¹Shure kwesabata kotanga kuedza, koenda kumusi wekutanga wevhiki, kwakasvika Maria Magidharini neumwe Maria kuzoona guva.

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.

²Zvino tarira, kwakaitika kudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru, nekuti mutumwa waIshe wakaburuka kubva kudenga, akaswedera, akakungurusa ibwe kubva pamukova, akagara pamusoro paro.

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.

³Kuonekwa kwake kwakange kwakaita semheni nechipfeko chake chaiva chichena semagada echando.

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

⁴Zvino varindi vakadedera nekumutya, vakava sevakafa.

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

⁵Asi mutumwa akapindura akati kuvakadzi: Musatya imwi; nekuti ndinoziva kuti munotsvaka Jesu wakange arovererwa pamuchinjikwa.

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

⁶Haasi pano; nekuti wamuka sezvaakareva. Uyai muone nzvimbo Ishe paakange avete.

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

⁷Kurumidzai kuenda munoudza vadzidzi vake kuti wamuka kuvakafa; uye tarirai unokutungamirirai kuGarirea, ikoko muchanomuona; tarirai, ndakuudzai.

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.

⁸Ndokubva, vakakurumidza kubuda paguva vane kutya nemufaro mukuru, vakamhanyira kunoudza vadzidzi vake.

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

⁹Zvino vakati vachienda kunoudza vadzidzi vake, tarira, Jesu wakavachingamidza, achiti: Hekanhi! Vakaswedera vakabata tsoka dzake vakamunamata.

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.

¹⁰Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Musatya; endai, munoudza hama dzangu kuti vaende kuGarirea, uye vachanondionako.

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

¹¹Vakati vachifamba, tarira, vamwe vevarindi vakaenda muguta vakapira vapristi vakuru zvose zvakaitika.

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.

¹²Vakati vaungana nevakuru, vakarangana, vakapa mari zhinji kumauto,

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

¹³vachiti: Itii: Vadzidzi vake vakauya usiku vakamuba isu tirere.

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

¹⁴Kana izvi zvikazikamwa kumutungamiriri, isu tichamunyengerera, tikuitei musava mukushungurudzika.

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

¹⁵Ndokubva vatora mari vakaita sezvavakadzidziswa. Shoko iri rikaparadzirwa pakati pevaJudha kusvikira nhasi.

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

¹⁶Zvino vadzidzi gumi neumwe vakaenda kuGarirea, kugomo Jesu raakavaraira;

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

¹⁷vakati vachimuona, vakamunamata; asi vamwe vakakonona.

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

¹⁸Jesu ndokuswedera akataura kwavari, achiti: Simba rose rakapiwa kwandiri kudenga nepanyika.

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

¹⁹Endai naizvozvo muite marudzi ose vadzidzi, muchivabhabhatidza muzita raBaba nereMwanakomana nereMweya Mutsvene;

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

²⁰muvadzidzise kuchengeta zvose zvandakakurairai imwi; zvino tarirai, ini ndinemwi mazuva ose, kusvikira pakuguma kwenyika. Ameni.

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.
