Mathayo 27
1 Muda wa asubuhi ulipofika, wakuu wote wa makuhani na wazee wa watu walikula njama dhidi ya Yesu wapate kumuua.
BUT when it was morning, the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jeshu, how they should put him to death.
2 Walimfunga, walimwongoza, na kumfikisha kwa Liwali Pilato.
And they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilatos the governor.
3 Kisha wakati Yuda, ambaye alikuwa amemsaliti, aliona kwamba Yesu amekwisha kuhukumiwa, alijuta na kurudisha vipande thelathini vya fedha kwa mkuu wa makuhani na wazee,
Then Jihuda the traitor, when he saw that Jeshu was condemned, repented him, and went hastily, and returned those thirty of silver unto the chief priests and elders,
4 na akasema, “Nimefanya dhambi kwa kuisaliti damu isiyo na hatia.” Lakini wakajibu, “Inatuhusu nini sisi? Yaangalie hayo mwenyewe.”
and said, I have sinned, for I have betrayed the innocent blood. But they said to him, To us? what to us? Thou knowest, -thou!
5 Kisha alivirusha chini vile vipande vya fedha katika hekalu, na kuondoka zake na kujinyonga mwenyewe.
And he cast down the silver in the temple, and passed away, and went and strangled himself.
6 Mkuu wa makuhani alivichukua vile vipande vya fedha na kusema, “Si halali kuiweka fedha hii katika hazina, kwa sababu ni gharama ya damu.”
But the chief priests took up the silver, and said, It is not lawful that we throw it into the place of offering, because it is the price of blood.
7 Walijadiliana kwa pamoja na fedha ikatumika kununulia shamba la mfinyazi la kuzika wageni.
And they took counsel, and bought with it the field of the potter, for the burial-place of strangers.
8 Kwa sababu hii shamba hilo limekuwa likiitwa, “Shamba la damu” hadi leo hii.
Wherefore that field has been called, The field of blood, until this day.
9 Kisha lile neno lililokuwa limenenwa na nabii Yeremia lilitimia, kusema, “Walitwaa vipande thelathini vya fedha, gharama iliyopangwa na watu wa Israel kwa ajili yake,
Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet, who said, And I took the thirty (pieces) of silver, the price of him who was precious, whom the sons of Isroel bargained for;
10 na waliitumia kwa shamba la mfinyanzi, kama Bwana alivyokuwa amenielekeza.”
and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord commanded me.
11 Sasa Yesu alisimama mbele ya liwali, na liwali akamwuliza, “Je! Wewe ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?” Yesu alimjibu, “Wewe wasema hivyo.”
But Jeshu himself stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jihudoyee? Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said.
12 Lakini wakati aliposhitakiwa na wakuu wa makuhani na wazee, hakujibu chochote.
And while the chief priests and elders were accusing him, he returned not a word.
13 Kisha Pilato alimwambia, “Hujayasikia mashitaka yote dhidi yako?”
Then said Pilatos unto him, Hearest thou not what they witness against thee?
14 Lakini hakumjibu hata neno moja, hivyo liwali alijawa na mshangao.
But he gave him no answer, no, not in one word; and upon this (Pilate) marvelled greatly.
15 Sasa katika sikukuu ilikuwa desturi ya liwali kumfungua mfungwa mmoja anayechaguliwa na umati.
Now at every festival the governor was accustomed to release one of the bound unto the people, whomsoever they would.
16 Wakati huo walikuwa na mfungwa sugu jina lake Baraba.
But there was (then) bound a notorious prisoner who was called Bar-aba.
17 Hivyo wakati walipokuwa wamekusanyika pamoja, Pilato aliwauliza, “Ni nani mnataka tumfungue kwa ajili yenu?” Baraba au Yesu anayeitwa Kristo?”
And when they were assembled, Pilatos said to them, Whom will you that I release unto you, Bar-aba, or Jeshu who is called the Meshicha?
18 Kwa sababu alijua kwamba wamekwisha kumkamata kwa sababu ya chuki.
For Pilatos knew that from malice they had delivered him.
19 Wakati alipokuwa akiketi kwenye kiti chake cha hukumu, mke wake alimtumia neno na kusema, “Usitende jambo lolote kwa mtu huyo asiye na hatia. Kwani nimeteswa mno hata leo katika ndoto kwa sababu yake.”
But while the governor sat upon his tribunal, his wife sent to him saying, Let there be nothing between thee and that Just One; for much have I suffered in a dream to-day on his account.
20 Ndipo wakuu wa makuhani na wazee waliwashawishi makutano wamwombe Baraba, na Yesu auawe.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that he should release to them Bar-aba, that they might destroy Jeshu.
21 Liwali aliwauliza, “Ni yupi kati ya wawili mnataka mimi nimwachie kwenu?” Walisema, “Baraba.”
And the governor answered and said to them, Whom will you that I shall release to you of these two? Then they said, Bar-aba.
22 Pilato akawaambia, “Nimtendee nini Yesu anayeitwa Kristo?” Wote wakajibu, “Msulibishe”
Pilatos saith to them, And to Jeshu who is called the Meshicha, what shall I do with him? They all said, Let him be crucified.
