The Resurrection
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Hata sabato ilipokwisha, ikipambazuka siku ya kwanza ya juma, Mariamu Magdalene, na Mariamu yule wa pili, walikwenda kulitazama kaburi.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Na tazama, palikuwa na tetemeko kubwa la nchi; kwa sababu malaika wa Bwana alishuka kutoka mbinguni, akaja akalivingirisha lile jiwe akalikalia.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
Na sura yake ilikuwa kama umeme, na mavazi yake meupe kama theluji.
4 and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men .
Na kwa kumwogopa, wale walinzi wakatetemeka, wakawa kama wafu.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Malaika akajibu, akawaambia wale wanawake, Msiogope ninyi; kwa maana najua ya kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu aliyesulibiwa.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Hayupo hapa; kwani amefufuka kama alivyosema. Njoni, mpatazame mahali alipolazwa.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
Nanyi nendeni upesi, mkawaambie wanafunzi wake, Amefufuka katika wafu. Tazama, awatangulia kwenda Galilaya; ndiko mtakakomwona. Haya, nimekwisha waambia.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
Wakaondoka upesi kutoka kaburini, kwa hofu na furaha nyingi, wakaenda mbio kuwapasha wanafunzi wake habari.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
Na tazama, Yesu akakutana nao, akisema, Salamu! Wakakaribia wakamshika miguu, wakamsujudia.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, Msiogope; enendeni, mkawaambie ndugu zangu waende Galilaya, ndiko watakakoniona.
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
Nao wale walipokuwa wakienda, tazama, baadhi ya askari waliingia mjini, wakawapasha wakuu wa makuhani habari za mambo yote yaliyotendeka.
12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
Wakakusanyika pamoja na wazee, wakafanya shauri, wakawapa askari fedha nyingi,
13 saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
wakisema, Semeni, ya kwamba wanafunzi wake walikuja usiku, wakamwiba, sisi tulipokuwa tumelala.
14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
Na neno hili likisikilikana kwa liwali, sisi tutasema naye, nanyi tutawaondolea wasiwasi.
15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
Basi wakazitwaa zile fedha, wakafanya kama walivyofundishwa. Na neno hilo likaenea kati ya Wayahudi hata leo.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
Na wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja wakaenda Galilaya mpaka mlima ule aliowaagiza Yesu.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Nao walipomwona, walimsujudia; lakini baadhi yao waliona shaka.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Yesu akaja kwao, akasema nao, akawaambia, Nimepewa mamlaka yote mbinguni na duniani.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Basi, enendeni, mkawafanye mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi, mkiwabatiza kwa jina la Baba, na Mwana, na Roho Mtakatifu;
20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
na kuwafundisha kuyashika yote niliyowaamuru ninyi; na tazama, mimi nipo pamoja nanyi siku zote, hata ukamilifu wa dahari.
