Luka 22
Mpango wa kumwua Yesu
(Mat 26:1-5; Marko 14:1-2; Yoh 11:45-53)
1 Sikukuu ya mikate isiyotiwa chachu, iitwayo Pasaka, ilikuwa inakaribia. 2 Makuhani wakuu na waalimu wa sheria wakawa wanatafuta njia ya kumwua Yesu, lakini waliwaogopa watu.
Yuda anakubali kumsaliti Yesu
(Mat 26:14-16; Marko 14:10-11)
3 Basi, Shetani akamwingia Yuda aitwaye Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili. 4 Yuda akaenda, akajadiliana na makuhani wakuu na walinzi wa hekalu kuhusu atakavyomsaliti Yesu kwao. 5 Nao wakafurahi na kupatana naye kumlipa fedha. 6 Yuda akakubali, na akawa anatafuta nafasi nzuri ya kumkabidhi kwao bila umati wa watu kujua.
Maandalio ya karamu ya Pasaka
(Mat 26:17-25; Marko 14:12-21; Yoh 13:21-30)
7 Basi, siku ya mikate isiyotiwa chachu ikafika. Hiyo ndiyo siku ambayo mwanakondoo wa Pasaka huchinjwa. 8 Hivyo Yesu akawatuma Petro na Yohane, akawaambia, “Nendeni mkatuandalie karamu ili tupate kula Pasaka.” 9 Nao wakamwuliza, “Unataka tuiandae wapi?” 10 Akawaambia, “Sikilizeni! Mtakapokuwa mnakwenda mjini, mtakutana na mwanamume anayebeba mtungi wa maji. Mfuateni mpaka ndani ya nyumba atakayoingia. 11 Mwambieni mwenye nyumba: ‘Mwalimu anakuuliza, kiko wapi kile chumba ambamo nitakula Pasaka pamoja na wanafunzi wangu?’ 12 Naye atawaonesheni chumba kikubwa ghorofani ambacho kimepambwa. Andalieni humo.” 13 Basi, wakaenda, wakakuta kila kitu sawa kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia; wakaandaa karamu ya Pasaka.
Karamu ya Bwana
(Mat 26:26-30; Marko 14:22-26; 1Kor 11:23-25)
14 Saa ilipotimia, Yesu akakaa kula chakula pamoja na mitume wake. 15 Akawaambia, “Nimetamani sana kula Pasaka hii pamoja nanyi kabla ya kuteswa kwangu. 16 Maana nawaambieni, sitaila tena hadi hapo itakapokamilika katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
17 Kisha akatwaa kikombe cha divai, akashukuru, akasema, “Pokeeni, mgawane. 18 Kwa maana nawaambieni, sitakunywa tena divai ya zabibu mpaka ufalme wa Mungu utakapokuja.”
19 Halafu akatwaa mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akawapa akisema, “Huu ni mwili wangu unaotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa kunikumbuka.” 20 Akafanya vivyo hivyo na kikombe cha divai baada ya chakula, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya linalothibitishwa kwa damu yangu inayomwagika kwa ajili yenu.t
21 “Lakini, tazameni! Yule atakayenisaliti yuko nami hapa mezani. 22 Kweli Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda kuuawa kama ilivyopangwa, lakini ole wake mtu anayemsaliti.”
23 Hapo wakaanza kuulizana wao kwa wao ni nani kati yao atakayefanya jambo hilo.
Ubishi juu ya ukuu
24 Kulitokea ubishi kati ya hao mitume kuhusu nani miongoni mwao anayefikiriwa kuwa mkuu kuliko wengine. 25 Yesu akawaambia, “Wafalme wa mataifa huwatawala watu wao kwa mabavu, nao huitwa wafadhili wa watu. 26 Lakini isiwe hivyo kati yenu; bali, yule aliye mkuu kati yenu ni lazima awe mdogo wa wote, na aliye kiongozi lazima awe kama mtumishi. 27 Kwa 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.
28 “Nyinyi ndio mliobaki nami wakati wote wa majaribu yangu; 29 na, kama vile Baba yangu alivyonikabidhi ufalme, vivyo hivyo nami ninawakabidhi nyinyi ufalme. 30 Mtakula na kunywa mezani pangu katika ufalme wangu na kuketi katika viti vya enzi kuyahukumu makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.
Yesu anabashiri kwamba Petro atamkana
(Mat 26:31-35; Marko 14:27-31; Yoh 13:36-38)
31 “Simoni, Simoni! Sikiliza! Shetani alitaka kuwapepeta nyinyi kama mtu anavyopepeta ngano. 32 Lakini mimi nimekuombea ili imani yako isipungue. Nawe utakaponirudia, watie moyo ndugu zako.” 33 Naye Petro akamjibu, “Bwana, mimi niko tayari kwenda pamoja nawe gerezani, na hata kufa.” 34 Yesu akamjibu, “Nakuambia wewe Petro, kabla jogoo hajawika leo utakuwa umenikana mara tatu.”
Wakati wa hatari
35 Kisha, Yesu akawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Wakati nilipowatuma bila mfuko wa fedha wala mkoba wala viatu, mlitindikiwa chochote?” Wakajibu, “La.” 36 Naye 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. 37 Maana nawaambieni, haya maneno ya Maandiko Matakatifu: ‘Aliwekwa kundi moja na wahalifu,’ ni lazima yatimie. Naam, yale yanayonihusu yanafikia ukamilifu wake.” 38 Nao wakasema, “Bwana, tazama; hapa kuna panga mbili.” Naye akasema, “Basi!”
