Yohana 19
1 Ndipo Pilato akamtoa Yesu akaamuru apigwe mijeledi.
After that Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged;
2 Askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika Yesu kichwani. Wakamvalisha joho la zambarau.
and the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on his head, and threw a purple cloak about him, and kept marching up to him,
3 Wakawa wanapanda pale alipo tena na tena, wakisema, “Salamu! Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Huku wakimpiga makofi usoni.
saying, "Hail! King of the Jews!" They also gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Pilato akatoka tena nje akawaambia wale waliokusanyika, “Tazameni, namkabidhi Yesu kwenu kuwajulisha kwamba mimi sikumwona ana hatia.”
Pilate again came forth and said to the people, "See, I am going to bring his out to you, that you may clearly know that I find no crime 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 as Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to 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.”
So when the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted. "Crucify him! Crucify him!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate, "for I find no crime 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 that law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be God’s Son,"
8 Pilato aliposikia haya, akaogopa zaidi.
Now when Pilate heard these words he was more alarmed than ever,
9 Akaingia tena ndani ya jumba la kifalme, akamuuliza Yesu, “Wewe umetoka wapi?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu.
and entering the Praetorium again, he said to Jesus, "What is your origin?"
10 Pilato akamwambia, “Wewe unakataa kuongea na mimi? Hujui ya kuwa nina mamlaka ya kukuachia huru au kukusulubisha?”
Jesus made no answer. So Pilate said to him. "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, or power to crucify you?"
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.”
"You would have no power over me," answered Jesus, "unless it had been given you from above. For this reason he who has betrayed me to you has 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.”
After that Pilate began to seek to release him, but the Jews shouted out. "If you release this man you are no friend of the Emperor. Any man who makes himself out to be king is a rebel against the Emperor."
13 Pilato aliposikia maneno haya akamtoa Yesu nje tena akaketi katika kiti chake cha hukumu, mahali palipoitwa Sakafu ya Jiwe, kwa Kiebrania paliitwa Gabatha
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out and made him sit on the judge’s seat in a place called the Mosaic Pavement (the Hebrew name is 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 day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o’clock in the morning. Then he said to 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.”
Then they shouted. "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Crucify your King?" said Pilate. The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
16 Ndipo Pilato akamkabidhi Yesu kwao ili wamsulubishe. Kwa hiyo askari wakamchukua Yesu.
So then he gave him over to them to be crucified.
17 Yesu, akiwa ameubeba msalaba wake, akatoka kuelekea mahali palipoitwa Fuvu la Kichwa (kwa Kiebrania ni Golgotha).
So they took Jesus, who went forth bearing his own cross, to a place called The Place of a Skull - in the Hebrew tongue, Golgotha.
18 Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha. Pamoja naye walisulubisha watu wengine wawili, mmoja kila upande wake, naye Yesu katikati.
There they crucified him; and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
19 Pilato akaamuru tangazo liandikwe na liwekwe juu kwenye msalaba wa Yesu, likasema: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
And Pilate moreover wrote an inscription and placed it above the cross. What he wrote was, "JESUS, THE NAZARENE, 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 inscription was read by many of the Jews, because the place where they crucified Jesus was near the city, and the inscription was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Viongozi wa makuhani wa Wayahudi wakapinga, wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike ‘Mfalme wa Wayahudi,’ bali andika kwamba mtu huyu alisema yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write ‘King of the Jews,’ but ‘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.
After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to each soldier a part, and the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom;
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.
so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it. Let us draw lots, to see whose it shall be" - that the Scripture might be fulfilled. They divided my garments among them, For my raiment did they cast lots. This was what 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 near the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, 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 saw his mother, and standing near her the disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman behold your son."
27 kisha akamwambia yule mwanafunzi, “Nawe huyo hapo ndiye mama yako.” Tangu wakati huo yule mwanafunzi akamchukua mama yake Yesu nyumbani kwake.
Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her to his home.
28 Baada ya haya, Yesu hali akijua kuwa mambo yote yamemalizika, alisema ili kutimiza Maandiko, “Naona kiu.”
After that, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished, he said in fulfilment of the words of Scripture, "I am thirsty."
29 Hapo palikuwa na bakuli lililojaa siki. Kwa hiyo wakachovya sifongo kwenye hiyo siki, wakaiweka kwenye ufito wa mti wa hisopo, wakampelekea mdomoni.
There was a jar full of vinegar standing there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a stalk of hyssop, and put it to his lips.
30 Baada ya kuionja hiyo siki, Yesu akasema, “Imekwisha.” Akainamisha kichwa chake, akaitoa roho yake.
Then after he had taken the vinegar, Jesus said, "IT IS FINISHED!" And bowing his head, he yielded up his spirit.
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.
It was Preparation Day, so in order to prevent the bodies’ hanging on the cross during the Sabbath (for the Sabbath was a great day) the Jews begged Pilate to have the legs broken, and the bodies taken away.
32 Kwa hiyo askari wakaenda wakavunja miguu ya mtu wa kwanza aliyesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu na yule mwingine pia.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who had been crucified with him.
33 Lakini walipomkaribia Yesu, wakaona ya kuwa amekwisha kufa, hivyo hawakuvunja miguu yake.
But upon coming to Jesus they saw that he was already dead, and did not break his legs.
34 Badala yake mmoja wa wale askari akamchoma mkuki ubavuni na mara pakatoka damu na maji.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
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 who saw it has borne testimony, and his testimony is trustworthy, and he knows that he is telling the truth in order that you may believe.
36 Kwa maana mambo haya yalitukia ili Maandiko yapate kutimia, yale yasemayo, “Hakuna hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken.
37 Tena Andiko lingine lasema, “Watamtazama yeye waliyemchoma.”
And again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have 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.
After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body.
39 Naye Nikodemo, yule ambaye kwanza alimwendea Yesu usiku, akaja, akaleta mchanganyiko wa manemane na manukato, yenye uzito wa zaidi ya kilo thelathini
Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
40 Wakauchukua mwili wa Yesu, wakaufunga katika sanda ya kitani safi pamoja na yale manukato, kama ilivyokuwa desturi ya Wayahudi.
So they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
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.
There was a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya Wayahudi ya Maandalio, nalo kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamzika Yesu humo.
Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.
