¹Yesu alipomaliza kusema hayo yote, aliwaambia wanafunzi wake,

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

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

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

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

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;

⁴Wakashauriana jinsi ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹²Huyu mama amenimiminia marashi ili kunitayarisha kwa maziko.

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

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

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.`

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?`

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

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;`

¹⁹Wanafunzi wakafanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, wakaandaa Pasaka.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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."

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.`

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

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

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

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;`

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

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

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

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

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

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.`

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

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

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

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;

³²Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulieni Galilaya."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.`

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

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

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

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

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

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.`

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

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!

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

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

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

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;`

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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!

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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.`

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

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.`

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!`

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

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

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

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;`

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

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

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

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.`

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

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

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

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.
