Mathayo 28
1 Thuutha wa Thabatũ, gwatua gũkĩa mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia, Mariamu Mũmagidali na Mariamu ũcio ũngĩ magĩthiĩ kũrora mbĩrĩra.
Now on the morning of the Sabbath, when it began to grow light on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher.
2 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwagĩire na gĩthingithia kĩnene, nĩgũkorwo mũraika wa Mwathani nĩaikũrũkire oimĩte igũrũ na agĩthiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ, akĩgaragaria ihiga akĩrĩeheria na akĩrĩikarĩra.
And behold, a great earthquake occurred. For an Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and as he approached, he rolled back the stone and sat down on it.
3 Oonekaga ahaana ta rũheni, na nguo ciake cierũhĩte o ta ira.
Now his appearance was like lightning, and his vestment was like snow.
4 Nao arangĩri acio makĩmwĩtigĩra mũno nginya makĩinaina makĩhaana, ta andũ akuũ.
Then, out of fear of him, the guards were terrified, and they 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.
Then the Angel responded by saying to the women: “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified.
6 Ndarĩ haha, nĩariũkĩte, o ta ũrĩa oigire. Ũkai muone harĩa arakomete.
He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was placed.
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.”
And then, go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen. And behold, he will precede you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have told you beforehand.”
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.
And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples.
9 Na o rĩmwe Jesũ agĩtũngana nao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩndamũgeithia.” Nao magĩthiĩ harĩ we, makĩmũnyiita nyarĩrĩ, makĩmũhooya.
And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored 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, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall 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.
And when they had departed, behold, some of the guards went into the city, and they reported to the leaders of the priests all that had happened.
12 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene magĩcemania na athuuri, magĩthugunda ũrĩa megwĩka; makĩhe thigari icio mbeeca nyingĩ,
And gathering together with the elders, having taken counsel, they gave an abundant sum of money to the soldiers,
13 magĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũkuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Arutwo ake marookire ũtukũ maramũiya twĩ toro.’
saying: “Say that his disciples arrived at night and stole him away, while we were sleeping.
14 Ũhoro ũyũ ũngĩkinyĩra barũthi, nĩtũkamũiguithia, na tũmũgitĩre mũtikone ũũru.”
And if the procurator hears about this, we will persuade him, and we will protect you.”
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thigari ikĩoya mbeeca icio, igĩĩka o ta ũrĩa cierĩtwo. Naguo ũhoro ũcio ũkĩhunjio kũrĩ Ayahudi, na nĩũhunjagio o nginya ũmũthĩ.
Then, having accepted the money, they did as they were instructed. And this word has been spread among the Jews, even to this day.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo arĩa ikũmi na ũmwe magĩthiĩ Galili, kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte mathiĩ.
Now the eleven disciples went on to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 Na rĩrĩa maamuonire-rĩ, makĩmũhooya, no amwe maarĩ na nganja.
And, seeing him, they worshipped him, but certain ones doubted.
18 Nake Jesũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩheetwo ũhoti wothe igũrũ na gũkũ thĩ.
And Jesus, drawing near, 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,
Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
