Marko 14
1 Zilikuwa zimebaki siku mbili tu kabla ya Sikukuu ya Pasaka, na Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu. Viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria walikuwa wakitafuta njia ya kumkamata Yesu kwa hila na kumuua.
It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.
2 Lakini walisema, “Tusilifanye jambo hili wakati wa Sikukuu, maana watu wanaweza wakafanya ghasia.”
For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people."
3 Yesu alikuwa Bethania nyumbani kwa Simoni aliyekuwa na ukoma. Wakati alipokuwa ameketi mezani akila chakula cha jioni, mwanamke mmoja aliingia akiwa na chupa ya marhamu yenye manukato ya nardo safi ya thamani kubwa. Akaivunja hiyo chupa, akamiminia hayo manukato kichwani mwa Yesu.
While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.
4 Baadhi ya watu waliokuwepo pale walikuwa wakisemezana wao kwa wao, “Upotevu huu wote ni wa nini?
But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?
5 Mafuta haya yangeweza kuuzwa kwa zaidi ya dinari 300, na fedha hizo wakapewa maskini.” Wakamkemea vikali huyo mwanamke.
For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.
6 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mwanamke? Mwacheni! Yeye amenitendea jambo zuri sana.
But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
7 Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote na mnaweza kuwasaidia wakati wowote mnaotaka. Lakini mimi hamtakuwa nami siku zote.
For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 Huyu mwanamke amenitendea lile aliloweza. Ameumiminia mwili wangu manukato ili kuniandaa kwa maziko yangu.
She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
9 Amin, nawaambia, mahali popote ulimwenguni ambapo Injili itahubiriwa, jambo hili alilolitenda huyu mwanamke litatajwa pia kwa ukumbusho wake.”
Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."
10 Kisha Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi kumi na wawili, akaenda kwa viongozi wa makuhani ili kumsaliti Yesu kwao.
Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
11 Walifurahi sana kusikia jambo hili na wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Hivyo yeye akawa anatafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti.
They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
12 Siku ya kwanza ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, siku ambayo kwa desturi mwana-kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa, wanafunzi wa Yesu wakamuuliza, “Unataka twende wapi ili tukuandalie mahali pa kula Pasaka?”
On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the Passover?"
13 Basi akawatuma wawili miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Nendeni mjini. Huko mtakutana na mwanaume amebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni.
He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,
14 Mwambieni mwenye nyumba ile atakayoingia, ‘Mwalimu anauliza: Kiko wapi chumba changu cha wageni, ambamo mimi na wanafunzi wangu tutakula Pasaka?’
and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
15 Atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani, kilichopambwa tena kilicho tayari. Tuandalieni humo.”
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make ready for us there."
16 Wale wanafunzi wakaondoka na kwenda mjini, nao wakakuta kila kitu kama Yesu alivyowaambia. Hivyo wakaiandaa Pasaka.
The disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 Ilipofika jioni, Yesu akaja pamoja na wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
When it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 Walipoketi mezani wakila, Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, nawaambia, mmoja wenu atanisaliti, mmoja anayekula pamoja nami.”
And as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me."
19 Wakaanza kuhuzunika na kumuuliza mmoja baada ya mwingine, “Je, ni mimi Bwana?”
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"
20 Akawajibu, “Ni mmoja miongoni mwenu ninyi kumi na wawili, yule anayechovya mkate kwenye bakuli pamoja nami.
He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
21 Mwana wa Adamu anaenda zake kama vile alivyoandikiwa. Lakini ole wake mtu yule amsalitiye Mwana wa Adamu! Ingekuwa heri kwake mtu huyo kama hangezaliwa.”
For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
22 Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake, akisema, “Twaeni mle; huu ndio mwili wangu.”
As they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."
23 Kisha akakitwaa kikombe, akashukuru, akawapa, nao wote wakanywa kutoka humo.
He took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
24 Akawaambia, “Hii ndiyo damu yangu ya agano, imwagikayo kwa ajili ya wengi.
He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
25 Amin, nawaambia, sitakunywa tena katika uzao wa mzabibu, hadi siku ile nitakapounywa mpya katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
Truly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God."
26 Walipokwisha kuimba wimbo, wakatoka wakaenda Mlima wa Mizeituni.
When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi nyote mtaniacha, kwa maana imeandikwa: “‘Nitampiga mchungaji, nao kondoo watatawanyika.’
Jesus said to them, "All of you will fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'
28 Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia kwenda Galilaya.”
However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
29 Petro akasema, “Hata kama wengine wote watakuacha, mimi sitakuacha.”
But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."
30 Yesu akamwambia, “Amin, nakuambia; leo, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, wewe mwenyewe utanikana mara tatu.”
Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."
31 Lakini Petro akasisitiza zaidi, “Hata kama itabidi kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Nao wale wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
But he insisted, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.
32 Wakaenda mahali paitwapo Gethsemane. Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa, nami niende nikaombe.”
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."
33 Kisha akawachukua pamoja naye Petro, Yakobo na Yohana. Akaanza kuhuzunika sana na kutaabika.
He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 Akawaambia, “Moyo wangu umejawa na huzuni kiasi cha kufa. Kaeni hapa na mkeshe.”
He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."
35 Akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akaomba kwamba kama ingewezekana saa hiyo ya mateso imwondokee.
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36 Akasema, “Abba, Baba, mambo yote yawezekana kwako. Niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nipendavyo mimi, bali vile upendavyo wewe.”
