1 Mu makya g’olunaku olusooka mu wiiki, Maliyamu Magudaleene n’ajja ku ntaana, ng’obudde tebunnalaba bulungi, n’alaba ejjinja nga liggiddwa ku ntaana. 2 N’adduka n’agenda eri Simooni Peetero n’eri omuyigirizwa omulala Yesu gwe yayagalanga ennyo n’abagamba nti, “Mukama waffe bamuggyeemu mu ntaana, era simanyi gye bamutadde!”

3 Awo Peetero n’omuyigirizwa oli omulala ne bafuluma ne balaga ku ntaana. 4 Bombi ne bagenda nga badduka, omuyigirizwa oli omulala n’ayisa Peetero n’amusooka ku ntaana. 5 N’akutama n’alaba engoye za linena nga ziteekeddwa awo, kyokka n’atayingira mu ntaana. 6 Awo ne Simooni Peetero n’atuuka, n’ayingira mu ntaana, n’alaba engoye za linena nga ziteekeddwa awo. 7 N’alaba n’ekitambaala ekyali ku mutwe gwa Yesu. Kyali tekiteekeddwa wamu na ngoye, wabula kyali kizingiddwa era nga kiteekebbwa ku bbali. 8 N’omuyigirizwa oli omulala, eyasooka okutuuka ku ntaana n’ayingira. N’alaba era n’akkiriza. 9 Kubanga okutuusiza ddala mu kiseera ekyo baali tebannategeera ekyawandiikibwa nti: Kimugwanira okuzuukira mu bafu. 10 Awo abayigirizwa ne baddayo ewaabwe eka.

11 Maliyamu Magudaleene yali ayimiridde wabweru w’entaana ng’akaaba. N’akutama. N’alingiza mu ntaana nga bw’akaaba, 12 n’alaba bamalayika babiri, nga bali mu ngoye enjeru nga batudde; omu emitwetwe n’omulala emirannamiro w’ekifo omulambo gwa Yesu we gwali guteekeddwa.

13 Bamalayika ne bamubuuza nti, “Omukyala, okaabira ki?”

N’abaddamu nti, “Kubanga baggyeemu Mukama wange, era simanyi gye bamutadde!” 14 Bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, n’akyuka n’alaba Yesu ng’ayimiridde, kyokka n’atamanya nti ye Yesu.

15 Yesu n’amubuuza nti, “Omukyala okaabira ki? Onoonya ani?”

Maliyamu n’alowooza nti, Ye nannyini nnimiro n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, obanga gw’omuggyeemu, mbuulira gy’omutadde ŋŋende mmuggyeyo.”

16 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Maliyamu!”

Maliyamu n’akyukira Yesu n’amugamba mu Lwebbulaniya nti, “Labooni,” ekitegeeza nti, “Omuyigiriza.”

17 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Tonkwatako kubanga sinnagenda eri Kitange. Naye genda eri baganda bange obagambe nti, ŋŋenda eri Kitange era Kitammwe, Katonda wange era Katonda wammwe.”

18 Maliyamu Magudaleene n’agenda n’abuulira abayigirizwa nga bw’alabye Mukama waffe, era n’abategeeza by’amugambye.

19 Akawungeezi ako abayigirizwa baali bakuŋŋaanidde mu kisenge ng’enzigi nsibe olw’okutya Abayudaaya, Yesu n’ajja n’ayimirira wakati mu bo. N’abagamba nti, “Emirembe gibe mu mmwe.” 20 Bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’abalaga ebibatu bye n’embiriizi ze. Abayigirizwa bwe baalaba Mukama ne basanyuka nnyo.

21 N’addamu nti, “Emirembe gibe mu mmwe. Nga Kitange bwe yantuma, nange bwe mbatuma mmwe.” 22 Bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’abassiza omukka, n’abagamba nti, “Mufune Mwoyo Mutukuvu. 23 Buli muntu gwe munaasonyiwanga ebibi bye anaabanga asonyiyiddwa. Abo be munaagaananga okusonyiwa, banaabanga tebasonyiyiddwa.”

24 Naye Tomasi, omu ku bayigirizwa ekkumi n’ababiri, ayitibwa Didumo, teyali na banne Yesu bwe yajja. 25 Bayigirizwa banne ne bamugamba nti, “Tulabye Mukama waffe.”

Ye n’abagamba nti, “Okuggyako nga ndabye enkovu ez’emisumaali mu bibatu bye, ne nteeka olunwe lwange mu nkovu ezo era ne nteeka ekibatu kyange mu mbiriizi ze, sigenda kukkiriza.”

26 Bwe waayitawo ennaku munaana, abayigirizwa ba Yesu, era bali mu nnyumba, Tomasi yali nabo. Yesu n’ajja, enzigi nga nsibe, n’ayimirira wakati mu bo n’abagamba nti, “Emirembe gibe mu mmwe,” 27 Awo n’agamba Tomasi nti, “Kale teeka engalo zo wano, laba ebibatu byange. Teeka ekibatu kyo mu mbiriizi zange. Lekeraawo okuba atakkiriza, naye kkiriza.”

28 Tomasi n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe Mukama wange era Katonda wange.”

29 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Okkirizza kubanga ondabye. Balina omukisa abakkiriza nga tebaliiko kye balabye.”

30 Yesu yakola ebyamagero ebirala bingi ng’abayigirizwa be balaba, ebitaawandiikibwa mu kitabo kino. 31 Naye bino byawandiikibwa mulyoke mukkirize nti Yesu ye Kristo Omwana wa Katonda era olw’okumukkiriza mulyoke mube n’obulamu mu linnya lye.
