Mathayo 26
1 Yesu alipomaliza kusema hayo yote, akawaambia wanafunzi wake,
And it came to pass, when Yahushua had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 “Kama mnavyojua, baada ya siku mbili itakuwa Pasaka, naye Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa ili asulubiwe.”
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Basi viongozi wa makuhani na wazee wa watu wakakusanyika katika jumba la utawala la kuhani mkuu, jina lake Kayafa.
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 Wakafanya shauri ili kumkamata Yesu kwa siri na kumuua.
And consulted that they might take Yahushua by subtilty, and kill him.
5 Lakini wakasema, “Isiwe wakati wa Sikukuu, kusitokee ghasia miongoni mwa watu.”
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 Yesu alikuwa Bethania nyumbani mwa Simoni aliyekuwa na ukoma,
Now when Yahushua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 naye mwanamke mmoja akamjia akiwa na chupa ya marhamu yenye manukato ya thamani kubwa; akayamimina kichwani mwa Yesu alipokuwa ameketi mezani kula chakula.
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 Lakini wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakakasirika, wakasema, “Upotevu huu wote ni wa nini?
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 Manukato haya yangeuzwa kwa bei kubwa, na fedha hizo wakapewa maskini.”
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 Yesu, akijua jambo hili, akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mwanamke? Yeye amenitendea jambo zuri sana.
When Yahushua understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote, lakini mimi hamtakuwa nami siku zote.
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 Alipomiminia haya manukato kwenye mwili wangu, amefanya hivyo ili kuniandaa kwa ajili ya maziko yangu.
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Amin, nawaambia, mahali popote ulimwenguni ambapo hii Injili itahubiriwa, jambo hili alilolitenda huyu mwanamke litatajwa pia kwa ukumbusho wake.”
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Kisha mmojawapo wa wale kumi na wawili, aitwaye Yuda Iskariote, alikwenda kwa viongozi wa makuhani
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 na kuuliza, “Mtanipa nini nikimtia Yesu mikononi mwenu?” Wakamlipa vipande thelathini vya fedha.
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 Tangu wakati huo Yuda akawa anatafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti Yesu.
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Siku ya kwanza ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, wanafunzi walimjia Yesu wakamuuliza, “Unataka twende wapi ili tukuandalie mahali pa kula Pasaka?”
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yahushua, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 Akajibu, “Nendeni kwa mtu fulani huko mjini, mkamwambie, ‘Mwalimu asema hivi: Saa yangu imekaribia. Nitaiadhimisha Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu katika nyumba yako.’”
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Rabbi saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 Hivyo wanafunzi wakafanya kama vile Yesu alivyokuwa amewaelekeza, nao wakaandaa Pasaka.
And the disciples did as Yahushua had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Ilipofika jioni, Yesu alikuwa ameketi mezani pamoja na wale wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 Nao walipokuwa wakila, Yesu akasema, “Amin, nawaambia, mmoja wenu atanisaliti.”
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Wakahuzunika sana, wakaanza kumuuliza mmoja baada ya mwingine, “Je, ni mimi Bwana?”
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, My master, is it I?
23 Yesu akawaambia, “Yule aliyechovya mkono wake katika bakuli pamoja nami ndiye atakayenisaliti.
And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 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 goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Kisha Yuda, yule mwenye kumsaliti, akasema, “Je, ni mimi Rabi?” Yesu akajibu, “Naam, wewe mwenyewe umesema.”
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Rabbi, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, na kuwapa wanafunzi wake, akisema, “Twaeni, mle; huu ndio mwili wangu.”
And as they were eating, Yahushua took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 Kisha akakitwaa kikombe, akashukuru, akawapa, akisema, “Nyweni nyote katika kikombe hiki.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 Hii ndiyo damu yangu ya Agano, imwagikayo kwa ajili ya wengi kwa ondoleo la dhambi.
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 Lakini ninawaambia, tangu sasa sitakunywa tena katika uzao huu wa mzabibu, hadi siku ile nitakapounywa mpya pamoja nanyi katika Ufalme wa Baba yangu.”
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 Walipokwisha kuimba wimbo, wakatoka wakaenda Mlima wa Mizeituni.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Usiku huu, ninyi nyote mtaniacha, kwa maana imeandikwa: “‘Nitampiga mchungaji, nao kondoo wa hilo kundi watatawanyika.’
Then saith Yahushua unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
32 Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia kwenda Galilaya.”
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Petro akajibu, “Hata kama wote watakuacha, kamwe mimi sitakuacha.”
Kepha answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Yesu akamjibu, “Amin, nakuambia, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
Yahushua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Lakini Petro akasisitiza, “Hata kama itabidi kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Nao wanafunzi wale wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
Kepha said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Kisha Yesu akaenda pamoja na wanafunzi wake mpaka kwenye bustani iitwayo Gethsemane, akawaambia, “Kaeni hapa, nami niende kule nikaombe.”
Then cometh Yahushua with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 Akamchukua Petro pamoja na wale wana wawili wa Zebedayo, akaanza kuhuzunika na kufadhaika.
And he took with him Kepha and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Moyo wangu umejawa na huzuni kiasi cha kufa. Kaeni hapa na mkeshe pamoja nami.”
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 Akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akaomba akisema, “Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, kikombe hiki na kiniondokee. Lakini si kama nipendavyo mimi, bali kama upendavyo wewe.”
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 Kisha akarudi kwa wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala. Akamuuliza Petro, “Je, ninyi hamkuweza kukesha pamoja nami hata kwa saa moja?
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Kepha, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 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 flesh is weak.
42 Akaenda tena mara ya pili na kuomba, “Baba yangu, kama haiwezekani kikombe hiki kiniepuke nisikinywe, basi mapenzi yako yafanyike.”
