¹And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,

¹¶ Na i te ra tuatahi o te wiki, i te tino ata po, ka haere mai ratou ki te urupa, me te mau mai i nga mea kakara kua mahia nei e ratou.

²and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,

²A rokohanga atu e ratou kua hurihia te kamaka i te urupa.

³and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

³A ka tomo ratou ki roto; kihai i kitea te tinana o te Ariki, o Ihu.

⁴And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,

⁴Na, i a ratou e pokaikaha ana ki tenei, na, tu ana nga tangata tokorua i o ratou taha, uira tonu nga kakahu.

⁵and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the living with the dead?

⁵Na, i a ratou e mataku ana, e kupapa iho ana o ratou kanohi ki te whenua, ka mea raua ki a ratou, he aha koutou ka rapu ai i te tangata ora i roto i te hunga mate?

⁶he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee,

⁶Kahore ia i konei, engari kua ara: kia mahara ki tana i mea ai ki a koutou i a ia ano i Kariri,

⁷saying — It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.`

⁷Ki tana meatanga, Kua takoto te tikanga kia tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o te hunga hara, kia ripekatia, a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.

⁸And they remembered his sayings,

⁸Na ka mahara ratou ki ana kupu;

⁹and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

⁹A hoki mai ana i te urupa, ka korero i enei mea katoa ki te tekau ma tahi, ki a ratou ko era atu katoa.

¹⁰And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,

¹⁰Na ko Meri Makarini ratou ko Hoana, ko Meri whaea o Hemi, ko o ratou hoa wahine, nga kaikorero i enei mea ki nga apotoro.

¹¹and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.

¹¹A ko te ahua o aua kupu ki ta ratou whakaaro he mea tito noa; kihai i whakaponohia e ratou.

¹²And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

¹²Katahi ka whakatika a Pita, ka oma ki te urupa: a, ko tona pikonga iho ka kite, ko nga kakahu takai anake e takoto ana; a hoki ana ki tona whare me te miharo ano i roto i a ia ki taua mea i meatia.

¹³And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] Emmaus,

¹³¶ Na tokorua o ratou e haere ana i taua ra ki tetahi kainga, e ono tekau paronga te matara i Hiruharama, ko Emauha te ingoa.

¹⁴and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.

¹⁴E korerorero ana hoki raua tetahi ki tetahi ki enei mea katoa i meinga.

¹⁵And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on with them,

¹⁵A, i a raua e korerorero ana, e uiui ana ki a raua, na ko Ihu, ko ia tonu, kua whakatata, a haere tahi ana me raua.

¹⁶and their eyes were holden so as not to know him,

¹⁶I puritia hoki o raua kanohi, i kore ai raua e mohio ki a ia.

¹⁷and he said unto them, `What [are] these words that ye exchange with one another, walking, and ye are sad?`

¹⁷Na ka mea ia ki a raua, he aha enei kupu e korero nei korua ki a korua, i a korua e haere nei? Na ka tu raua, kihai i korikori, me te ahua pouri.

¹⁸And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, `Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass in it in these days?`

¹⁸Na ka whakahoki tetahi, ko Kereopa te ingoa, ka mea ki a ia, I Hiruharama koe e noho ana, a ko koe anake kahore i mohio ki nga mea kua meinga nei ki reira i enei ra?

¹⁹And he said to them, `What things?` And they said to him, `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man — a prophet — powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

¹⁹Ka mea ia ki a raua, Ki ehea mea? Ka mea raua ki a ia, Ki nga mea o Ihu o Nahareta, he poropiti hoki ia, he kaha tana mahi, tana kupu, i te aroaro o te Atua, o te iwi katoa:

²⁰how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;

²⁰Ki tona hoatutanga e nga tohunga nui, e o matou rangatira hoki, kia tukua ki te mate, a ripekatia ana ia.

²¹and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.

²¹I tumanako ano matou ki a ia, mana e whakaora a Iharaira. Na i te taha o enei mea katoa, ko te toru tenei o nga ra i meinga ai enei mea.

²²`And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,

²²A miharo noa iho matou ki etahi wahine o matou, i haere i te atatu ki te urupa;

²³and not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive,

²³Heoi, i te korenga i kitea e ratou tona tinana, ka hoki mai, ka mea, i kitea ano e ratou he putanga anahera, e ki ana mai kei te ora ia.

²⁴and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.`

²⁴Na ka haere atu etahi o o maua hoa ki te urupa, a rokohanga atu, rite tonu ki ta nga wahine i korero ai: otira kihai ia i kitea.

²⁵And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!

²⁵Na ko tana meatanga ki a raua, E te hunga whakaarokore, ngakau puhoi ki te whakapono ki nga mea katoa i korero ai nga poropiti:

²⁶Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?`

²⁶Kahore ianei i takoto te tikanga kia pa enei mea ki a te Karaiti, kia tomo ia ki tona kororia?

