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.
Now the feast of the passover and unleavened bread was within two days: and the chief priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize Him by treachery and put Him to death.
2 Lakini walisema, “Tusilifanye jambo hili wakati wa Sikukuu, maana watu wanaweza wakafanya ghasia.”
But they said, Not on the feast-day, least there be a tumult 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.
And when He was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He was at table, there came a woman with an alabaster-box of ointment of spikenard, very valuable; and she brake the box and poured it on his head.
4 Baadhi ya watu waliokuwepo pale walikuwa wakisemezana wao kwa wao, “Upotevu huu wote ni wa nini?
And there were some provoked at it and said, Why was this waste made of the ointment?
5 Mafuta haya yangeweza kuuzwa kwa zaidi ya dinari 300, na fedha hizo wakapewa maskini.” Wakamkemea vikali huyo mwanamke.
For it might have been sold for above three hundred pence, and given to the poor. And they inveighed against her.
6 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mwanamke? Mwacheni! Yeye amenitendea jambo zuri sana.
But Jesus said, Let her alone, why do ye give her uneasiness?
7 Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote na mnaweza kuwasaidia wakati wowote mnaotaka. Lakini mimi hamtakuwa nami siku zote.
She has done a kind office to me. For ye have the poor always with you, and may do them good, whenever ye will; but me ye have not always.
8 Huyu mwanamke amenitendea lile aliloweza. Ameumiminia mwili wangu manukato ili kuniandaa kwa maziko yangu.
She has done what she could: she has embalmed my body beforehand against the burial.
9 Amin, nawaambia, mahali popote ulimwenguni ambapo Injili itahubiriwa, jambo hili alilolitenda huyu mwanamke litatajwa pia kwa ukumbusho wake.”
Verily I tell you, wheresoever this gospel is preached, through all the world, what she hath done shall also be told 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.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, in order to betray Him unto them.
11 Walifurahi sana kusikia jambo hili na wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Hivyo yeye akawa anatafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti.
And they were glad, when they heard it, and engaged to give him money. And he sought to betray Him at a proper season.
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?”
And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the paschal lamb, his disciples said to Him, Where wouldst thou have us go and make preparation for thee to eat of the paschal lamb?
13 Basi akawatuma wawili miongoni mwa wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Nendeni mjini. Huko mtakutana na mwanaume amebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni.
And He sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there will meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water:
14 Mwambieni mwenye nyumba ile atakayoingia, ‘Mwalimu anauliza: Kiko wapi chumba changu cha wageni, ambamo mimi na wanafunzi wangu tutakula Pasaka?’
follow him, and where he goes in, say to the man of the house, The master inquireth, Where is the room, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?
15 Atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani, kilichopambwa tena kilicho tayari. Tuandalieni humo.”
And he will shew you a large upper room ready prepared, there make preparation for us.
16 Wale wanafunzi wakaondoka na kwenda mjini, nao wakakuta kila kitu kama Yesu alivyowaambia. Hivyo wakaiandaa Pasaka.
And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found every thing as He told them; and so prepared the passover.
17 Ilipofika jioni, Yesu akaja pamoja na wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
And in the evening He cometh with the rest of the twelve.
18 Walipoketi mezani wakila, Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, nawaambia, mmoja wenu atanisaliti, mmoja anayekula pamoja nami.”
And when they were sat down and eating together, Jesus said, Verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me, who is now eating with me.
19 Wakaanza kuhuzunika na kumuuliza mmoja baada ya mwingine, “Je, ni mimi Bwana?”
And they were grieved, and said to Him one by one, Is it I?
20 Akawajibu, “Ni mmoja miongoni mwenu ninyi kumi na wawili, yule anayechovya mkate kwenye bakuli pamoja nami.
Is it I? And He said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that is now dipping 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.”
The Son of man is going indeed as it is written concerning Him; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed; it had been good for him, if that man had never been born.
22 Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake, akisema, “Twaeni mle; huu ndio mwili wangu.”
