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 but two days distant; and the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might seize him by craft, and kill him.
2 Kwa kuwa walisema, “Sio wakati huu wa sikukuu, watu wasije wakafanya ghasia.”
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be a commotion 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.
And when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came, having an alabaster vase of ointment, of genuine spikenard, of vast value: and breaking the vase, she let it flow down upon his head.
4 Lakini kulikuwa na baadhi yao waliokasirika. Waliambiana wao kwa wao wakisema, “Ni nini sababu ya upotevu huu?
And there were some who felt indignation within themselves, saying, Wherefore is this waste of the ointment made?
5 Manukato haya yangeweza kuuzwa kwa zaidi ya dinari mia tatu, na wakapewa maskini.” Nao walimkemea.
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they bitterly murmured against her.
6 Lakini Yesu alisema, “Mwacheni peke yake. Kwa nini mnamsumbua? Amefanya jambo zuri kwangu.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone; why give ye her uneasiness? she hath performed a laudable act towards me.
7 Siku zote maskini mnao, na wakati wowote mnapotamani mnaweza kufanya mazuri kwao, lakini hamtakuwa nami wakati wote.
For the poor ye have always with you, and when ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 Amefanya kile anachoweza: ameupaka mwili wangu mafuta kwa ajili ya maziko.
What was in her power she hath done; she has seized the opportunity to anoint my body beforehand for burial.
9 Kweli nawaambia, kila mahali injili inapohubiriwa katika ulimwengu wote, kile alichofanya mwanamke huyu kitazungumzwa kwa ukumbusho wake.
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached through the whole world, there shall, what she hath done, be told for a memorial 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 unto the chief priests, that he might betray him unto them.
11 Wakati wakuu wa Makuhani waliposikia hivyo, walifurahi na wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Alianza kutafuta nafasi ya kumkabidhi kwao.
When they heard it, they rejoiced, and promised to give him a sum in silver. And he watched how opportunely he might deliver him up.
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?”
And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare for thee to eat the passover?
13 Aliwatuma wanafuzi wake wawili na kuwaambia, “Nendeni mjini, na mwanamume ambaye amebeba mtungi ataonana nanyi. Mfuateni.
And he sent two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water, 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 where he enters, say to the master of the family. That the teacher saith, Where is the dining-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 shew you a large upper room ready furnished: there make preparation for us.
16 Wanafunzi waliondoka wakaenda mjini; walikuta kila kitu kama alivyokuwa amewaambia, na wakaandaa mlo wa Pasaka.
And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as he had spoken to them; and they made ready the passover.
17 Wakati ilipokuwa jioni, alikuja na wale Kumi na wawili.
And when it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 Na walipokuwa wakiikaribia meza na kula, Yesu alisema, “Kweli nawaambia, mmoja kati yenu anayekula pamoja nami atanisaliti.”
And as they sat at table, and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I tell you, That one of you, who is eating with me, shall betray me.
19 Wote walisikitika, na mmoja baada ya mwingine walimwambia, “Hakika siyo mimi?”
And they began to be very sorry, and to say to him, one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
20 Yesu alijibu na kuwaambia, “Ni mmoja wa Kumi na wawili kati yenu, mmoja ambaye sasa anachovya tonge katika bakuli pamoja nami.
But he answering said to them, It is one of the twelve, who is dipping his hand with me into the dish.
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 indeed goeth, as it is written of him; but wo to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been desirable for that man if he had never been born.
22 Na walipokuwa wakila, Yesu alichukua mkate, akaubariki, na kuumega. Aliwapa akisema, “Chukueni. Huu ni mwili wangu.”
And as they were eating, Jesus taking a loaf, when he had blessed, brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
23 Alichukua kikombe, akashukuru, na akawapatia, na wote wakakinywea.
And taking the cup, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them; and they all drank out of it.
24 Aliwaambia, “Hii ni damu yangu ya agano, damu imwagikayo kwa ajili ya wengi.
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Kweli nawaambia, sitakunywa tena katika zao hili la mzabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapokunywa mpya katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
Verily I say unto you, That I will henceforth no more drink of the produce of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new 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.'
