Mark 15
1 And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered [him] to Pilate;
Asubuhi na mapema, viongozi wa makuhani, pamoja na wazee, walimu wa sheria na Baraza lote, wakafikia uamuzi. Wakamfunga Yesu, wakamchukua na kumkabidhi kwa Pilato.
2 and Pilate questioned him, 'Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, 'Thou dost say [it].'
Pilato akamuuliza, “Je, wewe ndiye Mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akajibu, “Wewe umesema.”
3 And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, [but he answered nothing.]
Viongozi wa makuhani wakamshtaki kwa mambo mengi.
4 And Pilate again questioned him, saying, 'Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'
Pilato akamuuliza tena, “Je, huna la kujibu? Tazama ni mashtaka mangapi wanayaleta juu yako.”
5 and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.
Lakini Yesu hakujibu lolote, hivyo Pilato akashangaa.
6 And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;
Ilikuwa desturi wakati wa Sikukuu ya Pasaka kumfungulia mfungwa yeyote ambaye watu wangemtaka.
7 and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.
Wakati huo, mtu aliyeitwa Baraba alikuwa amefungwa gerezani pamoja na waasi wengine waliokuwa wametekeleza uuaji wakati wa maasi.
8 And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
Ule umati wa watu ukamjia Pilato na kumwomba awafanyie kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake.
9 and Pilate answered them, saying, 'Will ye [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'
Pilato akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafungulie huyu Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
10 for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;
Kwa maana yeye alitambua kuwa viongozi wa makuhani walikuwa wamemtia Yesu mikononi mwake kwa ajili ya wivu.
11 and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
Lakini viongozi wa makuhani wakauchochea ule umati wa watu wamwombe awafungulie Baraba badala yake.
12 And Pilate answering, again said to them, 'What, then, will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'
Pilato akawauliza tena, “Basi mnataka nifanye nini na huyu mtu mnayemwita Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
13 and they again cried out, 'Crucify him.'
Wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Msulubishe!”
14 And Pilate said to them, 'Why — what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, 'Crucify him;'
Pilato akawauliza, “Kwa nini? Amefanya kosa gani?” Lakini wao wakapiga kelele kwa nguvu zaidi, wakisema, “Msulubishe!”
15 and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus — having scourged [him] — that he might be crucified.
Pilato, akitaka kuuridhisha ule umati wa watu, akawafungulia Baraba. Naye baada ya kuamuru Yesu achapwe mijeledi, akamtoa ili asulubishwe.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
Askari wakampeleka Yesu hadi kwenye ukumbi wa ndani wa jumba la kifalme, ndio Praitorio, wakakusanya kikosi kizima cha askari.
17 and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put [it] on him,
Wakamvalisha Yesu joho la zambarau, wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika kichwani.
18 and began to salute him, 'Hail, King of the Jews.'
Wakaanza kumsalimu kwa dhihaka, “Salamu, mfalme wa Wayahudi!”
19 And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,
Wakampiga kwa fimbo ya mwanzi tena na tena kichwani na kumtemea mate. Wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakamsujudia kwa kumdhihaki.
20 and when they [had] mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.
Walipokwisha kumdhihaki, wakamvua lile joho la zambarau, wakamvika tena nguo zake. Kisha wakamtoa nje ili wakamsulubishe.
21 And they impress a certain one passing by — Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus — that he may bear his cross,
Mtu mmoja kutoka Kirene, jina lake Simoni, baba yao Aleksanda na Rufo, alikuwa anapita zake kuingia mjini kutoka shamba, nao wakamlazimisha kuubeba ule msalaba.
22 and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, 'Place of a skull;'
Kisha wakampeleka Yesu mpaka mahali palipoitwa Golgotha (maana yake ni Mahali pa Fuvu la Kichwa).
23 and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.
Nao wakampa divai iliyochanganywa na manemane, lakini hakuinywa.
24 And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;
Basi wakamsulubisha, nazo nguo zake wakagawana miongoni mwao kwa kuzipigia kura ili kuamua ni gani kila mtu ataichukua.
