The Resurrection
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Hata siku ya kwanza ya juma, ilipoanza kupambazuka, walikwenda kaburini, wakiyaleta manukato waliyoweka tayari.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
Wakalikuta lile jiwe limevingirishwa mbali na kaburi,
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
Wakaingia, wasiuone mwili wa Bwana Yesu.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
Ikawa walipokuwa wakifadhaika kwa ajili ya neno hilo, tazama, watu wawili walisimama karibu nao, wamevaa nguo za kumeta-meta;
5 and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
nao walipoingiwa na hofu na kuinama kifudifudi hata nchi, hao waliwaambia, Kwa nini mnamtafuta aliye hai katika wafu?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
Hayupo hapa, amefufuka. Kumbukeni alivyosema nanyi alipokuwa akaliko Galilaya,
7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
akisema, Imempasa Mwana wa Adamu kutiwa mikononi mwa wenye dhambi, na kusulibiwa, na kufufuka siku ya tatu.
8 And they remembered his words,
Wakayakumbuka maneno yake.
9 and returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
Wakaondoka kaburini, wakarudi; wakawaarifu wale kumi na mmoja na wengine wote habari za mambo hayo yote.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
Nao ni Mariamu Magdalene, na Yoana, na Mariamu mamaye Yakobo, na wale wanawake wengine waliokuwa pamoja nao;
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
hao waliwaambia mitume habari ya mambo hayo.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
Maneno yao yakaonekana kuwa kama upuzi kwao, wala hawakuwasadiki. Lakini Petro aliondoka akaenda mbio hata kaburini, akainama akachungulia ndani, akaviona vile vitambaa vya sanda tu; akaenda zake akiyastaajabia yaliyotukia.
On the Way to Emmaus
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
Na tazama, siku ile ile watu wawili miongoni mwao walikuwa wakienda kijiji kimoja, jina lake Emau, kilichokuwa mbali na Yerusalemu kama mwendo wa saa mbili.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
Nao walikuwa wakizungumza wao kwa wao habari za mambo hayo yote yaliyotukia.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
Ikawa katika kuzungumza na kuulizana kwao, Yesu mwenyewe alikaribia, akaandamana nao.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
Macho yao yakafumbwa wasimtambue.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
Akawaambia, Ni maneno gani haya mnayosemezana hivi mnapotembea? Wakasimama wamekunja nyuso zao.
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
Akajibu mmoja wao, jina lake Kleopa, akamwambia, Je! Wewe peke yako u mgeni katika Yerusalemu, hata huyajui yaliyotukia humo siku hizi?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
Akawauliza, Mambo gani? Wakamwambia, Mambo ya Yesu wa Nazareti, aliyekuwa mtu nabii, mwenye uwezo katika kutenda na kunena mbele za Mungu na watu wote;
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
tena jinsi wakuu wa makuhani na wakubwa wetu walivyomtia katika hukumu ya kufa, wakamsulibisha.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
Nasi tulikuwa tukitumaini ya kuwa yeye ndiye atakayewakomboa Israeli. Zaidi ya hayo yote, leo ni siku ya tatu tangu yalipotendeka mambo hayo;
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
tena, wanawake kadha wa kadha wa kwetu walitushitusha, waliokwenda kaburini asubuhi na mapema,
23 and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
wasiuone mwili wake; wakaja wakasema ya kwamba wametokewa na malaika waliosema kwamba yu hai.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
Na wengine waliokuwa pamoja nasi walikwenda kaburini wakaona vivyo hivyo kama wale wanawake walivyosema, ila yeye hawakumwona.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Akawaambia, Enyi msiofahamu, wenye mioyo mizito ya kuamini yote waliyoyasema manabii!
26 ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Je! Haikumpasa Kristo kupata mateso haya na kuingia katika utukufu wake?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Akaanza kutoka Musa na manabii wote, akawaeleza katika maandiko yote mambo yaliyomhusu yeye mwenyewe.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
Wakakikaribia kile kijiji walichokuwa wakienda, naye alifanya kama anataka kuendelea mbele.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
Wakamshawishi wakisema, Kaa pamoja nasi, kwa kuwa kumekuchwa, na mchana unakwisha. Akaingia ndani kukaa nao.
The Evening Meal
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it , and brake, and gave to them.
Ikawa alipokuwa ameketi nao chakulani, alitwaa mkate, akaubariki, akaumega, akawapa.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Yakafumbuliwa macho yao, wakamtambua; kisha akatoweka mbele yao.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
Wakaambiana, Je! Mioyo yetu haikuwaka ndani yetu hapo alipokuwa akisema nasi njiani, na kutufunulia maandiko?
Return to Jerusalem
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
Wakaondoka saa ile ile, wakarejea Yerusalemu, wakawakuta wale kumi na mmoja wamekutanika, wao na wale waliokuwa pamoja nao,
34 saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
wakisema, Bwana amefufuka kweli kweli, naye amemtokea Simoni.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
Nao waliwapa habari ya mambo yale ya njiani, na jinsi alivyotambulikana nao katika kuumega mkate.
Peace be unto you
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Na walipokuwa katika kusema habari hiyo, yeye mwenyewe alisimama katikati yao, akawaambia, Amani iwe kwenu.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
Wakashituka, wakaogopa sana, wakidhani ya kwamba wanaona roho.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Akawaambia, Mbona mnafadhaika? Na kwa nini mnaona shaka mioyoni mwenu?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Tazameni mikono yangu na miguu yangu, ya kuwa ni mimi mwenyewe. Nishikenishikeni, mwone; kwa kuwa roho haina mwili na mifupa kama mnavyoniona mimi kuwa nayo.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
Na baada ya kusema hayo aliwaonyesha mikono yake na miguu yake.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
Basi walipokuwa hawajaamini kwa furaha, huku wakistaajabu, aliwaambia, Mna chakula cho chote hapa?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
Wakampa kipande cha samaki wa kuokwa.
43 And he took it , and did eat before them.
Akakitwaa, akala mbele yao.
Ye are my witnesses
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Kisha akawaambia, Hayo ndiyo maneno yangu niliyowaambia nilipokuwa nikali pamoja nanyi, ya kwamba ni lazima yatimizwe yote niliyoandikiwa katika Torati ya Musa, na katika Manabii na Zaburi.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Ndipo akawafunulia akili zao wapate kuelewa na maandiko.
46 and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Akawaambia, Ndivyo ilivyoandikwa, kwamba Kristo atateswa na kufufuka siku ya tatu;
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
na kwamba mataifa yote watahubiriwa kwa jina lake habari ya toba na ondoleo la dhambi, kuanza tangu Yerusalemu.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
Nanyi ndinyi mashahidi wa mambo haya.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Na tazama, nawaletea juu yenu ahadi ya Baba yangu; lakini kaeni humu mjini, hata mvikwe uwezo utokao juu.
The Ascension
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
Akawaongoza mpaka Bethania, akainua mikono yake akawabariki.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Ikawa katika kuwabariki, alijitenga nao; akachukuliwa juu mbinguni.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
Wakamwabudu; kisha wakarudi Yerusalemu wenye furaha kuu.
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
Nao walikuwa daima ndani ya hekalu, wakimsifu Mungu.
