Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended all these words, he said unto his disciples:
Wakati Yesu alipomaliza kusema maneno yote hayo, aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,
2 Ye know that, after two days, the passover, taketh place, —and, the Son of Man, is to be delivered up, to be crucified.
“Mnajua kwamba baada ya siku mbili kutakuwa na sikukuu ya pasaka, na mwana wa Adamu atatolewa ili asulibiwe.”
3 Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas;
Baadaye wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wa watu walikutana pamoja katika makao ya Kuhani Mkuu, aliye kuwa anaitwa Kayafa.
4 and they took counsel together, in order that, Jesus, by guile, they might secure, and slay.
Kwa pamoja walipanga njama ya kumkamata Yesu kwa siri na kumuua.
5 They were saying, however: Not during the feast, lest, an uproar, arise among the people.
Kwa kuwa walisema, “Isifanyike wakati wa sikukuu, kusudi isije ikazuka ghasia miongoni mwa watu.”
6 But, Jesus, happening to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Wakati Yesu alipokuwa Bethania katika nyumba ya Simoni mkoma,
7 there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.
alipokuwa amejinyoosha mezani, mwanamke mmoja alikuja kwake akiwa amebeba mkebe wa alabasta iliyokuwa na mafuta yenye thamani kubwa, na aliyamimina juu ya kichwa chake.
8 And the disciples, seeing it, were greatly displeased, saying—To what end, this loss?
Lakini wanafunzi wake walipoona jambo hilo, walichukia na kusema, “Nini sababu ya hasara hii?
9 For this could have been sold for much, and given to the destitute.
Haya yangeweza kuuzwa kwa kiasi kikubwa na kupewa maskini.”
10 But Jesus, taking note, said unto them—Why vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;
Lakini Yesu, akiwa anajua hili, aliwaambia, “Kwa nini mnamsumbua mwanamke huyu? Kwa kuwa amefanya kitu kizuri kwangu.
11 For, always, the destitute, have ye with you, —but, me, not always, have ye;
Masikini mnao siku zote, lakini hamtakuwa pamoja nami daima.
12 For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.
Kwa sababu alipomimina mafuta haya juu ya mwili wangu, alifanya hivyo kwa ajili ya maziko yangu.
13 Verily, I say unto you—Wheresoever this glad-message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.
Kweli nawaambieni, popote Injili hii itakapohubiriwa katika ulimwengu mzima, kitendo alichofanya huyu mwanamke, pia kitakuwa kinasemwa kwa ajili ya kumkumbuka.”
14 Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests,
Ndipo mmoja wa wale Kumi na wawili, aliyeitwa Yuda Iskariote, alienda kwa wakuu wa makuhani
15 and said—What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
na kusema, “Mtanipatia nini nikimsaliti?” Wakampimia Yuda vipande thelathini vya fedha.
16 And, from that time, was he seeking a favourable opportunity that he might, deliver him up.
Tangu muda huo alitafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti.
17 And, on the first of the days of unleavened bread, the disciples came unto Jesus, saying—Where wilt thou, that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
Hata siku ya kwanza ya mikate isiyotiwa chachu, wanafunzi walimwendea Yesu na kusema, “Wapi unataka tukuandalie ule chakula cha Pasaka?”
18 And, he, said—Go your way into the city, unto such-a-one, and say to him, The teacher, saith, My season, is, near, with thee, will I keep the passover, with my disciples.
Akawaambia, “Nendeni mjini kwa mtu fulani na mwambieni, Mwalimu anasema, “Muda wangu umekaribia. Nitaitimiza Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu katika nyumba yako.””
19 And the disciples did, as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.
Wanafunzi walifanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, na waliandaa chakula cha Pasaka.
20 And, when, evening, came, he was reclining with the twelve [disciples];
Ilipofika jioni, aliketi kula chakula pamoja na wale wanafunzi Kumi na Wawili.
21 and, as they were eating, he said—Verily, I say unto you, One from among you, will deliver me up.
Walipokuwa wanakula chakula, alisema, “Kweli nawaambia kwamba mmoja wenu atanisaliti.”
22 And, being exceedingly grieved, they began to be saying to him, each one—Can it be, I, Lord?
Walihuzunika sana, na kila mmoja alianza kumuuliza, “Je, hakika siyo mimi, Bwana?”
23 And, he, answering, said—He who hath dipped with me his hand in the bowl, the same, will deliver me up.
Akawajibu, “Yule ambaye anachovya mkono wake pamoja nami katika bakuli ndiye atakaye nisaliti.
24 The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him, —But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!
Mwana wa Adamu ataondoka, kama alivyoandikiwa. Lakini ole wake mtu ambaye atamsaliti Mwana wa Adamu! Ingekuwa vizuri kwa mtu huyo kama asingezaliwa.”
25 And Judas, who was delivering him up, answering, said—Can it be, I, Rabbi? He saith unto him—Thou, hast said.
Yuda, ambaye angemsaliti alisema, “Je!, Ni mimi Rabi?” Yesu akamwambia, “Umesema jambo hilo wewe mwenyewe.”