And Jesus saith to them, All ye will be offended at me this night; for it is written, “I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed:”
28 Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia mbele yenu Galilaya.”
but after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 Petro alimwambia, “Hata kama wote watakuacha, mimi sitakuacha.”
Then said Peter unto him, Though all should be offended, yet will not I.
30 Yesu alimwambia, “Kweli nakuambia, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utakuwa umenikana mara tatu.”
And Jesus saith to him, Verily I tell thee, That to-day, in the course of this very night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.
31 Lakini Petro alisema, “Hata itanilazimu kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana.” Wote walitoa ahadi ile ile.
But he said with more vehement assertion, Though I should die with thee, yet would I in no wise deny thee. And they all spake also in the same manner.
32 Walikuja kwenye eneo lililoitwa Gethsemane, na Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa wakati nasali.”
And they come to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here whilst I shall pray.
33 Aliwachukua Petro, Yakobo, na Yohana pamoja naye, akaanza kuhuzunika na kutaabika sana.
And he taketh Peter, and James, and John, with him; and he began to be filled with horrible dread, and to be sunk under dejection of spirit:
34 Aliwaambia, “Nafsi yangu ina huzuni sana, hata kufa. Bakini hapa na mkeshe.”
and he saith to them, My soul is deeply afflicted even to death: abide here, and watch.
35 Yesu alienda mbele kidogo, akaanguka chini, akaomba, kama ingewezekana, kwamba saa hii ingemwepuka.
And he went a little farther forward, and fell on the earth, and prayed, that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.
36 Alisema, “Aba, Baba, Mambo yote kwako yanawezekana. Niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini siyo kwa mapenzi yangu, bali mapenzi yako.”
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
37 Alirudi na kuwakuta wamelala, na akamwambia Petro, “Simoni, je umelala? Hukuweza kukesha hata saa moja?
And he came and found them asleep: and saith unto Peter, Sleepest thou? hast thou not strength to watch with me a single hour?
38 Kesheni na muombe kwamba msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Hakika roho i radhi, lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
Watch ye and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
39 Alienda tena na kuomba, na alitumia maneno yaleyale.
And again he went away, and prayed, speaking the same sentence.
40 Alikuja tena akawakuta wamelala, kwa kuwa macho yao yalikuwa mazito na hawakujua nini cha kumwambia.
And when he returned, he found them again sleeping; for their eyes were weighed down: and they knew not 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.
Then the third time he cometh, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and repose: it is enough, the hour is come; lo! the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners;
42 Amkeni, twendeni. Tazama, yule anayenisaliti yuko karibu.”
arise, let us go; behold, the traitor approaches me.
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.
And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up, and a great multitude with him, with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders.
44 Wakati huo msaliti wake alikuwa amewapa ishara, akisema, Yule nitakayembusu, ndiye. Mkamateni na kumpeleka chini ya ulinzi.”
Now he that betrayed him, had given them a countersign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, seize him, and lead him off safely.
45 Wakati Yuda alipofika, moja kwa moja alienda kwa Yesu na kusema, “Mwalimu!” Na akambusu.
And coming, he immediately drew up to him and said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.
46 Kisha wakumtia chini ya ulinzi na kumkamata.
Then they laid their hands on him, and seized him.
47 Lakini mmoja kati yao aliyesimama karibu naye alichomoa upanga wake akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu na kumkata sikio.
And one particular person of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Yesu aliwaambia, “Mmekuja kunikamata kwa mapanga na marungu kama mnyang'anyi?
And Jesus addressing them said, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to apprehend me?
49 Wakati kila siku nilikuwa nanyi na nikifundisha hekaluni, hamkunikamata. Lakini hili limefanyika ili maandiko yatimie.
Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye laid no hold upon me: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.
50 Na wale wote waliokuwa na Yesu walimwacha na kukimbia.
Then they all deserting him, fled.
