< John 19 >

1 At that time therefore took Pilate Jesus and flogged [Him].
Ndipo Pilato akamtoa Yesu akaamuru apigwe mijeledi.
2 And the soldiers having twisted together a crown of thorns put [it] of Him on the head and a robe purple cast around Him
Askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika Yesu kichwani. Wakamvalisha joho la zambarau.
3 (and they were coming up to Him *NO*) and were saying; Hail! O King of the Jews! And they were giving to Him blows with the palm.
Wakawa wanapanda pale alipo tena na tena, wakisema, “Salamu! Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Huku wakimpiga makofi usoni.
4 (And *no*) went forth (therefore *K*) again outside Pilate and he says to them; Behold I bring to you Him out, so that you may know that no [thing] guilt I find in Him.
Pilato akatoka tena nje akawaambia wale waliokusanyika, “Tazameni, namkabidhi Yesu kwenu kuwajulisha kwamba mimi sikumwona ana hatia.”
5 Went forth therefore Jesus outside wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe. And he says to them; (behold *N(k)O*) the man!
Kwa hiyo Yesu akatoka nje akiwa amevaa ile taji ya miiba na lile vazi la zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni, huyu hapa huyo mtu!”
6 When therefore saw Him the chief priests and the officers, they cried out saying; do crucify do crucify (him. *k*) Says to them Pilate; do take Him yourselves and do crucify [him]; I myself for no find in Him guilt.
Wale viongozi wa makuhani na maafisa walipomwona, wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Msulubishe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi mkamsulubishe, mimi sioni hatia juu yake.”
7 Answered to him the Jews; We ourselves a law have, and according to the law (of us *k*) He ought to die, because [the] Son of God Himself He made.
Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi tunayo sheria na kutokana na sheria hiyo, hana budi kufa kwa sababu yeye alijiita Mwana wa Mungu.”
8 When therefore heard Pilate this word [the] more he was afraid
Pilato aliposikia haya, akaogopa zaidi.
9 And he went into the Praetorium again and he says to Jesus; From where are You yourself? But Jesus an answer not did give to him.
Akaingia tena ndani ya jumba la kifalme, akamuuliza Yesu, “Wewe umetoka wapi?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu.
10 Says therefore to Him Pilate; To me myself not speak You? Surely You know that authority I have to release You and authority I have to crucify You?
Pilato akamwambia, “Wewe unakataa kuongea na mimi? Hujui ya kuwa nina mamlaka ya kukuachia huru au kukusulubisha?”
11 Answered (to him *N(K)O*) Jesus; Not you were having authority against Me none, only unless it were given to you from above; Because of this the [one] (having betrayed *N(k)O*) Me to you greater sin has.
Ndipo Yesu akamwambia, “Wewe hungekuwa na mamlaka yoyote juu yangu kama hungepewa kutoka juu. Kwa hiyo yeye aliyenitia mikononi mwako ana hatia ya dhambi iliyo kubwa zaidi.”
12 Out of this Pilate was seeking to release Him. but the Jews (cried out *N(k)O*) saying; If this [man] you shall release, not you are a friend of Caesar. Everyone a king (himself *N(k)O*) making speaks against Caesar.
Tangu wakati huo, Pilato akajitahidi kutafuta njia ya kumfungua Yesu, lakini Wayahudi wakazidi kupiga kelele wakisema, “Ukimwachia huyu mtu, wewe si rafiki wa Kaisari. Mtu yeyote anayedai kuwa mfalme anampinga Kaisari.”
13 Therefore Pilate having heard (words these *N(k)O*) brought out Jesus and sat down upon (of the *k*) judgment seat at a place being named [the] Stone Pavement, in Hebrew now Gabbatha.
Pilato aliposikia maneno haya akamtoa Yesu nje tena akaketi katika kiti chake cha hukumu, mahali palipoitwa Sakafu ya Jiwe, kwa Kiebrania paliitwa Gabatha
14 It was now [the] Day of Preparation of the Passover, [the] hour (was about *N(k)O*) [the] sixth. And he says to the Jews; Behold the king of you!
Basi ilikuwa siku ya Maandalio ya Pasaka, yapata kama saa sita hivi. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Huyu hapa mfalme wenu!”
15 (now *k*) They cried out (therefore *NO*) (concerning Him: *no*) away away! do crucify Him! Says to them Pilate; The King of you shall I crucify? Answered the chief priests; Not we have a king only except Caesar.
