Mark 16
1 [On Saturday evening] when (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) had ended, Mary [from] Magdala, Mary the mother of the [younger] James, and Salome bought fragrant ointment. [The Jews had a custom of] anointing bodies [before they buried them, and the women wanted to follow this custom].
Baada ya siku ya Sabato, Maria Magdalene, Salome na Maria mama yake Yakobo walinunua manukato ili wakaupake mwili wa Yesu.
2 So very early on Sunday, [just after] the sun rose, they [took the fragrant ointment] and started toward the tomb.
Basi, alfajiri na mapema siku ya Jumapili, jua lilipoanza kuchomoza, walienda kaburini.
3 [While they were going there], they were saying to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone [that blocks] the entrance of the tomb?”
Nao wakawa wanaambiana, “Nani atakayetuondolea lile jiwe mlangoni mwa kaburi?”
4 [After they arrived], they looked up and saw that the stone had [already] been rolled away {that someone had [already] rolled away the stone}. [They were surprised because it] would have been difficult to move such a huge stone.
Lakini walipotazama, waliona jiwe limekwisha ondolewa. (Nalo lilikuwa kubwa mno.)
5 They entered the tomb and saw [an angel who looked like] a young man. He was sitting at the right side [of the cave]. He was wearing a [shining] white robe. As a result, they were astonished.
Walipoingia kaburini, walimwona kijana mmoja aliyevaa vazi jeupe, ameketi upande wa kulia; wakashangaa sana.
6 The young man said to them, “Do not be astonished! I [know that] you are looking for Jesus, the man from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross {whom they nailed to a cross}. But he has become alive again! He is not here! Look! [Here is] the place where they placed his [body].
Lakini huyo kijana akawaambia, “Msishangae. Mnamtafuta Yesu wa Nazareti aliyesulubiwa. Amefufuka, hayumo hapa. Tazameni mahali walipokuwa wamemlaza.
7 But, instead [of remaining here], go and tell his disciples. Particularly [be sure] that you tell Peter. Tell them, ‘[Jesus] is going ahead of you to Galilee [district], and you will see him there, just like he told you [previously’]!”
Nendeni mkawaambie wanafunzi wake pamoja na Petro ya kwamba anawatangulieni kule Galilaya. Huko mtamwona kama alivyowaambieni.”
8 The women went outside and ran from the tomb. They were trembling [because they were afraid], and they were astonished. But they did not say anything to anyone [about this] while they were going, because they were afraid.
Basi, wakatoka pale kaburini mbio, maana walitetemeka kwa hofu na kushangaa. Hawakumwambia mtu yeyote kitu, kwa sababu waliogopa mno.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [When Jesus became alive [again] early on Sunday morning, he appeared first to Mary [from] Magdala [town]. She was the woman from whom he had [previously] expelled seven evil spirits.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Yesu alipofufuka mapema Jumapili, alijionyesha kwanza kwa Maria Magdalene, ambaye Yesu alikuwa amemtoa pepo saba.
10 She went to those who had been with [Jesus], while they were mourning and crying. She told them [what she had seen].
Maria Magdalene akaenda, akawajulisha wale waliokuwa pamoja na Yesu, na wakati huo walikuwa wanaomboleza na kulia.
11 But when she told them that Jesus was alive again and that she had seen him, they refused to believe it.
Lakini waliposikia ya kwamba Yesu yu hai na kwamba Maria Magdalene amemwona, hawakuamini.
12 Later [that day], Jesus appeared to two of [his disciples] while they were walking [from Jerusalem to their homes in] the [surrounding] area. [But they did not recognize him quickly because] he looked very different.
Baadaye Yesu aliwatokea wanafunzi wawili akiwa na sura nyingine. Wanafunzi hao walikuwa wanakwenda shambani.
13 [After they recognized him], those two went back [to Jerusalem. They told his other followers what had happened], but they did not believe it.
Nao pia wakaenda wakawaambia wenzao. Hata hivyo hawakuamini.
14 Later he appeared to the eleven [apostles] while they were eating. He rebuked them because they had stubbornly refused to believe [the reports of] those who saw him after he had become alive again.
Mwishowe, Yesu aliwatokea wanafunzi kumi na mmoja walipokuwa pamoja mezani. Akawakemea sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao na ukaidi wao, maana hawakuwaamini wale waliokuwa wamemwona baada ya kufufuka.
15 [Later] he said to them, “Go into the whole world and preach the good message to everyone!
Basi, akawaambia, “Nendeni ulimwenguni kote mkahubiri Habari Njema kwa kila mtu.
16 Everyone who believes [your message] and who is baptized will be saved {[God] will save}. But everyone who does not believe it will be condemned {[God] will condemn}.
Anayeamini na kubatizwa ataokolewa; asiyeamini atahukumiwa.
17 Those who believe [my good message] will perform miracles. Specifically, by my power they will expel evil spirits. They will speak in languages that they have not learned.
Na ishara hizi zitaandamana na wale wanaoamini: kwa jina langu watatoa pepo na watasema kwa lugha mpya.
18 If they pick up snakes [accidentally] or if they drink any poisonous [liquid accidentally], they will not be hurt. [Whenever] they put their hands on sick [people in order that God will heal them], those sick people will become well.”
Wakishika nyoka au wakinywa kitu chochote chenye sumu, hakitawadhuru. Watawawekea wagonjwa mikono, nao watapona.”
19 After the Lord Jesus had said this to [the disciples, he was taken] {[God] took him} up into heaven. Then he sat down on his throne beside God [to rule with him].
Basi, Bwana Yesu alipokwisha sema nao, akachukuliwa mbinguni, akaketi upande wa kulia wa Mungu.
20 [As for the disciples], they went out [from Jerusalem, and then they preached everywhere. Wherever they went], the Lord enabled them to perform miracles. [By doing that], he showed people that God’s message is true.
Wanafunzi wakaenda wakihubiri kila mahali. Bwana akafanya kazi pamoja nao na kuimarisha ujumbe huo kwa ishara zilizoandamana nao.
