¹But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.

¹Jumapili, alfajiri na mapema, wale wanawake walikwenda kaburini wakichukua yale manukato waliyotayarisha.

²And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

²Walikuta lile jiwe limeviringishwa mbali na kaburi.

³And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

³Walipoingia ndani, hawakuona mwili wa Bwana Yesu.

⁴And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.

⁴Walipokuwa bado wanashangaa juu ya jambo hilo, mara watu wawili waliovaa mavazi yenye kung'aa sana, wakasimama karibu nao.

⁵And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?

⁵Hao wanawake wakaingiwa na hofu, wakainama chini. Ndipo wale watu wakawaambia, "Kwa nini mnamtafuta aliye hai kati ya wafu?

⁶He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,

⁶Hayuko hapa; amefufuka. Kumbukeni aliyowaambieni alipokuwa kule Galilaya:

⁷saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.

⁷Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu atolewe kwa watu waovu, nao watamsulubisha, na siku ya tatu atafufuka."

⁸And they remembered his words;

⁸Hapo wanawake wakayakumbuka maneno yake,

⁹and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

⁹wakarudi kutoka kaburini, wakawapa mitume wale kumi na mmoja na wengine habari za mambo hayo yote.

¹⁰Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.

¹⁰Hao waliotoa habari hizo kwa mitume ni: Maria Magdalene, Yoana na Maria mama wa Yakobo, pamoja na wanawake wengine walioandamana nao.

¹¹And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.

¹¹Mitume waliyachukua maneno hayo kama yasiyo na msingi, hivyo hawakuamini.

¹²But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.

¹²Lakini Petro alitoka, akaenda mbio hadi kaburini. Alipoinama kuchungulia ndani, akaiona tu ile sanda. Akarudi nyumbani huku akiwa anashangaa juu ya hayo yaliyotokea.

¹³And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus;

¹³Siku hiyohiyo, wawili kati ya wafuasi wake Yesu wakawa wanakwenda katika kijiji kimoja kiitwacho Emau, umbali wa kilomita kumi na moja kutoka Yerusalemu.

¹⁴and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place.

¹⁴Wakawa wanazungumza juu ya hayo yote yaliyotukia.

¹⁵And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them;

¹⁵Walipokuwa wakizungumza na kujadiliana, Yesu mwenyewe akatokea, akatembea pamoja nao.

¹⁶but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.

¹⁶Walimwona kwa macho, lakini hawakumtambua.

¹⁷And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?

¹⁷Akawauliza, "Mnazungumza nini huku mnatembea?" Nao wakasimama kimya, nyuso zao wamezikunja kwa huzuni.

¹⁸And one [of them], named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?

¹⁸Mmoja, aitwaye Kleopa, akamjibu, "Je, wewe ni mgeni peke yako Yerusalemu ambaye hujui yaliyotukia huko siku hizi?"

¹⁹And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

¹⁹Naye akawajibu, "Mambo gani?" Wao wakamjibu, "Mambo yaliyompata Yesu wa Nazareti. Yeye alikuwa nabii mwenye uwezo wa kutenda na kufundisha mbele ya Mungu na mbele ya watu wote.

²⁰and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to [the] judgment of death and crucified him.

²⁰Makuhani na watawala wetu walimtoa ahukumiwe kufa, wakamsulubisha.

²¹But *we* had hoped that *he* was [the one] who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place.

²¹Lakini sisi tulitumaini kwamba yeye ndiye angeikomboa Israeli. Zaidi ya hayo yote, leo ni siku ya tatu tangu mambo hayo yalipotendeka.

²²And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre,

²²Tena, wanawake wengine wa kwetu wametushtua. Walikwenda kaburini mapema asubuhi,

²³and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living.

²³wasiukute mwili wake. Wakarudi wakasema kwamba walitokewa na malaika waliowaambia kwamba alikuwa hai.

²⁴And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.

²⁴Wengine wetu walikwenda kaburini wakashuhudia yale waliyosema hao wanawake; ila yeye hawakumwona."

²⁵And *he* said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁵Kisha Yesu akawaambia, "Mbona mu wapumbavu kiasi hicho na mioyo yenu ni mizito hivyo kusadiki yote yaliyonenwa na manabii?

²⁶Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?

²⁶Je, haikumpasa Kristo kuteswa, na hivyo aingie katika utukufu wake?"

²⁷And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁷Akawafafanulia mambo yote yaliyomhusu yeye katika Maandiko Matakatifu kuanzia Mose hadi manabii wote.

