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

¹Yesu alipomaliza kusema hayo yote, aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,

²Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, 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 the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

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

⁴and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;

⁴Wakashauriana jinsi ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.

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

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

⁶But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,

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

⁷a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.

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

⁸But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end [was] this waste?

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

⁹for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.

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

¹⁰But Jesus knowing [it] said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.

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

¹¹For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.

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

¹²For in pouring out this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burying.

¹²Huyu mama amenimiminia marashi ili kunitayarisha kwa maziko.

¹³Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this [woman] has done shall 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, he who was called Judas Iscariote, went to the chief priests

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

¹⁵and said, What are ye willing to give me, and *I* will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

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

¹⁶And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.

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

¹⁷Now on the first [day] of [the feast of] unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we 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 into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house 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 had directed them, and they prepared the passover.

¹⁹Wanafunzi wakafanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, wakaandaa Pasaka.

²⁰And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve.

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

²¹And as they were 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 exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it *I*, Lord?

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

²³But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, *he* it is who shall deliver me up.

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

²⁴The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he 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, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it *I*, Rabbi? He says to him, *Thou* hast said.

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

²⁶And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken [the] bread and blessed, broke [it] and gave [it] 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 given thanks, he gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it.

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

²⁸For this is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins.

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

²⁹But I say to you, that I will not at all drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom 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 out to the mount of Olives.

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

³¹Then saith Jesus to them, All *ye* shall be offended in me during this night. For it is 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 that I shall be risen, I will go before you to Galilee.

³²Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulieni Galilaya."

³³And Peter answering said to him, If all shall be offended in thee, *I* will never be offended.

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 during this night, before [the] cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

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

³⁵Peter says to him, If I should needs die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. Likewise said all the disciples also.

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

³⁶Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here until I go away and pray yonder.

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

³⁷And taking with [him] Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and deeply depressed.

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

³⁸Then he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful even unto death; remain here and watch with me.

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

³⁹And going forward a little he fell upon his face, praying and saying, My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as *I* will, but as *thou* [wilt].

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 comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?

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

⁴¹Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] ready, but the flesh weak.

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

⁴²Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass [from me] unless 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 coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

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

⁴⁴And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

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

⁴⁵Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into 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.

⁴⁶Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

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

⁴⁷And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd 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.

⁴⁸Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.

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

⁴⁹And immediately coming up to Jesus he said, Hail, Rabbi, and covered him with kisses.

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

⁵⁰But Jesus said to him, [My] friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.

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

⁵¹And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest 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, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.

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

⁵³Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

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

⁵⁴How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

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

⁵⁵In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily [with you] teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize 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 is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.

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

⁵⁷Now they that had seized Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

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

⁵⁸And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat 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 the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

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

⁶⁰And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward

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

⁶¹and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.

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

⁶²And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

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

⁶³But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell 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 says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of 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 high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.

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 liable to the penalty of death.

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

⁶⁷Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,

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

⁶⁸saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?

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

⁶⁹But Peter sat without in the palace-court; and a maid came to him, saying, And *thou* wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

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

⁷⁰But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what thou sayest.

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

⁷¹And when he had gone out into the entrance, another [maid] saw him, and says to those there, This [man] also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.

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

⁷²And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.

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

⁷³And after a little, those who stood [there], coming to [him], said to Peter, Truly *thou* too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.

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

⁷⁴Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately [the] cock crew.

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

⁷⁵And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said [to him], Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly.

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