Yohana 19
1 Basi, Pilato akaamuru Yesu achukuliwe, apigwe viboko.
Therefore Pilate then took Jesus and scourged him.
2 Nao askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamtia kichwani, wakamvika na joho la rangi ya zambarau.
And the soldiers having woven a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put around him a purple garment.
3 Wakawa wanakuja mbele yake na kusema: “Shikamoo, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Wakampiga makofi.
And they said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they gave him slaps.
4 Pilato akatoka tena nje, akawaambia, “Tazameni, namleta nje kwenu, mpate kujua kwamba mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake.”
Therefore Pilate again went forth outside, and says to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, so that ye may know that I find not one cause in him.
5 Basi, Yesu akatoka nje amevaa taji ya miiba na joho la rangi ya zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni! Mtu mwenyewe ni huyo.”
Jesus therefore came outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe. And he says to them, Look at the man!
6 Makuhani wakuu na walinzi walipomwona wakapaaza sauti: “Msulubishe! Msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni basi, ninyi wenyewe mkamsulubishe, kwa maana mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake.”
When therefore the chief priests and the subordinates saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Ye take him and crucify, for I find no cause in him.
7 Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi tunayo Sheria, na kufuatana na Sheria hiyo, ni lazima afe, kwa sababu alijifanya kuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.
8 Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akazidi kuogopa.
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was more afraid.
9 Basi, akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwuliza Yesu, “Umetoka wapi wewe?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno.
And he went into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Hivyo Pilato akamwambia, “Husemi nami? Je, hujui kwamba ninayo mamlaka ya kukufungua na mamlaka ya kukusulubisha?”
Pilate therefore says to him, Thou do not speak to me? Know thou not that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?
11 Yesu akamjibu, “Hungekuwa na mamlaka yoyote juu yangu kama hungepewa na Mungu. Kwa sababu hiyo, yule aliyenikabidhi kwako ana dhambi kubwa zaidi.”
Jesus answered him, Thou would have no authority against me, unless it were given thee from above. Because of this he who delivered me to thee has greater sin.
12 Tangu hapo, Pilato akawa anatafuta njia ya kumwachilia, lakini Wayahudi wakapiga kelele: “Ukimwachilia huyu mtu, wewe si rafiki yake Kaisari; kila mtu anayejifanya kuwa Mfalme humpinga Kaisari!”
From this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou are not Caesar's friend. Every man who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.
13 Basi, Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akamleta Yesu nje, akaketi juu ya kiti cha hukumu, mahali paitwapo: “Sakafu ya Mawe” (kwa Kiebrania, Gabatha).
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Ilikuwa yapata saa sita mchana, siku ya maandalio ya Pasaka. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Tazameni, Mfalme wenu!”
Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look at your king!
15 Wao wakapaaza sauti: “Mwondoe! Mwondoe! Msulubishe!” Makuhani wakuu wakajibu, “Sisi hatuna Mfalme isipokuwa Kaisari!”
But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.
16 Basi, hapo Pilato akamtia Yesu mikononi mwao ili asulubiwe. Basi, wakamchukua Yesu.
Therefore he then delivered him to them, so that he might be crucified, and they took and led Jesus away.
17 Naye akatoka akiwa amejichukulia msalaba wake kwenda mahali paitwapo “Fuvu la Kichwa”, (kwa Kiebrania Golgotha).
And he went out bearing his cross to a place called, of a Skull, a place that is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,
18 Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha, na pamoja naye waliwasulubisha watu wengine wawili; mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine upande wake wa kushoto, naye Yesu katikati.
where they crucified him, and two others with him, on this side and that, and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilato aliandika ilani akaiweka juu ya msalaba. Nayo ilikuwa imeandikwa hivi: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Wayahudi wengi waliisoma ilani hiyo, maana mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji. Tena ilani hiyo ilikuwa imeandikwa kwa Kiebrania, Kilatini, na Kigiriki.
Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin.
21 Basi, makuhani wakuu wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike: Mfalme wa Wayahudi, ila Yeye alisema, Mimi ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but, That man said I am king of the Jews.
22 Pilato akajibu, “Niliyoandika, nimeandika!”
Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Askari walipokwisha msulubisha Yesu, walizichukua nguo zake, wakazigawa mafungu manne, fungu moja kwa kila askari. Walichukua pia na kanzu yake; kanzu hiyo ilikuwa imefumwa kwa kipande kimoja tu, bila mshono.
The soldiers therefore when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. But the tunic was a seamless weave, from the top throughout.
