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

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

²Walikuta lile jiwe limeviringishwa mbali na kaburi.

²They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

³Walipoingia ndani, hawakuona mwili wa Bwana Yesu.

³They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.

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

⁴It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

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

⁵Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?

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

⁶He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still 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,

⁸They remembered his words,

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

⁹returned 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, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

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

¹¹These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe 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 got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

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

¹³Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia 60 stadia = about 11 kilometers or about 7 miles. from Jerusalem.

¹⁴Wakawa wanazungumza juu ya hayo yote yaliyotukia.

¹⁴They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

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

¹⁵It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

¹⁶Walimwona kwa macho, lakini hawakumtambua.

¹⁶But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

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

¹⁷He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”

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

¹⁸One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened 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.

¹⁹He said to them, “What things?” They said to 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 were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

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

²²Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

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

²³and when they didn’t find 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."

²⁴Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”

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

²⁵He said to them, “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?"

²⁶ Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”

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

²⁷Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

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

²⁸They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

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

²⁹They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.

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

³⁰It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

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

³¹Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

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

³²They said one to another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”

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

³³They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

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

³⁴saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”

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

³⁵They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

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

³⁶As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷Wakashtuka na kushikwa na hofu wakidhani wameona mzimu.

³⁷But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

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

³⁸He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

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

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰Baada ya kusema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono na miguu.

⁴⁰When 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?"

⁴¹While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴²Wakampa kipande cha samaki wa kuokwa.

⁴²They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³Akakichukua, akala, wote wakimwona.

⁴³He took them, and ate in front of 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."

⁴⁴He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

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

⁴⁵Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

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

⁴⁶He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise 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.

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

⁴⁸Ninyi ni mashahidi wa mambo hayo.

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

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

⁴⁹ Behold, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

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

⁵⁰He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹Alipokuwa anawabariki, akawaacha; akachukuliwa mbinguni.

⁵¹It happened, while he blessed them, that he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven.

⁵²Wao wakamwabudu, wakarudi Yerusalemu wakiwa na furaha kubwa:

⁵²They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵³wakakaa muda wote Hekaluni wakimsifu Mungu.

⁵³and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
