Mathayo 27
1 Asubuhi na mapema, viongozi wa makuhani wote na wazee wa watu wakafanya shauri pamoja dhidi ya Yesu ili kumuua.
As morning then having arrived counsel took all the chief priests and the elders of the people against Jesus so that they might put to death him,
2 Wakamfunga, wakampeleka na kumkabidhi kwa Pilato, ambaye alikuwa mtawala wa Kirumi.
And having bound Him they led away [Him] and delivered (Him to Pontius *K*) Pilate the governor.
3 Yuda, ambaye alikuwa amemsaliti Yesu, alipoona kuwa Yesu amehukumiwa, akajuta na akarudisha vile vipande thelathini vya fedha alivyopewa na viongozi wa makuhani na wazee wa watu.
Then having seen Judas the [one who] (betraying *NK(o)*) Him that He was condemned, having regretted [it] (he turned *N(k)O*) the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and (to the *k*) elders
4 Akasema, “Nimetenda dhambi, kwa maana nimeisaliti damu isiyo na hatia.” Wakamjibu, “Hilo latuhusu nini sisi? Ni shauri yako.”
saying; I sinned having betrayed blood (innocent. *NK(O)*) Then they said; What [is that] to us? You yourself will see.
5 Basi Yuda akavitupa vile vipande vya fedha ndani ya Hekalu akaondoka akaenda kujinyonga.
And having cast down the pieces of silver (into the temple *N(k)O*) he withdrew, and having gone away hanged himself.
6 Wale viongozi wa makuhani wakazichukua zile fedha wakasema, “Si halali kuchanganya fedha hizi na sadaka kwa sababu hizi ni fedha zenye damu.”
And the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver said; Not it is lawful to put them into the treasury since [the] price of blood it is.
7 Kwa hiyo baada ya kushauriana, waliamua kuzitumia kununulia shamba la mfinyanzi, liwe mahali pa kuzikia wageni.
Counsel then having taken they bought with them the field of the potter for a burial place for the strangers.
8 Hii ndiyo sababu lile shamba likaitwa Shamba la Damu hadi leo.
Therefore was called the field that Field of Blood until this day.
9 Ndipo likatimia lile lililonenwa na nabii Yeremia, kwamba, “Walichukua vile vipande thelathini vya fedha, thamani aliyopangiwa na watu wa Israeli,
Then was fulfilled that having been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet saying; And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the [One] priced, whom they set a price on by [the] sons of Israel,
10 wakanunulia shamba la mfinyanzi, kama vile Bwana alivyoniagiza.”
and they gave them for the field of the potter, as directed me [the] Lord
11 Wakati huo Yesu akiwa amesimama mbele ya mtawala, mtawala akamuuliza, “Wewe ndiye mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akasema, “Wewe wasema hivyo.”
And Jesus (stood *N(k)O*) before the governor; and questioned Him the governor saying; You yourself are the King of the Jews? And Jesus was saying (to him: *ko*) You yourself say.
12 Lakini viongozi wa makuhani na wazee walipomshtaki, hakujibu neno.
And in accusing of Him by the chief priests and (the *ko*) elders no [thing] He answered.
13 Ndipo Pilato akamuuliza, “Je, husikii ni mambo mangapi wanayokushtaki nayo?”
Then says to Him Pilate; Not do you hear how many things You they witness against?
14 Lakini Yesu hakumjibu hata kwa shtaka moja, kiasi kwamba mtawala alishangaa sana.
And not He did answer him to not even one word so as to amaze the governor exceedingly.
15 Basi ilikuwa ni desturi ya mtawala kumfungua mfungwa mmoja aliyechaguliwa na umati wa watu wakati wa sikukuu.
At now [the] feast had been accustomed the governor to release one to the multitude prisoner whom they were wishing.
16 Wakati huo alikuwepo mfungwa mmoja mwenye sifa mbaya, aliyeitwa Baraba.
They were holding now at that time a prisoner notable being named (Jesus *NO*) Barabbas.
17 Hivyo umati wa watu walipokusanyika, Pilato akawauliza, “Mnataka niwafungulie nani, Baraba au Yesu yeye aitwaye Kristo?”
