Matthew 28
1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Zvino pakupera kwesabata kotanga kuedza, koenda kumusi wekutanga wevhiki, kwakasvika Maria Magidharini neumwe Maria kuzoona guva.
2 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.
Zvino tarira, kwakaitika kudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru, nokuti mutumwa waIshe wakaburuka kubva kudenga, akaswedera, akakungurusa ibwe kubva pamukova, akagara pamusoro paro.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
Kuonekwa kwake kwakange kwakaita semheni, nechipfeko chake chaiva chichena semagada echando.
4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
Zvino varindi vakadedera nekumutya, vakava sevakafa.
5 The angel answered the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
Asi mutumwa akapindura akati kuvakadzi: Musatya imwi; nokuti ndinoziva kuti munotsvaka Jesu wakange arovererwa pamuchinjikwa.
6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
Haasi pano; nokuti wamuka sezvaakareva. Uyai muone nzvimbo Ishe paakange arere.
7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
Kurumidzai kuenda munoudza vadzidzi vake kuti wamuka kuvakafa; uye tarirai anokutungamirirai kuGarirea, ikoko muchanomuona; tarirai, ndakuudzai.
8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
Ndokubva vakakurumidza kubuda paguva vane kutya nemufaro mukuru, vakamhanyira kunoudza vadzidzi vake.
9 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
Zvino vakati vachienda kunoudza vadzidzi vake, tarira, Jesu wakavachingamidza, achiti: Hekanhi! Vakaswedera vakabata tsoka dzake vakamunamata.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Musatya; endai, munoudza hama dzangu kuti vaende kuGarirea, uye vachanondionako.
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
Vakati vachifamba, tarira, vamwe vevarindi vakaenda muguta vakapira vapristi vakuru zvese zvakaitika.
12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
Vakati vaungana nevakuru, vakarangana, vakapa mari zhinji kumauto,
13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
vachiti: Itii: Vadzidzi vake vakauya usiku vakamuba isu tirere.
14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
Kana izvi zvikazikanwa kumutungamiriri, isu tichamunyengerera, tikuitei musava mukushungurudzika.
15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
Ndokubva vatora mari vakaita sezvavakadzidziswa. Shoko iri rikaparadzirwa pakati peVaJudha kusvikira nhasi.
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
Zvino vadzidzi gumi neumwe vakaenda kuGarirea, kugomo Jesu raakavaraira.
17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
Vakati vachimuona, vakamunamata; asi vamwe vakakonona.
18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Jesu ndokuswedera akataura kwavari, achiti: Simba rese rakapiwa kwandiri kudenga nepanyika.
19 Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Endai naizvozvo muite marudzi ese vadzidzi, muchivabhabhatidza muzita raBaba nereMwanakomana nereMweya Mutsvene;
