Kulandzisa KwaMatewu
28 Ngemuva kweliSabatha, kusesekuseni ngeluvivi ngelilanga lekucala evikini,* Mariya waseMagdala nalolomunye Mariya beta batobuka lelithuna.+
2 Kwaba khona kutamatama kwemhlaba lokukhulu, ngobe ingilosi yaJehova* beyehle ezulwini yafike yagicita lelitje, yase ihlala etikwalo.+ 3 Lengilosi beyikhanya njengembane, netimphahla tayo betimhlophe njengesitfwatfwa.+ 4 Ngenca yekwesaba, labogadzi betfuka kakhulu baze bangasanyakati.
5 Kodvwa lengilosi yatsi kulabafati: “Ningesabi, ngiyati kutsi nifuna Jesu lobekabulawelwe elugodvweni.+ 6 Akekho lapha, ngobe uvusiwe njengobe asho.+ Wotani nitobona lapho bebambeke khona. 7 Nibobese niyahamba masinyane, niyobikela bafundzi bakhe nitsi: ‘Jesu uvusiwe ekufeni, futsi nyalo usendleleni uya eGalile;+ nitamkhandza khona.’ Nguloku-ke lebengitonitjela kona.”+
8 Ngako besuka ngekushesha kulelithuna. Bebesaba kepha bajabule kakhulu, futsi bagijima bayobikela bafundzi baJesu.+ 9 Jesu wahlangana nabo, watsi: “Sanibonani!” Basondzela kuye bafike batsintsa tinyawo takhe base bakhotsama embikwakhe. 10 Jesu watsi kubo: “Ningesabi! Hambani niyobikela bafundzi bami kuze baye eGalile lapho batangikhandza khona.”
11 Labafati batsi nabasesendleleni, labanye balabogadzi+ baya edolobheni bafike babikela baphristi labakhulu konkhe lobekwentekile. 12 Ngemuva kwekutsi labaphristi labakhulu nemadvodza lamadzala sebakhe lisu, banika labogadzi imali lenyenti, 13 base batsi: “Nibotsi: ‘Bafundzi bakhe bafike ebusuku silele bameba.’+ 14 Nangabe umbusi eva ngalendzaba, tsine sitawukhuluma naye,* kute sidzingo sekutsi nine nikhatsateke.” 15 Ngako labogadzi bayitsatsa lemali futsi benta njengobe batjeliwe. Kuze kube ngulamuhla, emaJuda solo awabamba lamanga.
16 Bafundzi labangu-11 baya kulentsaba yaseGalile+ lapho Jesu abetsite batawuhlangana khona.+ 17 Batsi nabambona bamkhotsamela, kodvwa labanye abakholwanga kutsi nguye. 18 Jesu wasondzela kubo, watsi: “Nginikwe lonkhe ligunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni.+ 19 Ngako-ke hambani nente bantfu bato tonkhe tive babe bafundzi bami,+ nibabhabhatise+ egameni laBabe, neleNdvodzana, nelemoya longcwele, 20 nibafundzise kugcina konkhe lenginitjele kona.+ Nibowati kutsi mine nginani onkhe emalanga kuze kube sekupheleni kwalelive.”*+
