Yohana 19
1 Basi Pilato alimchukua Yesu na kumchapa.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2 Wale maaskari wakasokota miiba na kutengeneza taji. Wakaiweka juu ya kichwa cha Yesu na kumvalisha vazi la rangi ya zambarau.
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
3 Wakamjia na kusema, “Wewe mfalme wa Wayahudi! na kisha kumpiga kwa mikono yao.
And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
4 Kisha Pilato alitoka nje na kuwaambia watu, “Tazama nawaleteeni huyu mtu kwenu ili mjue kwamba mimi sikuona hatia yoyote ndani yake.”
Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
5 Kwa hiyo Yesu akatoka nje; alikuwa amevaa taji ya miiba na vazi la zambarau. Ndipo Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni mtu huyu hapa!”
When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 Kwa hiyo wakati kuhani mkuu na wakuu walipomwona Yesu, wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Msulubishe, msulubishe.” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi wenyewe mkamsulubishe, kwa kuwa mimi sioni hatia ndani yake.”
As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
7 Wayahudi wakamjibu Pilato, “Sisi tunayo sheria, na kwa sheria hiyo inampasa kufa kwa sababu yeye alijifanya kuwa mwana wa Mungu.”
“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
8 Pilato aliposikia maneno haya alizidi kuogopa,
When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
9 akaingia Praitorio tena na kumwambia Yesu, “Wewe unatoka wapi? Hata hivyo, Yesu hakumjibu.
and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
10 Kisha Pilato akamwambia, “Je, wewe huongei na mimi? Je, wewe hujui kuwa mimi nina mamlaka ya kukufungua na mamlakaya kukusulubisha?”
So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
11 Yesu akamjibu, “Usingekuwa na nguvu dhidi yangu kama usingepewa toka juu. Kwa hiyo, mtu aliyenitoa kwako ana dhambi kubwa.”
Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
12 Kutokana na jibu hili, Pilato akataka kumwacha huru, lakini Wayahudi wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Kama utamwacha huru basi wewe si rafiki wa Kaisari: Kila ajifanyaye kuwa mfalme hunena kinyume cah kaisari.”
From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”
13 Pilato alipoyasikia maneno haya, akamleta Yesu nje kisha akakaa kwenye kiti cha hukumu mahali pale panapojulikana kama sakafu, lakini kwa Kiebrania, Gabatha.
When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.
14 Siku ya maandalizi ya pasaka ilipofika, panapo muda wa saa ya sita. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Tazameni mfalme wenu huyu hapa!”
It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
15 Wakapiga kelele, “Mwondoshe, mwondoshe, msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Je, nimsulubishe mfalme wenu?” Naye Kuhani mkuu akajibu, “Sisi hatuna mfalme isipokuwa Kaisari.”
At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
16 Ndipo Pilato alipomtoa Yesu kwao ili asulibiwe.
Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
17 Nao wakamchukua Yesu, naye akatoka, hali ameubeba msalaba wake mwenyewe mpaka kwenye eneo liitwalo fuvu la kichwa, kwa Kihebrania huitwa Golgotha.
Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
18 Ndipo walipomsulibisha Yesu, pamoja naye wanaume wawili, mmoja upende huu na mwingine upande huu, na Yesu katikati yao.
There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Kisha Pilato akaandika alama na kuiwekwa juu ya msalaba. Hapo paliandikwa: YESU MNAZARETH, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.
Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Wengi wa Wayahudi waliisoma alama hiyo kwani mahali pale aliposulibishwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji. Alama hiyo iliadikwa kwa Kiebrania, kwa Kirumi na kwa Kiyunani.
Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Kisha wakuu wa makuhani wa Wayahudi wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike, 'Mfalme wa Wayahudi; bali yeye alisema mimi ni mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Naye Pilato akawajibu, “Niliyoandika nimeandika.”
