¹And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees 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 runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to 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 came to the tomb.

³Petro pamoja na yule mwanafunzi mwingine wakaenda kaburini.

⁴And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

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

⁵and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.

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

⁶Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,

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

⁷and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct 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 they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.

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

¹⁰The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.

¹⁰Basi, hao wanafunzi wakarudi nyumbani.

¹¹But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,

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

¹²and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], 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 to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to 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!"

¹⁴Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.

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

¹⁵Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to 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 says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

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

¹⁷Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] 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 of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to 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, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to 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 having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.

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

²¹[Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.

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

²²And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

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

²³whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to 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 to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark 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 eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace [be] to 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 he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, 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 to him, My Lord and my God.

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

²⁹Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.

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

³⁰Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his 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 might 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.
