His Death and Resurrection
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
Ikakaribia sikukuu ya mikate isiyotiwa chachu, iitwayo Sikukuu ya Pasaka.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
Na wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi walikuwa wakitafuta njia ya kumwua; maana walikuwa wakiwaogopa watu.
3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Shetani akamwingia Yuda, aitwaye Iskariote, naye ni mmoja wa wale Thenashara.
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
Akaondoka, akaenda akasema na wakuu wa makuhani na majemadari, jinsi atakavyoweza kumtia mikononi mwao.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
Wakafurahi, wakapatana naye kumpa fedha.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
Akakubali, akatafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti kwao pasipokuwapo mkutano.
The Last Supper
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
Ikafika siku ya mikate isiyotiwa chachu, ambayo ilipasa kuchinja pasaka.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
Akawatuma Petro na Yohana, akisema, Nendeni, mkatuandalie pasaka tupate kuila.
9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
Wakamwambia, Wataka tuandae wapi?
10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
Akawaambia, Tazama, mtakapoingia mjini mtakutana na mwanamume akichukua mtungi wa maji; mfuateni mkaingie katika nyumba atakayoingia yeye.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Na mtamwambia mwenye nyumba, Mwalimu akuambia, Ki wapi chumba cha wageni, nipate kula pasaka humo pamoja na wanafunzi wangu?
12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
Naye atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa orofani, kimekwisha andikwa; andaeni humo.
13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
Wakaenda, wakaona kama alivyowaambia, wakaiandaa pasaka.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
Hata saa ilipofika aliketi chakulani, yeye na wale mitume pamoja naye.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
Akawaambia, Nimetamani sana kuila pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu;
16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
kwa maana nawaambia ya kwamba siili tena hata itakapotimizwa katika ufalme wa Mungu.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
Akapokea kikombe, akashukuru, akasema, Twaeni hiki, mgawanye ninyi kwa ninyi;
18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Maana nawaambia ya kwamba tangu sasa sinywi mazao ya mzabibu hata ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it , and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa, akisema, [Huu ndio mwili wangu unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu; fanyeni hivi kwa ukumbusho wangu.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Kikombe nacho vivyo hivyo baada ya kula; akisema, Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya katika damu yangu, inayomwagika kwa ajili yenu.]
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
Walakini, tazama, mkono wake yeye anayenisaliti upo hapa pamoja nami mezani,
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu aenda zake kama ilivyokusudiwa; lakini, ole wake mtu yule amsalitiye!
23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
Wakaanza kuulizana wao kwa wao, ni yupi miongoni mwao atakayelitenda jambo hilo.
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
Yakatokea mashindano kati yao, kwamba ni nani anayehesabiwa kuwa mkubwa.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
Akawaambia, Wafalme wa Mataifa huwatawala, na wenye mamlaka juu yao huitwa Wenye fadhili;
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
lakini kwenu ninyi sivyo; bali aliye mkubwa kwenu na awe kama aliye mdogo; na mwenye kuongoza kama yule atumikaye.
27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Maana aliye mkubwa ni yupi? Yeye aketiye chakulani, au yule atumikaye? Siye yule aketiye chakulani? Lakini mimi kati yenu ni kama atumikaye.
28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
Nanyi ndinyi mliodumu pamoja nami katika majaribu yangu.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Nami nawawekea ninyi ufalme, kama vile Baba yangu alivyoniwekea mimi;
30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
mpate kula na kunywa mezani pangu katika ufalme wangu; na kuketi katika viti vya enzi, huku mkiwahukumu kabila kumi na mbili za Israeli.
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
Akasema, Simoni, Simoni, tazama, Shetani amewataka ninyi apate kuwapepeta kama vile ngano;
32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
lakini nimekuombea wewe ili imani yako isitindike; nawe utakapoongoka waimarishe ndugu zako.
33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
Akamwambia, Bwana, niwapo pamoja nawe, mimi ni tayari kwenda gerezani au hata kifoni.
34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Akasema, Nakuambia, Petro, jogoo hatawika leo, kabla wewe hujanikana mara tatu ya kuwa hunijui.
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Akawauliza, Je! Hapo nilipowatuma hamna mfuko, wala mkoba, wala viatu, mlipungukiwa na kitu? Wakasema, La!
36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it , and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Akawaambia, Lakini sasa mwenye mfuko na auchukue, na mkoba vivyo hivyo; naye asiye na upanga, na auze joho yake akanunue.
37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Kwa kuwa nawaambia, hayo yaliyoandikwa hayana budi kutimizwa kwangu; ya kuwa, Alihesabiwa pamoja na wahalifu. Kwa sababu yanipasayo yanao mwisho wake.
