Marko 15
1 Asubuhi na mapema, viongozi wa makuhani, pamoja na wazee, walimu wa sheria na Baraza lote, wakafikia uamuzi. Wakamfunga Yesu, wakamchukua na kumkabidhi kwa Pilato.
Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 Pilato akamuuliza, “Je, wewe ndiye Mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akajibu, “Wewe umesema.”
Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "You say so."
3 Viongozi wa makuhani wakamshtaki kwa mambo mengi.
The chief priests accused him of many things.
4 Pilato akamuuliza tena, “Je, huna la kujibu? Tazama ni mashtaka mangapi wanayaleta juu yako.”
Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you."
5 Lakini Yesu hakujibu lolote, hivyo Pilato akashangaa.
But Jesus made no further answer, and Pilate was amazed.
6 Ilikuwa desturi wakati wa Sikukuu ya Pasaka kumfungulia mfungwa yeyote ambaye watu wangemtaka.
Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they requested.
7 Wakati huo, mtu aliyeitwa Baraba alikuwa amefungwa gerezani pamoja na waasi wengine waliokuwa wametekeleza uuaji wakati wa maasi.
There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8 Ule umati wa watu ukamjia Pilato na kumwomba awafanyie kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake.
And the crowd went up and began to ask him to do for them according to his custom.
9 Pilato akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafungulie huyu Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
10 Kwa maana yeye alitambua kuwa viongozi wa makuhani walikuwa wamemtia Yesu mikononi mwake kwa ajili ya wivu.
For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
11 Lakini viongozi wa makuhani wakauchochea ule umati wa watu wamwombe awafungulie Baraba badala yake.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
12 Pilato akawauliza tena, “Basi mnataka nifanye nini na huyu mtu mnayemwita Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
13 Wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Msulubishe!”
They shouted again, "Crucify him."
14 Pilato akawauliza, “Kwa nini? Amefanya kosa gani?” Lakini wao wakapiga kelele kwa nguvu zaidi, wakisema, “Msulubishe!”
Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him."
15 Pilato, akitaka kuuridhisha ule umati wa watu, akawafungulia Baraba. Naye baada ya kuamuru Yesu achapwe mijeledi, akamtoa ili asulubishwe.
Pilate, wishing to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
16 Askari wakampeleka Yesu hadi kwenye ukumbi wa ndani wa jumba la kifalme, ndio Praitorio, wakakusanya kikosi kizima cha askari.
The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
17 Wakamvalisha Yesu joho la zambarau, wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamvika kichwani.
They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
18 Wakaanza kumsalimu kwa dhihaka, “Salamu, mfalme wa Wayahudi!”
They began to salute him, "Greetings, King of the Jews."
19 Wakampiga kwa fimbo ya mwanzi tena na tena kichwani na kumtemea mate. Wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakamsujudia kwa kumdhihaki.
They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
20 Walipokwisha kumdhihaki, wakamvua lile joho la zambarau, wakamvika tena nguo zake. Kisha wakamtoa nje ili wakamsulubishe.
When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
21 Mtu mmoja kutoka Kirene, jina lake Simoni, baba yao Aleksanda na Rufo, alikuwa anapita zake kuingia mjini kutoka shamba, nao wakamlazimisha kuubeba ule msalaba.
And they forced one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
22 Kisha wakampeleka Yesu mpaka mahali palipoitwa Golgotha (maana yake ni Mahali pa Fuvu la Kichwa).
And they brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is translated, "The place of a skull."
23 Nao wakampa divai iliyochanganywa na manemane, lakini hakuinywa.
They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it.
24 Basi wakamsulubisha, nazo nguo zake wakagawana miongoni mwao kwa kuzipigia kura ili kuamua ni gani kila mtu ataichukua.
Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
25 Ilikuwa yapata saa tatu asubuhi walipomsulubisha.
It was nine in the morning, and they crucified him.
