Luka 22
1 Wakati huu Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, iitwayo Pasaka, ilikuwa imekaribia.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, was at hand.
2 Viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria walikuwa wanatafuta njia ya kumuua Yesu, kwa sababu waliwaogopa watu.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Shetani akamwingia Yuda, aliyeitwa Iskariote, mmoja wa wale Kumi na Wawili.
But Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
4 Yuda akaenda kwa viongozi wa makuhani na kwa maafisa wa walinzi wa Hekalu, akazungumza nao jinsi ambavyo angeweza kumsaliti Yesu.
And he went away, and conferred with the chief priests and the captains how he might deliver him up to them.
5 Wakafurahi na wakakubaliana kumpa fedha.
And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 Naye akakubali, akaanza kutafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti Yesu kwao, wakati ambapo hakuna umati wa watu.
And he consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them without tumult.
7 Basi ikawadia siku ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, siku ambayo mwana-kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 Hivyo Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohana, akisema, “Nendeni mkatuandalie chakula cha Pasaka ili tuweze kuila.”
And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, make ready the passover for us, that we may eat it.
9 Wakamuuliza, “Unataka tukuandalie wapi?”
They said to him: Where dost thou wish that we make it ready?
10 Yesu akawaambia, “Tazameni, mtakapokuwa mkiingia mjini, mtakutana na mwanaume amebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni mpaka kwenye nyumba atakayoingia.
And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters;
11 Nanyi mwambieni mwenye nyumba, ‘Mwalimu anauliza: Kiko wapi chumba cha wageni, ambamo mimi na wanafunzi wangu tutakula Pasaka?’
and say to the master of the house: The Teacher says to you, Where is the room in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 Atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani, kikiwa kimepambwa vizuri. Andaeni humo.”
And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready.
13 Wakaenda, nao wakakuta kila kitu kama Yesu alivyowaambia. Hivyo wakaiandaa Pasaka.
And they went, and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.
14 Wakati ulipowadia, Yesu akaketi mezani pamoja na wale mitume wake.
And when the hour had come, he reclined at table, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 Kisha akawaambia, “Nimetamani sana kuila Pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.
And he said to them: I have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
16 Kwa maana, nawaambia, sitaila tena Pasaka mpaka itakapotimizwa katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
For I say to you, I will eat of it no more till it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 Akiisha kukichukua kikombe, akashukuru, akasema, “Chukueni hiki mnywe wote.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said: Take this, and divide it among yourselves;
18 Kwa maana nawaambia tangu sasa sitakunywa tena katika uzao wa mzabibu, hadi Ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”
for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.
19 Kisha akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, na kuwapa, akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa ukumbusho wangu.”
And he took bread, and gave thanks; and he broke, and gave it to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me.
20 Vivyo hivyo baada ya kula, akakitwaa kikombe, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya katika damu yangu, imwagikayo kwa ajili yenu.
In like manner also, the cup, after he had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 Lakini mkono wake huyo atakayenisaliti uko hapa mezani pamoja nami.
But, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table.
22 Mwana wa Adamu anaenda zake kama ilivyokusudiwa. Lakini ole wake mtu huyo amsalitiye.”
And the Son of man goes, as it is determined; but alas for that man by whom he is delivered up.
23 Wakaanza kuulizana wenyewe ni nani miongoni mwao angeweza kufanya jambo hilo.
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it could be that was about to do this thing.
24 Pia yakazuka mabishano katikati ya wanafunzi kwamba ni nani aliyeonekana kuwa mkuu kuliko wote miongoni mwao.
And there had been also a contention among them, which of them was thought to be the greatest.
25 Yesu akawaambia, “Wafalme na watu wa Mataifa huwatawala watu kwa nguvu. Nao wenye mamlaka juu yao hujiita ‘Wafadhili.’
And he said to them: The kings of the nations have dominion over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
26 Lakini ninyi msifanane nao. Bali yeye aliye mkuu kuliko wote miongoni mwenu, inampasa kuwa kama yeye aliye mdogo wa wote, naye atawalaye na awe kama yeye ahudumuye.
But you shall not be so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and him that is chief, as he that serves.
