Mark 14
1 And two days after was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by craft, and put him to death.
Zilikuwa zimebaki siku mbili tu kabla ya Sikukuu ya Pasaka, na Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu. Viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria walikuwa wakitafuta njia ya kumkamata Yesu kwa hila na kumuua.
2 For they said, Not at the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.
Lakini walisema, “Tusilifanye jambo hili wakati wa Sikukuu, maana watu wanaweza wakafanya ghasia.”
3 And when he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, there came a woman having an alabaster bottle of ointment of pure spikenard, very precious; and breaking the bottle, she poured it on his head.
Yesu alikuwa Bethania nyumbani kwa Simoni aliyekuwa na ukoma. Wakati alipokuwa ameketi mezani akila chakula cha jioni, mwanamke mmoja aliingia akiwa na chupa ya marhamu yenye manukato ya nardo safi ya thamani kubwa. Akaivunja hiyo chupa, akamiminia hayo manukato kichwani mwa Yesu.
4 And there were some that were much displeased, [[and said]] among themselves, Why is this waste of the ointment made?
Baadhi ya watu waliokuwepo pale walikuwa wakisemezana wao kwa wao, “Upotevu huu wote ni wa nini?
5 For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor. And they chid her harshly.
Mafuta haya yangeweza kuuzwa kwa zaidi ya dinari 300, na fedha hizo wakapewa maskini.” Wakamkemea vikali huyo mwanamke.
6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? A good deed hath she done for me.
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mwanamke? Mwacheni! Yeye amenitendea jambo zuri sana.
7 For the poor ye have always with you, and whenever ye will, ye can do good to them; but me ye have not always.
Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote na mnaweza kuwasaidia wakati wowote mnaotaka. Lakini mimi hamtakuwa nami siku zote.
8 She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for its burial.
Huyu mwanamke amenitendea lile aliloweza. Ameumiminia mwili wangu manukato ili kuniandaa kwa maziko yangu.
9 And truly do I say to you, Wherever the glad tidings shall be published throughout the whole world, this too which she hath done will be told for a memorial of her.
Amin, nawaambia, mahali popote ulimwenguni ambapo Injili itahubiriwa, jambo hili alilolitenda huyu mwanamke litatajwa pia kwa ukumbusho wake.”
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, that he might deliver him up to them.
Kisha Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaenda kwa viongozi wa makuhani ili kumsaliti Yesu kwao.
11 And they when they heard it were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought a good opportunity to deliver him up.
Walifurahi sana kusikia jambo hili na wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Hivyo yeye akawa anatafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti.
12 And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they used to kill the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee to eat the passover?
Siku ya kwanza ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, siku ambayo kwa desturi mwana-kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa, wanafunzi wa Yesu wakamuuliza, “Unataka twende wapi ili tukuandalie mahali pa kula Pasaka?”
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go into the city, and there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him;
Basi akawatuma wawili miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Nendeni mjini. Huko mtakutana na mwanaume amebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni.
14 and wherever he goeth in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
Mwambieni mwenye nyumba ile atakayoingia, ‘Mwalimu anauliza: Kiko wapi chumba changu cha wageni, ambamo mimi na wanafunzi wangu tutakula Pasaka?’
15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared; and there make ready for us.
Atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani, kilichopambwa tena kilicho tayari. Tuandalieni humo.”
16 And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had told them; and they made ready the passover.
Wale wanafunzi wakaondoka na kwenda mjini, nao wakakuta kila kitu kama Yesu alivyowaambia. Hivyo wakaiandaa Pasaka.
17 And when it was evening, he cometh with the twelve.
Ilipofika jioni, Yesu akaja pamoja na wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, that one of you will betray me, —one that is eating with me.
Walipoketi mezani wakila, Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, nawaambia, mmoja wenu atanisaliti, mmoja anayekula pamoja nami.”
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I?
Wakaanza kuhuzunika na kumuuliza mmoja baada ya mwingine, “Je, ni mimi Bwana?”
20 And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one that is dipping with me in the dish.
Akawajibu, “Ni mmoja miongoni mwenu ninyi kumi na wawili, yule anayechovya mkate kwenye bakuli pamoja nami.
21 For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Well were it for that man if he had not been born.
Mwana wa Adamu anaenda zake kama vile alivyoandikiwa. Lakini ole wake mtu yule amsalitiye Mwana wa Adamu! Ingekuwa heri kwake mtu huyo kama hangezaliwa.”
