Mark 14
1 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him.
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 during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”
Lakini walisema, “Tusilifanye jambo hili wakati wa Sikukuu, maana watu wanaweza wakafanya ghasia.”
3 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over 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 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
Baadhi ya watu waliokuwepo pale walikuwa wakisemezana wao kwa wao, “Upotevu huu wote ni wa nini?
5 For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.
Mafuta haya yangeweza kuuzwa kwa zaidi ya dinari 300, na fedha hizo wakapewa maskini.” Wakamkemea vikali huyo mwanamke.
6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mwanamke? Mwacheni! Yeye amenitendea jambo zuri sana.
7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote na mnaweza kuwasaidia wakati wowote mnaotaka. Lakini mimi hamtakuwa nami siku zote.
8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
Huyu mwanamke amenitendea lile aliloweza. Ameumiminia mwili wangu manukato ili kuniandaa kwa maziko yangu.
9 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
Amin, nawaambia, mahali popote ulimwenguni ambapo Injili itahubiriwa, jambo hili alilolitenda huyu mwanamke litatajwa pia kwa ukumbusho wake.”
10 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
Kisha Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaenda kwa viongozi wa makuhani ili kumsaliti Yesu kwao.
11 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
Walifurahi sana kusikia jambo hili na wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Hivyo yeye akawa anatafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti.
12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may 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 He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. 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 enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, 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 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”
Atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani, kilichopambwa tena kilicho tayari. Tuandalieni humo.”
16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Wale wanafunzi wakaondoka na kwenda mjini, nao wakakuta kila kitu kama Yesu alivyowaambia. Hivyo wakaiandaa Pasaka.
17 When it was evening he came with the twelve.
Ilipofika jioni, Yesu akaja pamoja na wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
18 As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”
Walipoketi mezani wakila, Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, nawaambia, mmoja wenu atanisaliti, mmoja anayekula pamoja nami.”
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”
Wakaanza kuhuzunika na kumuuliza mmoja baada ya mwingine, “Je, ni mimi Bwana?”
20 He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips 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 goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better 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 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”
Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake, akisema, “Twaeni mle; huu ndio mwili wangu.”
23 He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
Kisha akakitwaa kikombe, akashukuru, akawapa, nao wote wakanywa kutoka humo.
24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
Akawaambia, “Hii ndiyo damu yangu ya agano, imwagikayo kwa ajili ya wengi.
25 Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
Amin, nawaambia, sitakunywa tena katika uzao wa mzabibu, hadi siku ile nitakapounywa mpya katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Walipokwisha kuimba wimbo, wakatoka wakaenda Mlima wa Mizeituni.
27 Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi nyote mtaniacha, kwa maana imeandikwa: “‘Nitampiga mchungaji, nao kondoo watatawanyika.’
28 However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia kwenda Galilaya.”
29 But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
Petro akasema, “Hata kama wengine wote watakuacha, mimi sitakuacha.”
30 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
Yesu akamwambia, “Amin, nakuambia; leo, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, wewe mwenyewe utanikana mara tatu.”
31 But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.
Lakini Petro akasisitiza zaidi, “Hata kama itabidi kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Nao wale wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
Wakaenda mahali paitwapo Gethsemane. Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa, nami niende nikaombe.”
33 He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
Kisha akawachukua pamoja naye Petro, Yakobo na Yohana. Akaanza kuhuzunika sana na kutaabika.
34 He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
Akawaambia, “Moyo wangu umejawa na huzuni kiasi cha kufa. Kaeni hapa na mkeshe.”
35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
Akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akaomba kwamba kama ingewezekana saa hiyo ya mateso imwondokee.
36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
Akasema, “Abba, Baba, mambo yote yawezekana kwako. Niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nipendavyo mimi, bali vile upendavyo wewe.”
37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you 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 you may not enter 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 Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
Akaenda tena kuomba, akisema maneno yale yale.
40 Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know what to answer him.
Aliporudi, akawakuta tena wamelala kwa sababu macho yao yalikuwa mazito. Nao hawakujua la kumwambia.
41 He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed 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 Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
Inukeni, twende zetu! Tazameni, msaliti wangu yuaja!”
43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the 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 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
Basi msaliti alikuwa amewapa hao watu ishara, kwamba: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye. Mkamateni, mkamchukue chini ya ulinzi.”
45 When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
Mara Yuda akamjia Yesu na kusema, “Rabi.” Akambusu.
46 They laid their hands on him and seized him.
Wale watu wakamkamata Yesu, wakamweka chini ya ulinzi.
47 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck 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 Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize 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 you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
Siku kwa siku nilikuwa pamoja nanyi nikifundisha Hekaluni, wala hamkunikamata. Lakini Maandiko sharti yatimie.”
50 They all left him, and fled.
Ndipo wanafunzi wake wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
51 A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
Kijana mmoja, ambaye hakuwa amevaa kitu isipokuwa alijitanda nguo ya kitani, alikuwa akimfuata Yesu. Walipomkamata,
52 but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
alikimbia uchi, akaliacha vazi lake.
53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
Wakampeleka Yesu kwa kuhani mkuu, nao viongozi wa makuhani wote, na wazee na walimu wa sheria wote wakakusanyika pamoja.
54 Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
Petro akamfuata kwa mbali, hadi uani kwa kuhani mkuu. Huko akaketi pamoja na walinzi, akiota moto.
55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and 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 gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
Wengi walitoa ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake, lakini maelezo yao hayakukubaliana.
57 Some stood up and gave false testimony 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 made without hands.’”
“Sisi tulimsikia akisema, ‘Mimi nitalibomoa Hekalu hili lililojengwa na wanadamu, na katika siku tatu nitajenga jingine ambalo halikujengwa na wanadamu.’”
59 Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
Lakini hata hivyo, ushahidi wao haukukubaliana.
60 The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”
Basi kuhani mkuu akasimama mbele yao, akamuuliza Yesu, “Je, wewe hutajibu? Ni ushahidi gani hawa watu wanauleta dhidi yako?”
61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you 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 Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”
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 The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?
Kuhani mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi zaidi?
64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
Ninyi mmesikia hayo makufuru. Uamuzi wenu ni gani?” Wote wakamhukumu kwamba anastahili kifo.
65 Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
Kisha baadhi ya watu wakaanza kumtemea mate; wakamfunga kitambaa machoni, wakampiga kwa ngumi na kumwambia, “Tabiri!” Walinzi wakamchukua na kumpiga makofi.
66 As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
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, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
Alipomwona Petro akiota moto, akamtazama sana, akamwambia, “Wewe pia ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu, Mnazareti.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “Sijui wala sielewi unalosema.” Naye akaondoka kuelekea kwenye njia ya kuingilia.
69 The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood 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 But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
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, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”
Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuwaapia, “Mimi simjui huyu mtu mnayesema habari zake!”
72 The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, 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.