27 Kwani ni nani aliye mkuu? Ni yule aketiye mezani au ni yule ahudumuye? Si ni yule aliyekaa mezani? Lakini mimi niko miongoni mwenu kama yule ahudumuye.
For which is greater, he that reclines at table, or he that serves? Is not he that reclines at table? But I am among you as one that serves.
28 Ninyi mmekuwa pamoja nami katika majaribu yangu.
You are they that have continued with me in my trials;
29 Nami kama Baba yangu alivyonipa ufalme, kadhalika mimi nami ninawapa ninyi,
and I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed to me,
30 ili mpate kula na kunywa mezani pangu katika karamu ya ufalme wangu, na kukaa katika viti vya enzi, mkihukumu makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.”
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Yesu akasema, “Simoni, Simoni, sikiliza, Shetani ameomba kuwapepeta ninyi wote kama ngano.
And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded you apostles for himself, that he may sift you as wheat.
32 Lakini nimekuombea wewe Simoni ili imani yako isishindwe, nawe ukiisha kunirudia, uwaimarishe ndugu zako.”
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith fail not. And when you have turned to me again, strengthen your brethren.
33 Petro akajibu, “Bwana, niko tayari kwenda pamoja nawe gerezani na hata kifoni.”
And he said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both to prison and to death.
34 Yesu akamjibu, “Ninakuambia Petro, kabla jogoo hajawika usiku wa leo, utakana mara tatu kwamba hunijui mimi.”
He replied: I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day before you have three times denied that you know me.
35 Kisha Yesu akawauliza, “Nilipowatuma bila mfuko, wala mkoba, wala viatu, mlipungukiwa na kitu chochote?” Wakajibu, “La, hatukupungukiwa na kitu chochote.”
And he said to them: When I sent you without purse and bag and sandals, did you need any thing? They replied: Nothing.
36 Akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, aliye na mfuko na auchukue, na aliye na mkoba vivyo hivyo. Naye asiye na upanga, auze joho lake anunue mmoja.
Then he said to them: But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that has no sword, let him sell his mantle and buy one.
37 Kwa sababu, nawaambia, andiko hili lazima litimizwe juu yangu, kwamba, ‘Alihesabiwa pamoja na wakosaji’; kwa kweli yaliyoandikwa kunihusu mimi hayana budi kutimizwa.”
For I say to you, That even this which is written must be fulfilled in me: And he was numbered with transgressors. For the things concerning me have an end.
38 Wanafunzi wake wakamwambia, “Bwana, tazama hapa kuna panga mbili.” Akawajibu, “Inatosha.”
And they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. He said to them: It is enough.
39 Yesu akatoka, akaenda kwenye Mlima wa Mizeituni kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake, nao wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
And after he had gone out, he went, according to custom, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples followed him.
40 Walipofika huko, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ombeni, msije mkaingia majaribuni.”
And when he came to the place, he said to them: Pray, that you enter not into temptation.
41 Akajitenga nao kama umbali wa kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti, akaomba
And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 akisema, “Baba, kama ni mapenzi yako, niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nipendavyo, bali mapenzi yako yatendeke.”
saying: Father, if thou art willing that this cup should pass from me―yet, not my will, but thine be done.
43 Malaika kutoka mbinguni akamtokea, akamtia nguvu.
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, to strengthen him.
44 Naye akiwa katika maumivu makuu, akaomba kwa bidii, nalo jasho lake likawa kama matone ya damu yakidondoka ardhini.
And he was in agony, and prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was like great drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 Baada ya kuomba, akawarudia wanafunzi wake akawakuta wamelala, wakiwa wamechoka kutokana na huzuni.
And he arose from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them asleep for sorrow.
46 Naye akawauliza, “Mbona mmelala? Amkeni, mwombe ili msije mkaingia majaribuni.”
And he said to them: Why do you sleep? Arise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.
47 Yesu alipokuwa bado anazungumza, umati mkubwa wa watu ukaja. Uliongozwa na Yuda, ambaye alikuwa mmoja wa wale wanafunzi Kumi na Wawili. Akamkaribia Yesu ili ambusu.
And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and came near to Jesus to kiss him.
48 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda, je, unamsaliti Mwana wa Adamu kwa busu?”
But Jesus said to him: Judas, do you deliver up the Son of man with a kiss?