22 And as they were eating, he took a loaf, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take; this is my body.
Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake, akisema, “Twaeni mle; huu ndio mwili wangu.”
23 And he took a cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them; and they all drank of it.
Kisha akakitwaa kikombe, akashukuru, akawapa, nao wote wakanywa kutoka humo.
24 And he said to them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many.
Akawaambia, “Hii ndiyo damu yangu ya agano, imwagikayo kwa ajili ya wengi.
25 Truly do I say to you, I shall not drink hereafter of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Amin, nawaambia, sitakunywa tena katika uzao wa mzabibu, hadi siku ile nitakapounywa mpya katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
26 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Walipokwisha kuimba wimbo, wakatoka wakaenda Mlima wa Mizeituni.
27 And Jesus saith to them, Ye will all fall away from me; for it is written, “I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.”
Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi nyote mtaniacha, kwa maana imeandikwa: “‘Nitampiga mchungaji, nao kondoo watatawanyika.’
28 But after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia kwenda Galilaya.”
29 But Peter said to him, Even if all shall fall away, yet will not I.
Petro akasema, “Hata kama wengine wote watakuacha, mimi sitakuacha.”
30 And Jesus saith to him, Truly do I say to thee, that even thou, to-day, on this night, before a cock crow twice, wilt thrice deny me.
Yesu akamwambia, “Amin, nakuambia; leo, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, wewe mwenyewe utanikana mara tatu.”
31 But he spoke the more vehemently: If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And so also said they all.
Lakini Petro akasisitiza zaidi, “Hata kama itabidi kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Nao wale wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
32 And they come to a place called Gethsemane; and he saith to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray.
Wakaenda mahali paitwapo Gethsemane. Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa, nami niende nikaombe.”
33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John; and began to be in great consternation and anguish.
Kisha akawachukua pamoja naye Petro, Yakobo na Yohana. Akaanza kuhuzunika sana na kutaabika.
34 And he saith to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death; remain here and watch.
Akawaambia, “Moyo wangu umejawa na huzuni kiasi cha kufa. Kaeni hapa na mkeshe.”
35 And going on a little farther, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it was possible, the hour might pass from him.
Akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akaomba kwamba kama ingewezekana saa hiyo ya mateso imwondokee.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee! take away this cup from me. But not what I will, but what thou wilt.
Akasema, “Abba, Baba, mambo yote yawezekana kwako. Niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nipendavyo mimi, bali vile upendavyo wewe.”
37 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping; and he saith to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst not thou watch one hour?
Akarudi kwa wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Simoni, umelala? Je, hukuweza kukesha hata kwa saa moja?
38 Watch, and pray that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Kesheni na mwombe, msije mkaingia majaribuni. Roho iko radhi, lakini mwili ni mdhaifu.”
39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
Akaenda tena kuomba, akisema maneno yale yale.
40 And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.
Aliporudi, akawakuta tena wamelala kwa sababu macho yao yalikuwa mazito. Nao hawakujua la kumwambia.
41 And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, Sleep on, and take your rest! It is enough! the hour is come: lo! the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Akaja mara ya tatu, akawaambia, “Bado mmelala na kupumzika? Imetosha! Saa imewadia. Tazameni, Mwana wa Adamu anasalitiwa na kutiwa mikononi mwa wenye dhambi.
42 Rise, let us be going; lo! he that delivereth me up is at hand.
Inukeni, twende zetu! Tazameni, msaliti wangu yuaja!”
43 And immediately, while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and elders.
Yesu alipokuwa bado anazungumza, Yuda, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi Kumi na Wawili, akatokea. Alikuwa amefuatana na umati wa watu wenye panga na marungu, waliokuwa wametumwa na viongozi wa makuhani, walimu wa sheria, na wazee.
44 And his betrayer had given them a signal, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, he is the man; seize him, and lead him away securely.
Basi msaliti alikuwa amewapa hao watu ishara, kwamba: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye. Mkamateni, mkamchukue chini ya ulinzi.”
45 And on coming he immediately went up to him, and said, Rabbi! and kissed him.
Mara Yuda akamjia Yesu na kusema, “Rabi.” Akambusu.
46 And they laid hands on him and seized him.
Wale watu wakamkamata Yesu, wakamweka chini ya ulinzi.
47 And one of those who stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his ear.
Ndipo mmoja wa wale waliokuwa wamesimama karibu aliuchomoa upanga wake na kumpiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, akamkata sikio.
