Marko 14
1 Ilikuwa siku mbili tu baada ya sikukuu ya Pasaka na ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu. Makuhani wakuu na waandishi walikuwa wakitafuta namna ya kumkamata Yesu kwa hila na kumuua.
Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.
2 Kwa kuwa walisema, “Sio wakati huu wa sikukuu, watu wasije wakafanya ghasia.”
“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
3 Wakati Yesu alipokuwa Bethania nyumbani kwa Simoni mkoma, na alipokuwa akielekea mezani, mwanamke mmoja alikuja kwake akiwa na chupa ya marashi ya nardo safi yenye gharama kubwa sana, aliivunja chupa na kuimimina juu ya kichwa chake.
While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.
4 Lakini kulikuwa na baadhi yao waliokasirika. Waliambiana wao kwa wao wakisema, “Ni nini sababu ya upotevu huu?
Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?
5 Manukato haya yangeweza kuuzwa kwa zaidi ya dinari mia tatu, na wakapewa maskini.” Nao walimkemea.
It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.
6 Lakini Yesu alisema, “Mwacheni peke yake. Kwa nini mnamsumbua? Amefanya jambo zuri kwangu.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
7 Siku zote maskini mnao, na wakati wowote mnapotamani mnaweza kufanya mazuri kwao, lakini hamtakuwa nami wakati wote.
The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.
8 Amefanya kile anachoweza: ameupaka mwili wangu mafuta kwa ajili ya maziko.
She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.
9 Kweli nawaambia, kila mahali injili inapohubiriwa katika ulimwengu wote, kile alichofanya mwanamke huyu kitazungumzwa kwa ukumbusho wake.
And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
10 Kisha Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, alikwenda kwa wakuu wa makuhani ili kwamba apate kumkabidhi kwao.
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.
11 Wakati wakuu wa Makuhani waliposikia hivyo, walifurahi na wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Alianza kutafuta nafasi ya kumkabidhi kwao.
They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
12 Katika siku ya kwanza ya mkate usiotiwa chachu, wakati walipotoa mwanakondoo wa pasaka, wanafunzi wake walimwambia, “Unataka twende wapi tukaandae ili upate kula mlo wa Pasaka?”
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
13 Aliwatuma wanafuzi wake wawili na kuwaambia, “Nendeni mjini, na mwanamume ambaye amebeba mtungi ataonana nanyi. Mfuateni.
So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,
14 Nyumba atakayoingia, mfuateni na mmwambie mwenye nyumba hiyo, 'Mwalimu asema, “Kiko wapi chumba cha wageni mahali nitakapokula Pasaka na wanafunzi wangu?”
and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
15 Atawaonesha chumba cha juu kikubwa chenye samani ambacho kiko tayari. Fanyeni maandalizi kwa ajili yetu pale.”
And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16 Wanafunzi waliondoka wakaenda mjini; walikuta kila kitu kama alivyokuwa amewaambia, na wakaandaa mlo wa Pasaka.
So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.
17 Wakati ilipokuwa jioni, alikuja na wale Kumi na wawili.
When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.
18 Na walipokuwa wakiikaribia meza na kula, Yesu alisema, “Kweli nawaambia, mmoja kati yenu anayekula pamoja nami atanisaliti.”
And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”
19 Wote walisikitika, na mmoja baada ya mwingine walimwambia, “Hakika siyo mimi?”
They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”
20 Yesu alijibu na kuwaambia, “Ni mmoja wa Kumi na wawili kati yenu, mmoja ambaye sasa anachovya tonge katika bakuli pamoja nami.
He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.
21 Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu atakwenda kama vile maandiko yasemavyo juu yake. Lakini ole wake mtu yule ambaye kupitia yeye Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa! Ingekuwa vizuri zaidi kwake kama mtu yule asingezaliwa.”
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
22 Na walipokuwa wakila, Yesu alichukua mkate, akaubariki, na kuumega. Aliwapa akisema, “Chukueni. Huu ni mwili wangu.”
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”
23 Alichukua kikombe, akashukuru, na akawapatia, na wote wakakinywea.
Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 Aliwaambia, “Hii ni damu yangu ya agano, damu imwagikayo kwa ajili ya wengi.
He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
25 Kweli nawaambia, sitakunywa tena katika zao hili la mzabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapokunywa mpya katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”
26 Walipokwisha kuimba wimbo, walikwenda nje katika Mlima wa Mizeituni.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Yesu aliwaaambia, “Ninyi nyote mtajitenga mbali kwa sababu yangu, kwa kuwa imeandikwa, 'Nitampiga mchungaji na kondoo watatawanyika.'
Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia mbele yenu Galilaya.”
But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
29 Petro alimwambia, “Hata kama wote watakuacha, mimi sitakuacha.”
Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”
30 Yesu alimwambia, “Kweli nakuambia, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utakuwa umenikana mara tatu.”
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31 Lakini Petro alisema, “Hata itanilazimu kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana.” Wote walitoa ahadi ile ile.
But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.
32 Walikuja kwenye eneo lililoitwa Gethsemane, na Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa wakati nasali.”
Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 Aliwachukua Petro, Yakobo, na Yohana pamoja naye, akaanza kuhuzunika na kutaabika sana.
He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.
34 Aliwaambia, “Nafsi yangu ina huzuni sana, hata kufa. Bakini hapa na mkeshe.”
Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”
35 Yesu alienda mbele kidogo, akaanguka chini, akaomba, kama ingewezekana, kwamba saa hii ingemwepuka.
Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.
36 Alisema, “Aba, Baba, Mambo yote kwako yanawezekana. Niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini siyo kwa mapenzi yangu, bali mapenzi yako.”
