1Then therefore, Pilate took Jesus, and scourged him.
1Basi, Pilato akaamuru Yesu achukuliwe, apigwe viboko.
2And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple garment.
2Nao askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamtia kichwani, wakamvika na joho la rangi ya zambarau.
3And they came to him, and said: Hail, king of the Jews; and they gave him blows.
3Wakawa wanakuja mbele yake na kusema: “Shikamoo, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Wakampiga makofi.
4Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him.
4Pilato akatoka tena nje, akawaambia, “Tazameni, namleta nje kwenu, mpate kujua kwamba mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake.”
5(Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man.
5Basi, Yesu akatoka nje amevaa taji ya miiba na joho la rangi ya zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni! Mtu mwenyewe ni huyo.”
6When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants, had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him.
6Makuhani wakuu na walinzi walipomwona wakapaaza sauti: “Msulubishe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni basi, ninyi wenyewe mkamsulubishe, kwa maana mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake.”
7The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
7Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi tunayo Sheria, na kufuatana na Sheria hiyo, ni lazima afe, kwa sababu alijifanya kuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
8When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more.
8Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akazidi kuogopa.
9And he entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
9Basi, akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwuliza Yesu, “Umetoka wapi wewe?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno.
10Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?
10Hivyo Pilato akamwambia, “Husemi nami? Je, hujui kwamba ninayo mamlaka ya kukufungua na mamlaka ya kukusulubisha?”
11Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee, hath the greater sin.
11Yesu akamjibu, “Hungekuwa na mamlaka yoyote juu yangu kama hungepewa na Mungu. Kwa sababu hiyo, yule aliyenikabidhi kwako ana dhambi kubwa zaidi.”
12And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.
12Tangu hapo, Pilato akawa anatafuta njia ya kumwachilia, lakini Wayahudi wakapiga kelele: “Ukimwachilia huyu mtu, wewe si rafiki yake Kaisari; kila mtu anayejifanya kuwa Mfalme humpinga Kaisari!”
13Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.
13Basi, Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akamleta Yesu nje, akaketi juu ya kiti cha hukumu, mahali paitwapo: “Sakafu ya Mawe” (kwa Kiebrania, Gabatha).
14And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king.
14Ilikuwa yapata saa sita mchana, siku ya maandalio ya Pasaka. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Tazameni, Mfalme wenu!”
15But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
15Wao wakapaaza sauti: “Mwondoe! Mwondoe! Msulubishe!” Makuhani wakuu wakajibu, “Sisi hatuna Mfalme isipokuwa Kaisari!”
16Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.
16Basi, hapo Pilato akamtia Yesu mikononi mwao ili asulubiwe. Basi, wakamchukua Yesu.
17And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.
17Naye akatoka akiwa amejichukulia msalaba wake kwenda mahali paitwapo “Fuvu la Kichwa”, (kwa Kiebrania Golgotha).
18Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
18Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha, na pamoja naye waliwasulubisha watu wengine wawili; mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine upande wake wa kushoto, naye Yesu katikati.
19And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
19Pilato aliandika ilani akaiweka juu ya msalaba. Nayo ilikuwa imeandikwa hivi: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
20This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
20Wayahudi wengi waliisoma ilani hiyo, maana mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji. Tena ilani hiyo ilikuwa imeandikwa kwa Kiebrania, Kilatini, na Kigiriki.
21Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am the King of the Jews.
21Basi, makuhani wakuu wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike: Mfalme wa Wayahudi, ila Yeye alisema, Mimi ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
22Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.
22Pilato akajibu, “Niliyoandika, nimeandika!”
23The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part,) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
23Askari walipokwisha msulubisha Yesu, walizichukua nguo zake, wakazigawa mafungu manne, fungu moja kwa kila askari. Walichukua pia na kanzu yake; kanzu hiyo ilikuwa imefumwa kwa kipande kimoja tu, bila mshono.
24They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lot. And the soldiers indeed did these things.
24Basi, hao askari wakashauriana: “Tusiipasue, ila tuipigie kura itakuwa ya nani.” Jambo hilo lilifanyika ili yatimie Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo: “Waligawana mavazi yangu, na nguo yangu wakaipigia kura.” Basi, ndivyo walivyofanya hao askari.
25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
25Karibu na msalaba wake Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada ya mama yake, Maria mke wa Kleopa, na Maria Magdalene.
26When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
26Yesu alipomwona mama yake, na karibu naye amesimama yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda, akamwambia mama yake: “Mama! Tazama, huyo ndiye mwanao.”
27After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
27Halafu akamwambia yule mwanafunzi: “Tazama, huyo ndiye mama yako.” Na tangu saa ile huyo mwanafunzi alimchukua akae nyumbani kwake.
28Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.
28Yesu alijua kwamba yote yalikuwa yametimia; na, ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia, akasema, “Naona kiu.”
29Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put it to his mouth.
29Hapo palikuwa na bakuli limejaa siki. Basi, wakachovya sifongo katika hiyo siki, wakaitia juu ya ufito wa husopo, wakamwekea mdomoni.
30Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.
30Yesu alipokwisha pokea hiyo siki, akasema, “Yametimia!” Kisha akainama kichwa, akatoa roho.
31Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
31Ilikuwa Ijumaa, siku ya Maandalio. Kwa hiyo, kusudi miili isikae msalabani siku ya Sabato, maana siku hiyo ya Sabato ilikuwa siku kubwa, Wayahudi walimwomba Pilato miguu ya hao waliosulubiwa ivunjwe na miili yao iondolewe.
32The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
32Basi, askari walikwenda, wakaivunja miguu ya yule mtu wa kwanza na yule wa pili ambao walikuwa wamesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu.
33But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
33Lakini walipomfikia Yesu waliona kwamba alikwisha kufa, na hivyo hawakumvunja miguu.
34But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
34Lakini askari mmoja alimtoboa ubavuni kwa mkuki, na mara ikatoka damu na maji.
35And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.
35(Naye aliyeona tukio hilo ametoa habari zake ili nanyi mpate kuamini. Na hayo aliyosema ni ukweli, tena yeye anajua kwamba anasema ukweli.)
36For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.
36Jambo hilo lilitendwa ili Maandiko Matakatifu yatimie: “Hapana hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
37And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
37Tena Maandiko mengine yanasema: “Watamtazama yule waliyemtoboa.”
38And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
38Baada ya hayo, Yosefu, mwenyeji wa Armathaya, alimwomba Pilato ruhusa ya kuuchukua mwili wa Yesu. (Yosefu alikuwa mfuasi wa Yesu, lakini kwa siri, maana aliwaogopa viongozi wa Wayahudi). Basi, Pilato akamruhusu. Hivyo Yosefu alikwenda, akauondoa mwili wa Yesu.
39And Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
39Naye Nikodemo ambaye hapo awali alikuwa amemwendea Yesu usiku, akaja akiwa amechukua mchanganyiko wa manemane na ubani kiasi cha kilo thelathini.
40They took therefore the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
40Basi, waliutwaa mwili wa Yesu, wakaufunga sanda pamoja na manukato kufuatana na desturi ya Wayahudi katika kuzika.
41Now there was in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.
41Mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa na bustani, na katika bustani hiyo kulikuwa na kaburi jipya ambalo hakutiwa bado mtu yeyote ndani yake.
42There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
42Basi, kwa sababu ya shughuli za Wayahudi za maandalio ya Sabato, na kwa vile kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamweka Yesu humo.