Wao wakapiga kelele, “Mwondoe! Mwondoe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawauliza, “Je, nimsulubishe mfalme wenu?” Wale viongozi wa makuhani wakamjibu, “Sisi hatuna mfalme mwingine ila Kaisari.”
16 Then therefore he delivered Him to them that He may be crucified. They took (therefore *N(K)O*) Jesus (and *K*) (they led [him] away; *K(o)*)
Ndipo Pilato akamkabidhi Yesu kwao ili wamsulubishe. Kwa hiyo askari wakamchukua Yesu.
17 And bearing (His own *N(k)O*) cross He went out to (the [place] *NK(o)*) being named of the Skull Place, (which *N(k)O*) is named in Hebrew Golgotha,
Yesu, akiwa ameubeba msalaba wake, akatoka kuelekea mahali palipoitwa Fuvu la Kichwa (kwa Kiebrania ni Golgotha).
18 where Him they crucified and with Him others two on this side and on that side, in between now Jesus.
Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha. Pamoja naye walisulubisha watu wengine wawili, mmoja kila upande wake, naye Yesu katikati.
19 Wrote then also a title Pilate and put [it] on the cross. It was now written: Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews.
Pilato akaamuru tangazo liandikwe na liwekwe juu kwenye msalaba wa Yesu, likasema: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
20 This therefore the title many read of the Jews, for near was the place of the city where was crucified Jesus; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.
Kwa kuwa mahali hapo Yesu aliposulubiwa palikuwa karibu na mjini, Wayahudi wengi walisoma maandishi haya yaliyokuwa yameandikwa kwa lugha za Kiebrania, Kiyunani na Kilatini.
21 Were saying therefore to Pilate the chief priests of the Jews; Not do write; The King of the Jews, but for He said; King I am of the Jews.
Viongozi wa makuhani wa Wayahudi wakapinga, wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike ‘Mfalme wa Wayahudi,’ bali andika kwamba mtu huyu alisema yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
22 Answered Pilate; What I have written, I have written.
Pilato akawajibu, “Nilichokwisha kuandika, nimeandika!”
23 The then soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took the garments of Him and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Was now the tunic seamless, from the top woven throughout all.
Askari walipokwisha kumsulubisha Yesu, walichukua nguo zake wakazigawa mafungu manne, kila askari fungu lake. Ila walikubaliana wasilichane lile vazi lake kwa maana lilikuwa halina mshono bali limefumwa tangu juu hadi chini.
24 They said therefore to one another; Not let us tear up it, but let us cast lots for it whose it will be; that the Scripture may be fulfilled what is being spoken: They divided the garments of Mine among themselves and for the clothing of Mine they cast a lot. The indeed therefore soldiers these things did,
Wakaambiana, “Tusilichane ila tulipigie kura ili kuamua ni nani atalichukua.” Hili lilitukia ili Maandiko yapate kutimizwa yale yaliyosema, “Wanagawana nguo zangu, na vazi langu wanalipigia kura.” Hayo ndiyo waliyoyafanya wale askari.
25 Had been standing however by the cross of Jesus the mother of Him and the sister of the mother of Him, Mary the [wife] of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
Wakati huo huo karibu na msalaba wa Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada wa mamaye, na Maria mke wa Klopa, na Maria Magdalene.
26 Jesus therefore having seen [His] mother and the disciple already standing by whom He was loving says to the mother (of him: *k*) Woman, (behold *N(k)O*) the son of you.
Yesu alipomwona mama yake mahali pale pamoja na yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda wamesimama karibu, akamwambia mama yake, “Mwanamke, huyo hapo ndiye mwanao,”
27 Then He says to the disciple; (behold *N(k)O*) the mother of you. And from that [very] hour took the disciple her to [his] own.
kisha akamwambia yule mwanafunzi, “Nawe huyo hapo ndiye mama yako.” Tangu wakati huo yule mwanafunzi akamchukua mama yake Yesu nyumbani kwake.
28 After this (knowing *NK(o)*) Jesus that now all things has been accomplished, so that may be fulfilled the Scripture, He says; I thirst.
Baada ya haya, Yesu hali akijua kuwa mambo yote yamemalizika, alisema ili kutimiza Maandiko, “Naona kiu.”