24 Basi, hao askari wakashauriana: “Tusiipasue, ila tuipigie kura itakuwa ya nani.” Jambo hilo lilifanyika ili yatimie Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo: “Waligawana mavazi yangu, na nguo yangu wakaipigia kura.” Basi, ndivyo walivyofanya hao askari.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not divide it, but cast a lot for it, whose it will be, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast a lot. Therefore the soldiers indeed did these things.
25 Karibu na msalaba wake Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada ya mama yake, Maria mke wa Kleopa, na Maria Magdalene.
And his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene had stood near the cross of Jesus.
26 Yesu alipomwona mama yake, na karibu naye amesimama yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda, akamwambia mama yake: “Mama! Tazama, huyo ndiye mwanao.”
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
27 Halafu akamwambia yule mwanafunzi: “Tazama, huyo ndiye mama yako.” Na tangu saa ile huyo mwanafunzi alimchukua akae nyumbani kwake.
Then he says to the disciple, Behold, thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own place.
28 Yesu alijua kwamba yote yalikuwa yametimia; na, ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia, akasema, “Naona kiu.”
After this, Jesus, having seen that all things are now completed, so that the scripture might be fully complete, says, I thirst.
29 Hapo palikuwa na bakuli limejaa siki. Basi, wakachovya sifongo katika hiyo siki, wakaitia juu ya ufito wa husopo, wakamwekea mdomoni.
Therefore a vessel full of vinegar was set there. And having filled a sponge with the vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop, they brought it to his mouth.
30 Yesu alipokwisha pokea hiyo siki, akasema, “Yametimia!” Kisha akainama kichwa, akatoa roho.
When therefore Jesus received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and after bowing his head, he gave up the spirit.
31 Ilikuwa Ijumaa, siku ya Maandalio. Kwa hiyo, kusudi miili isikae msalabani siku ya Sabato, maana siku hiyo ya Sabato ilikuwa siku kubwa, Wayahudi walimwomba Pilato miguu ya hao waliosulubiwa ivunjwe na miili yao iondolewe.
The Jews therefore, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was Preparation (for it was the high day of that sabbath), they besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they might be removed.
32 Basi, askari walikwenda, wakaivunja miguu ya yule mtu wa kwanza na yule wa pili ambao walikuwa wamesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu.
The soldiers therefore came, and indeed broke the legs of the first, and of the other man who was crucified with him.
33 Lakini walipomfikia Yesu waliona kwamba alikwisha kufa, na hivyo hawakumvunja miguu.
But having come to Jesus, when they saw him now having died, they did not break his legs.
34 Lakini askari mmoja alimtoboa ubavuni kwa mkuki, na mara ikatoka damu na maji.
But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and straightaway blood and water came out.
35 (Naye aliyeona tukio hilo ametoa habari zake ili nanyi mpate kuamini. Na hayo aliyosema ni ukweli, tena yeye anajua kwamba anasema ukweli.)
And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. And that man knows that he speaks true, so that ye may believe.
36 Jambo hilo lilitendwa ili Maandiko Matakatifu yatimie: “Hapana hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken.
37 Tena Maandiko mengine yanasema: “Watamtazama yule waliyemtoboa.”
And again another scripture says, They will look toward whom they pierced.
38 Baada ya hayo, Yosefu, mwenyeji wa Armathaya, alimwomba Pilato ruhusa ya kuuchukua mwili wa Yesu. (Yosefu alikuwa mfuasi wa Yesu, lakini kwa siri, maana aliwaogopa viongozi wa Wayahudi). Basi, Pilato akamruhusu. Hivyo Yosefu alikwenda, akauondoa mwili wa Yesu.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus, and Pilate allowed him. Therefore he came and removed the body of Jesus.
39 Naye Nikodemo ambaye hapo awali alikuwa amemwendea Yesu usiku, akaja akiwa amechukua mchanganyiko wa manemane na ubani kiasi cha kilo thelathini.
And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by night) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
40 Basi, waliutwaa mwili wa Yesu, wakaufunga sanda pamoja na manukato kufuatana na desturi ya Wayahudi katika kuzika.
So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, just as is the custom of the Jews to bury.
41 Mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa na bustani, na katika bustani hiyo kulikuwa na kaburi jipya ambalo hakutiwa bado mtu yeyote ndani yake.
Now a garden was in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden a new sepulcher in which no man was yet laid.
42 Basi, kwa sababu ya shughuli za Wayahudi za maandalio ya Sabato, na kwa vile kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamweka Yesu humo.
Therefore because of the Jews' Preparation (because the sepulcher was near) they laid Jesus there.
