Matthew 27
1 When the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests, and the elders of the people tooke counsell against Iesus, to put him to death,
Kulipopambazuka, makuhani wakuu wote na wazee wa watu walifanya mashauri juu ya Yesu wapate kumwua.
2 And led him away bounde, and deliuered him vnto Pontius Pilate the gouernour.
Wakamfunga pingu, wakamchukua, wakamkabidhi kwa Pilato, mkuu wa mkoa.
3 Then when Iudas which betraied him, sawe that hee was condemned, hee repented himselfe, and brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priestes, and Elders,
Hapo, Yuda ambaye ndiye aliyemsaliti, alipoona kwamba wamekwisha mhukumu Yesu, akajuta, akawarudishia makuhani wakuu zile sarafu thelathini za fedha.
4 Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud. But they sayde, What is that to vs? see thou to it.
Akawaambia, “Nimekosa kwa kumtoa mtu asiye na hatia auawe.” Lakini wao wakasema, “Yatuhusu nini sisi? Hilo ni shauri lako.”
5 And when hee had cast downe the siluer pieces in the Temple, hee departed, and went, and hanged himselfe.
Naye akazitupa zile fedha Hekaluni, akatoka nje, akaenda akajinyonga.
6 And the chiefe Priestes tooke the siluer pieces, and sayde, It is not lawfull for vs to put them into the treasure, because it is the price of bloud.
Makuhani wakuu wakazichukua zile fedha, wakasema, “Haifai kuziweka katika hazina ya Hekalu kwa maana ni fedha za damu.”
7 And they tooke counsell, and bought with them a potters fielde, for the buriall of strangers.
Basi, wakashauriana, wakazitumia kununua shamba la mfinyanzi liwe mahali pa kuzika wageni.
8 Wherefore that field is called, The field of bloud, vntill this day.
Ndiyo maana mpaka leo shamba hilo linaitwa Shamba la Damu.
9 (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremias the Prophet, saying, And they tooke thirtie siluer pieces, ye price of him that was valued, whom they of ye children of Israel valued.
Hivyo maneno ya nabii Yeremia yakatimia: “Walizichukua sarafu thelathini za fedha, thamani ya yule ambaye watu wa Israeli walipanga bei,
10 And they gaue them for the potters fielde, as the Lord appointed me.)
wakanunua nazo shamba la mfinyanzi, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza.”
11 And Iesus stood before ye gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying, Art thou that King of the Iewes? Iesus said vnto him, Thou sayest it.
Yesu alisimamishwa mbele ya mkuu wa mkoa. Basi, mkuu wa mkoa akamwuliza, “Je, wewe ndiwe Mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akamwambia, “Wewe umesema.”
12 And when he was accused of the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, he answered nothing.
Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee walipokuwa wanamshtaki, hakujibu neno.
13 Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee?
Hivyo Pilato akamwuliza, “Je, husikii mashtaka hayo yote wanayotoa juu yako?”
14 But he answered him not to one worde, in so much that the gouernour marueiled greatly.
Lakini Yesu hakumjibu hata neno moja; hata huyo mkuu wa mkoa akashangaa sana.
15 Nowe at the feast, the gouernour was wont to deliuer vnto the people a prisoner whom they would.
Ilikuwa kawaida wakati wa Sikukuu ya Pasaka mkuu wa mkoa kuwafungulia Wayahudi mfungwa mmoja waliyemtaka.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Wakati huo kulikuwa na mfungwa mmoja, jina lake Baraba.
17 When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ?
Hivyo, watu walipokusanyika pamoja, Pilato akawauliza, “Mwataka nimfungue yupi kati ya wawili hawa, Baraba ama Yesu aitwae Kristo?”
18 (For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him.
Alisema hivyo maana alijua wazi kwamba walimleta kwake kwa sababu ya wivu.
19 Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.)
Pilato alipokuwa amekaa katika kiti cha hukumu, mke wake akampelekea ujumbe: “Usijitie katika shauri la mtu huyu mwema, maana leo nimeteseka sana katika ndoto kwa sababu yake.”
20 But the chiefe Priestes and the Elders had persuaded the people that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus.
Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee wakawashawishi watu waombe Baraba afunguliwe na Yesu auawe.
21 Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas.
Mkuu wa mkoa akawauliza, “Ni yupi kati ya hawa wawili mnayetaka nimfungue?” Wakamjibu, “Baraba!”
