Mark 14 (SWH1850)

1Ilikuwa siku mbili tu kabla ya sikukuu ya Pasaka na ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu. Makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria walikuwa wakitafuta njia ya kumtia Yesu nguvuni kwa hila wamuue.Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

2Lakini walisema, “Tusimtie nguvuni wakati wa sikukuu, watu wasije wakafanya ghasia.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Yesu alikuwa Bethania, nyumbani kwa Simoni, Mkoma. Alipokuwa mezani kula chakula, mama mmoja aliyekuwa na chupa ya alabasta yenye marashi ya nardo safi ya thamani kubwa alikuja, akaivunja hiyo chupa, akammiminia Yesu marashi hayo kichwani.While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.

4Baadhi ya watu waliokuwa hapo walikasirika wakajisemea, “Kwa nini kupoteza ovyo marashi haya?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5Yangaliweza kuuzwa kwa fedha kiasi cha denari mia tatu, wakapewa maskini!” Wakamkemea huyo mama.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Mwacheni; kwa nini mnamsumbua? Amenitendea jambo jema.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Maskini mnao daima pamoja nanyi; mnaweza kuwasaidia wakati wowote mnaopenda. Lakini mimi sitakuwapo pamoja nanyi daima.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8Yeye amefanya alivyoweza; ameupaka mwili wangu marashi kuutayarisha kwa maziko.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9Nawaambieni kweli, popote ulimwenguni Habari Njema itakapohubiriwa, kitendo hiki alichofanya kitatajwa kwa ajili ya kumkumbuka.”And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

10Kisha Yuda Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, alienda kwa makuhani wakuu ili kumsaliti Yesu.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11Makuhani wakuu waliposikia habari hiyo, walifurahi, wakaahidi kumpa fedha. Basi, Yuda akaanza kutafuta nafasi ya kumsaliti Yesu.They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

12Siku ya kwanza ya sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, wakati ambapo mwana kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa, wanafunzi wake walimwuliza, “Wataka tukuandalie wapi karamu ya Pasaka?”On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13Basi Yesu akawatuma wawili wa wanafunzi wake akiwaambia, “Nendeni mjini, nanyi mtakutana na mtu anayebeba mtungi wa maji. MfuateniSo He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

14mpaka katika nyumba atakayoingia, mkamwambie mwenye nyumba, Mwalimu anasema: wapi chumba changu ambamo nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu?and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

15Naye atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani kilichotayarishwa na kupambwa. Tuandalieni humo.”And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Wanafunzi wakaondoka, wakaenda mjini, wakakuta kila kitu sawa kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia. Wakaandaa karamu ya Pasaka.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Ilipokuwa jioni, Yesu alifika pamoja na wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Walipokuwa mezani wakila, Yesu alisema, “Kweli nawaambieni, mmoja wenu anayekula pamoja nami, atanisaliti.”And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19Hapo wanafunzi wake wakaanza kuhuzunika, wakamwuliza mmojammoja, “Je, ni mimi?”They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20Yesu akawaambia, “Ni mmoja wenu ninyi kumi na wawili, anayechovya mkate pamoja nami katika bakuli.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Kweli Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda zake kama Maandiko Matakatifu yanavyosema juu yake; lakini, ole wake mtu yule anayemsaliti Mwana wa Mtu! Ingalikuwa afadhali kwa mtu huyo kama hangalizaliwa!”The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22Walipokuwa wanakula, Yesu alitwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake akisema, “Twaeni; huu ni mwili wangu.”While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

23Kisha akatwaa kikombe, akamshukuru Mungu, akawapa; nao wote wakanywa katika kikombe hicho.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24Akawaambia, “Hii ni damu yangu inayothibitisha agano la Mungu, damu inayomwagwa kwa ajili ya watu wengi.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Kweli nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka siku ile nitakapoinywa upya katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

26Kisha wakaimba wimbo, wakaondoka, wakaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ninyi nyote mtakuwa na mashaka nami; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: Nitampiga mchungaji nao kondoo watatawanyika.Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

28Lakini nikisha fufuka, nitawatangulieni kule Galilaya.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Petro akamwambia “Hata kama wote watakuwa na mashaka nawe na kukuacha, mimi sitakukana kamwe!”Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Yesu akamwambia, “Kweli nakwambia, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utanikana mara tatu.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Lakini Petro akasisitiza, “Hata kama ni lazima nife pamoja nawe, sitakuacha kamwe.” Wanafunzi wote pia wakasema vivyo hivyo.But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