Yesu anasali bustanini Gethsemane
(Mat 26:36-46; Marko 14:32-42)
39 Yesu akatoka, na kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake, akaenda katika mlima wa Mizeituni; wanafunzi wake wakamfuata. 40 Alipofika huko akawaambia, “Salini, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.” 41 Kisha akawaacha, akaenda umbali wa mtu kuweza kutupa jiwe, akapiga magoti, akasali: 42 “Baba, kama wapenda, ukiondoe kwangu kikombe hiki; hata hivyo, mapenzi yako yatimizwe, wala siyo yangu.” 43 Hapo, malaika kutoka mbinguni akamtokea ili kumtia moyo. 44 Akiwa katika uchungu mkubwa, alisali kwa bidii zaidi; na jasho likamtoka kama matone ya damu, likatiririka mpaka chini.t
45 Baada ya kusali, aliwarudia wanafunzi wake, akawakuta wamelala, kwani walikuwa na huzuni. 46 Akawaambia, “Mbona mnalala? Amkeni msali, msije mkaingia katika kishawishi.”
Yesu anatiwa nguvuni
(Mat 26:47-56; Marko 14:43-50; Yoh 18:3-11)
47 Alipokuwa bado anaongea, kundi la watu likaja likiongozwa na yule aliyeitwa Yuda, mmoja wa wale mitume kumi na wawili. Yuda akaenda kumsalimu Yesu kwa kumbusu. 48 Lakini Yesu akamwambia, “Yuda! Je, unamsaliti Mwana wa Mtu kwa kumbusu?” 49 Wale wanafunzi wake walipoona hayo wakasema, “Bwana, tutumie panga zetu?” 50 Na mmoja wao akampiga upanga mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu, akamkata sikio lake la kulia. 51 Hapo, Yesu akasema, “Acha! Hii inatosha.” Akaligusa sikio la mtu huyo, akaliponya.
52 Kisha Yesu akawaambia makuhani wakuu, wakubwa wa walinzi wa hekalu na wazee waliokuja kumkamata: “Je, mmekuja na mapanga na marungu kunikamata kana kwamba mimi ni mnyanganyi? 53 Nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi kila siku hekaluni hamkunitia nguvuni. Lakini, huu ndio wakati wenu hasa, ndio wakati wa utawala wa giza.”
Petro anamkana Yesu
(Mat 26:57-58; Marko 14:53-54,66-72; Yoh 18:12-18,25-27)
54 Basi, wakamkamata, wakamchukua na kwenda naye nyumbani kwa kuhani mkuu. Petro akawa anamfuata nyuma kwa mbali. 55 Moto ulikuwa umewashwa katikati ya ua, nao wakawa wameketi pamoja, naye Petro akiwa miongoni mwao. 56 Mtumishi mmoja wa kike alipomwona Petro ameketi karibu na moto, akamkodolea macho, akasema, “Mtu huyu pia alikuwa pamoja na Yesu.” 57 Lakini Petro akakana akisema, “Wee! Simjui mimi.” 58 Baadaye kidogo, mtu mwingine akamwona Petro, akasema, “Wewe ni mmoja wao.” Lakini Petro akajibu “Bwana wee; si mimi!”
59 Kama saa moja baadaye, mtu mwingine akasisitiza, “Hakika huyu alikuwa pamoja naye; ametoka Galilaya ati.” 60 Lakini Petro akasema, “Bwana wee; sijui hata unachosema!” Na papo hapo, akiwa bado anaongea, jogoo akawika.
61 Bwana akageuka na kumtazama Petro, naye Petro akakumbuka yale aliyokuwa ameambiwa na Bwana: “Leo kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.” 62 Hapo akatoka nje, akalia sana.
Yesu anadhihakiwa na kupigwa
(Mat 26:67-68; Marko 14:65)
63 Wale watu waliokuwa wanamchunga Yesu, walimpiga na kumdhihaki. 64 Walimfunga kitambaa usoni, wakawa wanamwuliza, “Ni nani aliyekupiga? Hebu bashiri, tuone!” 65 Wakamtolea maneno mengi ya matusi.
Yesu mbele ya Baraza
(Mat 26:59-66; Marko 14:55-64; Yoh 18:19-24)
66 Kulipokucha, kikao cha wazee wa watu kilifanyika, ambacho kilihudhuriwa na makuhani wakuu na waalimu wa sheria. Yesu akaletwa mbele ya Baraza hilo. 67 Nao wakamwambia, “Tuambie! Je, wewe ndiwe Kristo?” Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Hata kama nikiwaambieni, hamtasadiki; 68 na hata kama nikiwaulizeni swali, hamtanijibu. 69 Lakini tangu sasa, Mwana wa Mtu atakuwa ameketi upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mwenye Nguvu.”
70 Hapo wote wakasema, “Ndiyo kusema wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu?” Naye akasema, “Nyinyi mnasema kwamba mimi ndiye.” 71 Nao wakasema, “Je, tunahitaji ushahidi mwingine? Sisi wenyewe tumesikia akisema kwa mdomo wake mwenyewe.”
Luke 22
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.4 And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.6 And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.7 And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.11 And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:16 for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.17 And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:18 for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.21 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.22 For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!23 And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.24 And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.28 But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;29 and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:32 but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.33 And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.35 And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.36 And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.37 For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.39 And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.41 And he was parted from them about a stone’s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,42 saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.43 And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.45 And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,46 and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.47 While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?49 And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?50 And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear.51 But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye them thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.52 And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.54 And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.56 And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.57 But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.59 And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.60 But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.62 And he went out, and wept bitterly.63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him.64 And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?65 And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.66 And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,67 If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:68 and if I ask you, ye will not answer.69 But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.70 And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.71 And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
