¹And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,

¹¶ I te mutunga o te hapati i te mea ka tata tonu te puao te ra tuatahi o te wiki, ka haere a Meri Makarini me tera Meri kia kite i te tanumanga.

²and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,

²Na he nui te ru i puta mai: i heke iho hoki tetahi anahera a te Ariki i te rangi, a haere ana, whakataka atu ana e ia te kohatu i te kuwaha, a noho ana i runga.

³and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,

³Ko tona ahua me te mea he uira, ma tonu tona kakahu ano he hukarere:

⁴and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.

⁴A wiri noa iho nga kaitiaki i te wehi ki a ia, ka rite ki te tupapaku.

⁵And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;

⁵Na ka oho te anahera, ka mea ki nga wahine, Kei wehi korua: e matau ana hoki ahau, e rapu ana korua i a Ihu i ripekatia.

⁶he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;

⁶Kahore ia i konei: kua ara ke, kua pera me tana i mea ai. Haere mai kia kite i te wahi i takoto ai te Ariki.

⁷and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.`

⁷A hohoro te haere, korerotia ki ana akonga, kua ara ia i te hunga mate: tena ia te haere na i mua i a koutou ki Kariri; ko reira koutou kite ai i a ia: na kua korero nei ahau ki a korua.

⁸And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;

⁸A hohoro tonu ta raua haere atu i te urupa, me te wehi, me te harakoa nui, a oma ana ki te korero ki ana akonga.

⁹and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!` and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

⁹Na ka tutaki a Ihu ki a raua, ka mea mai, E ia ma. Na ka haere atu raua, ka pupuri i ona waewae, ka koropiko ki a ia.

¹⁰Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.`

¹⁰Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki a raua, Aua e wehi: haere, ki atu ki oku teina kia haere ki Kariri, ko reira hoki ratou kite ai i ahau.

¹¹And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,

¹¹¶ A, i a raua e haere ana, na kua tae etahi o nga kaitiaki ki te pa, kua korero ki nga tohunga nui i nga mea katoa i meatia.

¹²and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,

¹²Na, ka mutu ta ratou huihui ko nga kaumatua a ka runanga, ka hoatu e ratou he moni nui ki nga hoia,

¹³saying, `Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him — we being asleep;

¹³Ka mea atu, Me ki e koutou, I haere ana akonga i te po, a tahaetia ana ia, i a matou e moe ana.

¹⁴and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.`

¹⁴A, ki te tae te rongo o tenei ki te kawana, ma matou ia e whakamarie, a kahore he manukanuka mo koutou.

¹⁵And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.

¹⁵Na ka tango ratou i nga moni, a meinga ana nga mea i akona ai ratou: heoi kei te korerotia tenei e nga Hurai, a taea noatia tenei ra.

¹⁶And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,

¹⁶¶ Na ka haere nga akonga tekau ma tahi ki Kariri, ki te maunga i whakaritea e Ihu ki a ratou.

¹⁷and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.

¹⁷A, i to ratou kitenga i a ia, ka koropiko ki a ia: ko etahi ia i ruarua.

¹⁸And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

¹⁸Na ka haere mai a Ihu, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Kua tukua katoatia mai ki ahau te mana i te rangi, a i runga i te whenua.

¹⁹having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁹Na reira haere, meinga hei akonga nga iwi katoa, iriiria i runga i te ingoa o te Matua, o te Tama, o te Wairua tapu:

²⁰teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days — till the full end of the age.`

²⁰Akona ratou kia mau ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koutou: na, ko ahau tena hei hoa mo koutou i nga ra katoa, a te mutunga ra ano o te ao. Amine.
