John 19
1 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],
Ndipo Pilato akamtoa Yesu akaamuru apigwe mijeledi.
2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,
Askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika Yesu kichwani. Wakamvalisha joho la zambarau.
3 and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.
Wakawa wanapanda pale alipo tena na tena, wakisema, “Salamu! Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Huku wakimpiga makofi usoni.
4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'
Pilato akatoka tena nje akawaambia wale waliokusanyika, “Tazameni, namkabidhi Yesu kwenu kuwajulisha kwamba mimi sikumwona ana hatia.”
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, 'Lo, 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, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, 'Take ye him — ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'
Wale viongozi wa makuhani na maafisa walipomwona, wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Msulubishe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi mkamsulubishe, mimi sioni hatia juu yake.”
7 the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'
Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi tunayo sheria na kutokana na sheria hiyo, hana budi kufa kwa sababu yeye alijiita Mwana wa Mungu.”
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,
Pilato aliposikia haya, akaogopa zaidi.
9 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, 'Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.
Akaingia tena ndani ya jumba la kifalme, akamuuliza Yesu, “Wewe umetoka wapi?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu.
10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, 'To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'
Pilato akamwambia, “Wewe unakataa kuongea na mimi? Hujui ya kuwa nina mamlaka ya kukuachia huru au kukusulubisha?”
11 Jesus answered, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'
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 From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak 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 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without — and he sat down upon the tribunal — to a place called, 'Pavement,' and in Hebrew, 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 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!'
Basi ilikuwa siku ya Maandalio ya Pasaka, yapata kama saa sita hivi. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Huyu hapa mfalme wenu!”
15 and they cried out, 'Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, 'Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, 'We have no king 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 up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,
Ndipo Pilato akamkabidhi Yesu kwao ili wamsulubishe. Kwa hiyo askari wakamchukua Yesu.
17 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;
Yesu, akiwa ameubeba msalaba wake, akatoka kuelekea mahali palipoitwa Fuvu la Kichwa (kwa Kiebrania ni Golgotha).
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.
Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha. Pamoja naye walisulubisha watu wengine wawili, mmoja kila upande wake, naye Yesu katikati.
19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, 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 title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.
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 The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king 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 Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.'
Pilato akawajibu, “Nilichokwisha kuandika, nimeandika!”
23 The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,
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, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.
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 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the 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 standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'
Yesu alipomwona mama yake mahali pale pamoja na yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda wamesimama karibu, akamwambia mama yake, “Mwanamke, huyo hapo ndiye mwanao,”
27 afterward he saith to the disciple, 'Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].
kisha akamwambia yule mwanafunzi, “Nawe huyo hapo ndiye mama yako.” Tangu wakati huo yule mwanafunzi akamchukua mama yake Yesu nyumbani kwake.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, 'I thirst;'
Baada ya haya, Yesu hali akijua kuwa mambo yote yamemalizika, alisema ili kutimiza Maandiko, “Naona kiu.”
29 a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his 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, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.
Baada ya kuionja hiyo siki, Yesu akasema, “Imekwisha.” Akainamisha kichwa chake, akaitoa roho yake.
31 The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one, ) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they 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 The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,
Kwa hiyo askari wakaenda wakavunja miguu ya mtu wa kwanza aliyesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu na yule mwingine pia.
33 and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;
Lakini walipomkaribia Yesu, wakaona ya kuwa amekwisha kufa, hivyo hawakuvunja miguu yake.
34 but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;
Badala yake mmoja wa wale askari akamchoma mkuki ubavuni na mara pakatoka damu na maji.
35 and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.
Mtu aliyeona mambo hayo ndiye alitoa ushuhuda, nao ushuhuda wake ni kweli. Anajua kuwa anasema kweli, naye anashuhudia ili pia nanyi mpate kuamini.
36 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;'
Kwa maana mambo haya yalitukia ili Maandiko yapate kutimia, yale yasemayo, “Hakuna hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
37 and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'
Tena Andiko lingine lasema, “Watamtazama yeye waliyemchoma.”
38 And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,
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 and Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.
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 with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of 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 and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;
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, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya Wayahudi ya Maandalio, nalo kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamzika Yesu humo.
