¹Zvino newekutanga wevhiki Maria Magidharini wakasvika mangwanani-ngwanani paguva, kuchakasviba, akaona ibwe rabviswa kubva paguva.

¹Now on the first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.

²Naizvozvo wakamhanya akauya kuna Simoni Petro nekune umwe mudzidzi Jesu waaida, ndokuti kwavari: Vabvisa Ishe muguva, uye hatizivi pavamuradzika.

²She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

³Zvino Petro akabuda neumwe mudzidzi, vakasvika kuguva.

³Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

⁴Zvino vakamhanya vari vaviri pamwechete; zvino umwe mudzidzi akamhanya kusiya Petro, akatanga kusvika paguva.

⁴And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

⁵Zvino akotama achidongorera, wakaona micheka yerineni yakawaridzwa, asi haana kupinda.

⁵and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.

⁶Zvino Simoni Petro akasvika achimutevera, akapinda muguva, akaona micheka yerineni yakawaridzwa,

⁶Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,

⁷nemucheka wekumeso wakange uri mumusoro make, usina kuwaridzwa nemicheka yerineni, asi wakapetwa uri pane imwe nzvimbo woga.

⁷and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁸Naizvozvo ipapo umwe mudzidzi wakatanga kusvika paguva akapindawo, akaona, akatenda;

⁸Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

⁹nekuti vakange vachigere kunzwisisisa rugwaro, kuti unofanira kumuka kuvakafa.

⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

¹⁰Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakabva vakaendazve kwavo.

¹⁰So the disciples went away again unto their own home.

¹¹Asi Maria wakamira kunze paguva achichema; zvino wakati achichema akakotama akadongorera muguva,

¹¹But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

¹²akaona vatumwa vaviri vane nguvo chena vagere, umwe kumusoro, neumwe kumakumbo, ipapo pakambenge parere mutumbi waJesu.

¹²and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³Ivo ndokuti kwaari: Mukadzi, unochemei? Akati kwavari: Nekuti vakabvisa Ishe wangu, zvino handizivi kwavakamuradzika.

¹³And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi akatendeukira kumashure, akaona Jesu amire, asi haana kuziva kuti ndiJesu.

¹⁴When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesu akati kwaari: Mukadzi, unochemei? Unotsvaka ani? Iye achifunga kuti ndiye murimi wemunda, akati kwaari: Ishe, kana imwi mamubvisa, ndiudzei pamamuradzika, uye ini ndichanomutora.

¹⁵Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

¹⁶Jesu akati kwaari: Maria! Iye akatendeuka akati kwaari: Rabhoni! ndiko kuti: Mudzidzisi.

¹⁶Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.

¹⁷Jesu akati kwaari: Usandibata, nekuti ndichigere kukwira kuna Baba vangu; asi enda kuvanin'ina vangu, uti kwavari: Ndinokwira kuna Baba vangu naBaba venyu, naMwari wangu naMwari wenyu.

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

¹⁸Maria Magidharini akauya ndokuudza vadzidzi kuti waona Ishe, uye wamuudza zvinhu izvi.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and [that] he had said these things unto her.

¹⁹Zvino ava madekwana nezuva iroro rekutanga revhiki, mikova yapfigwa pakange pakaungana vadzidzi nekutya vaJudha, Jesu akauya akamira pakati, akati kwavari: Rugare kwamuri.

¹⁹When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

²⁰Zvino wakati ataura izvi akavaratidza zvanza nerutivi rwake. Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakafara vachiona Ishe.

²⁰And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

²¹Naizvozvo Jesu akatizve kwavari: Rugare kwamuri; Baba sezvavakandituma, neni ndinokutumai.

²¹Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

²²Zvino wakati areva izvi akafuridzira kwavari, ndokuti kwavari: Gamuchirai Mweya Mutsvene.

²²And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:

²³Vose vamunokangamwira zvivi, vazvikangamwirwa; vose vamunobata zvavo zvabatwa.

²³whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴Asi Tomasi, umwe wevanegumi nevaviri, wainzi Dhidhimo, wakange asipo navo Jesu paakauya.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵Naizvozvo vamwe vadzidzi vakati kwaari: Taona Ishe. Asi iye wakati kwavari: Kana ndisingaoni vanga rembambo muzvanza zvake, nekuisa mumwe wangu muvanga rembambo, nekuisa ruoko rwangu murutivi rwake, handingatongotendi.

²⁵The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁶Zvino mushure memazuva masere vadzidzi vake vakange vari mukatizve, naTomasi anavo. Jesu akauya, mikova yakapfigwa, ndokumira pakati akati: Rugare kwamuri.

²⁶And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.

²⁷Ipapo akati kuna Tomasi: Uyisa mumwe wako pano uone zvanza zangu; uuyise ruoko rwako uise murutivi rwangu, usava usina rutendo, asi unotenda.

²⁷Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

²⁸Zvino Tomasi akapindura, akati kwaari: Ishe wangu naMwari wangu!

²⁸Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

²⁹Jesu akati kwaari: Nekuti wandiona, Tomasi, watenda; vakaropafadzwa vasina kuona asi vatenda.

²⁹Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.

³⁰Zvino zvirokwazvo Jesu wakaita zvimwe zviratidzo zvizhinji pamberi pevadzidzi vake, zvisina kunyorwa mubhuku iri.

³⁰Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:

³¹Asi izvi zvakanyorwa, kuti mutende kuti Jesu ndiKristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, uye kuti muchitenda muve neupenyu muzita rake.

³¹but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
