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 came to see the tomb along with the other Mary.
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 descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone from the entrance 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 clothing was as white as snow.
4 Wale walinzi walijawa na hofu na kuwa kama wafu.
The guards were so afraid of him that they trembled and became like dead men.
5 Yule malaika akawafafanulia wale wananawake akisema, “msiogope kwa maana najua kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu, aliyesulibiwa.
Then the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who has been crucified.
6 Hayupo hapa, lakini amefufuka kama alivyowaambia. Njooni muone mahali ambapo Bwana alilala.
He is not here, for he is risen, just 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.”
Now go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. And behold, he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him. Listen to what I have told you.”
8 Wale wanawake waliondoka pale kaburini haraka wakiwa na hofu na furaha kubwa, na wakakimbia kuwaambia wanafunzi wake.
So they went out quickly from the tomb with 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.
As they went on their way to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” So they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “msiogope, nendeni mkawaambie ndugu zangu watangulie Galilaya. Huko wataniona.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and 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.
As they went, behold, some of the guards 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
After the chief priests had assembled with the elders and 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.'
and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were sleeping.’
14 Kama taarifa hii itamfikia liwali, sisi tutamshawishi na kuwaondoleeni ninyi mashaka yote.”
If this matter is heard before the governor, we will persuade him and keep you free from concern.”
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 had been instructed. And this story is still being spread among the Jews today.
16 Lakini wale mitume kumi na mmoja walienda Galilaya, kwenye ule mlima aliokuwa amewaelekeza.
Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them to go.
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 and said to them, “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.
Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