When were assembled therefore they said to them Pilate; Whom do you want [that] I may release to you? (Jesus *NO*) (*no*) Barabbas or Jesus who is named Christ?
18 Kwa kuwa alitambua Yesu alikuwa amekabidhiwa kwake kwa ajili ya wivu.
He knew for that through envy they delivered up him.
19 Pilato akiwa ameketi kwenye kiti cha hukumu, mkewe akampelekea ujumbe huu: “Usiwe na jambo lolote juu ya mtu huyu asiye na hatia, kwa kuwa leo nimeteseka sana katika ndoto kwa sababu yake.”
When was sitting now he on the judgment seat sent to him the wife of him saying; [Let there be] nothing between you and the righteous [man] that; many things for I suffered today in a dream because of Him.
20 Lakini viongozi wa makuhani na wazee wakaushawishi ule umati wa watu kwamba waombe Baraba afunguliwe, naye Yesu auawe.
And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they may ask for Barabbas, and Jesus may destroy.
21 Mtawala akawauliza tena, “Ni yupi kati ya hawa wawili mnayetaka niwafungulie?” Wakajibu, “Baraba.”
Answering now the governor said to them; Which do you desire of the two I may release to you? And they said; (*no*) Barabbas.
22 Pilato akawaambia, “Basi nifanye nini na huyu Yesu aitwaye Kristo?” Wakajibu wote, “Msulubishe!”
Says to them Pilate; What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They say (to him *k*) all; he should be crucified.
23 Pilato akauliza, “Kwa nini? Amefanya kosa gani?” Lakini wao wakazidi kupiga kelele, wakisema, “Msulubishe!”
And (governor *k*) was saying: What for evil did He commit? And excessively they were crying out saying; he should be crucified.
24 Pilato alipoona kwamba hawezi kufanya lolote, lakini badala yake ghasia zilikuwa zinaanza, akachukua maji, akanawa mikono yake mbele ya ule umati wa watu, akasema, “Sina hatia juu ya damu ya mtu huyu, hili ni jukumu lenu!”
Having seen now Pilate that no [thing] it availed but rather a riot is arising, having taken water he washed the hands (opposite *NK(o)*) the crowd saying; Guiltless I am of the blood (righteous [one] *KO*) of this; For yourselves you will behold.
25 Watu wote wakajibu, “Damu yake na iwe juu yetu na juu ya watoto wetu!”
And answering all the people said; The blood of Him [be] on us and on the children of us.
26 Basi akawafungulia Baraba. Lakini baada ya kuamuru Yesu achapwe mijeledi, akamtoa ili asulubishwe.
Then he released to them Barabbas; and Jesus having flogged He delivered up [Him] that He may be crucified.
27 Kisha askari wa mtawala wakampeleka Yesu kwenye Praitorio na wakakusanya kikosi kizima cha askari kumzunguka.
Then the soldiers of the governor having taken with [them] Jesus to the Praetorium gathered before Him all the cohort,
28 Wakamvua nguo zake na kumvika vazi la rangi nyekundu, kisha
And having stripped Him a robe scarlet they put around Him,
29 wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakaiweka kichwani pake. Wakamwekea fimbo katika mkono wake wa kuume, na wakapiga magoti mbele zake na kumdhihaki, wakisema, “Salamu, mfalme wa Wayahudi!”
And having twisted together a crown of thorns they put [it] on (the head *N(k)O*) of Him and a reed (in the right hand *N(k)O*) of Him, and having bowed the knees before Him (they mocked *N(k)O*) Him saying; Hail (the *k*) (King *N(k)O*) of the Jews!
30 Wakamtemea mate, wakachukua ile fimbo wakampiga kichwani tena na tena.
And having spit upon Him they took the reed and were striking [Him] on the head of Him.
31 Baada ya kumdhihaki, wakamvua lile joho, wakamvika tena nguo zake. Kisha wakampeleka ili wakamsulubishe.
And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the robe and they put on Him the garments of Him and led away Him to to crucify [Him].
32 Walipokuwa wakienda, wakakutana na mtu mmoja kutoka Kirene, jina lake Simoni, nao wakamlazimisha kuubeba ule msalaba.
Going forth now they found a man of Cyrene named Simon; Him they compelled that he may carry the cross of Him.