23 Naye akasema, “Kwa nini, ni kosa gani ametenda?” Lakini walizidi kupaza sauti hata juu mno, “Msulibishe.”
Pilatos saith to them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they clamoured the more, and said, Let him be crucified!
24 Hivyo wakati Pilato alipoona hawezi kufanya lolote, lakini badala yake vurugu zilikuwa zimeanza, alitwaa maji akanawa mikono yake mbele ya umati, na kusema, “Mimi sina hatia juu ya damu ya mtu huyu asiye na hatia. Yaangalieni haya wenyewe.”
Then Pilatos, when he saw that nothing availed, but that the tumult became greater, took waters (and) washed his hands before the assembly, and said, I am expiated from the blood of this Just One. You shall know.
25 Watu wote wakasema, “Damu yake iwe juu yetu na watoto wetu.”
And all the people answered and said, His blood upon us, and upon our children!
26 Kisha akamfungulia Baraba kwao, lakini alimpiga mijeredi Yesu na kumkabidhi kwao kwenda kusulibiwa.
THEN he released to them Bar-aba; and scourged Jeshu with thongs, and delivered him to be crucified.
27 Kisha askari wa liwali wakamchukua Yesu mpaka Praitorio na kundi kubwa la maaskari wote wakamkusanyika.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jeshu to the Praetorium, and the whole cohort gathered against him.
28 Wakamvua nguo zake na kumvika kanzu ya rangi nyekundu.
And they stripped him, and invested him with a cloak of crimson.
29 Kisha wakatengeneza taji ya miiba na kuiweka juu ya kichwa chake, na walimwekea mwanzi katika mkono wake wa kuume. Walipiga magoti mbele yake na kumkejeri, wakisema, “Salamu, Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
And they interwove a crown of thorns, and set it upon his head, and a cane in his right hand: and they kneeled upon their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jihudoyee!
30 Na walimtemea mate, na walitwaa mwanzi na kumpiga kichwani.
And they did spit in his face, and took the cane, and struck him upon his head.
31 Wakati walipokuwa wakimkejeri, walimvua ile kanzu na kumvika nguo zake, na kumwongoza kwenda kumsulibisha.
And when they had derided him, they stripped him of the cloak, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him away to be crucified.
32 Walipotoka nje, walimwona mtu kutoka Krene jina lake Simeoni, ambaye walimlazimisha kwenda nao ili apate kuubeba msalaba wake.
And when they had gone forth, they found a Kurinean man whose name was Shemun: this (man) they compel to carry his cross.
33 Walipofika mahali paitwapo Galigotha, maana yake, “Eneo la fuvu la Kichwa.”
And they came to a place which is called Gogultho, which is expounded, The skull.
34 Walimpa siki iliyochanganywa na nyongo anywe. Lakini alipoionja, hakuweza kuinywa.
And they gave him to drink vinegar mingled with gall: and he tasted, but was not willing to drink.
35 Wakati walipokuwa wamemsulibisha, waligawana mavazi yake kwa kupiga kura.
And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments by lot: that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 Na waliketi na kumwangalia.
And they sat down and watched him there.
37 Juu ya kichwa chake waliweka mashitaka dhidi yake yakisomeka, “Huyu ni Yesu, mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
And they placed over his head the occasion of his death, in the writing, This (is) Jeshu, the King of the Jihudoyee.
38 Wanyang'anyi wawili walisulibiwa pamoja naye, mmoja upande wa kulia wake na mwingine wa kushoto.
AND they crucified with him two thieves, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
39 Wale waliokuwa wakipita walimdhihaki, wakitikisa vichwa vyao
But they who passed by railed against him, moving their heads,
40 na kusema, “Wewe uliyekuwa unataka kuliharibu hekalu na kulijenga katika siku tatu, jiokoe mwenyewe! Kama ni Mwana wa Mungu, shuka chini utoke msalabani!”
and saying, Destroyer of the temple, and builder of it in three days! deliver thyself, if thou art the Son of Aloha, and come down from the cross.
41 Katika hali ile ile wakuu wa makuhani walikuwa wakimkashifu, pamoja na waandishi na wazee, na kusema,
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders and Pharishee, saying,
42 “Aliokoa wengine, lakini hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe. Yeye ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi. Na ashuke chini toka msalabani, ndipo tutakapomwamini.
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Isroel, let him now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe in him.
43 Alimtumaini Mungu. Acha Mungu amwokoe sasa kama anataka, kwa sababu alisema, 'Mimi ni Mwana wa Mungu.'”
He trusted upon Aloha; let him liberate him now, if he delighteth in him; for he said, I am the Son of Aloha.
44 Na wale wanyang'anyi waliokuwa wamesulibiwa pamoja naye pia walisema maneno ya kumdhihaki.
Likewise also the robbers who were crucified with him reviled him.
45 Sasa kutoka saa sita kulikuwa na giza katika nchi yote hadi saa tisa.
BUT from the sixth hour there was darkness upon all the land until the ninth hour.
