< Luka 22 >

1 Basi Sikukuu ya Mkate Usiyotiwa Chachu ilikuwa imekaribia, ambayo inaitwa Pasaka.
Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread was approaching, which is called the Passover.
2 Makuhani wakuu na waandishi wakajadiliana namna ya kumuua Yesu, kwa sababu waliwaogopa watu.
The chief priests and the scribes discussed how they could put Jesus to death, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Shetani akaingia ndani ya Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi Kumi na mbili.
Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
4 Yuda akaenda kujadiliana na wakuu wa makuhani na wakuu namna ambavyo atamkabidhi Yesu kwao.
Judas went to the chief priests and captains and discussed with them how he would betray Jesus to them.
5 Walifurahi, na kukubaliana kumpa fedha.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 Yeye aliridhia, na alitafuta fursa ya kumkabidhi Yesu kwao mbali na kundi la watu.
He consented, and looked for an opportunity to deliver him to them away from the crowd.
7 Siku ya mikate isiyotiwa chachu ikafika, ambapo kondoo wa Pasaka lazima atolewe.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohana, akasema, “Nendeni mkatuandalie chakula cha Pasaka ili tuje tukile.”
So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, so that we may eat it.”
9 Wakamuuliza, “Wapi unataka tuyafanyie hayo maandalizi?”
They said to him, “Where do you want us to make preparations?”
10 Akawajibu, “Sikilizeni, mtakapokuwa mmeingia mjini, mwanamume ambaye amebeba mtungi wa maji atakutana na ninyi. Mfuateni kwenye nyumba ambayo ataingia.
He answered them, “Listen, when you have entered the city, a man bearing a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he goes into.
11 Kisha mwambieni bwana wa nyumba, “Mwalimu anakwambia, “Kiko wapi chumba cha wageni, mahali ambapo nitakula Pasaka na wanafunzi wangu?”
Then say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?”'
12 Atawaonyesha chumba cha ghorofani ambacho kiko tayari. Fanyeni maandalizi humo.”
He will show you a large furnished upper room. Make the preparations there.”
13 Hivyo wakaenda, na wakakuta kila kitu kama alivyowaambia. Kisha wakaandaa chakula cha Pasaka.
So they went, and found everything as he had said to them. Then they prepared the Passover meal.
14 Muda ulipofika alikaa na wale mitume.
When the time came, he sat down with the apostles.
15 Kisha akawaambia, “Nina shauku kubwa ya kula sikukuu hii ya Pasaka na ninyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.
Then he said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 Kwa maana nawaambieni, sitakula tena mpaka itakapotimizwa katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 Kisha Yesu akachukua kikombe, na alipokwisha kushukuru, akasema, “Chukueni hiki, na mgawane ninyi kwa ninyi.
Then Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves.
18 Kwa maana nawaambia, sitakunywa tena mzao wa mzabibu, mpaka ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”
For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 Kisha akachukua mkate, na alipokwisha kushukuru, akaumega, na kuwapa, akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu ambao umetolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka mimi.”
Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
20 Akachukua kikombe vivyo hivyo baada ya chakula cha usiku akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya katika damu yangu, ambayo imemwagika kwa ajili yenu.
He took the cup in the same way after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Lakini angalieni. Yule anisalitie yuko pamoja nami mezani.
But pay attention. The one who betrays me is with me at the table.
22 Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu kwa kweli aenda zake kama ilivyokwisha amuliwa. Lakini ole kwa mtu yule ambaye kupitia yeye Mwana wa Adamu asalitiwa!”
For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
23 Wakaanza kuulizana wao kwa wao, nani miongoni mwao ambaye angefanya jambo hili.
They began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who would do this.
24 Kisha yakatokea mabishano katikati yao kwamba ni nani anaye dhaniwa kuwa mkuu kuliko wote.
Then there arose also a quarrel among them about which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 Akawaambia, “Wafalme wa watu wa mataifa wana ubwana juu yao, na wale mwenye mamlaka juu yao wanaitwa waheshimiwa watawala.
He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are masters over them, and the ones who have authority over them are referred to as those who do good to their people.
