¹Now on the first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.

¹Alfajiri na mapema Jumapili, kukiwa bado na giza, Maria Magdalene alikwenda kaburini, akaliona lile jiwe limeondolewa mlangoni pa kaburi.

²She runneth therefore, 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 tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

²Basi, akaenda mbio hadi kwa Petro na yule mwanafunzi mwingine ambaye Yesu alimpenda, akawaambia, "Wamemwondoa Bwana kaburini, na wala hatujui walikomweka."

³Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

³Petro pamoja na yule mwanafunzi mwingine wakaenda kaburini.

⁴And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

⁴Wote wawili walikimbia lakini yule mwanafunzi mwingine alikimbia mbio zaidi kuliko Petro, akatangulia kufika kaburini.

⁵and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.

⁵Alipoinama na kuchungulia ndani, aliona sanda, lakini hakuingia ndani.

⁶Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,

⁶Simoni Petro naye akaja akimfuata, akaingia kaburini; humo akaona sanda,

⁷and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁷na kile kitambaa alichofungwa Yesu kichwani. Hicho kitambaa hakikuwekwa pamoja na hiyo sanda, bali kilikuwa kimekunjwa na kuwekwa mahali peke yake.

⁸Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

⁸Kisha yule mwanafunzi mwingine aliyemtangulia kufika kaburini, akaingia pia ndani, akaona, akaaamini.

⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

⁹(Walikuwa bado hawajaelewa Maandiko Matakatifu yaliyosema kwamba ilikuwa lazima afufuke kutoka wafu).

¹⁰So the disciples went away again unto their own home.

¹⁰Basi, hao wanafunzi wakarudi nyumbani.

¹¹But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

¹¹Maria alikuwa amesimama nje ya kaburi, akilia. Huku akiwa bado analia, aliinama na kuchungulia kaburini,

¹²and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹²akawaona malaika wawili waliovaa mavazi meupe, wameketi pale mwili wa Yesu ulipokuwa umelazwa, mmoja kichwani na wa pili miguuni.

¹³And 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.

¹³Hao malaika wakamwuliza, "Mama, kwa nini unalia?" Naye akawaambia, "Wamemwondoa Bwana wangu, na wala sijui walikomweka!"

¹⁴When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁴Baada ya kusema hayo, aligeuka nyuma, akamwona Yesu amesimama hapo, lakini asitambue ya kuwa ni Yesu.

¹⁵Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

¹⁵Yesu akamwuliza, "Mama, kwa nini unalia? Unamtafuta nani?" Maria, akidhani kwamba huyo ni mtunza bustani, akamwambia, "Mheshimiwa, kama ni wewe umemwondoa, niambie ulikomweka, nami nitamchukua."

¹⁶Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.

¹⁶Yesu akamwambia, "Maria!" Naye Maria akageuka, akamwambia kwa Kiebrania, "Raboni" (yaani "Mwalimu").

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

¹⁷Yesu akamwambia, "Usinishike; sijakwenda bado juu kwa Baba. Lakini nenda kwa ndugu zangu uwaambie: nakwenda juu kwa Baba yangu na Baba yenu, Mungu wangu na Mungu wenu."

¹⁸Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and [that] he had said these things unto her.

¹⁸Hivyo Maria Magdalene akaenda akawapa habari wale wanafunzi kuwa amemwona Bwana, na kwamba alikuwa amemwambia hivyo.

¹⁹When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

¹⁹Ilikuwa jioni ya siku hiyo ya Jumapili. Wanafunzi walikuwa wamekutana pamoja ndani ya nyumba, na milango ilikuwa imefungwa kwa sababu waliwaogopa viongozi wa Wayahudi. Basi, Yesu akaja, akasimama kati yao, akawaambia, "Amani kwenu!"

²⁰And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

²⁰Alipokwisha sema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono yake na ubavu wake. Basi, hao wanafunzi wakafurahi mno kumwona Bwana.

²¹Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

²¹Yesu akawaambia tena, "Amani kwenu! Kama vile Baba alivyonituma mimi, nami nawatuma ninyi."

²²And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:

²²Alipokwisha sema hayo, akawapulizia na kuwaambia, "Pokeeni Roho Mtakatifu.

²³whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

²³Mkiwasamehe watu dhambi zao, wamesamehewa; msipowaondolea, hawasamehewi."

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁴Thoma mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili (aitwaye Pacha), hakuwa pamoja nao wakati Yesu alipokuja.

²⁵The 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 hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁵Basi, wale wanafunzi wengine wakamwambia, "Tumemwona Bwana." Thoma akawaambia, "Nisipoona mikononi mwake alama za misumari, na kutia kidole changu katika kovu hizo, na kutia mkono wangu ubavuni mwake, sitasadiki."

²⁶And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.

²⁶Basi, baada ya siku nane hao wanafunzi walikuwa tena pamoja mle ndani, na Thoma alikuwa pamoja nao. Milango ilikuwa imefungwa, lakini Yesu akaja, akasimama kati yao, akasema, "Amani kwenu!"

²⁷Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

²⁷Kisha akamwambia Thoma, "Lete kidole chako hapa uitazame mikono yangu; lete mkono wako ukautie ubavuni mwangu. Usiwe na mashaka, ila amini!"

²⁸Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

²⁸Thoma akamjibu, "Bwana wangu na Mungu wangu!"

²⁹Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.

²⁹Yesu akamwambia, "Je, unaamini kwa kuwa umeniona? Heri yao wale ambao hawajaona, lakini wameamini."

³⁰Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:

³⁰Yesu alifanya mbele ya wanafunzi wake ishara nyingine nyingi ambazo hazikuandikwa katika kitabu hiki.

³¹but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.

³¹Lakini hizi zimeandikwa ili mpate kuamini kwamba Yesu ni Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu; na kwa kuamini mpate kuwa na uzima kwa nguvu ya jina lake.
