Luka 23
1 Mkutano wote wakasimama, wakampeleka Yesu mbele ya Pilato.
Then the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.
2 Wakaanza kumshutumu, wakisema, “Tumemkuta mtu huyu akipotosha taifa letu, kwa kukataza tusitoe kodi kwa Kaisari, na akisema kwamba yeye mwenyewe ni Kristo, Mfalme.”
And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King.
3 Pilato akamuuliza, akisema, “Je wewe ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Na Yesu akamjibu akisema, “Wewe wasema hivyo”.
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.
4 Pilato akamuambia kuhani mkuu na makutano, “Sioni kosa kwa mtu huyu”.
Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.
5 Lakini wao wakasisitiza, wakisema, “Amekuwa akiwachochea watu, akifundisha katika Uyahudi yote, kuanzia Galilaya na sasa yuko hapa.”
But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.
6 Pilato aliposikia haya, akaulizia kama mtu huyo ni wa Galilaya?
Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
7 Alipotambua kuwa alikuwa chini ya utawala wa Herode, akampeleka Yesu kwa Herode, ambaye naye alikuwa Yerusalemu kwa siku hizo.
And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.
8 Herode alipomuona Yesu, alifurahi sana kwasababu alitaka kumuona kwa siku nyingi. Alisikia habari zake na alitamani kuona moja ya miujiza ikifanywa na yeye.
And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him.
9 Herode alimhoji Yesu kwa maneno mengi, lakini Yesu hakumjibu chochote.
Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.
10 Makuhani wakuu pamoja na waandishi walisimama kwa ukali wakimshitaki.
The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.
11 Herode pamoja na maaskari wake, walimtukana na kumdhihaki, na kumvika mavazi mazuri, kisha akamrudisha Yesu kwa Pilato.
And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.
12 Herode na Pilato wakawa marafiki kuanzia siku hiyo, (kabla ya hapo walikuwa maadui).
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.
13 Pilato akawaita pomoja makuhani wakuu na watawala na umati wa watu,
Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,
14 Akawaambia, “Mmeniletea mtu huyu kama mtu anaye waongoza watu wafanye mabaya, na tazama, baada ya kuwa nimemhoji mbele yenu, sikuona kosa kwa mtu huyu kuhusu mambo yote ambayo ninyi mnamshitaki yeye.
And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:
15 Hapana, wala Herode, kwa maana amemrudisha kwetu, na tazama hakuna chochote alichokifanya kinachostahili adhabu ya kifo.
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.
16 Kwahiyo basi nitamuadhibu na kumuachilia.
I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
17 (Sasa, Pilato anawajibika kumuachilia mfungwa mmoja kwa wayahudi wakati wa sikukuu).
(For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)
18 Lakini wote wakapiga kelele pamoja, wakisema, “Mwondoe huyo, na tufungulie Baraba!”
Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:
19 Baraba alikuwa ni mtu ambaye amewekwa gerezani kwa sababu ya uasi fulani katika jiji na kwa kuua.
Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.
20 Pilato akawaambia tena, akitamani kumwachilia Yesu.
Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.
21 Lakini wao wakapiga kelele, wakisema, “Msulibishe, msulibishe.”
But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.
22 Akawauliza kwa mara ya tatu, “kwa nini, huyu mtu amefanya maovu gani? Sikupata kosa linalostahili adhabu ya kifo kwake. Kwahiyo nitakapo maliza kumuadhibu nitamuachilia.”
And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
23 Lakini wakasisitiza kwa sauti ya juu, wakitaka asulubiwe. Na sauti zao zikamshawishi Pilato.
But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.
24 Hivyo Pilato akaamua kuwapatia matakwa yao.
So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.
25 Akamuachilia yule waliyemtaka ambaye alifungwa kwa kusababisha ghasia na kuua. Lakini akamtoa Yesu kwa matakwa yao.
And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.
26 Walipokuwa wakimpeleka, walimkamata mtu mmoja aitwaye Simoni wa Ukirene, akitokea katika nchi, wakamtwika msalaba ili abebe, akimfuata Yesu.
And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.
27 umati mkubwa wa watu, na wanawake ambao walihuzunika na kuomboleza kwa ajili yake, walikuwa wakimfuata.
And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.
