Luke 22
1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, also called the Passover, was approaching.
Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa chachu, iitwayo Pasaka, ilikuwa inakaribia.
2 The chief priests and religious teachers were looking for a way to kill Jesus, but were afraid of what the people would do.
Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria wakawa wanatafuta njia ya kumwua Yesu, lakini waliwaogopa watu.
3 Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples.
Basi, Shetani akamwingia Yuda aitwae Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili.
4 He went and discussed with the chief priests and guard officers how he could betray Jesus.
Yuda akaenda akajadiliana na makuhani wakuu na walinzi wa Hekalu kuhusu atakavyomsaliti Yesu kwao.
5 They were delighted, and offered him money.
Nao wakafurahi na kupatana naye kumlipa fedha.
6 He agreed, and began to look for an opportunity to hand over Jesus when a crowd would not be there.
Yuda akakubali, na akawa anatafuta nafasi nzuri ya kumkabidhi kwao bila umati wa watu kujua.
7 The Day of Unleavened Bread arrived when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
Basi, siku ya Mikate Isiyotiwa chachu ikafika. Hiyo ndiyo siku ambayo mwana kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, telling them, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”
Hivyo Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohane, akawaambia, “Nendeni mkatuandalie karamu ili tupate kula Pasaka.”
9 They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare for it?”
Nao wakamwuliza, “Unataka tuiandae wapi?”
10 He replied, “When you enter the city you'll meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him and go into the house he enters.
Akawaambia, “Sikilizeni! Mtakapokuwa mnakwenda mjini, mtakutana na mwanamume anayebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni mpaka ndani ya nyumba atakayoingia.
11 Tell the owner of the house that the Teacher asks you, ‘Where is the dining room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?’
Mwambieni mwenye nyumba: Mwalimu anakuuliza, kiko wapi kile chumba ambamo nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu?
12 He'll show you a large upstairs room that already has the necessary furniture. Prepare the meal there.”
Naye atawaonyesheni chumba kikubwa ghorofani ambacho kimepambwa. Andalieni humo.”
13 They went and found that everything was just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
Basi, wakaenda, wakakuta kila kitu sawa kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia; wakaandaa karamu ya Pasaka.
14 When the time came, he sat down at the table with his apostles. He told them,
Saa ilipotimia, Yesu akakaa kula chakula pamoja na mitume wake.
15 “I've been really looking forward to eating this Passover meal with you before my sufferings begin.
Akawaambia, “Nimetamani sana kula Pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.
16 I tell you I shall not eat it again until the time is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
Maana nawaambieni, sitaila tena hadi hapo itakapokamilika katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
17 Jesus took the cup, and after he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akashukuru akasema, “Pokeeni, mgawanye ninyi kwa ninyi.
18 I tell you that I won't drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
Kwa maana nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka Ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”
19 He picked up some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it into pieces and gave it to them. “This is my body which is given for you; do this in order to remember me,” Jesus told them.
Halafu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu, unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka.”
20 In the same way after they had finished supper, he picked up the cup and said, “This cup is the new agreement in my blood which is poured out for you.”
Akafanya vivyo hivyo na kikombe, baada ya chakula, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya linalothibitishwa kwa damu yangu inayomwagika kwa ajili yenu.
21 “In spite of this, my betrayer is sitting right here with me at the table.
“Lakini, tazameni! Yule atakayenisaliti yuko nami hapa mezani.
22 For it has been determined that the Son of man will die, yet how disastrous it will be for his betrayer!”
Kweli Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda kuuawa kama ilivyopangwa, lakini ole wake mtu anayemsaliti.”
23 They began to argue among themselves as to who this might be and who could do this.
Hapo wakaanza kuulizana wao kwa wao ni nani kati yao atakayefanya jambo hilo.
24 At the same time they also got into a quarrel about which of them was the most important.
Kulitokea ubishi kati ya hao mitume kuhusu nani miongoni mwao anayefikiriwa kuwa mkuu zaidi kuliko wengine.
25 Jesus told them, “Foreign kings lord it over their subjects, and those having power even want people to call them ‘benefactors.’
Yesu akawaambia, “Wafalme wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, nao huitwa wafadhili wa watu.
26 But it should not be so with you! Whoever is highest among you should be like the lowest, and the leader should be like a servant.
Lakini isiwe hivyo kati yenu; bali, yule aliye mkuu kati yenu ni lazima awe mdogo wa wote, na aliye kiongozi lazima awe kama mtumishi.
