Hata sabato ilipokwisha kupita, Mariamu Magdalene na Mariamu mamaye Yakobo, na Salome walinunua manukato wapate kwenda kumpaka.
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.
2
Hata alfajiri mapema, siku ya kwanza ya juma, wakaenda kaburini, jua lilipoanza kuchomoza;
Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.
3
wakasemezana wao kwa wao, Ni nani atakayetuvingirishia lile jiwe mlangoni pa kaburi?
They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”
4
Hata walipotazama, waliona ya kuwa lile jiwe limekwisha kuvingirishwa; nalo lilikuwa kubwa mno.
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.
5
Wakaingia kaburini wakaona kijana ameketi upande wa kuume, amevaa vazi jeupe; wakastaajabu.
When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6
Naye akawaambia, Msistaajabu; mnamtafuta Yesu Mnazareti, aliyesulibiwa; amefufuka; hayupo hapa; patazameni mahali walipomweka.
But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.
7
Lakini enendeni zenu, mkawaambie wanafunzi wake, na Petro, ya kwamba awatangulia kwenda Galilaya; huko mtamwona, kama alivyowaambia.
But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”
8
Wakatoka nje, wakakimbia kutoka kaburini; kwa maana wameingia tetemeko na ushangao; wala hawakumwambia mtu neno, maana waliogopa. [
So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.
9
Naye alipofufuka alfajiri siku ya kwanza ya juma, alimtokea kwanza Mariamu Magdalene, ambaye kwamba alimtoa pepo saba.
Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.
10
Huyo akashika njia akawapasha habari wale waliokuwa pamoja naye, nao wakali wanaomboleza na kulia.
She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.
11
Walakini hao waliposikia kama yu hai, naye amemwona, hawakusadiki.
And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.
12
Baada ya hayo akawatokea watu wawili miongoni mwao, ana sura nyingine; nao walikuwa wakishika njia kwenda shamba.
After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.
13
Na hao wakaenda zao wakawapa habari wale wengine; wala hao hawakuwasadiki.
And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
14
Baadaye akaonekana na wale kumi na mmoja walipokuwa wakila, akawakemea kwa kutokuamini kwao na ugumu wa mioyo yao, kwa kuwa hawakuwasadiki wale waliomwona alipofufuka katika wafu.
Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15
Akawaambia, Enendeni ulimwenguni mwote, mkaihubiri Injili kwa kila kiumbe.
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
16
Aaminiye na kubatizwa ataokoka; asiyeamini, atahukumiwa.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17
Na ishara hizi zitafuatana na hao waaminio; kwa jina langu watatoa pepo; watasema kwa lugha mpya;
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18
watashika nyoka; hata wakinywa kitu cha kufisha, hakitawadhuru kabisa; wataweka mikono yao juu ya wagonjwa, nao watapata afya.
they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”
19
Basi Bwana Yesu, baada ya kusema nao, akachukuliwa juu mbinguni, akaketi mkono wa kuume wa Mungu.
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20
Nao wale wakatoka, wakahubiri kotekote, Bwana akitenda kazi pamoja nao, na kulithibitisha lile neno kwa ishara zilizofuatana nalo.]
And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.
