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

¹Now late on the sabbath day, 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 an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.

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

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

⁴Zvino varindi vakadedera nekumutya, vakava sevakafa.

⁴and for fear of him the watchers did quake, 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, who hath been crucified.

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

⁶He is not here; for he is risen, even 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, He is risen from the dead; and lo, 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 tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

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

⁹And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.

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

¹⁰Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

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

¹¹Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.

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

¹²And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much 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 rid you of care.

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 was spread abroad among the Jews, [and continueth] until this day.

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

¹⁶But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the 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 to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth.

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

¹⁹Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

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

²⁰teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
