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

¹When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

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

²Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

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

³They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

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

⁴for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

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

⁵Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.

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

⁶He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has 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, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”

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

⁸They went out, TR adds “quickly” and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

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

⁹Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

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

¹⁰She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

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

¹¹When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

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

¹²After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.

¹³Nao pia wakaenda wakawaambia wenzao. Hata hivyo hawakuamini.

¹³They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.

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 was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

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

¹⁵He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation.

¹⁶Anayeamini na kubatizwa ataokolewa; asiyeamini atahukumiwa.

¹⁶ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

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

¹⁷ These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

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

¹⁸ they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

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

¹⁹So then the Lord NA adds “Jesus” , after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

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

²⁰They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
