¹Baada ya siku ya Sabato, Maria Magdalene, Salome na Maria mama yake Yakobo walinunua manukato ili wakaupake mwili wa Yesu.

¹And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

²Basi, alfajiri na mapema siku ya Jumapili, jua lilipoanza kuchomoza, walienda kaburini.

²And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

³Nao wakawa wanaambiana, "Nani atakayetuondolea lile jiwe mlangoni mwa kaburi?"

³And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

⁴Lakini walipotazama, waliona jiwe limekwisha ondolewa. (Nalo lilikuwa kubwa mno.)

⁴And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

⁵Walipoingia kaburini, walimwona kijana mmoja aliyevaa vazi jeupe, ameketi upande wa kulia; wakashangaa sana.

⁵And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

⁶Lakini huyo kijana akawaambia, "Msishangae. Mnamtafuta Yesu wa Nazareti aliyesulubiwa. Amefufuka, hayumo hapa. Tazameni mahali walipokuwa wamemlaza.

⁶And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

⁷Nendeni mkawaambie wanafunzi wake pamoja na Petro ya kwamba anawatangulieni kule Galilaya. Huko mtamwona kama alivyowaambieni."

⁷But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

⁸Basi, wakatoka pale kaburini mbio, maana walitetemeka kwa hofu na kushangaa. Hawakumwambia mtu yeyote kitu, kwa sababu waliogopa mno.

⁸And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

⁹Yesu alipofufuka mapema Jumapili, alijionyesha kwanza kwa Maria Magdalene, ambaye Yesu alikuwa amemtoa pepo saba.

⁹Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

¹⁰Maria Magdalene akaenda, akawajulisha wale waliokuwa pamoja na Yesu, na wakati huo walikuwa wanaomboleza na kulia.

¹⁰And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

¹¹Lakini waliposikia ya kwamba Yesu yu hai na kwamba Maria Magdalene amemwona, hawakuamini.

¹¹And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

¹²Baadaye Yesu aliwatokea wanafunzi wawili akiwa na sura nyingine. Wanafunzi hao walikuwa wanakwenda shambani.

¹²After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

¹³Nao pia wakaenda wakawaambia wenzao. Hata hivyo hawakuamini.

¹³And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

¹⁴Mwishowe, Yesu aliwatokea wanafunzi kumi na mmoja walipokuwa pamoja mezani. Akawakemea sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao na ukaidi wao, maana hawakuwaamini wale waliokuwa wamemwona baada ya kufufuka.

¹⁴Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

¹⁵Basi, akawaambia, "Nendeni ulimwenguni kote mkahubiri Habari Njema kwa kila mtu.

¹⁵And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

¹⁶Anayeamini na kubatizwa ataokolewa; asiyeamini atahukumiwa.

¹⁶He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

¹⁷Na ishara hizi zitaandamana na wale wanaoamini: kwa jina langu watatoa pepo na watasema kwa lugha mpya.

¹⁷And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

¹⁸Wakishika nyoka au wakinywa kitu chochote chenye sumu, hakitawadhuru. Watawawekea wagonjwa mikono, nao watapona."

¹⁸They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

¹⁹Basi, Bwana Yesu alipokwisha sema nao, akachukuliwa mbinguni, akaketi upande wa kulia wa Mungu.

¹⁹So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

²⁰Wanafunzi wakaenda wakihubiri kila mahali. Bwana akafanya kazi pamoja nao na kuimarisha ujumbe huo kwa ishara zilizoandamana nao.

²⁰And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
