Matthew 27 (BOU)

1Kwekuchaho wagookezi wa Waviki wose na waongoezi wa Wayahudi wakakintana vituhu ili wagosoe nteganyi wadahe kumkoma Yesu.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Wakamzengeteza phingu na kumwegaa kwa Pilato, mwekuwa mgookezi wa Kilumi.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Yuda Isikaliote mwekumhituka Yesu, ekuonaho Yesu kabindakae kuamuiwa, akamema usungu na akawavuzia wagookezi wa waviki wakuu zia ntii za makumi matatu ya madini ya feza.When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

4Akawamba, “Khikoa masa kwa kumlavya mntu mwesekuwa na masa yoyose akomwe.” Iya wowo wakamtambaisa, “Yatiambiiza mbwai swie? Ivyo umanye wee mwenye!”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Nee atambika zia ntii za madini ya feza he nyumba ya Muungu na kulawa chongoi na kuita kwetungika.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Waviki wakuu wakadoa zia ntii za madini za feza wakamba, “Khaifaa kuika hamwe madini aya ya feza na madini yalavigwayo mwe Nyumba ya Muungu kwaviya ntii izi za madini ya feza zilavigwa kwaajii ya kumkoma mntu.”The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7Wekubindaho kumamakhanya wakevana kugua mnda wa kiongo hawe hantu hauzisi ha wanyika.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Nee mana adi ivyeo mnda uwo wetangwa mnda wa phome.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Nee yaigania ida mbui yekwegombekwayo na Muoni Yelemia, kuwa, “Wakadoa ziya ntii za makumi matatu ya madini ya feza, yombe yekupangwayo na wantu wa Isilaeli,Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

10wakaziguiya mnda wa kiongo, inga Zumbe ekuniagiiavyo.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Yesu ekuwaho kagooka hemeso ya Pilato ekuwaye mgookezi wa Kilumi, akamuuza, “Wee nee Seuta wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akagombeka, “Inga wekugombekavyo miye nee uyo.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Iya wagookezi wa waviki na wadaa wekumwahiavyo masa khekutambaisa mbui.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Ivyo Pilato akamuuza, “Ivi khutegeeza mbui ambazo wazigombeka?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Iya Yesu khekuandua ata mbui mwenga, ata uyo mgookezi wa Kilumi akahondomaa muno.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Neiwa kawaida kisingi cha sikukhuu ya Pasaka mgookezi wa Kilumi awavugwiiya zumwezumwe da wantu mfungwa yumwe wamkundae.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Kisingi icho nekuwa na mfungwa yumwe ekuwaye mntu mfyaimi, zina dakwe Balaba.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Ivyo wantu wekukintanikaho hamwe, Pilato akawauza, “Mwakunda ni wavugwiiye yuhi gatigati ya awa waidi, Balaba hambu Yesu etangwae Klistu?”So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18Kagombeka ivyo, kwaviya kamanya wamueta kwakwe kwaajii ya kinyuu.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Pilato ekuwaho kekaa mwe kigoda chakwe cha kuamuiya, mkaziwe akamwetea bauwa inu. “Usekumgosoa kintu chochose mntu uyu yedi, na kwaviya ivyeo khisuumizwa muno mwe sozi kwaajii yakwe.”While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

20Iya waviki wakuu na wadaa wakawanchochea dia zumwezumwe da wantu wamwombeze Balaba aekewe na Yesu akomwe.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Pilato akawauza, “Gatigati ya awa waidi ni yuhi mumkundae niwavugwiiye?” Wakatambaisa, “Balaba!”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pilato akawauza, “Isasa mwaonda nimtende viivihi na Yesu mwetangwae Klistu?” Wose wakagombeka, “Agong'ondewe he mhamba!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Pilato akawauza, “Kwa mbwai? Ni ufyaimi wani ekugosoao?” Wowo wakaendeea kutoa mgutio, “Agong'ondewe he mhamba!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Pilato ekuonaho kuwa khadaha kugosoa dodose na kwaviya khumbizi zavoka kulawiiya, akadoa mazi na akasunta mikono hemeso ya dia zumwezumwe da wantu, akamba, “Mie khimo mwe mbui ya kumkoma mntu uyu, mbwii yenu wenye.”When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

25Wantu wose wakamba, “Kwa mbui inu tiigosoayo, Muungu na atekhe sugusa swie hamwe na wana wetu!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Aho Pilato akawavuguiya Balaba kulawa he kifungo, na akagombeka Yesu atoigwe na ngoda yekwegosolwayo na babu da kiboko, na akamlavya agong'ondewe he mhamba.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Wakamwegaa gati mwe nyumba ya ugookezi, na maasikai wose wakamzunguka.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Wakamhambua gwanda dakwe, wakamhasika joho dekhundu.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Wakagosoa kintu inga khofia seuta yekugosolwayo na miwa wakamhasika mwe mtwi, wakamwiikia ngoda mwe mkono wakwe kuume. Wakakinta mavindi hemeso yakwe, wakambea kwa kumwamba, “Takuugusa Seuta wa Wayahudi!”And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30Wakamswiiya ovu, wakadoa ida ngoda wekumwekhayo mwe mkono wakwe na kumtoa nayo mwe mtwiThen they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Wekubindaho kumgosoeya ayo, wakamhambua dia gwanda na kumhasika nguo zakwe, na wakamwegaa kumgong'ondea mwe mhamba.After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

