Matthew 28
1 Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre.
Baada ya Sabato, karibu na mapambazuko ya siku ile ya Jumapili, Maria Magdalene na yule Maria mwingine walikwenda kutazama lile kaburi.
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
Ghafla kutatokea tetemeko kubwa la nchi; malaika wa Bwana alishuka kutoka mbinguni, akalivingirisha lile jiwe, akalikalia.
3 And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
Alionekana kama umeme na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.
4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.
Walinzi wa lile kaburi wakatetemeka kwa hofu kubwa, hata wakawa kama wamekufa.
5 And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.
Lakini yule malaika akawaambia wale wanawake, “Ninyi msiogope! Najua kwamba mnamtafuta Yesu aliyesulubiwa.
6 He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Hayupo hapa maana amefufuka kama alivyosema. Njoni mkaone mahali alipokuwa amelala.
7 And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.
Basi, nendeni upesi mkawaambie wanafunzi wake kwamba amefufuka kutoka wafu, na sasa anawatangulieni kule Galilaya; huko mtamwona. Haya, mimi nimekwisha waambieni.”
8 And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word.
Wakiwa wenye hofu na furaha kubwa, hao wanawake walitoka upesi kaburini, wakakimbia kwenda kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.
9 And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.
Mara, Yesu akakutana nao, akawasalimu: “Salamu.” Hao wanawake wakamwendea, wakapiga magoti mbele yake, wakashika miguu yake.
10 Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Msiogope! Nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu waende Galilaya, na huko wataniona.”
11 And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place.
Wale wanawake walipokuwa wanakwenda zao, baadhi ya walinzi wa lile kaburi walikwenda mjini kutoa taarifa kwa makuhani wakuu juu ya mambo yote yaliyotukia.
12 And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
Basi, wakakutana pamoja na wazee, na baada ya kushauriana, wakawapa wale askari kiasi kikubwa cha fedha
13 saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him [while] we [were] sleeping.
wakisema, “Ninyi mtasema hivi: Wanafunzi wake walikuja usiku, wakamwiba sisi tukiwa tumelala.
14 And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, we will persuade him, and save you from all anxiety.
Na kama mkuu wa mkoa akijua jambo hili, sisi tutasema naye na kuhakikisha kuwa ninyi hamtapata matatizo.”
15 And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day.
Wale walinzi wakazichukua zile fedha, wakafanya kama walivyofundishwa. Habari hiyo imeenea kati ya Wayahudi mpaka leo.
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain which Jesus had appointed them.
Wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja walikwenda Galilaya kwenye ule mlima aliowaagiza Yesu.
17 And when they saw him, they did homage to him: but some doubted.
Walipomwona, wakamwabudu, ingawa wengine walikuwa na mashaka.
18 And Jesus coming up spoke to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth.
Yesu akaja karibu, akawaambia, “Nimepewa mamlaka yote mbinguni na duniani.
19 Go [therefore] and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;
Nendeni basi, mkawafanye watu wa mataifa yote wawe wanafunzi wangu; mkiwabatiza kwa jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtakatifu.
