1 Thuutha wa Thabatũ, gwatua gũkĩa mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia, Mariamu Mũmagidali na Mariamu ũcio ũngĩ magĩthiĩ kũrora mbĩrĩra.
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.
2 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwagĩire na gĩthingithia kĩnene, nĩgũkorwo mũraika wa Mwathani nĩaikũrũkire oimĩte igũrũ na agĩthiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ, akĩgaragaria ihiga akĩrĩeheria na akĩrĩikarĩra.
Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.
3 Oonekaga ahaana ta rũheni, na nguo ciake cierũhĩte o ta ira.
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 Nao arangĩri acio makĩmwĩtigĩra mũno nginya makĩinaina makĩhaana, ta andũ akuũ.
For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
5 Nake mũraika ũcio akĩĩra andũ-a-nja acio atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ-rĩ, tigai gwĩtigĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ atĩ nĩ Jesũ ũrĩa ũraambirwo mũtĩ-igũrũ mũracaria.
The angel answered the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
6 Ndarĩ haha, nĩariũkĩte, o ta ũrĩa oigire. Ũkai muone harĩa arakomete.
He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
7 Na rĩrĩ, thiĩi narua mũkeere arutwo ake atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩariũkĩte akoima kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, na nĩegũthiĩ Galili mbere yanyu. Kũu nĩkuo mũrĩmuona.’ Ririkanai ũguo ndaamwĩra.”
Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andũ-a-nja acio makiuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ mahiũhĩte marĩ na guoya, no ningĩ maiyũrĩtwo nĩ gĩkeno, makĩhanyũka makeere arutwo ake ũhoro ũcio.
They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
9 Na o rĩmwe Jesũ agĩtũngana nao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩndamũgeithia.” Nao magĩthiĩ harĩ we, makĩmũnyiita nyarĩrĩ, makĩmũhooya.
As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Thiĩ mũkeere ariũ na aarĩ a Baba mathiĩ Galili; kũu nĩkuo marĩnyona.”
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.”
11 Na rĩrĩa andũ-a-nja acio maathiiaga-rĩ, arangĩri amwe a arĩa maarangĩrĩte mbĩrĩra magĩtoonya itũũra inene na makĩĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene maũndũ mothe marĩa mekĩkĩte.
Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
12 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene magĩcemania na athuuri, magĩthugunda ũrĩa megwĩka; makĩhe thigari icio mbeeca nyingĩ,
When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
13 magĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũkuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Arutwo ake marookire ũtukũ maramũiya twĩ toro.’
saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
14 Ũhoro ũyũ ũngĩkinyĩra barũthi, nĩtũkamũiguithia, na tũmũgitĩre mũtikone ũũru.”
If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thigari ikĩoya mbeeca icio, igĩĩka o ta ũrĩa cierĩtwo. Naguo ũhoro ũcio ũkĩhunjio kũrĩ Ayahudi, na nĩũhunjagio o nginya ũmũthĩ.
So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo arĩa ikũmi na ũmwe magĩthiĩ Galili, kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte mathiĩ.
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
17 Na rĩrĩa maamuonire-rĩ, makĩmũhooya, no amwe maarĩ na nganja.
When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
18 Nake Jesũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩheetwo ũhoti wothe igũrũ na gũkũ thĩ.
Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thiĩi mũgatũme andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe matuĩke arutwo akwa, mũkĩmabatithagia thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Ithe na rĩa Mũriũ na rĩa Roho Mũtheru,
Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 na mũkĩmarutaga gwathĩkĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmwathĩte. Na ti-itherũ ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ciothe, o nginya mũthia wa mahinda maya.” (aiōn g165)
teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age (aiōn g165)." Amen.
