Matthew 28
1 Now in the end of the Sabbath, when the first day of ye weeke began to dawne, Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie came to see the sepulchre,
Baadaye jioni siku ya Sabato, jua lilipokuwa likichwa kuelekea siku ya kwanza ya juma, Mariamu magadalena, na yule Mariam mwingine walikuja kuliona kaburi.
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the Angel of the Lord descended from heauen, and came and rolled backe the stone from the doore, and sate vpon it.
Tazama kulikuwa na tetemeko kubwa, kwa sababu malaika wa Bwana alishuka na kulivingirisha lile jiwe, kisha akalikalia.
3 And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snowe.
Sura yake ilikuwa kama ya umeme, na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.
4 And for feare of him, the keepers were astonied, and became as dead men.
Wale walinzi walijawa na hofu na kuwa kama wafu.
5 But the Angel answered, and said to the women, Feare ye not: for I know that ye seeke Iesus which was crucified:
Yule malaika akawafafanulia wale wananawake akisema, “msiogope kwa maana najua kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu, aliyesulibiwa.
6 He is not here, for he is risen; as he saide: come, see the place where the Lord was laid,
Hayupo hapa, lakini amefufuka kama alivyowaambia. Njooni muone mahali ambapo Bwana alilala.
7 And go quickly, and tel his disciples that he is risen from ye dead: and behold, he goeth before you into Galile: there ye shall see him: loe, I haue told you.
Nendeni haraka mkawaambie wanafunzi wake, 'Amefufuka toka wafu, tazama amewatangulia Galilaya. Huko ndiko mtamwona.' Tazama mimi nimewaambia.”
8 So they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with feare and great ioye, and did runne to bring his disciples worde.
Wale wanawake waliondoka pale kaburini haraka wakiwa na hofu na furaha kubwa, na wakakimbia kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.
9 And as they wet to tel his disciples, behold, Iesus also met the, saying, God saue you. And they came, and tooke him by the feete, and worshipped him.
Tazama Yesu akakutana nao na kusema, “Salamu.”wale wanawake walikuja na kushika miguu yake, na kisha wakamwabudu.
10 Then said Iesus vnto them, Be not afraide. Goe, and tell my brethren, that they goe into Galile, and there shall they see me.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “msiogope, nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu watangulie Galilaya. Huko wataniona.
11 Nowe when they were gone, beholde, some of the watch came into the citie, and shewed vnto the hie Priestes all ye things that were done.
Wakati wale wanawake walipokuwa wakienda, tazama baadhi ya walinzi walienda mjini na kuwaambia wakuu wa makuhani mambo yote yaliyokuwa yametokea.
12 And they gathered them together with the Elders, and tooke counsell, and gaue large money vnto the souldiers,
Nao makuhani walipokuwa wamekutana na wazee na kulijadili jambo hilo pamoja nao, walitoa kiasi kikubwa cha pesa kwa wale askari
13 Saying, Say, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
na kuwaambia, “Waambieni wengine kuwa, 'wanafunzi wa Yesu walikuja usiku wakauiba mwili wa Yesu wakati sisi tulipokuwa tumelala.'
14 And if this matter come before the gouernour to be heard, we will perswade him, and so vse the matter that you shall not neede to care.
Kama taarifa hii itamfikia liwali, sisi tutamshawishi na kuwaondoleeni ninyi mashaka yote.”
15 So they tooke the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is noysed among the Iewes vnto this day.
Kwa hiyo wale askari wakazichukua zile pesa na kufanya kama walivyokuwa wameelekezwa. Habari hii ikaenea sana kwa Wayahudi na imekuwa hivyo hadi leo.
16 Then ye eleuen disciples wet into Galile, into a mountaine, where Iesus had appointed the.
Lakini wale mitume kumi na mmoja walienda Galilaya, kwenye ule mlima aliokuwa amewaelekeza.
17 And when they sawe him, they worshipped him: but some douted.
Nao walipomwona, walimwabudu. lakini baadhi yao waliona shaka.
18 And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, saying, All power is giuen vnto me, in heauen, and in earth.
Yesu akaja kwao akawambia akisema, “Nimepewa mamlaka yote duniani na mbinguni.
19 Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the Sonne, and the holy Ghost,
Kwa hiyo enendeni mkawafanye mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi. Wabatizeni katika jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtatkatifu.