27 Who is greater—the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at the table? But I'm among you as the one who serves.
Kwa maana, ni nani aliye mkuu: yule anayeketi mezani kula chakula, ama yule anayetumikia? Bila shaka ni yule anayeketi mezani kula chakula! Hata hivyo, mimi niko hapa kati yenu kama mtumishi.
28 You have stayed with me throughout my trials.
“Ninyi ndio mliobaki nami wakati wote wa majaribu yangu;
29 And I grant to you authority to rule, just as my Father granted it to me,
na, kama vile Baba yangu alivyonikabidhi Ufalme, vivyo hivyo nami nitawakabidhi ninyi Ufalme.
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Mtakula na kunywa mezani pangu katika ufalme wangu, na mtaketi katika viti vya enzi kuyahukumu makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.
31 “Simon, Simon—Satan has asked to have all of you to sift like wheat,
“Simoni, Simoni! Sikiliza! Shetani alitaka kuwapepeta ninyi kama mtu anavyopepeta ngano.
32 but I have prayed for you that your trust in me may not fail. And when you have returned, encourage your brothers.”
Lakini mimi nimekuombea ili imani yako isipungue. Nawe utakaponirudia, watie moyo ndugu zako.”
33 Peter said, “Lord, I'm ready to go with you to prison, and to die with you!”
Naye Petro akamjibu, “Bwana, mimi niko tayari kwenda pamoja nawe gerezani, na hata kufa.”
34 Jesus replied, “I'm telling you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
Yesu akamjibu, “Nakwambia wewe Petro, kabla jogoo hajawika leo utakuwa umenikana mara tatu.”
35 Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without money, without a bag, and without an extra pair of sandals, did you lack anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied.
Kisha, Yesu akawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Wakati nilipowatuma bila mfuko wa fedha wala mkoba wala viatu, mlitindikiwa chochote?” Wakajibu, “La.”
36 “But now, if you have money you should take it, as well as a bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
Naye akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, yule aliye na mfuko wa fedha auchukue; na aliye na mkoba, hali kadhalika. Na yeyote asiye na upanga, auze koti lake anunue mmoja.
37 I tell you that this statement in Scripture about me must be fulfilled: ‘He was counted with the wicked.’ What was said about me is now being fulfilled.”
Maana nawaambieni, haya maneno ya Maandiko Matakatifu: Aliwekwa kundi moja na wahalifu, ni lazima yatimie. Naam, yale yanayonihusu yanafikia ukamilifu wake.”
38 “Look, Lord, here are two swords,” they said. “That's enough,” he replied.
Nao wakasema, “Bwana, tazama; hapa kuna panga mbili.” Naye akasema, “Basi!”
39 Jesus left and as usual went to the Mount of Olives together with his disciples.
Yesu akatoka, na kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake, akaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni; wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
40 When he arrived he said to them, “Pray that you don't give in to temptation.”
Alipofika huko akawaambia, “Salini, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.”
41 Then he left them and walked about a stone's throw away, where he kneeled down and prayed.
Kisha akawaacha, akaenda umbali wa mtu kuweza kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti, akasali:
42 “Father,” he prayed, “if you're willing, please take away this cup of suffering from me. But I want to do what you want, not what I want.”
“Baba, kama wapenda, ukiondoe kwangu kikombe hiki; hata hivyo, mapenzi yako yatimizwe, wala siyo yangu.”
43 Then an angel appeared from heaven to strengthen him.
Hapo, malaika kutoka mbinguni, akamtokea ili kumtia moyo.
44 In great distress Jesus prayed even harder, and his sweat fell like drops of blood onto the ground.
Akiwa katika uchungu mkubwa, alisali kwa bidii zaidi; na jasho likamtoka, kama matone ya damu, likatiririka mpaka chini.
45 He finished praying, stood up, and went over to the disciples. He found them asleep, worn out by grief.
Baada ya kusali, aliwarudia wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala, kwani walikuwa na huzuni.
46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you won't fall into temptation.”
Akawaambia, “Mbona mnalala? Amkeni msali, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.”
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas went up to Jesus to kiss him.
Alipokuwa bado anaongea, kundi la watu likaja likiongozwa na yule aliyeitwa Yuda, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili. Yuda akaenda kumsalimu Yesu kwa kumbusu.
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?”
Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda! Je, unamsaliti Mwana wa Mtu kwa kumbusu?”
49 Jesus' followers asked him, “Lord, should we attack them with our swords?”
Wale wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakasema, “Bwana, tutumie panga zetu?”
