Matthew 27
1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
Kulipopambazuka, makuhani wakuu wote na wazee wa watu walifanya mashauri juu ya Yesu wapate kumwua.
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Wakamfunga pingu, wakamchukua, wakamkabidhi kwa Pilato, mkuu wa mkoa.
3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Hapo, Yuda ambaye ndiye aliyemsaliti, alipoona kwamba wamekwisha mhukumu Yesu, akajuta, akawarudishia makuhani wakuu zile sarafu thelathini za fedha.
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
Akawaambia, “Nimekosa kwa kumtoa mtu asiye na hatia auawe.” Lakini wao wakasema, “Yatuhusu nini sisi? Hilo ni shauri lako.”
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Naye akazitupa zile fedha Hekaluni, akatoka nje, akaenda akajinyonga.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
Makuhani wakuu wakazichukua zile fedha, wakasema, “Haifai kuziweka katika hazina ya Hekalu kwa maana ni fedha za damu.”
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Basi, wakashauriana, wakazitumia kununua shamba la mfinyanzi liwe mahali pa kuzika wageni.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
Ndiyo maana mpaka leo shamba hilo linaitwa Shamba la Damu.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
Hivyo maneno ya nabii Yeremia yakatimia: “Walizichukua sarafu thelathini za fedha, thamani ya yule ambaye watu wa Israeli walipanga bei,
10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
wakanunua nazo shamba la mfinyanzi, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza.”
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
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 chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee walipokuwa wanamshtaki, hakujibu neno.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
Hivyo Pilato akamwuliza, “Je, husikii mashtaka hayo yote wanayotoa juu yako?”
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
Lakini Yesu hakumjibu hata neno moja; hata huyo mkuu wa mkoa akashangaa sana.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto 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 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus 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 knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Alisema hivyo maana alijua wazi kwamba walimleta kwake kwa sababu ya wivu.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because 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 chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee wakawashawishi watu waombe Baraba afunguliwe na Yesu auawe.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Mkuu wa mkoa akawauliza, “Ni yupi kati ya hawa wawili mnayetaka nimfungue?” Wakamjibu, “Baraba!”
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Pilato akawauliza, “Sasa, nifanye nini na Yesu aitwaye Kristo?” Wote wakasema, “Asulubiwe!”
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out 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 could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye 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 said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Watu wote wakasema, “Damu yake na iwe juu yetu na juu ya watoto wetu!”
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Hapo Pilato akawafungulia Baraba kutoka gerezani, lakini akamtoa Yesu asulubiwe.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
Kisha askari wa mkuu wa mkoa wakamwingiza Yesu ndani ya ikulu, wakamkusanyikia kikosi kizima.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Wakamvua nguo zake, wakamvika joho la rangi nyekundu.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
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 they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
Wakamtemea mate, wakauchukua ule mwanzi, wakampiga nao kichwani.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify 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, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Walipokuwa wakienda, wakamkuta mtu mmoja jina lake Simoni, mwenyeji wa Kurene, wakamlazimisha kuuchukua msalaba wake Yesu.
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Walipofika mahali paitwapo Golgotha, maana yake, “Mahali pa Fuvu la kichwa,”
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
wakampa mchanganyiko wa divai na nyongo. Lakini Yesu alipoonja akakataa kunywa.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
Walimsulubisha, kisha wakagawana mavazi yake kwa kuyapigia kura.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
Wakaketi, wakawa wanamchunga.
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Juu ya kichwa chake wakaweka shtaka dhidi yake lilioandikwa, “Huyu ni Yesu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
38 Then were there two thieves 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 reviled him, wagging their heads,
Watu waliokuwa wanapita mahali hapo walimtukana wakitikisa vichwa vyao na kusema,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
“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 chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Hali kadhalika na makuhani wakuu pamoja na walimu wa Sheria na wazee walimdhihaki wakisema,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe 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 deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Alimtumainia Mungu na kusema eti yeye ni Mwana wa Mungu; basi, Mungu na amwokoe kama anamtaka.”
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
Hali kadhalika na wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye wakamtukana.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Tangu saa sita mchana mpaka saa tisa, nchi yote ikawa katika giza.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, 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 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elijah.
Lakini wale waliosimama pale waliposikia hivyo wakasema, “Anamwita Eliya.”
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Mmoja wao akakimbia, akachukua sifongo, akaichovya katika siki, akaiweka juu ya mwanzi, akampa anywe.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.
Wengine wakasema, “Acha tuone kama Eliya anakuja kumwokoa.”
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Basi, Yesu akalia tena kwa sauti kubwa, akakata roho.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Hapo pazia la Hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili, toka juu mpaka chini; nchi ikatetemeka; miamba ikapasuka;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
makaburi yakafunguka na watu wengi wa Mungu waliokufa wakafufuliwa;
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
nao, baada ya kufufuka kwake, wakatoka makaburini, wakaingia katika Mji Mtakatifu, wakaonekana na watu wengi.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son 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 afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
Mahali hapo walikuwapo wanawake wengi wakitazama kwa mbali. Hao ndio wale waliomfuata Yesu kutoka Galilaya wakimtumikia.
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
Miongoni mwao walikuwa Maria Magdalene, Maria mama yao Yakobo na Yosefu, pamoja na mama yao wana wa Zebedayo.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ 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 begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Akamwendea Pilato, akaomba apewe mwili wa Yesu. Basi, Pilato akaamuru apewe.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Yosefu akauchukua ule mwili akauzungushia sanda safi ya kitani,
60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door 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 Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikuwa wameketi kulielekea kaburi.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
Kesho yake, yaani siku iliyofuata ile ya Maandalio, makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo walimwendea Pilato,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
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 until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than 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 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Pilato akawaambia, “Haya, mnao walinzi; nendeni mkalinde kadiri mjuavyo.”
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Basi, wakaenda, wakalilinda kaburi, wakatia mhuri juu ya lile jiwe na kuacha hapo askari walinzi.
