Matthew 28
1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
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 look, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
Tazama kulikuwa na tetemeko kubwa, kwa sababu malaika wa Bwana alishuka na kulivingirisha lile jiwe, kisha akalikalia.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
Sura yake ilikuwa kama ya umeme, na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.
4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
Wale walinzi walijawa na hofu na kuwa kama wafu.
5 The angel answered the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
Yule malaika akawafafanulia wale wananawake akisema, “msiogope kwa maana najua kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu, aliyesulibiwa.
6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.
Hayupo hapa, lakini amefufuka kama alivyowaambia. Njooni muone mahali ambapo Bwana alilala.
7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and look, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' See, I have told you."
Nendeni haraka mkawaambie wanafunzi wake, 'Amefufuka toka wafu, tazama amewatangulia Galilaya. Huko ndiko mtamwona.' Tazama mimi nimewaambia.”
8 They departed quickly from the tomb, frightened yet with great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
Wale wanawake waliondoka pale kaburini haraka wakiwa na hofu na furaha kubwa, na wakakimbia kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.
9 And look, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
Tazama Yesu akakutana nao na kusema, “Salamu.”wale wanawake walikuja na kushika miguu yake, na kisha wakamwabudu.
10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me."
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “msiogope, nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu watangulie Galilaya. Huko wataniona.
11 Now while they were going, look, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
Wakati wale wanawake walipokuwa wakienda, tazama baadhi ya walinzi walienda mjini na kuwaambia wakuu wa makuhani mambo yote yaliyokuwa yametokea.
12 When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
Nao makuhani walipokuwa wamekutana na wazee na kulijadili jambo hilo pamoja nao, walitoa kiasi kikubwa cha pesa kwa wale askari
13 saying, "Say that 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 If this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry."
Kama taarifa hii itamfikia liwali, sisi tutamshawishi na kuwaondoleeni ninyi mashaka yote.”
15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jewish people, and continues until 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 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
Lakini wale mitume kumi na mmoja walienda Galilaya, kwenye ule mlima aliokuwa amewaelekeza.
17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.
Nao walipomwona, walimwabudu. lakini baadhi yao waliona shaka.
18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Yesu akaja kwao akawambia akisema, “Nimepewa mamlaka yote duniani na mbinguni.
19 Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Kwa hiyo enendeni mkawafanye mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi. Wabatizeni katika jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtatkatifu.
