< John 20 >

1 Nowe the first day of the weeke came Marie Magdalene, early when it was yet darke, vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken away from the tombe.
Zvino newekutanga wevhiki Maria Magidharini wakasvika mangwanani-ngwanani paguva, kuchakasviba, akaona ibwe rabviswa kubva paguva.
2 Then she ranne, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Iesus loued, and saide vnto them, They haue taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we knowe not where they haue laid him.
Naizvozvo wakamhanya akauya kuna Simoni Petro nekune umwe mudzidzi Jesu waaida, ndokuti kwavari: Vabvisa Ishe muguva, uye hatizivi pavamuradzika.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they came vnto the sepulchre.
Zvino Petro akabuda neumwe mudzidzi, vakasvika kuguva.
4 So they ranne both together, but the other disciple did outrunne Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
Zvino vakamhanya vari vaviri pamwe chete; zvino umwe mudzidzi akamhanya kusiya Petro, akatanga kusvika paguva.
5 And he stouped downe, and sawe the linnen clothes lying: yet went he not in.
Zvino akotama achidongorera, wakaona micheka yerineni yakawaridzwa, asi haana kupinda.
6 Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and sawe the linnen clothes lye,
Zvino Simoni Petro akasvika achimutevera, akapinda muguva, akaona micheka yerineni yakawaridzwa,
7 And the kerchiefe that was vpon his head, not lying with the linnen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it selfe.
nemucheka wekumeso wakange uri mumusoro make, usina kuwaridzwa nemicheka yerineni, asi wakapetwa uri pane imwe nzvimbo wega.
8 Then went in also the other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he sawe it, and beleeued.
Naizvozvo ipapo umwe mudzidzi wakatanga kusvika paguva akapindawo, akaona, akatenda;
9 For as yet they knewe not the Scripture, That he must rise againe from the dead.
nokuti vakange vachigere kunzwisisisa rugwaro, kuti anofanira kumuka kubva kuvakafa.
10 And the disciples went away againe vnto their owne home.
Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakabva vakaendazve kwavo.
11 But Marie stoode without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she bowed her selfe into the sepulchre,
Asi Maria wakamira kunze paguva achichema; zvino wakati achichema akakotama akadongorera muguva,
12 And sawe two Angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feete, where the body of Iesus had laien.
akaona vatumwa vaviri vane nguvo chena vagere, umwe kumusoro, neumwe kutsoka, ipapo pakambenge parere mutumbi waJesu.
13 And they said vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She said vnto them, They haue taken away my Lord, and I know not where they haue laide him.
Ivo ndokuti kwaari: Mukadzi, unochemei? Akati kwavari: Nokuti vakabvisa Ishe wangu, zvino handizivi kwavakamuradzika.
14 When she had thus said, she turned her selfe backe, and sawe Iesus standing, and knewe not that it was Iesus.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi akatendeukira kumashure, akaona Jesu amire, asi haana kuziva kuti ndiJesu.
15 Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She supposing that he had bene the gardener, said vnto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Jesu akati kwaari: Mukadzi, unochemei? Unotsvaka ani? Iye achifunga kuti ndiye murimi wemunda, akati kwaari: Ishe, kana imwi mamubvisa, ndiudzei pamamuradzika, uye ini ndichanomutora.
16 Iesus saith vnto her, Marie. She turned her selfe, and said vnto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
Jesu akati kwaari: Maria! Iye akatendeuka akati kwaari: Rabhoni! ndiko kuti: Mudzidzisi.
17 Iesus saith vnto her, Touch me not: for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but goe to my brethren, and say vnto them, I ascend vnto my Father, and to your Father, and to my God, and your God.
Jesu akati kwaari: Usandibata, nokuti ndichigere kukwira kuna Baba vangu; asi enda kuvanin'ina vangu, uti kwavari: Ndinokwira kuna Baba vangu naBaba venyu, naMwari wangu naMwari wenyu.
