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.
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 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 the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 Sura yake ilikuwa kama ya umeme, na mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 Wale walinzi walijawa na hofu na kuwa kama wafu.
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men].
5 Yule malaika akawafafanulia wale wananawake akisema, “msiogope kwa maana najua kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu, aliyesulibiwa.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
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 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 Wale wanawake waliondoka pale kaburini haraka wakiwa na hofu na furaha kubwa, na wakakimbia kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run 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 tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “msiogope, nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu watangulie Galilaya. Huko wataniona.
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 Wakati wale wanawake walipokuwa wakienda, tazama baadhi ya walinzi walienda mjini na kuwaambia wakuu wa makuhani mambo yote yaliyokuwa yametokea.
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 Nao makuhani walipokuwa wamekutana na wazee na kulijadili jambo hilo pamoja nao, walitoa kiasi kikubwa cha pesa kwa wale askari
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13 na kuwaambia, “Waambieni wengine kuwa, 'wanafunzi wa Yesu walikuja usiku wakauiba mwili wa Yesu wakati sisi tulipokuwa tumelala.'
Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him [away] while we slept.
14 Kama taarifa hii itamfikia liwali, sisi tutamshawishi na kuwaondoleeni ninyi mashaka yote.”
And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
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 they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16 Lakini wale mitume kumi na mmoja walienda Galilaya, kwenye ule mlima aliokuwa amewaelekeza.
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 Nao walipomwona, walimwabudu. lakini baadhi yao waliona shaka.
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 Yesu akaja kwao akawambia akisema, “Nimepewa mamlaka yote duniani na mbinguni.
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Kwa hiyo enendeni mkawafanye mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi. Wabatizeni katika jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtatkatifu.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