33 Wakafika mahali palipoitwa Golgotha (maana yake ni Mahali pa Fuvu la Kichwa).
And having come to a place being named Golgotha, (which *N(k)O*) is of a Skull Place being named,
34 Hapo wakampa Yesu divai iliyochanganywa na nyongo ili anywe; lakini alipoionja, akakataa kuinywa.
they gave Him to drink (wine *N(K)O*) with gall mingled, and having tasted not (He wished *N(k)O*) to drink [it].
35 Walipokwisha kumsulubisha wakagawana mavazi yake kwa kuyapigia kura. [Hili lilifanyika ili litimie lile neno lililonenwa na nabii, “Waligawa nguo zangu miongoni mwao na vazi langu wakalipigia kura.”]
having crucified now Him they divided the garments of Him casting lots, (so that may be fulfilled which having been spoken by prophet they divided the garments of mine themselves and upon the clothing of mine they cast lots *K*)
36 Kisha wakaketi, wakamchunga.
And sitting down they were guarding Him there,
37 Juu ya kichwa chake, kwenye msalaba, wakaandika shtaka lake hivi: Huyu ni Yesu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.
And they put up over the head of Him the accusation of Him written: This is Jesus the King of the Jews.
38 Wanyangʼanyi wawili walisulubiwa pamoja naye, mmoja upande wake wa kuume na mwingine upande wa kushoto.
At the same time are crucified with Him two robbers, one at [the] right hand and one at [the] left.
39 Watu waliokuwa wakipita njiani wakamtukana huku wakitikisa vichwa vyao
Those now passing by were denigrating Him wagging the heads of them
40 na kusema, “Wewe ambaye utalivunja Hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu, jiokoe mwenyewe basi! Kama wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu, shuka kutoka msalabani.”
and saying; You who [are] destroying the temple and in three days building [it], do save Yourself! If [the] Son You are of God, (also *n*) do descend from the cross!
41 Vivyo hivyo, viongozi wa makuhani, walimu wa sheria pamoja na wazee wakamdhihaki wakisema,
Likewise (now *ko*) also the chief priests mocking with the scribes and elders (and Pharisees *O*) were saying;
42 “Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe! Yeye ni Mfalme wa Israeli! Ashuke sasa kutoka msalabani, nasi tutamwamini.
Others He saved, Himself not is He able to save. (if *k*) King of Israel He is, he should descend now from the cross, and we will believe (in *no*) (Him. *N(k)O*)
43 Anamwamini Mungu, basi Mungu na amwokoe sasa kama anamtaka, kwa maana alisema, ‘Mimi ni Mwana wa Mungu.’”
He has trusted on God; he should deliver now (him *ko*) if He wants Him; He said for that Of God I am [the] Son.
44 Hata wale wanyangʼanyi waliosulubiwa pamoja naye wakamtukana vivyo hivyo.
And likewise even the robbers those having been crucified (with *no*) Him were upbraiding (Him. *N(k)O*)
45 Tangu saa sita hadi saa tisa giza liliifunika nchi yote.
From then [the] sixth hour darkness was over all the land until [the] hour ninth.
46 Ilipofika saa tisa, Yesu akapaza sauti akalia, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani?” (maana yake, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?”)
About then the ninth hour (cried out *NK(o)*) Jesus in a voice loud saying; (Eli Eli, *NK(o)*) lema sabachthani? That is: God of Mine God of Mine, so why so why Me have you forsaken?
47 Baadhi ya watu waliokuwa wamesimama pale waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Anamwita Eliya.”
Some then of those who there having stood listening were saying that Elijah calls this [man].
48 Ghafula mmoja wao akaenda mbio na kuleta sifongo, akaichovya kwenye siki, akaiweka kwenye mwanzi na akampa Yesu ili anywe.
And immediately having run one of them and having taken a sponge, having filled [it] and with vinegar and having put [it] on a reed were giving to drink Him.
49 Wengine wakasema, “Basi mwacheni. Hebu tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumwokoa.”
And the rest (were saying; *NK(o)*) Wait! let us see whether comes Elijah to then save Him. (another now having taken a spear pierced of him side and went out water and blood. *O*)
50 Yesu alipolia tena kwa sauti kuu, akaitoa roho yake.
And Jesus again having cried in a voice loud yielded up [His] spirit.
