Luke 22
1 It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
Basi Sikukuu ya Mkate Usiyotiwa Chachu ilikuwa imekaribia, ambayo inaitwa Pasaka.
2 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
Makuhani wakuu na waandishi wakajadiliana namna ya kumuua Yesu, kwa sababu waliwaogopa watu.
3 Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
Shetani akaingia ndani ya Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi Kumi na mbili.
4 Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
Yuda akaenda kujadiliana na wakuu wa makuhani na wakuu namna ambavyo atamkabidhi Yesu kwao.
5 They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
Walifurahi, na kukubaliana kumpa fedha.
6 So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
Yeye aliridhia, na alitafuta fursa ya kumkabidhi Yesu kwao mbali na kundi la watu.
7 Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
Siku ya mikate isiyotiwa chachu ikafika, ambapo kondoo wa Pasaka lazima atolewe.
8 So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohana, akasema, “Nendeni mkatuandalie chakula cha Pasaka ili tuje tukile.”
9 They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
Wakamuuliza, “Wapi unataka tuyafanyie hayo maandalizi?”
10 He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
Akawajibu, “Sikilizeni, mtakapokuwa mmeingia mjini, mwanamume ambaye amebeba mtungi wa maji atakutana na ninyi. Mfuateni kwenye nyumba ambayo ataingia.
11 tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
Kisha mwambieni bwana wa nyumba, “Mwalimu anakwambia, “Kiko wapi chumba cha wageni, mahali ambapo nitakula Pasaka na wanafunzi wangu?”
12 He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
Atawaonyesha chumba cha ghorofani ambacho kiko tayari. Fanyeni maandalizi humo.”
13 So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
Hivyo wakaenda, na wakakuta kila kitu kama alivyowaambia. Kisha wakaandaa chakula cha Pasaka.
14 When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
Muda ulipofika alikaa na wale mitume.
15 He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
Kisha akawaambia, “Nina shauku kubwa ya kula sikukuu hii ya Pasaka na ninyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.
16 I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
Kwa maana nawaambieni, sitakula tena mpaka itakapotimizwa katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
17 Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
Kisha Yesu akachukua kikombe, na alipokwisha kushukuru, akasema, “Chukueni hiki, na mgawane ninyi kwa ninyi.
18 I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
Kwa maana nawaambia, sitakunywa tena mzao wa mzabibu, mpaka ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”
19 Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
Kisha akachukua mkate, na alipokwisha kushukuru, akaumega, na kuwapa, akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu ambao umetolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka mimi.”
20 Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
Akachukua kikombe vivyo hivyo baada ya chakula cha usiku akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya katika damu yangu, ambayo imemwagika kwa ajili yenu.
21 But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
Lakini angalieni. Yule anisalitie yuko pamoja nami mezani.
22 [It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu kwa kweli aenda zake kama ilivyokwisha amuliwa. Lakini ole kwa mtu yule ambaye kupitia yeye Mwana wa Adamu asalitiwa!”
23 Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
Wakaanza kuulizana wao kwa wao, nani miongoni mwao ambaye angefanya jambo hili.
24 [The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
Kisha yakatokea mabishano katikati yao kwamba ni nani anaye dhaniwa kuwa mkuu kuliko wote.
25 So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
Akawaambia, “Wafalme wa watu wa mataifa wana ubwana juu yao, na wale mwenye mamlaka juu yao wanaitwa waheshimiwa watawala.
26 But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
Lakini haitakiwi kabisa kuwa hivi kwenu ninyi. Badala yake, acha yule ambaye ni mkubwa kati yenu awe kama mdogo. Na yule ambaye ni wa muhimu sana awe kama atumikaye.
27 Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
Kwa sababu yupi mkubwa, yule akaaye mezani au yule anayetumika? Je si yule aketie mezani? Na mimi bado ni kati yenu kama atumikaye.
28 You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
Lakini ninyi ndio ambao mmeendelea kuwa nami katika majaribu yangu.
29 So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
Nawapa ninyi ufalme, kama vile Baba alivyonipa mimi ufalme,
30 so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
kwamba mpate kula na kunywa mezani kwangu kwenye ufalme wangu. Na mtakaa kwenye viti vya enzi mkizihukumu kabila kumi na mbili za Israel.
31 “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
Simoni, Simoni, fahamu kwamba, Shetani ameomba awapate ili awapepete kama ngano.
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
Lakini nimekuombea, kwamba imani yako isishindwe. Baada ya kuwa umerudi tena, waimarishe ndugu zako.”
33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, niko tayari kwenda na wewe gerezani na hata katika mauti.”
34 Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
Yesu akajibu, “Nakwambia, Petro, Jogoo hatawika leo, kabla hujanikana mara tatu kwamba unanijua.”
35 Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Nilipowapeleka ninyi bila mfuko, kikapu cha vyakula, ua viatu, je mlipungukiwa na kitu?” Wakajibu “Hakuna.”
36 Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
Kisha akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, kila mwenye mfuko, na auchukue pamoja na kikapu cha vyakula. Yule ambaye hana upanga imempasa auze joho lake anunue mmoja.