22 Pilate said vnto them, What shall I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified.
Pilato akawauliza, “Sasa, nifanye nini na Yesu aitwaye Kristo?” Wote wakasema, “Asulubiwe!”
23 Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Pilato akauliza, “Kwa nini? Amefanya kosa gani?” Wao wakazidi kupaaza sauti: “Asulubiwe!”
24 When Pilate saw that he auailed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he tooke water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust man: looke you to it.
Basi, Pilato alipotambua kwamba hafanikiwi chochote na kwamba maasi yalikuwa yanaanza, alichukua maji, akanawa mikono mbele ya ule umati wa watu, akasema, “Mimi sina lawama juu ya kifo cha mtu huyu; shauri lenu wenyewe.”
25 Then answered all the people, and saide, His bloud be on vs, and on our children.
Watu wote wakasema, “Damu yake na iwe juu yetu na juu ya watoto wetu!”
26 Thus let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered him to be crucified.
Hapo Pilato akawafungulia Baraba kutoka gerezani, lakini akamtoa Yesu asulubiwe.
27 Then the souldiers of the gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band,
Kisha askari wa mkuu wa mkoa wakamwingiza Yesu ndani ya ikulu, wakamkusanyikia kikosi kizima.
28 And they stripped him, and put about him a skarlet robe,
Wakamvua nguo zake, wakamvika joho la rangi nyekundu.
29 And platted a crowne of thornes, and put it vpon his head, and a reede in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God saue thee King of the Iewes,
Kisha wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika kichwani, wakamwekea pia mwanzi katika mkono wake wa kulia. Wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakamdhihaki wakisema, “Shikamoo mfalme wa Wayahudi!”
30 And spitted vpon him, and tooke a reede, and smote him on the head.
Wakamtemea mate, wakauchukua ule mwanzi, wakampiga nao kichwani.
31 Thus when they had mocked him, they tooke the robe from him, and put his owne rayment on him, and led him away to crucifie him.
Baada ya kumdhihaki, wakamvua lile joho, wakamvika nguo zake, kisha wakampeleka kumsulubisha.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse.
Walipokuwa wakienda, wakamkuta mtu mmoja jina lake Simoni, mwenyeji wa Kurene, wakamlazimisha kuuchukua msalaba wake Yesu.
33 And when they came vnto the place called Golgotha, (that is to say, the place of dead mens skulles)
Walipofika mahali paitwapo Golgotha, maana yake, “Mahali pa Fuvu la kichwa,”
34 They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drinke.
wakampa mchanganyiko wa divai na nyongo. Lakini Yesu alipoonja akakataa kunywa.
35 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lottes, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, They deuided my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did cast lottes.
Walimsulubisha, kisha wakagawana mavazi yake kwa kuyapigia kura.
36 And they sate, and watched him there.
Wakaketi, wakawa wanamchunga.
37 They set vp also ouer his head his cause written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEVVES.
Juu ya kichwa chake wakaweka shtaka dhidi yake lilioandikwa, “Huyu ni Yesu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
38 And there were two theeues crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
Wanyang'anyi wawili walisulubishwa pia pamoja naye, mmoja upande wa kushoto na mwingine upande wa kulia.
39 And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heades,
Watu waliokuwa wanapita mahali hapo walimtukana wakitikisa vichwa vyao na kusema,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest ye Temple, and buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: if thou be ye Sonne of God, come downe from ye crosse.
“Wewe! Si ulijidai kulivunja Hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu? Sasa jiokoe mwenyewe. Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, basi shuka msalabani!”
41 Likewise also the hie Priests mocking him, with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharises, said,
Hali kadhalika na makuhani wakuu pamoja na walimu wa Sheria na wazee walimdhihaki wakisema,
42 He saued others, but he cannot saue him selfe: if he be ye King of Israel, let him now come downe from ye crosse, and we will beleeue in him.
“Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini kujiokoa mwenyewe hawezi! Eti yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi! Basi, sasa na ashuke msalabani, nasi tutamwamini.
43 He trusted in God, let him deliuer him nowe, if he will haue him: for he saide, I am the Sonne of God.
Alimtumainia Mungu na kusema eti yeye ni Mwana wa Mungu; basi, Mungu na amwokoe kama anamtaka.”
44 The selfe same thing also ye theeues which were crucified with him, cast in his teeth.
Hali kadhalika na wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye wakamtukana.
45 Now from ye sixt houre was there darkenesse ouer all the land, vnto the ninth houre.
Tangu saa sita mchana mpaka saa tisa, nchi yote ikawa katika giza.