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Wakasema, Bwana, tazama, hapa pana panga mbili. Akawaambia, Basi.
Gethsemane
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
Akatoka akaenda mpaka mlima wa Mizeituni kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake; wanafunzi wake nao wakafuatana naye.
40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
Alipofika mahali pale aliwaambia, Ombeni kwamba msiingie majaribuni.
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
Mwenyewe akajitenga nao kama kiasi cha kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti akaomba,
42 saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
akisema, Ee Baba, ikiwa ni mapenzi yako, uniondolee kikombe hiki; walakini si mapenzi yangu, bali yako yatendeke.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
Malaika kutoka mbinguni akamtokea akamtia nguvu.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Naye kwa vile alivyokuwa katika dhiki, akazidi sana kuomba; hari yake ikawa kama matone ya damu yakidondoka nchini.]
45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
Alipoondoka katika kuomba kwake, akawajia wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala usingizi kwa huzuni.
46 and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
Akawaambia, Mbona mmelala usingizi? Ondokeni, mkaombe, msije mkaingia majaribuni.
Betrayal and Arrest
47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
Basi alipokuwa katika kusema, tazama, mkutano wa watu, na yule aitwaye Yuda, ambaye ni mmoja wa wale Thenashara, amewatangulia. Akamkaribia Yesu ili kumbusu.
48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
Yesu akamwambia, Yuda, wamsaliti Mwana wa Adamu kwa kumbusu?
49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
Na wale waliokuwa karibu naye walipoona yatakayotukia, walisema, Bwana, tuwapige kwa upanga?
50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
Mmoja wao akampiga mtumwa wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio la kuume.
51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
Yesu akajibu akasema, Mwe radhi kwa hili. Akamgusa sikio, akamponya.
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
Yesu akawaambia wakuu wa makuhani, na maakida wa hekalu, na wazee, waliokuja juu yake, Je! Mmekuja wenye panga na marungu kama kukamata mnyang'anyi?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
Kila siku nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi hekaluni hamkuninyoshea mikono, lakini hii ndiyo saa yenu, na mamlaka ya giza.
Peter's Denial
54 Then took they him, and led him , and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
Wakamkamata, wakamchukua, wakaenda naye nyumbani kwa Kuhani Mkuu. Na Petro alimfuata kwa mbali.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
Na walipokwisha washa moto katikati ya kiwanja, waliketi pamoja, naye Petro akaketi kati yao.
56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
Ndipo mjakazi mmoja akamwona ameketi mwangani, akamkazia macho akasema, Na huyu alikuwa pamoja naye.
57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
Akakana, akisema, Ee mwanamke, simjui.
58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
Baadaye kitambo mtu mwingine alimwona akasema, Wewe nawe u mmoja wao. Petro akasema, Ee mtu, si mimi.
59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilæan.
Halafu, yapata saa moja, mtu mwingine alikaza kusema, Hakika na huyu alikuwa pamoja naye, kwa kuwa yeye pia ni Mgalilaya.
60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
Petro akasema, Ee mtu, sijui usemalo. Na papo hapo alipokuwa katika kusema, jogoo aliwika.
61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Bwana akageuka akamtazama Petro. Petro akalikumbuka lile neno la Bwana jinsi alivyomwambia, Leo kabla hajawika jogoo utanikana mara tatu.
62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Akatoka nje akalia kwa majonzi.
63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him .
Na wale watu waliokuwa wakimshika Yesu walimfanyia dhihaka, wakampiga.
64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
Wakamfunika macho, kisha wakamwuliza-uliza wakisema, Tabiri, ni nani aliyekupiga?
65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
Wakamtolea na maneno mengine mengi ya kumtukana.
Early Morning Trial
66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
Hata kulipokucha, walikutanika jamii ya wazee, na wakuu wa makuhani, na waandishi, wakamleta katika baraza yao, wakisema,
67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
Kama wewe ndiwe Kristo, tuambie. Akawaambia, Nijapowaambia, hamtasadiki kabisa.
68 and if I also ask you , ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
Tena, nikiwauliza, hamtajibu.
69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Lakini tangu sasa Mwana wa Adamu atakuwa ameketi upande wa kuume wa Mungu Mwenyezi.
70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
Wakasema wote, Basi, wewe ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu? Akawaambia, Ninyi mwasema kwamba mimi ndiye.
71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
Wakasema, Basi, tuna haja gani tena ya ushuhuda? Maana, sisi wenyewe tumesikia maneno ya kinywa chake.
