Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
Yesu alipomaliza kusema hayo yote, aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,
2 Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
“Mnajua kwamba baada ya siku mbili tutakuwa na sikukuu ya Pasaka, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa ili asulubiwe.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,
Wakati huo makuhani wakuu na wazee wa watu walikutana pamoja katika ukumbi wa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu.
4 and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;
Wakashauriana jinsi ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.
5 but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people.
Lakini wakaamua jambo hilo lisifanyike wakati wa sikukuu, kusije kukatokea ghasia kati ya watu.
6 But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,
Yesu alipokuwa Bethania, nyumbani kwa Simoni, aitwaye Mkoma,
7 a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.
mama mmoja aliyekuwa na chupa ya alabasta yenye marashi ya thamani kubwa, alimjia pale mezani alipokuwa amekaa kula chakula, akammiminia hayo marashi kichwani.
8 But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end [was] this waste?
Wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakakasirika, wakasema, “Ya nini hasara hii?
9 for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.
Marashi haya yangaliweza kuuzwa kwa bei kubwa, maskini wakapewa hizo fedha.”
10 But Jesus knowing [it] said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.
Yesu alitambua mawazo yao, akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mama? Yeye amenitendea jambo jema.
11 For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
Maskini mnao daima pamoja nanyi, lakini mimi sitakuwapo pamoja nanyi daima.
12 For in pouring out this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burying.
Huyu mama amenimiminia marashi ili kunitayarisha kwa maziko.
13 Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this [woman] has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Nawaambieni kweli, popote ambapo hii Habari Njema itahubiriwa ulimwenguni, kitendo hiki alichofanya mama huyu kitatajwa kwa kumkumbuka yeye.”
14 Then one of the twelve, he who was called Judas Iscariote, went to the chief priests
Kisha, Yuda Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, akaenda kwa makuhani wakuu,
15 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.
akawaambia, “Mtanipa kitu gani kama nikimkabidhi Yesu kwenu?” Wakamhesabia sarafu thelathini za fedha;
16 And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.
na tangu wakati huo Yuda akawa anatafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti.
17 Now on the first [day] of [the feast of] unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Siku ya kwanza kabla ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, wanafunzi walimwendea Yesu wakamwuliza, “Unataka tukuandalie wapi chakula cha Pasaka?”
18 And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples.
Yeye akawajibu, “Nendeni mjini kwa mtu fulani, mkamwambie: Mwalimu anasema, wakati wangu umefika; kwako nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu.”
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.
Wanafunzi wakafanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, wakaandaa Pasaka.
20 And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve.
Kulipokuwa jioni, Yesu akakaa mezani pamoja na wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
21 And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.
Walipokuwa wakila, Yesu akasema, “Nawaambieni kweli, mmoja wenu atanisaliti.”
22 And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it I, Lord?
Wanafunzi wakahuzunika sana, wakaanza kuuliza mmojammoja, “Bwana! Je, ni mimi?”
23 But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he it is who shall deliver me up.
Yesu akajibu, “Atakayechovya mkate pamoja nami katika bakuli ndiye atakayenisaliti.
24 The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.
Naam, Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda zake kama Maandiko Matakatifu yasemavyo, lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayemsaliti Mwana wa Mtu! Ingalikuwa afadhali kwa mtu huyo kama hangalizaliwa.”
25 And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it I, Rabbi? He says to him, Thou hast said.
Yuda, ambaye ndiye aliyetaka kumsaliti, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu! Je, ni mimi?” Yesu akamjibu, “Wewe umesema.”
26 And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken [the] bread and blessed, broke [it] and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa wanafunzi wake akisema, “Twaeni mle; huu ni mwili wangu.”
27 And having taken [the] cup and given thanks, he gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it.
Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akamshukuru Mungu, akawapa akisema, “Nyweni nyote;
28 For this is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins.
maana hii ni damu yangu inayothibitisha agano, damu inayomwagwa kwa ajili ya watu wengi ili kuwaondolea dhambi.
29 But I say to you, that I will not at all drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.
Nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapoinywa mpya pamoja nanyi katika Ufalme wa Baba yangu.”
30 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
Baada ya kuimba wimbo, wakaondoka, wakaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni.
31 Then saith Jesus to them, All ye shall be offended in me during this night. For it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Usiku huu wa leo, ninyi nyote mtakuwa na mashaka nami, maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: Nitampiga mchungaji, na kondoo wa kundi watatawanyika.
32 But after that I shall be risen, I will go before you to Galilee.
Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulieni Galilaya.”
33 And Peter answering said to him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
Petro akamwambia Yesu “Hata kama wote watakuwa na mashaka nawe na kukuacha, mimi sitakuacha kamwe.”
34 Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before [the] cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Yesu akamwambia, “Kweli nakwambia, usiku huu kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
35 Peter says to him, If I should needs die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. Likewise said all the disciples also.
Petro akamwambia, “Hata kama ni lazima nife pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Wale wanafunzi wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
36 Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here until I go away and pray yonder.
Kisha Yesu akaenda pamoja nao bustanini Gethsemane, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa nami niende pale mbele kusali.”
37 And taking with [him] Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and deeply depressed.
Akawachukua Petro na wana wawili wa Zebedayo, akaanza kuwa na huzuni na mahangaiko.
38 Then he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful even unto death; remain here and watch with me.
Hapo akawaambia, “Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe pamoja nami.”
39 And going forward a little he fell upon his face, praying and saying, My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
Basi, akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akasali: “Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, aacha kikombe hiki cha mateso kinipite; lakini isiwe nitakavyo mimi, ila utakavyo wewe.”