And as they were at table, Jesus took bread, and when He had blessed it He brake it, and gave it to them, and said, Take, eat, This is my body:
23 Kisha akakitwaa kikombe, akashukuru, akawapa, nao wote wakanywa kutoka humo.
and He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 Akawaambia, “Hii ndiyo damu yangu ya agano, imwagikayo kwa ajili ya wengi.
And He said unto them, This is an emblem of my blood the seal of the new covenant, which is to be shed for many:
25 Amin, nawaambia, sitakunywa tena katika uzao wa mzabibu, hadi siku ile nitakapounywa mpya katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
and I assure you, that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, till the day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 Walipokwisha kuimba wimbo, wakatoka wakaenda Mlima wa Mizeituni.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
27 Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi nyote mtaniacha, kwa maana imeandikwa: “‘Nitampiga mchungaji, nao kondoo watatawanyika.’
And Jesus saith unto them, Ye will all of you be made to offend on my account this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered:
28 Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia kwenda Galilaya.”
but after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 Petro akasema, “Hata kama wengine wote watakuacha, mimi sitakuacha.”
But Peter said to Him, though all should be made to offend, yet will not I.
30 Yesu akamwambia, “Amin, nakuambia; leo, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, wewe mwenyewe utanikana mara tatu.”
And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I tell thee, that to day, even in this very night, before the cock crow twice thou wilt deny me thrice.
31 Lakini Petro akasisitiza zaidi, “Hata kama itabidi kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Nao wale wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
But he said with the more vehemence, Though I should die with thee, I will never disown thee. And so likewise said they all.
32 Wakaenda mahali paitwapo Gethsemane. Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa, nami niende nikaombe.”
And they came to a place called Gethsemane, and He saith to his disciples, Sit here whilst I go and pray.
33 Kisha akawachukua pamoja naye Petro, Yakobo na Yohana. Akaanza kuhuzunika sana na kutaabika.
And He taketh Peter and James and John with Him, and He began to be overwhelmed with terror and anguish.
34 Akawaambia, “Moyo wangu umejawa na huzuni kiasi cha kufa. Kaeni hapa na mkeshe.”
And He saith unto them, My Soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death, stay here and watch.
35 Akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akaomba kwamba kama ingewezekana saa hiyo ya mateso imwondokee.
And going a little farther, He prostrated Himself, and prayed, if it were possible, that this hour might pass from Him.
36 Akasema, “Abba, Baba, mambo yote yawezekana kwako. Niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nipendavyo mimi, bali vile upendavyo wewe.”
And He said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to Thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 Akarudi kwa wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Simoni, umelala? Je, hukuweza kukesha hata kwa saa moja?
And He cometh and findeth them asleep, and saith to Peter, Simon, art thou sleeping? couldst thou not watch one hour?
38 Kesheni na mwombe, msije mkaingia majaribuni. Roho iko radhi, lakini mwili ni mdhaifu.”
Watch, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the body is weak.
39 Akaenda tena kuomba, akisema maneno yale yale.
And He went away again, and prayed, after the same manner.
40 Aliporudi, akawakuta tena wamelala kwa sababu macho yao yalikuwa mazito. Nao hawakujua la kumwambia.
And when He returned, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to say to 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.
And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Are ye sleeping still and taking your rest? It is enough, the hour is come: behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Inukeni, twende zetu! Tazameni, msaliti wangu yuaja!”
Rise, let us go; see the traitor is at hand.
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.
And immediately while He was yet speaking cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders:
44 Basi msaliti alikuwa amewapa hao watu ishara, kwamba: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye. Mkamateni, mkamchukue chini ya ulinzi.”
(Now the traitor had given them a sign, saying, The man, whom I shall kiss, is He; lay hold of Him and lead Him away safely: )
45 Mara Yuda akamjia Yesu na kusema, “Rabi.” Akambusu.
and as soon as he came, he went directly up to Him and said, Master, Master; and kissed Him.
46 Wale watu wakamkamata Yesu, wakamweka chini ya ulinzi.
And they laid their hands on Him, and apprehended Him.
