1Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.
1Kisha, wote kwa jumla, wakasimama, wakampeleka Yesu mbele ya Pilato.
2And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”
2Wakaanza kumshtaki wakisema: “Tulimkuta mtu huyu akiwapotosha watu wetu, akipinga kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari na kujiita ati yeye ni Kristo, Mfalme.”
3So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3Pilato akamwuliza Yesu, “Wewe ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akamjibu, “Wewe umesema.”
4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
4Pilato akawaambia makuhani wakuu na umati wa watu, “Sioni kosa lolote katika mtu huyu.”
5But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
5Lakini wao wakasisitiza wakisema: “Anawachochea watu kwa mafundisho yake katika nchi yote ya Yudea; alianza Galilaya, na sasa yuko hapa.”
6When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
6Pilato aliposikia hayo, akauliza, “Je, mtu huyu ni mwenyeji wa Galilaya?”
7And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.
7Alipojua kwamba Yesu alikuwa chini ya utawala wa Herode, akampeleka kwa Herode, ambaye wakati huo alikuwa Yerusalemu.
8When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.
8Herode alifurahi sana alipomwona Yesu. Alikuwa amekwisha sikia habari zake, na hivyo alikuwa anatazamia kwa muda mrefu kumwona kwa macho yake mwenyewe. Zaidi ya hayo, alikuwa anatumaini kumwona Yesu akitenda mwujiza.
9Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.
9Basi, akamwuliza maswali mengi kwa muda mrefu, lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno.
10Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.
10Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria wakajitokeza mbele, wakatoa mashtaka yao kwa nguvu sana.
11And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
11Basi, herode pamoja na maaskari wake, wakamwaibisha Yesu na kumfanyia mzaha; kisha wakamvika vazi la kifalme, wakamrudisha kwa Pilato.
12That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
12Herode na Pilato, ambao hapo awali walikuwa maadui, tangu siku hiyo wakawa marafiki.
13Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
13Basi, Pilato akaitisha mkutano wa makuhani wakuu, viongozi na watu,
14and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
14akawaambia, “Mmemleta mtu huyu kwangu mkisema kwamba alikuwa anawapotosha watu. Sasa sikilizeni! Baada ya kuchunguza jambo hilo mbele yenu, sikumpata na kosa lolote kuhusu mashtaka yenu juu yake.
15Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
15Wala si mimi tu, bali hata Herode hakuona kosa lolote, kwa maana amemrudisha kwangu. Ni dhahiri kwamba mtu huyu hakufanya chochote kinachostahili adhabu ya kifo.
16Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
16Hivyo, nitaamuru apigwe viboko, halafu nitamwachilia.”
no verse 17 in this text
17Kila sikukuu ya Pasaka, ilimlazimu Pilato kuwafungulia mfungwa mmoja.
18But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
18Lakini wote wakapiga kelele pamoja: “Mwondoe huyo, utufungulie Baraba!”
19(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
19(Baraba alikuwa ametiwa ndani kwa kusababisha uasi katika mji na pia kwa sababu ya kuua.)
20Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
20Pilato alitaka kumwachilia Yesu, hivyo akasema nao tena;
21but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
21lakini wao wakapiga kelele: “Msulubishe, msulubishe!”
22A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
22Pilato akawaambia mara ya tatu, “Amefanya kosa gani? Sioni kosa lolote kwake linalomstahili auawe; kwa hiyo nitampiga viboko, halafu nimwachilie.”
23But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.
23Lakini wao wakazidi kupiga kelele kwa nguvu sana, kwamba Yesu ni lazima asulubiwe. Mwishowe, sauti zao zikashinda.
24So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.
24Basi, Pilato akaamua kwamba matakwa yao yatimizwe.
25As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.
25Akamfungua kutoka gerezani yule waliyemtaka, ambaye alikuwa ametiwa gerezani kwa sababu ya uasi na kuua; akamtoa Yesu kwao, wamfanyie walivyotaka.
26As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.
26Walipokuwa wakimpeleka, walikutana na mtu mmoja, aitwaye Simoni wa Kurene, aliyekuwa anatoka shambani. Basi, walimkamata, wakamtwika ule msalaba auchukue nyuma ya Yesu.
27A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
27Watu, umati kwa umati, walimfuata; miongoni mwao wakiwemo wanawake waliokuwa wanaomboleza na kumlilia.
28But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
28Yesu akawageukia, akasema, “Enyi kina mama wa Yerusalemu! Msinililie mimi, ila lieni kwa ajili yenu wenyewe na kwa ajili ya watoto wenu.
29Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
29Maana, hakika siku zitakuja ambapo watasema: Heri yao wale walio tasa, ambao hawakupata kuzaa wala kunyonyesha watoto!
30At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
30Wakati huo, ndipo watu wataanza kuiambia milima: Tuangukieni! na vilima, Tufunikeni!
31For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
31Kwa maana, kama watu wanautendea mti mbichi namna hiyo, itakuwaje kwa mti mkavu?”
32Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
32Waliwachukua pia watu wengine wawili, wahalifu, wauawe pamoja naye.
33When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.
33Walipofika mahali paitwapo, “Fuvu la Kichwa,” ndipo wakamsulubisha Yesu pamoja na wale wahalifu wawili, mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine upande wake wa kushoto.
34Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.
34Yesu akasema, “Baba, uwasamehe kwa maana hawajui wanalofanya.” Kisha wakagawana mavazi yake kwa kuyapigia kura.
35The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
35Watu wakawa wamesimama pale wakitazama. Nao viongozi wakamdhihaki wakisema: “Amewaokoa wengine; sasa na ajiokoe mwenyewe, kama yeye ndiye Kristo, mteule wa Mungu!”
36The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.
36Askari nao walimdhihaki pia; walimwendea wakampa siki
37“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
37wakisema: “Kama kweli wewe ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi, jiokoe mwenyewe.”
38Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38Vilevile maandishi haya yalikuwa yameandikwa na kuwekwa juu yake: “Huyu ndiye Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
39One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”
39Mmoja wa wale wahalifu waliotundikwa msalabani, alimtukana akisema: “Je, si kweli kwamba wewe ndiwe Kristo? Basi, jiokoe mwenyewe, utuokoe na sisi pia.”
40But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
40Lakini yule mhalifu mwingine akamkemea mwenzake akisema: “Wewe humwogopi Mungu hata kidogo? Wewe umepata adhabu hiyohiyo.
41We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
41Wewe na mimi tunastahili, maana haya ni malipo ya yale tuliyotenda. Lakini mtu huyu hakufanya chochote kibaya.”
42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
42Kisha akasema, “Ee Yesu! Unikumbuke wakati utakapoingia katika ufalme wako.”
43And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
43Yesu akamwambia, “Nakwambia kwa hakika, leo utakuwa pamoja nami peponi.”
44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
44Ilikuwa yapata saa sita mchana; jua likaacha kuangaza, giza likafunika nchi yote mpaka saa tisa,
45The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
45na pazia lililokuwa limetundikwa Hekaluni likapasuka vipande viwili.
46Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
46Yesu akalia kwa sauti kubwa: “Baba, naiweka roho yangu mikononi mwako.” Alipokwisha sema hayo, akakata roho.
47When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
47Hapo, yule jemadari alipoona yaliyotukia akamsifu Mungu akisema: “Hakika huyu alikuwa mtu mwema.”
48And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.
48Watu wale wote waliokuwa wamekusanyika hapo kwa ajili ya tukio hilo, walipoona hayo yaliyotukia, walirudi makwao wakijipiga vifua kwa huzuni.
49But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.
49Marafiki zake wote pamoja na wale wanawake walioandamana naye kutoka Galilaya, walisimama kwa mbali kutazama tukio hilo.
50Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,
50Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja jina lake Yosefu, mwenyeji wa kijiji kimoja cha Wayahudi kiitwacho Armathaya. Alikuwa mtu mwema anayeheshimika;
51who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was waiting for the kingdom of God.
51Alikuwa akitazamia kuja kwa Ufalme wa Mungu. Ingawa alikuwa mmoja wa Baraza kuu la Wayahudi, hakuwa amekubaliana nao katika kitendo chao.
52He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.
52Basi, yeye alikwenda kwa Pilato, akaomba apewe mwili wa Yesu.
53Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.
53Kisha, akaushusha mwili huo kutoka msalabani, akauzungushia sanda ya kitani, akauweka katika kaburi lililokuwa limechongwa kwenye mwamba, ambalo halikuwa limetumika.
54It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.
54Siku hiyo ilikuwa Ijumaa, na maandalio ya siku ya Sabato yalikuwa yanaanza.
55The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
55Wale wanawake walioandamana na Yesu kutoka Galilaya walimfuata Yosefu, wakaliona lile kaburi na jinsi mwili wake Yesu ulivyowekwa
56Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
56Halafu, walirudi nyumbani, wakatayarisha manukato na marashi kuyapaka mwili wa Yesu. Siku ya Sabato walipumzika kama ilivyoamriwa na sheria.