28 Lakini akawageukia, Yesu akawaambia, 'Mabinti wa Yerusalemu, msinililie mimi, bali jililieni ninyi wenyewe na kwa ya ajili watoto wenu.
But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.
29 Tazama, siku zinakuja ambazo watasema, “Wamebarikiwa walio tasa na matumbo yasiyozaa, na matiti ambayo hayakunyonyesha.
For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.
30 Ndipo watakapo anza kuiambia milima, 'Tuangukieni,' na vilima, 'Mtufunike.'
Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.
31 Maana kama wakifanya mambo haya ikiwa mti mbichi, itakuwaje ukiwa mkavu?”
For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?
32 wanaume wengine, wahalifu wawili, walipelekwa pamoja naye ili wauwawe.
And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.
33 Walipofika mahali paitwapo Fuvu la kichwa, ndipo wakamsulubisha pamoja na wale wahalifu, mmoja upande wa kulia na mwingine upande wa kushoto.
And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at the left.
34 Yesu alisema, “Baba, uwasamehe, kwa kuwa hawajui watendalo. “Nao wakapiga kura, kugawa mavazi yake.
Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.
35 Watu walikuwa wamesimama wakiangalia huku watawala wakimdhihaki, wakisema, “Aliwaokoa wengine. Sasa ajiokoe mwenyewe, kama yeye ni Kristo wa Mungu, mteule”.
And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen of God.
36 Askari pia walimdharau, walimkaribia yeye na wakumpa siki,
The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,
37 wakisema, “Kama wewe ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi jiokoe mwenyewe”
And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.
38 Kulikuwa pia na alama juu yake iliyoandikwa “HUYU NDIYE MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.”
And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.
39 Mmoja wa wahalifu aliyesulubishwa alimtukana akisema, “Wewe si Kristo? jiokoe mwenyewe na sisi”
And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.
40 Lakini yule mwingine akajibu, akimkemea na akisema, “Je wewe humuogopi Mungu, nawe uko katika hukumu hiyo hiyo?
But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 Sisi tupo hapa kwa haki, kwa maana sisi tunapokea kile tunachostahili kwa matendo yetu. Lakini mtu huyu hakufanya chochote kibaya.”
We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.
42 Na aliongeza, “Yesu, nikumbuke utakapoingia katika ufalme wako.”
And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.
43 Yesu akamwambia, “Amini nakuambia, leo hii utakuwa pamoja nami Paradiso.”
Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 Hapo ilikuwa karibu saa ya sita, giza likaja juu ya nchi yote hadi saa ya tisa,
And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.
45 Mwanga wa jua ulizimika. Kisha pazia la hekalu likagawanyika katikati kuanzia juu.
And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.
46 Akilia kwa sauti kuu, Yesu alisema, “Baba mikononi mwako naiweka roho yangu,” baada ya kusema haya, akafa.
And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.
47 Wakati Akida alipoona yaliyotendeka alimtukuza Mungu akisema, “Hakika huyu alikuwa mtu mwenye haki.”
Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.
48 Wakati umati wa watu waliokuja pamoja kushuhudia walipoona mambo yaliyofanyika, walirudi huku wakipiga vifua vyao.
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.
49 Lakini marafiki zake, na wanawake waliomfuata toka Galilaya, walisimama kwa mbali wakiangalia hayo mambo.
And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.
50 Tazama, palikuwepo na mtu aitwaye Yusufu, ambaye ni mmoja wa baraza, mtu mzuri na mwenye haki,
And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.
51 (alikuwa hajakubaliana na maamuzi au matendo yao), kutoka Armathaya, mji wa Kiyahudi, ambao ulikua ukisubiria ufalme wa Mungu.
Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.
52 Mtu huyu, alimkaribia Pilato, akaomba apewe mwili wa Yesu.
He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,
53 Alimshusha, na akauzungushia sanda, na akaumweka katika kaburi lililokuwa limechongwa katika jiwe, ambalo hakuna aliyewahi kuzikwa.
And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.
54 Ilikuwa ni siku ya maandalizi, na Sabato inakaribia.
And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.
55 Wanawake, waliokuja nao kutoka Galilaya, walimfuata, na wakaona kaburi na jinsi mwili wake ulivyolazwa.
And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.
56 Walirudi na kuanza kuandaa manukato na marashi. Kisha siku ya sabato walipumzika kwa mujibu wa sheria.
And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
