1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
Na ilipokuwa asubuhi, wakuu wa makuhani wote na wazee wa watu wakafanya shauri juu ya Yesu, wapate kumwua;
2 and when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
wakamfunga, wakamchukua, wakampeleka kwa Pilato aliyekuwa liwali.
3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Kisha Yuda, yule mwenye kumsaliti, alipoona ya kuwa amekwisha kuhukumiwa, alijuta, akawarudishia wakuu wa makuhani na wazee vile vipande thelathini vya fedha, akasema, Nalikosa nilipoisaliti damu isiyo na hatia.
4 saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that .
Wakasema, Basi, haya yatupasani sisi? Yaangalie haya wewe mwenyewe.
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Akavitupa vile vipande vya fedha katika hekalu, akaondoka; akaenda, akajinyonga.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
Wakuu wa makuhani wakavitwaa vile vipande vya fedha, wakasema, Si halali kuviweka katika sanduku ya sadaka, kwa kuwa ni kima cha damu.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
Wakafanya shauri, wakavitumia kwa kununua konde la mfinyanzi liwe mahali pa kuzika wageni.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
Kwa hiyo konde lile huitwa konde la damu hata leo.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
Ndipo likatimia neno lililonenwa na nabii Yeremia, akisema, Wakavitwaa vipande thelathini vya fedha, kima chake aliyetiwa kima, ambaye baadhi ya Waisraeli walimtia kima;
10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
wakavitumia kwa kununua konde la mfinyanzi, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza.
Jesus Before Pilate
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
Naye Yesu akasimama mbele ya liwali; liwali akamwuliza, akasema, Wewe ndiwe mfalme wa Wayahudi? Yesu akamwambia, Wewe wasema.
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Lakini aliposhitakiwa na wakuu wa makuhani na wazee, hakujibu hata neno.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
Ndipo Pilato akamwambia, Husikii ni mambo mangapi wanayokushuhudia?
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
Asimjibu hata neno moja, hata liwali akastaajabu sana.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Basi wakati wa siku kuu, liwali desturi yake huwafungulia mkutano mfungwa mmoja waliyemtaka.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Basi palikuwa na mfungwa mashuhuri siku zile, aitwaye Baraba.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
Basi walipokutanika, Pilato akawaambia, Mnataka niwafungulie yupi? Yule Baraba, au Yesu aitwaye Kristo?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Kwa maana alijua ya kuwa wamemtoa kwa husuda.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Na alipokuwa ameketi juu ya kiti cha hukumu, mkewe alimpelekea mjumbe, kumwambia, Usiwe na neno na yule mwenye haki; kwa sababu nimeteswa mengi leo katika ndoto kwa ajili yake.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Nao wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wakawashawishi makutano ili wamtake Baraba, na kumwangamiza Yesu.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Basi liwali akajibu, akawaambia, Mnataka niwafungulie yupi katika hawa wawili? Wakasema, Baraba.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Pilato akawaambia, Basi, nimtendeje Yesu aitwaye Kristo? Wakasema wote, Asulibiwe.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Akasema, Kwani? Ni ubaya gani alioutenda? Wakazidi sana kupiga kelele, wakisema, Na asulibiwe.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it .
Basi Pilato alipoona ya kuwa hafai lo lote, bali ghasia inazidi tu, akatwaa maji, akanawa mikono yake mbele ya mkutano, akasema, Mimi sina hatia katika damu ya mtu huyu mwenye haki; yaangalieni haya ninyi wenyewe.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Watu wote wakajibu wakasema, Damu yake na iwe juu yetu, na juu ya watoto wetu.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Ndipo akawafungulia Baraba; na baada ya kumpiga Yesu mijeledi, akamtoa ili asulibiwe.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers .
Ndipo askari wa liwali wakamchukua Yesu ndani ya Praitorio, wakamkusanyikia kikosi kizima.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Wakamvua nguo, wakamvika vazi jekundu.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakaiweka juu ya kichwa chake, na mwanzi katika mkono wake wa kuume; wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakamdhihaki, wakisema, Salamu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
Kisha wakamtemea mate, wakautwaa ule mwanzi, wakampiga-piga kichwani.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him .
Walipokwisha kumdhihaki, wakalivua lile vazi, wakamvika mavazi yake, wakamchukua kumsulibisha.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Hata walipokuwa wakitoka, wakamwona mtu Mkirene, jina lake Simoni; huyu wakamshurutisha auchukue msalaba wake.
