Luka 22
1 Wakati huu Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, iitwayo Pasaka, ilikuwa imekaribia.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, called the passover, being near,
2 Viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria walikuwa wanatafuta njia ya kumuua Yesu, kwa sababu waliwaogopa watu.
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.
Then 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 and concerted with the chief priests and officers, how he might deliver Jesus into their hands.
5 Wakafurahi na wakakubaliana kumpa fedha.
And they were glad, and agreed to give him a certain sum,
6 Naye akakubali, akaanza kutafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti Yesu kwao, wakati ambapo hakuna umati wa watu.
which Judas having accepted, watched an opportunity to deliver him up without tumult.
7 Basi ikawadia siku ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, siku ambayo mwana-kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa.
Now, this day of unleavened bread being come, on which the passover must be sacrificed,
8 Hivyo Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohana, akisema, “Nendeni mkatuandalie chakula cha Pasaka ili tuweze kuila.”
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat it.
9 Wakamuuliza, “Unataka tukuandalie wapi?”
They asked him, Where shall we prepare it?
10 Yesu akawaambia, “Tazameni, mtakapokuwa mkiingia mjini, mtakutana na mwanaume amebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni mpaka kwenye nyumba atakayoingia.
He answered, When you enter the city, you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he shall enter,
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 asks you, Where is the guest-chamber, where 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; make ready there.
13 Wakaenda, nao wakakuta kila kitu kama Yesu alivyowaambia. Hivyo wakaiandaa Pasaka.
So they went, and having found everything as he had told them, prepared the passover.
14 Wakati ulipowadia, Yesu akaketi mezani pamoja na wale mitume wake.
When the hour was come, he placed himself at table with the twelve Apostles,
15 Kisha akawaambia, “Nimetamani sana kuila Pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.
and said to them, Much have I longed to eat this passover with you,
16 Kwa maana, nawaambia, sitaila tena Pasaka mpaka itakapotimizwa katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
that I will never partake of another, until it be accomplished in the kingdom of God.
17 Akiisha kukichukua kikombe, akashukuru, akasema, “Chukueni hiki mnywe wote.
Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it amongst you;
18 Kwa maana nawaambia tangu sasa sitakunywa tena katika uzao wa mzabibu, hadi Ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”
for I assure you, that I will not again drink of the product of the vine, until the Reign of God be come.
19 Kisha akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, na kuwapa, akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa ukumbusho wangu.”
Then he took bread, and having given thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in commemoration of me.
20 Vivyo hivyo baada ya kula, akakitwaa kikombe, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya katika damu yangu, imwagikayo kwa ajili yenu.
He likewise gave the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new Institution in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 Lakini mkono wake huyo atakayenisaliti uko hapa mezani pamoja nami.
Mark, however, that the hand of him who betrays me, is on the table with mine.
22 Mwana wa Adamu anaenda zake kama ilivyokusudiwa. Lakini ole wake mtu huyo amsalitiye.”
The Son of Man is going away, as has been determined: nevertheless, alas, for that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 Wakaanza kuulizana wenyewe ni nani miongoni mwao angeweza kufanya jambo hilo.
Then they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it could be that would do this.
24 Pia yakazuka mabishano katikati ya wanafunzi kwamba ni nani aliyeonekana kuwa mkuu kuliko wote miongoni mwao.
There had been, also, a contention amongst them, which of them should be accounted 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 king of the nations exercise dominion over them; and they who oppress them, are styled 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 with you, it must be otherwise: nay, let the greatest amongst you be as the least; and him who governs, as he who 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 who is at table, or he who serves? Is not he that is at table? Yet I am amongst you as one who serves.
28 Ninyi mmekuwa pamoja nami katika majaribu yangu.
You are they who have continued with me in my trials.
29 Nami kama Baba yangu alivyonipa ufalme, kadhalika mimi nami ninawapa ninyi,
And I grant to you, (forasmuch as my Father has granted me a kingdom, )
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.”
to eat, and to drink at my table, in my kingdom, and to sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Yesu akasema, “Simoni, Simoni, sikiliza, Shetani ameomba kuwapepeta ninyi wote kama ngano.
The Lord said, also, Simon, Simon, Satan has obtained permission to 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, that your faith fail not; do you, therefore, when you have recovered yourself, confirm your brethren.
33 Petro akajibu, “Bwana, niko tayari kwenda pamoja nawe gerezani na hata kifoni.”
He answered, Master, I am ready to accompany you, both to prison, and to death.
34 Yesu akamjibu, “Ninakuambia Petro, kabla jogoo hajawika usiku wa leo, utakana mara tatu kwamba hunijui mimi.”
Jesus replied, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day, before you have thrice 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.”
Then he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and bag, and shoes, did you want anything?
36 Akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, aliye na mfuko na auchukue, na aliye na mkoba vivyo hivyo. Naye asiye na upanga, auze joho lake anunue mmoja.
But now, said he, let him that has a purse, take it, and likewise his bag; and let him who has no sword, 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 tell you that this scripture, "He was ranked among malefactors," is now to be accomplished in me: for the things relating to me must be fulfilled.
