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.
Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, came 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.
Now then, a big earthquake had occurred, because an angel of the Lord, descending out of heaven, had come and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it!
3 Amaaso ge gaali gamasamasa ng’okumyansa kw’eraddu, n’ekyambalo kye nga kyeru ekitukula be tukutuku.
And his appearance was like lightning and his clothing as white as snow.
4 Abakuumi bwe baamulaba, ne bakankana nga batidde nnyo ne bagwa wansi ne baba ng’abafudde.
So the guards were shaken for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 Awo malayika n’agamba abakazi nti, “Temutya. Mmanyi nga munoonya Yesu, eyakomererwa,
Now the angel spoke up and said to the women: “Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for the Jesus who was crucified.
6 wabula taliiwo wano! Azuukidde mu bafu, nga bwe yagamba. Muyingire mulabe we yali agalamiziddwa.
He is not here, because He is risen, just like He said! Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
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.”
Now go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and get this, He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. There, 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 went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to report to 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.
But as they were going to report to His disciples, wow, Jesus met them saying, “Rejoice!” So approaching, they held His feet and worshiped Him.
10 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Temutya, mugende mugambe abooluganda bagende mangu e Ggaliraaya, gye balindabira.”
Then Jesus says to them: “Do not be afraid! Go report to my brothers that they must go to Galilee, and 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.
Now while they were going, get this, some of the guard 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.
When they had met with the elders and consulted together, they gave plenty of money to the soldiers
13 Ne babalagira bagambe nti, “Bwe twali twebase ekiro, abayigirizwa ne bajja ne babba omulambo gwa Yesu ne bagutwala.”
saying: “Say that his disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping.
14 Abaali mu lukiiko olwo ne basuubiza abakuumi nti, “Singa ebigambo bino bituuka ku gavana, ffe tujja kumuwooyawooya, tubazibire.”
And should this get to the governor, we will persuade him and make you safe.”
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 taking the money they did as they were instructed. Their tale is widely spread among the Jews until this day.
16 Awo abayigirizwa ekkumi n’omu ne basitula ne bagenda e Ggaliraaya ku lusozi Yesu gye yabagamba okumusanga.
The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain that Jesus had indicated to them.
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.
And approaching Jesus asserted to them saying: “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.
As you go, make disciples in all ethnic nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;