40 And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?
Akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Ndiyo kusema hamkuweza kukesha pamoja nami hata saa moja?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] ready, but the flesh weak.
Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho i tayari lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
42 Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass [from me] unless I drink it, thy will be done.
Akaenda tena mara ya pili akasali: “Baba yangu, kama haiwezekani kikombe hiki kinipite bila mimi kukinywa, basi, mapenzi yako yafanyike.”
43 And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Akawaendea tena, akawakuta wamelala, maana macho yao yalikuwa yamebanwa na usingizi.
44 And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
Basi, akawaacha, akaenda tena kusali mara ya tatu kwa maneno yaleyale.
45 Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Kisha akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawaambia, “Je, mngali mmelala na kupumzika? Tazameni! Saa yenyewe imefika, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa kwa watu wenye dhambi.
46 Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
Amkeni, twendeni zetu. Tazameni! Anakuja yule atakayenisaliti.”
47 And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Basi, Yesu alipokuwa bado anasema nao, mara akaja Yuda, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili. Pamoja naye walikuja watu wengi wenye mapanga na marungu ambao walitumwa na makuhani wakuu na wazee wa watu.
48 Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.
Huyo aliyetaka kumsaliti Yesu, alikuwa amekwisha wapa ishara akisema: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye; mkamateni.”
49 And immediately coming up to Jesus he said, Hail, Rabbi, and covered him with kisses.
Basi, Yuda akamkaribia Yesu, akamwambia, “Shikamoo, Mwalimu!” Kisha akambusu.
50 But Jesus said to him, [My] friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.
Yesu akamwambia, “Rafiki, fanya ulichokuja kufanya.” Hapo wale watu wakaja, wakamkamata Yesu, wakamtia nguvuni.
51 And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.
Mmoja wa wale waliokuwa pamoja na Yesu akanyosha mkono, akauchomoa upanga wake, akampiga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio.
52 Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.
Hapo Yesu akamwambia, “Rudisha upanga wako alani, maana yeyote anayeutumia upanga, atakufa kwa upanga.
53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?
Je, hamjui kwamba ningeweza kumwomba Baba yangu naye mara angeniletea zaidi ya majeshi kumi na mawili ya malaika?
54 How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
Lakini yatatimiaje Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo kwamba ndivyo inavyopaswa kuwa?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily [with you] teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.
Wakati huohuo Yesu akauambia huo umati wa watu waliokuja kumtia nguvuni, “Je, mmekuja kunikamata kwa mapanga na marungu kama kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi? Kila siku nilikuwa Hekaluni nikifundisha, na hamkunikamata!
56 But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Lakini haya yote yametendeka ili Maandiko ya manabii yatimie.” Kisha wanafunzi wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
57 Now they that had seized Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Basi, hao watu waliomkamata Yesu walimpeleka nyumbani kwa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu, walikokusanyika walimu wa Sheria na wazee.
58 And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end.
Petro alimfuata kwa mbali mpaka uani kwa Kuhani Mkuu, akaingia ndani pamoja na walinzi ili apate kuona mambo yatakavyokuwa.
59 And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.
Basi, makuhani wakuu na Baraza lote wakatafuta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi ya Yesu wapate kumwua,
60 And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward
lakini hawakupata ushahidi wowote, ingawa walikuja mashahidi wengi wa uongo. Mwishowe wakaja mashahidi wawili,
61 and said, He said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.
wakasema, “Mtu huyu alisema: Ninaweza kuliharibu Hekalu la Mungu na kulijenga tena kwa siku tatu.”
62 And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?
Kuhani Mkuu akasimama, akamwuliza Yesu, “Je, hujibu neno? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?”
63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if thou art the Christ the Son of God.
Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya. Kuhani Mkuu akamwambia, “Nakuapisha kwa Mungu aliye hai, twambie kama wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu!”
64 Jesus says to him, Thou hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
Yesu akamwambia, “Wewe umesema! Lakini nawaambieni, tangu sasa mtamwona Mwana wa Mtu ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mwenyezi, akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni.”
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.
Hapo, Kuhani Mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, “Amekufuru! Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi? Sasa mmesikia kufuru yake.
66 What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.
Ninyi mwaonaje?” Wao wakamjibu, “Anastahili kufa!”
67 Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,
Kisha wakamtemea mate usoni, wakampiga makofi. Wengine wakiwa wanampiga makofi,
68 saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?
wakasema, “Haya Kristo, tutabirie; ni nani amekupiga!”
69 But Peter sat without in the palace-court; and a maid came to him, saying, And thou wast with Jesus the Galilaean.
Petro alikuwa ameketi nje uani. Basi, mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamwendea, akasema, “Wewe ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Galilaya.”
70 But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what thou sayest.
Petro akakana mbele ya wote akisema, “Sijui hata unasema nini.”
71 And when he had gone out into the entrance, another [maid] saw him, and says to those there, This [man] also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.
Alipokuwa akitoka mlangoni, mtumishi mwingine wa kike akamwona, akawaambia wale waliokuwa pale, “Mtu huyu alikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Nazareti.”
72 And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.
Petro akakana tena kwa kiapo: “Simjui mtu huyo.”
73 And after a little, those who stood [there], coming to [him], said to Peter, Truly thou too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.
Baadaye kidogo, watu waliokuwa pale wakamwendea Petro, wakamwambia, “Hakika, wewe pia ni mmoja wao, maana msemo wako unakutambulisha.”
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately [the] cock crew.
Hapo Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuapa akisema, “Simjui mtu huyo!” Mara jogoo akawika.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said [to him], Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly.
Petro akakumbuka maneno aliyoambiwa na Yesu: “Kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.” Basi, akatoka nje akalia sana.