“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37 Alirudi na kuwakuta wamelala, na akamwambia Petro, “Simoni, je umelala? Hukuweza kukesha hata saa moja?
Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?
38 Kesheni na muombe kwamba msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Hakika roho i radhi, lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
39 Alienda tena na kuomba, na alitumia maneno yaleyale.
Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
40 Alikuja tena akawakuta wamelala, kwa kuwa macho yao yalikuwa mazito na hawakujua nini cha kumwambia.
And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41 Alikuja mara ya tatu na kuwaambia, “Bado mmelala na kupumzika? Yatosha! Saa imefika. Tazama! Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa mikononi mwa wenye dhambi.
When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Amkeni, twendeni. Tazama, yule anayenisaliti yuko karibu.”
Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”
43 Mara tu alipokuwa bado anaongea, Yuda, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, alifika, na kundi kubwa kutoka kwa wakuu wa makuhani, waandishi na wazee wenye mapanga na marungu.
While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.
44 Wakati huo msaliti wake alikuwa amewapa ishara, akisema, Yule nitakayembusu, ndiye. Mkamateni na kumpeleka chini ya ulinzi.”
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”
45 Wakati Yuda alipofika, moja kwa moja alienda kwa Yesu na kusema, “Mwalimu!” Na akambusu.
Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46 Kisha wakumtia chini ya ulinzi na kumkamata.
Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.
47 Lakini mmoja kati yao aliyesimama karibu naye alichomoa upanga wake akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu na kumkata sikio.
And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48 Yesu aliwaambia, “Mmekuja kunikamata kwa mapanga na marungu kama mnyang'anyi?
Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?
49 Wakati kila siku nilikuwa nanyi na nikifundisha hekaluni, hamkunikamata. Lakini hili limefanyika ili maandiko yatimie.
Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”
50 Na wale wote waliokuwa na Yesu walimwacha na kukimbia.
Then everyone deserted Him and fled.
51 Kijana mmoja alimfuata, aliyekuwa amevaa shuka tu aliyokuwa amejifunika kumzunguka; walimkamata lakini
One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,
52 aliwaponyoka akaiacha shuka pale akakimbia uchi.
but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.
53 Walimwongoza Yesu kwa kuhani mkuu. Pale walikusanyika pamoja naye makuhani wakuu wote, wazee, na waandishi.
They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.
54 Petro naye alimfuata Yesu kwa mbali, kuelekea kwenye ua wa kuhani mkuu. Aliketi pamoja na walinzi, waliokuwa karibu na moto wakiota ili kupata joto.
Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.
55 Wakati huo makuhani wakuu wote na Baraza lote walikuwa wakitafuta ushahidi dhidi ya Yesu ili wapate kumwua. Lakini hawakuupata.
Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.
56 Kwa kuwa watu wengi walileta ushuhuda wa uongo dhidi yake, lakini hata ushahidi wao haukufanana.
For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.
57 Baadhi walisimama na kuleta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake; wakisema,
Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:
58 “Tulimsikia akisema, 'Nitaliharibu hekalu hili lililotengenezwa kwa mikono, na ndani siku tatu nitajenga lingine lisilotengenezwa kwa mikono.'”
“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”
59 Lakini hata ushahidi wao haukufanana.
But even their testimony was inconsistent.
60 Kuhani mkuu alisimama katikati yao na akamwuliza Yesu, “Je, huna jibu? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?”
So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
61 Lakini alikaa kimya na hakujibu chochote. Mara Kuhani mkuu alimwuliza tena, “Je wewe ni Kristo, mwana wa Mbarikiwa?”
But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 Yesu alisema, “Mimi ndiye. Na utamwona Mwana wa Adamu ameketi mkono wa kulia wa nguvu akija na mawingu ya mbinguni.”
“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63 Kuhani mkuu alirarua mavazi yake na kusema, “Je, bado tunahitaji mashahidi?
At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?
64 Mmesikia kufuru. Uamuzi wenu ni upi?” Na wote walimhukumu kama mmoja aliyestahili kifo.
You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.
65 Baadhi wakaanza kumtemea mate na kumfunika uso na kumpiga na kumwambia, “Tabiri!” Maafisa walimchukua na kumpiga.
Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.
66 Na Petro alipokuwa bado yuko chini uani, mtumishi mmoja wa wasichana wa kuhani mkuu alikuja kwake.
While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down
67 Alimwona Petro alipokuwa amesimama akiota moto, na alimtazama kwa kumkaribia. Kisha alisema, “Nawe pia ulikuwa na Mnazareti, Yesu”.
and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”
68 Lakini alikataa, akisema, “Sijui wala sielewi kuhusu kile unachosema!” Kisha alitoka akaenda nje uani. (Zingatia; Mstari huu, “Na jogoo akawika” haumo kwenye nakala za kale).
But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.
69 Lakini mtumishi wa kike pale, alimwona na alianza kuwaambia tena wale ambao walikuwa wamesimama pale, “Mtu huyu ni mmoja wao!”
There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”
70 Lakini alikana tena. Baadaye kidogo wale waliokuwa wamesimama pale walikuwa wakimwambia Petro, “Hakika wewe ni mmoja wao, kwa maana wewe pia ni Mgalilaya.”
But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”
71 Lakini alianza kujiweka mwenyewe chini ya laana na kuapa, “Simjui mtu huyu mnayemsema.”
But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”
72 Kisha jogoo aliwika mara ya pili. Kisha Petro alikumbuka maneno ambayo Yesu aliyokuwa amemwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utanikana mara tatu.” Na alianguka chini na kulia.
And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
