¹Jumapili, alfajiri na mapema, wale wanawake walikwenda kaburini wakichukua yale manukato waliyotayarisha.

¹But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

²Walikuta lile jiwe limeviringishwa mbali na kaburi.

²And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

³Walipoingia ndani, hawakuona mwili wa Bwana Yesu.

³And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

⁴Walipokuwa bado wanashangaa juu ya jambo hilo, mara watu wawili waliovaa mavazi yenye kung'aa sana, wakasimama karibu nao.

⁴And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:

⁵Hao wanawake wakaingiwa na hofu, wakainama chini. Ndipo wale watu wakawaambia, "Kwa nini mnamtafuta aliye hai kati ya wafu?

⁵and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

⁶Hayuko hapa; amefufuka. Kumbukeni aliyowaambieni alipokuwa kule Galilaya:

⁶He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

⁷Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu atolewe kwa watu waovu, nao watamsulubisha, na siku ya tatu atafufuka."

⁷saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

⁸Hapo wanawake wakayakumbuka maneno yake,

⁸And they remembered his words,

⁹wakarudi kutoka kaburini, wakawapa mitume wale kumi na mmoja na wengine habari za mambo hayo yote.

⁹and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

¹⁰Hao waliotoa habari hizo kwa mitume ni: Maria Magdalene, Yoana na Maria mama wa Yakobo, pamoja na wanawake wengine walioandamana nao.

¹⁰Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles.

¹¹Mitume waliyachukua maneno hayo kama yasiyo na msingi, hivyo hawakuamini.

¹¹And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.

¹²Lakini Petro alitoka, akaenda mbio hadi kaburini. Alipoinama kuchungulia ndani, akaiona tu ile sanda. Akarudi nyumbani huku akiwa anashangaa juu ya hayo yaliyotokea.

¹²But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

¹³Siku hiyohiyo, wawili kati ya wafuasi wake Yesu wakawa wanakwenda katika kijiji kimoja kiitwacho Emau, umbali wa kilomita kumi na moja kutoka Yerusalemu.

¹³And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.

¹⁴Wakawa wanazungumza juu ya hayo yote yaliyotukia.

¹⁴And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened.

¹⁵Walipokuwa wakizungumza na kujadiliana, Yesu mwenyewe akatokea, akatembea pamoja nao.

¹⁵And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

¹⁶Walimwona kwa macho, lakini hawakumtambua.

¹⁶But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

¹⁷Akawauliza, "Mnazungumza nini huku mnatembea?" Nao wakasimama kimya, nyuso zao wamezikunja kwa huzuni.

¹⁷And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad.

¹⁸Mmoja, aitwaye Kleopa, akamjibu, "Je, wewe ni mgeni peke yako Yerusalemu ambaye hujui yaliyotukia huko siku hizi?"

¹⁸And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days?

¹⁹Naye akawajibu, "Mambo gani?" Wao wakamjibu, "Mambo yaliyompata Yesu wa Nazareti. Yeye alikuwa nabii mwenye uwezo wa kutenda na kufundisha mbele ya Mungu na mbele ya watu wote.

¹⁹And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

²⁰Makuhani na watawala wetu walimtoa ahukumiwe kufa, wakamsulubisha.

²⁰and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

²¹Lakini sisi tulitumaini kwamba yeye ndiye angeikomboa Israeli. Zaidi ya hayo yote, leo ni siku ya tatu tangu mambo hayo yalipotendeka.

²¹But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.

²²Tena, wanawake wengine wa kwetu wametushtua. Walikwenda kaburini mapema asubuhi,

²²Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;

²³wasiukute mwili wake. Wakarudi wakasema kwamba walitokewa na malaika waliowaambia kwamba alikuwa hai.

²³and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

²⁴Wengine wetu walikwenda kaburini wakashuhudia yale waliyosema hao wanawake; ila yeye hawakumwona."

²⁴And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

²⁵Kisha Yesu akawaambia, "Mbona mu wapumbavu kiasi hicho na mioyo yenu ni mizito hivyo kusadiki yote yaliyonenwa na manabii?

²⁵And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁶Je, haikumpasa Kristo kuteswa, na hivyo aingie katika utukufu wake?"