²⁷and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself.

²⁷Na ka timata ia ki ta Mohi, ki ta nga poropiti katoa, whakaaturia ana ki a raua nga mea mona o nga karaipiture katoa.

²⁸And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further,

²⁸A ka tata ki te kainga i haere ai raua: na ka ahu atu ia, me te mea e haere tonu ana ia.

²⁹and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it is toward evening,` and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.

²⁹Na ka tohe raua ki a ia, ka mea, E noho ki a maua: kua ahiahi hoki, kua titaha te ra. Na ka tomo atu ia, ka noho ki a raua.

³⁰And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them,

³⁰A, i tona nohoanga iho ki a raua ki te kai, ka mau ia ki te taro, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana ki a raua.

³¹and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became unseen by them.

³¹Na kua kite o raua kanohi, a ka mohio ki a ia; a ngaro whakarere atu ia i a raua.

³²And they said one to another, `Was not our heart burning within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?`

³²A ka mea raua ki a raua, Kihai koia o taua ngakau i mumura i roto i a taua, i a ia e korero ana ki a taua i te ara, e whakaatu ana i nga karaipiture ki a taua?

³³And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them,

³³Na ka whakatika raua i taua haora ano, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama, a rokohanga atu kua huihui te tekau ma tahi me o ratou hoa,

³⁴saying — `The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;`

³⁴E mea ana, Koia rawa ano! kua ara te Ariki, kua puta ki a Haimona.

³⁵and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,

³⁵Na ka korerotia e raua nga meatanga i te ara, to raua mohiotanga hoki ki a ia i te whatiwhatinga o te taro.

³⁶and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace — to you;`

³⁶¶ A, i a raua e korero ana i enei mea, na tera ia tu ana i waenganui o ratou, mea ana ki a ratou, Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou.

³⁷and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.

³⁷Otira koera ana ratou, wehi ana; i mahara hoki he wairua ta ratou i kite ai.

³⁸And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?

³⁸Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka pororaru ai? na te aha hoki i puta ake ai nga whakaaroaronga i roto i o koutou ngakau?

³⁹see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.`

³⁹Tirohia oku ringa me oku waewae, ko ahau tonu tenei: whawhakia ahau, kia kite ai koutou; kahore hoki o te wairua kikokiko, wheua ranei, penei i oku e kitea mai na e koutou.

⁴⁰And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,

⁴⁰A, no ka korerotia e ia tenei, ka whakakitea e ia ki a ratou ona ringa me ona waewae.

⁴¹and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?`

⁴¹A, i a ratou kahore nei i whakapono i te hari, e miharo ana hoki, ka mea ia ki a ratou, he kai ranei ta koutou kei konei?

⁴²and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb,

⁴²Na ka hoatu e ratou ki a ia tetahi ika, he mea tunutunu, me te honi.

⁴³and having taken, he did eat before them,

⁴³Na ka tango ia, a kainga ana e ia i to ratou aroaro.

⁴⁴and he said to them, `These [are] the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.`

⁴⁴I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko nga kupu enei i korero ai ahau ki a koutou, i ahau ano i a koutou, me whakarite nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi i roto i te ture a Mohi, i nga poropiti, i nga waiata, moku.

⁴⁵Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,

⁴⁵Katahi ia ka whakamakoha i o ratou hinengaro, kia matau ai ki nga karaipiture,

⁴⁶and he said to them — `Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

⁴⁶Ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te mea tenei i tuhituhia, ko te tikanga ano tenei, ko te Karaiti kia whakamamaetia, kia ara ano i te hunga mate i te toru o nga ra:

⁴⁷and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

⁴⁷Kia kauwhautia hoki te ripeneta me te murunga hara i runga i tona ingoa ki nga tauiwi katoa; ki Hiruharama timata ai.

⁴⁸and ye — ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁸Na ko koutou hei kaiwhakaatu mo enei mea.

⁴⁹`And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye — abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.`

⁴⁹Nana, maku e tuku ki a koutou te mea i korerotia i mua e toku Matua: otiia e noho koutou ki te pa, ki Hiruharama, kia whiwhi ra ano ki te kaha i runga.

⁵⁰And he led them forth without — unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,

⁵⁰¶ Na arahina ana ratou e ia ki waho, ki Petani, na kua ara ona ringa, whakapaingia ana ratou e ia.

⁵¹and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;

⁵¹A, i a ia e whakapai ana i a ratou, ka mawehe atu ia i a ratou, kahakina atu ana ki te rangi.

⁵²and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵²Na ka koropiko ratou ki a ia, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama, he nui hoki te koa:

⁵³and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

⁵³A noho tonu ai ratou i te temepara, me te whakapai ki te Atua. Amine.