48 And Jesus answering said to them, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Mmekuja na panga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyangʼanyi?
49 I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye did not lay hands on me; but [[thus it is]], that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.
Siku kwa siku nilikuwa pamoja nanyi nikifundisha Hekaluni, wala hamkunikamata. Lakini Maandiko sharti yatimie.”
50 And all forsook him and fled.
Ndipo wanafunzi wake wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
51 And there followed him a certain young man having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and they laid hold of him.
Kijana mmoja, ambaye hakuwa amevaa kitu isipokuwa alijitanda nguo ya kitani, alikuwa akimfuata Yesu. Walipomkamata,
52 And he left the linen cloth behind, and fled naked.
alikimbia uchi, akaliacha vazi lake.
53 And they led Jesus away to the high-priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes come together.
Wakampeleka Yesu kwa kuhani mkuu, nao viongozi wa makuhani wote, na wazee na walimu wa sheria wote wakakusanyika pamoja.
54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the palace of the high-priest, and was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.
Petro akamfuata kwa mbali, hadi uani kwa kuhani mkuu. Huko akaketi pamoja na walinzi, akiota moto.
55 And the chief priests and the whole council sought for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death; and they found none.
Viongozi wa makuhani na Baraza la Wayahudi lote wakatafuta ushahidi dhidi ya Yesu ili wapate kumuua. Lakini hawakupata jambo lolote.
56 For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree together.
Wengi walitoa ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake, lakini maelezo yao hayakukubaliana.
57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,
Ndipo wengine wakasimama wakatoa ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake, wakisema:
58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another not made with hands.
“Sisi tulimsikia akisema, ‘Mimi nitalibomoa Hekalu hili lililojengwa na wanadamu, na katika siku tatu nitajenga jingine ambalo halikujengwa na wanadamu.’”
59 And not even so did their testimony agree.
Lakini hata hivyo, ushahidi wao haukukubaliana.
60 And the high-priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee?
Basi kuhani mkuu akasimama mbele yao, akamuuliza Yesu, “Je, wewe hutajibu? Ni ushahidi gani hawa watu wanauleta dhidi yako?”
61 But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high-priest asked him, and saith to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya, hakusema neno lolote. Kuhani mkuu akamuuliza tena, “Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu Aliyebarikiwa?”
62 And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
Yesu akajibu, “Mimi ndimi. Nanyi mtamwona Mwana wa Adamu akiwa ameketi mkono wa kuume wa Mwenye Nguvu, na akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni.”
63 Then the high-priest rent his garments, and said, What further need have we of witnesses?
Kuhani mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi zaidi?
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death.
Ninyi mmesikia hayo makufuru. Uamuzi wenu ni gani?” Wote wakamhukumu kwamba anastahili kifo.
65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy! And the officers, with blows, took him in charge.
Kisha baadhi ya watu wakaanza kumtemea mate; wakamfunga kitambaa machoni, wakampiga kwa ngumi na kumwambia, “Tabiri!” Walinzi wakamchukua na kumpiga makofi.
66 And as Peter was below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the high-priest;
Petro alipokuwa bado yuko chini kwenye ua wa jumba la kifalme, tazama akaja mmoja wa watumishi wa kike wa kuhani mkuu.
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
Alipomwona Petro akiota moto, akamtazama sana, akamwambia, “Wewe pia ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu, Mnazareti.”
68 But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the fore-court; and a cock crew.
Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “Sijui wala sielewi unalosema.” Naye akaondoka kuelekea kwenye njia ya kuingilia.
69 And the maid-servant, seeing him, began again to say to those who were standing by, This is one of them.
Yule mtumishi wa kike alipomwona mahali pale, akawaambia tena wale waliokuwa wamesimama hapo, “Huyu mtu ni mmoja wao.”
70 And he denied it again. And shortly after, those who were standing by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.
Lakini Petro akakana tena. Baada ya muda kidogo wale waliokuwa wamesimama hapo karibu na Petro wakamwambia, “Hakika wewe ni mmoja wao, kwa maana wewe pia ni Mgalilaya!”
71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuwaapia, “Mimi simjui huyu mtu mnayesema habari zake!”
72 And immediately a cock crew a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
Papo hapo jogoo akawika mara ya pili. Ndipo Petro akakumbuka lile neno Yesu alikuwa amemwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utanikana mara tatu.” Akavunjika moyo, akalia sana.
