Matthew 28
1 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.
Palyamasile Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, kuninkucha lyuŵa lyaandanda lya chijuma, che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala ni che Maliamu jwine ŵajawile kukulilola lilembe.
2 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.
Chisisimuchile chakopochele chindendemesi chachikulungwa cha chilambo, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵatulwiche kutyochela kwinani, ŵaligalambwile liganga lila ni kutamila.
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
Uwoneche wakwe waliji mpela kumesya ni nguo syakwe syaliji syeswela mbee.
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
Ŵakulindilila lilembe lila ŵatetemele kwa lipamba nnope, ŵaliji mpela ŵawe.
5 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).
Nambo katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵaasalile achakongwe ŵala achitiji, “Ŵanyamwe nkajogopa! Ngumanyilila kuti nkunsosa Che Yesu juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba.
6 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!
Nganapagwa pelepa pakuŵa ŵamale kusyuka mpela iŵasasile. Njise kunnole paŵagonile.
7 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!”
Nipele, njaule chitema nkaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti asyuchile, nombewo akunnongolela ku Galilaya, kweleko chimwasimane. Ayaga, une jwammale kunsalila.”
8 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].
Achiŵaga ni lipamba ni kusengwa kwakukulungwa, achakongwe wo ŵatyosile chitema ku lilembe, achiutukaga kukwasalila ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
9 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.
Chisisimuchile, Che Yesu ŵasimene nawo, ŵatite “Ngunkomasya.” Achakongwe ŵala ŵajawile, ŵagakamwile makongolo gao ni kwapopelela.
10 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.”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nkajogopa! Njaule nkaasalile achalongo ŵangu ajaule ku Galilaya, kweleko ni kuchakamone une.”
11 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.
Achakongwe ŵala pawajaulaga, ŵakulindilila ŵampepe ŵa lilembe ŵajawile mu mmusi kukwasalila achakulu ŵambopesi yanayose iyatendekwe.
12 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].
Nipele, ŵasimene pamo ni achachekulu, ŵatemi nkungulu, pakumala kukunguluka ŵapele ŵakulindilila ŵala mbiya syasijinji,
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
ni kwasalila, “Ŵanyamwe chinjile yeleyi, ‘Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaiche chilo, ŵachijiŵile chiilu uwe tuli tugonile.’
14 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].”
Iŵaga chaimanye yeleyi jwankulu jwa chilambo, uwe chitwanyenje, ni ŵanyamwe ngamma ni masausyo.”
15 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.
Ŵakulindilila ŵala ŵasijigele mbiya sila, ŵatesile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa. Jele ngani jo jajenele pasikati ja Ŵayahudi mpaka lelo jino.
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
Ŵakulijiganya kumi na moja ŵala ŵajawile ku Galilaya ku chitumbi kwaŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu ajaule.
17 We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
Paŵamweni, ŵampopelele, nambo ŵampepe mwa ŵanyawo ŵaliji ni lipamba.
18 Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaiche chiŵandi, ŵaasalile, “Mbegwile ukombole wose kwinani ni pachilambo.
19 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.
Nipele njaule, nkaatende ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose aŵe ŵakulijiganya ŵangu, nchabatisyaga kwa liina lya Atati ni lya Mwana ni lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
20 Teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember that [by the Spirit] I will be with you always, until the end of [this] age.” (aiōn g165)
Nkaajiganye kugakamulichisya gose mpela ila indite pakunnajisya ŵanyamwe. None ndili pamo ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose, elo, mpaka kumbesi kwa chilambo.” (aiōn g165)