He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
37 Akarudi kwa wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Simoni, umelala? Je, hukuweza kukesha hata kwa saa moja?
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
38 Kesheni na mwombe, msije mkaingia majaribuni. Roho iko radhi, lakini mwili ni mdhaifu.”
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39 Akaenda tena kuomba, akisema maneno yale yale.
Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
40 Aliporudi, akawakuta tena wamelala kwa sababu macho yao yalikuwa mazito. Nao hawakujua la kumwambia.
Again he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.
41 Akaja mara ya tatu, akawaambia, “Bado mmelala na kupumzika? Imetosha! Saa imewadia. Tazameni, Mwana wa Adamu anasalitiwa na kutiwa mikononi mwa wenye dhambi.
He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Inukeni, twende zetu! Tazameni, msaliti wangu yuaja!”
Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."
43 Yesu alipokuwa bado anazungumza, Yuda, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi Kumi na Wawili, akatokea. Alikuwa amefuatana na umati wa watu wenye panga na marungu, waliokuwa wametumwa na viongozi wa makuhani, walimu wa sheria, na wazee.
Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44 Basi msaliti alikuwa amewapa hao watu ishara, kwamba: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye. Mkamateni, mkamchukue chini ya ulinzi.”
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."
45 Mara Yuda akamjia Yesu na kusema, “Rabi.” Akambusu.
When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi." and kissed him.
46 Wale watu wakamkamata Yesu, wakamweka chini ya ulinzi.
They laid hands on him, and seized him.
47 Ndipo mmoja wa wale waliokuwa wamesimama karibu aliuchomoa upanga wake na kumpiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, akamkata sikio.
But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Mmekuja na panga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyangʼanyi?
Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
49 Siku kwa siku nilikuwa pamoja nanyi nikifundisha Hekaluni, wala hamkunikamata. Lakini Maandiko sharti yatimie.”
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
50 Ndipo wanafunzi wake wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
They all left him, and fled.
51 Kijana mmoja, ambaye hakuwa amevaa kitu isipokuwa alijitanda nguo ya kitani, alikuwa akimfuata Yesu. Walipomkamata,
And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. And they grabbed him,
52 alikimbia uchi, akaliacha vazi lake.
but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.
53 Wakampeleka Yesu kwa kuhani mkuu, nao viongozi wa makuhani wote, na wazee na walimu wa sheria wote wakakusanyika pamoja.
They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together.
54 Petro akamfuata kwa mbali, hadi uani kwa kuhani mkuu. Huko akaketi pamoja na walinzi, akiota moto.
Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55 Viongozi wa makuhani na Baraza la Wayahudi lote wakatafuta ushahidi dhidi ya Yesu ili wapate kumuua. Lakini hawakupata jambo lolote.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56 Wengi walitoa ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake, lakini maelezo yao hayakukubaliana.
For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree with each other.
57 Ndipo wengine wakasimama wakatoa ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake, wakisema:
Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
58 “Sisi tulimsikia akisema, ‘Mimi nitalibomoa Hekalu hili lililojengwa na wanadamu, na katika siku tatu nitajenga jingine ambalo halikujengwa na wanadamu.’”
"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"
59 Lakini hata hivyo, ushahidi wao haukukubaliana.
Even so, their testimony did not agree.
60 Basi kuhani mkuu akasimama mbele yao, akamuuliza Yesu, “Je, wewe hutajibu? Ni ushahidi gani hawa watu wanauleta dhidi yako?”
The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
61 Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya, hakusema neno lolote. Kuhani mkuu akamuuliza tena, “Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu Aliyebarikiwa?”
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
62 Yesu akajibu, “Mimi ndimi. Nanyi mtamwona Mwana wa Adamu akiwa ameketi mkono wa kuume wa Mwenye Nguvu, na akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni.”
And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."
63 Kuhani mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi zaidi?
The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Ninyi mmesikia hayo makufuru. Uamuzi wenu ni gani?” Wote wakamhukumu kwamba anastahili kifo.
You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65 Kisha baadhi ya watu wakaanza kumtemea mate; wakamfunga kitambaa machoni, wakampiga kwa ngumi na kumwambia, “Tabiri!” Walinzi wakamchukua na kumpiga makofi.
Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy." And the officers took him and beat him.
66 Petro alipokuwa bado yuko chini kwenye ua wa jumba la kifalme, tazama akaja mmoja wa watumishi wa kike wa kuhani mkuu.
Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
67 Alipomwona Petro akiota moto, akamtazama sana, akamwambia, “Wewe pia ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu, Mnazareti.”
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."
68 Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “Sijui wala sielewi unalosema.” Naye akaondoka kuelekea kwenye njia ya kuingilia.
But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went out into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed.
69 Yule mtumishi wa kike alipomwona mahali pale, akawaambia tena wale waliokuwa wamesimama hapo, “Huyu mtu ni mmoja wao.”
And the servant girl saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."
70 Lakini Petro akakana tena. Baada ya muda kidogo wale waliokuwa wamesimama hapo karibu na Petro wakamwambia, “Hakika wewe ni mmoja wao, kwa maana wewe pia ni Mgalilaya!”
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your accent shows it."
71 Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuwaapia, “Mimi simjui huyu mtu mnayesema habari zake!”
But he began to curse, and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."
72 Papo hapo jogoo akawika mara ya pili. Ndipo Petro akakumbuka lile neno Yesu alikuwa amemwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utanikana mara tatu.” Akavunjika moyo, akalia sana.
And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
