Yohana 19
1 Basi Pilato alimchukua Yesu na kumchapa.
So Pilate then took Yeshua and flogged him.
2 Wale maaskari wakasokota miiba na kutengeneza taji. Wakaiweka juu ya kichwa cha Yesu na kumvalisha vazi la rangi ya zambarau.
The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
3 Wakamjia na kusema, “Wewe mfalme wa Wayahudi! na kisha kumpiga kwa mikono yao.
They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
4 Kisha Pilato alitoka nje na kuwaambia watu, “Tazama nawaleteeni huyu mtu kwenu ili mjue kwamba mimi sikuona hatia yoyote ndani yake.”
Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
5 Kwa hiyo Yesu akatoka nje; alikuwa amevaa taji ya miiba na vazi la zambarau. Ndipo Pilato akawaambia, “Tazameni mtu huyu hapa!”
Yeshua therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
6 Kwa hiyo wakati kuhani mkuu na wakuu walipomwona Yesu, wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Msulubishe, msulubishe.” Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi wenyewe mkamsulubishe, kwa kuwa mimi sioni hatia ndani yake.”
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
7 Wayahudi wakamjibu Pilato, “Sisi tunayo sheria, na kwa sheria hiyo inampasa kufa kwa sababu yeye alijifanya kuwa mwana wa Mungu.”
The Judeans answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
8 Pilato aliposikia maneno haya alizidi kuogopa,
When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
9 akaingia Praitorio tena na kumwambia Yesu, “Wewe unatoka wapi? Hata hivyo, Yesu hakumjibu.
He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Yeshua, “Where are you from?” But Yeshua gave him no answer.
10 Kisha Pilato akamwambia, “Je, wewe huongei na mimi? Je, wewe hujui kuwa mimi nina mamlaka ya kukufungua na mamlakaya kukusulubisha?”
Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”
11 Yesu akamjibu, “Usingekuwa na nguvu dhidi yangu kama usingepewa toka juu. Kwa hiyo, mtu aliyenitoa kwako ana dhambi kubwa.”
Yeshua answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”
12 Kutokana na jibu hili, Pilato akataka kumwacha huru, lakini Wayahudi wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Kama utamwacha huru basi wewe si rafiki wa Kaisari: Kila ajifanyaye kuwa mfalme hunena kinyume cah kaisari.”
At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Judeans cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”
13 Pilato alipoyasikia maneno haya, akamleta Yesu nje kisha akakaa kwenye kiti cha hukumu mahali pale panapojulikana kama sakafu, lakini kwa Kiebrania, Gabatha.
When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Yeshua out and sat down on the judgement seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
14 Siku ya maandalizi ya pasaka ilipofika, panapo muda wa saa ya sita. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, “Tazameni mfalme wenu huyu hapa!”
Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Judeans, “Behold, your King!”
15 Wakapiga kelele, “Mwondoshe, mwondoshe, msulubishe!” Pilato akawaambia, “Je, nimsulubishe mfalme wenu?” Naye Kuhani mkuu akajibu, “Sisi hatuna mfalme isipokuwa Kaisari.”
They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16 Ndipo Pilato alipomtoa Yesu kwao ili asulibiwe.
So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Yeshua and led him away.
17 Nao wakamchukua Yesu, naye akatoka, hali ameubeba msalaba wake mwenyewe mpaka kwenye eneo liitwalo fuvu la kichwa, kwa Kihebrania huitwa Golgotha.
He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
18 Ndipo walipomsulibisha Yesu, pamoja naye wanaume wawili, mmoja upende huu na mwingine upande huu, na Yesu katikati yao.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Yeshua in the middle.
19 Kisha Pilato akaandika alama na kuiwekwa juu ya msalaba. Hapo paliandikwa: YESU MNAZARETH, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.
Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “YESHUA OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
20 Wengi wa Wayahudi waliisoma alama hiyo kwani mahali pale aliposulibishwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji. Alama hiyo iliadikwa kwa Kiebrania, kwa Kirumi na kwa Kiyunani.
Therefore many of the Judeans read this title, for the place where Yeshua was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
21 Kisha wakuu wa makuhani wa Wayahudi wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike, 'Mfalme wa Wayahudi; bali yeye alisema mimi ni mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
The chief priests of the Judeans therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”
22 Naye Pilato akawajibu, “Niliyoandika nimeandika.”
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Baada ya askari kumsulibisha Yesu, walichukua mavazi yake na kuyagawa katika mafungu manne, kila askari fungu moja, vivyo hivyo na kanzo, Sasa ile kanzu haikuwa imeshonwa bali ilkuwa imefumwa yote tokea juu.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Yeshua, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 Kisha wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Tusiipasue, bali tupigeni kura ili kuona itakuwa ya nani.” Hili lilitokea ili lile andiko litimizwe, lile lisemalo waligawanya nguo zangu, na vazi langu wakalipigia kura.”
Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments amongst them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 Askari walifanya mambo haya. Mama yake Yesu, dada wa mama yake, Mariamu mke wa Kleopa na Mariamu Magdalena - wanawake hawa walikuwa wamesimama karibu na msalaba wa Yesu.
But standing by Yeshua’s cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Miriam the wife of Klofah, and Miriam Magdalene.
26 Yesu alipomwona mama yake pamoja na yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda wakisimama karibu, akamwambia mama yake, “Mwanamke, tazama, ona mwanao huyu hapa!”
Therefore when Yeshua saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
27 Kisha akamwambia yule mwanfunzi, “Tazama, huyu hapa mama yako. “Tokea saa hiyo yule mwanafunzi akamchukua kwenda nyumbani kwake.
Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
28 Baada ya hilo, Hali Yesu akijua kuwa yote yamekwisha kumalizika ili kutimiza maandiko, akasema, “Naona kiu.”
After this, Yeshua, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
29 Chombo kilichokuwa kimejaa Siki kilikuwa kimewekwa pale, kwa hiyo wakaweka sifongo iliyojaa siki juu ya ufito wa hisopo, wakamwekea mdomoni mwake.
Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
30 Naye Yesu alipoionja hiyo, akasema, “Imekwisha.” Kisha akainamisha kichwa chake, akaikabidhi roho yake.
When Yeshua therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Kwa vile ilikuwa ni wakati wa maandalio, na kwa sababu miili haikutakiwa kubaki juu ya msalaba wakati wa Sabato (kwa kuwa Sabato ilikuwa siku ya muhimu), wayahudi walimwomba Pilato kuwa miguu yao wale wliokuwa wamesulibishwa ivunjwe, na kwamba miili yao ishushwe.
Therefore the Judeans, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
32 Ndipo askari walipokuja na kuvunja miguu ya mtu wa kwanza na wa pili aliyekuwa amesulibiwa pamoja na Yesu.
Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
33 Walipomfikia Yesu, walimkuta tayari alikuwa amekwisha kufa, kwa hiyo hawakuvunja miguu yake.
but when they came to Yeshua and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
34 Hata hivyo, mmoja wa askari alimchoma Yesu ubavuni kwa mkuki, na mara yakatoka maji na damu.
However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 Naye aliyeona hili ametoa ushuhuda, na ushuhuda wake ni wa kweli. Yeye anajua kuwa alichokisema ni cha kweli ili nanyi pia muamini.
He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
36 Mambo haya yalikuwa ili lile neno lililonenwa lipate kutimia, “Hakuna hata wake mmoja utakaovunjwa.”
For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
37 Tena andiko lingine husema, “Watamtazama yeye waliyemchoma”
Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
38 Baada ya mambo haya Yusufu wa Arimathaya, kwa vile alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Yesu, lakini kwa siri kwa kuwaogopa Wayahudi, alimwomba Pilato kwamba auchukue mwili wa Yesu. Naye Pilato akampa ruhusa. Kwa hiyo Yusufu akaja kuuondoa mwili wa Yesu.
After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Yeshua, but secretly for fear of the Judeans, asked of Pilate that he might take away Yeshua’s body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
39 Naye Nicodemo ambaye hapo awali alimfuata Yesu usiku naye akaja. Yeye alileta mchanganyiko wa manemane na udi, yapata uzito wa ratili mia moja.
Nicodemus, who at first came to Yeshua by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
40 Kwa hiyo wakauchukua mwili wa Yesu wakaufanga kwenye sanda ya kitani na pamoja na yale manukato, kama ilivyokuwa desturi ya wayahudi wakati wa kuzika.
So they took Yeshua’s body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Judeans is to bury.
41 Mahali ambapo Yesu alisulibiwa kulikuwa na bustani; ndani ya ile bustani kulikuwa na kaburi jipya ambalo hakuna mtu alikuwa amawahi kuzikwa humo.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
42 Basi, kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya maandalio kwa Wayahudi, na kwa vile lile kaburi lilikuwa karibu, basi wakamlaza Yesu ndani yake.
Then, because of the Judeans’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Yeshua there.