50 And one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
Na mmoja wao akampiga upanga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio lake la kulia.
51 “Stop! No more of this!” said Jesus. He touched the man's ear and healed him.
Hapo, Yesu akasema, “Acha! Hii inatosha.” Akaligusa sikio la mtu huyo akaliponya.
52 Then Jesus spoke to the chief priests, and the officers of the Temple guard, and the elders. “Am I some kind of criminal that you had to come with swords and clubs?” he asked.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia makuhani wakuu, wakubwa wa walinzi wa Hekalu na wazee waliokuja kumkamata: “Je, mmekuja na mapanga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi?
53 “You didn't arrest me before, even though I was with you in the Temple every day. But this is your moment now, the time when darkness is in power.”
Nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi kila siku Hekaluni hamkunitia nguvuni. Lakini, huu ndio wakati wenu hasa, ndio wakati wa utawala wa giza.”
54 They arrested him and led him away, taking him to the chief priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
Basi, wakamkamata, wakamchukua na kwenda naye nyumbani kwa Kuhani Mkuu. Petro akawa anamfuata nyuma kwa mbali.
55 They started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down by it. Peter was there among them.
Moto ulikuwa umewashwa katikati ya ua, nao wakawa wameketi pamoja Petro akiwa miongoni mwao.
56 As he sat there, a servant girl noticed him in the firelight, and stared directly at him and said,
Mjakazi mmoja alipomwona Petro ameketi karibu na moto, akamkodolea macho, akasema, “Mtu huyu alikuwa pia pamoja na Yesu.”
57 “This man was with him.” But Peter denied it. “Woman, I don't know him!” he said.
Lakini Petro akakana akisema, “Wee! simjui mimi.”
58 A little later someone else looked at him and said, “You're also one of them.” “No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
Baadaye kidogo, mtu mwingine akamwona Petro, akasema, “Wewe ni mmoja wao.” Lakini Petro akajibu “Bwana we; si mimi!”
59 About an hour later, another person insisted, “I'm sure he was with him too—he's a Galilean.”
Kama saa moja baadaye, mtu mwingine akasisitiza, “Hakika huyu alikuwa pamoja naye; ametoka Galilaya ati.”
60 “I've no idea what you're talking about!” Peter replied. Right then, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. The Lord turned and looked at Peter.
Lakini Petro akasema, “Bwana wee; sijui hata unachosema!” Na papo hapo, akiwa bado anaongea, jogoo akawika.
61 And Peter remembered what the Lord had said, how he'd told him: “Before the cock crows today, you'll deny me three times.”
Bwana akageuka na kumtazama Petro, naye Petro akakumbuka yale aliyokuwa ameambiwa na Bwana: “Leo kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
62 Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Hapo akatoka nje, akalia sana.
63 The men guarding Jesus began to mock him and beat him.
Wale watu waliokuwa wanamchunga Yesu, walimpiga na kumdhihaki.
64 They put a blindfold on him, and then asked him, “If you can prophesy, tell us who hit you that time!”
Walimfunga kitambaa usoni, wakawa wanamwuliza, “Ni nani aliyekupiga? Hebu bashiri tuone!”
65 and shouted many other insults at him.
Wakamtolea maneno mengi ya matusi.
66 Early in the morning the council of elders gathered together with the chief priests and religious teachers. Jesus was led before the council.
Kulipokucha, kikao cha wazee wa watu kilifanyika, ambacho kilihudhuriwa na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Yesu akaletwa mbele ya Baraza hilo.
67 “If you really are the Messiah, then tell us,” they said. “Even if I were to tell you, you wouldn't believe me,” Jesus replied.
Nao wakamwambia, “Twambie! Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo?” Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Hata kama nikiwaambieni, hamtasadiki;
68 “And if I were to ask you a question, you wouldn't answer.
na hata kama nikiwaulizeni swali, hamtanijibu.
69 But from now on the Son of man will sit at the right hand of the mighty God.”
Lakini tangu sasa, Mwana wa Mtu atakuwa ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mwenyezi.”
70 They all asked, “So are you the son of God?” “You say that I am,” Jesus replied.
Hapo wote wakasema, “Ndiyo kusema wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu?” Naye akasema, “Ninyi mnasema kwamba mimi ndiye.”
71 “Why do we need any more witnesses?” they said. “We've heard it ourselves from his own mouth!”
Nao wakasema, “Je, tunahitaji ushahidi mwingine? Sisi wenyewe tumesikia akisema kwa mdomo wake mwenyewe.”