26 Lakini haitakiwi kabisa kuwa hivi kwenu ninyi. Badala yake, acha yule ambaye ni mkubwa kati yenu awe kama mdogo. Na yule ambaye ni wa muhimu sana awe kama atumikaye.
But it must not be like this with you. Instead, let the one who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and let the one who is the most important become like the one who serves.
27 Kwa sababu yupi mkubwa, yule akaaye mezani au yule anayetumika? Je si yule aketie mezani? Na mimi bado ni kati yenu kama atumikaye.
For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.
28 Lakini ninyi ndio ambao mmeendelea kuwa nami katika majaribu yangu.
But you are the ones who have continued with me in my temptations.
29 Nawapa ninyi ufalme, kama vile Baba alivyonipa mimi ufalme,
I give to you a kingdom, even as my Father has given a kingdom to me,
30 kwamba mpate kula na kunywa mezani kwangu kwenye ufalme wangu. Na mtakaa kwenye viti vya enzi mkizihukumu kabila kumi na mbili za Israel.
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simoni, Simoni, fahamu kwamba, Shetani ameomba awapate ili awapepete kama ngano.
Simon, Simon, be aware, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.
32 Lakini nimekuombea, kwamba imani yako isishindwe. Baada ya kuwa umerudi tena, waimarishe ndugu zako.”
But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. After you have turned back again, strengthen your brothers.”
33 Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, niko tayari kwenda na wewe gerezani na hata katika mauti.”
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”
34 Yesu akajibu, “Nakwambia, Petro, Jogoo hatawika leo, kabla hujanikana mara tatu kwamba unanijua.”
Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, before you deny three times that you know me.”
35 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Nilipowapeleka ninyi bila mfuko, kikapu cha vyakula, ua viatu, je mlipungukiwa na kitu?” Wakajibu “Hakuna.”
Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a purse, a bag of provisions, or shoes, did you lack anything?” They answered, “Nothing.”
36 Kisha akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, kila mwenye mfuko, na auchukue pamoja na kikapu cha vyakula. Yule ambaye hana upanga imempasa auze joho lake anunue mmoja.
Then he said to them, “But now, the one who has a purse, let him take it, and also a bag of provisions. The one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
37 Kwa sababu nawaambia, yote ambayo yameandikwa kwa ajili yangu lazima yatimilike, 'Na alichukuliwa kama mtu ambaye anavunja torati.' Kwa sababu kile kilichotabiriwa kwa ajili yangu kinatimizwa.”
For I say to you, what is written about me must be fulfilled, 'He was counted with the lawless ones.' For what is predicted about me is being fulfilled.”
38 Kisha wakasema, “Bwana, tazama! Hizi hapa panga mbili.” Na akawaambia”yatosha.”
Then they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.” He said to them, “It is enough.”
39 Baada ya chakula cha usiku, Yesu aliondoka, kama ambavyo amekuwa akifanya mara kwa mara, akaenda mlima wa Mzeituni, na wanafunzi wakamfuata.
Jesus went, as he often did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
40 Walipofika, aliwaambia, “Ombeni kwamba msiingie majaribuni.”
When they arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.”
41 Akaenda mbali na wao kama mrusho wa jiwe, akapiga magoti akaomba,
He went away from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42 akisema, “Baba, kama unataka, niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nitakavyo mimi, lakini mapenzi yako yafanyike.”
saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done.”
43 Kisha malaika kutoka mbinguni akamtokea, akamtia nguvu.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 Akiwa katika kuugua, akaomba kwa dhati zaidi, na jasho lake likawa kama matone makubwa ya damu yakidondoka chini.
Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
45 Wakati alipoamka kutoka katika maombi yake, alikuja kwa wanafunzi, na akawakuta wamelala kwa sababu ya huzuni yao,
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow,
46 na akawauliza, “Kwanini mnalala? Amkeni muombe, kwamba msiingie majaribuni.”
and asked them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.”
47 Wakati alipokuwa bado akiongea, tazama, kundi kubwa la watu likatokea, na Yuda, mmoja wa mitume kumi na wawili akiwaongoza. Akaja karibu na Yesu ili ambusu,
While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd appeared, with Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him,
48 lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda, je unamsaliti Mwana wa Adamu kwa busu?”
but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 Wakati wale waliokuwa karibu na Yesu walipoona hayo yanayotokea, wakasema, “Bwana, je tuwapige kwa upanga?”