25 and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;
Ilikuwa yapata saa tatu asubuhi walipomsulubisha.
26 and the inscription of his accusation was written above — 'The King of the Jews.'
Tangazo likaandikwa la mashtaka dhidi yake lenye maneno haya: “Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
27 And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,
Pamoja naye walisulubiwa wanyangʼanyi wawili, mmoja upande wake wa kuume na mwingine upande wa kushoto. [
28 and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, 'And with lawless ones he was numbered.'
Nayo maandiko yakatimizwa, yale yasemayo, “Alihesabiwa pamoja na watenda dhambi.]”
29 And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, 'Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!
Watu waliokuwa wakipita njiani wakamtukana huku wakitikisa vichwa vyao na kusema, “Aha! Wewe ambaye utalivunja Hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu,
30 save thyself, and come down from the cross!'
basi shuka kutoka msalabani na ujiokoe mwenyewe!”
31 And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, 'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.
Vivyo hivyo, viongozi wa makuhani pamoja na walimu wa sheria wakamdhihaki miongoni mwao wakisema, “Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe!
32 The Christ! the king of Israel — let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.
Basi huyu Kristo, huyu Mfalme wa Israeli, ashuke sasa kutoka msalabani, ili tupate kuona na kuamini.” Wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye pia wakamtukana.
33 And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,
Ilipofika saa sita, giza liliifunika nchi yote hadi saa tisa.
34 and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, 'Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'
Mnamo saa tisa, Yesu akapaza sauti, akalia, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani?” (maana yake, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?”)
35 And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, 'Lo, Elijah he doth call;'
Baadhi ya watu waliokuwa wamesimama karibu waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Msikieni, anamwita Eliya.”
36 and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'
Mtu mmoja akaenda mbio, akachovya sifongo kwenye siki, akaiweka kwenye mwanzi na akampa Yesu ili anywe, akisema, “Basi mwacheni. Hebu tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumshusha kutoka hapo msalabani.”
37 And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
Kisha Yesu akatoa sauti kuu, akakata roho.
38 and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,
Pazia la Hekalu likachanika vipande viwili kuanzia juu hadi chini.
39 and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, 'Truly this man was Son of God.'
Basi yule jemadari aliyekuwa amesimama hapo mbele ya msalaba wa Yesu aliposikia ile sauti yake na kuona jinsi alivyokata roho, akasema, “Hakika mtu huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu!”
40 And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
Walikuwepo pia wanawake waliokuwa wakiangalia kwa mbali. Miongoni mwao walikuwepo Maria Magdalene, na Maria mama yao Yakobo mdogo na Yose, pia na Salome.
41 (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him, ) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
Hawa walifuatana na Yesu na kushughulikia mahitaji yake alipokuwa Galilaya. Pia walikuwepo wanawake wengine wengi waliokuwa wamekuja pamoja naye Yerusalemu.
42 And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,
Ilipofika jioni, kwa kuwa ilikuwa Siku ya Maandalizi, yaani siku moja kabla ya Sabato,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
Yosefu wa Arimathaya, mtu aliyeheshimiwa katika Baraza, na ambaye alikuwa anautarajia Ufalme wa Mungu, akamwendea Pilato kwa ujasiri na kumwomba mwili wa Yesu.
44 And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,
Pilato alikuwa akijiuliza kama Yesu alikuwa amekwisha kufa. Hivyo akamwita yule jemadari, akamuuliza iwapo Yesu alikuwa amekwisha kufa.
45 and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
Baada ya kupata habari kutoka kwa yule jemadari kwamba kweli amekwisha kufa, Pilato akampa Yosefu ruhusa ya kuuchukua huo mwili.
46 And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,
Hivyo Yosefu akanunua kitambaa cha kitani safi, akaushusha mwili kutoka msalabani, akaufunga katika kile kitambaa cha kitani, na kuuweka ndani ya kaburi lililochongwa kwenye mwamba. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kwenye ingilio la kaburi.
47 and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
Maria Magdalene na Maria mamaye Yose walipaona mahali pale alipolazwa.
