Luke 22

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

1 Wakati huu Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, iitwayo Pasaka, ilikuwa imekaribia.

2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

2 Viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria walikuwa wanatafuta njia ya kumuua Yesu, kwa sababu waliwaogopa watu.

3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

3 Shetani akamwingia Yuda, aliyeitwa Iskariote, mmoja wa wale Kumi na Wawili.

4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

4 Yuda akaenda kwa viongozi wa makuhani na kwa maafisa wa walinzi wa Hekalu, akazungumza nao jinsi ambavyo angeweza kumsaliti Yesu.

5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

5 Wakafurahi na wakakubaliana kumpa fedha.

6 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

6 Naye akakubali, akaanza kutafuta wakati uliofaa wa kumsaliti Yesu kwao, wakati ambapo hakuna umati wa watu.

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

7 Basi ikawadia siku ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, siku ambayo mwana-kondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

8 Hivyo Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohana, akisema, “Nendeni mkatuandalie chakula cha Pasaka ili tuweze kuila.”

9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

9 Wakamuuliza, “Unataka tukuandalie wapi?”

10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

10 Yesu akawaambia, “Tazameni, mtakapokuwa mkiingia mjini, mtakutana na mwanaume amebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni mpaka kwenye nyumba atakayoingia.

11 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?’

11 Nanyi mwambieni mwenye nyumba, ‘Mwalimu anauliza: Kiko wapi chumba cha wageni, ambamo mimi na wanafunzi wangu tutakula Pasaka?’

12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

12 Atawaonyesha chumba kikubwa ghorofani, kikiwa kimepambwa vizuri. Andaeni humo.”

13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

13 Wakaenda, nao wakakuta kila kitu kama Yesu alivyowaambia. Hivyo wakaiandaa Pasaka.

14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

14 Wakati ulipowadia, Yesu akaketi mezani pamoja na wale mitume wake.

15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

15 Kisha akawaambia, “Nimetamani sana kuila Pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu.

16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

16 Kwa maana, nawaambia, sitaila tena Pasaka mpaka itakapotimizwa katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”

17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

17 Akiisha kukichukua kikombe, akashukuru, akasema, “Chukueni hiki mnywe wote.

18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

18 Kwa maana nawaambia tangu sasa sitakunywa tena katika uzao wa mzabibu, hadi Ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”

19 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.”

19 Kisha akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, na kuwapa, akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa ukumbusho wangu.”

20 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.

20 Vivyo hivyo baada ya kula, akakitwaa kikombe, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya katika damu yangu, imwagikayo kwa ajili yenu.

21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

21 Lakini mkono wake huyo atakayenisaliti uko hapa mezani pamoja nami.

22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

22 Mwana wa Adamu anaenda zake kama ilivyokusudiwa. Lakini ole wake mtu huyo amsalitiye.”

23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

23 Wakaanza kuulizana wenyewe ni nani miongoni mwao angeweza kufanya jambo hilo.

24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

24 Pia yakazuka mabishano katikati ya wanafunzi kwamba ni nani aliyeonekana kuwa mkuu kuliko wote miongoni mwao.

25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

25 Yesu akawaambia, “Wafalme na watu wa Mataifa huwatawala watu kwa nguvu. Nao wenye mamlaka juu yao hujiita ‘Wafadhili.’

26 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.

26 Lakini ninyi msifanane nao. Bali yeye aliye mkuu kuliko wote miongoni mwenu, inampasa kuwa kama yeye aliye mdogo wa wote, naye atawalaye na awe kama yeye ahudumuye.

27 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.

27 Kwani ni nani aliye mkuu? Ni yule aketiye mezani au ni yule ahudumuye? Si ni yule aliyekaa mezani? Lakini mimi niko miongoni mwenu kama yule ahudumuye.

28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

28 Ninyi mmekuwa pamoja nami katika majaribu yangu.

29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

29 Nami kama Baba yangu alivyonipa ufalme, kadhalika mimi nami ninawapa ninyi,

30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

30 ili mpate kula na kunywa mezani pangu katika karamu ya ufalme wangu, na kukaa katika viti vya enzi, mkihukumu makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.”

31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

31 Yesu akasema, “Simoni, Simoni, sikiliza, Shetani ameomba kuwapepeta ninyi wote kama ngano.

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

32 Lakini nimekuombea wewe Simoni ili imani yako isishindwe, nawe ukiisha kunirudia, uwaimarishe ndugu zako.”

33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

33 Petro akajibu, “Bwana, niko tayari kwenda pamoja nawe gerezani na hata kifoni.”

34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

34 Yesu akamjibu, “Ninakuambia Petro, kabla jogoo hajawika usiku wa leo, utakana mara tatu kwamba hunijui mimi.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

35 Kisha Yesu akawauliza, “Nilipowatuma bila mfuko, wala mkoba, wala viatu, mlipungukiwa na kitu chochote?” Wakajibu, “La, hatukupungukiwa na kitu chochote.”

36 “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.

36 Akawaambia, “Lakini sasa, aliye na mfuko na auchukue, na aliye na mkoba vivyo hivyo. Naye asiye na upanga, auze joho lake anunue mmoja.

37 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.”