26 And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing, brake, —and, giving to his disciples, said—Take, eat! This, is, my body.
Walipokuwa wakila chakula, Yesu aliutwaa mkate, akaubariki, na kuumega. Akawapa wanafunzi wake akisema, “Chukueni, mle. Huu ni mwili wangu.”
27 And, taking a cup, and giving thanks, he gave unto them, saying—Drink of it, all of you;
Akatwaa kikombe na kushukuru, akawapa na kusema, “Kunyweni wote katika hiki.
28 For, this, is my blood of the covenant, which, for many, is to be poured out, for remission of sins.
Kwa kuwa hii ni damu ya agano langu, inayomwagwa kwa ajili ya wengi kwa msamaha wa dhambi.
29 Moreover, I say unto you—In nowise, will I drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day, whensoever I shall drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.
Lakini nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena matunda ya mzabibu huu, hadi siku ile nitakapokunywa mpya pamoja nanyi katika ufalme wa Baba yangu.”
30 And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
Walipokuwa wamemaliza kuimba wimbo, walitoka kwenda Mlima wa Mizeituni.
31 Then, Jesus saith unto them—All ye, will find cause of stumbling in me, during this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep of the flock, will be scattered abroad;
Kisha Yesu aliwaambia, “Usiku huu ninyi nyote mtajikwaa kwa sababu yangu, kwa kuwa imeandikwa, Nitampiga mchungaji na kondoo wa kundi watatawanyika.
32 But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia kwenda Galilaya.”
33 Now Peter, answering, said unto him—Though, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.
Lakini Petro alimwambia, “Hata kama wote watakukataa kwa sababu ya mambo yatakayokupata, mimi sitakukataa.”
34 Jesus saith unto him: Verily, I say unto thee—During this night, before a cock crow, Thrice, wilt thou deny me.
Yesu akamjibu, “kweli nakuambia, usiku huu kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
35 Peter saith unto him: Even though it be needful for me, with thee to die, in nowise, will I deny thee. Likewise, all the disciples also, said.
Petro akamwambia, “hata kama ingenipasa kufa na wewe, sitakukana.” Na wanafunzi wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
36 Then Jesus cometh with them, into a place called Gethsemane, —and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
Baadaye Yesu alienda nao mahali panapoitwa Gethsemane na aliwaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa wakati nikienda huko na kuomba.”
37 And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.
Akamchukua Petro na wana wawili wa Zebedayo na akaanza kuhuzunika na kusononeka.
38 Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me.
Kisha aliwaambia, “Roho yangu ina huzuni kubwa sana, hata kiasi cha kufa. Bakini hapa na mkeshe pamoja nami.”
39 And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and saying—My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me, —Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.
Akenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, na kuomba. Akasema, “Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, kikombe hiki kiniepuke. Isiwe kama ninavyotaka mimi, bali kama utakavyo wewe.”
40 And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto Peter—Thus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me?
Akawaendea wanafunzi na akawakuta wamelala usingizi, na akamwambia Petro, “Kwa nini hamkuweza kukesha nami kwa saa moja?
41 Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.
Kesheni na kuomba kusudi msiingie majaribuni. Roho i radhi, lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
42 Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will.
Akaenda zake mara ya pili na kuomba, akasema, “Baba yangu, kama jambo hili haliwezi kuepukika na ni lazima nikinywee kikombe hiki, mapenzi yako yatimizwe.”
43 And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.
Akarudi tena na kuwakuta wamelala usingizi, kwa kuwa macho yao yalikuwa mazito.
44 And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.
Kisha akawaacha tena akaenda zake. Akaomba mara ya tatu akisema maneno yaleyale.
45 Then, cometh he unto the disciples, and saith unto them, —Ye are sleeping what time remaineth, and taking your rest: Lo! the hour hath drawn near, and, the Son of Man, is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Baadaye Yesu aliwaendea wanafunzi wake na kuwaambia, “Bado mmelala tu na kujipumzisha? Tazameni, saa imekaribia, na Mwana wa Adamu anasalitiwa mikononi mwa wenye dhambi.
46 Arise! let us be going, —Lo! he that delivereth me up, hath drawn near.
Amkeni, tuondoke. Tazama, yule anaye nisaliti amekaribia.”
47 And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and, with him, a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and Elders of the people.
Wakati alipokuwa bado anaongea, Yuda mmoja wa wale Kumi na Wawili, akafika. Kundi kubwa lilifika pamoja naye likitokea kwa wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wa watu. Walikuja na mapanga na marungu.
48 And, he who was delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying—Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is, —secure him.
Tena mtu aliyekusudia kumsaliti Yesu alikuwa amewapa ishara, akisema, “Yule nitakayembusu, ndiye yeye. Mkamateni.”
49 And, straightway, coming unto Jesus, he said—Joy to thee! Rabbi, and eagerly kissed him.
Mara hiyo alikuja kwa Yesu na kusema, “Salamu, Mwalimu!” Na akambusu.
50 But, Jesus, said unto him—Friend! wherefore art thou here? Then, coming forward, they thrust their hands upon Jesus, and secured him.
