The Resurrection
1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Hata siku ya kwanza ya juma Mariamu Magdalene alikwenda kaburini alfajiri, kungali giza bado; akaliona lile jiwe limeondolewa kaburini.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
Basi akaenda mbio, akafika kwa Simoni Petro na kwa yule mwanafunzi mwingine ambaye Yesu alimpenda, akawaambia, Wamemwondoa Bwana kaburini, wala hatujui walikomweka.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
Basi Petro akatoka, na yule mwanafunzi mwingine, wakashika njia kwenda kaburini.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
Wakaenda mbio wote wawili; na yule mwanafunzi mwingine akaenda mbio upesi kuliko Petro, akawa wa kwanza kufika kaburini.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in , saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
Akainama na kuchungulia, akaona vitambaa vya sanda vimelala; lakini hakuingia.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
Basi akaja na Simoni Petro, akaingia ndani ya kaburi; akavitazama vitambaa vilivyolala,
7 and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
na ile leso iliyokuwako kichwani pake; haikulala pamoja na vitambaa, bali imezongwa-zongwa mbali mahali pa peke yake.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
Basi ndipo alipoingia naye yule mwanafunzi mwingine aliyekuwa wa kwanza wa kufika kaburini, akaona na kuamini.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
Kwa maana hawajalifahamu bado andiko, ya kwamba imempasa kufufuka.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Basi wale wanafunzi wakaenda zao tena nyumbani kwao.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
Lakini Mariamu alikuwa akisimama karibu na kaburi, nje yake, analia. Basi akilia hivi, aliinama na kuchungulia ndani ya kaburi.
12 and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Akaona malaika wawili, wenye mavazi meupe, wameketi, mmoja kichwani na mmoja miguuni, hapo ulipolazwa mwili wake Yesu.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Nao wakamwambia, Mama, unalilia nini? Akawaambia, Kwa sababu wamemwondoa Bwana wangu, wala mimi sijui walikomweka.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Naye akiisha kusema hayo, akageuka nyuma, akamwona Yesu amesimama, asijue ya kuwa ni Yesu.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Yesu akamwambia, Mama, unalilia nini? Unamtafuta nani? Naye, huku akidhania ya kuwa ni mtunza bustani, akamwambia, Bwana, ikiwa umemchukua wewe, uniambie ulipomweka, nami nitamwondoa.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Yesu akamwambia, Mariamu. Yeye akageuka, akamwambia kwa Kiebrania, Raboni! (Yaani, Mwalimu wangu).
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Yesu akamwambia. Usinishike; kwa maana sijapaa kwenda kwa Baba. Lakini enenda kwa ndugu zangu ukawaambie, Ninapaa kwenda kwa Baba yangu naye ni Baba yenu, kwa Mungu wangu naye ni Mungu wenu.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
Mariamu Magdalene akaenda, akawapasha wanafunzi habari ya kwamba, Nimemwona Bwana, na ya kwamba amemwambia hayo.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Ikawa jioni, siku ile ya kwanza ya juma, pale walipokuwapo wanafunzi, milango imefungwa kwa hofu ya Wayahudi; akaja Yesu, akasimama katikati, akawaambia, Amani iwe kwenu.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
Naye akiisha kusema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono yake na ubavu wake. Basi wale wanafunzi wakafurahi walipomwona Bwana.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
Basi Yesu akawaambia tena, Amani iwe kwenu; kama Baba alivyonituma mimi, mimi nami nawapeleka ninyi.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them , and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Naye akiisha kusema hayo, akawavuvia, akawaambia, Pokeeni Roho Mtakatifu.
23 whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
Wo wote mtakaowaondolea dhambi, wameondolewa; na wo wote mtakaowafungia dhambi, wamefungiwa.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Walakini mmoja wa wale Thenashara, Tomaso, aitwaye Pacha, hakuwako pamoja nao alipokuja Yesu.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
Basi wanafunzi wengine wakamwambia, Tumemwona Bwana. Akawaambia, Mimi nisipoziona mikononi mwake kovu za misumari, na kutia kidole changu katika mahali pa misumari, na kutia mkono wangu katika ubavu wake, mimi sisadiki hata kidogo.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Basi, baada ya siku nane, wanafunzi wake walikuwamo ndani tena, na Tomaso pamoja nao. Akaja Yesu, na milango imefungwa, akasimama katikati, akasema, Amani iwe kwenu.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
Kisha akamwambia Tomaso, Lete hapa kidole chako; uitazame mikono yangu; ulete na mkono wako uutie ubavuni mwangu, wala usiwe asiyeamini, bali aaminiye.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Tomaso akajibu, akamwambia, Bwana wangu na Mungu wangu!
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Yesu akamwambia, Wewe, kwa kuwa umeniona, umesadiki; wa heri wale wasioona, wakasadiki.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
Basi kuna ishara nyingine nyingi alizozifanya Yesu mbele ya wanafunzi wake, zisizoandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
31 but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Lakini hizi zimeandikwa ili mpate kuamini ya kwamba Yesu ndiye Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu; na kwa kuamini mwe na uzima kwa jina lake.
