¹And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

¹Yesu alipomaliza kusema hayo yote, aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,

²`Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.`

²"Mnajua kwamba baada ya siku mbili tutakuwa na sikukuu ya Pasaka, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa ili asulubiwe."

³Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas;

³Wakati huo makuhani wakuu na wazee wa watu walikutana pamoja katika ukumbi wa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu.

⁴and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill [him],

⁴Wakashauriana jinsi ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.

⁵and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.`

⁵Lakini wakaamua jambo hilo lisifanyike wakati wa sikukuu, kusije kukatokea ghasia kati ya watu.

⁶And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁶Yesu alipokuwa Bethania, nyumbani kwa Simoni, aitwaye Mkoma,

⁷there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is reclining (at meat).

⁷mama mmoja aliyekuwa na chupa ya alabasta yenye marashi ya thamani kubwa, alimjia pale mezani alipokuwa amekaa kula chakula, akammiminia hayo marashi kichwani.

⁸And having seen [it], his disciples were much displeased, saying, `To what purpose [is] this waste?

⁸Wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakakasirika, wakasema, "Ya nini hasara hii?

⁹for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.`

⁹Marashi haya yangaliweza kuuzwa kwa bei kubwa, maskini wakapewa hizo fedha."

¹⁰And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;

¹⁰Yesu alitambua mawazo yao, akawaambia, "Mbona mnamsumbua huyu mama? Yeye amenitendea jambo jema.

¹¹for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not always;

¹¹Maskini mnao daima pamoja nanyi, lakini mimi sitakuwapo pamoja nanyi daima.

¹²for she having put this ointment on my body — for my burial she did [it].

¹²Huyu mama amenimiminia marashi ili kunitayarisha kwa maziko.

¹³Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this [one] did shall also be spoken of — for a memorial of her.`

¹³Nawaambieni kweli, popote ambapo hii Habari Njema itahubiriwa ulimwenguni, kitendo hiki alichofanya mama huyu kitatajwa kwa kumkumbuka yeye."

¹⁴Then one of the twelve, who is called Judas Iscariot, having gone unto the chief priests, said,

¹⁴Kisha, Yuda Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, akaenda kwa makuhani wakuu,

¹⁵`What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you?` and they weighed out to him thirty silverlings,

¹⁵akawaambia, "Mtanipa kitu gani kama nikimkabidhi Yesu kwenu?" Wakamhesabia sarafu thelathini za fedha;

¹⁶and from that time he was seeking a convenient season to deliver him up.

¹⁶na tangu wakati huo Yuda akawa anatafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti.

¹⁷And on the first [day] of the unleavened food came the disciples near to Jesus, saying to him, `Where wilt thou [that] we may prepare for thee to eat the passover?`

¹⁷Siku ya kwanza kabla ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, wanafunzi walimwendea Yesu wakamwuliza, "Unataka tukuandalie wapi chakula cha Pasaka?"

¹⁸and he said, `Go away to the city, unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is nigh; near thee I keep the passover, with my disciples;`

¹⁸Yeye akawajibu, "Nendeni mjini kwa mtu fulani, mkamwambie: Mwalimu anasema, wakati wangu umefika; kwako nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu."

¹⁹and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and prepared the passover.

¹⁹Wanafunzi wakafanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, wakaandaa Pasaka.

²⁰And evening having come, he was reclining (at meat) with the twelve,

²⁰Kulipokuwa jioni, Yesu akakaa mezani pamoja na wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.

²¹and while they are eating, he said, `Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.`

²¹Walipokuwa wakila, Yesu akasema, "Nawaambieni kweli, mmoja wenu atanisaliti."

²²And being grieved exceedingly, they began to say to him, each of them, `Is it I, Sir?`

²²Wanafunzi wakahuzunika sana, wakaanza kuuliza mmojammoja, "Bwana! Je, ni mimi?"

²³And he answering said, `He who did dip with me the hand in the dish, he will deliver me up;

²³Yesu akajibu, "Atakayechovya mkate pamoja nami katika bakuli ndiye atakayenisaliti.

²⁴the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.`

²⁴Naam, 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."

²⁵And Judas — he who delivered him up — answering said, `Is it I, Rabbi?` He saith to him, `Thou hast said.`

²⁵Yuda, ambaye ndiye aliyetaka kumsaliti, akamwuliza, "Mwalimu! Je, ni mimi?" Yesu akamjibu, "Wewe umesema."

²⁶And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, `Take, eat, this is my body;`

²⁶Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa wanafunzi wake akisema, "Twaeni mle; huu ni mwili wangu."

