Mateo 28
1 Mushure meSabata, ava mambakwedza nomusi wokutanga wevhiki, Maria Magadharena nomumwe Maria vakaenda kundoona guva.
After the Sabbath, in the early dawn of the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre.
2 Pakava nokudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru nokuti mutumwa waShe akabva kudenga akaenda paguva akasvikokungurutsa ibwe riya akagara pamusoro paro.
But to their amazement there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had descended from Heaven, and had come and rolled back the stone, and was sitting upon it.
3 Kuonekwa kwake kwakanga kwakaita semheni uye nguo dzake dzakanga dzakachena sechando.
His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
4 Varindi vakamutya kwazvo zvokuti vakadedera vakaita savanhu vafa.
For fear of him the guards trembled violently, and became like dead men.
5 Mutumwa akati kuvakadzi vaya, “Musatya nokuti ndinoziva kuti muri kutsvaka Jesu uyo akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa.
But the angel said to the women, "As for you, dismiss your fears. I know that it is Jesus that you are looking for--the crucified One.
6 Haapo pano; amuka sokutaura kwaakaita. Uyai muone panzvimbo paakanga avete.
He is not here: He has come back to life, as He foretold. Come and see the place where He lay.
7 Zvino kurumidzai muende kundoudza vadzidzi vake kuti, ‘Amuka kubva kuvakafa uye kuti afanotungamira kuGarirea. Muchanomuona ikoko.’ Zvino ndakuudzai.”
And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead and is going before you into Galilee: there you shall see Him. Remember, I have told you."
8 Saka vakadzi ava vakakurumidza kubva paguva vachitya asi vakazadzwa nomufaro, uye vakamhanya kundoudza vadzidzi vake.
They quickly left the tomb and ran, still terrified but full of unspeakable joy, to carry the news to His disciples.
9 Pakarepo Jesu akasangana navo, akati, “Kwaziwai.” Vakauya kwaari vakabata tsoka dzake uye vakamunamata.
And then suddenly they saw Jesus coming to meet them. "Peace be to you," He said. And they came and clasped His feet, bowing to the ground before Him.
10 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Musatya. Endai mundoudza hama dzangu kuti vaende kuGarirea; ikoko ndiko kwavachanondiona.”
Then He said, "Dismiss all fear! Go and take word to my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they shall see me."
11 Vakadzi vaya vachiri munzira, vamwe vevarindi vakaenda muguta vakandotaurira vaprista vakuru zvose zvakanga zvaitika.
While they went on this errand, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the High Priests every detail of what had happened.
12 Vaprista vakuru vakati vasangana navakuru, uye vafunga zano, vakapa varwi mari zhinji
So the latter held a conference with the Elders, and after consultation with them they heavily bribed the soldiers,
13 vakati kwavari, “Imi munofanira kutaura muchiti, ‘Vadzidzi vake vakauya usiku vakamuba isu tivete.’
telling them to say, "His disciples came during the night and stole his body while we were asleep."
14 Kana mashoko aya akasvika munzeve dzomubati, isu tichaita kuti agutsikane uye imi musawira mudambudziko.”
"And if this," they added, "is reported to the Governor, we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment."
15 Saka varwi vakatora mari iya vakaita sezvavakanga varayirwa. Uye shoko iri rakaparadzirwa kwazvo pakati pavaJudha kusvikira zuva ranhasi.
So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story was noised about among the Jews, and is current to this day.
16 Ipapo vadzidzi gumi nomumwe vakaenda kuGarirea, kugomo ravainge vaudzwa naJesu kuti vaende.
As for the eleven disciples, they proceeded into Galilee, to the hill where Jesus had arranged to meet them.
17 Vakati vamuona, vakamunamata, asi vamwe vakakahadzika.
There they saw Him and prostrated themselves before Him. Yet some doubted.
18 Ipapo Jesu akasvika pavari akati, “Simba rose kudenga napanyika rakapiwa kwandiri.
Jesus however came near and said to them, "All power in Heaven and over the earth has been given to me.
19 Naizvozvo endai mudzidzise ndudzi dzose, muchivabhabhatidza muzita raBaba, neroMwanakomana neroMweya Mutsvene,