18 Marie Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seene the Lord, and that he had spoken these things vnto her.
Maria Magidharini akauya ndokuudza vadzidzi kuti waona Ishe, uye wamuudza zvinhu izvi.
19 The same day then at night, which was the first day of the weeke, and when the doores were shut where the disciples were assembled for feare of the Iewes, came Iesus and stoode in the middes, and saide to them, Peace be vnto you.
Zvino ava madekwani nezuva iroro rekutanga revhiki, mikova yapfigwa pakange pakaungana vadzidzi nekutya VaJudha, Jesu akauya akamira pakati, akati kwavari: Rugare kwamuri.
20 And when he had so saide, he shewed vnto them his handes, and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they had seene the Lord.
Zvino wakati ataura izvi akavaratidza zvanza nerutivi rwake. Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakafara vachiona Ishe.
21 Then saide Iesus to them againe, Peace be vnto you: as my Father sent me, so sende I you.
Naizvozvo Jesu akatizve kwavari: Rugare kwamuri; Baba sezvavakandituma, neni ndinokutumai.
22 And when he had saide that, he breathed on them, and saide vnto them, Receiue the holy Ghost.
Zvino wakati areva izvi akafuridzira kwavari, ndokuti kwavari: Gamuchirai Mweya Mutsvene.
23 Whosoeuers sinnes ye remit, they are remitted vnto them: and whosoeuers sinnes ye reteine, they are reteined.
Ani nani wamunokanganwira zvivi, vazvikanganwirwa; vese vamunobata zvavo zvabatwa.
24 But Thomas one of the twelue, called Didymus, was not with them when Iesus came.
Asi Tomasi, umwe wevanegumi nevaviri, wainzi Dhidhimo, wakange asipo navo Jesu paakauya.
25 The other disciples therefore saide vnto him, We haue seene the Lord: but he said vnto them, Except I see in his handes the print of the nailes, and put my finger into the print of the nailes, and put mine hand into his side, I will not beleeue it.
Naizvozvo vamwe vadzidzi vakati kwaari: Taona Ishe. Asi iye wakati kwavari: Kana ndisingaoni vanga rembambo muzvanza zvake, nekuisa munwe wangu muvanga rembambo, nekuisa ruoko rwangu murutivi rwake, handingatongotendi.
26 And eight dayes after, againe his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Then came Iesus, when the doores were shut, and stood in the middes, and said, Peace be vnto you.
Zvino mushure memazuva masere vadzidzi vake vakange vari mukatizve, naTomasi anavo. Jesu akauya, mikova yakapfigwa, ndokumira pakati akati: Rugare kwamuri.
27 After saide he to Thomas, Put thy finger here, and see mine hands, and put forth thine hand, and put it into my side, and be not faithlesse, but faithfull.
Ipapo akati kuna Tomasi: Uisa munwe wako pano uone zvanza zangu; uuise ruoko rwako uise murutivi rwangu, usava usingatendi, asi unotenda.
28 Then Thomas answered, and said vnto him, Thou art my Lord, and my God.
Zvino Tomasi akapindura, akati kwaari: Ishe wangu naMwari wangu!
29 Iesus said vnto him, Thomas, because thou hast seene me, thou beleeuest: blessed are they that haue not seene, and haue beleeued.
Jesu akati kwaari: Nokuti wandiona, Tomasi, watenda; vakaropafadzwa vasina kuona asi vatenda.
30 And many other signes also did Iesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this booke.
Zvino zvirokwazvo Jesu wakaita zvimwe zviratidzo zvizhinji pamberi pevadzidzi vake, zvisina kunyorwa mubhuku iri.
31 But these things are written, that ye might beleeue, that Iesus is that Christ that Sonne of God, and that in beleeuing ye might haue life through his Name.
Asi izvi zvakanyorwa, kuti mutende kuti Jesu ndiKristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, uye kuti muchitenda muve neupenyu muzita rake.