46 Ilipofika saa tisa, Yesu akalia kwa sauti kuu, “Eloi, Eloi, lama thabakithan?” akimaanisha, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, kwa nini umeniacha?”
And about the ninth hour Jeshu cried with a high voice, Aloha! Aloha! why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Wakati huo baadhi yao waliokuwa wamesimama pale walisikia, wakasema, “Anamwita Eliya.”
But certain of them who stood there, when they heard, said, This hath cried unto Ilio.
48 Mara moja mmoja wao alikimbia kuchukua sifongo na kuijaza kinywaji kichungu, akaiweka juu ya mti na kumpa apate kunywa.
And forthwith ran one from them, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and set it upon a cane, and gave him to drink.
49 Nao waliosalia wakasema, “Mwacheni peke yake, acheni tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumwokoa.”
But the rest said, Let alone, we will see whether Ilio (will) come to deliver him.
50 Kisha Yesu akalia tena kwa sauti kuu na akaitoa roho yake.
But he, Jeshu, again cried with a high voice, and dismissed his spirit.
51 Tazama, Pazia la hekalu lilipasuka sehemu mbili kutokea juu hadi chini. Na ardhi ikatetemeka na miamba ikapasuka vipande.
And at once the veil of the temple was rent in twain from above to beneath; and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were riven.
52 Makaburi yalifunguka, na miili ya watakatifu wengi waliokuwa wamelala usingizi walifufuliwa.
And the house of the buried was opened; and the bodies of many of the saints who had been asleep arose,
53 Walitoka kwenye makaburi baada ya ufufuo wake, waliingia mji mtakatifu, na wakaonekana na wengi.
and came forth, and after his resurrection went into the holy city, and were seen by many.
54 Basi yule akida na wale ambao walikuwa wakimtazama Yesu waliona tetemeko na mambo yaliyokuwa yakitokea, walijawa na woga sana na kusema, “Kweli huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
But the centurion and those with him, who guarded Jeshu, when they saw the commotion and those (portents) which took place, feared greatly, and said, Assuredly this was the Son of Aloha.
55 Wanawake wengi waliokuwa wakimfuata Yesu kutoka Galilaya ili kumhudumia walikuwa pale wakitazama kutoka kwa mbali.
(And) many women were there, beholding from afar; those who had come after Jeshu from Galila, and had ministered unto him.
56 Miongini mwao walikuwa Mariamu Magdarena, Mariamu mama yake Yakobo na Joseph, na mama wa watoto wa Zebedayo
One of them was Mariam Magdolitha, and Mariam the mother of Jakub and of Josi, and the mother of the sons of Zabdai.
57 Ilipofika jioni, alikuja mtu tajiri kutoka Arimathayo, aliyeitwa Yusufu, ambaye pia alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu.
BUT when it was evening, there came a rich man from Rometha, whose name was Jauseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jeshu.
58 Alimwendea Pilato na kuuomba mwili wa Yesu. Kisha Pilato aliagiza apate kupewa.
This went unto Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu. And Pilatos commanded that the body should be given to him.
59 Yusufu aliuchukua mwili akaufunga na nguo ya sufi safi,
And Jauseph took the body, and wound it round in a cloth of pure linen,
60 na akaulaza katika kaburi jipya lake alilokuwa amelichonga mwambani. Kisha akavingirisha jiwe kubwa likafunika mlango wa kaburi na akaenda zake.
and laid it in a new house of burial of his own, which was hewn out in the rock. And they rolled a great stone, and heaved it against the door of the sepulchre, and went.
61 Mariamu Magdalena na Mariamu mwingine walikuwa pale, wamekaa kuelekea kaburi.
Now there were there Mariam Magdolitha and the other Mariam, who were sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Siku iliyofuata ambayo ilikuwa siku baada ya maandalio, wakuu wa makuhani na Mafarisayo walikusanyika pamoja kwa Pilato.
BUT the day which was next after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharishee came together unto Pilatos,
63 Wakamwambia, “Bwana, tunakumbuka kuwa wakati yule mdanganyifu alipokuwa hai, alisema, 'Baada ya siku tatu atafufuka tena.'
saying to him, Our lord, we remember that that impostor said while alive, That after three days I will arise.
64 Kwahiyo, agiza kwamba kaburi lilindwe salama mpaka siku ya tatu. Vinginevyo, wanafunzi wake wanaweza kuja kumwiba na kusema kwa watu, 'Amefufuka kutoka wafu.' Na udanganyifu wa mwisho utakuwa mbaya kuliko ule wa kwanza.”
Command therefore that they watch the sepulchre till (after) the third of the days; lest his disciples come, and steal him away by night, and tell the people that from the house of the dead he has risen, and the last delusion be worse than the first.
65 Pilato akawaambia, “Chukueni walinzi. Nendeni mkafanye hali ya usalama kama muwezavyo.”
Pilatos saith to them, Ye have guards; go, watch diligently, as ye know how.
66 Hivyo walikwenda na kufanya kaburi kuwa salama, jiwe liligongwa mhuri na kuweka walinzi.
So they went, and set a watch (about) the sepulchre, and sealed the stone along with the guards.
