Mark 15
1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
Asubuhi na mapema wakuu wa makuhani walikutana pamoja na wazee na waandishi na baraza zima la wazee. Kisha wakamfunga Yesu wakampeleka kwa Pilato. Pilato akamwuliza, “wewe ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "You say so."
“Akamjibu, “Wewe umesema hivyo.”
3 The chief priests accused him of many things.
Wakuu wa makuhani wakaeleza mashitaka mengi juu ya Yesu.
4 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you."
Pilato akamwuliza tena, “Hujibu chochote? Huoni jinsi wanavyokushtaki kwa mambo mengi?
5 But Jesus made no further answer, and Pilate was amazed.
Lakini Yesu hakumjibu Pilato, na hiyo ilimshangaza.
6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they requested.
Kwa kawaida wakati wa sikukuu humfungulia mfungwa mmoja, mfungwa waliyemwomba.
7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder.
Kulikuwapo wahalifu gerezani, miongoni mwa wauaji kati ya walioasi wanaotumikia makosa yao. Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aitwaye Baraba.
8 And the crowd went up and began to ask him to do for them according to his custom.
Umati ulikuja kwa Pilato, na kumwomba afanye kama alivyofanya huko nyuma.
9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
Pilato akawajibu na kusema, “Mnataka niwafungulie Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
Kwa kuwa alijua ni kwa sababu ya wivu wakuu wa makuhani walimkamata Yesu na kumleta kwake.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
Lakini wakuu wa makuhani walichochea umati kupiga kelele kwa sauti kwamba afunguliwe Baraba badala yake.
12 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
Pilato akawajibu tena na kusema, “Nimfanye nini Mfalme wa Wayahudi?
13 They shouted again, "Crucify him."
Wakapiga kelele tena, “Msulibishe!”
14 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him."
Pilato akasema, “Amefanya jambo gani baya?” Lakini wakazidi kupiga kelele zaidi na zaidi “Msulibishe.”
15 Pilate, wishing to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
Pilato akitaka kuwaridhisha umati, akawafungulia Baraba. Akampiga Yesu mijeledi kisha akamtoa ili asulibiwe.
16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
Askari walimwongoza hadi ndani ya ua (ule ulio ndani ya kambi) na walikusanyika pamoja kikosi cha askari.
17 They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
Wakamvika Yesu kanzu ya rangi ya zambarau, na wakasokota taji ya miiba wakamvika.
18 They began to salute him, "Greetings, King of the Jews."
Wakaanza kumdhihaki na kusema, “Salam, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!”
19 They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
Wakampiga kichwani kwa mwanzi na kumtemea mate. Wakapiga magoti mbele yake kwa kumheshimu.
20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
Hata wakiisha kumdhihaki, wakamvua ile kanzu ya rangi ya zambarau na kumvika mavazi yake, na wakamtoa nje kwenda kumsulibisha.
21 And they forced one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
Wakamlazimisha mpita njia kumsaidia, aliyekuwa anaingia mjini kutoka shamba. Aitwaye Simoni Mkirene (baba yake Iskanda na Rufo); wakamlazimisha kubeba msalaba wa Yesu.
22 And they brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is translated, "The place of a skull."
Askari wakampeleka Yesu mahali paitwapo Goligotha (maana ya tafsiri hii ni, Sehemu ya Fuvu la kichwa).
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it.
Wakampa mvinyo iliyochanganywa na manemane, lakini hakunywa.
24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
Wakamsulibisha na wakagawana mavazi yake, wakayapigia kura kuamua kipande atakachopata kila askari.
25 It was nine in the morning, and they crucified him.
Yapata saa tatu asubuhi walipomsulibisha.
26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."
Wakaweka juu yake ubao ulioandikwa shitaka, “Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
27 With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.
Walimsubisha pamoja na majambazi wawili, mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine kushoto kwake.
28 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And he was numbered with transgressors."
(Zingatia: Mstari huu, “Na maandiko yakatimia yaliyonena” haumo katika nakala za kale).
29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha. You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
Nao waliokuwa wakipita walimtukana, wakitikisa vichwa vyao wakisema, “Aha! wewe utakayevunja hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu,
30 save yourself and come down from the cross."
jiokoe mwenyewe na ushuke chini toka msalabani!”
31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He cannot save himself.
Kwa namna ile ile wakuu wa makuhani walimdhihaki wakisemezana, pamoja na waandishi na kusema, “Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe.
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him insulted him.
Kristo Mfalme wa Israel, shuka chini sasa toka msalabani, ili tuweze kuona na kuamini.” Na wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye pia walimdhihaki.
33 Now when it was noon, there was darkness over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
Ilipofika saa sita, giza likaja juu ya nchi yote hadi saa tisa.
34 Then at three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Elohi, Elohi, lema shabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Wakati wa saa tisa, Yesu alipiga kelele kwa sauti kubwa, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” ikiwa na maana “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, kwa nini umeniacha?”
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Look, he is calling for Elijah."
Baadhi ya hao waliosimama waliposikia wakasema, “Tazama, anamwita Eliya.”
36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down."
Mtu mmoja akakimbia, akajaza siki katika sponji na kuiweka juu ya mti wa mwanzi, akampa ili anywe. Mtu mmoja akasema, “Ngoja tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumshusha chini.”
37 Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up the spirit.
Kisha Yesu akalia kwa sauti kubwa na akafa.
38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
Pazia la hekalu likagawanyika vipande viwili toka juu mpaka chini.
39 And when the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God."
Ofisa mmoja aliyekuwa amesimama akimwelekea Yesu, alipoona amekufa kwa jinsi ile, akasema, “Kweli huyu mtu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
40 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Josi, and Salome;
Walikuwepo pia wanawake waliokuwa wakitazama kwa mbali. Miongoni mwao alikuwepo Mariamu Magdalena, Mariamu (mama yake Yakobo mdogo wa Yose), na Salome.
41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
Wakati alipokuwa Galilaya walimfuata na kumtumikia. Na wanawake wengine wengi pia waliambatana naye hadi Yerusalemu.
42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
Kulipokuwa jioni, na kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya maandalio, siku kabla ya Sabato,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
Yusufu wa Arimathaya alikuja pale. Alikuwa ni mjumbe wa Baraza anayeheshimiwa mtu anayeutarajia Ufalme wa Mungu. Kwa ujasiri akaenda kwa Pilato, na kuuomba mwili wa Yesu.
44 Pilate was surprised that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
Pilato akashangazwa kwamba Yesu tayari amekufa; akamwita yule afisa akamwuliza kama Yesu amekufa.
45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
Alipopata uhakika kwa afisa kwamba amekufa, alimruhusu Yusufu kuuchukua mwili.
46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
Yusufu alikuwa amenunua sanda. Akamshusha toka msalabani, akamfunga kwa sanda, na kumweka ndani ya kaburi lililochimbwa katika mwamba. Kisha akalivingirisha jiwe mlangoni mwa kaburi.
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Josi, saw where he was placed.
Mariamu Magdalena na Mariamu mama yake Yose waliona sehemu alipozikwa Yesu.
