< Mariko 16 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, Thabatũ yathira, Mariamu Mũmagidali, na Mariamu nyina wa Jakubu, na Salome makĩgũra indo nungi wega nĩgeetha mathiĩ makahake mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ.
When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, in order to come and anoint His body.
2 Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia, rũciinĩ tene thuutha wa riũa kũratha, marĩ njĩra magĩthiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ,
So, very soon after sunrise on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb;
3 nĩmoranagia atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũgũtũgaragarĩria ihiga rĩehere mũromo-inĩ wa mbĩrĩra?”
and they were saying to one another, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"
4 No rĩrĩa maatiirire maitho, makĩona ihiga rĩu nĩrĩagaragarĩtio rĩkehera, nĩgũkorwo rĩarĩ inene mũno.
But then, looking up, they saw that the stone was already rolled back: for it was of immense size.
5 Na rĩrĩa maatoonyaga mbĩrĩra-thĩinĩ, makĩona mwanake wehumbĩte nguo njerũ ndaaya aikarĩte thĩ mwena wao wa ũrĩo, nao makĩmaka.
Upon entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at their right hand, clothed in a long white robe. They were astonished and terrified.
6 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũmaka. Mũracaria Jesũ ũrĩa wa Nazarethi, ũrĩa ũrambirwo mũtĩ igũrũ. Nĩariũkĩte! Ndarĩ haha. Onei harĩa maramũigĩte.
But he said to them, "Do not be terrified. It is Jesus you are looking for--the Nazarene who has been crucified. He has come back to life: He is not here: this is the place where they laid Him.
7 No thiĩi mwĩre arutwo ake o na Petero atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩekũmũtongoria gũthiĩ Galili. Kũu nĩkuo mũkaamuona, o ta ũrĩa aamwĩrire’.”
But go and tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you into Galilee: and that there you will see Him, as He told you."
8 Atumia acio makiuma hau mbĩrĩra-inĩ makĩinainaga na magegete. Matirĩ mũndũ meerire ũndũ, tondũ nĩmetigagĩra.
So they came out, and fled from the tomb, for they were greatly agitated and surprised; and they said not a word to any one, for they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia rũciinĩ tene Jesũ ariũka-rĩ, aambire kuumĩrĩra Mariamu Mũmagidali ũrĩa aarutĩte ndaimono mũgwanja.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [But He rose to life early on the first day of the week, and appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom He had expelled seven demons.
10 Nake Mariamu agĩthiĩ akĩĩra arĩa maatũire na Jesũ, akĩmakora magĩcakaya na makĩrĩra.
She went and brought the tidings to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.
11 Nao maigua atĩ Jesũ nĩariũkĩte, na atĩ Mariamu nĩamuonete, makĩrega gwĩtĩkia.
But they, when they were told that He was alive and that she had seen Him, could not believe it.
12 Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akiumĩrĩra andũ angĩ eerĩ ao, ahaana ũndũ ũngĩ, rĩrĩa maathiiaga mĩgũnda-inĩ.
Afterwards He showed Himself in another form to two of them as they were walking, on their way into the country.
13 Andũ acio makĩhũndũka, magĩthiĩ makĩĩra arutwo arĩa angĩ; no-o nao makĩrega kũmetĩkia.
These, again, went and told the news to the rest; but not even them did they believe.
14 Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akiumĩrĩra arutwo arĩa ikũmi na ũmwe makĩrĩa irio; akĩmatetia nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga gwĩtĩkia na nĩ ũndũ wa ũmũ wa ngoro ciao, nĩ ũndũ wa kũrega gwĩtĩkia arĩa maamuonete thuutha wa kũriũka gwake.
Later still He showed Himself to the Eleven themselves whilst they were at table, and He upbraided them with their unbelief and obstinacy in not having believed those who had seen Him alive.
15 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi thĩ yothe mũkahunjĩrie andũ othe Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
Then He said to them, "Go the whole world over, and proclaim the Good News to all mankind.
16 Na mũndũ o wothe ũgetĩkia na abatithio nĩakahonoka, no ũrĩa wothe ũtagetĩkia nĩagatuĩrwo ciira.
He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
17 Nacio ciama ici nĩ igatwaranaga na arĩa metĩkĩtie: Nĩmakaingata ndaimono thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa; na nĩmakaaria na thiomi njerũ;
And signs shall attend those who believe, even such as these. By making use of my name they shall expel demons. They shall speak new languages.
18 na nĩmakanyiita nyoka na moko mao; na rĩrĩa makaanyua thumu, ndũkamathũkia o na hanini; nĩmakaigagĩrĩra andũ arĩa arũaru moko, nao mahone.”
They shall take up venomous snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison it shall do them no harm whatever. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover."
19 Mwathani Jesũ aarĩkia kũmaarĩria ũhoro ũcio, agĩtwarwo igũrũ na agĩikara thĩ guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ngai.
So the Lord Jesus after having thus spoken to them was taken up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 Nao arutwo magĩcooka makiumagara na makĩhunjia ũhoro kũndũ guothe, nake Mwathani akĩrutithania wĩra nao, na agekĩraga ũhoro wake hinya na ũndũ wa ciama iria ciatwaranaga na ũhoro ũcio.
But they went out and made proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their Message by the signs which accompanied it.]
