khomo anati kwa Petro, “Kodi iwenso si wophunzira wa munthu uyu?” Iye anati, “Ayi, sindine.”

¹⁸Antchito ndi akapitawo, pomva kuzizira, anali atasonkha moto wa makala naimirira akuotha moto; Petro anaimirira pamodzi ndi iwo, akuotha moto.

Afunsidwa Usiku

¹⁹Ndipo mkulu wa ansembe anafunsa Yesu za ophunzira ake ndi za chiphunzitso chake.

²⁰Yesu anamuyankha, “Ine ndinalankhula poyera kwa dziko; nthawi zonse ndinaphunzitsa m'masunagoge ndi m'kachisi, kumene Ayuda onse amasonkhana. Ine sindinanene kanthu mseri. ²¹Mufunsiranji Ine? Funsani amene anamva chimene ndinawawuza; iwo akudziwa chimene ndinanena.”

²²Pamenepa, mmodzi wa alonda amene anali pafupi anamenya Yesu, nati, “Kodi umu ndi mmene mumayankhira mkulu wa ansembe?”

²³Yesu anamuyankha, “Ngati ndalankhula zoyipa, chitira umboni za choyipacho; koma ngati zoona, umandimenyeranji?”

²⁴Ndipo Anasi anamtumiza, akadali womangidwa, kwa Kayafa mkulu wa ansembe.

Petro Akananso

²⁵Pa nthawiyi, Simoni Petro anaimirira akuotha moto. Iwo anati, “Kodi iwenso si mmodzi wa ophunzira ake?” Iye anakana nati, “Ayi, sindine.”

²⁶Mmodzi wa antchito a mkulu wa ansembe, wachibale wa munthu amene Petro anadula khutu lake, anafunsa, “Kodi sindinakuone iwe pamodzi naye m'munda?”

²⁷Petro anakananso, ndipo nthawi yomweyo tambala analira.

Aperekedwa kwa Pilato

²⁸Ndipo anatenga Yesu kuchokera kwa Kayafa kupita ku nyumba ya bwanamkubwa. Kunali m'mawa kwambiri. Iwo eni sanalowe, kuti asadetsedwe koma kuti adye Paseka. ²⁹Choncho Pilato anatulukira kwa iwo nati, “Kodi mukumuneneza munthu uyu mlandu wotani?”

³⁰Iwo anamuyankha, “Munthu uyu akanapanda kuchita zoyipa, ife sitikanamupereka kwa inu.”

³¹Pilato anati, “Mutengeni nokha, mukamuweruze ndi lamulo lanu nokha.” Ayuda anati, “Ife sitiloledwa kupha munthu aliyense.”

³²Izi zinakwaniritsa mawu amene Yesu ananena, kusonyeza mtundu wa imfa imene Iye anali pafupi kufa nayo.

³³Choncho Pilato analowanso m'nyumbamo, nayitana Yesu, namufunsa, “Kodi Inu ndinu Mfumu ya Ayuda?”

³⁴Yesu anayankha, “Kodi mukunena izi pa inu nokha, kapena ena anakuwuzani za Ine?”

³⁵Pilato anayankha, “Kodi Ine ndine Myuda? Mtundu wanu nokha ndi ansembe aakulu anakuperekani kwa ine. Kodi mwachita chiyani?”

³⁶Yesu anayankha, “Ufumu wanga suchokera m'dziko lino. Ukanakhala wa m'dziko lino, antchito anga akanamenyera nkhondo kuti ndisaperekedwe kwa Ayuda. Koma ufumu wanga suchokera kuno.”

³⁷Ndipo Pilato anati kwa Iye, “Ndiye Inu ndinu mfumu?” Yesu anayankha, “Inu mukunena kuti Ine ndine mfumu. Ine ndinabadwira ichi, ndipo ndinadzera m'dziko ichi—kuti ndichitire umboni choonadi. Aliyense wa choonadi amamva mawu anga.”

³⁸Pilato anafunsa, “Choonadi nchiyani?” Ndipo anatulukiranso kwa Ayuda nati, “Ine sindipeza cholakwa chilichonse mwa Iye.

³⁹Koma inu muli ndi mwambo: Ine ndimakumasulirani munthu mmodzi pa Paseka. Choncho kodi mukufuna kuti ndikumasulireni Mfumu ya Ayuda?”

⁴⁰Iwo anafuwulanso, “Osati munthu uyu, koma Baraba!” Koma Baraba anali wachifwamba.
