Yohana 19
1 Ndipo Pilato akamtoa Yesu akaamuru apigwe mijeledi.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him].
2 Askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika Yesu kichwani. Wakamvalisha joho la zambarau.
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3 Wakawa wanapanda pale alipo tena na tena, wakisema, “Salamu! Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Huku wakimpiga makofi usoni.
And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
4 Pilato akatoka tena nje akawaambia wale waliokusanyika, “Tazameni, namkabidhi Yesu kwenu kuwajulisha kwamba mimi sikumwona ana hatia.”
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5 Kwa hiyo Yesu akatoka nje akiwa amevaa ile taji ya miiba na lile vazi la zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni, huyu hapa huyo mtu!”
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!
6 Wale viongozi wa makuhani na maafisa walipomwona, wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Msulubishe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi mkamsulubishe, mimi sioni hatia juu yake.”
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify [him]: for I find no fault in him.
7 Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi tunayo sheria na kutokana na sheria hiyo, hana budi kufa kwa sababu yeye alijiita Mwana wa Mungu.”
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 Pilato aliposikia haya, akaogopa zaidi.
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9 Akaingia tena ndani ya jumba la kifalme, akamuuliza Yesu, “Wewe umetoka wapi?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu.
And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilato akamwambia, “Wewe unakataa kuongea na mimi? Hujui ya kuwa nina mamlaka ya kukuachia huru au kukusulubisha?”
Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 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.”
Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all] against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
12 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.”
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cæsar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar.
13 Pilato aliposikia maneno haya akamtoa Yesu nje tena akaketi katika kiti chake cha hukumu, mahali palipoitwa Sakafu ya Jiwe, kwa Kiebrania paliitwa Gabatha
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Basi ilikuwa siku ya Maandalio ya Pasaka, yapata kama saa sita hivi. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Huyu hapa mfalme wenu!”
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15 Wao wakapiga kelele, “Mwondoe! Mwondoe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawauliza, “Je, nimsulubishe mfalme wenu?” Wale viongozi wa makuhani wakamjibu, “Sisi hatuna mfalme mwingine ila Kaisari.”
But they cried out, 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 Cæsar.
16 Ndipo Pilato akamkabidhi Yesu kwao ili wamsulubishe. Kwa hiyo askari wakamchukua Yesu.
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led [him] away.
17 Yesu, akiwa ameubeba msalaba wake, akatoka kuelekea mahali palipoitwa Fuvu la Kichwa (kwa Kiebrania ni Golgotha).
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called [the place] of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha. Pamoja naye walisulubisha watu wengine wawili, mmoja kila upande wake, naye Yesu katikati.
Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 Pilato akaamuru tangazo liandikwe na liwekwe juu kwenye msalaba wa Yesu, likasema: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Kwa kuwa mahali hapo Yesu aliposulubiwa palikuwa karibu na mjini, Wayahudi wengi walisoma maandishi haya yaliyokuwa yameandikwa kwa lugha za Kiebrania, Kiyunani na Kilatini.
This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, [and] Greek, [and] Latin.
21 Viongozi wa makuhani wa Wayahudi wakapinga, wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike ‘Mfalme wa Wayahudi,’ bali andika kwamba mtu huyu alisema yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilato akawajibu, “Nilichokwisha kuandika, nimeandika!”
Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 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.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also [his] coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 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.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Wakati huo huo karibu na msalaba wa Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada wa mamaye, na Maria mke wa Klopa, na Maria Magdalene.
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Yesu alipomwona mama yake mahali pale pamoja na yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda wamesimama karibu, akamwambia mama yake, “Mwanamke, huyo hapo ndiye mwanao,”
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 kisha akamwambia yule mwanafunzi, “Nawe huyo hapo ndiye mama yako.” Tangu wakati huo yule mwanafunzi akamchukua mama yake Yesu nyumbani kwake.
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home.]
28 Baada ya haya, Yesu hali akijua kuwa mambo yote yamemalizika, alisema ili kutimiza Maandiko, “Naona kiu.”
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Hapo palikuwa na bakuli lililojaa siki. Kwa hiyo wakachovya sifongo kwenye hiyo siki, wakaiweka kwenye ufito wa mti wa hisopo, wakampelekea mdomoni.
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put [it] to his mouth.
30 Baada ya kuionja hiyo siki, Yesu akasema, “Imekwisha.” Akainamisha kichwa chake, akaitoa roho yake.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 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.
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day, ) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
32 Kwa hiyo askari wakaenda wakavunja miguu ya mtu wa kwanza aliyesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu na yule mwingine pia.
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 Lakini walipomkaribia Yesu, wakaona ya kuwa amekwisha kufa, hivyo hawakuvunja miguu yake.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 Badala yake mmoja wa wale askari akamchoma mkuki ubavuni na mara pakatoka damu na maji.
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 Mtu aliyeona mambo hayo ndiye alitoa ushuhuda, nao ushuhuda wake ni kweli. Anajua kuwa anasema kweli, naye anashuhudia ili pia nanyi mpate kuamini.
And he that saw [it] bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 Kwa maana mambo haya yalitukia ili Maandiko yapate kutimia, yale yasemayo, “Hakuna hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 Tena Andiko lingine lasema, “Watamtazama yeye waliyemchoma.”
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 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.
And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 Naye Nikodemo, yule ambaye kwanza alimwendea Yesu usiku, akaja, akaleta mchanganyiko wa manemane na manukato, yenye uzito wa zaidi ya kilo thelathini
And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound [weight].
40 Wakauchukua mwili wa Yesu, wakaufunga katika sanda ya kitani safi pamoja na yale manukato, kama ilivyokuwa desturi ya Wayahudi.
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Basi palikuwa na bustani karibu na mahali pale aliposulubiwa, na pale ndani ya ile bustani palikuwa na kaburi jipya, ambalo halikuwa limezikiwa mtu bado.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya Wayahudi ya Maandalio, nalo kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamzika Yesu humo.
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation [day]; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