47 Ndipo mmoja wa wale waliokuwa wamesimama karibu aliuchomoa upanga wake na kumpiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, akamkata sikio.
And one of those that were present, drawing a sword, struck at the high priest's servant, and took off his ear.
48 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Mmekuja na panga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyangʼanyi?
And Jesus said unto them, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and clubs to take 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 ye did not seize me: but this is done that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
50 Ndipo wanafunzi wake wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
And the disciples all forsook Him and fled: but there followed Him a certain youth,
51 Kijana mmoja, ambaye hakuwa amevaa kitu isipokuwa alijitanda nguo ya kitani, alikuwa akimfuata Yesu. Walipomkamata,
who had only a linen cloth wrapt about him, and the young men laid hold on him;
52 alikimbia uchi, akaliacha vazi lake.
and he let go the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 Wakampeleka Yesu kwa kuhani mkuu, nao viongozi wa makuhani wote, na wazee na walimu wa sheria wote wakakusanyika pamoja.
And they led Jesus away to the high priest, with whom were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
54 Petro akamfuata kwa mbali, hadi uani kwa kuhani mkuu. Huko akaketi pamoja na walinzi, akiota moto.
And Peter followed Him at a distance, even into the palace of the high priest: and sat down among the servants, and warmed himself at 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 all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, to put Him to death, and found none:
56 Wengi walitoa ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake, lakini maelezo yao hayakukubaliana.
for many bare false witness against Him, and the evidences did not agree.
57 Ndipo wengine wakasimama wakatoa ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake, wakisema:
At last there rose up some and bare false witness against Him,
58 “Sisi tulimsikia akisema, ‘Mimi nitalibomoa Hekalu hili lililojengwa na wanadamu, na katika siku tatu nitajenga jingine ambalo halikujengwa na wanadamu.’”
saying, 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.
but neither was their evidence consistent.
60 Basi kuhani mkuu akasimama mbele yao, akamuuliza Yesu, “Je, wewe hutajibu? Ni ushahidi gani hawa watu wanauleta dhidi yako?”
Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus saying, Answerest thou nothing? what do these men witness against thee?
61 Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya, hakusema neno lolote. Kuhani mkuu akamuuliza tena, “Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu Aliyebarikiwa?”
but he held his peace, and made him no answer. So the high priest asked Him again, and saith to Him, Art thou the Messiah the Son of the blessed God?
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 ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Kuhani mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi zaidi?
Then the high priest rent his clothes and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?
64 Ninyi mmesikia hayo makufuru. Uamuzi wenu ni gani?” Wote wakamhukumu kwamba anastahili kifo.
ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? and they all condemned Him as 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.
And they spit upon Him, and blind-folded Him, and then buffeted Him and said to Him, prophesy who it was: and the officers struck him with their rods.
66 Petro alipokuwa bado yuko chini kwenye ua wa jumba la kifalme, tazama akaja mmoja wa watumishi wa kike wa kuhani mkuu.
And Peter being in the hall below, there came one of the maid-servants of the high priest;
67 Alipomwona Petro akiota moto, akamtazama sana, akamwambia, “Wewe pia ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu, Mnazareti.”
and when she saw Peter as he was warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him and said, Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarene:
68 Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “Sijui wala sielewi unalosema.” Naye akaondoka kuelekea kwenye njia ya kuingilia.
but he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, nor do I understand what thou meanest. And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew.
69 Yule mtumishi wa kike alipomwona mahali pale, akawaambia tena wale waliokuwa wamesimama hapo, “Huyu mtu ni mmoja wao.”
And the maid seeing him again said to them that stood by, This is one of them: and he denied it again.
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!”
And a little after, they that stood by, said to Peter again, Thou art certainly one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like theirs.
71 Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuwaapia, “Mimi simjui huyu mtu mnayesema habari zake!”
But he began to curse and swear saying, I do not know this man of whom ye speak: And the cock crowed a second time.
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.
Then Peter called to mind the word which Jesus had said to him, Before the cock crow twice thou wilt deny me thrice. And he covered his face and wept.
