¹Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

¹Basi, Pilato akaamuru Yesu achukuliwe, apigwe viboko.

²And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

²Nao askari wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamtia kichwani, wakamvika na joho la rangi ya zambarau.

³And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

³Wakawa wanakuja mbele yake na kusema: "Shikamoo, Mfalme wa Wayahudi!" Wakampiga makofi.

⁴Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

⁴Pilato akatoka tena nje, akawaambia, "Tazameni, namleta nje kwenu, mpate kujua kwamba mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake."

⁵Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

⁵Basi, Yesu akatoka nje amevaa taji ya miiba na joho la rangi ya zambarau. Pilato akawaambia, "Tazameni! Mtu mwenyewe ni huyo."

⁶When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

⁶Makuhani wakuu na walinzi walipomwona wakapaaza sauti: "Msulubishe! Msulubishe!" Pilato akawaambia, "Mchukueni basi, ninyi wenyewe mkamsulubishe, kwa maana mimi sikuona hatia yoyote kwake."

⁷The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

⁷Wayahudi wakamjibu, "Sisi tunayo Sheria, na kufuatana na Sheria hiyo, ni lazima afe, kwa sababu alijifanya kuwa Mwana wa Mungu."

⁸When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

⁸Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akazidi kuogopa.

⁹And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

⁹Basi, akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwuliza Yesu, "Umetoka wapi wewe?" Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno.

¹⁰Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

¹⁰Hivyo Pilato akamwambia, "Husemi nami? Je, hujui kwamba ninayo mamlaka ya kukufungua na mamlaka ya kukusulubisha?"

¹¹Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

¹¹Yesu akamjibu, "Hungekuwa na mamlaka yoyote juu yangu kama hungepewa na Mungu. Kwa sababu hiyo, yule aliyenikabidhi kwako ana dhambi kubwa zaidi."

¹²And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

¹²Tangu hapo, Pilato akawa anatafuta njia ya kumwachilia, lakini Wayahudi wakapiga kelele: "Ukimwachilia huyu mtu, wewe si rafiki yake Kaisari; kila mtu anayejifanya kuwa Mfalme humpinga Kaisari!"

¹³When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

¹³Basi, Pilato aliposikia maneno hayo akamleta Yesu nje, akaketi juu ya kiti cha hukumu, mahali paitwapo: "Sakafu ya Mawe" (kwa Kiebrania, Gabatha).

¹⁴And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

¹⁴Ilikuwa yapata saa sita mchana, siku ya maandalio ya Pasaka. Pilato akawaambia Wayahudi, "Tazameni, Mfalme wenu!"

¹⁵But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵Wao wakapaaza sauti: "Mwondoe! Mwondoe! Msulubishe!" Makuhani wakuu wakajibu, "Sisi hatuna Mfalme isipokuwa Kaisari!"

¹⁶Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

¹⁶Basi, hapo Pilato akamtia Yesu mikononi mwao ili asulubiwe. Basi, wakamchukua Yesu.

¹⁷And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

¹⁷Naye akatoka akiwa amejichukulia msalaba wake kwenda mahali paitwapo "Fuvu la Kichwa", (kwa Kiebrania Golgotha).

¹⁸Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁸Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha, na pamoja naye waliwasulubisha watu wengine wawili; mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine upande wake wa kushoto, naye Yesu katikati.

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹Pilato aliandika ilani akaiweka juu ya msalaba. Nayo ilikuwa imeandikwa hivi: "Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi."

²⁰This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

²⁰Wayahudi wengi waliisoma ilani hiyo, maana mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji. Tena ilani hiyo ilikuwa imeandikwa kwa Kiebrania, Kilatini, na Kigiriki.

²¹Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²¹Basi, makuhani wakuu wakamwambia Pilato, "Usiandike: Mfalme wa Wayahudi, ila Yeye alisema, Mimi ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi."

²²Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²²Pilato akajibu, "Niliyoandika, nimeandika!"