29 A vessel (therefore *K*) was set [there] of sour wine full. a sponge (therefore full of the *N(K)O*) sour wine (and *k*) on a hyssop stalk having put they brought it to the mouth.
Hapo palikuwa na bakuli lililojaa siki. Kwa hiyo wakachovya sifongo kwenye hiyo siki, wakaiweka kwenye ufito wa mti wa hisopo, wakampelekea mdomoni.
30 When then took the sour wine Jesus He said; It has been finished. And having bowed the head He yielded up the spirit.
Baada ya kuionja hiyo siki, Yesu akasema, “Imekwisha.” Akainamisha kichwa chake, akaitoa roho yake.
31 Therefore the Jews, since [the] Preparation was, so that not may remain on the cross the bodies on the Sabbath — was for a high day of that Sabbath — asked Pilate that may be broken their legs and they may be taken away.
Kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya Maandalio ya Pasaka, Wayahudi hawakutaka miili ibaki msalabani siku ya Sabato, hasa kwa kuwa hiyo Sabato ingekuwa Sikukuu. Wakamwomba Pilato aamuru miguu ya wale waliosulubiwa ivunjwe ili wafe haraka miili iondolewe kwenye misalaba.
32 Came therefore the soldiers and of the indeed first broke the legs and of the other which having been crucified with Him.
Kwa hiyo askari wakaenda wakavunja miguu ya mtu wa kwanza aliyesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu na yule mwingine pia.
33 to however Jesus having come, when they saw already Him having been dead, not they did break His legs,
Lakini walipomkaribia Yesu, wakaona ya kuwa amekwisha kufa, hivyo hawakuvunja miguu yake.
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear of His side pierced, and came out immediately blood and water.
Badala yake mmoja wa wale askari akamchoma mkuki ubavuni na mara pakatoka damu na maji.
35 And the [one] having seen has borne witness and true of him is the testimony And He knows that truth he is speaking, that (also *no*) you yourselves (may believe. *NK(o)*)
Mtu aliyeona mambo hayo ndiye alitoa ushuhuda, nao ushuhuda wake ni kweli. Anajua kuwa anasema kweli, naye anashuhudia ili pia nanyi mpate kuamini.
36 Took place for these things so that the Scripture may be fulfilled: Bone not one will be broken (from *o*) of Him.
Kwa maana mambo haya yalitukia ili Maandiko yapate kutimia, yale yasemayo, “Hakuna hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
37 And again another Scripture says: They will behold on the [One] they have pierced.
Tena Andiko lingine lasema, “Watamtazama yeye waliyemchoma.”
38 After then these things asked Pilate (*k*) Joseph from Arimathea being a disciple of Jesus — concealed however through the fear of the Jews — that he may take away the body of Jesus. and gave permission Pilate. He came therefore and he took away the body (of Him. *N(K)O*)
Baada ya mambo haya, Yosefu wa Arimathaya, aliyekuwa mfuasi wa Yesu, ingawa kwa siri kwa sababu ya kuwaogopa Wayahudi, alimwomba Pilato ruhusa ili kuuchukua mwili wa Yesu. Pilato alimruhusu, hivyo akaja, akauchukua.
39 Came now also Nicodemus the [one] having come to (*k*) (Him *N(K)O*) by night at the first bearing (a mixture *NK(O)*) of myrrh and aloes (about *N(k)O*) litras a hundred.
Naye Nikodemo, yule ambaye kwanza alimwendea Yesu usiku, akaja, akaleta mchanganyiko wa manemane na manukato, yenye uzito wa zaidi ya kilo thelathini
40 They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it (in *o*) in linen cloths with the spices, even as [the] custom is among the Jews to prepare for burial.
Wakauchukua mwili wa Yesu, wakaufunga katika sanda ya kitani safi pamoja na yale manukato, kama ilivyokuwa desturi ya Wayahudi.
41 There was now in the place where He was crucified a garden and in the garden a tomb new in which not yet no [one] (was *no*) ([already] laid. *N(k)O*)
Basi palikuwa na bustani karibu na mahali pale aliposulubiwa, na pale ndani ya ile bustani palikuwa na kaburi jipya, ambalo halikuwa limezikiwa mtu bado.
42 There therefore on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because near was the tomb, they laid Jesus.
Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya Wayahudi ya Maandalio, nalo kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamzika Yesu humo.
