John 19
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him.
Basi, Pilato akaamuru Yesu achukuliwe, apigwe viboko.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head,
Nao askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamtia kichwani, wakamvika na joho la rangi ya zambarau.
3 and threw a purple robe about Him, and said, "Hail king of the Jews," and struck Him with their hands.
Wakawa wanakuja mbele yake na kusema: “Shikamoo, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Wakampiga makofi.
4 Pilate therefore came out again, and saith unto them, Behold I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.
Pilato akatoka tena nje, akawaambia, “Tazameni, namleta nje kwenu, mpate kujua kwamba mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake.”
5 So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, "Behold the man."
Basi, Yesu akatoka nje amevaa taji ya miiba na joho la rangi ya zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni! Mtu mwenyewe ni huyo.”
6 When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him." Pilate saith unto them, Take Him yourselves, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him.
Makuhani wakuu na walinzi walipomwona wakapaaza sauti: “Msulubishe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni basi, ninyi wenyewe mkamsulubishe, kwa maana mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake.”
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made himself the Son of God.
Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi tunayo Sheria, na kufuatana na Sheria hiyo, ni lazima afe, kwa sababu alijifanya kuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
8 Now when Pilate heard this he was the more afraid;
Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akazidi kuogopa.
9 and went into the palace again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? but Jesus gave him no answer.
Basi, akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwuliza Yesu, “Umetoka wapi wewe?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno.
10 Pilate therefore saith unto Him, Dost thou not speak to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
Hivyo Pilato akamwambia, “Husemi nami? Je, hujui kwamba ninayo mamlaka ya kukufungua na mamlaka ya kukusulubisha?”
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above; wherefore he, that delivered me up to thee, hath the greater sin.
Yesu akamjibu, “Hungekuwa na mamlaka yoyote juu yangu kama hungepewa na Mungu. Kwa sababu hiyo, yule aliyenikabidhi kwako ana dhambi kubwa zaidi.”
12 Upon this Pilate sought to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Cesar's friend; for whosoever maketh himself a king, opposeth Cesar.
Tangu hapo, Pilato akawa anatafuta njia ya kumwachilia, lakini Wayahudi wakapiga kelele: “Ukimwachilia huyu mtu, wewe si rafiki yake Kaisari; kila mtu anayejifanya kuwa Mfalme humpinga Kaisari!”
13 Therefore when Pilate heard this he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the tribunal, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
Basi, Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akamleta Yesu nje, akaketi juu ya kiti cha hukumu, mahali paitwapo: “Sakafu ya Mawe” (kwa Kiebrania, Gabatha).
14 (And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour.) And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king. But they cried out,
Ilikuwa yapata saa sita mchana, siku ya maandalio ya Pasaka. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Tazameni, Mfalme wenu!”
15 Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.
Wao wakapaaza sauti: “Mwondoe! Mwondoe! Msulubishe!” Makuhani wakuu wakajibu, “Sisi hatuna Mfalme isipokuwa Kaisari!”
16 Then delivered he Him therefore unto them to be crucified.
Basi, hapo Pilato akamtia Yesu mikononi mwao ili asulubiwe. Basi, wakamchukua Yesu.
17 And they took Jesus, and led Him away. And He went out, bearing his cross, into a place called the place of a scull, in Hebrew Golgotha:
Naye akatoka akiwa amejichukulia msalaba wake kwenda mahali paitwapo “Fuvu la Kichwa”, (kwa Kiebrania Golgotha).
18 where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha, na pamoja naye waliwasulubisha watu wengine wawili; mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine upande wake wa kushoto, naye Yesu katikati.
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross: and there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilato aliandika ilani akaiweka juu ya msalaba. Nayo ilikuwa imeandikwa hivi: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
20 Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
Wayahudi wengi waliisoma ilani hiyo, maana mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji. Tena ilani hiyo ilikuwa imeandikwa kwa Kiebrania, Kilatini, na Kigiriki.
21 And the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not "The king of the Jews," but that "He said, I am king of the Jews."
Basi, makuhani wakuu wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike: Mfalme wa Wayahudi, ila Yeye alisema, Mimi ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
Pilato akajibu, “Niliyoandika, nimeandika!”
23 And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, (and made four parts, to each soldier a part, ) and his coat. Now the coat had no seam in it, being woven from the top throughout:
Askari walipokwisha msulubisha Yesu, walizichukua nguo zake, wakazigawa mafungu manne, fungu moja kwa kila askari. Walichukua pia na kanzu yake; kanzu hiyo ilikuwa imefumwa kwa kipande kimoja tu, bila mshono.