32Basi, wakafika katika bustani iitwayo Gethsemane. Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa wakati mimi nasali.”Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33Kisha akawachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohane; akaanza kufadhaika sana na kuhangaika.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34Akawaambia, “Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35Akaenda mbele kidogo, akajitupa chini kifudifudi, akasali kwamba, kama ingewezekana, asiipitie saa hiyo ya mateso.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36Akasema, “Baba yangu, kwako mambo yote yanawezekana. Uniondolee kikombe hiki; lakini isiwe kama nitakavyo mimi, bali utakavyo wewe.”“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Kisha akarudi kwa wanafunzi wale watatu, akawakuta wamelala. Basi, akamwuliza Petro, “Simoni, je umelala? Hukuweza kukesha hata saa moja?”Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Kisha akawaambia, “Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho i radhi, lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Akaenda kusali tena akirudia maneno yaleyale.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40Kisha akarudi tena, akawakuta wamelala. Macho yao yalikuwa yamebanwa na usingizi. Hawakujua la kumjibu.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41Alipowajia mara ya tatu aliwaambia, “Mnalala bado na kupumzika? Sasa imetosha! Saa imefika! Mwana wa Mtu anakabidhiwa kwa watu waovu.When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42Amkeni, twendeni zetu. Tazameni, yule atakayenisaliti amekaribia.”Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Yesu alipokuwa bado anasema, Yuda, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, akafika pamoja na umati wa watu wenye mapanga na marungu. Watu hao walikuwa wametumwa na makuhani wakuu, walimu wa Sheria na wazee.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

44Msaliti Yuda alikuwa amewapa ishara: “Yule nitakayembusu ndiye; mkamateni, mkampeleke chini ya ulinzi.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Yuda alipofika tu, alimwendea Yesu moja kwa moja, akasema, “Mwalimu!” Kisha akambusu.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Basi, hao watu wakamkamata Yesu, wakamtia nguvuni.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Mmoja wa wale waliokuwa wamesimama hapo pamoja na Yesu akauchomoa upanga wake, akampiga mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, akamkata sikio.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Yesu akawaambia, “Je, mmekuja na mapanga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyang'anyi?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Kila siku nilikuwa pamoja nanyi nikifundisha Hekaluni, wala hamkunikamata. Lakini sasa lazima Maandiko Matakatifu yatimie.”Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

50Hapo wanafunzi wote wakamwacha, wakakimbia.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Kulikuwa na kijana mmoja aliyekuwa anamfuata Yesu akiwa amevaa shuka. Nao wakajaribu kumkamata.One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52Lakini yeye akaponyoka, akaiachilia ile shuka, akakimbia uchi.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Basi, wakampeleka Yesu kwa Kuhani Mkuu ambapo makuhani wakuu wote, wazee na walimu wa Sheria walikuwa wamekutanika.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54Petro alimfuata Yesu kwa mbali, akaingia ndani ya ya wa Kuhani Mkuu, akaketi pamoja na walinzi akiota moto.Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

55Makuhani wakuu na Baraza lote wakatafuta ushahidi wa kumshtaki Yesu wapate kumwua, lakini hawakupata.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Watu wengi walitoa ushahidi wa uongo juu ya Yesu, lakini ushahidi wao haukupatana.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Kisha wengine walisimama, wakatoa ushahidi wa uongo wakisema:Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58“Tulimsikia mtu huyu akisema, Nitaliharibu Hekalu hili lililojengwa kwa mikono, na kwa siku tatu nitajenga lingine lisilojengwa kwa mikono.”“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Lakini hata hivyo, ushahidi wao haukupatana.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Basi, Kuhani Mkuu akasimama katikati yao, akamwuliza Yesu, “Je, hujibu neno? Watu hawa wanashuhudia nini dhidi yako?”So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Lakini yeye akakaa kimya; hakusema hata neno moja. Kuhani Mkuu akamwuliza tena, “Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu Mtukufu?”But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62Yesu akajibu, “Naam, mimi ndiye. Tena, mtamwona Mwana wa Mtu amekaa upande wa kulia wa Mwenyezi, akija katika mawingu ya mbinguni.”“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63Hapo Kuhani Mkuu akararua joho lake, akasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya mashahidi?At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64Mmesikia kufuru yake! Ninyi mwaonaje?” Wote wakaamua kwamba anastahili kuuawa.You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Basi, baadhi yao wakaanza kumtemea mate, wakamfunika uso, wakampiga na kumwambia, “Bashiri ni nani aliyekupiga!” Hata watumishi wakamchukua, wakampiga makofi.Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

66Petro alipokuwa bado chini ukumbini, mmoja wa wajakazi wa kuhani Mkuu alikuja.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67Alipomwona Petro akiota moto, alimtazama, akamwambia, “Hata wewe ulikuwa pamoja na Yesu Mnazareti.”and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Lakini Petro akakana, “Sijui, wala sielewi unayosema!” Kisha Petro akaondoka, akaenda nje uani. Hapo jogoo akawika.But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

69Yule mjakazi alipomwona tena Petro, akaanza tena kuwaambia watu waliokuwa wamesimama hapo, “Mtu huyu ni mmoja wao.”There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70Petro akakana tena. Baadaye kidogo, watu waliokuwa wamesimama hapo wakamwambia Petro, “Hakika wewe ni mmoja wao, maana wewe ni Mgalilaya.”But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

71Lakini Petro akaanza kulaani na kuapa akisema, “Mimi simjui mtu huyu mnayesema habari zake.”But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Hapo jogoo akawika mara ya pili. Basi, Petro akakumbuka jinsi Yesu alivyokuwa amemwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika mara mbili, utanikana mara tatu.” Petro akabubujika machozi.And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