When those who were around Jesus saw what was happening, they said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”
50 Kisha mmoja wao akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, akamkata sikio lake la kulia.
Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 Yesu akasema, “hii inatosha. Na akagusa sikio lake, akamponya.
Jesus said, “That is enough!” He touched his ear, and healed him.
52 Yesu akasema kwa kuhani mkuu, na kwa wakuu wa hekalu, na kwa wazee waliokuja kinyume chake, “Je mnakuja kana kwamba mnakuja kupambana na mnyang'anyi, na marungu na mapanga?
Jesus said to the chief priests, to the captains of the temple, and to elders who came against him, “Do you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 Nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi siku zote kwenye hekalu, hamkuweka mikono yenu juu yangu. Lakini hii ni saa yako, na mamlaka ya giza.”
When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay your hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness.”
54 Wakamkamata, wakamuongoza, wakamleta nyumbani mwa kuhani mkuu. Lakini Petro akamfuatilia kwa mbali.
Seizing him, they led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55 Baada ya kuwa wamewasha moto katika ule uwanda wa ndani na walipokwisha kukaa chini pamoja, Petro akakaa katikati yao.
After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
56 Mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamuona Petro alipokuwa amekaa katika mwanga utokanao na moto, akamtazama akamwambia, “Huyu mtu pia alikuwa pamoja naye.”
A certain female servant saw him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looked straight at him and said, “This man also was with him.”
57 Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “mwanamke, mimi simjui.”
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
58 Baada ya muda kidogo, mtu mwingine akamuona akasema “Wewe pia ni mmoja wao”. Lakini Petro akajibu, “Mwanaume, mimi siyo.”
After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You are also one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
59 Baada ya kama saa moja hivi, mwanaume mmoja akasisitiza akasema, “Kweli kabisa huyu mtu pia alikuwa pamoja naye, maana ni Mgalilaya.”
After about an hour another man insisted and said, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean.”
60 Lakini Petro akasema, “Mwanaume, sijui usemalo.” Na mara, wakati akiongea, jogoo akawika.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” Immediately, while he was speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Akageuka, Bwana akamtazama Petro. Na Petro akalikumbuka neno la Bwana, pale alipomwambia, “Kabla ya jogoo kuwika leo, utanikana mimi mara tatu.”
Turning, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, when he said to him, “Before a rooster crows today you will deny me three times.”
62 Akienda nje, Petro akalia kwa uchungu mwingi.
Peter went outside and wept bitterly.
63 Kisha wale wanaume waliokuwa wakimlinda Yesu, wakamdhihaki na kumpiga.
Then the men guarding Jesus mocked and beat him.
64 Baada ya kumfunika macho, wakamuuliza, wakisema, “Tabiri! Ni nani aliyekupiga?”
They put a cover over him and asked him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?”
65 Wakaongea mambo mengine mengi kinyume cha Yesu na kumkufuru yeye.
They spoke many other things against Jesus, blaspheming him.
66 Mara ilipokuwa asubuhi, wazee wa watu walikusanyika pamoja, wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi. Wakampeleka kwenye Baraza,
As soon as it was day, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. They led him into the council
67 wakisema, “Kama wewe ni Kristo, tuambie.” Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Kama nikiwaambia, hamtaniamini,
and said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,
68 na kama nikiwauliza hamtanijibu.”
and if I ask you, you will not answer.
69 Lakini kuanzia sasa na kuendelea, Mwana wa Adamu atakuwa amekaa mkono wa kuume wa nguvu ya Mungu.”
But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70 Wote wakasema, “Kwa hiyo wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu?” Na Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi mmesema mimi ndiye.”
They all said, “Then you are the Son of God?” Jesus said to them, “You say that I am.”
71 Wakasema, “Kwa nini bado tunahitaji tena ushahidi? Kwa sababu sisi wenyewe tumesikia kutoka katika kinywa chake mwenyewe.”
They said, “Why do we still need a witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.”
