UMakho 16
1 Kwathi iSabatha seledlule, uMariya Magadalini, loMariya unina kaJakhobe loSalome bathenga amakha ukuze bayeqhola ngawo isidumbu sikaJesu.
Baada ya siku ya Sabato, Maria Magdalene, Salome na Maria mama yake Yakobo walinunua manukato ili wakaupake mwili wa Yesu.
2 Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku lokuqala lweviki, ilanga liphuma basebesendleleni besiya ethuneni,
Basi, alfajiri na mapema siku ya Jumapili, jua lilipoanza kuchomoza, walienda kaburini.
3 babuzana bathi, “Ngubani ozasigiqela ilitshe lisuke emlonyeni wethuna na?”
Nao wakawa wanaambiana, “Nani atakayetuondolea lile jiwe mlangoni mwa kaburi?”
4 Kodwa bathi bayakhangela babona ilitshe, elalilikhulu kakhulu, seligiqelwe eceleni.
Lakini walipotazama, waliona jiwe limekwisha ondolewa. (Nalo lilikuwa kubwa mno.)
5 Bathi bengena ethuneni babona ijaha ligqoke isembatho esimhlophe lihlezi ngakwesokunene, bethuka kakhulu.
Walipoingia kaburini, walimwona kijana mmoja aliyevaa vazi jeupe, ameketi upande wa kulia; wakashangaa sana.
6 Lathi, “Lingaze lethuka. Lidinga uJesu umNazarini obebethelwe. Usevukile! Kakho lapha. Bonani, nansi indawo lapho bebembeke khona.
Lakini huyo kijana akawaambia, “Msishangae. Mnamtafuta Yesu wa Nazareti aliyesulubiwa. Amefufuka, hayumo hapa. Tazameni mahali walipokuwa wamemlaza.
7 Kodwa hambani liyotshela abafundi bakhe loPhethro lithi, ‘Usehamba phambi kwenu ukuya eGalile. Lizambona khonale, njengoba walitshela.’”
Nendeni mkawaambie wanafunzi wake pamoja na Petro ya kwamba anawatangulieni kule Galilaya. Huko mtamwona kama alivyowaambieni.”
8 Ngokuthuthumela langokudideka, abesifazane baphuma bebaleka ethuneni. Kabakhulumanga lutho lakubani ngoba babesesaba. [
Basi, wakatoka pale kaburini mbio, maana walitetemeka kwa hofu na kushangaa. Hawakumwambia mtu yeyote kitu, kwa sababu waliogopa mno.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) UJesu esevukile ekuseni ngelanga lokuqala evikini waqala wabonakala kuMariya Magadalini yena lowo ayekhuphe kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Yesu alipofufuka mapema Jumapili, alijionyesha kwanza kwa Maria Magdalene, ambaye Yesu alikuwa amemtoa pepo saba.
10 Yena wahamba wayabikela labo uJesu ayephile labo ababesesililweni sakhe.
Maria Magdalene akaenda, akawajulisha wale waliokuwa pamoja na Yesu, na wakati huo walikuwa wanaomboleza na kulia.
11 Bathi besizwa ukuthi uJesu uyaphila lokuthi uMariya wayembonile, kabazange bakukholwe.
Lakini waliposikia ya kwamba Yesu yu hai na kwamba Maria Magdalene amemwona, hawakuamini.
12 Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wabonakala ngesinye isimo kwababili babo abafica behamba kulelolizwe emaphandleni.
Baadaye Yesu aliwatokea wanafunzi wawili akiwa na sura nyingine. Wanafunzi hao walikuwa wanakwenda shambani.
13 Labo babuyela bayabikela abanye, kodwa labo kabazange babakholwe.
Nao pia wakaenda wakawaambia wenzao. Hata hivyo hawakuamini.
14 Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wabonakala kwabalitshumi lanye besidla; wabakhuza ngokungakholwa kwabo langobulukhuni benhliziyo zabo bengabakholwa labo ababembonile ngemva kokuvuka kwakhe.
Mwishowe, Yesu aliwatokea wanafunzi kumi na mmoja walipokuwa pamoja mezani. Akawakemea sana kwa sababu ya kutoamini kwao na ukaidi wao, maana hawakuwaamini wale waliokuwa wamemwona baada ya kufufuka.
15 Wathi kubo, “Hambani emhlabeni wonke litshumayele ivangeli kukho konke okwadalwayo.
Basi, akawaambia, “Nendeni ulimwenguni kote mkahubiri Habari Njema kwa kila mtu.
16 Loba ngubani okholwayo abhaphathizwe uzasindiswa, kodwa lowo ongakholwayo uzalahlwa.
Anayeamini na kubatizwa ataokolewa; asiyeamini atahukumiwa.
17 Lezizibonakaliso zizabalandela labo abakholwayo: Ngebizo lami bazakhupha amadimoni; bazakhuluma ngendimi ezintsha;
Na ishara hizi zitaandamana na wale wanaoamini: kwa jina langu watatoa pepo na watasema kwa lugha mpya.
18 bazadobha izinyoka ngezandla zabo; bazakuthi banganatha okubulalayo kungaze kwabalimaza lakancinyane; bazabeka izandla zabo phezu kwabantu abagulayo, basile.”
Wakishika nyoka au wakinywa kitu chochote chenye sumu, hakitawadhuru. Watawawekea wagonjwa mikono, nao watapona.”
19 Ngemva kokuba iNkosi uJesu esekhulume labo, wenyukiselwa ezulwini, wahlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
Basi, Bwana Yesu alipokwisha sema nao, akachukuliwa mbinguni, akaketi upande wa kulia wa Mungu.
20 Abafundi bahamba bayatshumayela ezindaweni zonke iNkosi yasebenza labo yaqinisa ilizwi layo ngezibonakaliso ezazilisekela.]
Wanafunzi wakaenda wakihubiri kila mahali. Bwana akafanya kazi pamoja nao na kuimarisha ujumbe huo kwa ishara zilizoandamana nao.
