Luke 22 (SWH1850)

1Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa chachu, iitwayo Pasaka, ilikuwa inakaribia.Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria wakawa wanatafuta njia ya kumwua Yesu, lakini waliwaogopa watu.and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3Basi, Shetani akamwingia Yuda aitwae Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili.Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4Yuda akaenda akajadiliana na makuhani wakuu na walinzi wa Hekalu kuhusu atakavyomsaliti Yesu kwao.And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5Nao wakafurahi na kupatana naye kumlipa fedha.They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6Yuda akakubali, na akawa anatafuta nafasi nzuri ya kumkabidhi kwao bila umati wa watu kujua.Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7Basi, siku ya Mikate Isiyotiwa chachu ikafika. Hiyo ndiyo siku ambayo mwana kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa.Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8Hivyo Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohane, akawaambia, “Nendeni mkatuandalie karamu ili tupate kula Pasaka.”Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9Nao wakamwuliza, “Unataka tuiandae wapi?”“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10Akawaambia, “Sikilizeni! Mtakapokuwa mnakwenda mjini, mtakutana na mwanamume anayebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni mpaka ndani ya nyumba atakayoingia.He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11Mwambieni mwenye nyumba: Mwalimu anakuuliza, kiko wapi kile chumba ambamo nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu?and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

12Naye atawaonyesheni chumba kikubwa ghorofani ambacho kimepambwa. Andalieni humo.”And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13Basi, wakaenda, wakakuta kila kitu sawa kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia; wakaandaa karamu ya Pasaka.So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14Saa ilipotimia, Yesu akakaa kula chakula pamoja na mitume wake.When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

15Akawaambia, “Nimetamani sana kula Pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16Maana nawaambieni, sitaila tena hadi hapo itakapokamilika katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akashukuru akasema, “Pokeeni, mgawanye ninyi kwa ninyi.After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18Kwa maana nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka Ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19Halafu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu, unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka.”And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

20Akafanya vivyo hivyo na kikombe, baada ya chakula, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya linalothibitishwa kwa damu yangu inayomwagika kwa ajili yenu.In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.

21“Lakini, tazameni! Yule atakayenisaliti yuko nami hapa mezani.Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22Kweli Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda kuuawa kama ilivyopangwa, lakini ole wake mtu anayemsaliti.”Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23Hapo wakaanza kuulizana wao kwa wao ni nani kati yao atakayefanya jambo hilo.Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

24Kulitokea ubishi kati ya hao mitume kuhusu nani miongoni mwao anayefikiriwa kuwa mkuu zaidi kuliko wengine.A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25Yesu akawaambia, “Wafalme wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, nao huitwa wafadhili wa watu.So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

26Lakini isiwe hivyo kati yenu; bali, yule aliye mkuu kati yenu ni lazima awe mdogo wa wote, na aliye kiongozi lazima awe kama mtumishi.But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

27Kwa maana, ni nani aliye mkuu: yule anayeketi mezani kula chakula, ama yule anayetumikia? Bila shaka ni yule anayeketi mezani kula chakula! Hata hivyo, mimi niko hapa kati yenu kama mtumishi.For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

28“Ninyi ndio mliobaki nami wakati wote wa majaribu yangu;You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

29na, kama vile Baba yangu alivyonikabidhi Ufalme, vivyo hivyo nami nitawakabidhi ninyi Ufalme.And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

30Mtakula na kunywa mezani pangu katika ufalme wangu, na mtaketi katika viti vya enzi kuyahukumu makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31“Simoni, Simoni! Sikiliza! Shetani alitaka kuwapepeta ninyi kama mtu anavyopepeta ngano.Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

32Lakini mimi nimekuombea ili imani yako isipungue. Nawe utakaponirudia, watie moyo ndugu zako.”But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33Naye Petro akamjibu, “Bwana, mimi niko tayari kwenda pamoja nawe gerezani, na hata kufa.”“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

34Yesu akamjibu, “Nakwambia wewe Petro, kabla jogoo hajawika leo utakuwa umenikana mara tatu.”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35Kisha, Yesu akawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Wakati nilipowatuma bila mfuko wa fedha wala mkoba wala viatu, mlitindikiwa chochote?” Wakajibu, “La.”Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

36Naye akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, yule aliye na mfuko wa fedha auchukue; na aliye na mkoba, hali kadhalika. Na yeyote asiye na upanga, auze koti lake anunue mmoja.“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