32Wekuwaho wakaita kumng'ondea he mhamba wakamuona mntu yumwe zina dakwe Simoni, mwenyezi wa Kilene. Aho asikai wa Wakilumi wakamshuutiza kuudoa mhamba wakwe Yesu.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Wekubuaho hantu hetangwaho Goligota mana yakwe, hantu hafufu da mtwi,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34wakamwekha divai yekuhanganywayo na nyongo. Iya Yesu ekuionjaho akaemea kuidomea.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Wakamgong'ondea he mhamba, naho nguo zakwe wakapangana kwa kuzitoea kulaWhen they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Wakekaa, wakawa wamuinda.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Uwanga ya mtwi wakwe kwe mhamba nee kuikwa kibao chekuandikwacho, “Uyu ni Yesu, Zumbe wa Wayahudi.”Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Viyaviya mabagaa waidi nee wagong'ondewa kia yumwe na mhamba wakwe, yumwe phande ya kuume na mtuhu phande ya kumoso.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Wantu wekuwao wakemboka hehi na aho wakamdumua na kusingisa mitwi yao kwa kumseka na kugombeka,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40“Wee kwevuna, wadaha kuitua Nyumba ya Muungu na kuizenga kwa misi mitatu! Inga wee ni Mwana wa Muungu, eohoe mwenye na usee mwenye kulawa aho he mhamba!”and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41Viyaviya, wagookezi wa waviki na wahinyi wa miko na waongoezi wa Wayahudi wakamhega na kugombeka.In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Kawaohoa watuhu, akini kweohoa mwenye khadaha! Ati yee ni Seuta wa wantu wa Isilaeli! Na asee mwe mhamba, na swie tenda timzumiiye!“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

43Kamkauwiya Muungu, na isasa Muungu amwoohoe inga amkunda, kwaviya kagombeka, ‘Mie ni Mwana wa Muungu.’ ”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Ata wada wahokaji wekugong'ondewao hamwe nae wakamdumua viyaviya.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Kuvokea saa mtandatu, musi adi saa kenda, si yose nenikiza du.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Yekubuaho saa kenda Yesu akaiya kwa mgutio mkuu, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama sabakitani?” Yaani, “Muungu yangu, Muungu yangu, mbona kunibada?”About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

47Iya wantu wada wekugookao hada wekutegeezaho ivyo wakagombeka, “Amwetanga Elia.”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Yumwe awo akaguuka na akadoa dodoki akadiginta mwe divai yekusasayo, akaiika uwanga ya lasi, na akamwekha adomee.One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

49Watuhu wakagombeka, “Eka tikauwe ati Elia endaeze kumwoohoa.”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Naho Yesu akaiya vituhu kwa mgutio mkuu na akauya na nyuma.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Ahoaho pazia da Nyumba ya Muungu dikatatuka ntii mbii, kulawa uwanga hadi asi, na inusi ikazingiza na maiwe makuu yakabondekabondeka,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52mambiya yakavuguka na wantu wa Muungu wakayuyuswa.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Bada ya kuyuyuka kwakwe Yesu, wakalawa mwe mambiya na wakengia mzi wa Muungu na wantu wangi wakawaona.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Yuda mkuu wa maasikai hamwe na weziwe wekuwao wakamuinda Yesu wekuonaho zingizo da inusi na zia mbui zekulawiiazo wakaogoha muno na wakagombeka kwei, “Mntu uyu neekawa Mwana wa Muungu.”When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

55Hantu aho newaaho wavyee wangi wakamkauwa kwa hae. Awo nee wada wekumtongeao Yesu kulawa Galilaya wakamwambiiza.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Gatigati yao nee ni Maliamu mntu wa Magidala na Maliamu mami yao da Yakobo na Yusufu, hamwe na mami yao wana wa Zebedayo.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Yekubuaho guoni, akeza mntu yumwe mwenye vintu vingi zina dakwe Yusufu mwenyezi wa mzi wa Alimataya. Yee naye nekawa mhina wa Yesu,When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58akambasa Pilato akauombeza mwii wa Yesu. Aho Pilato akamba ekhigwe.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Yusufu akaudoa uda mwii akauzengeteza sanda yekung'aayo muno,So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60akauiika mwe mbia dihya ekudisongoado mwe iwe kuu, akadoa iwe kuu na kudiika he uvi, na akahauka zakwe.and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

61Maliamu mntu wa Magidala na Maliamu yuda mtuhu, newekaa kukauwa mbia da Yesu.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Kioi yakwe, yaani Msi wa Kuhumwiiza, Waviki wakuu na Mafalisayo wakambasa Pilato,The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63wakamwamba, “Mkuu tikumbuka kuwa, ‘Yuda mtiizi katigombeka, kisingi khazati kuuya na nyuma, bada misi mitatu nendaniyuyuke.’“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Kwaiyo agiiya ido mbiya diindwe adi misi mitatu ili wahina wakwe wasekweza kumbawa, na kuwamba wantu kayuyuka. Uhokho hunu wa kisikiizi wendauwe wa ufyaimi muno kusima uda wa bosi.”So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

65Pilato akawamba. “Haya, mnao waindaji na waite mkadiinde mmanyavyo.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Ivyo wakaita na wagoji ili kudiinda dia mbia vitana, na wakaika alama mwe dia mbia na aho waika asikali wainde.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
