Matthew 27
1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the 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 they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.
Wakamfunga pingu, wakamchukua, wakamkabidhi kwa Pilato, mkuu wa mkoa.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and returned 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 betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
Akawaambia, “Nimekosa kwa kumtoa mtu asiye na hatia auawe.” Lakini wao wakasema, “Yatuhusu nini sisi? Hilo ni shauri lako.”
5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.
Naye akazitupa zile fedha Hekaluni, akatoka nje, akaenda akajinyonga.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since 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 They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.
Basi, wakashauriana, wakazitumia kununua shamba la mfinyanzi liwe mahali pa kuzika wageni.
8 Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood" to this day.
Ndiyo maana mpaka leo shamba hilo linaitwa Shamba la Damu.
9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
Hivyo maneno ya nabii Yeremia yakatimia: “Walizichukua sarafu thelathini za fedha, thamani ya yule ambaye watu wa Israeli walipanga bei,
10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."
wakanunua nazo shamba la mfinyanzi, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza.”
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "You say so."
Yesu alisimamishwa mbele ya mkuu wa mkoa. Basi, mkuu wa mkoa akamwuliza, “Je, wewe ndiwe Mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akamwambia, “Wewe umesema.”
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee walipokuwa wanamshtaki, hakujibu neno.
13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"
Hivyo Pilato akamwuliza, “Je, husikii mashtaka hayo yote wanayotoa juu yako?”
14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Lakini Yesu hakumjibu hata neno moja; hata huyo mkuu wa mkoa akashangaa sana.
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired.
Ilikuwa kawaida wakati wa Sikukuu ya Pasaka mkuu wa mkoa kuwafungulia Wayahudi mfungwa mmoja waliyemtaka.
16 They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Wakati huo kulikuwa na mfungwa mmoja, jina lake Baraba.
17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who 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 because of envy they had delivered him up.
Alisema hivyo maana alijua wazi kwamba walimleta kwake kwa sababu ya wivu.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous 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 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Lakini makuhani wakuu na wazee wakawashawishi watu waombe Baraba afunguliwe na Yesu auawe.
21 But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas."
Mkuu wa mkoa akawauliza, “Ni yupi kati ya hawa wawili mnayetaka nimfungue?” Wakamjibu, “Baraba!”
22 Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."
Pilato akawauliza, “Sasa, nifanye nini na Yesu aitwaye Kristo?” Wote wakasema, “Asulubiwe!”
23 But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."
Pilato akauliza, “Kwa nini? Amefanya kosa gani?” Wao wakazidi kupaaza sauti: “Asulubiwe!”
24 So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see 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 All the people answered, "May 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 he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
Hapo Pilato akawafungulia Baraba kutoka gerezani, lakini akamtoa Yesu asulubiwe.
27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
Kisha askari wa mkuu wa mkoa wakamwingiza Yesu ndani ya ikulu, wakamkusanyikia kikosi kizima.
28 They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
Wakamvua nguo zake, wakamvika joho la rangi nyekundu.
29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Greetings, 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 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
Wakamtemea mate, wakauchukua ule mwanzi, wakampiga nao kichwani.
31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Baada ya kumdhihaki, wakamvua lile joho, wakamvika nguo zake, kisha wakampeleka kumsulubisha.
32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
Walipokuwa wakienda, wakamkuta mtu mmoja jina lake Simoni, mwenyeji wa Kurene, wakamlazimisha kuuchukua msalaba wake Yesu.
33 They came to a place called "Golgotha," that is to say, "The place of a skull."
Walipofika mahali paitwapo Golgotha, maana yake, “Mahali pa Fuvu la kichwa,”
34 They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
wakampa mchanganyiko wa divai na nyongo. Lakini Yesu alipoonja akakataa kunywa.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among themselves, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.'
Walimsulubisha, kisha wakagawana mavazi yake kwa kuyapigia kura.
36 And they sat and watched him there.
Wakaketi, wakawa wanamchunga.
37 They set up over his head the accusation against him 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 there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
Wanyang'anyi wawili walisulubishwa pia pamoja naye, mmoja upande wa kushoto na mwingine upande wa kulia.
39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
Watu waliokuwa wanapita mahali hapo walimtukana wakitikisa vichwa vyao na kusema,
40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are 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 the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said,
Hali kadhalika na makuhani wakuu pamoja na walimu wa Sheria na wazee walimdhihaki wakisema,
42 "He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
“Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini kujiokoa mwenyewe hawezi! Eti yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi! Basi, sasa na ashuke msalabani, nasi tutamwamini.
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants 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 robbers also who were crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
Hali kadhalika na wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye wakamtukana.
45 Now from noon until three in the afternoon there was darkness over all the land.
Tangu saa sita mchana mpaka saa tisa, nchi yote ikawa katika giza.
46 Then at about three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema shabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you 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 who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."
Lakini wale waliosimama pale waliposikia hivyo wakasema, “Anamwita Eliya.”
48 Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
Mmoja wao akakimbia, akachukua sifongo, akaichovya katika siki, akaiweka juu ya mwanzi, akampa anywe.
49 The rest said, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."
Wengine wakasema, “Acha tuone kama Eliya anakuja kumwokoa.”
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
Basi, Yesu akalia tena kwa sauti kubwa, akakata roho.
51 And look, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
Hapo pazia la Hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili, toka juu mpaka chini; nchi ikatetemeka; miamba ikapasuka;
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
makaburi yakafunguka na watu wengi wa Mungu waliokufa wakafufuliwa;
53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
nao, baada ya kufufuka kwake, wakatoka makaburini, wakaingia katika Mji Mtakatifu, wakaonekana na watu wengi.
54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, 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 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
Mahali hapo walikuwapo wanawake wengi wakitazama kwa mbali. Hao ndio wale waliomfuata Yesu kutoka Galilaya wakimtumikia.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Miongoni mwao walikuwa Maria Magdalene, Maria mama yao Yakobo na Yosefu, pamoja na mama yao wana wa Zebedayo.
57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple came.
Ilipokuwa jioni, akaja mtu mmoja tajiri mwenyeji wa Armathaya, jina lake Yosefu. Yeye pia alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu.
58 This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
Akamwendea Pilato, akaomba apewe mwili wa Yesu. Basi, Pilato akaamuru apewe.
59 Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Yosefu akauchukua ule mwili akauzungushia sanda safi ya kitani,
60 and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
akauweka ndani ya kaburi lake jipya alilokuwa amelichonga katika mwamba. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kubwa mbele ya mlango wa kaburi, akaenda zake.
61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikuwa wameketi kulielekea kaburi.
62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
Kesho yake, yaani siku iliyofuata ile ya Maandalio, makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo walimwendea Pilato,
63 saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still 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 tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will 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 to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."
Pilato akawaambia, “Haya, mnao walinzi; nendeni mkalinde kadiri mjuavyo.”
66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
Basi, wakaenda, wakalilinda kaburi, wakatia mhuri juu ya lile jiwe na kuacha hapo askari walinzi.
