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

¹Sabata rakati rapfuura, Maria Magidharini, naMaria mai vaJakobho, naSarome vakatenga zvinonhuhwira, kuti vaende kunomuzodza.

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

²Mangwanani-ngwanani kwazvo nomusi wokutanga wevhiki vakaenda kuguva, zuva robuda.

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

³Vakati pakati pavo: Ndiani uchatikungurusira ibwe kubva pamukova weguva?

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

⁴Zvino vakati vachitarira, vakaona kuti ibwe rakange ratokunguruswa, nekuti raiva guru-guru.

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

⁵Zvino vakati vachipinda muguva, vakaona jaya rakange rigere kurudyi, rakapfeka nguvo chena yakareba; vakavhunduka;

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!

⁶rikati kwavari: Musavhunduka; munotsvaka Jesu muNazareta wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa; wamuka, haasi pano; tarirai panzvimbo pavakange vamuradzika.

⁷But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”

⁷Asi endai, mundoudza vadzidzi vake naPetro kuti unokutungamirirai kuGarirea, muchandomuonako sezvaakakuudzai.

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.

⁸Vakabuda nekukurumidza vakatiza paguva; uyezve kudedera nekuvhunduka kwakavabata; vakasataura chinhu kuna ani zvake, nekuti vakange vachitya.

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.

⁹Zvino Jesu wakati amuka mangwanani-ngwanani newokutanga wevhiki, wakaonekwa pakutanga kuna Maria Magidharini, waakabudisa kwaari madhimoni manomwe.

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

¹⁰Iye akaenda akaudza avo vaiva naye, pavaichema vachirira.

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

¹¹Naivo vanzwa kuti mupenyu, uye kuti wakange aonekwa naye, havana kutenda.

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

¹²Shure kweizvozvo wakazviratidza nechimwe chimiro kuvaviri vavo vachifamba, vachienda muruwa.

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

¹³Ivowo vakaenda, vakaudza vakange vasara; naivo vakasavatenda.

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.

¹⁴Pashure wakazviratidza kune vanegumi neumwe vagere pakudya, akamhura kusatenda kwavo neukukutu hwemoyo, nekuti havana kutenda vaya vakange vamuona amuka.

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

¹⁵Akati kwavari: Endai munyika yose muparidze evhangeri kuchisikwa choga-choga.

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

¹⁶Uyo unotenda akabhabhatidzwa uchaponeswa; asi usingatendi uchapiwa mhosva.

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

¹⁷Zviratidzo izvi zvichavatevera vanotenda: Muzita rangu vachabudisa madhimoni, vachataura nendimi itsva;

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.”

¹⁸vachanonga nyoka; kunyange vakamwa chero chinhu chinouraya, hachingatongovakuvadzi; vachaisa maoko pavarwere, vakapora.

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.

¹⁹Naizvozvo Ishe shure kwekunge ataura kwavari, akagamuchirwa kumusoro kudenga, akagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari.

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

²⁰Ivo vakabuda, vakaparidza kose-kose, Ishe achibata navo, achisimbisa shoko nezviratidzo zvaitevera. Amen.