37 Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
Kwa sababu nawaambia, yote ambayo yameandikwa kwa ajili yangu lazima yatimilike, 'Na alichukuliwa kama mtu ambaye anavunja torati.' Kwa sababu kile kilichotabiriwa kwa ajili yangu kinatimizwa.”
38 [One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
Kisha wakasema, “Bwana, tazama! Hizi hapa panga mbili.” Na akawaambia”yatosha.”
39 As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
Baada ya chakula cha usiku, Yesu aliondoka, kama ambavyo amekuwa akifanya mara kwa mara, akaenda mlima wa Mzeituni, na wanafunzi wakamfuata.
40 When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
Walipofika, aliwaambia, “Ombeni kwamba msiingie majaribuni.”
41 Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
Akaenda mbali na wao kama mrusho wa jiwe, akapiga magoti akaomba,
42 “[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
akisema, “Baba, kama unataka, niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nitakavyo mimi, lakini mapenzi yako yafanyike.”
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
Kisha malaika kutoka mbinguni akamtokea, akamtia nguvu.
44 He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
Akiwa katika kuugua, akaomba kwa dhati zaidi, na jasho lake likawa kama matone makubwa ya damu yakidondoka chini.
45 When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
Wakati alipoamka kutoka katika maombi yake, alikuja kwa wanafunzi, na akawakuta wamelala kwa sababu ya huzuni yao,
46 He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
na akawauliza, “Kwanini mnalala? Amkeni muombe, kwamba msiingie majaribuni.”
47 While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
Wakati alipokuwa bado akiongea, tazama, kundi kubwa la watu likatokea, na Yuda, mmoja wa mitume kumi na wawili akiwaongoza. Akaja karibu na Yesu ili ambusu,
48 Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda, je unamsaliti Mwana wa Adamu kwa busu?”
49 When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
Wakati wale waliokuwa karibu na Yesu walipoona hayo yanayotokea, wakasema, “Bwana, je tuwapige kwa upanga?”
50 One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
Kisha mmoja wao akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, akamkata sikio lake la kulia.
51 But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
Yesu akasema, “hii inatosha. Na akagusa sikio lake, akamponya.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
Yesu akasema kwa kuhani mkuu, na kwa wakuu wa hekalu, na kwa wazee waliokuja kinyume chake, “Je mnakuja kana kwamba mnakuja kupambana na mnyang'anyi, na marungu na mapanga?
Nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi siku zote kwenye hekalu, hamkuweka mikono yenu juu yangu. Lakini hii ni saa yako, na mamlaka ya giza.”
54 They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
Wakamkamata, wakamuongoza, wakamleta nyumbani mwa kuhani mkuu. Lakini Petro akamfuatilia kwa mbali.
55 They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
Baada ya kuwa wamewasha moto katika ule uwanda wa ndani na walipokwisha kukaa chini pamoja, Petro akakaa katikati yao.
56 As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
Mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamuona Petro alipokuwa amekaa katika mwanga utokanao na moto, akamtazama akamwambia, “Huyu mtu pia alikuwa pamoja naye.”
57 But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “mwanamke, mimi simjui.”
58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
Baada ya muda kidogo, mtu mwingine akamuona akasema “Wewe pia ni mmoja wao”. Lakini Petro akajibu, “Mwanaume, mimi siyo.”
59 About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
Baada ya kama saa moja hivi, mwanaume mmoja akasisitiza akasema, “Kweli kabisa huyu mtu pia alikuwa pamoja naye, maana ni Mgalilaya.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Lakini Petro akasema, “Mwanaume, sijui usemalo.” Na mara, wakati akiongea, jogoo akawika.
61 The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
Akageuka, Bwana akamtazama Petro. Na Petro akalikumbuka neno la Bwana, pale alipomwambia, “Kabla ya jogoo kuwika leo, utanikana mimi mara tatu.”
62 And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
Akienda nje, Petro akalia kwa uchungu mwingi.
63 The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
Kisha wale wanaume waliokuwa wakimlinda Yesu, wakamdhihaki na kumpiga.
64 They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
Baada ya kumfunika macho, wakamuuliza, wakisema, “Tabiri! Ni nani aliyekupiga?”
65 They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
Wakaongea mambo mengine mengi kinyume cha Yesu na kumkufuru yeye.
66 At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
Mara ilipokuwa asubuhi, wazee wa watu walikusanyika pamoja, wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi. Wakampeleka kwenye Baraza,
67 “If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
wakisema, “Kama wewe ni Kristo, tuambie.” Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Kama nikiwaambia, hamtaniamini,
68 If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
na kama nikiwauliza hamtanijibu.”
69 But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
Lakini kuanzia sasa na kuendelea, Mwana wa Adamu atakuwa amekaa mkono wa kuume wa nguvu ya Mungu.”
70 Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
Wote wakasema, “Kwa hiyo wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu?” Na Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi mmesema mimi ndiye.”
71 Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
Wakasema, “Kwa nini bado tunahitaji tena ushahidi? Kwa sababu sisi wenyewe tumesikia kutoka katika kinywa chake mwenyewe.”