46 And about ye ninth houre Iesus cryed with a loud voyce, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Mnamo saa tisa Yesu akalia kwa sauti kubwa, “Eli, Eli, lema sabakthani?” Maana yake, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?”
47 And some of them that stoode there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elias.
Lakini wale waliosimama pale waliposikia hivyo wakasema, “Anamwita Eliya.”
48 And straightway one of them ran, and tooke a spondge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke.
Mmoja wao akakimbia, akachukua sifongo, akaichovya katika siki, akaiweka juu ya mwanzi, akampa anywe.
49 Other said, Let be: let vs see, if Elias wil come and saue him.
Wengine wakasema, “Acha tuone kama Eliya anakuja kumwokoa.”
50 Then Iesus cryed againe with a loude voyce, and yeelded vp the ghost.
Basi, Yesu akalia tena kwa sauti kubwa, akakata roho.
51 And behold, the vayle of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the top to the bottome, and the earth did quake, and the stones were cloue.
Hapo pazia la Hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili, toka juu mpaka chini; nchi ikatetemeka; miamba ikapasuka;
52 And the graues did open themselues, and many bodies of the Saintes, which slept, arose,
makaburi yakafunguka na watu wengi wa Mungu waliokufa wakafufuliwa;
53 And came out of the graues after his resurrection, and went into the holy citie, and appeared vnto many.
nao, baada ya kufufuka kwake, wakatoka makaburini, wakaingia katika Mji Mtakatifu, wakaonekana na watu wengi.
54 When the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Iesus, saw the earthquake, and the thinges that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the Sonne of God.
Basi, jemadari na wale waliokuwa wakimlinda Yesu walipoona tetemeko la ardhi na yale mambo yaliyotukia, wakaogopa sana, wakasema, “Hakika mtu huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
55 And many women were there, beholding him a farre off, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, ministring vnto him.
Mahali hapo walikuwapo wanawake wengi wakitazama kwa mbali. Hao ndio wale waliomfuata Yesu kutoka Galilaya wakimtumikia.
56 Among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedeus sonnes.
Miongoni mwao walikuwa Maria Magdalene, Maria mama yao Yakobo na Yosefu, pamoja na mama yao wana wa Zebedayo.
57 And when the euen was come, there came a riche man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who had also himselfe bene Iesus disciple.
Ilipokuwa jioni, akaja mtu mmoja tajiri mwenyeji wa Armathaya, jina lake Yosefu. Yeye pia alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu.
58 He went to Pilate, and asked ye body of Iesus. Then Pilate commanded ye body to be deliuered.
Akamwendea Pilato, akaomba apewe mwili wa Yesu. Basi, Pilato akaamuru apewe.
59 So Ioseph tooke the body, and wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth,
Yosefu akauchukua ule mwili akauzungushia sanda safi ya kitani,
60 And put it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out in a rocke, and rolled a great stone to the doore of the sepulchre, and departed.
akauweka ndani ya kaburi lake jipya alilokuwa amelichonga katika mwamba. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kubwa mbele ya mlango wa kaburi, akaenda zake.
61 And there was Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie sitting ouer against the sepulchre.
Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikuwa wameketi kulielekea kaburi.
62 Nowe the next day that followed the Preparation of the Sabbath, the hie Priestes and Pharises assembled to Pilate,
Kesho yake, yaani siku iliyofuata ile ya Maandalio, makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo walimwendea Pilato,
63 And said, Syr, we remember that that deceiuer saide, while he was yet aliue, Within three dayes I will rise.
Wakasema, “Mheshimiwa, tunakumbuka kwamba yule mdanganyifu alisema kabla ya kufa ati, Baada ya siku tatu nitafufuka.
64 Command therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure vntill the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steale him away, and say vnto the people, He is risen from the dead: so shall the last errour be worse then the first.
Kwa hiyo amuru kaburi lilindwe mpaka siku ya tatu ili wanafunzi wake wasije wakamwiba na kuwaambia watu kwamba amefufuka. Uongo huu wa mwisho utakuwa mbaya kuliko ule wa awali.”
65 Then Pilate saide vnto them, Ye haue a watch: goe, and make it sure as ye knowe.
Pilato akawaambia, “Haya, mnao walinzi; nendeni mkalinde kadiri mjuavyo.”
66 And they went, and made the sepulchre sure with the watch, and sealed the stone.
Basi, wakaenda, wakalilinda kaburi, wakatia mhuri juu ya lile jiwe na kuacha hapo askari walinzi.
