Matthew 27
1 And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;
Muda wa asubuhi ulipofika, wakuu wote wa makuhani na wazee wa watu walikula njama dhidi ya Yesu wapate kumuua.
2 and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
Walimfunga, walimwongoza, na kumfikisha kwa Liwali Pilato.
3 Then Judas — he who delivered him up — having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,
Kisha wakati Yuda, ambaye alikuwa amemsaliti, aliona kwamba Yesu amekwisha kuhukumiwa, alijuta na kurudisha vipande thelathini vya fedha kwa mkuu wa makuhani na wazee,
4 'I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;' and they said, 'What — to us? thou shalt see!'
na akasema, “Nimefanya dhambi kwa kuisaliti damu isiyo na hatia.” Lakini wakajibu, “Inatuhusu nini sisi? Yaangalie hayo mwenyewe.”
5 and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.
Kisha alivirusha chini vile vipande vya fedha katika hekalu, na kuondoka zake na kujinyonga mwenyewe.
6 And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, 'It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;'
Mkuu wa makuhani alivichukua vile vipande vya fedha na kusema, “Si halali kuiweka fedha hii katika hazina, kwa sababu ni gharama ya damu.”
7 and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;
Walijadiliana kwa pamoja na fedha ikatumika kununulia shamba la mfinyazi la kuzika wageni.
8 therefore was that field called, 'Field of blood,' unto this day.
Kwa sababu hii shamba hilo limekuwa likiitwa, “Shamba la damu” hadi leo hii.
9 Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,
Kisha lile neno lililokuwa limenenwa na nabii Yeremia lilitimia, kusema, “Walitwaa vipande thelathini vya fedha, gharama iliyopangwa na watu wa Israel kwa ajili yake,
10 and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.'
na waliitumia kwa shamba la mfinyanzi, kama Bwana alivyokuwa amenielekeza.”
11 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, 'Art thou the king of the Jews!' And Jesus said to him, 'Thou sayest.'
Sasa Yesu alisimama mbele ya liwali, na liwali akamwuliza, “Je! Wewe ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu alimjibu, “Wewe wasema hivyo.”
12 And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,
Lakini wakati aliposhitakiwa na wakuu wa makuhani na wazee, hakujibu chochote.
13 then saith Pilate to him, 'Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?'
Kisha Pilato alimwambia, “Hujayasikia mashitaka yote dhidi yako?”
14 And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.
Lakini hakumjibu hata neno moja, hivyo liwali alijawa na mshangao.
15 And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,
Sasa katika sikukuu ilikuwa desturi ya liwali kumfungua mfungwa mmoja anayechaguliwa na umati.
16 and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,
Wakati huo walikuwa na mfungwa sugu jina lake Baraba.
17 they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'
Hivyo wakati walipokuwa wamekusanyika pamoja, Pilato aliwauliza, “Ni nani mnataka tumfungue kwa ajili yenu?” Baraba au Yesu anayeitwa Kristo?”
18 for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.
Kwa sababu alijua kwamba wamekwisha kumkamata kwa sababu ya chuki.
19 And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.'
Wakati alipokuwa akiketi kwenye kiti chake cha hukumu, mke wake alimtumia neno na kusema, “Usitende jambo lolote kwa mtu huyo asiye na hatia. Kwani nimeteswa mno hata leo katika ndoto kwa sababu yake.”
20 And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;
Ndipo wakuu wa makuhani na wazee waliwashawishi makutano wamwombe Baraba, na Yesu auawe.
21 and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will ye [that] I shall release to you?' And they said, 'Barabbas.'
Liwali aliwauliza, “Ni yupi kati ya wawili mnataka mimi nimwachie kwenu?” Walisema, “Baraba.”
22 Pilate saith to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!'
Pilato akawaambia, “Nimtendee nini Yesu anayeitwa Kristo?” Wote wakajibu, “Msulibishe”
23 And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.'
Naye akasema, “Kwa nini, ni kosa gani ametenda?” Lakini walizidi kupaza sauti hata juu mno, “Msulibishe.”
24 And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;'
Hivyo wakati Pilato alipoona hawezi kufanya lolote, lakini badala yake vurugu zilikuwa zimeanza, alitwaa maji akanawa mikono yake mbele ya umati, na kusema, “Mimi sina hatia juu ya damu ya mtu huyu asiye na hatia. Yaangalieni haya wenyewe.”
25 and all the people answering said, 'His blood [is] upon us, and upon our children!'
Watu wote wakasema, “Damu yake iwe juu yetu na watoto wetu.”
26 Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may be crucified;
Kisha akamfungulia Baraba kwao, lakini alimpiga mijeredi Yesu na kumkabidhi kwao kwenda kusulibiwa.
27 then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;
Kisha askari wa liwali wakamchukua Yesu mpaka Praitorio na kundi kubwa la maaskari wote wakamkusanyika.
28 and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,
Wakamvua nguo zake na kumvika kanzu ya rangi nyekundu.
29 and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, 'Hail, the king of the Jews.'
Kisha wakatengeneza taji ya miiba na kuiweka juu ya kichwa chake, na walimwekea mwanzi katika mkono wake wa kuume. Walipiga magoti mbele yake na kumkejeri, wakisema, “Salamu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
30 And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;
Na walimtemea mate, na walitwaa mwanzi na kumpiga kichwani.
31 and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].
Wakati walipokuwa wakimkejeri, walimvua ile kanzu na kumvika nguo zake, na kumwongoza kwenda kumsulibisha.
