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

¹Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw 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.

²Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”

³Zvino Petro akabuda neumwe mudzidzi, vakasvika kuguva.

³Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

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

⁴They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

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

⁵Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn’t enter in.

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

⁶Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

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

⁷and the cloth that had been on 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;

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

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

⁹For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

¹⁰Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakabva vakaendazve kwavo.

¹⁰So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

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

¹¹But Mary was standing outside 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 saw 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.

¹³They told her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”

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

¹⁴When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know 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 said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

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

¹⁶Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.” !” which is to say, “Teacher or, Master !”

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 said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

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

¹⁸Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to 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 locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

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

²⁰When he had said this, he showed 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 to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

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

²²When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!

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

²³ If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”

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

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t 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 to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I 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.

²⁶After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace be to you.”

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

²⁷Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”

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

²⁸Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

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

²⁹Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, TR adds “ Thomas,” you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”

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

³⁰Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his 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 you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