24 they said therefore to one another, Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did.
Basi, hao askari wakashauriana: “Tusiipasue, ila tuipigie kura itakuwa ya nani.” Jambo hilo lilifanyika ili yatimie Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo: “Waligawana mavazi yangu, na nguo yangu wakaipigia kura.” Basi, ndivyo walivyofanya hao askari.
25 Now there stood near the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Karibu na msalaba wake Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada ya mama yake, Maria mke wa Kleopa, na Maria Magdalene.
26 Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son:
Yesu alipomwona mama yake, na karibu naye amesimama yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda, akamwambia mama yake: “Mama! Tazama, huyo ndiye mwanao.”
27 and then saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the same disciple took her to his own home.
Halafu akamwambia yule mwanafunzi: “Tazama, huyo ndiye mama yako.” Na tangu saa ile huyo mwanafunzi alimchukua akae nyumbani kwake.
28 After this Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
Yesu alijua kwamba yote yalikuwa yametimia; na, ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia, akasema, “Naona kiu.”
29 Now there was set a vessel there full of vinegar: so they filled a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it upon hyssop, held it up to his mouth.
Hapo palikuwa na bakuli limejaa siki. Basi, wakachovya sifongo katika hiyo siki, wakaitia juu ya ufito wa husopo, wakamwekea mdomoni.
30 And when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished. And reclining his head, He yielded up the ghost.
Yesu alipokwisha pokea hiyo siki, akasema, “Yametimia!” Kisha akainama kichwa, akatoa roho.
31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, because it was now the preparation, (for that sabbath-day was an high-day) desired Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
Ilikuwa Ijumaa, siku ya Maandalio. Kwa hiyo, kusudi miili isikae msalabani siku ya Sabato, maana siku hiyo ya Sabato ilikuwa siku kubwa, Wayahudi walimwomba Pilato miguu ya hao waliosulubiwa ivunjwe na miili yao iondolewe.
32 So the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with Him. But coming to Jesus,
Basi, askari walikwenda, wakaivunja miguu ya yule mtu wa kwanza na yule wa pili ambao walikuwa wamesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu.
33 as they saw He was dead already, they did not break his legs:
Lakini walipomfikia Yesu waliona kwamba alikwisha kufa, na hivyo hawakumvunja miguu.
34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
Lakini askari mmoja alimtoboa ubavuni kwa mkuki, na mara ikatoka damu na maji.
35 And he that saw it testifieth it, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye may believe.
(Naye aliyeona tukio hilo ametoa habari zake ili nanyi mpate kuamini. Na hayo aliyosema ni ukweli, tena yeye anajua kwamba anasema ukweli.)
36 For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of Him shall be broken.
Jambo hilo lilitendwa ili Maandiko Matakatifu yatimie: “Hapana hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on Him whom they have pierced.
Tena Maandiko mengine yanasema: “Watamtazama yule waliyemtoboa.”
38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but a concealed one for fear of the Jews) petitioned Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave: he came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.
Baada ya hayo, Yosefu, mwenyeji wa Armathaya, alimwomba Pilato ruhusa ya kuuchukua mwili wa Yesu. (Yosefu alikuwa mfuasi wa Yesu, lakini kwa siri, maana aliwaogopa viongozi wa Wayahudi). Basi, Pilato akamruhusu. Hivyo Yosefu alikwenda, akauondoa mwili wa Yesu.
39 And there came also Nicodemus (who at first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about an hundred pound weight.
Naye Nikodemo ambaye hapo awali alikuwa amemwendea Yesu usiku, akaja akiwa amechukua mchanganyiko wa manemane na ubani kiasi cha kilo thelathini.
40 So they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
Basi, waliutwaa mwili wa Yesu, wakaufunga sanda pamoja na manukato kufuatana na desturi ya Wayahudi katika kuzika.
41 Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which none had ever yet been laid.
Mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa na bustani, na katika bustani hiyo kulikuwa na kaburi jipya ambalo hakutiwa bado mtu yeyote ndani yake.
42 There therefore they laid Jesus, because of the Jews preparation-day; for the sepulchre was near.
Basi, kwa sababu ya shughuli za Wayahudi za maandalio ya Sabato, na kwa vile kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamweka Yesu humo.
