Yohana 19
1 Basi, Pilato akaamuru Yesu achukuliwe, apigwe viboko.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2 Nao askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamtia kichwani, wakamvika na joho la rangi ya zambarau.
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
3 Wakawa wanakuja mbele yake na kusema: “Shikamoo, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!” Wakampiga makofi.
And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
4 Pilato akatoka tena nje, akawaambia, “Tazameni, namleta nje kwenu, mpate kujua kwamba mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake.”
Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
5 Basi, Yesu akatoka nje amevaa taji ya miiba na joho la rangi ya zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni! Mtu mwenyewe ni huyo.”
When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is 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.”
As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
7 Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi tunayo Sheria, na kufuatana na Sheria hiyo, ni lazima afe, kwa sababu alijifanya kuwa Mwana wa Mungu.”
“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
8 Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akazidi kuogopa.
When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
9 Basi, akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwuliza Yesu, “Umetoka wapi wewe?” Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno.
and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
10 Hivyo Pilato akamwambia, “Husemi nami? Je, hujui kwamba ninayo mamlaka ya kukufungua na mamlaka ya kukusulubisha?”
So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
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, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of 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 then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying 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 heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.
14 Ilikuwa yapata saa sita mchana, siku ya maandalio ya Pasaka. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Tazameni, Mfalme wenu!”
It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
15 Wao wakapaaza sauti: “Mwondoe! Mwondoe! Msulubishe!” Makuhani wakuu wakajibu, “Sisi hatuna Mfalme isipokuwa Kaisari!”
At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
16 Basi, hapo Pilato akamtia Yesu mikononi mwao ili asulubiwe. Basi, wakamchukua Yesu.
Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
17 Naye akatoka akiwa amejichukulia msalaba wake kwenda mahali paitwapo “Fuvu la Kichwa”, (kwa Kiebrania Golgotha).
Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called 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.
There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilato aliandika ilani akaiweka juu ya msalaba. Nayo ilikuwa imeandikwa hivi: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, 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.
Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Basi, makuhani wakuu wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike: Mfalme wa Wayahudi, ila Yeye alisema, Mimi ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the 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.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
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.
So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
25 Karibu na msalaba wake Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada ya mama yake, Maria mke wa Kleopa, na Maria Magdalene.
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26 Yesu alipomwona mama yake, na karibu naye amesimama yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda, akamwambia mama yake: “Mama! Tazama, huyo ndiye mwanao.”
When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
27 Halafu akamwambia yule mwanafunzi: “Tazama, huyo ndiye mama yako.” Na tangu saa ile huyo mwanafunzi alimchukua akae nyumbani kwake.
Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
28 Yesu alijua kwamba yote yalikuwa yametimia; na, ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia, akasema, “Naona kiu.”
After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29 Hapo palikuwa na bakuli limejaa siki. Basi, wakachovya sifongo katika hiyo siki, wakaitia juu ya ufito wa husopo, wakamwekea mdomoni.
A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30 Yesu alipokwisha pokea hiyo siki, akasema, “Yametimia!” Kisha akainama kichwa, akatoa roho.
When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His 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.
It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 Basi, askari walikwenda, wakaivunja miguu ya yule mtu wa kwanza na yule wa pili ambao walikuwa wamesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
33 Lakini walipomfikia Yesu waliona kwamba alikwisha kufa, na hivyo hawakumvunja miguu.
But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 Lakini askari mmoja alimtoboa ubavuni kwa mkuki, na mara ikatoka damu na maji.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 (Naye aliyeona tukio hilo ametoa habari zake ili nanyi mpate kuamini. Na hayo aliyosema ni ukweli, tena yeye anajua kwamba anasema ukweli.)
The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36 Jambo hilo lilitendwa ili Maandiko Matakatifu yatimie: “Hapana hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
37 Tena Maandiko mengine yanasema: “Watamtazama yule waliyemtoboa.”
And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have 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.
Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
39 Naye Nikodemo ambaye hapo awali alikuwa amemwendea Yesu usiku, akaja akiwa amechukua mchanganyiko wa manemane na ubani kiasi cha kilo thelathini.
Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five 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, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41 Mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa na bustani, na katika bustani hiyo kulikuwa na kaburi jipya ambalo hakutiwa bado mtu yeyote ndani yake.
Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
42 Basi, kwa sababu ya shughuli za Wayahudi za maandalio ya Sabato, na kwa vile kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamweka Yesu humo.
And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
