Yohana 20
1 Mapema siku ya kwanza ya juma, kungali bado giza, Mariamu Magdalena alikuja kaburini; akaliona lile jiwe limeondolewa kaburini.
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
2 Kwa hiyo akakimbia mbio kwenda kwa Simon Petro na kwa yule mwanafunzi mwingine ambaye Yesu alimpenda, kisha akawaambia, “wamemchukua Bwana kaburini, nasi hatujui kule walikomlaza.”
So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!”
3 Kisha Petro na yule mwanafunzi mwingine wakatoka, kuelekea kaburini.
Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.
4 Wote walipiga mbio kwa pamoja; yule mwanafunzi mwingine alikimbia kwa kasi zaidi ya Petro nakufika kaburini wa kwanza.
The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5 Akasimama na kisha kuangalia kaburini; akaiona ile sanda ya kitani imelala, lakini hakuingia ndani.
He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
6 Kisha Simon Petro naye akafika akaingia ndani ya Kaburi. Akaiona ile sanda ya kitani imelala pale
Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
7 na ile leso iliyokuwa kichwani pake haikuwa imelala pamoja na zile sanda za kitani bali ilikuwa imelala pembeni peke yake.
The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.
8 Ndipo yule mwanafunzi mwingine naye alipoingia ndani ya kaburi; akaona na kuamini.
Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.
9 Kwa kuwa hadi wakati huo walikuwa bado hawajayajua maandiko kwamba ilimlazimu Yesu afufuke tena katika wafu.
For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
10 Kisha wanafunzi wakaenda tena nyumbani kwao.
Then the disciples returned to their homes.
11 Hata hivyo, Mariamu alikuwa amesimama kaburini akilia, alivyokuwa akiendelea kulia alisimama kisha akatazama kaburini.
But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb,
12 Akaona malaika wawili wenye sura nyeupe wamekaa mmoja kichwani na mwingine miguuni mahali ambapo Yesu alikuwa amelala.
and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.
13 Nao wakamwambia, “Mwanamke, kwa nini unalia?” Naye akawaambia, “Ni kwa sababu wamemchukua Bwana wangu, nami sijui walikomweka.”
“Woman, why are you weeping?” they asked. “Because they have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I do not know where they have put Him.”
14 Alipokwisha sema hayo, aligeuka na kumwona Yesu akiwa amesimama. Lakini hakutambua kama huyo alikuwa Yesu.
When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not recognize that it was Jesus.
15 Naye Yesu akamwambia, “Mama, kwa nini unalia? Unamtafuta nani?” Naye huku akidhani kuwa ni mtunza bustani akamwambia, “Bwana, kama ni wewe uliyemchukua, niambie ulikomweka, nami nitamchukua.”
“Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus asked. “Whom are you seeking?” Thinking He was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have put Him, and I will get Him.”
16 Yesu akamwambia, “Mariamu.” Naye akageuka mwenyewe na kumwambia kwa Kiaramu, “Raboni,” yaani hii ni kusema, “Mwalimu.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Yesu akamwambia, “Usiniguse, kwani bado sijapaa kwenda kwa baba; bali uende kwa ndugu zangu ukawaambie kuwa nitapaa kwenda kwa Baba yangu ambaye pia ni Baba yenu, Mungu wangu na Mungu wenu.”
“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”
18 Mariamu Magdalena akaja kuwaambia wanafunzi, “Nimemwona Bwana,” na kwamba amemwambia mambo haya.
Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.
19 Na ilipokuwa jioni, siku hiyo, siku ya kwanza ya juma, na milango ikiwa imefungwa mahali wanafunzi walipokuwapo kwa kuwahofia Wayahudi, Yesu alikuja na kusimama katikati yao na kuwaambia, “Amani iwe kwenu.”
It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them.
20 Alipokwisha sema haya akawaonesha mikono yake na ubavu wake. Nao wanafunzi walipomwona Bwana walifurahi.
After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21 Kisha Yesu akawaambia tena, “Amani iwe nanyi. Kama vile Baba alivyonituma mimi, vivyo hivyo nami nawatuma ninyi.”
Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”
22 Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, akawavuvia akawaambia, Pokeeni Roho Mtakatifu.
When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Yeyote mmsameheye dhambi, wamesamehewa; na wale mtakaowafungia watafungiwa.”
If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”
24 Thomaso, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, aliyeitwa Didimas, hakuwa na wanafunzi wenzake Yesu alipokuja.
Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25 Wale wanafunzi wengine waka mwambia baadaye, “Tumemwona Bwana.” Naye akawambia, “Kama sitaona alama za misumari katika mikono yake, na kuweka vidole vyangu kwenye hizo alama, na pia kuweka mkono wangu kwenye ubavu wake sitaamini.”
So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”
26 Baada ya siku nane wanafunzi walikuwa chumbani tena, naye Thomaso alikuwa pamoja nao. Wakati milango ilipokuwa imefungwa Yesu alisimama katikati yao. na akasema, “Amani na iwe nanyi.”
Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
27 Kisha akamwambia Thomaso, leta kidole chako na uone mikono yangu; leta hapa mikono yako na uweke kwenye ubavu wangu; wala usiwe asiyeamini bali aaminiye.”
Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Naye Thomaso akajibu na kumwambia, “Bwana wangu na Mungu wangu.”
Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Yesu akamwambia, Kwa kuwa umeniona, umeamini. Wamebarikiwa wao wanaoamini, pasipokuona.”
Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
30 Kisha Yesu alifanya ishara nyingi mbele ya wanafunzi, ambazo hazijawahi kuandikwa katika kitabu hiki;
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.
31 bali hizi zimeandikwa ili kwamba muweze kuamini kwamba Yesu ndiye Kristo, mwana wa Mungu, na kwamba muaminipo muwe na uzima katika jina lake.
But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.
