UMathewu 28
1 Kwathi ekupheleni kwesabatha, emadabukakusa kusiya osukwini lokuqala lweviki, kwafika uMariya Magadalena, lomunye uMariya, ukuzabona ingcwaba.
In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 Futhi khangela, kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu; ngoba ingilosi yeNkosi yehla ivela ezulwini, yasondela yagiqa ilitshe yalisusa emnyango, yahlala phezu kwalo.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of YHWH descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 Lokubonakala kwayo kwakunjengombane, lesembatho sayo sasimhlophe njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 Abalindi basebethuthumela ngokuyesaba, baba njengabafileyo.
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 Kodwa ingilosi yaphendula yathi kwabesifazana: Lingesabi lina; ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lidinga uJesu obebethelwe;
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Yahushua, which was crucified.
6 kakho lapha; ngoba uvukile, njengokutsho kwakhe; wozani libone indawo lapho iNkosi ebilele khona.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the master lay.
7 Hambani masinyane litshele abafundi bakhe ukuthi uvukile kwabafileyo; njalo khangelani, uzalandulela ukuya eGalili; lizambona khona; khangelani, sengilitshelile.
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 Basebephuma engcwabeni ngokuphangisa belokwesaba lentokozo enkulu, bagijima baya ukubikela abafundi bakhe.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 Kwathi besiyatshela abafundi bakhe, futhi khangela, uJesu wabahlangabeza, wathi: Mpilo enhle! Basebesondela babamba inyawo zakhe, bamkhonza.
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Yahushua met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lingesabi; hambani, libikele abafowethu ukuthi baye eGalili, njalo bazangibona khona.
Then said Yahushua unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 Kwathi sebehamba, khangela, abanye kubalindi baya emzini babikela abapristi abakhulu konke okwenzakeleyo.
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12 Sebebuthene labadala, benza icebo, banika abebutho imali enengi,
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13 besithi: Kalibokuthi: Abafundi bakhe beze ebusuku bameba silele thina.
Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14 Futhi uba lokhu kuzwakala kumbusi, thina sizamncenga, silenze lingabi senkathazweni.
And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15 Basebethatha imali benza njengalokhu ababekufundisiwe; lalelilizwi landa phakathi kwamaJuda kuze kube lamuhla.
So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16 Kwathi abafundi abalitshumi lanye baya eGalili, entabeni uJesu ayebalayele yona;
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Yahushua had appointed them.
17 sebembonile bamkhonza; kodwa abanye bathandabuza.
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 UJesu wasesondela wakhuluma labo, esithi: Wonke amandla aphiwe mina ezulwini lemhlabeni;
And Yahushua came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 ngakho hambani lenze izizwe zonke zibe ngabafundi, libabhabhathiza ebizweni likaYise leleNdodana lelikaMoya oNgcwele;
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:
