¹And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered [him] to Pilate;

¹Kulipopambazuka, makuhani wakuu walifanya shauri pamoja na wazee, walimu wa Sheria na Baraza lote, wakamfunga Yesu pingu, wakampeleka na kumkabidhi kwa Pilato.

²and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?` and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say [it].`

²Pilato akamwuliza Yesu, "Je, wewe ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?" Yesu akajibu, "Wewe umesema."

³And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, [but he answered nothing.]

³Makuhani wakuu wakamshtaki Yesu mambo mengi.

⁴And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!`

⁴Pilato akamwuliza tena Yesu, "Je, hujibu neno? Tazama wanavyotoa mashtaka mengi juu yako."

⁵and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

⁵Lakini Yesu hakujibu neno, hata pilato akashangaa.

⁶And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

⁶Kila wakati wa sikukuu ya Pasaka, Pilato alikuwa na desturi ya kuwafungulia mfungwa mmoja waliyemtaka.

⁷and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

⁷Basi, kulikuwa na mtu mmoja aitwaye Baraba, ambaye alikuwa amefungwa pamoja na waasi wengine kwa kusababisha uasi na mauaji.

⁸And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

⁸Watu wengi wakamwendea Pilato wakamwomba awafanyie kama kawaida yake.

⁹and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?`

⁹Pilato akawauliza, "Je, mwataka niwafungulieni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?"

¹⁰for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

¹⁰Alisema hivyo kwa sababu alijua wazi kwamba makuhani wakuu walimkabidhi Yesu kwake kwa sababu ya wivu.

¹¹and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

¹¹Lakini makuhani wakuu wakawachochea watu wamwombe Pilato awafungulie Baraba.

¹²And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?`

¹²Pilato akawauliza tena, "Basi, sasa mwataka nifanye nini na mtu huyu mnayemwita Mfalme wa Wayahudi?"

¹³and they again cried out, `Crucify him.`

¹³Watu wote wakapaaza sauti tena: "Msulubishe!"

¹⁴And Pilate said to them, `Why — what evil did he?` and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;`

¹⁴Lakini Pilato akawauliza, "Kwa nini! Amefanya kosa gani?" Lakini wao wakazidi kupaaza sauti, "Msulubishe!"

¹⁵and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus — having scourged [him] — that he might be crucified.

¹⁵Pilato alitaka kuuridhisha huo umati wa watu; basi, akamwachilia Baraba kutoka gerezani. Akaamuru Yesu apigwe viboko, kisha akamtoa asulubiwe.

¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

¹⁶Kisha askari walimpeleka Yesu ndani ukumbini, katika ikulu, wakakusanya kikosi kizima cha askari.

¹⁷and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put [it] on him,

¹⁷Wakamvika vazi la rangi ya zambarau, wakasokota taji ya miiba, wakamwekea kichwani.

¹⁸and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.`

¹⁸Wakaanza kumsalimu, "Shikamoo Mfalme wa Wayahudi!"

¹⁹And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

¹⁹Wakampiga kichwani kwa mwanzi, wakamtemea mate; wakampigia magoti na kumsujudia.

²⁰and when they [had] mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

²⁰Baada ya kumdhihaki, walimvua lile joho, wakamvika nguo zake, kisha wakampeleka kumsulubisha.

²¹And they impress a certain one passing by — Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus — that he may bear his cross,

²¹Walipokuwa njiani, walikutana na mtu mmoja aitwaye Simoni, mwenyeji wa Kurene. Yeye alikuwa baba wa Aleksanda na Rufo, na wakati huo alikuwa akitoka shambani. Basi, wakamlazimisha auchukue msalaba wa Yesu.

²²and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;`

²²Kisha wakampeleka Yesu mpaka mahali palipoitwa Golgotha, maana yake, "Mahali pa Fuvu la Kichwa."

²³and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

²³Wakampa divai iliyochanganywa na manemane, lakini yeye akaikataa.

²⁴And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

²⁴Basi, wakamsulubisha, wakagawana mavazi yake kwa kuyapigia kura waamue nani angepata nini.

²⁵and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

²⁵Ilikuwa saa tatu asubuhi walipomsulubisha.

²⁶and the inscription of his accusation was written above — `The King of the Jews.`

²⁶Na mshtaka wake ulikuwa umeandikwa: "Mfalme wa Wayahudi."

²⁷And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

²⁷Pamoja naye waliwasulubisha wanyang'anyi wawili, mmoja upande wake wa kulia na mwingine upande wake wa kushoto.

²⁸and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.`

²⁸Hapo yakatimia Maandiko Matakatifu yanayosema, "Aliwekwa kundi moja na waovu."

²⁹And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

²⁹Watu waliokuwa wanapita mahali hapo walimtukana, wakitikisa vichwa vyao na kusema, "Aha! Wewe mwenye kuvunja Hekalu na kulijenga kwa siku tatu!

³⁰save thyself, and come down from the cross!`

³⁰Sasa, shuka msalabani ujiokoe mwenyewe!"

³¹And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

³¹Nao makuhani wakuu pamoja na walimu wa Sheria walimdhihaki wakisema, "Aliwaokoa wengine, lakini kujiokoa mwenyewe hawezi!

³²The Christ! the king of Israel — let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;` and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

³²Eti yeye ni Kristo, Mfalme wa Israeli! Basi, na ashuke msalabani ili tuone na kuamini." Hata watu wale waliosulubiwa pamoja naye walimtukana.

³³And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

³³Tangu saa sita mchana mpaka saa tisa kulikuwa giza nchini kote.

³⁴and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?` which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?`

³⁴Saa tisa alasiri Yesu akalia kwa sauti kubwa, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabakthani?" Maana yake, "Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?"

³⁵And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;`

³⁵Baadhi ya watu waliosimama pale waliposikia hivyo, walisema, "Sikiliza! Anamwita Eliya!"

³⁶and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.`

³⁶Mtu mmoja akakimbia, akachovya sifongo katika siki, akaiweka juu ya mwanzi, akampa anywe akisema, "Hebu tuone kama Eliya atakuja kumteremsha msalabani!"

³⁷And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

³⁷Yesu akapaaza sauti kubwa, akakata roho.

³⁸and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

³⁸Basi, pazia la Hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili toka juu mpaka chini.

³⁹and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.`

³⁹Jemadari mmoja aliyekuwa amesimama mbele yake aliona jinsi Yesu alivyolia kwa sauti na kukata roho, akasema, "Kweli mtu huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu!"

⁴⁰And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

⁴⁰Walikuwako pia wanawake waliotazama kwa mbali, miongoni mwao akiwa Maria toka mji wa Magdala, Salome, na Maria mama wa kina Yakobo mdogo na Yose.

⁴¹(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴¹Hawa walimfuata Yesu alipokuwa Galilaya na kumtumikia. Kulikuwa na wanawake wengine wengi waliokuja Yerusalemu pamoja naye.

⁴²And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

⁴²Wakati wa jioni ulikuwa umekwisha fika. Hiyo ilikuwa siku ya Maandalio, yaani siku inayotangulia Sabato.

⁴³Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.

⁴³Hapo akaja Yosefu mwenyeji wa Armathaya, mjumbe wa Baraza Kuu, aliyeheshimika sana. Yeye pia alikuwa anatazamia kuja kwa Ufalme wa Mungu. Basi, alimwendea Pilato bila uoga, akaomba apewe mwili wa Yesu.

⁴⁴And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

⁴⁴Pilato alishangaa kusikia kwamba Yesu alikuwa amekwisha kufa. Basi, akamwita jemadari, akamwuliza kama Yesu alikuwa amekufa kitambo.

⁴⁵and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁵Pilato alipoarifiwa na huyo jemadari kwamba Yesu alikuwa amekwisha kufa, akamruhusu Yosefu auchukue mwili wake.

⁴⁶And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

⁴⁶Hapo Yosefu akanunua sanda ya kitani, akauteremsha chini huo mwili, akauzungushia sanda. Akauweka katika kaburi lililokuwa limechongwa mwambani, kisha akavingirisha jiwe kubwa mbele ya mlango.

⁴⁷and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.

⁴⁷Nao Maria Magdalene na Maria mama yake Yose walipaona hapo alipolazwa.
