Mathayo 26
1 Yesu alipomaliza kusema hayo yote, aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,
And when Jesus had finished these discourses, He said to his disciples,
2 “Mnajua kwamba baada ya siku mbili tutakuwa na sikukuu ya Pasaka, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa ili asulubiwe.”
Ye know that after two days the passover is to be kept, ---and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Wakati huo makuhani wakuu na wazee wa watu walikutana pamoja katika ukumbi wa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu.
Now the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people were then assembled together into the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas:
4 Wakashauriana jinsi ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.
and were consulting how they might take Jesus by treachery and put Him to death.
5 Lakini wakaamua jambo hilo lisifanyike wakati wa sikukuu, kusije kukatokea ghasia kati ya watu.
But they said, Not on the feast-day, least there should be a tumult among the people.
6 Yesu alipokuwa Bethania, nyumbani kwa Simoni, aitwaye Mkoma,
And when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 mama mmoja aliyekuwa na chupa ya alabasta yenye marashi ya thamani kubwa, alimjia pale mezani alipokuwa amekaa kula chakula, akammiminia hayo marashi kichwani.
there came to Him a woman with an alabaster-box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as He was at table:
8 Wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakakasirika, wakasema, “Ya nini hasara hii?
but when his disciples saw it, they were some of them provoked at it, and said, Wherefore is this waste?
9 Marashi haya yangaliweza kuuzwa kwa bei kubwa, maskini wakapewa hizo fedha.”
for this ointment might have been sold for a great deal of money, and given to the poor.
10 Yesu alitambua mawazo yao, akawaambia, “Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mama? Yeye amenitendea jambo jema.
But Jesus, knowing what passed, said to them, Why do ye give the woman uneasiness? for she has done a good office to me:
11 Maskini mnao daima pamoja nanyi, lakini mimi sitakuwapo pamoja nanyi daima.
(seeing ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always: ) for in pouring this ointment on my body,
12 Huyu mama amenimiminia marashi ili kunitayarisha kwa maziko.
she has embalmed me for my burial.
13 Nawaambieni kweli, popote ambapo hii Habari Njema itahubiriwa ulimwenguni, kitendo hiki alichofanya mama huyu kitatajwa kwa kumkumbuka yeye.”
Verily I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached, in the whole world, what she hath done shall also be spoken of for a memorial of her.
14 Kisha, Yuda Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, akaenda kwa makuhani wakuu,
About this time went one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot,
15 akawaambia, “Mtanipa kitu gani kama nikimkabidhi Yesu kwenu?” Wakamhesabia sarafu thelathini za fedha;
to the chief priests, and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver Him to you? and they promised him thirty pieces of silver:
16 na tangu wakati huo Yuda akawa anatafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti.
and from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.
17 Siku ya kwanza kabla ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, wanafunzi walimwendea Yesu wakamwuliza, “Unataka tukuandalie wapi chakula cha Pasaka?”
Now upon the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, came the disciples to Jesus, saying, where wouldest thou have us make preparation for thee to eat the passover?
18 Yeye akawajibu, “Nendeni mjini kwa mtu fulani, mkamwambie: Mwalimu anasema, wakati wangu umefika; kwako nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu.”
And He said, Go into the city, to such a man, and tell him, The master saith, my time is near, I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples: and the disciples did as Jesus ordered them,
19 Wanafunzi wakafanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, wakaandaa Pasaka.
and prepared the passover.
20 Kulipokuwa jioni, Yesu akakaa mezani pamoja na wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.
And when the evening was come, He sat down with the twelve:
21 Walipokuwa wakila, Yesu akasema, “Nawaambieni kweli, mmoja wenu atanisaliti.”
and as they were eating, He said, Verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me.
22 Wanafunzi wakahuzunika sana, wakaanza kuuliza mmojammoja, “Bwana! Je, ni mimi?”
And they were exceedingly grieved, and said to Him, every one of them, Lord, is it I?
23 Yesu akajibu, “Atakayechovya mkate pamoja nami katika bakuli ndiye atakayenisaliti.
and He answered, he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, even he will betray me.
24 Naam, Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda zake kama Maandiko Matakatifu yasemavyo, lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayemsaliti Mwana wa Mtu! Ingalikuwa afadhali kwa mtu huyo kama hangalizaliwa.”
The Son of man is going indeed as it is written concerning Him: but wo to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed; it had been good for him, if that man had never been born.
25 Yuda, ambaye ndiye aliyetaka kumsaliti, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu! Je, ni mimi?” Yesu akamjibu, “Wewe umesema.”