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Baada ya askari kumsulibisha Yesu, walichukua mavazi yake na kuyagawa katika mafungu manne, kila askari fungu moja, vivyo hivyo na kanzo, Sasa ile kanzu haikuwa imeshonwa bali ilkuwa imefumwa yote tokea juu.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 Kisha wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Tusiipasue, bali tupigeni kura ili kuona itakuwa ya nani.” Hili lilitokea ili lile andiko litimizwe, lile lisemalo waligawanya nguo zangu, na vazi langu wakalipigia kura.”
So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
25 Askari walifanya mambo haya. Mama yake Yesu, dada wa mama yake, Mariamu mke wa Kleopa na Mariamu Magdalena - wanawake hawa walikuwa wamesimama karibu na msalaba wa Yesu.
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26 Yesu alipomwona mama yake pamoja na yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda wakisimama karibu, akamwambia mama yake, “Mwanamke, tazama, ona mwanao huyu hapa!”
When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
27 Kisha akamwambia yule mwanfunzi, “Tazama, huyu hapa mama yako. “Tokea saa hiyo yule mwanafunzi akamchukua kwenda nyumbani kwake.
Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
28 Baada ya hilo, Hali Yesu akijua kuwa yote yamekwisha kumalizika ili kutimiza maandiko, akasema, “Naona kiu.”
After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29 Chombo kilichokuwa kimejaa Siki kilikuwa kimewekwa pale, kwa hiyo wakaweka sifongo iliyojaa siki juu ya ufito wa hisopo, wakamwekea mdomoni mwake.
A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30 Naye Yesu alipoionja hiyo, akasema, “Imekwisha.” Kisha akainamisha kichwa chake, akaikabidhi roho yake.
When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
31 Kwa vile ilikuwa ni wakati wa maandalio, na kwa sababu miili haikutakiwa kubaki juu ya msalaba wakati wa Sabato (kwa kuwa Sabato ilikuwa siku ya muhimu), wayahudi walimwomba Pilato kuwa miguu yao wale wliokuwa wamesulibishwa ivunjwe, na kwamba miili yao ishushwe.
It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 Ndipo askari walipokuja na kuvunja miguu ya mtu wa kwanza na wa pili aliyekuwa amesulibiwa pamoja na Yesu.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
33 Walipomfikia Yesu, walimkuta tayari alikuwa amekwisha kufa, kwa hiyo hawakuvunja miguu yake.
But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 Hata hivyo, mmoja wa askari alimchoma Yesu ubavuni kwa mkuki, na mara yakatoka maji na damu.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 Naye aliyeona hili ametoa ushuhuda, na ushuhuda wake ni wa kweli. Yeye anajua kuwa alichokisema ni cha kweli ili nanyi pia muamini.
The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36 Mambo haya yalikuwa ili lile neno lililonenwa lipate kutimia, “Hakuna hata wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
37 Tena andiko lingine husema, “Watamtazama yeye waliyemchoma”
And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
38 Baada ya mambo haya Yusufu wa Arimathaya, kwa vile alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu, lakini kwa siri kwa kuwaogopa Wayahudi, alimwomba Pilato kwamba auchukue mwili wa Yesu. Naye Pilato akampa ruhusa. Kwa hiyo Yusufu akaja kuuondoa mwili wa Yesu.
Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
39 Naye Nicodemo ambaye hapo awali alimfuata Yesu usiku naye akaja. Yeye alileta mchanganyiko wa manemane na udi, yapata uzito wa ratili mia moja.
Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
40 Kwa hiyo wakauchukua mwili wa Yesu wakaufanga kwenye sanda ya kitani na pamoja na yale manukato, kama ilivyokuwa desturi ya wayahudi wakati wa kuzika.
So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41 Mahali ambapo Yesu alisulibiwa kulikuwa na bustani; ndani ya ile bustani kulikuwa na kaburi jipya ambalo hakuna mtu alikuwa amawahi kuzikwa humo.
Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
42 Basi, kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya maandalio kwa Wayahudi, na kwa vile lile kaburi lilikuwa karibu, basi wakamlaza Yesu ndani yake.
And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