²³Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²³Askari walipokwisha msulubisha Yesu, walizichukua nguo zake, wakazigawa mafungu manne, fungu moja kwa kila askari. Walichukua pia na kanzu yake; kanzu hiyo ilikuwa imefumwa kwa kipande kimoja tu, bila mshono.

²⁴They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

²⁴Basi, hao askari wakashauriana: "Tusiipasue, ila tuipigie kura itakuwa ya nani." Jambo hilo lilifanyika ili yatimie Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo: "Waligawana mavazi yangu, na nguo yangu wakaipigia kura." Basi, ndivyo walivyofanya hao askari.

²⁵Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁵Karibu na msalaba wake Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada ya mama yake, Maria mke wa Kleopa, na Maria Magdalene.

²⁶When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

²⁶Yesu alipomwona mama yake, na karibu naye amesimama yule mwanafunzi aliyempenda, akamwambia mama yake: "Mama! Tazama, huyo ndiye mwanao."

²⁷Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁷Halafu akamwambia yule mwanafunzi: "Tazama, huyo ndiye mama yako." Na tangu saa ile huyo mwanafunzi alimchukua akae nyumbani kwake.

²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

²⁸Yesu alijua kwamba yote yalikuwa yametimia; na, ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia, akasema, "Naona kiu."

²⁹Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

²⁹Hapo palikuwa na bakuli limejaa siki. Basi, wakachovya sifongo katika hiyo siki, wakaitia juu ya ufito wa husopo, wakamwekea mdomoni.

³⁰When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³⁰Yesu alipokwisha pokea hiyo siki, akasema, "Yametimia!" Kisha akainama kichwa, akatoa roho.

³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³¹Ilikuwa Ijumaa, siku ya Maandalio. Kwa hiyo, kusudi miili isikae msalabani siku ya Sabato, maana siku hiyo ya Sabato ilikuwa siku kubwa, Wayahudi walimwomba Pilato miguu ya hao waliosulubiwa ivunjwe na miili yao iondolewe.

³²Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

³²Basi, askari walikwenda, wakaivunja miguu ya yule mtu wa kwanza na yule wa pili ambao walikuwa wamesulubiwa pamoja na Yesu.

³³But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³³Lakini walipomfikia Yesu waliona kwamba alikwisha kufa, na hivyo hawakumvunja miguu.

³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

³⁴Lakini askari mmoja alimtoboa ubavuni kwa mkuki, na mara ikatoka damu na maji.

³⁵And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

³⁵(Naye aliyeona tukio hilo ametoa habari zake ili nanyi mpate kuamini. Na hayo aliyosema ni ukweli, tena yeye anajua kwamba anasema ukweli.)

³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

³⁶Jambo hilo lilitendwa ili Maandiko Matakatifu yatimie: "Hapana hata mfupa wake mmoja utakaovunjwa."

³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁷Tena Maandiko mengine yanasema: "Watamtazama yule waliyemtoboa."

³⁸And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

³⁸Baada ya hayo, Yosefu, mwenyeji wa Armathaya, alimwomba Pilato ruhusa ya kuuchukua mwili wa Yesu. (Yosefu alikuwa mfuasi wa Yesu, lakini kwa siri, maana aliwaogopa viongozi wa Wayahudi). Basi, Pilato akamruhusu. Hivyo Yosefu alikwenda, akauondoa mwili wa Yesu.

³⁹And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

³⁹Naye Nikodemo ambaye hapo awali alikuwa amemwendea Yesu usiku, akaja akiwa amechukua mchanganyiko wa manemane na ubani kiasi cha kilo thelathini.

⁴⁰Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

⁴⁰Basi, waliutwaa mwili wa Yesu, wakaufunga sanda pamoja na manukato kufuatana na desturi ya Wayahudi katika kuzika.

⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

⁴¹Mahali hapo aliposulubiwa Yesu palikuwa na bustani, na katika bustani hiyo kulikuwa na kaburi jipya ambalo hakutiwa bado mtu yeyote ndani yake.

⁴²There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

⁴²Basi, kwa sababu ya shughuli za Wayahudi za maandalio ya Sabato, na kwa vile kaburi hilo lilikuwa karibu, wakamweka Yesu humo.