And Judas, who betrayed Him, answered and said, Master, is it I? and He said unto him, It is.
26 Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa wanafunzi wake akisema, “Twaeni mle; huu ni mwili wangu.”
Now as they were at table, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body:
27 Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akamshukuru Mungu, akawapa akisema, “Nyweni nyote;
and He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it:
28 maana hii ni damu yangu inayothibitisha agano, damu inayomwagwa kwa ajili ya watu wengi ili kuwaondolea dhambi.
for this is my blood, the blood of the new covenant, which is to be shed for many for the remission of sins:
29 Nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapoinywa mpya pamoja nanyi katika Ufalme wa Baba yangu.”
but I tell you, that from henceforth I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.
30 Baada ya kuimba wimbo, wakaondoka, wakaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
31 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Usiku huu wa leo, ninyi nyote mtakuwa na mashaka nami, maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: Nitampiga mchungaji, na kondoo wa kundi watatawanyika.
Then saith Jesus unto them, Ye will all take offence at me this night; for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered:"
32 Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulieni Galilaya.”
but after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Petro akamwambia Yesu “Hata kama wote watakuwa na mashaka nawe na kukuacha, mimi sitakuacha kamwe.”
But Peter answered and said to Him, though they should all be offended in thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Yesu akamwambia, “Kweli nakwambia, usiku huu kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
Jesus said unto him, Verily I tell thee that this night, before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
35 Petro akamwambia, “Hata kama ni lazima nife pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Wale wanafunzi wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
Peter replied, though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. And so likewise said all the disciples.
36 Kisha Yesu akaenda pamoja nao bustanini Gethsemane, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa nami niende pale mbele kusali.”
Then went Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to the disciples, Sit here, while I go there and pray:
37 Akawachukua Petro na wana wawili wa Zebedayo, akaanza kuwa na huzuni na mahangaiko.
and having taken with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be sorrowful and much distressed;
38 Hapo akawaambia, “Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe pamoja nami.”
and saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death, stay here and watch with me.
39 Basi, akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akasali: “Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, aacha kikombe hiki cha mateso kinipite; lakini isiwe nitakavyo mimi, ila utakavyo wewe.”
And going a little farther, He prostrated himself, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 Akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Ndiyo kusema hamkuweza kukesha pamoja nami hata saa moja?
And coming to the disciples, he findeth them asleep, and saith to Peter, what! could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho i tayari lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 Akaenda tena mara ya pili akasali: “Baba yangu, kama haiwezekani kikombe hiki kinipite bila mimi kukinywa, basi, mapenzi yako yafanyike.”
And going away again, the second time He prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass from me, unless I drink it, thy will be done.
43 Akawaendea tena, akawakuta wamelala, maana macho yao yalikuwa yamebanwa na usingizi.
And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Basi, akawaacha, akaenda tena kusali mara ya tatu kwa maneno yaleyale.
And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, to the same effect.
45 Kisha akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawaambia, “Je, mngali mmelala na kupumzika? Tazameni! Saa yenyewe imefika, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa kwa watu wenye dhambi.
Then He cometh to his disciples and saith, Are ye sleeping still and taking your rest? behold, the hour is come, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Amkeni, twendeni zetu. Tazameni! Anakuja yule atakayenisaliti.”
Rise, let us go, see the traitor is at hand.
47 Basi, Yesu alipokuwa bado anasema nao, mara akaja Yuda, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili. Pamoja naye walikuja watu wengi wenye mapanga na marungu ambao walitumwa na makuhani wakuu na wazee wa watu.
And while He was yet speaking, behold, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great number, with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people:
48 Huyo aliyetaka kumsaliti Yesu, alikuwa amekwisha wapa ishara akisema: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye; mkamateni.”
(now he that betrayed Him, had given them a signal, saying, The man whom I shall kiss is He, lay hold of Him: )
49 Basi, Yuda akamkaribia Yesu, akamwambia, “Shikamoo, Mwalimu!” Kisha akambusu.
and going directly up to Jesus, he said, Hail master, and kissed Him.
50 Yesu akamwambia, “Rafiki, fanya ulichokuja kufanya.” Hapo wale watu wakaja, wakamkamata Yesu, wakamtia nguvuni.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? then they came up and laid hands on Jesus, and apprehended Him.
51 Mmoja wa wale waliokuwa pamoja na Yesu akanyosha mkono, akauchomoa upanga wake, akampiga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio.
And one of them that were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and striking at the high priest's servant took off his ear.
