1
Basi ndipo Pilato alipomtwaa Yesu, akampiga mijeledi.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2
Nao askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamtia kichwani, wakamvika vazi la zambarau.
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
3
Wakawa wakimwendea, wakisema, Salamu! 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
Kisha Pilato akatokea tena nje, akawaambia, Mtu huyu namleta nje kwenu, mpate kufahamu ya kuwa mimi sioni hatia yo yote 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
Ndipo Yesu alipotoka nje, naye amevaa ile taji ya miiba, na lile vazi la zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, Tazama, mtu huyu!
When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6
Basi wale wakuu wa makuhani na watumishi wao walipomwona, walipiga kelele wakisema, Msulibishe! Msulibishe! Pilato akawaambia, Mtwaeni ninyi basi, mkamsulibishe; kwa maana mimi sioni hatia 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 kwa sheria hiyo amestahili kufa, 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
Basi Pilato aliposikia neno hilo, akazidi kuogopa.
When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
9
Akaingia tena ndani ya ile Praitorio, akamwambia Yesu, Wewe umetokapi? Lakini Yesu hakumpa jibu lo lote.
and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
10
Basi Pilato akamwambia, Husemi nami? Hujui ya kuwa mimi nina mamlaka ya kukufungua, nami nina mamlaka ya kukusulibisha?
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, Wewe hungekuwa na mamlaka yo yote juu yangu, kama usingepewa kutoka juu; kwa hiyo yeye aliyenitia mikononi mwako yuna dhambi iliyo 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
Na tangu hapo Pilato akatafuta kumfungua; lakini Wayahudi wakapiga makelele wakisema, Ukimfungua huyu, wewe si rafiki yake Kaisari; kila mtu ajifanyaye kuwa mfalme humfitini 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, au 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
Nayo ilikuwa Maandalio ya pasaka, yapata saa sita. Akawaambia Wayahudi, Tazama, 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
Basi wale wakapiga kelele, Mwondoshe! Mwondoshe! Msulibishe! Pilato akawaambia, Je! Nimsulibishe mfalme wenu! Wakuu wa makuhani wakamjibu, Sisi hatuna mfalme ila 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 ndipo alipomtia mikononi mwao ili asulibiwe; nao wakampokea Yesu.
Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
17
Akatoka, hali akijichukulia msalaba wake, mpaka mahali paitwapo Fuvu la Kichwa, au kwa Kiebrania, Golgotha.
Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
18
Wakamsulibisha huko, na wengine wawili pamoja naye, mmoja huku na mmoja huku, na Yesu katikati.
There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19
Naye Pilato akaandika anwani, akaiweka juu ya msalaba, imeandikwa, YESU MNAZARETI, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.
Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20
Basi anwani hiyo waliisoma wengi katika Wayahudi; maana mahali pale aliposulibiwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji; nayo iliandikwa kwa Kiebrania, na Kirumi, na Kiyunani.
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 wakuu wa makuhani na Wayahudi wakamwambia Pilato, Usiandike, Mfalme wa Wayahudi; bali ya kwamba yule 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 nimeyaandika.
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23
Nao askari walipomsulibisha Yesu, waliyatwaa mavazi yake, wakafanya mafungu manne, kwa kila askari fungu lake; na kanzu nayo. Basi kanzu ile haikushonwa, ilikuwa imefumwa yote pia tangu juu.
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 wakaambiana, Tusiipasue, lakini tuipigie kura, iwe ya nani. Ili litimie andiko lile linenalo, Waligawanya nguo zangu, Na vazi langu wakalipigia kura. Basi ndivyo walivyofanya wale 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
Na penye msalaba wake Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mamaye, na umbu la mamaye, Mariamu wa Klopa, na Mariamu Magdalene.
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26
Basi Yesu alipomwona mama yake, na yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda amesimama karibu, alimwambia mama yake, Mama, tazama, 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
Kisha akamwambia yule mwanafunzi, Tazama, mama yako. Na tangu saa ile mwanafunzi yule akamchukua nyumbani kwake.
Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
28
Baada ya hayo Yesu, hali akijua ya kuwa yote yamekwisha kumalizika ili andiko litimizwe, akasema, Naona kiu.
After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29
Kulikuwako huko chombo kimejaa siki; basi wakatia sifongo iliyojaa siki juu ya ufito wa hisopo, wakampelekea kinywani.
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
Basi Yesu alipokwisha kuipokea ile siki, alisema, Imekwisha. Akainama kichwa, akaisalimu roho yake.
When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
31
Basi Wayahudi, kwa sababu ni Maandalio, miili isikae juu ya misalaba siku ya sabato, (maana sabato ile ilikuwa siku kubwa), walimwomba Pilato miguu yao ivunjwe, wakaondolewe.
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 wakaenda, wakamvunja miguu wa kwanza, na wa pili, aliyesulibiwa pamoja naye.
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 walipomjia Yesu na kuona ya kuwa amekwisha kufa, hawakumvunja miguu;
But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34
lakini askari mmojawapo alimchoma ubavu 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 ameshuhudia, na ushuhuda wake ni kweli; naye anajua ya kuwa anasema kweli ili ninyi nanyi mpate kusadiki.
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
Kwa maana hayo yalitukia ili andiko litimie, Hapana mfupa wake utakaovunjwa.
Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
37
Na tena andiko lingine lanena, Watamtazama yeye waliyemchoma.
And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
38
Hata baada ya hayo Yusufu wa Arimathaya, naye ni mwanafunzi wa Yesu, (lakini kwa siri, kwa hofu ya Wayahudi), alimwomba Pilato ruhusa ili auondoe mwili wake Yesu. Na Pilato akampa ruhusa. Basi akaenda, akauondoa mwili wake.
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
Akaenda Nikodemo naye, (yule aliyemwendea usiku hapo kwanza), akaleta machanganyiko ya manemane na uudi, yapata ratli mia.
Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
40
Basi wakautwaa mwili wake Yesu, wakaufunga sanda ya kitani pamoja na yale manukato, kama ilivyo 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
Na pale pale aliposulibiwa palikuwa na bustani; na ndani ya bustani mna kaburi jipya, ambalo hajatiwa bado mtu ye yote 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
Humo basi, kwa sababu ya Maandalio ya Wayahudi, wakamweka Yesu; maana lile kaburi lilikuwa karibu.</p>
And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
