¹Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at 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 an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.

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

³And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

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

⁴And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.

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

⁵And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not *ye*, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.

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 say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, 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 going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran 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 bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.

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

¹⁰Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

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

¹¹And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place.

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

¹²And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

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

¹³saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him [while] we [were] sleeping.

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

¹⁴And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, *we* will persuade him, and save *you* from all anxiety.

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

¹⁵And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day.

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

¹⁶But the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain which Jesus had appointed them.

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

¹⁷And when they saw him, they did homage to him: but some doubted.

¹⁷Walipomwona, wakamwabudu, ingawa wengine walikuwa na mashaka.

¹⁸And Jesus coming up spoke to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth.

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

¹⁹Go [therefore] and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

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 enjoined you. And behold, *I* am with you all the days, until the completion of the age.

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