Marko 14
1 Ilikuwa siku mbili tu kabla ya sikukuu ya Pasaka na ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu. Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria walikuwa wakitafuta njia ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.
Now the feast of Passover and of Unleavened Bread was two days away. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a means by which they might deceitfully seize him and kill him.
2 Lakini walisema, “Tusimtie nguvuni wakati wa sikukuu, watu wasije wakafanya ghasia.”
But they said, “Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.”
3 Yesu alikuwa Bethania, nyumbani kwa Simoni, Mkoma. Alipokuwa mezani kula chakula, mama mmoja aliyekuwa na chupa ya alabasta yenye marashi ya nardo safi ya thamani kubwa alikuja, akaivunja hiyo chupa, akammiminia Yesu marashi hayo kichwani.
And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was reclining to eat, a woman arrived having an alabaster container of ointment, of precious spikenard. And breaking open the alabaster container, she poured it over his head.
4 Baadhi ya watu waliokuwa hapo walikasirika wakajisemea, “Kwa nini kupoteza ovyo marashi haya?
But there were some who became indignant within themselves and who were saying: “What is the reason for this waste of the ointment?
5 Yangaliweza kuuzwa kwa fedha kiasi cha denari mia tatu, wakapewa maskini!” Wakamkemea huyo mama.
For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and been given to the poor.” And they murmured against her.
6 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Mwacheni; kwa nini mnamsumbua? Amenitendea jambo jema.
But Jesus said: “Permit her. What is the reason that you trouble her? She has done a good deed for me.
7 Maskini mnao daima pamoja nanyi; mnaweza kuwasaidia wakati wowote mnaopenda. Lakini mimi sitakuwapo pamoja nanyi daima.
For the poor, you have with you always. And whenever you wish, you are able to do good to them. But you do not have me always.
8 Yeye amefanya alivyoweza; ameupaka mwili wangu marashi kuutayarisha kwa maziko.
But she has done what she could. She has arrived in advance to anoint my body for burial.
9 Nawaambieni kweli, popote ulimwenguni Habari Njema itakapohubiriwa, kitendo hiki alichofanya kitatajwa kwa ajili ya kumkumbuka.”
Amen I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the entire world, the things she has done also shall be told, in memory of her.”
10 Kisha Yuda Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, alienda kwa makuhani wakuu ili kumsaliti Yesu.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away, to the leaders of the priests, in order to betray him to them.
11 Makuhani wakuu waliposikia habari hiyo, walifurahi, wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Basi, Yuda akaanza kutafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti Yesu.
And they, upon hearing it, were gladdened. And they promised him that they would give him money. And he sought an opportune means by which he might betray him.
12 Siku ya kwanza ya sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, wakati ambapo mwana kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza, “Wataka tukuandalie wapi karamu ya Pasaka?”
And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they immolate the Passover, the disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
13 Basi Yesu akawatuma wawili wa wanafunzi wake akiwaambia, “Nendeni mjini, nanyi mtakutana na mtu anayebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni
And he sent two of his disciples, and he said to them: “Go into the city. And you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.
14 mpaka katika nyumba atakayoingia, mkamwambie mwenye nyumba, Mwalimu anasema: wapi chumba changu ambamo nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu?
And wherever he will have entered, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says: Where is my dining room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’
15 Naye atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani kilichotayarishwa na kupambwa. Tuandalieni humo.”
And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And there, you shall prepare it for us.”
16 Wanafunzi wakaondoka, wakaenda mjini, wakakuta kila kitu sawa kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia. Wakaandaa karamu ya Pasaka.
And his disciples departed and went into the city. And they found it just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
17 Ilipokuwa jioni, Yesu alifika pamoja na wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
Then, when evening came, he arrived with the twelve.
18 Walipokuwa mezani wakila, Yesu alisema, “Kweli nawaambieni, mmoja wenu anayekula pamoja nami, atanisaliti.”
And while reclining and eating with them at table, Jesus said, “Amen I say to you, that one of you, who eats with me, will betray me.”
19 Hapo wanafunzi wake wakaanza kuhuzunika, wakamwuliza mmojammoja, “Je, ni mimi?”
But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one at a time: “Is it I?”
20 Yesu akawaambia, “Ni mmoja wenu ninyi kumi na wawili, anayechovya mkate pamoja nami katika bakuli.
And he said to them: “It is one of the twelve, who dips his hand with me in the dish.
21 Kweli Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda zake kama Maandiko Matakatifu yanavyosema juu yake; lakini, ole wake mtu yule anayemsaliti Mwana wa Mtu! Ingalikuwa afadhali kwa mtu huyo kama hangalizaliwa!”
And indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”
22 Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu alitwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake akisema, “Twaeni; huu ni mwili wangu.”
And while eating with them, Jesus took bread. And blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, and he said: “Take. This is my body.”
