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.
Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre.
2 Tazama kulikuwa na tetemeko kubwa, kwa sababu malaika wa Bwana alishuka na kulivingirisha lile jiwe, kisha akalikalia.
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
3 Sura yake ilikuwa kama ya umeme, na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.
And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 Wale walinzi walijawa na hofu na kuwa kama wafu.
And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.
5 Yule malaika akawafafanulia wale wananawake akisema, “msiogope kwa maana najua kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu, aliyesulibiwa.
And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.
6 Hayupo hapa, lakini amefufuka kama alivyowaambia. Njooni muone mahali ambapo Bwana alilala.
He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 Nendeni haraka mkawaambie wanafunzi wake, 'Amefufuka toka wafu, tazama amewatangulia Galilaya. Huko ndiko mtamwona.' Tazama mimi nimewaambia.”
And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.
8 Wale wanawake waliondoka pale kaburini haraka wakiwa na hofu na furaha kubwa, na wakakimbia kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.
And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word.
9 Tazama Yesu akakutana nao na kusema, “Salamu.”wale wanawake walikuja na kushika miguu yake, na kisha wakamwabudu.
And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.
10 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “msiogope, nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu watangulie Galilaya. Huko wataniona.
Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
11 Wakati wale wanawake walipokuwa wakienda, tazama baadhi ya walinzi walienda mjini na kuwaambia wakuu wa makuhani mambo yote yaliyokuwa yametokea.
And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place.
12 Nao makuhani walipokuwa wamekutana na wazee na kulijadili jambo hilo pamoja nao, walitoa kiasi kikubwa cha pesa kwa wale askari
And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
13 na kuwaambia, “Waambieni wengine kuwa, 'wanafunzi wa Yesu walikuja usiku wakauiba mwili wa Yesu wakati sisi tulipokuwa tumelala.'
saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him [while] we [were] sleeping.
14 Kama taarifa hii itamfikia liwali, sisi tutamshawishi na kuwaondoleeni ninyi mashaka yote.”
And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, we will persuade him, and save you from all anxiety.
15 Kwa hiyo wale askari wakazichukua zile pesa na kufanya kama walivyokuwa wameelekezwa. Habari hii ikaenea sana kwa Wayahudi na imekuwa hivyo hadi leo.
And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day.
16 Lakini wale mitume kumi na mmoja walienda Galilaya, kwenye ule mlima aliokuwa amewaelekeza.
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain which Jesus had appointed them.
17 Nao walipomwona, walimwabudu. lakini baadhi yao waliona shaka.
And when they saw him, they did homage to him: but some doubted.
18 Yesu akaja kwao akawambia akisema, “Nimepewa mamlaka yote duniani na mbinguni.
And Jesus coming up spoke to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth.
19 Kwa hiyo enendeni mkawafanye mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi. Wabatizeni katika jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtatkatifu.
Go [therefore] and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;