51 Kijana mmoja alimfuata, aliyekuwa amevaa shuka tu aliyokuwa amejifunika kumzunguka; walimkamata lakini
And a certain youth followed him, having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and the young men laid hold of him;
52 aliwaponyoka akaiacha shuka pale akakimbia uchi.
and leaving the linen cloth behind, he fled naked from them.
53 Walimwongoza Yesu kwa kuhani mkuu. Pale walikusanyika pamoja naye makuhani wakuu wote, wazee, na waandishi.
And they led Jesus unto the high-priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes.
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.
And Peter followed him at a distance, until he came into the palace of the high-priest: and was seated with the servants, and warming himself at the fire.
55 Wakati huo makuhani wakuu wote na Baraza lote walikuwa wakitafuta ushahidi dhidi ya Yesu ili wapate kumwua. Lakini hawakuupata.
Then the chief priests, and the whole sanhedrim, sought for witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; yet found none.
56 Kwa kuwa watu wengi walileta ushuhuda wa uongo dhidi yake, lakini hata ushahidi wao haukufanana.
For many bore false witness against him, and their attestations did not correspond.
57 Baadhi walisimama na kuleta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi yake; wakisema,
And certain persons rising up, bore false witness against him, saying,
58 “Tulimsikia akisema, 'Nitaliharibu hekalu hili lililotengenezwa kwa mikono, na ndani siku tatu nitajenga lingine lisilotengenezwa kwa mikono.'”
We have heard him affirm, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and after three days I will build another not made with hands.
59 Lakini hata ushahidi wao haukufanana.
But even then their testimony was not correspondent.
60 Kuhani mkuu alisimama katikati yao na akamwuliza Yesu, “Je, huna jibu? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?”
So the high-priest rising up in the midst interrogated Jesus, Answerest thou nothing? What is it that these witness against thee?
61 Lakini alikaa kimya na hakujibu chochote. Mara Kuhani mkuu alimwuliza tena, “Je wewe ni Kristo, mwana wa Mbarikiwa?”
But he kept silence, and made them not a word of reply. Again the high-priest questioned him, and said to him, Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the blessed?
62 Yesu alisema, “Mimi ndiye. Na utamwona Mwana wa Adamu ameketi mkono wa kulia wa nguvu akija na mawingu ya mbinguni.”
Then said Jesus, I am. And ye shall 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?
Then the high-priest rent his clothes, and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?
64 Mmesikia kufuru. Uamuzi wenu ni upi?” Na wote walimhukumu kama mmoja aliyestahili kifo.
Ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? And they all adjudged him to be deserving of death.
65 Baadhi wakaanza kumtemea mate na kumfunika uso na kumpiga na kumwambia, “Tabiri!” Maafisa walimchukua na kumpiga.
And some began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants slapped him on the face with their hands.
66 Na Petro alipokuwa bado yuko chini uani, mtumishi mmoja wa wasichana wa kuhani mkuu alikuja kwake.
And as Peter was in the hall, at the lower end, there came to him one of the high-priest’s maid-servants:
67 Alimwona Petro alipokuwa amesimama akiota moto, na alimtazama kwa kumkaribia. Kisha alisema, “Nawe pia ulikuwa na Mnazareti, Yesu”.
and seeing Peter warming himself, stedfastly looking at him, she said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
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).
Then he denied it, saying, I do not so much as know him, nor understand what thou art saying. And he went out into the vestibule; and the cock crew.
69 Lakini mtumishi wa kike pale, alimwona na alianza kuwaambia tena wale ambao walikuwa wamesimama pale, “Mtu huyu ni mmoja wao!”
And a maid-servant observing him again; began to say to those who stood by, 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.”
Then he denied it again. And after a little while, they who stood by said to Peter, Of a certainty thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is correspondent.
71 Lakini alianza kujiweka mwenyewe chini ya laana na kuapa, “Simjui mtu huyu mnayemsema.”
Then began he to make the most dreadful imprecations, and to swear, I know not the man of whom ye 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 the second time the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake unto him, That before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And casting his mantle over his face, he wept.
