Matayo 28
1 Oluvannyuma lwa Ssabbiiti ku lunaku olusooka mu nnaku omusanvu, ng’obudde bukya, Maliyamu Magudaleene ne Maliyamu oli omulala ne balaga ku ntaana.
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
2 Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo okukankana ng’okwa musisi. Malayika wa Mukama yakka okuva mu ggulu n’ayiringisa ejjinja ne liva mu mulyango gw’entaana, n’alituulako.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
3 Amaaso ge gaali gamasamasa ng’okumyansa kw’eraddu, n’ekyambalo kye nga kyeru ekitukula be tukutuku.
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4 Abakuumi bwe baamulaba, ne bakankana nga batidde nnyo ne bagwa wansi ne baba ng’abafudde.
The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.
5 Awo malayika n’agamba abakazi nti, “Temutya. Mmanyi nga munoonya Yesu, eyakomererwa,
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 wabula taliiwo wano! Azuukidde mu bafu, nga bwe yagamba. Muyingire mulabe we yali agalamiziddwa.
He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.
7 Kale kaakano, mugende mangu mutegeeze abayigirizwa be nti, Azuukidde mu bafu, era abakulembeddemu okugenda e Ggaliraaya gye mulimusisinkana. Obwo bwe bubaka bwange bwe muba mubatuusaako.”
Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”
8 Abakazi abo ne badduka embiro nnyingi nga bava ku ntaana kyokka nga batidde nnyo, naye ate nga bajjudde essanyu. Ne bayanguwa mangu okugenda okubuulira abayigirizwa be.
So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.
9 Bwe baali bagenda, amangwago Yesu n’ayimirira mu maaso gaabwe! N’abalamusa nti, “Mirembe?” Ne bagwa wansi ne bavuunama mu maaso ge, ne bamukwata ku bigere ne bamusinza.
Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.
10 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Temutya, mugende mugambe abooluganda bagende mangu e Ggaliraaya, gye balindabira.”
“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”
11 Abakazi bwe baali bagenda mu kibuga, abamu ku bakuumi abaali bakuuma entaana ne bagenda eri bakabona abakulu ne babategeeza byonna ebibaddewo.
While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12 Awo abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bonna ne bakuŋŋaana ne bateesa era ne batoola ffeeza na basalawo bagulirire abakuumi.
And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
13 Ne babalagira bagambe nti, “Bwe twali twebase ekiro, abayigirizwa ne bajja ne babba omulambo gwa Yesu ne bagutwala.”
and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
14 Abaali mu lukiiko olwo ne basuubiza abakuumi nti, “Singa ebigambo bino bituuka ku gavana, ffe tujja kumuwooyawooya, tubazibire.”
If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
15 Bwe batyo abaserikale ne balya enguzi, ne bakkiriza okwogera nga bwe baabagamba. Ebigambo byabwe ne bibuna nnyo wonna mu Buyudaaya, n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.
So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.
16 Awo abayigirizwa ekkumi n’omu ne basitula ne bagenda e Ggaliraaya ku lusozi Yesu gye yabagamba okumusanga.
Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.
17 Ne bamusisinkana ne bamusinza. Naye abamu ku bo tebaakakasiza ddala nti ye Yesu, ne babuusabuusa!
When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
18 Awo Yesu n’asemberera abayigirizwa be n’abategeeza nti, “Mpeereddwa obuyinza bwonna mu ggulu ne ku nsi.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 Kale mugende mufuule abantu bonna mu nsi zonna, abayigirizwa nga mubabatiza mu linnya lya Kitaffe, Omwana era Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
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,
