After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
African Kalanga
Hule kwe Sabatha, mu mahhokuyedza e hhuba le kutanga mu tshipi, Mariya we Magadala na Mariya mmwe bakayenda kunobona kumbu.
English2
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
African Kalanga
Kukabe ne kutengenyeka kwe hango kukulu, ngobe ntumwa wa He wakadeluka kubva kudzimu, kayenda ku kumbu kakunguludza bgwe kagala pehhugwi kwalo.

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
African Kalanga
Wakabe elingika se lupenyo gwe vula ne zwiambalo zwizwe zwili zwitjena se kapuku.
English4
The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
African Kalanga
Balindi bakan’hla kwazo bakatetema bakasala benga banhu bafa.
English5
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
African Kalanga
Ntumwa we kudzimu kati ku bakadzi ibabo, “Musihle, ngobe ndoziba kuti mohaka Jesu wakabambugwa.
English6
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
African Kalanga
Aapo ipapa, wamuka sekwa akaleba. Ihhani mubone paakabe ali lele.

Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
African Kalanga
Kubvapo muyende tjinyolotjo munobudza badiyiwa babe muti, ‘Wamuka mu bafi,’ ngono unowoyenda mbeli kwenyu ku Galili, ikoko mowombona. Bonani ndamubudza.”
English8
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
African Kalanga
Ndizo bakadzi ibabo bakabva pa kumbu tjinyolotjo behla, koga bakahanha kwazo, ngono bakalabuka bakanobudza badiyiwa babe.
English9
Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
African Kalanga
Ngono Jesu kabahangamidza kati, “Mabuyani.” Bakahha kuunli bakabhata makumbo awe bakan'namata.
English10
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
African Kalanga
Ipapo Jesu kati kubali, “Musihle, yendani mubudze makamu angu bayende ku Galili, banowondibona ikoko.”
English11
While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
African Kalanga
Kukati bakadzi batji mu zila, bamwe be balindi bakangina mu nzi nkulu, ngono bakabudza Baphirisiti bakulu tjimwe ne tjimwe tjakahingikala.
English12
When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,
African Kalanga
Kukati Baphirisiti bakulu bahangana ne bakulu be Bajuta, balangana, bakapa babhayani mari njinji ili tjizwimba nlomo,
English13
telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
African Kalanga
beti kubali, “Muti, ‘Badiyiwa babe bakahha pakati kwe busiku bakankwiba iswi titjakayizela.’
English14
If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
African Kalanga
Ikoku akungahha mu zebe dze nlauli, towon'gutsha kuti timuduse mu mbatsha.”
English15
So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
African Kalanga
Ndizo babhayani bakatola mari, bakahinga sekwa babviwa. Ndizo lungano igogu gwakayendilambeli gulebgwa pakati kwe Bajuta kuswikila ngwenu.
English16
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
African Kalanga
Ipapo badiyiwa bali gumi lina ng'ompela bakayenda ku Galili ku dombo Jesu laakababva kuti bayende kulili.
English17
When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
African Kalanga
Bakati bembona bakan'namata, koga bamwe babo bakabe bedudumwa.
English18
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
African Kalanga
Ipapo Jesu kahha kubali kababva kati, “Simba lose kudzimu ne mu hango lakapiwa imi.
English19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
African Kalanga
Ndizo yendani muyite badiyiwa mu zwitjaba zose mubabvubike ne zina la Tate ne le Nkololo ne le Meya yakayengemala,

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

mubadiya kulondolodza tjimwe ne tjimwe tjandakamulaya ne kwatjo. Ngono ne malebeswa ndinamwi misi yose kunoti ku bupelo gwe hango.”
