¹In 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.

¹Baada ya Sabato, karibu na mapambazuko ya siku ile ya Jumapili, Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikwenda kutazama lile kaburi.

²And, 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.

²Ghafla kutatokea tetemeko kubwa la nchi; malaika wa Bwana alishuka kutoka mbinguni, akalivingirisha lile jiwe, akalikalia.

³His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

³Alionekana kama umeme na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.

⁴And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

⁴Walinzi wa lile kaburi wakatetemeka kwa hofu kubwa, hata wakawa kama wamekufa.

⁵And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

⁵Lakini yule malaika akawaambia wale wanawake, "Ninyi msiogope! Najua kwamba mnamtafuta Yesu aliyesulubiwa.

⁶He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

⁶Hayupo hapa maana amefufuka kama alivyosema. Njoni mkaone mahali alipokuwa amelala.

⁷And 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.

⁷Basi, nendeni upesi mkawaambie wanafunzi wake kwamba amefufuka kutoka wafu, na sasa anawatangulieni kule Galilaya; huko mtamwona. Haya, mimi nimekwisha waambieni."

⁸And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

⁸Wakiwa wenye hofu na furaha kubwa, hao wanawake walitoka upesi kaburini, wakakimbia kwenda kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.

⁹And 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.

⁹Mara, Yesu akakutana nao, akawasalimu: "Salamu." Hao wanawake wakamwendea, wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakashika miguu yake.

¹⁰Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

¹⁰Kisha Yesu akawaambia, "Msiogope! Nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu waende Galilaya, na huko wataniona."

¹¹Now 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.

¹¹Wale wanawake walipokuwa wanakwenda zao, baadhi ya walinzi wa lile kaburi walikwenda mjini kutoa taarifa kwa makuhani wakuu juu ya mambo yote yaliyotukia.

¹²And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

¹²Basi, wakakutana pamoja na wazee, na baada ya kushauriana, wakawapa wale askari kiasi kikubwa cha fedha

¹³Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

¹³wakisema, "Ninyi mtasema hivi: Wanafunzi wake walikuja usiku, wakamwiba sisi tukiwa tumelala.

¹⁴And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

¹⁴Na kama mkuu wa mkoa akijua jambo hili, sisi tutasema naye na kuhakikisha kuwa ninyi hamtapata matatizo."

¹⁵So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

¹⁵Wale walinzi wakazichukua zile fedha, wakafanya kama walivyofundishwa. Habari hiyo imeenea kati ya Wayahudi mpaka leo.

¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

¹⁶Wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja walikwenda Galilaya kwenye ule mlima aliowaagiza Yesu.

¹⁷And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

¹⁷Walipomwona, wakamwabudu, ingawa wengine walikuwa na mashaka.

¹⁸And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

¹⁸Yesu akaja karibu, akawaambia, "Nimepewa mamlaka yote mbinguni na duniani.

¹⁹Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

¹⁹Nendeni basi, mkawafanye watu wa mataifa yote wawe wanafunzi wangu; mkiwabatiza kwa jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtakatifu.

²⁰Teaching 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.

²⁰Wafundisheni kushika maagizo yote niliyowapeni. Nami nipo pamoja nanyi siku zote; naam, mpaka mwisho wa nyakati."