26 Tangazo likaandikwa la mashtaka dhidi yake lenye maneno haya: “Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."
27 Pamoja naye walisulubiwa wanyangʼanyi wawili, mmoja upande wake wa kuume na mwingine upande wa kushoto. [
With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.
28 Nayo maandiko yakatimizwa, yale yasemayo, “Alihesabiwa pamoja na watenda dhambi.]”
And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And he was numbered with transgressors."
29 Watu waliokuwa wakipita njiani wakamtukana huku wakitikisa vichwa vyao na kusema, “Aha! Wewe ambaye utalivunja Hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu,
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha. You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
30 basi shuka kutoka msalabani na ujiokoe mwenyewe!”
save yourself and come down from the cross."
31 Vivyo hivyo, viongozi wa makuhani pamoja na walimu wa sheria wakamdhihaki miongoni mwao wakisema, “Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe!
Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He cannot save himself.
32 Basi huyu Kristo, huyu Mfalme wa Israeli, ashuke sasa kutoka msalabani, ili tupate kuona na kuamini.” Wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye pia wakamtukana.
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him insulted him.
33 Ilipofika saa sita, giza liliifunika nchi yote hadi saa tisa.
Now when it was noon, there was darkness over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
34 Mnamo saa tisa, Yesu akapaza sauti, akalia, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani?” (maana yake, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?”)
Then at three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Elohi, Elohi, lema shabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
35 Baadhi ya watu waliokuwa wamesimama karibu waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Msikieni, anamwita Eliya.”
Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Look, he is calling for Elijah."
36 Mtu mmoja akaenda mbio, akachovya sifongo kwenye siki, akaiweka kwenye mwanzi na akampa Yesu ili anywe, akisema, “Basi mwacheni. Hebu tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumshusha kutoka hapo msalabani.”
One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down."
37 Kisha Yesu akatoa sauti kuu, akakata roho.
Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up the spirit.
38 Pazia la Hekalu likachanika vipande viwili kuanzia juu hadi chini.
The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
39 Basi yule jemadari aliyekuwa amesimama hapo mbele ya msalaba wa Yesu aliposikia ile sauti yake na kuona jinsi alivyokata roho, akasema, “Hakika mtu huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu!”
And when the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God."
40 Walikuwepo pia wanawake waliokuwa wakiangalia kwa mbali. Miongoni mwao walikuwepo Maria Magdalene, na Maria mama yao Yakobo mdogo na Yose, pia na Salome.
There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Josi, and Salome;
41 Hawa walifuatana na Yesu na kushughulikia mahitaji yake alipokuwa Galilaya. Pia walikuwepo wanawake wengine wengi waliokuwa wamekuja pamoja naye Yerusalemu.
who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 Ilipofika jioni, kwa kuwa ilikuwa Siku ya Maandalizi, yaani siku moja kabla ya Sabato,
When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 Yosefu wa Arimathaya, mtu aliyeheshimiwa katika Baraza, na ambaye alikuwa anautarajia Ufalme wa Mungu, akamwendea Pilato kwa ujasiri na kumwomba mwili wa Yesu.
Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
44 Pilato alikuwa akijiuliza kama Yesu alikuwa amekwisha kufa. Hivyo akamwita yule jemadari, akamuuliza iwapo Yesu alikuwa amekwisha kufa.
Pilate was surprised that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
45 Baada ya kupata habari kutoka kwa yule jemadari kwamba kweli amekwisha kufa, Pilato akampa Yosefu ruhusa ya kuuchukua huo mwili.
When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 Hivyo Yosefu akanunua kitambaa cha kitani safi, akaushusha mwili kutoka msalabani, akaufunga katika kile kitambaa cha kitani, na kuuweka ndani ya kaburi lililochongwa kwenye mwamba. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kwenye ingilio la kaburi.
He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47 Maria Magdalene na Maria mamaye Yose walipaona mahali pale alipolazwa.
Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Josi, saw where he was placed.
