Maliko 16
1 Palyapite Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala ni che Salome ni che Maliamu achikulugwe che Yakobo ŵagasumile mauta gakununjila. Ŵajawile kukuchipakasya chiilu chi Che Yesu.
[On Saturday evening] when (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) had ended, Mary [from] Magdala, Mary the mother of the [younger] James, and Salome bought fragrant ointment. [The Jews had a custom of] anointing bodies [before they buried them, and the women wanted to follow this custom].
2 Kundaŵi pe, lyuŵa lyaandanda lya chijuma, lyuŵa lininkukopoka ŵaiche kumalembe.
So very early on Sunday, [just after] the sun rose, they [took the fragrant ointment] and started toward the tomb.
3 Nombewo paŵaliji mwitala ŵausyanaga, “Ana ŵaani juchakatugalambulile liganga pannango wa lilembe?”
[While they were going there], they were saying to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone [that blocks] the entrance of the tomb?”
4 Nambo paŵalolechesye, ŵaliweni liganga lyekulungwa nnope lila lili lyegalambulile pambali.
[After they arrived], they looked up and saw that the stone had [already] been rolled away {that someone had [already] rolled away the stone}. [They were surprised because it] would have been difficult to move such a huge stone.
5 Pele ŵajinjile mwilembe, ŵammweni jwanchanda jwawete chiwalo cheswela ali atemi kundyo ni ŵasimosile nnope.
They entered the tomb and saw [an angel who looked like] a young man. He was sitting at the right side [of the cave]. He was wearing a [shining] white robe. As a result, they were astonished.
6 Nambo jwanchanda jula ŵaasalile, “Kasinsimonga, nguimanyilila kuti nkunsosa Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti juŵammambile pa nsalaba. Nganapagwa pelepa, asyuchile. Nnole peuto paŵangoneche.
The young man said to them, “Do not be astonished! I [know that] you are looking for Jesus, the man from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross {whom they nailed to a cross}. But he has become alive again! He is not here! Look! [Here is] the place where they placed his [body].
7 Nambo ŵanyamwe njaule nkasalile che Petulo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵane kuti, ‘Che Yesu alongolele kwaula ku Galilaya. Kweleko chinkaawone mpela iŵatite pakunsalila.’”
But, instead [of remaining here], go and tell his disciples. Particularly [be sure] that you tell Peter. Tell them, ‘[Jesus] is going ahead of you to Galilee [district], and you will see him there, just like he told you [previously’]!”
8 Nipele, ŵatyosile kumalembe ali nkuutuka ni ali nkutetemela kwa lipamba ni kusimonga. Nganasala chindu chachili chose kwa mundu, pakuŵa ŵaliji nkogopanga kwannope.
The women went outside and ran from the tomb. They were trembling [because they were afraid], and they were astonished. But they did not say anything to anyone [about this] while they were going, because they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Che Yesu paŵasyuchile, kundaŵi pe, lyuŵa lyaandanda lya chijuma ŵankopochele kaje che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala, ajula jwaŵankopwesye masoka nsano ni gaŵili.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [When Jesus became alive [again] early on Sunday morning, he appeared first to Mary [from] Magdala [town]. She was the woman from whom he had [previously] expelled seven evil spirits.
10 Che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala, ŵajawile ni kwasalila aŵala ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu, katema ko ŵanyawo ŵaliji nkulila ni kulila kwa malumbo.
She went to those who had been with [Jesus], while they were mourning and crying. She told them [what she had seen].
11 Nambo paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu asyuchile ni kuti che Maliamu jwa musi wa Kumagidala ammweni, nganiŵakulupilila.
But when she told them that Jesus was alive again and that she had seen him, they refused to believe it.
12 Kanyuma kakwe Che Yesu ŵakopochele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵili ŵaŵaliji nkwaula mmisinda. Ni ŵakulijiganya wo, kundanda nganiŵaamanyilila.
Later [that day], Jesus appeared to two of [his disciples] while they were walking [from Jerusalem to their homes in] the [surrounding] area. [But they did not recognize him quickly because] he looked very different.
13 Nombewo ŵausile kukwasalila ŵakulijiganya achinjao, ni ŵanyawo nombe, nganiŵakulupilila iyoyo.
[After they recognized him], those two went back [to Jerusalem. They told his other followers what had happened], but they did not believe it.
14 Mbesi jakwe Che Yesu ŵaakopochele ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni jumo paŵaliji nkulya. Nipele, ŵaakalipile kwa ungakulupilila ni kukakatima kwa mitima jao, pakuŵa nganiŵakulupilila aŵala ŵaŵaweni ŵelewo pakumala kusyuka.
Later he appeared to the eleven [apostles] while they were eating. He rebuked them because they had stubbornly refused to believe [the reports of] those who saw him after he had become alive again.
15 Ni ŵaasalile, “Njaulanje pachilambo pose nkalalichile Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu wose.
[Later] he said to them, “Go into the whole world and preach the good message to everyone!
16 Mundu jwalijose juchakulupilile ni kubatiswa, Akunnungu chankulupusye. Nambo mundu jwangakukulupilila, Akunnungu chanlamule.
Everyone who believes [your message] and who is baptized will be saved {[God] will save}. But everyone who does not believe it will be condemned {[God] will condemn}.
17 Ni wose ŵachakulupilile chaitendekanye imanyisyo yanti, chagakoposye masoka kwa liina lyangu ni kuŵecheta chiŵecheto chasambano.
Those who believe [my good message] will perform miracles. Specifically, by my power they will expel evil spirits. They will speak in languages that they have not learned.
18 Akamulangaga majoka pane kung'wa chindu chachilichose chakuulaga, ngachaulaga. Chaachasajichila makono ŵakulwala, ni Akunnungu chiŵaalamye.”
If they pick up snakes [accidentally] or if they drink any poisonous [liquid accidentally], they will not be hurt. [Whenever] they put their hands on sick [people in order that God will heal them], those sick people will become well.”
19 Nipele, Ambuje Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta nawo, ŵajigalikwe kwaula kwinani, ni ŵatemi kunkono wa kundyo wa Akunnungu.
After the Lord Jesus had said this to [the disciples, he was taken] {[God] took him} up into heaven. Then he sat down on his throne beside God [to rule with him].
20 Nombe ŵakulijiganya ŵala, ŵajawile kukulalichila Ngani Jambone palipose. Ambuje ŵapangenye masengo pamo nawo ni kutendekanya imanyisyo yejinji, kulosya kuti utenga waukwagamba ŵelewo, uli isyene.
[As for the disciples], they went out [from Jerusalem, and then they preached everywhere. Wherever they went], the Lord enabled them to perform miracles. [By doing that], he showed people that God’s message is true.
