1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
Mara kulipokuwa asubuhi wakuu wa makuhani walifanya shauri pamoja na wazee na waandishi na baraza nzima, wakamfunga Yesu, wakamchukua, wakamleta mbele ya Pilato.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it .
Pilato akamwuliza, Wewe ndiwe mfalme wa Wayahudi? Akajibu, akamwambia, Wewe wasema.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
Nao wakuu wa makuhani walikuwa wakimshitaki mambo mengi.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
Pilato akamwuliza tena akisema, Hujibu neno? Tazama ni mambo mangapi wanayokushitaki!
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
Wala Yesu hakujibu neno tena, hata Pilato akastaajabu.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
Basi wakati wa sikukuu huwafungulia mfungwa mmoja, wamwombaye.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
Palikuwa na mtu aitwaye Baraba, amefungwa pamoja na watu waliofanya fitina, na kufanya uuaji katika fitina ile.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
Makutano wakaja, wakaanza kuomba awafanyie kama vile alivyozoea.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
Pilato akawajibu, akisema, Je! Mnataka niwafungulie mfalme wa Wayahudi?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
Kwa maana alitambua ya kuwa wakuu wa makuhani wamemtoa kwa husuda.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
Lakini wakuu wa makuhani wakawataharakisha makutano, kwamba afadhali awafungulie Baraba.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
Pilato akajibu tena akawaambia, Basi nimtendeje huyu mnayemnena kuwa ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
Wakapiga kelele tena, Msulibishe.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
Pilato akawaambia, Kwani, ni ubaya gani alioutenda? Wakazidi sana kupiga kelele, Msulibishe.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him , to be crucified.
Pilato akipenda kuwaridhisha makutano, akawafungulia Baraba; akamtoa Yesu, baada ya kumpiga mijeledi, ili asulibiwe.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they call together the whole band.
Nao askari wakamchukua ndani ya behewa, ndiyo Praitorio (yaani, nyumba ya uliwali), wakakusanya pamoja kikosi kizima.
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head ,
Wakamvika vazi la rangi ya zambarau, wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamtia kichwani;
18 and began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
wakaanza kumsalimu, Salamu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!
19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
Wakampiga mwanzi wa kichwa, wakamtemea mate, wakapiga magoti, wakamsujudia.
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
Hata wakiisha kumdhihaki, wakamvua lile vazi la rangi ya zambarau, wakamvika mavazi yake mwenyewe; wakamchukua nje ili wamsulibishe.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
Wakamshurutisha mtu aliyekuwa akipita, akitoka mashamba, Simoni Mkirene, baba yao Iskanda na Rufo, ili auchukue msalaba wake.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
Wakamleta mpaka mahali paitwapo Golgotha, yaani, Fuvu la kichwa.
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
Wakampa mvinyo iliyotiwa manemane, asiipokee.
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
Wakamsulibisha, wakagawa mavazi yake, wakayapigia kura kila mtu atwae nini.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Basi ilikuwa saa tatu, nao wakamsulibisha.
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Palikuwa na anwani ya mashitaka yake iliyoandikwa juu, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.
27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
Na pamoja naye walisulibisha wanyang'anyi wawili, mmoja mkono wake wa kuume na mmoja mkono wake wa kushoto. [
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
Basi andiko likatimizwa linenalo, Alihesabiwa pamoja na waasi.]
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
Nao waliokuwa wakipita njiani wakamtukana, wakitikisa-tikisa vichwa, wakisema, Ahaa! Wewe mwenye kulivunja hekalu na kulijenga katika siku tatu,
30 save thyself, and come down from the cross.
jiponye nafsi yako, ushuke msalabani.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
Kadhalika na wakuu wa makuhani wakamdhihaki wao kwa wao, pamoja na waandishi, wakisema, Aliponya wengine; hawezi kujiponya mwenyewe.
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
Kristo, mfalme wa Israeli, na ashuke sasa msalabani tupate kuona na kuamini. Hata wale waliosulibiwa pamoja naye wakamfyolea.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Na ilipokuwa saa sita, palikuwa na giza juu ya nchi yote, hata saa tisa.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Na saa tisa Yesu akapaza sauti yake kwa nguvu, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani? Maana yake, Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it , said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
Na baadhi yao waliosimama pale, walisema, Tazama, anamwita Eliya.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
Na mmoja akaenda mbio, akajaza sifongo siki, akaitia juu ya mwanzi, akamnywesha, akisema, Acheni, na tuone kwamba Eliya anakuja kumtelemsha.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
Naye Yesu akatoa sauti kuu, akakata roho.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
Pazia la hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili toka juu hata chini.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
Basi yule akida, aliyesimama hapo akimwelekea, alipoona ya kuwa alikata roho jinsi hii, akasema, Hakika mtu huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
Palikuwako na wanawake wakitazama kwa mbali; miongoni mwao alikuwamo Mariamu Magdalene, na Mariamu mama yao Yakobo mdogo na Yose, na Salome;
41 (who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
hao ndio waliofuatana naye huko Galilaya, na kumtumikia; na wengine wengi waliopanda pamoja naye mpaka Yerusalemu.
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Hata ikiisha kuwa jioni, kwa sababu ni Maandalio, ndiyo siku iliyo kabla ya sabato,
43 Joseph of Arimathæa, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
akaenda Yusufu, mtu wa Arimathaya, mstahiki, mtu wa baraza ya mashauri, naye mwenyewe anautazamia ufalme wa Mungu; akafanya ujasiri, akaingia mbele ya Pilato akauomba mwili wake Yesu.
44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
Lakini Pilato akastaajabu, kwamba amekwisha kufa. Akamwita yule akida, akamwuliza kwamba amekufa kitambo.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
Hata alipokwisha kupata hakika kwa yule akida, alimpa Yusufu yule maiti.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
Naye akanunua sanda ya kitani, akamtelemsha, akamfungia ile sanda, akamweka katika kaburi lililochongwa mwambani; akavingirisha jiwe mbele ya mlango wa kaburi.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
Nao Mariamu Magdalene na Mariamu mamaye Yose wakapatazama mahali alipowekwa.
