¹Alfajiri na mapema Jumapili, kukiwa bado na giza, Maria Magdalene alikwenda kaburini, akaliona lile jiwe limeondolewa mlangoni pa kaburi.

¹The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

²Basi, akaenda mbio hadi kwa Petro na yule mwanafunzi mwingine ambaye Yesu alimpenda, akawaambia, "Wamemwondoa Bwana kaburini, na wala hatujui walikomweka."

²Then she runneth, 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 sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

³Petro pamoja na yule mwanafunzi mwingine wakaenda kaburini.

³Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

⁴Wote wawili walikimbia lakini yule mwanafunzi mwingine alikimbia mbio zaidi kuliko Petro, akatangulia kufika kaburini.

⁴So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

⁵Alipoinama na kuchungulia ndani, aliona sanda, lakini hakuingia ndani.

⁵And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

⁶Simoni Petro naye akaja akimfuata, akaingia kaburini; humo akaona sanda,

⁶Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

⁷na kile kitambaa alichofungwa Yesu kichwani. Hicho kitambaa hakikuwekwa pamoja na hiyo sanda, bali kilikuwa kimekunjwa na kuwekwa mahali peke yake.

⁷And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

⁸Kisha yule mwanafunzi mwingine aliyemtangulia kufika kaburini, akaingia pia ndani, akaona, akaaamini.

⁸Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

⁹(Walikuwa bado hawajaelewa Maandiko Matakatifu yaliyosema kwamba ilikuwa lazima afufuke kutoka wafu).

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

¹⁰Basi, hao wanafunzi wakarudi nyumbani.

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

¹¹Maria alikuwa amesimama nje ya kaburi, akilia. Huku akiwa bado analia, aliinama na kuchungulia kaburini,

¹¹But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

¹²akawaona malaika wawili waliovaa mavazi meupe, wameketi pale mwili wa Yesu ulipokuwa umelazwa, mmoja kichwani na wa pili miguuni.

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

¹³Hao malaika wakamwuliza, "Mama, kwa nini unalia?" Naye akawaambia, "Wamemwondoa Bwana wangu, na wala sijui walikomweka!"

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.

¹⁴Baada ya kusema hayo, aligeuka nyuma, akamwona Yesu amesimama hapo, lakini asitambue ya kuwa ni Yesu.

¹⁴And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Yesu akamwuliza, "Mama, kwa nini unalia? Unamtafuta nani?" Maria, akidhani kwamba huyo ni mtunza bustani, akamwambia, "Mheshimiwa, kama ni wewe umemwondoa, niambie ulikomweka, nami nitamchukua."

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

¹⁶Yesu akamwambia, "Maria!" Naye Maria akageuka, akamwambia kwa Kiebrania, "Raboni" (yaani "Mwalimu").

¹⁶Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

¹⁷Yesu akamwambia, "Usinishike; sijakwenda bado juu kwa Baba. Lakini nenda kwa ndugu zangu uwaambie: nakwenda juu kwa Baba yangu na Baba yenu, Mungu wangu na Mungu wenu."

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

¹⁸Hivyo Maria Magdalene akaenda akawapa habari wale wanafunzi kuwa amemwona Bwana, na kwamba alikuwa amemwambia hivyo.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

¹⁹Ilikuwa jioni ya siku hiyo ya Jumapili. Wanafunzi walikuwa wamekutana pamoja ndani ya nyumba, na milango ilikuwa imefungwa kwa sababu waliwaogopa viongozi wa Wayahudi. Basi, Yesu akaja, akasimama kati yao, akawaambia, "Amani kwenu!"

¹⁹Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

²⁰Alipokwisha sema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono yake na ubavu wake. Basi, hao wanafunzi wakafurahi mno kumwona Bwana.

²⁰And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.

²¹Yesu akawaambia tena, "Amani kwenu! Kama vile Baba alivyonituma mimi, nami nawatuma ninyi."

²¹Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

²²Alipokwisha sema hayo, akawapulizia na kuwaambia, "Pokeeni Roho Mtakatifu.

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

²³Mkiwasamehe watu dhambi zao, wamesamehewa; msipowaondolea, hawasamehewi."

²³Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴Thoma mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili (aitwaye Pacha), hakuwa pamoja nao wakati Yesu alipokuja.

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

²⁵Basi, wale wanafunzi wengine wakamwambia, "Tumemwona Bwana." Thoma akawaambia, "Nisipoona mikononi mwake alama za misumari, na kutia kidole changu katika kovu hizo, na kutia mkono wangu ubavuni mwake, sitasadiki."

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 finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁶Basi, baada ya siku nane hao wanafunzi walikuwa tena pamoja mle ndani, na Thoma alikuwa pamoja nao. Milango ilikuwa imefungwa, lakini Yesu akaja, akasimama kati yao, akasema, "Amani kwenu!"

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

²⁷Kisha akamwambia Thoma, "Lete kidole chako hapa uitazame mikono yangu; lete mkono wako ukautie ubavuni mwangu. Usiwe na mashaka, ila amini!"

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

²⁸Thoma akamjibu, "Bwana wangu na Mungu wangu!"

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

²⁹Yesu akamwambia, "Je, unaamini kwa kuwa umeniona? Heri yao wale ambao hawajaona, lakini wameamini."

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

³⁰Yesu alifanya mbele ya wanafunzi wake ishara nyingine nyingi ambazo hazikuandikwa katika kitabu hiki.

³⁰And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

³¹Lakini hizi zimeandikwa ili mpate kuamini kwamba Yesu ni Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu; na kwa kuamini mpate kuwa na uzima kwa nguvu ya jina lake.

³¹But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