²⁷and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, `Drink ye of it — all;

²⁷Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akamshukuru Mungu, akawapa akisema, "Nyweni nyote;

²⁸for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out — to remission of sins;

²⁸maana hii ni damu yangu inayothibitisha agano, damu inayomwagwa kwa ajili ya watu wengi ili kuwaondolea dhambi.

²⁹and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you new in the reign of my Father.`

²⁹Nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapoinywa mpya pamoja nanyi katika Ufalme wa Baba yangu."

³⁰And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives;

³⁰Baada ya kuimba wimbo, wakaondoka, wakaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni.

³¹then saith Jesus to them, `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night; for it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad;

³¹Kisha Yesu akawaambia, "Usiku huu wa leo, ninyi nyote mtakuwa na mashaka nami, maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: Nitampiga mchungaji, na kondoo wa kundi watatawanyika.

³²but, after my having risen, I will go before you to Galilee.`

³²Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulieni Galilaya."

³³And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.`

³³Petro akamwambia Yesu "Hata kama wote watakuwa na mashaka nawe na kukuacha, mimi sitakuacha kamwe."

³⁴Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.`

³⁴Yesu akamwambia, "Kweli nakwambia, usiku huu kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu."

³⁵Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;` in like manner also said all the disciples.

³⁵Petro akamwambia, "Hata kama ni lazima nife pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe." Wale wanafunzi wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.

³⁶Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to the disciples, `Sit ye here, till having gone away, I shall pray yonder.`

³⁶Kisha Yesu akaenda pamoja nao bustanini Gethsemane, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Kaeni hapa nami niende pale mbele kusali."

³⁷And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy;

³⁷Akawachukua Petro na wana wawili wa Zebedayo, akaanza kuwa na huzuni na mahangaiko.

³⁸then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul — unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.`

³⁸Hapo akawaambia, "Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe pamoja nami."

³⁹And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, `My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.`

³⁹Basi, akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akasali: "Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, aacha kikombe hiki cha mateso kinipite; lakini isiwe nitakavyo mimi, ila utakavyo wewe."

⁴⁰And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, `So! ye were not able one hour to watch with me!

⁴⁰Akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, "Ndiyo kusema hamkuweza kukesha pamoja nami hata saa moja?

⁴¹watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.`

⁴¹Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho i tayari lakini mwili ni dhaifu."

⁴²Again, a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, `My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, Thy will be done;`

⁴²Akaenda tena mara ya pili akasali: "Baba yangu, kama haiwezekani kikombe hiki kinipite bila mimi kukinywa, basi, mapenzi yako yafanyike."

⁴³and having come, he findeth them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴³Akawaendea tena, akawakuta wamelala, maana macho yao yalikuwa yamebanwa na usingizi.

⁴⁴And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed a third time, saying the same word;

⁴⁴Basi, akawaacha, akaenda tena kusali mara ya tatu kwa maneno yaleyale.

⁴⁵then cometh he unto his disciples, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest! lo, the hour hath come nigh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners.

⁴⁵Kisha akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawaambia, "Je, mngali mmelala na kupumzika? Tazameni! Saa yenyewe imefika, na Mwana wa Mtu atatolewa kwa watu wenye dhambi.

⁴⁶Rise, let us go; lo, he hath come nigh who is delivering me up.`

⁴⁶Amkeni, twendeni zetu. Tazameni! Anakuja yule atakayenisaliti."

⁴⁷And while he is yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve did come, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁷Basi, 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.

⁴⁸And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign, saying, `Whomsoever I will kiss, it is he: lay hold on him;`

⁴⁸Huyo aliyetaka kumsaliti Yesu, alikuwa amekwisha wapa ishara akisema: "Yule nitakayembusu ndiye; mkamateni."

⁴⁹and immediately, having come to Jesus, he said, `Hail, Rabbi,` and kissed him;

⁴⁹Basi, Yuda akamkaribia Yesu, akamwambia, "Shikamoo, Mwalimu!" Kisha akambusu.

⁵⁰and Jesus said to him, `Comrade, for what art thou present?` Then having come near, they laid hands on Jesus, and took hold on him.

⁵⁰Yesu akamwambia, "Rafiki, fanya ulichokuja kufanya." Hapo wale watu wakaja, wakamkamata Yesu, wakamtia nguvuni.

⁵¹And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear.

⁵¹Mmoja wa wale waliokuwa pamoja na Yesu akanyosha mkono, akauchomoa upanga wake, akampiga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio.