38 Wanafunzi wake wakamwambia, “Bwana, tazama hapa kuna panga mbili.” Akawajibu, “Inatosha.”
They said, Master, here are two swords. He replied, It is enough.
39 Yesu akatoka, akaenda kwenye Mlima wa Mizeituni kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake, nao wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
Then he went out, and repaired, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.
40 Walipofika huko, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ombeni, msije mkaingia majaribuni.”
Being arrived there, he said to them, Pray that you may not yield to temptation.
41 Akajitenga nao kama umbali wa kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti, akaomba
Then, being withdrawn from them about a stone's cast; he 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 wilt, take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.
43 Malaika kutoka mbinguni akamtokea, akamtia nguvu.
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 Naye akiwa katika maumivu makuu, akaomba kwa bidii, nalo jasho lake likawa kama matone ya damu yakidondoka ardhini.
And being in an agony of grief, he prayed the more fervently, and his sweat fell like clotted blood to the ground.
45 Baada ya kuomba, akawarudia wanafunzi wake akawakuta wamelala, wakiwa wamechoka kutokana na huzuni.
Having risen from prayer, and returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping, oppressed with grief;
46 Naye akawauliza, “Mbona mmelala? Amkeni, mwombe ili msije mkaingia majaribuni.”
and said to them, Why do you sleep? Arise, and pray, lest the trial overcome you.
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.
Before he had done speaking, he saw a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, walked before them, and came up to Jesus, to kiss him.
48 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda, je, unamsaliti Mwana wa Adamu kwa busu?”
Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?
49 Wafuasi wa Yesu walipoona yale yaliyokuwa yanakaribia kutokea, wakasema, “Bwana, tuwakatekate kwa panga zetu?”
Now, those who were with him, foreseeing what would happen, said to him, Master, shall we strike with the sword?
50 Mmoja wao akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu kwa upanga, akamkata sikio la kuume.
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 Lakini Yesu akasema, “Acheni!” Akaligusa lile sikio la yule mtu na kumponya.
Jesus said, Let this suffice; and touching his ear, he 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?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and the officers of the temple-guard, and the elders, who were come to apprehend him, Do you come with swords and clubs, as in pursuit of 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 attempt to arrest me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Kisha wakamkamata Yesu, wakamchukua, wakaenda naye mpaka nyumbani kwa kuhani mkuu. Lakini Petro akafuata kwa mbali.
Then they seized him, and led him away to the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.
55 Walipokwisha kuwasha moto katikati ya ua na kuketi pamoja, Petro naye akaketi pamoja nao.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and were sitting round it, Peter sat down among 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 maid servant, having observed him sitting by the fire, and viewed him attentively, said, This man also was with him.
57 Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “Ewe mwanamke, hata simjui!”
But he disowned him, 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!”
A little while after, another seeing him, said, You, also, are one of them. Peter answered, 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.”
About an hour after, another averred the same thing, saying, This man was surely with him, for he is a Galilean.
60 Petro akajibu, “Wewe mtu, mimi sijui unalosema!” Wakati huo huo, akiwa bado anazungumza, jogoo akawika.
Peter answered, Man, I know nothing of this matter. And just as he spoke the word, a cock crew.
61 Naye Bwana akageuka, akamtazama Petro. Ndipo Petro akakumbuka lile neno ambalo Bwana alimwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika leo, utanikana mara tatu.”
Then the Lord, turning, looked upon Peter, and Peter called to mind the word which the Lord had said to him, Before the cock crow, you will disown me thrice.
62 Naye akaenda nje, akalia kwa majonzi.
And he went out and wept bitterly.
63 Watu waliokuwa wanamlinda Yesu wakaanza kumdhihaki na kumpiga.
Meantime, they who had Jesus in charge, mocked and beat him;
64 Wakamfunga kitambaa machoni na kumuuliza, “Tabiri! Tuambie ni nani aliyekupiga?”
and having blindfolded him, struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Divine who it is that smote you.
65 Wakaendelea kumtukana kwa matusi mengi.
And many other abusive things they said against him.
66 Kulipopambazuka, baraza la wazee wa watu, yaani viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria, wakakutana pamoja, naye Yesu akaletwa mbele yao.
As soon as it was day, the national senate, with the chief priests and scribes, were assembled, and having caused him to be brought into their council-chamber, said to him,
67 Wakamwambia, “Kama wewe ndiye Kristo, tuambie.” Yesu akawajibu, “Hata nikiwaambia hamtaamini.
If you be the Messiah, tell us. He answered, If I tell you, you will not believe:
68 Nami nikiwauliza swali, hamtanijibu.
and if put a question, you will neither answer me, nor acquit me.
69 Lakini kuanzia sasa, Mwana wa Adamu ataketi mkono wa kuume wa Mungu Mwenye Nguvu.”
Hereafter the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of Almighty God.
70 Wote wakauliza, “Wewe basi ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu?” Yeye akawajibu, “Ninyi mwasema kwamba mimi ndiye.”
They all replied, You are, then, the Son of God? He answered, You say the truth.
71 Kisha wakasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya ushahidi zaidi? Tumesikia wenyewe kutoka kinywani mwake.”
Then they cried, What further need have we of evidence? We have heard enough ourselves, from his own mouth.
