Luka 22
1 Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa chachu, iitwayo Pasaka, ilikuwa inakaribia.
Now the festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was drawing near.
2 Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria wakawa wanatafuta njia ya kumwua Yesu, lakini waliwaogopa watu.
The high priest and the Scribes continually sought means to put him to death.
3 Basi, Shetani akamwingia Yuda aitwae Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili.
Satan however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot), who was one of the twelve.
4 Yuda akaenda akajadiliana na makuhani wakuu na walinzi wa Hekalu kuhusu atakavyomsaliti Yesu kwao.
And he went out and conferred with the chief priests and commanders
5 Nao wakafurahi na kupatana naye kumlipa fedha.
They were delighted, and agreed to give him money.
6 Yuda akakubali, na akawa anatafuta nafasi nzuri ya kumkabidhi kwao bila umati wa watu kujua.
He consented to this, and looked for an opportunity to betray him, when the people were not present.
7 Basi, siku ya Mikate Isiyotiwa chachu ikafika. Hiyo ndiyo siku ambayo mwana kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa.
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the paschal lamb must be sacrificed.
8 Hivyo Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohane, akawaambia, “Nendeni mkatuandalie karamu ili tupate kula Pasaka.”
So Jesus went to Peter and Johnsaying, "Go and prepare for us the Passover, that we may eat it."
9 Nao wakamwuliza, “Unataka tuiandae wapi?”
"Where shall we get it ready?" they asked.
10 Akawaambia, “Sikilizeni! Mtakapokuwa mnakwenda mjini, mtakutana na mwanamume anayebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni mpaka ndani ya nyumba atakayoingia.
He answered. "No sooner will you have entered the city than you will meet a man carrying a water-jug. Follow him into the house were he is going.
11 Mwambieni mwenye nyumba: Mwalimu anakuuliza, kiko wapi kile chumba ambamo nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu?
"And to the good man of the house say, ‘The teacher asks you, "Where is the room in which I can eat the Passover with my disciples?"‘
12 Naye atawaonyesheni chumba kikubwa ghorofani ambacho kimepambwa. Andalieni humo.”
"Then he will show you a large upper room furnished. There make your preparations."
13 Basi, wakaenda, wakakuta kila kitu sawa kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia; wakaandaa karamu ya Pasaka.
So they went and found everything as he had told them, they prepared the Passover.
14 Saa ilipotimia, Yesu akakaa kula chakula pamoja na mitume wake.
And when the hour was come he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him,
15 Akawaambia, “Nimetamani sana kula Pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.
and he said to them. "With desire have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 Maana nawaambieni, sitaila tena hadi hapo itakapokamilika katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
For I tell you that I certainly will not eat again until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
17 Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akashukuru akasema, “Pokeeni, mgawanye ninyi kwa ninyi.
Then he had received a cup and given thanks, he said,
18 Kwa maana nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka Ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”
"Take this, and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God is come."
19 Halafu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu, unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka.”
And he took a loaf, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them saying. "This is my body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.’
20 Akafanya vivyo hivyo na kikombe, baada ya chakula, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya linalothibitishwa kwa damu yangu inayomwagika kwa ajili yenu.
He gave them a cup in like manner, after supper saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for your sake.
21 “Lakini, tazameni! Yule atakayenisaliti yuko nami hapa mezani.
"But behold, the hand of my betrayer is at the table with me!
22 Kweli Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda kuuawa kama ilivyopangwa, lakini ole wake mtu anayemsaliti.”
"The Son of man indeed goes on his way, as it has been determined; but woe to that man by who he is betrayed."
23 Hapo wakaanza kuulizana wao kwa wao ni nani kati yao atakayefanya jambo hilo.
And they began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do such a thing.
24 Kulitokea ubishi kati ya hao mitume kuhusu nani miongoni mwao anayefikiriwa kuwa mkuu zaidi kuliko wengine.
And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them could be considered the greatest,
25 Yesu akawaambia, “Wafalme wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, nao huitwa wafadhili wa watu.
and he said to them. "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have who have authority over them are called Benefactors.
26 Lakini isiwe hivyo kati yenu; bali, yule aliye mkuu kati yenu ni lazima awe mdogo wa wote, na aliye kiongozi lazima awe kama mtumishi.
"But you shall not be so. But he who is greater among you let him become like the younger; and he who is leader like him who serves.
27 Kwa maana, ni nani aliye mkuu: yule anayeketi mezani kula chakula, ama yule anayetumikia? Bila shaka ni yule anayeketi mezani kula chakula! Hata hivyo, mimi niko hapa kati yenu kama mtumishi.