The Crucifixion
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Na walipofika mahali paitwapo Golgotha, yaani, Fuvu la kichwa,
34 they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof , he would not drink.
wakampa kunywa divai iliyochanganyika na nyongo; lakini yeye alipoionja hakutaka kunywa.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
Walipokwisha kumsulibisha, waligawa mavazi yake, wakipiga kura; [ili litimie neno lililonenwa na nabii, Waligawa nguo zangu kati yao, na juu ya vazi langu walipiga kura.]
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
Wakaketi, wakamlinda huko.
37 and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Wakaweka juu ya kichwa chake mashitaka yake, yaliyoandikwa HUYU NI YESU, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
Wakati uo huo wanyang'anyi wawili wakasulibiwa pamoja naye, mmoja mkono wake wa kuume, na mmoja mkono wake wa kushoto.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
Nao waliokuwa wakipita njiani wakamtukana, wakitikisa-tikisa vichwa vyao, wakisema,
40 and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
Ewe mwenye kulivunja hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu, jiokoe nafsi yako; ukiwa ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu, shuka msalabani.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said,
Kadhalika na wale wakuu wa makuhani wakamdhihaki pamoja na waandishi na wazee, wakisema, Aliokoa wengine, hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe.
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
Yeye ni mfalme wa Israeli; na ashuke sasa msalabani, nasi tutamwamini.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Amemtegemea Mungu; na amwokoe sasa, kama anamtaka; kwa maana alisema, Mimi ni Mwana wa Mungu.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
Pia wale wanyang'anyi waliosulibiwa pamoja naye walimshutumu vile vile.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Basi tangu saa sita palikuwa na giza juu ya nchi yote hata saa tisa.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Na kama saa tisa, Yesu akapaza sauti yake kwa nguvu akisema, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani? Yaani, Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that , said, This man calleth for Elias.
Na baadhi yao waliohudhuria, waliposikia, walisema, Huyu anamwita Eliya.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Mara mmoja wao akaenda mbio, akatwaa sifongo, akaijaza siki, akaitia juu ya mwanzi, akamnywesha.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Wale wengine wakasema, Acha; na tuone kama Eliya anakuja kumwokoa.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Naye Yesu akiisha kupaza sauti tena kwa nguvu, akaitoa roho yake.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Na tazama, pazia la hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili toka juu hata chini; nchi ikatetemeka; miamba ikapasuka;
52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
makaburi yakafunuka; ikainuka miili mingi ya watakatifu waliolala;
53 and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
nao wakiisha kutoka makaburini mwao, baada ya kufufuka kwake, wakauingia mji mtakatifu, wakawatokea wengi.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Basi yule akida, na hao waliokuwa pamoja naye wakimlinda Yesu, walipoliona tetemeko la nchi na mambo yaliyofanyika, wakaogopa sana, wakisema, Hakika huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
Palikuwa na wanawake wengi pale wakitazama kwa mbali, hao ndio waliomfuata Yesu toka Galilaya, na kumtumikia.
56 among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
Miongoni mwao alikuwamo Mariamu Magdalene, na Mariamu mama yao Yakobo na Yusufu, na mama yao wana wa Zebedayo.
The Burial
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
Hata ilipokuwa jioni akafika mtu tajiri wa Arimathaya, jina lake Yusufu, naye mwenyewe alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu;
58 he went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
mtu huyu alimwendea Pilato akauomba mwili wa Yesu. Ndipo Pilato akaamuru apewe.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Yusufu akautwaa mwili, akauzonga-zonga katika sanda ya kitani safi,
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
akauweka katika kaburi lake jipya, alilokuwa amelichonga mwambani; akavingirisha jiwe kubwa mbele ya mlango wa kaburi, akaenda zake.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Na pale walikuwapo Mariamu Magdalene, na Mariamu yule wa pili, wameketi kulielekea kaburi.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
Hata siku ya pili, ndiyo iliyo baada ya Maandalio, wakuu wa makuhani, na Mafarisayo wakamkusanyikia Pilato,
63 saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
wakasema, Bwana, tumekumbuka kwamba yule mjanja alisema, alipokuwa akali hai, Baada ya siku tatu nitafufuka.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
Basi amuru kwamba kaburi lilindwe salama hata siku ya tatu; wasije wanafunzi wake wakamwiba, na kuwaambia watu, Amefufuka katika wafu; na udanganyifu wa mwisho utapita ule wa kwanza.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Pilato akawaambia, Mna askari; nendeni mkalilinde salama kadiri mjuavyo.
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Wakaenda, wakalilinda kaburi salama, kwa kulitia lile jiwe muhuri, pamoja na wale askari walinzi.