32 And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;
Walipotoka nje, walimwona mtu kutoka Krene jina lake Simeoni, ambaye walimlazimisha kwenda nao ili apate kuubeba msalaba wake.
33 and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,
Walipofika mahali paitwapo Galigotha, maana yake, “Eneo la fuvu la Kichwa.”
34 they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.
Walimpa siki iliyochanganywa na nyongo anywe. Lakini alipoionja, hakuweza kuinywa.
35 And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'
Wakati walipokuwa wamemsulibisha, waligawana mavazi yake kwa kupiga kura.
36 and sitting down, they were watching him there,
Na waliketi na kumwangalia.
37 and they put up over his head, his accusation written, 'This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.'
Juu ya kichwa chake waliweka mashitaka dhidi yake yakisomeka, “Huyu ni Yesu, mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
38 Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,
Wanyang'anyi wawili walisulibiwa pamoja naye, mmoja upande wa kulia wake na mwingine wa kushoto.
39 and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,
Wale waliokuwa wakipita walimdhihaki, wakitikisa vichwa vyao
40 and saying, 'Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'
na kusema, “Wewe uliyekuwa unataka kuliharibu hekalu na kulijenga katika siku tatu, jiokoe mwenyewe! Kama ni Mwana wa Mungu, shuka chini utoke msalabani!”
41 And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
Katika hali ile ile wakuu wa makuhani walikuwa wakimkashifu, pamoja na waandishi na wazee, na kusema,
42 'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;
“Aliokoa wengine, lakini hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe. Yeye ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi. Na ashuke chini toka msalabani, ndipo tutakapomwamini.
43 he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;'
Alimtumaini Mungu. Acha Mungu amwokoe sasa kama anataka, kwa sababu alisema, 'Mimi ni Mwana wa Mungu.'”
44 with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.
Na wale wanyang'anyi waliokuwa wamesulibiwa pamoja naye pia walisema maneno ya kumdhihaki.
45 And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,
Sasa kutoka saa sita kulikuwa na giza katika nchi yote hadi saa tisa.
46 and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'
Ilipofika saa tisa, Yesu akalia kwa sauti kuu, “Eloi, Eloi, lama thabakithan?” akimaanisha, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, kwa nini umeniacha?”
47 And certain of those standing there having heard, said — 'Elijah he doth call;'
Wakati huo baadhi yao waliokuwa wamesimama pale walisikia, wakasema, “Anamwita Eliya.”
48 and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving him to drink,
Mara moja mmoja wao alikimbia kuchukua sifongo na kuijaza kinywaji kichungu, akaiweka juu ya mti na kumpa apate kunywa.
49 but the rest said, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.'
Nao waliosalia wakasema, “Mwacheni peke yake, acheni tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumwokoa.”
50 And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;
Kisha Yesu akalia tena kwa sauti kuu na akaitoa roho yake.
51 and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,
Tazama, Pazia la hekalu lilipasuka sehemu mbili kutokea juu hadi chini. Na ardhi ikatetemeka na miamba ikapasuka vipande.
52 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,
Makaburi yalifunguka, na miili ya watakatifu wengi waliokuwa wamelala usingizi walifufuliwa.
53 and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
Walitoka kwenye makaburi baada ya ufufuo wake, waliingia mji mtakatifu, na wakaonekana na wengi.
54 And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'
Basi yule akida na wale ambao walikuwa wakimtazama Yesu waliona tetemeko na mambo yaliyokuwa yakitokea, walijawa na woga sana na kusema, “Kweli huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
55 And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,
Wanawake wengi waliokuwa wakimfuata Yesu kutoka Galilaya ili kumhudumia walikuwa pale wakitazama kutoka kwa mbali.
56 among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Miongini mwao walikuwa Mariamu Magdarena, Mariamu mama yake Yakobo na Joseph, na mama wa watoto wa Zebedayo
57 And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,
Ilipofika jioni, alikuja mtu tajiri kutoka Arimathayo, aliyeitwa Yusufu, ambaye pia alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu.
58 he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.
Alimwendea Pilato na kuuomba mwili wa Yesu. Kisha Pilato aliagiza apate kupewa.
59 And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,
Yusufu aliuchukua mwili akaufunga na nguo ya sufi safi,
60 and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;
na akaulaza katika kaburi jipya lake alilokuwa amelichonga mwambani. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kubwa likafunika mlango wa kaburi na akaenda zake.
61 and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.
Mariamu Magdalena na Mariamu mwingine walikuwa pale, wamekaa kuelekea kaburi.
62 And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,
Siku iliyofuata ambayo ilikuwa siku baada ya maandalio, wakuu wa makuhani na Mafarisayo walikusanyika pamoja kwa Pilato.
63 saying, 'Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;
Wakamwambia, “Bwana, tunakumbuka kuwa wakati yule mdanganyifu alipokuwa hai, alisema, 'Baada ya siku tatu atafufuka tena.'
64 command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.'
Kwahiyo, agiza kwamba kaburi lilindwe salama mpaka siku ya tatu. Vinginevyo, wanafunzi wake wanaweza kuja kumwiba na kusema kwa watu, 'Amefufuka kutoka wafu.' Na udanganyifu wa mwisho utakuwa mbaya kuliko ule wa kwanza.”
65 And Pilate said to them, 'Ye have a watch, go away, make secure — as ye have known;'
Pilato akawaambia, “Chukueni walinzi. Nendeni mkafanye hali ya usalama kama muwezavyo.”
66 and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.
Hivyo walikwenda na kufanya kaburi kuwa salama, jiwe liligongwa mhuri na kuweka walinzi.
