< John 20 >

1 The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Zvino newekutanga wevhiki Maria Magidharini wakasvika mangwanani-ngwanani paguva, kuchakasviba, akaona ibwe rabviswa kubva paguva.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have 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 that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
Zvino Petro akabuda neumwe mudzidzi, vakasvika kuguva.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun 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 stooping down, [and looking in], saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
Zvino akotama achidongorera, wakaona micheka yerineni yakawaridzwa, asi haana kupinda.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
Zvino Simoni Petro akasvika achimutevera, akapinda muguva, akaona micheka yerineni yakawaridzwa,
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
nemucheka wekumeso wakange uri mumusoro make, usina kuwaridzwa nemicheka yerineni, asi wakapetwa uri pane imwe nzvimbo wega.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
Naizvozvo ipapo umwe mudzidzi wakatanga kusvika paguva akapindawo, akaona, akatenda;
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
nokuti vakange vachigere kunzwisisisa rugwaro, kuti anofanira kumuka kubva kuvakafa.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakabva vakaendazve kwavo.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, [and looked] into the sepulchre,
Asi Maria wakamira kunze paguva achichema; zvino wakati achichema akakotama akadongorera muguva,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
akaona vatumwa vaviri vane nguvo chena vagere, umwe kumusoro, neumwe kutsoka, ipapo pakambenge parere mutumbi waJesu.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Ivo ndokuti kwaari: Mukadzi, unochemei? Akati kwavari: Nokuti vakabvisa Ishe wangu, zvino handizivi kwavakamuradzika.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi akatendeukira kumashure, akaona Jesu amire, asi haana kuziva kuti ndiJesu.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have 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 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Jesu akati kwaari: Maria! Iye akatendeuka akati kwaari: Rabhoni! ndiko kuti: Mudzidzisi.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and 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 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things unto her.
Maria Magidharini akauya ndokuudza vadzidzi kuti waona Ishe, uye wamuudza zvinhu izvi.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto 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 said, he shewed unto them [his] hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
Zvino wakati ataura izvi akavaratidza zvanza nerutivi rwake. Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakafara vachiona Ishe.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
Naizvozvo Jesu akatizve kwavari: Rugare kwamuri; Baba sezvavakandituma, neni ndinokutumai.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Zvino wakati areva izvi akafuridzira kwavari, ndokuti kwavari: Gamuchirai Mweya Mutsvene.
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
Ani nani wamunokanganwira zvivi, vazvikanganwirwa; vese vamunobata zvavo zvabatwa.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Asi Tomasi, umwe wevanegumi nevaviri, wainzi Dhidhimo, wakange asipo navo Jesu paakauya.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
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 after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.
Zvino mushure memazuva masere vadzidzi vake vakange vari mukatizve, naTomasi anavo. Jesu akauya, mikova yakapfigwa, ndokumira pakati akati: Rugare kwamuri.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
Ipapo akati kuna Tomasi: Uisa munwe wako pano uone zvanza zangu; uuise ruoko rwako uise murutivi rwangu, usava usingatendi, asi unotenda.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Zvino Tomasi akapindura, akati kwaari: Ishe wangu naMwari wangu!
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
Jesu akati kwaari: Nokuti wandiona, Tomasi, watenda; vakaropafadzwa vasina kuona asi vatenda.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
Zvino zvirokwazvo Jesu wakaita zvimwe zviratidzo zvizhinji pamberi pevadzidzi vake, zvisina kunyorwa mubhuku iri.
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Asi izvi zvakanyorwa, kuti mutende kuti Jesu ndiKristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, uye kuti muchitenda muve neupenyu muzita rake.
