¹Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

¹ Za da hinay jirbi iyya zaari sintina, za kubay-kubay go no, Maryama, Magdaliya bora kaa saara do. A di kaŋ i na tondo kaa saara gaa.

¹Now on the first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.

²Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”

² A binde zuru ka kaa Siman Bitros da talibi fa din kaŋ Yesu ga ba do. A ne i se: «I na Rabbi sambu ka kaa saara ra. Iri si bay mo naŋ kaŋ i n'a jisi.»

²She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

³Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

³ Bitros da talibi fa din binde fatta ka koy saara do.

³Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

⁴They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

⁴ I goono ga zuru ka koy care banda. Talibi fa din mo na Bitros yana ka kaa saara do.

⁴And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

⁵Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn’t enter in.

⁵ A niigaw ka guna saara ra. Kal a di lin* zaarey goono ga jisi sallante ngey nango ra, amma a mana furo saara ra.

⁵and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.

⁶Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

⁶ Siman Bitros mo kaa a banda. A furo saara ra. A di lin zaarey goono ga jisi sallante ngey nango ra,

⁶Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,

⁷and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁷ da diko kaŋ go boŋo gaa. A di woodin si zaarey ra jisante, amma a go kunkunante nangu fo waani nga hinne.

⁷and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁸So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

⁸ Waato gaa talibi fa din mo kaŋ jin ka kaa saara do furo. Nga mo di ka cimandi.

⁸Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

⁹For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

⁹ Zama hala hõ i mana faham da Irikoy Tira Hanna kaŋ ne tilas a ga tun ka fun buukoy game ra.

⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

¹⁰So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

¹⁰ Talibey ye ka koy ngey kwaara.

¹⁰So the disciples went away again unto their own home.

¹¹But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

¹¹ Amma Maryama kay saara do taray, a goono ga baray. Waato kaŋ a go bara gaa, kal a niigaw ka guna saara ra.

¹¹But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

¹²and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹² A di malayka hinka kaŋ yaŋ gaa bankaaray kwaaray yaŋ go. I goono ga goro, afo boŋo do, afa mo cey do, nango kaŋ Yesu kani doŋ.

¹²and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³They told her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”

¹³ Malaykey ne a se: «Waybora, ifo se no ni goono ga baray?» A ne i se: «Zama i n'ay Rabbo sambu, ay si bay mo naŋ kaŋ i n'a jisi.»

¹³And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

¹⁴ Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci, a bare ka zagu. A di Yesu goono ga kay, amma a mana bay kaŋ Yesu no.

¹⁴When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

¹⁵ Yesu ne a se: «Waybora, ifo se no ni goono ga baray? May no ni go ga ceeci?» Maryama mo tammahã kali koyo no. A ne a se: «Ay jine bora, da nin no n'a sambu ka kond'a nangu fo, ma ci ay se nango kaŋ ni n'a jisi, ay mo g'a sambu.»

¹⁵Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

¹⁶Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.” !” which is to say, “Teacher or, Master !”

¹⁶ Yesu ne a se: «Maryama!» A zagu ka ne a se Yahudancey sanno ra: «Rabbuni!» (Danga Alfa nooya.)

¹⁶Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.

¹⁷Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

¹⁷ Yesu ne a se: «Ma s'ay di zama ay mana kaaru ka koy Baaba do jina. Amma ma koy ay nya-izey do ka ci i se ka ne ay goono ga kaaru ka koy ay Baaba nd'araŋ Baaba do, ay Irikoyo nd'araŋ Irikoyo no.»

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

¹⁸ Maryama, Magdaliya bora, kaa ka ci talibey se ka ne: «Ay di Rabbi!» A ci i se mo kaŋ a na hayey din ci nga se.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and [that] he had said these things unto her.

¹⁹When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

¹⁹ Zaaro din wiciri kambo, habo zaari sintina ra, kaŋ fu meyey go daabante nango kaŋ talibey go Yahudancey humburkumay sabbay se, Yesu kaa ka kay i bindo ra ka ne: «Laakal kanay ma bara araŋ banda.»

¹⁹When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

²⁰When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

²⁰ Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci, a na nga kambey da nga carawo cabe i se. Talibey binde farhã waato kaŋ i di Rabbi.

²⁰And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

²¹Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

²¹ Yesu binde ne i se koyne: «Laakal kanay ma bara araŋ banda. Mate kaŋ cine Baaba n'ay donton, yaadin cine no ay mo g'araŋ donton.»

²¹Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

²²When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!

²² Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci, a funsu i gaa ka ne: «Wa Biya Hanna ta.

²²And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:

²³ If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”

²³ Boro kulu kaŋ araŋ n'a zunubey yaafa a se, Irikoy jin k'i yaafa a se nooya. Boro kulu mo kaŋ araŋ g'a zunubey lasaabu a se, Irikoy jin k'i lasaabu a se nooya.»

²³whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.

²⁴ Amma Toma, kaŋ ga ti i boro way cindi hinka ra afo, kaŋ se i ga ne Taway, nga wo si i banda waato kaŋ Yesu kaa.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

²⁵ Talibi cindey binde goono ga ne a se: «Iri di Rabbi!» Amma a ne i se: «D'ay mana di kuusayzey dolley a kambey ra, d'ay man'ay kambayzo daŋ kuusayzey nangey ra, d'ay man'ay kamba daŋ a carawo ra mo, kulu ay si cimandi abada.»

²⁵The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁶After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace be to you.”

²⁶ Jirbi ahakku banda a talibey go fuwo ra koyne, Toma mo go i banda. Yesu kaa, fu meyey go daabante. A kaa ka kay i bindo ra ka ne i se: «Laakal kanay ma bara araŋ banda.»

²⁶And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.

²⁷Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”

²⁷ Waato gaa a ne Toma se: «Kande ni kambayze neewo, m'ay kambey guna mo. Ma kande ni kambe ka daŋ ay carawo ra mo. Ma si goro nda cimandiyaŋ-jaŋay, amma ma cimandi.»

²⁷Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

²⁸Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

²⁸ Toma tu a se ka ne: «Ay Rabbo nd'ay Irikoyo!»

²⁸Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

²⁹Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, TR adds “ Thomas,” you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”

²⁹ Yesu ne a se: «Zama ni di ay, ni cimandi. Albarkante no borey kaŋ yaŋ mana di, amma i cimandi.»

²⁹Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.

³⁰Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

³⁰ Alaama boobo fooyaŋ go no kaŋ Yesu te talibey jine kaŋ si hantumante tira wo ra.

³⁰Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:

³¹but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

³¹ Amma woone yaŋ go hantumante zama araŋ ma cimandi kaŋ Yesu ga ti Almasihu, Irikoy Izo, cimandiyaŋ ra mo araŋ ma du fundi a maa ra.

³¹but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