51 Wakati huo huo pazia la Hekalu likachanika vipande viwili, kuanzia juu hadi chini. Dunia ikatetemeka na miamba ikapasuka.
And behold the veil of the temple was torn from top until bottom into two, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,
52 Makaburi yakafunguka na miili ya watakatifu waliokuwa wamekufa ikafufuliwa.
and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the having fallen asleep saints (were raised, *N(k)O*)
53 Wakatoka makaburini, na baada ya Yesu kufufuka, waliingia kwenye Mji Mtakatifu na kuwatokea watu wengi.
and having gone forth out of the tombs after the resurrection of Him they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 Basi yule jemadari na wale waliokuwa pamoja naye wakimlinda Yesu walipoona lile tetemeko na yale yote yaliyokuwa yametukia, waliogopa, wakasema, “Hakika huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu!”
And the centurion and those with him keeping guard over Jesus having seen the earthquake and the [things that] (were happening *NK(o)*) feared greatly saying; Truly God’s Son was this.
55 Walikuwako wanawake huko wakiangalia kwa mbali. Hawa walikuwa wamemfuata Yesu tangu Galilaya ili kushughulikia mahitaji yake.
They were now there women many from afar off looking on who followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to Him,
56 Miongoni mwao walikuwepo Maria Magdalene, na Maria mama yao Yakobo na Yosefu, na mama yao wana wa Zebedayo.
among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary she of James and (of Joseph *N(k)O*) [the] mother and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Ilipofika jioni, alifika mtu mmoja tajiri kutoka Arimathaya aitwaye Yosefu, ambaye pia alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu.
When evening now having arrived came a man rich from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself (was discipled *N(K)O*) to Jesus.
58 Akamwendea Pilato ili kumwomba mwili wa Yesu. Pilato akaamuru apewe.
He having gone to Pilate asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up (the body. *ko*)
59 Yosefu akauchukua mwili wa Yesu, akaufunga katika kitambaa cha kitani safi,
And having taken the body Joseph wrapped it (in *no*) a linen cloth clean
60 na kuuweka katika kaburi lake mwenyewe jipya, alilokuwa amelichonga kwenye mwamba. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kubwa katika ingilio la kaburi, akaenda zake.
and placed it in the new of him tomb which he had cut in the rock, and having rolled a stone great to the door of the tomb he went away.
61 Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikuwepo mahali pale, wakiwa wameketi mkabala na kaburi.
Was now there Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Kesho yake, yaani siku iliyofuata ile ya Maandalizi ya Sabato, viongozi wa makuhani na Mafarisayo wakamwendea Pilato
on the And next day which is after the Preparation, were gathered together the chief priests and the Pharisees before Pilate
63 na kusema, “Bwana, tumekumbuka kwamba yule mdanganyifu wakati alikuwa bado hai alisema, ‘Baada ya siku tatu nitafufuka.’
saying; Sir, we have remembered how that [on, e] the deceiver said while living; After three days I arise.
64 Kwa hiyo uamuru kaburi lilindwe kwa uthabiti mpaka baada ya siku tatu. La sivyo, wanafunzi wake wanaweza kuja kuuiba mwili wake na kuwaambia watu kwamba amefufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu. Udanganyifu huu wa mwisho utakuwa mbaya kuliko ule wa kwanza.”
do command therefore to be secured the tomb until the third day, otherwise otherwise having come the disciples of Him (night *K*) may steal away him and they may say to the people; He is risen from the dead. And will be the last deception worse than the first.
65 Pilato akawaambia, “Ninyi mnao askari walinzi. Nendeni, liwekeeni ulinzi kadri mwezavyo.”
was saying (now *k*) to them Pilate; You have a guard; do go do make [it as] secure as you know [how].
66 Kwa hiyo wakaenda na walinzi ili kulilinda kaburi kwa uthabiti, wakatia muhuri kwenye lile jiwe na kuweka ulinzi.
And having gone they made secure the tomb having sealed the stone with the guard.