⁵²Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish;

⁵²Hapo Yesu akamwambia, "Rudisha upanga wako alani, maana yeyote anayeutumia upanga, atakufa kwa upanga.

⁵³dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

⁵³Je, hamjui kwamba ningeweza kumwomba Baba yangu naye mara angeniletea zaidi ya majeshi kumi na mawili ya malaika?

⁵⁴how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it behoveth to happen?`

⁵⁴Lakini yatatimiaje Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo kwamba ndivyo inavyopaswa kuwa?"

⁵⁵In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, `As against a robber ye did come forth, with swords and sticks, to take me! daily with you I was sitting teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold on me;

⁵⁵Wakati 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!

⁵⁶but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;` then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

⁵⁶Lakini haya yote yametendeka ili Maandiko ya manabii yatimie." Kisha wanafunzi wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.

⁵⁷And those laying hold on Jesus led [him] away unto Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together,

⁵⁷Basi, hao watu waliomkamata Yesu walimpeleka nyumbani kwa Kayafa, Kuhani Mkuu, walikokusanyika walimu wa Sheria na wazee.

⁵⁸and Peter was following him afar off, unto the court of the chief priest, and having gone in within, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

⁵⁸Petro alimfuata kwa mbali mpaka uani kwa Kuhani Mkuu, akaingia ndani pamoja na walinzi ili apate kuona mambo yatakavyokuwa.

⁵⁹And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

⁵⁹Basi, makuhani wakuu na Baraza lote wakatafuta ushahidi wa uongo dhidi ya Yesu wapate kumwua,

⁶⁰and they did not find; and many false witnesses having come near, they did not find; and at last two false witnesses having come near,

⁶⁰lakini hawakupata ushahidi wowote, ingawa walikuja mashahidi wengi wa uongo. Mwishowe wakaja mashahidi wawili,

⁶¹said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.`

⁶¹wakasema, "Mtu huyu alisema: Ninaweza kuliharibu Hekalu la Mungu na kulijenga tena kwa siku tatu."

⁶²And the chief priest having stood up, said to him, `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee?

⁶²Kuhani Mkuu akasimama, akamwuliza Yesu, "Je, hujibu neno? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?"

⁶³and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ — the Son of God.`

⁶³Lakini Yesu akakaa kimya. Kuhani Mkuu akamwambia, "Nakuapisha kwa Mungu aliye hai, twambie kama wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu!"

⁶⁴Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.`

⁶⁴Yesu akamwambia, "Wewe umesema! Lakini nawaambieni, tangu sasa mtamwona Mwana wa Mtu ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mwenyezi, akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni."

⁶⁵Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, — `He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

⁶⁵Hapo, Kuhani Mkuu akararua mavazi yake, akasema, "Amekufuru! Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi? Sasa mmesikia kufuru yake.

⁶⁶what think ye?` and they answering said, `He is worthy of death.`

⁶⁶Ninyi mwaonaje?" Wao wakamjibu, "Anastahili kufa!"

⁶⁷Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap,

⁶⁷Kisha wakamtemea mate usoni, wakampiga makofi. Wengine wakiwa wanampiga makofi,

⁶⁸saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?`

⁶⁸wakasema, "Haya Kristo, tutabirie; ni nani amekupiga!"

⁶⁹And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!`

⁶⁹Petro alikuwa ameketi nje uani. Basi, mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamwendea, akasema, "Wewe ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Galilaya."

⁷⁰And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.`

⁷⁰Petro akakana mbele ya wote akisema, "Sijui hata unasema nini."

⁷¹And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;`

⁷¹Alipokuwa akitoka mlangoni, mtumishi mwingine wa kike akamwona, akawaambia wale waliokuwa pale, "Mtu huyu alikuwa pamoja na Yesu wa Nazareti."

⁷²and again did he deny with an oath — `I have not known the man.`

⁷²Petro akakana tena kwa kiapo: "Simjui mtu huyo."

⁷³And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.`

⁷³Baadaye kidogo, watu waliokuwa pale wakamwendea Petro, wakamwambia, "Hakika, wewe pia ni mmoja wao, maana msemo wako unakutambulisha."

⁷⁴Then began he to anathematise, and to swear — `I have not known the man;` and immediately did a cock crow,

⁷⁴Hapo Petro akaanza kujilaani na kuapa akisema, "Simjui mtu huyo!" Mara jogoo akawika.

⁷⁵and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him — `Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;` and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

⁷⁵Petro akakumbuka maneno aliyoambiwa na Yesu: "Kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu." Basi, akatoka nje akalia sana.