23 Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akamshukuru Mungu, akawapa; nao wote wakanywa katika kikombe hicho.
And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank from it.
24 Akawaambia, “Hii ni damu yangu inayothibitisha agano la Mungu, damu inayomwagwa kwa ajili ya watu wengi.
And he said to them: “This is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many.
25 Kweli nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapoinywa upya katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
Amen I say to you, that I will no longer drink from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 Kisha wakaimba wimbo, wakaondoka, wakaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni.
And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ninyi nyote mtakuwa na mashaka nami; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: Nitampiga mchungaji nao kondoo watatawanyika.
And Jesus said to them: “You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 Lakini nikisha fufuka, nitawatangulieni kule Galilaya.”
But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 Petro akamwambia “Hata kama wote watakuwa na mashaka nawe na kukuacha, mimi sitakukana kamwe!”
Then Peter said to him, “Even if all will have fallen away from you, yet I will not.”
30 Yesu akamwambia, “Kweli nakwambia, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utanikana mara tatu.”
And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, that this day, in this night, before the rooster has uttered its voice twice, you will deny me three times.”
31 Lakini Petro akasisitiza, “Hata kama ni lazima nife pamoja nawe, sitakuacha kamwe.” Wanafunzi wote pia wakasema vivyo hivyo.
But he spoke further, “Even if I must die along with you, I will not deny you.” And they all spoke similarly also.
32 Basi, wakafika katika bustani iitwayo Gethsemane. Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa wakati mimi nasali.”
And they went to a country estate, by the name of Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”
33 Kisha akawachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohane; akaanza kufadhaika sana na kuhangaika.
And he took Peter, and James, and John with him. And he began to be afraid and wearied.
34 Akawaambia, “Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe.”
And he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Remain here and be vigilant.”
35 Akaenda mbele kidogo, akajitupa chini kifudifudi, akasali kwamba, kama ingewezekana, asiipitie saa hiyo ya mateso.
And when he had proceeded on a little ways, he fell prostrate on the ground. And he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36 Akasema, “Baba yangu, kwako mambo yote yanawezekana. Uniondolee kikombe hiki; lakini isiwe kama nitakavyo mimi, bali utakavyo wewe.”
And he said: “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this chalice from me. But let it be, not as I will, but as you will.”
37 Kisha akarudi kwa wanafunzi wale watatu, akawakuta wamelala. Basi, akamwuliza Petro, “Simoni, je umelala? Hukuweza kukesha hata saa moja?”
And he went and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to be vigilant for one hour?
38 Kisha akawaambia, “Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho i radhi, lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
Watch and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Akaenda kusali tena akirudia maneno yaleyale.
And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.
40 Kisha akarudi tena, akawakuta wamelala. Macho yao yalikuwa yamebanwa na usingizi. Hawakujua la kumjibu.
And upon returning, he found them sleeping yet again, (for their eyes were heavy) and they did not know how to respond to him.
41 Alipowajia mara ya tatu aliwaambia, “Mnalala bado na kupumzika? Sasa imetosha! Saa imefika! Mwana wa Mtu anakabidhiwa kwa watu waovu.
And he arrived for the third time, and he said to them: “Sleep now, and take rest. It is enough. The hour has arrived. Behold, the Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Amkeni, twendeni zetu. Tazameni, yule atakayenisaliti amekaribia.”
Rise up, let us go. Behold, he who will betray me is near.”
43 Yesu alipokuwa bado anasema, Yuda, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, akafika pamoja na umati wa watu wenye mapanga na marungu. Watu hao walikuwa wametumwa na makuhani wakuu, walimu wa Sheria na wazee.
And while he was still speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders.
44 Msaliti Yuda alikuwa amewapa ishara: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye; mkamateni, mkampeleke chini ya ulinzi.”
Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying: “He whom I shall kiss, it is he. Take hold of him, and lead him away cautiously.”
45 Yuda alipofika tu, alimwendea Yesu moja kwa moja, akasema, “Mwalimu!” Kisha akambusu.
And when he had arrived, immediately drawing near to him, he said: “Hail, Master!” And he kissed him.
46 Basi, hao watu wakamkamata Yesu, wakamtia nguvuni.
But they laid hands on him and held him.
47 Mmoja wa wale waliokuwa wamesimama hapo pamoja na Yesu akauchomoa upanga wake, akampiga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio.
Then a certain one of those standing near, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 Yesu akawaambia, “Je, mmekuja na mapanga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi?
And in response, Jesus said to them: “Have you set out to apprehend me, just as if to a robber, with swords and clubs?
49 Kila siku nilikuwa pamoja nanyi nikifundisha Hekaluni, wala hamkunikamata. Lakini sasa lazima Maandiko Matakatifu yatimie.”
Daily, I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take hold of me. But in this way, the scriptures are fulfilled.”
