Marko 15
1 Asubuhi na mapema wakuu wa makuhani walikutana pamoja na wazee na waandishi na baraza zima la wazee. Kisha wakamfunga Yesu wakampeleka kwa Pilato. Pilato akamwuliza, “wewe ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 “Akamjibu, “Wewe umesema hivyo.”
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayest it.
3 Wakuu wa makuhani wakaeleza mashitaka mengi juu ya Yesu.
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 Pilato akamwuliza tena, “Hujibu chochote? Huoni jinsi wanavyokushtaki kwa mambo mengi?
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they testify against thee.
5 Lakini Yesu hakumjibu Pilato, na hiyo ilimshangaza.
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Kwa kawaida wakati wa sikukuu humfungulia mfungwa mmoja, mfungwa waliyemwomba.
Now at that feast he released to them one prisoner, whom they desired.
7 Kulikuwapo wahalifu gerezani, miongoni mwa wauaji kati ya walioasi wanaotumikia makosa yao. Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aitwaye Baraba.
And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 Umati ulikuja kwa Pilato, na kumwomba afanye kama alivyofanya huko nyuma.
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done to them.
9 Pilato akawajibu na kusema, “Mnataka niwafungulie Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
10 Kwa kuwa alijua ni kwa sababu ya wivu wakuu wa makuhani walimkamata Yesu na kumleta kwake.
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 Lakini wakuu wa makuhani walichochea umati kupiga kelele kwa sauti kwamba afunguliwe Baraba badala yake.
But the chief priests stirred up the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12 Pilato akawajibu tena na kusema, “Nimfanye nini Mfalme wa Wayahudi?
And Pilate answered and said again to them, What will ye then that I shall do to him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 Wakapiga kelele tena, “Msulibishe!”
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Pilato akasema, “Amefanya jambo gani baya?” Lakini wakazidi kupiga kelele zaidi na zaidi “Msulibishe.”
Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 Pilato akitaka kuwaridhisha umati, akawafungulia Baraba. Akampiga Yesu mijeledi kisha akamtoa ili asulibiwe.
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
16 Askari walimwongoza hadi ndani ya ua (ule ulio ndani ya kambi) na walikusanyika pamoja kikosi cha askari.
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
17 Wakamvika Yesu kanzu ya rangi ya zambarau, na wakasokota taji ya miiba wakamvika.
And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
18 Wakaanza kumdhihaki na kusema, “Salam, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!”
And began to greet him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19 Wakampiga kichwani kwa mwanzi na kumtemea mate. Wakapiga magoti mbele yake kwa kumheshimu.
And they struck him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20 Hata wakiisha kumdhihaki, wakamvua ile kanzu ya rangi ya zambarau na kumvika mavazi yake, na wakamtoa nje kwenda kumsulibisha.
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
21 Wakamlazimisha mpita njia kumsaidia, aliyekuwa anaingia mjini kutoka shamba. Aitwaye Simoni Mkirene (baba yake Iskanda na Rufo); wakamlazimisha kubeba msalaba wa Yesu.
And they compelled one Simon a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
22 Askari wakampeleka Yesu mahali paitwapo Goligotha (maana ya tafsiri hii ni, Sehemu ya Fuvu la kichwa).
And they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
23 Wakampa mvinyo iliyochanganywa na manemane, lakini hakunywa.
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24 Wakamsulibisha na wakagawana mavazi yake, wakayapigia kura kuamua kipande atakachopata kila askari.
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 Yapata saa tatu asubuhi walipomsulibisha.
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 Wakaweka juu yake ubao ulioandikwa shitaka, “Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 Walimsubisha pamoja na majambazi wawili, mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine kushoto kwake.
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28 (Zingatia: Mstari huu, “Na maandiko yakatimia yaliyonena” haumo katika nakala za kale).
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
29 Nao waliokuwa wakipita walimtukana, wakitikisa vichwa vyao wakisema, “Aha! wewe utakayevunja hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu,
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30 jiokoe mwenyewe na ushuke chini toka msalabani!”
Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Kwa namna ile ile wakuu wa makuhani walimdhihaki wakisemezana, pamoja na waandishi na kusema, “Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe.
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32 Kristo Mfalme wa Israel, shuka chini sasa toka msalabani, ili tuweze kuona na kuamini.” Na wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye pia walimdhihaki.
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 Ilipofika saa sita, giza likaja juu ya nchi yote hadi saa tisa.
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 Wakati wa saa tisa, Yesu alipiga kelele kwa sauti kubwa, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” ikiwa na maana “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, kwa nini umeniacha?”
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 Baadhi ya hao waliosimama waliposikia wakasema, “Tazama, anamwita Eliya.”
And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah.
36 Mtu mmoja akakimbia, akajaza siki katika sponji na kuiweka juu ya mti wa mwanzi, akampa ili anywe. Mtu mmoja akasema, “Ngoja tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumshusha chini.”
And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let him alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.
37 Kisha Yesu akalia kwa sauti kubwa na akafa.
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 Pazia la hekalu likagawanyika vipande viwili toka juu mpaka chini.
And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
39 Ofisa mmoja aliyekuwa amesimama akimwelekea Yesu, alipoona amekufa kwa jinsi ile, akasema, “Kweli huyu mtu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
And when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 Walikuwepo pia wanawake waliokuwa wakitazama kwa mbali. Miongoni mwao alikuwepo Mariamu Magdalena, Mariamu (mama yake Yakobo mdogo wa Yose), na Salome.
There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 Wakati alipokuwa Galilaya walimfuata na kumtumikia. Na wanawake wengine wengi pia waliambatana naye hadi Yerusalemu.
( Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; ) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 Kulipokuwa jioni, na kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya maandalio, siku kabla ya Sabato,
And now when the evening was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43 Yusufu wa Arimathaya alikuja pale. Alikuwa ni mjumbe wa Baraza anayeheshimiwa mtu anayeutarajia Ufalme wa Mungu. Kwa ujasiri akaenda kwa Pilato, na kuuomba mwili wa Yesu.
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
44 Pilato akashangazwa kwamba Yesu tayari amekufa; akamwita yule afisa akamwuliza kama Yesu amekufa.
And Pilate wondered if he was already dead: and calling the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 Alipopata uhakika kwa afisa kwamba amekufa, alimruhusu Yusufu kuuchukua mwili.
And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 Yusufu alikuwa amenunua sanda. Akamshusha toka msalabani, akamfunga kwa sanda, na kumweka ndani ya kaburi lililochimbwa katika mwamba. Kisha akalivingirisha jiwe mlangoni mwa kaburi.
And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47 Mariamu Magdalena na Mariamu mama yake Yose waliona sehemu alipozikwa Yesu.
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
