Mathayo 28
1 Pamande ilyewele isiku ili Sabato, isenye lwalyaswanga awale isiku ilyahuande ijuma, Umariamu Magdalena, nula Umariamu uweche bhahawalile ahwenye ikaburi.
After (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) [ended], on Sunday morning at dawn, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 Bhenya hwahali itetemeko igosi, maana ukuwa wa Bwana ahishile huliwungu lushe iwe lila, alafu ahali khalila.
Suddenly there was a strong earthquake. [At the same time] an angel from God came down from heaven. He [went to the tomb and] rolled the stone away [from the entrance so that everyone could see that the tomb was empty]. Then he sat on the stone.
3 Isura yakwe ihalije umeme na amenda gakwe gahali mazelu aje choka.
His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 Bhala abhalizi bhahamema uwonga bhabhaje wofyinye.
The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
5 Ola ukuwa akhabhalanganyizwa wala awashe akhabhawozya bhasahahongope maana imenye aje muhumwanza u Yesu, yahakhomayenywe.
The angel said to the two women, “You should not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was {whom they} (nailed to a cross/crucified).
6 Numo epa, lakini azyoshele nanzi shakhabhawuzezye. Inzaji mwenye pabhakhagonezye u Bwana.
He is not here! [God] has (caused him to be alive again/raised him [from the dead]), just like [Jesus] told you [would happen!] Come and see the place where his body lay!
7 Bhalaji nalinali hubhawuzye abhanafunzi wakwe, 'Azyoshile afume hwabhafwe, enyi abhatagaliye Hugalilaya. Ukho hwamuzahunole.' Anya ane imbawozezye.”
Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead! He will go ahead of you to Galilee [district]. You will see him there.’ [Pay attention to what] I have told you!”
8 Bhala abhashe bhakhasongola pale pikaburi nalinali shabhali nuwoga na bhahashiye sana, bhakhashembele hubhabhuzye abhanafunzi wakwe.
So the women left the tomb quickly. They were afraid, but they were [also] very joyful. They ran to tell us disciples [what had happened].
9 Enya u Yesu ahatangana nao ahangaa, “Salamu.” Bhala abhashe bhahenza na hukhante amanama gakwe, nantele bhahapunta.
Suddenly, [as they were running], Jesus appeared to them. He said, “Greetings!” The women came close to him. They knelt down and clasped his feet and worshipped him.
10 Nantele u Yesu ahabhabhuzya, “Musakhahongope, bhalaji mubhawuzye abhaholo bhane bhalongolele Hugalilaya. Ukho bhaza hundele.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go and tell (all my disciples/all those who have been accompanying me) that they should go to Galilee. They will see me there.”
11 Wakati wala awashe bhabhalaga enya abhamo abhalinzi bhahabhala humjini na hubhabhuzye abhagosi wamakuhani amambo gonti gagafumiye.
While the women were going, some of the soldiers who had been guarding [the tomb] went into the city. They reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
12 Nepe amakuhani twabhahatangana na bhazee, nayangane ijambo elyo peka nao, bhahafumizye ishiasi ishigosi shi hela lwabhala abhalogo
So the chief priests and Jewish elders met together. They made a plan [to explain why the tomb was empty]. They gave the soldiers a lot of money [as a bribe].
13 na hubhabhuzye, “Yangaji hwabhamwao aje, 'abhanafunzi wa Yesu bhahezele nusuku ahwibhe ubele gwa Yesu lwatigonile ante.'
They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
14 Ihabali ene nkifishile uliwali, ate linza hubebelezye na hubhefuezye amwe amashaka gonti.”
If the governor hears [MTY] about this, we ourselves will make sure that he does not get angry [and punish you]. [So you will not have to worry].”
15 Bhala abhalugu bhahazienga ihela zila nawombo shabhawuzewelwe. Ihabari ikheneyesana hwabhayahudi ilekho mpaka ilelo.
So the soldiers took the money and did as they were told {as [the chief priests and elders] told them}. And this story has been told {People have told this story} among the Jews to the very day [that I am writing] this.
16 Lakini bhala abhatumi kumi na moja bhahabhalile Hugalilaya, hula hwigamba hwakhabhawuzezye.
[Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
17 Lwabhahanola bhakhaputile. Walakini abhamo bhakhalola ishaka.
We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
18 Yesu akaja akawambia akisema, “Nimepewa mamlaka yote duniani na mbinguni.
Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
19 Eshi bhalaji mubhabheshe abha munsi wonti abhe bhanafunzi, wuoziaji hwitawa lya Daada nalya mwana nilya upepo ufijile.
So go, and [using my authority, teach my message to] people of all ethnic groups so that they may become my disciples. Baptize them [to be under the authority of] [MTY] my Father, and of me, his Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