"For which is greater, he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at table? But I am in your midst as one who serves.
28 “Ninyi ndio mliobaki nami wakati wote wa majaribu yangu;
"You, however, are those who have stood by me in my trials.
29 na, kama vile Baba yangu alivyonikabidhi Ufalme, vivyo hivyo nami nitawakabidhi ninyi Ufalme.
"And I promise you a kingdom, even as my Father has promised me a kingdom;
30 Mtakula na kunywa mezani pangu katika ufalme wangu, na mtaketi katika viti vya enzi kuyahukumu makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.
"so that you shall eat and drink in my kingdom, and you shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 “Simoni, Simoni! Sikiliza! Shetani alitaka kuwapepeta ninyi kama mtu anavyopepeta ngano.
"Simon, Simon," said the Lord, "behold, Satan has asked to have you all that he might sift you like wheat.
32 Lakini mimi nimekuombea ili imani yako isipungue. Nawe utakaponirudia, watie moyo ndugu zako.”
"But I made supplication for you that your own faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned again, must strengthen your brothers."
33 Naye Petro akamjibu, “Bwana, mimi niko tayari kwenda pamoja nawe gerezani, na hata kufa.”
"Lord," Simon said to him, "I am ready to go with you, both to prison and to death."
34 Yesu akamjibu, “Nakwambia wewe Petro, kabla jogoo hajawika leo utakuwa umenikana mara tatu.”
"I tell you, Peter," he answered. "the cock will not crow this day until you will three times deny that you know me."
35 Kisha, Yesu akawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Wakati nilipowatuma bila mfuko wa fedha wala mkoba wala viatu, mlitindikiwa chochote?” Wakajibu, “La.”
Moreover, he said to them, "When I sent you out without purse or wallet or sandals, did you lack anything?" They answered him, "We lacked nothing.’
36 Naye akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, yule aliye na mfuko wa fedha auchukue; na aliye na mkoba, hali kadhalika. Na yeyote asiye na upanga, auze koti lake anunue mmoja.
Then he said to them. "But now let him who has a purse take it, and he who has a wallet, let him the do the same. And he who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.
37 Maana nawaambieni, haya maneno ya Maandiko Matakatifu: Aliwekwa kundi moja na wahalifu, ni lazima yatimie. Naam, yale yanayonihusu yanafikia ukamilifu wake.”
"For I say to you that this word of Scripture must find it’s fulfilment in me. "And he was numbered among the transgressors, For that which concerns me has its accomplishment."
38 Nao wakasema, “Bwana, tazama; hapa kuna panga mbili.” Naye akasema, “Basi!”
"Master" they said, "here are two swords!" "That is enough," he answered.
39 Yesu akatoka, na kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake, akaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni; wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.
Then he went out, and began to go to the Mount of Olives, as was his wont; and his disciples followed him.
40 Alipofika huko akawaambia, “Salini, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.”
But he arrived at the place he said to them, "Pray that you enter not into temptation."
41 Kisha akawaacha, akaenda umbali wa mtu kuweza kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti, akasali:
But he himself withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, kneeling down he prayed repeatedly, saying.
42 “Baba, kama wapenda, ukiondoe kwangu kikombe hiki; hata hivyo, mapenzi yako yatimizwe, wala siyo yangu.”
"Father, if thou art willing, take away this cup from me; but thy will, not mine, be done!"
43 Hapo, malaika kutoka mbinguni, akamtokea ili kumtia moyo.
(And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 Akiwa katika uchungu mkubwa, alisali kwa bidii zaidi; na jasho likamtoka, kama matone ya damu, likatiririka mpaka chini.
(And being in agony he kept praying more earnestly; and his sweat became as if it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.)
45 Baada ya kusali, aliwarudia wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala, kwani walikuwa na huzuni.
When he arose from his prayers, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 Akawaambia, “Mbona mnalala? Amkeni msali, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.”
and said to them. "Why are you asleep? Get up, and pray that you enter not into temptation."
47 Alipokuwa bado anaongea, kundi la watu likaja likiongozwa na yule aliyeitwa Yuda, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili. Yuda akaenda kumsalimu Yesu kwa kumbusu.
While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus in order to kiss him,
48 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda! Je, unamsaliti Mwana wa Mtu kwa kumbusu?”
but Jesus said to him, "Judas, you are betraying the Son of man with a kiss?"