²⁶Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁷Akawafafanulia mambo yote yaliyomhusu yeye katika Maandiko Matakatifu kuanzia Mose hadi manabii wote.

²⁷And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸Walipokikaribia kile kijiji walikokuwa wanakwenda, Yesu akafanya kana kwamba anaendelea na safari;

²⁸And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.

²⁹lakini wao wakamsihi wakisema, "Kaa pamoja nasi, maana kunakuchwa, na usiku unakaribia." Basi, akaingia kijijini, akakaa pamoja nao.

²⁹And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them.

³⁰Alipoketi kula chakula pamoja nao, akachukua mkate, akaubariki, akaumega, akawapa.

³⁰And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking [it] he gave to them.

³¹Mara macho yao yakafumbuliwa, wakamtambua; lakini yeye akatoweka kati yao.

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

³²Basi, wakaambiana, "Je, mioyo yetu haikuwa inawaka ndani yetu wakati alipokuwa anatufafanulia Maandiko Matakatifu kule njiani?"

³²And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?

³³Wakaondoka saa ileile, wakarudi Yerusalemu: wakawakuta wale mitume kumi na mmoja na wale wengine waliokuwa pamoja nao, wamekusanyika

³³And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

³⁴wakisema, "Hakika Bwana amefufuka, amemtokea Simoni."

³⁴saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

³⁵Basi, hao wafuasi wawili wakawajulisha yale yaliyowapata njiani, na jinsi walivyomtambua katika kumega mkate.

³⁵And they rehearsed the things [that happened] in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶Wanafunzi wote wawili walipokuwa wakiwaambia hayo, Yesu mwenyewe akasimama kati yao, akawaambia "Amani kwenu."

³⁶And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

³⁷Wakashtuka na kushikwa na hofu wakidhani wameona mzimu.

³⁷But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

³⁸Lakini yeye akawaambia, "Kwa nini mnafadhaika? Mbona mnakuwa na mashaka mioyoni mwenu?

³⁸And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?

³⁹Angalieni mikono na miguu yangu, ya kwamba ni mimi mwenyewe. Nipapaseni mkanione, maana mzimu hauna mwili na mifupa kama mnionavyo."

³⁹See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.

⁴⁰Baada ya kusema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono na miguu.

⁴⁰And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹Wakiwa bado katika hali ya kutosadiki kwa sababu ya furaha yao, na wakiwa wanastaajabu, akawauliza, "Mnacho chakula chochote hapa?"

⁴¹And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?

⁴²Wakampa kipande cha samaki wa kuokwa.

⁴²And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

⁴³Akakichukua, akala, wote wakimwona.

⁴³And he took it, and ate before them.

⁴⁴Halafu akawaambia, "Hii ndiyo maana ya maneno niliyowaambia nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi: kwamba ilikuwa lazima kukamilisha yote yaliyoandikwa juu yangu katika Sheria ya Mose na katika vitabu vya manabii na katika kitabu cha Zaburi."

⁴⁴And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.

⁴⁵Kisha, akaziangazia akili zao ili wapate kuelewa Maandiko Matakatifu.

⁴⁵Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;

⁴⁶Akawaambia, "Ndivyo ilivyoandikwa, kwamba Kristo atateswa na siku ya tatu atafufuka kutoka wafu,

⁴⁶and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;

⁴⁷na kwamba ni lazima, kwa jina lake, mataifa yote kuanzia na Yerusalemu yahubiriwe juu ya kutubu na kusamehewa dhambi.

⁴⁷and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸Ninyi ni mashahidi wa mambo hayo.

⁴⁸Ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹Nami mwenyewe nitawapelekeeni yule ambaye Baba aliahidi kumtuma, lakini ngojeni huku mjini mpaka mtakapopewa ile nguvu itokayo juu."

⁴⁹And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

⁵⁰Kisha akawaongoza nje ya mji hadi Bethania, akainua mikono yake juu, akawabariki.

⁵⁰And he led them out until [they were] over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹Alipokuwa anawabariki, akawaacha; akachukuliwa mbinguni.

⁵¹And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

⁵²Wao wakamwabudu, wakarudi Yerusalemu wakiwa na furaha kubwa:

⁵²And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

⁵³wakakaa muda wote Hekaluni wakimsifu Mungu.

⁵³and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