52 Hapo Yesu akamwambia, “Rudisha upanga wako alani, maana yeyote anayeutumia upanga, atakufa kwa upanga.
Then said Jesus to him, Put up thy sword into it's place; for they that take the sword shall perish by the sword:
53 Je, hamjui kwamba ningeweza kumwomba Baba yangu naye mara angeniletea zaidi ya majeshi kumi na mawili ya malaika?
dost thou think that I cannot now apply to my Father, and He will send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Lakini yatatimiaje Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo kwamba ndivyo inavyopaswa kuwa?”
but how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that thus it must be?
55 Wakati huohuo Yesu akauambia huo umati wa watu waliokuja kumtia nguvuni, “Je, mmekuja kunikamata kwa mapanga na marungu kama kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi? Kila siku nilikuwa Hekaluni nikifundisha, na hamkunikamata!
Then said Jesus to the multitudes, Ye are come out as against a thief with swords and clubs to take me, whereas I sat with you day after day teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me: but all this is done,
56 Lakini haya yote yametendeka ili Maandiko ya manabii yatimie.” Kisha wanafunzi wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.
that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.
57 Basi, hao watu waliomkamata Yesu walimpeleka nyumbani kwa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu, walikokusanyika walimu wa Sheria na wazee.
Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled. And they, that apprehended Jesus, led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled:
58 Petro alimfuata kwa mbali mpaka uani kwa Kuhani Mkuu, akaingia ndani pamoja na walinzi ili apate kuona mambo yatakavyokuwa.
and Peter followed Him at a distance, to the high-priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, that he might see the issue.
59 Basi, makuhani wakuu na Baraza lote wakatafuta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi ya Yesu wapate kumwua,
Now the chief priests and elders, and the whole council sought false-witness against Jesus, that they might put Him to death: but found none.
60 lakini hawakupata ushahidi wowote, ingawa walikuja mashahidi wengi wa uongo. Mwishowe wakaja mashahidi wawili,
And tho' many false witnesses came, they found none to their purpose. But at last came two false witnesses and said,
61 wakasema, “Mtu huyu alisema: Ninaweza kuliharibu Hekalu la Mungu na kulijenga tena kwa siku tatu.”
This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 Kuhani Mkuu akasimama, akamwuliza Yesu, “Je, hujibu neno? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?”
And the high priest stood up and said to Him, Dost thou make no answer? what do these men testify against thee? but Jesus made no reply.
63 Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya. Kuhani Mkuu akamwambia, “Nakuapisha kwa Mungu aliye hai, twambie kama wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu!”
Then the high priest said to Him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Yesu akamwambia, “Wewe umesema! Lakini nawaambieni, tangu sasa mtamwona Mwana wa Mtu ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mwenyezi, akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni.”
Jesus saith unto him, It is as thou hast said: and I tell you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
65 Hapo, Kuhani Mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, “Amekufuru! Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi? Sasa mmesikia kufuru yake.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy, what need have we more of witnesses? now ye have heard his blasphemy, what think ye?
66 Ninyi mwaonaje?” Wao wakamjibu, “Anastahili kufa!”
and they answered, He ought to be put to death.
67 Kisha wakamtemea mate usoni, wakampiga makofi. Wengine wakiwa wanampiga makofi,
Then did they spit in his face, and beat Him about the head; and some struck Him with rods,
68 wakasema, “Haya Kristo, tutabirie; ni nani amekupiga!”
saying, Divine to us, thou Christ, who it is that smote thee.
69 Petro alikuwa ameketi nje uani. Basi, mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamwendea, akasema, “Wewe ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Galilaya.”
Now Peter was sitting without in the hall, and one of the maids came to him and said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee:
70 Petro akakana mbele ya wote akisema, “Sijui hata unasema nini.”
but he denied it before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 Alipokuwa akitoka mlangoni, mtumishi mwingine wa kike akamwona, akawaambia wale waliokuwa pale, “Mtu huyu alikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Nazareti.”
And he went out into the porch; after which another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth:
72 Petro akakana tena kwa kiapo: “Simjui mtu huyo.”
and he denied a second time, and that with an oath, saying, I know not the man. And a little after, they that stood by came to Peter and said,
73 Baadaye kidogo, watu waliokuwa pale wakamwendea Petro, wakamwambia, “Hakika, wewe pia ni mmoja wao, maana msemo wako unakutambulisha.”
Verily thou also art one of them, for thy speech discovers thee:
74 Hapo Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuapa akisema, “Simjui mtu huyo!” Mara jogoo akawika.
then he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Petro akakumbuka maneno aliyoambiwa na Yesu: “Kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.” Basi, akatoka nje akalia sana.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said to him, before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