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 Aliporudi, akawakuta tena wamelala kwa sababu macho yao yalikuwa mazito.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 Hivyo akawaacha akaenda zake tena mara ya tatu na kuomba akisema maneno yale yale.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Kisha akarudi kwa wanafunzi wake, akawaambia, “Bado mmelala na kupumzika? Tazameni, saa imefika ambapo Mwana wa Adamu anasalitiwa na kutiwa mikononi mwa wenye dhambi.
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Inukeni, twende zetu! Tazameni, msaliti wangu yuaja!”
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47 Alipokuwa bado anazungumza, Yuda, mmoja wa wale Kumi na Wawili, akafika. Alikuwa amefuatana na umati mkubwa wa watu wenye panga na marungu, waliokuwa wametumwa na viongozi wa makuhani na wazee wa watu.
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Basi msaliti alikuwa amewapa hao watu ishara, kwamba: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye. Mkamateni.”
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49 Mara Yuda akamjia Yesu na kumsalimu, “Salamu, Rabi!” Akambusu.
And forthwith he came to Yahushua, and said, Greetings, Rabbi; and kissed him.
50 Yesu akamwambia, “Rafiki, fanya kile ulichokuja kufanya hapa.” Kisha wale watu wakasogea mbele, wakamkamata Yesu.
And Yahushua said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Yahushua, and took him.
51 Ghafula mmoja wa wale waliokuwa na Yesu alipoona hivyo, akaushika upanga wake, akauchomoa na kumpiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, akamkata sikio.
And, behold, one of them which were with Yahushua stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52 Ndipo Yesu akamwambia, “Rudisha upanga wako mahali pake, kwa maana wote watumiao upanga watakufa kwa upanga.
Then said Yahushua unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Je, unadhani siwezi kumwomba Baba yangu naye mara moja akaniletea zaidi ya majeshi kumi na mawili ya malaika?
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Lakini je, yale Maandiko yanayotabiri kwamba ni lazima itendeke hivi yatatimiaje?”
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 Wakati huo, Yesu akawaambia ule umati wa watu, “Je, mmekuja na panga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyangʼanyi? Siku kwa siku niliketi Hekaluni nikifundisha, mbona hamkunikamata?
In that same hour said Yahushua to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 Lakini haya yote yametukia ili maandiko ya manabii yapate kutimia.” Ndipo wanafunzi wake wote wakamwacha na kukimbia.
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 Wale waliokuwa wamemkamata Yesu wakampeleka kwa Kayafa, kuhani mkuu, mahali ambapo walimu wa sheria pamoja na wazee walikuwa wamekusanyika.
And they that had laid hold on Yahushua led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 Lakini Petro akamfuata kwa mbali hadi uani kwa kuhani mkuu. Akaingia ndani, akaketi pamoja na walinzi ili aone litakalotukia.
But Kepha followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Viongozi wa makuhani na Baraza la Wayahudi lote wakatafuta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi ya Yesu ili wapate kumuua.
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Yahushua, to put him to death;
60 Lakini hawakupata jambo lolote, ingawa mashahidi wengi wa uongo walijitokeza. Hatimaye wakajitokeza mashahidi wawili wa uongo
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 na kusema, “Huyu mtu alisema, ‘Ninaweza kulivunja Hekalu la Mungu na kulijenga tena kwa siku tatu.’”
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of Elohim, and to build it in three days.
62 Kisha kuhani mkuu akasimama na kumwambia Yesu, “Je, wewe hutajibu? Ni ushahidi gani hawa watu wanauleta dhidi yako?”
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63 Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya. Ndipo kuhani mkuu akamwambia, “Nakuapisha mbele za Mungu aliye hai. Tuambie kama wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu.”
But Yahushua held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living Elohim, that thou tell us whether thou be the Messiah, the Son of the Almighty.
64 Yesu akajibu, “Wewe umenena. Lakini ninawaambia nyote: Siku za baadaye, mtamwona Mwana wa Adamu akiwa ameketi mkono wa kuume wa Mwenye Nguvu, na akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni.”
Yahushua saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Ndipo kuhani mkuu akararua mavazi yake na kusema, “Amekufuru! Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi zaidi? Tazama, sasa ninyi mmesikia hayo makufuru.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 Uamuzi wenu ni gani?” Wakajibu, “Anastahili kufa.”
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Kisha wakamtemea mate usoni na wengine wakampiga ngumi. Wengine wakampiga makofi
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 na kusema, “Tutabirie, wewe Kristo! Ni nani aliyekupiga?”
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Messiah, Who is he that smote thee?
69 Wakati huu Petro alikuwa amekaa nje uani. Mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamjia na kumwambia, “Wewe pia ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Galilaya.”
Now Kepha sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Yahushua of Galilee.
70 Lakini Petro akakana mbele yao wote akisema, “Sijui hilo usemalo.”
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 Alipotoka nje kufika kwenye lango, mtumishi mwingine wa kike alimwona, akawaambia watu waliokuwepo, “Huyu mtu alikuwa pamoja na Yesu, Mnazareti.”
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Yahushua of Nazareth.
72 Akakana tena kwa kiapo akisema, “Mimi simjui huyo!”
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 Baada ya muda mfupi, wale waliokuwa wamesimama pale wakamwendea Petro, wakamwambia, “Hakika wewe ni mmoja wao, kwa maana usemi wako ni kama wao.”
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Kepha, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Ndipo Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuwaapia, “Mimi simjui mtu huyo!” Papo hapo jogoo akawika.
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Ndipo Petro akakumbuka lile neno Yesu alilokuwa amesema: “Kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.” Naye akaenda nje, akalia kwa majonzi.
And Kepha remembered the word of Yahushua, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