50 Hapo wanafunzi wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
Then his disciples, leaving him behind, all fled away.
51 Kulikuwa na kijana mmoja aliyekuwa anamfuata Yesu akiwa amevaa shuka. Nao wakajaribu kumkamata.
Now a certain young man followed him, having nothing but a fine linen cloth over himself. And they took hold of him.
52 Lakini yeye akaponyoka, akaiachilia ile shuka, akakimbia uchi.
But he, rejecting the fine linen cloth, escaped from them naked.
53 Basi, wakampeleka Yesu kwa Kuhani Mkuu ambapo makuhani wakuu wote, wazee na walimu wa Sheria walikuwa wamekutanika.
And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the elders came together.
54 Petro alimfuata Yesu kwa mbali, akaingia ndani ya ya wa Kuhani Mkuu, akaketi pamoja na walinzi akiota moto.
But Peter followed him from a distance, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself.
55 Makuhani wakuu na Baraza lote wakatafuta ushahidi wa kumshtaki Yesu wapate kumwua, lakini hawakupata.
Yet truly, the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death, and they found none.
56 Watu wengi walitoa ushahidi wa uongo juu ya Yesu, lakini ushahidi wao haukupatana.
For many spoke false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree.
57 Kisha wengine walisimama, wakatoa ushahidi wa uongo wakisema:
And certain ones, rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:
58 “Tulimsikia mtu huyu akisema, Nitaliharibu Hekalu hili lililojengwa kwa mikono, na kwa siku tatu nitajenga lingine lisilojengwa kwa mikono.”
“For we heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple, made with hands, and within three days I will build another, not made with hands.’”
59 Lakini hata hivyo, ushahidi wao haukupatana.
And their testimony did not agree.
60 Basi, Kuhani Mkuu akasimama katikati yao, akamwuliza Yesu, “Je, hujibu neno? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?”
And the high priest, rising up in their midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “Do you have nothing to say in answer to the things that are brought against you by these ones?”
61 Lakini yeye akakaa kimya; hakusema hata neno moja. Kuhani Mkuu akamwuliza tena, “Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu Mtukufu?”
But he was silent and gave no answer. Again, the high priest questioned him, and he said to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God?”
62 Yesu akajibu, “Naam, mimi ndiye. Tena, mtamwona Mwana wa Mtu amekaa upande wa kulia wa Mwenyezi, akija katika mawingu ya mbinguni.”
Then Jesus said to him: “I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God and arriving with the clouds of heaven.”
63 Hapo Kuhani Mkuu akararua joho lake, akasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi?
Then the high priest, rending his garments, said: “Why do we still require witnesses?
64 Mmesikia kufuru yake! Ninyi mwaonaje?” Wote wakaamua kwamba anastahili kuuawa.
You have heard the blasphemy. How does it seem to you?” And they all condemned him, as guilty unto death.
65 Basi, baadhi yao wakaanza kumtemea mate, wakamfunika uso, wakampiga na kumwambia, “Bashiri ni nani aliyekupiga!” Hata watumishi wakamchukua, wakampiga makofi.
And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and to strike him with fists, and to say to him, “Prophesy.” And the servants struck him with the palms their hands.
66 Petro alipokuwa bado chini ukumbini, mmoja wa wajakazi wa kuhani Mkuu alikuja.
And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maidservants of the high priest arrived.
67 Alipomwona Petro akiota moto, alimtazama, akamwambia, “Hata wewe ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu Mnazareti.”
And when she had seen Peter warming himself, she stared at him, and she said: “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.”
68 Lakini Petro akakana, “Sijui, wala sielewi unayosema!” Kisha Petro akaondoka, akaenda nje uani. Hapo jogoo akawika.
But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you saying.” And he went outside, in front of the court; and a rooster crowed.
69 Yule mjakazi alipomwona tena Petro, akaanza tena kuwaambia watu waliokuwa wamesimama hapo, “Mtu huyu ni mmoja wao.”
Then again, when a maidservant had seen him, she began to say to the bystanders, “For this is one of them.”
70 Petro akakana tena. Baadaye kidogo, watu waliokuwa wamesimama hapo wakamwambia Petro, “Hakika wewe ni mmoja wao, maana wewe ni Mgalilaya.”
But he denied it again. And after a little while, again those standing near said to Peter: “In truth, you are one of them. For you, too, are a Galilean.”
71 Lakini Petro akaanza kulaani na kuapa akisema, “Mimi simjui mtu huyu mnayesema habari zake.”
Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, “For I do not know this man, about whom you are speaking.”
72 Hapo jogoo akawika mara ya pili. Basi, Petro akakumbuka jinsi Yesu alivyokuwa amemwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utanikana mara tatu.” Petro akabubujika machozi.
And immediately the rooster crowed again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he began to weep.