49 Wale wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakasema, “Bwana, tutumie panga zetu?”
Those who were around him, when they saw what was about to happen, said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with our swords?"
50 Na mmoja wao akampiga upanga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio lake la kulia.
Then one of them did strike a blow at the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear.
51 Hapo, Yesu akasema, “Acha! Hii inatosha.” Akaligusa sikio la mtu huyo akaliponya.
"Permit me to do this at least," said Jesus, as he touched his ear and healed him.
52 Kisha Yesu akawaambia makuhani wakuu, wakubwa wa walinzi wa Hekalu na wazee waliokuja kumkamata: “Je, mmekuja na mapanga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi?
Then Jesus said to the corps of priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come out to arrest him. "Have ye come for me with swords and clubs to arrest me like a robber?
53 Nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi kila siku Hekaluni hamkunitia nguvuni. Lakini, huu ndio wakati wenu hasa, ndio wakati wa utawala wa giza.”
"When daily I was with you in the temple you did not stretch out your hands to take me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness."
54 Basi, wakamkamata, wakamchukua na kwenda naye nyumbani kwa Kuhani Mkuu. Petro akawa anamfuata nyuma kwa mbali.
So they seized him and led him away, and took him to the house of the high priest; while Peter was following him a long way off.
55 Moto ulikuwa umewashwa katikati ya ua, nao wakawa wameketi pamoja Petro akiwa miongoni mwao.
And when they had lighted a fire in the center of the court, and had sat down together, Peter was taking his seat among them.
56 Mjakazi mmoja alipomwona Petro ameketi karibu na moto, akamkodolea macho, akasema, “Mtu huyu alikuwa pia pamoja na Yesu.”
But a certain maid servant saw him taking his seat near the fire and, with a sharp glance at him, she said, "This fellow was with him, too!"
57 Lakini Petro akakana akisema, “Wee! simjui mimi.”
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I know nothing about him."
58 Baadaye kidogo, mtu mwingine akamwona Petro, akasema, “Wewe ni mmoja wao.” Lakini Petro akajibu “Bwana we; si mimi!”
A little later a man saw him, and said, "You too are one of them" But Peter declared, "Man, I am not."
59 Kama saa moja baadaye, mtu mwingine akasisitiza, “Hakika huyu alikuwa pamoja naye; ametoka Galilaya ati.”
But an hour afterwards another man kept insisting, saying. "Really, this fellow was with him. Why, he is a Galilean."
60 Lakini Petro akasema, “Bwana wee; sijui hata unachosema!” Na papo hapo, akiwa bado anaongea, jogoo akawika.
"Man," said Peter, "I do not know what you mean." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crew.
61 Bwana akageuka na kumtazama Petro, naye Petro akakumbuka yale aliyokuwa ameambiwa na Bwana: “Leo kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."
62 Hapo akatoka nje, akalia sana.
And Peter went outside and wept with bitter crying.
63 Wale watu waliokuwa wanamchunga Yesu, walimpiga na kumdhihaki.
Meanwhile the men who were holding Jesus in custody kept mocking and striking him.
64 Walimfunga kitambaa usoni, wakawa wanamwuliza, “Ni nani aliyekupiga? Hebu bashiri tuone!”
They would blindfold him and ask him. "Prophesy! Tell who struck you!"
65 Wakamtolea maneno mengi ya matusi.
And they said many other insulting things against him.
66 Kulipokucha, kikao cha wazee wa watu kilifanyika, ambacho kilihudhuriwa na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Yesu akaletwa mbele ya Baraza hilo.
When it became the day the elders if the people met with the high priests and the Scribes and had brought before the Sanhedrin, saying.
67 Nao wakamwambia, “Twambie! Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo?” Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Hata kama nikiwaambieni, hamtasadiki;
"Are you the Christ? Tell us!" "If I tell you," he answered, "you will not believe;
68 na hata kama nikiwaulizeni swali, hamtanijibu.
"And if I ask you, you will not answer.
69 Lakini tangu sasa, Mwana wa Mtu atakuwa ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mwenyezi.”
"But from henceforth the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
70 Hapo wote wakasema, “Ndiyo kusema wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu?” Naye akasema, “Ninyi mnasema kwamba mimi ndiye.”
Then they all said, "Are you then the Son of God."
71 Nao wakasema, “Je, tunahitaji ushahidi mwingine? Sisi wenyewe tumesikia akisema kwa mdomo wake mwenyewe.”
"What need we of further evidence? for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