Yesu akamwambia, “Rafiki, lifanye lile ambalo limekuleta.” Ndipo wakaja, na kumnyooshea mikono Yesu, na kumkamata.
51 And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.
Tazama, mtu mmoja aliyekuwa pamoja na Yesu, alinyosha mkono wake, akachomoa upanga wake, na akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, na kumkata sikio lake.
52 Then, Jesus saith unto him—Put back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish.
Ndipo Yesu akamwambia, rudisha upanga wako pale ulipoutoa, kwa kuwa wote watumiao upanga wataangamizwa kwa upanga.
53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers?
Mnadhani kuwa siwezi kumwita Baba yangu, naye akanitumia majeshi zaidi ya kumi na mawili ya malaika?
54 How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?
Lakini basi jinsi gani maandiko yangeweza kutimizwa, hivi ndivyo inapasa kutokea?”
55 In that hour, said Jesus unto the multitudes: As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me? Daily in the temple, used I to sit teaching, and ye secured me not;
Wakati huo Yesu akauambia umati, “Je! Mmekuja na mapanga na marungu kunikamata kama mnyang'anyi? Kila siku nilikaa hekaluni nikifundisha, na hamkunishika!
56 But, this, hath, wholly, come to pass, that, the Scriptures of the prophets, may be fulfilled. Then, the disciples, all forsaking him, fled.
Lakini yote haya yametendeka ili Maandiko ya manabii yatimie.” Ndipo wanafunzi wake wakamwacha na kukimbia.
57 And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.
Wale waliomkamata Yesu alimpeleka kwa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu, mahali ambapo waandishi na wazee walikuwa wamekusanyika pamoja.
58 Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, —and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.
Lakini Petro alimfuata nyuma kwa mbali hadi katika ukumbi wa Kuhani Mkuu. Aliingia ndani na kukaa pamoja na walinzi aone kitakachotokea.
59 Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;
Basi wakuu wa makuhani na Baraza lote walikuwa wakitafuta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi ya Yesu, kusudi wapate kumuua.
60 and found not any, though many came forward as false-witnesses. At length, however, there came forward, two,
Ingawa walijitokeza mashahidi wengi, Lakini hawakupata sababu yoyote. Lakini baadaye mashahidi wawili walijitokeza mbele
61 and said: This, man said—I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.
na kusema, “Mtu huyu alisema, ''Naweza kulivunja hekalu la Mungu na kulijenga tena kwa siku tatu.”'
62 And the High-priest, arising, said unto him—Nothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness?
Kuhani Mkuu alisimama na kumwuliza, “Hauwezi kujibu? Hawa wanakushuhudia nini dhidi yako?”
63 But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou say—Whether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.
Lakini Yesu alikaa kimya. Kuhani Mkuu akamwambia, “Kama Mungu aishivyo, nakuamuru utwambie, kama wewe ni Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.”
64 Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you—Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
Yesu akamjibu, “Wewe mwenyewe umesema jambo hilo. Lakini nakuambia, toka sasa na kuendelea utamwona Mwana wa Adamu ameketi mkono wa kulia wenye Nguvu, na akija katika mawingu ya mbinguni.”
65 Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying—He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!
Ndipo Kuhani Mkuu alirarua mavazi yake na kusema, “Amekufuru! Je, twahitaji tena ushahidi wa nini? Angalia, tayari mmesikia akikufuru.
66 How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.
Je! Mnawaza nini? Wakajibu na kusema, “Anastahili kifo.”
67 Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly,
Kisha walimtemea mate usoni na kumpiga ngumi, na kumchapa makofi kwa mikono yao,
68 saying—Prophesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?
na kusema, “Tutabirie, wewe Kristo. Ni nani amekuchapa?”
69 Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, saying—Thou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.
Wakati huo Petro alikuwa amekaa nje katika ukumbi, na mtumishi wa kike alimwendea na kusema, “Wewe pia ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Galilaya.”
70 But, he, denied before all, saying—I know not what thou sayest.
Lakini alikana mbele yao wote, akisema, Sijui kitu unachosema.”
71 And, when he went out into the porch, another female saw him, and said unto them who were there—This, one was with Jesus the Nazarene.
Alipoenda nje ya lango, mtumishi mwingine wa kike alimwona na kuwaambia waliokuwepo hapo, “Mtu huyu pia alikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Nazareti.”
72 And, again, he denied, with an oath—I know not the man.
Akakana tena kwa kiapo, “Mimi simjui mtu huyu.”
73 And, after a little, the by-standers, coming forward, said unto Peter: Truly, thou also, art, from among them, for, thy very speech, maketh thee, manifest.
Muda mfupi baadaye, wale waliokuwa wamesimama karibu, walimwendea na kusema na Petro, “Kwa hakika wewe pia ni mmoja wao, kwa kuwa hata lafudhi yako inaonesha.”
74 Then, began he to be cursing and swearing—I know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.
Ndipo alianza kulaani na kuapa, “Mimi simfahamu mtu huyu,” na mara hiyo jogoo akawika.
75 And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having said—Before a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.
Petro alikumbuka maneno aliyoambiwa na Yesu, “Kabla jogoo hajawika utanikana mara tatu.”