²⁸And they drew near to the village where they were going, and *he* made as though he would go farther.

²⁸Walipokikaribia kile kijiji walikokuwa wanakwenda, Yesu akafanya kana kwamba anaendelea na safari;

²⁹And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.

²⁹lakini wao wakamsihi wakisema, "Kaa pamoja nasi, maana kunakuchwa, na usiku unakaribia." Basi, akaingia kijijini, akakaa pamoja nao.

³⁰And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.

³⁰Alipoketi kula chakula pamoja nao, akachukua mkate, akaubariki, akaumega, akawapa.

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.

³¹Mara macho yao yakafumbuliwa, wakamtambua; lakini yeye akatoweka kati yao.

³²And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, [and] as he opened the scriptures to us?

³²Basi, wakaambiana, "Je, mioyo yetu haikuwa inawaka ndani yetu wakati alipokuwa anatufafanulia Maandiko Matakatifu kule njiani?"

³³And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together,

³³Wakaondoka saa ileile, wakarudi Yerusalemu: wakawakuta wale mitume kumi na mmoja na wale wengine waliokuwa pamoja nao, wamekusanyika

³⁴saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon.

³⁴wakisema, "Hakika Bwana amefufuka, amemtokea Simoni."

³⁵And they related what [had happened] on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

³⁵Basi, hao wafuasi wawili wakawajulisha yale yaliyowapata njiani, na jinsi walivyomtambua katika kumega mkate.

³⁶And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace [be] unto you.

³⁶Wanafunzi wote wawili walipokuwa wakiwaambia hayo, Yesu mwenyewe akasimama kati yao, akawaambia "Amani kwenu."

³⁷But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit.

³⁷Wakashtuka na kushikwa na hofu wakidhani wameona mzimu.

³⁸And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts?

³⁸Lakini yeye akawaambia, "Kwa nini mnafadhaika? Mbona mnakuwa na mashaka mioyoni mwenu?

³⁹behold my hands and my feet, that it is *I* myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having.

³⁹Angalieni mikono na miguu yangu, ya kwamba ni mimi mwenyewe. Nipapaseni mkanione, maana mzimu hauna mwili na mifupa kama mnionavyo."

⁴⁰And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet.

⁴⁰Baada ya kusema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono na miguu.

⁴¹But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

⁴¹Wakiwa bado katika hali ya kutosadiki kwa sababu ya furaha yao, na wakiwa wanastaajabu, akawauliza, "Mnacho chakula chochote hapa?"

⁴²And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb;

⁴²Wakampa kipande cha samaki wa kuokwa.

⁴³and he took it and ate before them.

⁴³Akakichukua, akala, wote wakimwona.

⁴⁴And he said to them, These [are] the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.

⁴⁴Halafu akawaambia, "Hii ndiyo maana ya maneno niliyowaambia nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi: kwamba ilikuwa lazima kukamilisha yote yaliyoandikwa juu yangu katika Sheria ya Mose na katika vitabu vya manabii na katika kitabu cha Zaburi."

⁴⁵Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,

⁴⁵Kisha, akaziangazia akili zao ili wapate kuelewa Maandiko Matakatifu.

⁴⁶and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day;

⁴⁶Akawaambia, "Ndivyo ilivyoandikwa, kwamba Kristo atateswa na siku ya tatu atafufuka kutoka wafu,

⁴⁷and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁷na kwamba ni lazima, kwa jina lake, mataifa yote kuanzia na Yerusalemu yahubiriwe juu ya kutubu na kusamehewa dhambi.

⁴⁸And *ye* are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁸Ninyi ni mashahidi wa mambo hayo.

⁴⁹And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high.

⁴⁹Nami mwenyewe nitawapelekeeni yule ambaye Baba aliahidi kumtuma, lakini ngojeni huku mjini mpaka mtakapopewa ile nguvu itokayo juu."

⁵⁰And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.

⁵⁰Kisha akawaongoza nje ya mji hadi Bethania, akainua mikono yake juu, akawabariki.

⁵¹And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.

⁵¹Alipokuwa anawabariki, akawaacha; akachukuliwa mbinguni.

⁵²And *they*, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵²Wao wakamwabudu, wakarudi Yerusalemu wakiwa na furaha kubwa:

⁵³and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.

⁵³wakakaa muda wote Hekaluni wakimsifu Mungu.
