¹Sabata rakati rapfuura, Maria Magidharini, naMaria mai vaJakobho, naSarome vakatenga zvinonhuhwira, kuti vaende kunomuzodza.

¹And the sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint him,

²Mangwanani-ngwanani kwazvo nomusi wokutanga wevhiki vakaenda kuguva, zuva robuda.

²and early in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, they come unto the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun,

³Vakati pakati pavo: Ndiani uchatikungurusira ibwe kubva pamukova weguva?

³and they said among themselves, `Who shall roll away for us the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?`

⁴Zvino vakati vachitarira, vakaona kuti ibwe rakange ratokunguruswa, nekuti raiva guru-guru.

⁴And having looked, they see that the stone hath been rolled away — for it was very great,

⁵Zvino vakati vachipinda muguva, vakaona jaya rakange rigere kurudyi, rakapfeka nguvo chena yakareba; vakavhunduka;

⁵and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.

⁶rikati kwavari: Musavhunduka; munotsvaka Jesu muNazareta wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa; wamuka, haasi pano; tarirai panzvimbo pavakange vamuradzika.

⁶And he saith to them, `Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise — he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!

⁷Asi endai, mundoudza vadzidzi vake naPetro kuti unokutungamirirai kuGarirea, muchandomuonako sezvaakakuudzai.

⁷and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.`

⁸Vakabuda nekukurumidza vakatiza paguva; uyezve kudedera nekuvhunduka kwakavabata; vakasataura chinhu kuna ani zvake, nekuti vakange vachitya.

⁸And, having come forth quickly, they fled from the sepulchre, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and to no one said they anything, for they were afraid.

⁹Zvino Jesu wakati amuka mangwanani-ngwanani newokutanga wevhiki, wakaonekwa pakutanga kuna Maria Magidharini, waakabudisa kwaari madhimoni manomwe.

⁹And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons;

¹⁰Iye akaenda akaudza avo vaiva naye, pavaichema vachirira.

¹⁰she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping;

¹¹Naivo vanzwa kuti mupenyu, uye kuti wakange aonekwa naye, havana kutenda.

¹¹and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.

¹²Shure kweizvozvo wakazviratidza nechimwe chimiro kuvaviri vavo vachifamba, vachienda muruwa.

¹²And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form,

¹³Ivowo vakaenda, vakaudza vakange vasara; naivo vakasavatenda.

¹³and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.

¹⁴Pashure wakazviratidza kune vanegumi neumwe vagere pakudya, akamhura kusatenda kwavo neukukutu hwemoyo, nekuti havana kutenda vaya vakange vamuona amuka.

¹⁴Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;

¹⁵Akati kwavari: Endai munyika yose muparidze evhangeri kuchisikwa choga-choga.

¹⁵and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;

¹⁶Uyo unotenda akabhabhatidzwa uchaponeswa; asi usingatendi uchapiwa mhosva.

¹⁶he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

¹⁷Zviratidzo izvi zvichavatevera vanotenda: Muzita rangu vachabudisa madhimoni, vachataura nendimi itsva;

¹⁷`And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak;

¹⁸vachanonga nyoka; kunyange vakamwa chero chinhu chinouraya, hachingatongovakuvadzi; vachaisa maoko pavarwere, vakapora.

¹⁸serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.`

¹⁹Naizvozvo Ishe shure kwekunge ataura kwavari, akagamuchirwa kumusoro kudenga, akagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari.

¹⁹The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;

²⁰Ivo vakabuda, vakaparidza kose-kose, Ishe achibata navo, achisimbisa shoko nezviratidzo zvaitevera. Amen.

²⁰and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.
