John 19:23 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Askari walipokwisha kumsulubisha Yesu, walichukua nguo zake wakazigawa mafungu manne, kila askari fungu lake. Ila walikubaliana wasilichane lile vazi lake kwa maana lilikuwa halina mshono bali limefumwa tangu juu hadi chini.
John 19:23 in English

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Context
21Viongozi wa makuhani wa Wayahudi wakapinga, wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike ‘Mfalme wa Wayahudi,’ bali andika kwamba mtu huyu alisema yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi.” 22Pilato akawajibu, “Nilichokwisha kuandika, nimeandika!” 23Askari walipokwisha kumsulubisha Yesu, walichukua nguo zake wakazigawa mafungu manne, kila askari fungu lake. Ila walikubaliana wasilichane lile vazi lake kwa maana lilikuwa halina mshono bali limefumwa tangu juu hadi chini. 24Wakaambiana, “Tusilichane ila tulipigie kura ili kuamua ni nani atalichukua.”
Hili lilitukia ili Maandiko yapate kutimizwa yale yaliyosema,
“Wanagawana nguo zangu,
na vazi langu wanalipigia kura.”
Hayo ndiyo waliyoyafanya wale askari. 25Wakati huo huo karibu na msalaba wa Yesu walikuwa wamesimama mama yake, na dada wa mamaye, na Maria mke wa Klopa, na Maria Magdalene.