49 Wafuasi wa Yesu walipoona yale yaliyokuwa yanakaribia kutokea, wakasema, “Bwana, tuwakatekate kwa panga zetu?”
When those who were about him saw what would be done, they said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?
50 Mmoja wao akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu kwa upanga, akamkata sikio la kuume.
And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 Lakini Yesu akasema, “Acheni!” Akaligusa lile sikio la yule mtu na kumponya.
And Jesus answered and said: Let this matter proceed thus far. And he touched his ear and healed him.
52 Kisha Yesu akawaambia wale viongozi wa makuhani, maafisa wa walinzi wa Hekalu, pamoja na wazee waliokuwa wamekuja kumkamata, “Mmekuja na panga na marungu, kana kwamba mimi ni mnyangʼanyi?
And Jesus said to the chief priests, and the captains of the temple, and the elders that had come against him: Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber?
53 Siku kwa siku nilikuwa pamoja nanyi Hekaluni lakini hamkunikamata. Lakini hii ni saa yenu, wakati giza linatawala!”
While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness.
54 Kisha wakamkamata Yesu, wakamchukua, wakaenda naye mpaka nyumbani kwa kuhani mkuu. Lakini Petro akafuata kwa mbali.
And they took him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the chief priest. But Peter followed at a distance.
55 Walipokwisha kuwasha moto katikati ya ua na kuketi pamoja, Petro naye akaketi pamoja nao.
And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them.
56 Mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamwona kwa mwanga wa moto akiwa ameketi pale. Akamtazama sana, akasema, “Huyu mtu pia alikuwa pamoja na Yesu!”
And a certain maid-servant saw him sitting by the fire; and, looking intently at him, she said: This man also was with him.
57 Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “Ewe mwanamke, hata simjui!”
But he denied, saying: Woman, I know him not.
58 Baadaye kidogo, mtu mwingine alimwona Petro akasema, “Wewe pia ni mmoja wao!” Petro akajibu, “Wewe mtu, mimi sio mmoja wao!”
And after a little, another saw him, and said: You also are one of them. Peter replied: Man, I am not.
59 Baada ya muda wa kama saa moja hivi, mtu mwingine akazidi kusisitiza, “Kwa hakika huyu mtu naye alikuwa pamoja na Yesu, kwa maana yeye pia ni Mgalilaya.”
And about one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.
60 Petro akajibu, “Wewe mtu, mimi sijui unalosema!” Wakati huo huo, akiwa bado anazungumza, jogoo akawika.
But Peter said: Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew.
61 Naye Bwana akageuka, akamtazama Petro. Ndipo Petro akakumbuka lile neno ambalo Bwana alimwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika leo, utanikana mara tatu.”
And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.
62 Naye akaenda nje, akalia kwa majonzi.
And Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 Watu waliokuwa wanamlinda Yesu wakaanza kumdhihaki na kumpiga.
And the men that had Jesus in custody mocked him, and smote him.
64 Wakamfunga kitambaa machoni na kumuuliza, “Tabiri! Tuambie ni nani aliyekupiga?”
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying: Give a response; who is it that struck you?
65 Wakaendelea kumtukana kwa matusi mengi.
And many other impious things they said to him.
66 Kulipopambazuka, baraza la wazee wa watu, yaani viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria, wakakutana pamoja, naye Yesu akaletwa mbele yao.
And when it was day, the elders of the people, the chief priests also and scribes, met together, and led him up to the Sanhedrin, and said:
67 Wakamwambia, “Kama wewe ndiye Kristo, tuambie.” Yesu akawajibu, “Hata nikiwaambia hamtaamini.
If you are the Christ, tell us. But he said to them: If I tell you, you will not believe;
68 Nami nikiwauliza swali, hamtanijibu.
and if I also ask you a question, you will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 Lakini kuanzia sasa, Mwana wa Adamu ataketi mkono wa kuume wa Mungu Mwenye Nguvu.”
Henceforth the Son of man shall sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Wote wakauliza, “Wewe basi ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu?” Yeye akawajibu, “Ninyi mwasema kwamba mimi ndiye.”
And they all said: You are, then, the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am.
71 Kisha wakasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya ushahidi zaidi? Tumesikia wenyewe kutoka kinywani mwake.”
They replied: What further need have we of testimony? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