37Maana nawaambieni, haya maneno ya Maandiko Matakatifu: Aliwekwa kundi moja na wahalifu, ni lazima yatimie. Naam, yale yanayonihusu yanafikia ukamilifu wake.”For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38Nao wakasema, “Bwana, tazama; hapa kuna panga mbili.” Naye akasema, “Basi!”So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

39Yesu akatoka, na kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake, akaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni; wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40Alipofika huko akawaambia, “Salini, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.”When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41Kisha akawaacha, akaenda umbali wa mtu kuweza kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti, akasali:And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42“Baba, kama wapenda, ukiondoe kwangu kikombe hiki; hata hivyo, mapenzi yako yatimizwe, wala siyo yangu.”“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43Hapo, malaika kutoka mbinguni, akamtokea ili kumtia moyo.Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44Akiwa katika uchungu mkubwa, alisali kwa bidii zaidi; na jasho likamtoka, kama matone ya damu, likatiririka mpaka chini.And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45Baada ya kusali, aliwarudia wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala, kwani walikuwa na huzuni.When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46Akawaambia, “Mbona mnalala? Amkeni msali, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.”“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

47Alipokuwa bado anaongea, kundi la watu likaja likiongozwa na yule aliyeitwa Yuda, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili. Yuda akaenda kumsalimu Yesu kwa kumbusu.While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda! Je, unamsaliti Mwana wa Mtu kwa kumbusu?”But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49Wale wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakasema, “Bwana, tutumie panga zetu?”Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50Na mmoja wao akampiga upanga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio lake la kulia.And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51Hapo, Yesu akasema, “Acha! Hii inatosha.” Akaligusa sikio la mtu huyo akaliponya.But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Kisha Yesu akawaambia makuhani wakuu, wakubwa wa walinzi wa Hekalu na wazee waliokuja kumkamata: “Je, mmekuja na mapanga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi?Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?

53Nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi kila siku Hekaluni hamkunitia nguvuni. Lakini, huu ndio wakati wenu hasa, ndio wakati wa utawala wa giza.”Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

54Basi, wakamkamata, wakamchukua na kwenda naye nyumbani kwa Kuhani Mkuu. Petro akawa anamfuata nyuma kwa mbali.Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

55Moto ulikuwa umewashwa katikati ya ua, nao wakawa wameketi pamoja Petro akiwa miongoni mwao.When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56Mjakazi mmoja alipomwona Petro ameketi karibu na moto, akamkodolea macho, akasema, “Mtu huyu alikuwa pia pamoja na Yesu.”A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

57Lakini Petro akakana akisema, “Wee! simjui mimi.”But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58Baadaye kidogo, mtu mwingine akamwona Petro, akasema, “Wewe ni mmoja wao.” Lakini Petro akajibu “Bwana we; si mimi!”A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59Kama saa moja baadaye, mtu mwingine akasisitiza, “Hakika huyu alikuwa pamoja naye; ametoka Galilaya ati.”About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60Lakini Petro akasema, “Bwana wee; sijui hata unachosema!” Na papo hapo, akiwa bado anaongea, jogoo akawika.“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61Bwana akageuka na kumtazama Petro, naye Petro akakumbuka yale aliyokuwa ameambiwa na Bwana: “Leo kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

62Hapo akatoka nje, akalia sana.And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63Wale watu waliokuwa wanamchunga Yesu, walimpiga na kumdhihaki.The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64Walimfunga kitambaa usoni, wakawa wanamwuliza, “Ni nani aliyekupiga? Hebu bashiri tuone!”They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65Wakamtolea maneno mengi ya matusi.And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66Kulipokucha, kikao cha wazee wa watu kilifanyika, ambacho kilihudhuriwa na makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Yesu akaletwa mbele ya Baraza hilo.At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,

67Nao wakamwambia, “Twambie! Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo?” Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Hata kama nikiwaambieni, hamtasadiki;“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68na hata kama nikiwaulizeni swali, hamtanijibu.And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69Lakini tangu sasa, Mwana wa Mtu atakuwa ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mwenyezi.”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70Hapo wote wakasema, “Ndiyo kusema wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu?” Naye akasema, “Ninyi mnasema kwamba mimi ndiye.”So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71Nao wakasema, “Je, tunahitaji ushahidi mwingine? Sisi wenyewe tumesikia akisema kwa mdomo wake mwenyewe.”“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