37 Kwa sababu, nawaambia, andiko hili lazima litimizwe juu yangu, kwamba, ‘Alihesabiwa pamoja na wakosaji’; kwa kweli yaliyoandikwa kunihusu mimi hayana budi kutimizwa.”

38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

38 Wanafunzi wake wakamwambia, “Bwana, tazama hapa kuna panga mbili.” Akawajibu, “Inatosha.”

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

39 Yesu akatoka, akaenda kwenye Mlima wa Mizeituni kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake, nao wanafunzi wake wakamfuata.

40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

40 Walipofika huko, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ombeni, msije mkaingia majaribuni.”

41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

41 Akajitenga nao kama umbali wa kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti, akaomba

42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

42 akisema, “Baba, kama ni mapenzi yako, niondolee kikombe hiki. Lakini si kama nipendavyo, bali mapenzi yako yatendeke.”

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

43 Malaika kutoka mbinguni akamtokea, akamtia nguvu.

44 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

44 Naye akiwa katika maumivu makuu, akaomba kwa bidii, nalo jasho lake likawa kama matone ya damu yakidondoka ardhini.

45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

45 Baada ya kuomba, akawarudia wanafunzi wake akawakuta wamelala, wakiwa wamechoka kutokana na huzuni.

46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

46 Naye akawauliza, “Mbona mmelala? Amkeni, mwombe ili msije mkaingia majaribuni.”

47 While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

47 Yesu alipokuwa bado anazungumza, umati mkubwa wa watu ukaja. Uliongozwa na Yuda, ambaye alikuwa mmoja wa wale wanafunzi Kumi na Wawili. Akamkaribia Yesu ili ambusu.

48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

48 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda, je, unamsaliti Mwana wa Adamu kwa busu?”

49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

49 Wafuasi wa Yesu walipoona yale yaliyokuwa yanakaribia kutokea, wakasema, “Bwana, tuwakatekate kwa panga zetu?”

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

50 Mmoja wao akampiga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu kwa upanga, akamkata sikio la kuume.

51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

51 Lakini Yesu akasema, “Acheni!” Akaligusa lile sikio la yule mtu na kumponya.

52 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?

52 Kisha Yesu akawaambia wale viongozi wa makuhani, maafisa wa walinzi wa Hekalu, pamoja na wazee waliokuwa wamekuja kumkamata, “Mmekuja na panga na marungu, kana kwamba mimi ni mnyangʼanyi?

53 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.”

53 Siku kwa siku nilikuwa pamoja nanyi Hekaluni lakini hamkunikamata. Lakini hii ni saa yenu, wakati giza linatawala!”

54 Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

54 Kisha wakamkamata Yesu, wakamchukua, wakaenda naye mpaka nyumbani kwa kuhani mkuu. Lakini Petro akafuata kwa mbali.

55 When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

55 Walipokwisha kuwasha moto katikati ya ua na kuketi pamoja, Petro naye akaketi pamoja nao.

56 A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

56 Mtumishi mmoja wa kike akamwona kwa mwanga wa moto akiwa ameketi pale. Akamtazama sana, akasema, “Huyu mtu pia alikuwa pamoja na Yesu!”

57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

57 Lakini Petro akakana, akasema, “Ewe mwanamke, hata simjui!”

58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

58 Baadaye kidogo, mtu mwingine alimwona Petro akasema, “Wewe pia ni mmoja wao!” Petro akajibu, “Wewe mtu, mimi sio mmoja wao!”

59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

59 Baada ya muda wa kama saa moja hivi, mtu mwingine akazidi kusisitiza, “Kwa hakika huyu mtu naye alikuwa pamoja na Yesu, kwa maana yeye pia ni Mgalilaya.”

60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

60 Petro akajibu, “Wewe mtu, mimi sijui unalosema!” Wakati huo huo, akiwa bado anazungumza, jogoo akawika.

61 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.”

61 Naye Bwana akageuka, akamtazama Petro. Ndipo Petro akakumbuka lile neno ambalo Bwana alimwambia: “Kabla jogoo hajawika leo, utanikana mara tatu.”

62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

62 Naye akaenda nje, akalia kwa majonzi.

63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

63 Watu waliokuwa wanamlinda Yesu wakaanza kumdhihaki na kumpiga.

64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

64 Wakamfunga kitambaa machoni na kumuuliza, “Tabiri! Tuambie ni nani aliyekupiga?”

65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

65 Wakaendelea kumtukana kwa matusi mengi.

66 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,

66 Kulipopambazuka, baraza la wazee wa watu, yaani viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria, wakakutana pamoja, naye Yesu akaletwa mbele yao.

67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

67 Wakamwambia, “Kama wewe ndiye Kristo, tuambie.” Yesu akawajibu, “Hata nikiwaambia hamtaamini.

68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

68 Nami nikiwauliza swali, hamtanijibu.

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

69 Lakini kuanzia sasa, Mwana wa Adamu ataketi mkono wa kuume wa Mungu Mwenye Nguvu.”

70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

70 Wote wakauliza, “Wewe basi ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu?” Yeye akawajibu, “Ninyi mwasema kwamba mimi ndiye.”

71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”

71 Kisha wakasema, “Tuna haja gani tena ya ushahidi zaidi? Tumesikia wenyewe kutoka kinywani mwake.”
