Mathayo 28
1 Baadaye jioni siku ya Sabato, jua lilipokuwa likichwa kuelekea siku ya kwanza ya juma, Mariamu magadalena, na yule Mariam mwingine walikuja kuliona kaburi.
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
2 Tazama kulikuwa na tetemeko kubwa, kwa sababu malaika wa Bwana alishuka na kulivingirisha lile jiwe, kisha akalikalia.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
3 Sura yake ilikuwa kama ya umeme, na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4 Wale walinzi walijawa na hofu na kuwa kama wafu.
The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.
5 Yule malaika akawafafanulia wale wananawake akisema, “msiogope kwa maana najua kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu, aliyesulibiwa.
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 Hayupo hapa, lakini amefufuka kama alivyowaambia. Njooni muone mahali ambapo Bwana alilala.
He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.
7 Nendeni haraka mkawaambie wanafunzi wake, 'Amefufuka toka wafu, tazama amewatangulia Galilaya. Huko ndiko mtamwona.' Tazama mimi nimewaambia.”
Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”
8 Wale wanawake waliondoka pale kaburini haraka wakiwa na hofu na furaha kubwa, na wakakimbia kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.
So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.
9 Tazama Yesu akakutana nao na kusema, “Salamu.”wale wanawake walikuja na kushika miguu yake, na kisha wakamwabudu.
Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.
10 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “msiogope, nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu watangulie Galilaya. Huko wataniona.
“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”
11 Wakati wale wanawake walipokuwa wakienda, tazama baadhi ya walinzi walienda mjini na kuwaambia wakuu wa makuhani mambo yote yaliyokuwa yametokea.
While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12 Nao makuhani walipokuwa wamekutana na wazee na kulijadili jambo hilo pamoja nao, walitoa kiasi kikubwa cha pesa kwa wale askari
And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
13 na kuwaambia, “Waambieni wengine kuwa, 'wanafunzi wa Yesu walikuja usiku wakauiba mwili wa Yesu wakati sisi tulipokuwa tumelala.'
and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
14 Kama taarifa hii itamfikia liwali, sisi tutamshawishi na kuwaondoleeni ninyi mashaka yote.”
If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
15 Kwa hiyo wale askari wakazichukua zile pesa na kufanya kama walivyokuwa wameelekezwa. Habari hii ikaenea sana kwa Wayahudi na imekuwa hivyo hadi leo.
So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.
16 Lakini wale mitume kumi na mmoja walienda Galilaya, kwenye ule mlima aliokuwa amewaelekeza.
Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.
17 Nao walipomwona, walimwabudu. lakini baadhi yao waliona shaka.
When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
18 Yesu akaja kwao akawambia akisema, “Nimepewa mamlaka yote duniani na mbinguni.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 Kwa hiyo enendeni mkawafanye mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi. Wabatizeni katika jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtatkatifu.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
