¹Baada ya Sabato, karibu na mapambazuko ya siku ile ya Jumapili, Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikwenda kutazama lile kaburi.

¹Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

²Ghafla kutatokea tetemeko kubwa la nchi; malaika wa Bwana alishuka kutoka mbinguni, akalivingirisha lile jiwe, akalikalia.

²Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.

³Alionekana kama umeme na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.

³His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

⁴Walinzi wa lile kaburi wakatetemeka kwa hofu kubwa, hata wakawa kama wamekufa.

⁴For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

⁵Lakini yule malaika akawaambia wale wanawake, "Ninyi msiogope! Najua kwamba mnamtafuta Yesu aliyesulubiwa.

⁵The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

⁶Hayupo hapa maana amefufuka kama alivyosema. Njoni mkaone mahali alipokuwa amelala.

⁶He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

⁷Basi, nendeni upesi mkawaambie wanafunzi wake kwamba amefufuka kutoka wafu, na sasa anawatangulieni kule Galilaya; huko mtamwona. Haya, mimi nimekwisha waambieni."

⁷Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”

⁸Wakiwa wenye hofu na furaha kubwa, hao wanawake walitoka upesi kaburini, wakakimbia kwenda kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.

⁸They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

⁹Mara, Yesu akakutana nao, akawasalimu: "Salamu." Hao wanawake wakamwendea, wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakashika miguu yake.

⁹As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

¹⁰Kisha Yesu akawaambia, "Msiogope! Nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu waende Galilaya, na huko wataniona."

¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

¹¹Wale wanawake walipokuwa wanakwenda zao, baadhi ya walinzi wa lile kaburi walikwenda mjini kutoa taarifa kwa makuhani wakuu juu ya mambo yote yaliyotukia.

¹¹Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

¹²Basi, wakakutana pamoja na wazee, na baada ya kushauriana, wakawapa wale askari kiasi kikubwa cha fedha

¹²When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

¹³wakisema, "Ninyi mtasema hivi: Wanafunzi wake walikuja usiku, wakamwiba sisi tukiwa tumelala.

¹³saying, “Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

¹⁴Na kama mkuu wa mkoa akijua jambo hili, sisi tutasema naye na kuhakikisha kuwa ninyi hamtapata matatizo."

¹⁴If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

¹⁵Wale walinzi wakazichukua zile fedha, wakafanya kama walivyofundishwa. Habari hiyo imeenea kati ya Wayahudi mpaka leo.

¹⁵So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.

¹⁶Wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja walikwenda Galilaya kwenye ule mlima aliowaagiza Yesu.

¹⁶But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

¹⁷Walipomwona, wakamwabudu, ingawa wengine walikuwa na mashaka.

¹⁷When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.

¹⁸Yesu akaja karibu, akawaambia, "Nimepewa mamlaka yote mbinguni na duniani.

¹⁸Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

¹⁹Nendeni basi, mkawafanye watu wa mataifa yote wawe wanafunzi wangu; mkiwabatiza kwa jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtakatifu.

¹⁹ Go, TR and NU add “therefore” and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

²⁰Wafundisheni kushika maagizo yote niliyowapeni. Nami nipo pamoja nanyi siku zote; naam, mpaka mwisho wa nyakati."

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
