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

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.

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, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.

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

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

⁴Zvino varindi vakadedera nekumutya, vakava sevakafa.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

⁸And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran 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 bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁷vakati vachimuona, vakamunamata; asi vamwe vakakonona.

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

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

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

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

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;

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

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.
