28

1 Gannaaw bésu noflaay ba nag, ca fajar ga, ca bés bu jëkk ca ayu-bés ga, Maryaamam Magdala ak Maryaama ma ca des dem, seeti bàmmeel ba.
1Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
2 Fekk suuf yengu woon na bu metti, ndaxte benn malaakam Boroom bi wàcc na ci asamaan, ñëw béraŋ doj wa, toog ci kaw.
2Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.
3 Meloom mel na ni melax, ay yéreem weex tàll ni perkaal.
3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 Ñi doon wottu tiit bay lox, daldi mel ni ñu dee.
4For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
5 Noonu malaaka ma ne jigéen ña: «Buleen tiit. Xam naa ne, yéena ngi wut Yeesu, ma ñu daajoon ca bant ba,
5The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
6 waaye nekkatu fi, ndaxte dekki na, ni mu ko waxe woon. Ñëwleen seet fi mu tëddoon,
6He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
7 te ngeen dem bu gaaw, wax ay taalibeem ne, dekki na te jiituji na leen Galile; foofa ngeen koy gise. Lii laa leen wax.»
7Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
8 Bi loolu amee nag jigéen ña daldi jóge bu gaaw ca bàmmeel ba, tiit ak mbég mu réy di jax seen xol, ñu daldi daw, ngir yégal ko taalibe ya.
8They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
9 Ba ñuy dem nag, Yeesu taseek ñoom ne leen: «Maa ngi leen di nuyu.» Jigéen ña jegesi, laxasu cay tànkam, di ko màggal.
9As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10 Yeesu ne leen: «Buleen tiit, waaye demleen yégal samay bokk, ñu dem Galile; foofa lañu may gise.»
10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”
11 Ba ñuy dem, ñenn ca wottukat ya ñëw ca dëkk ba, xamal saraxalekat yu mag ya lépp lu xew.
11Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
12 Noonu saraxalekat ya dajaloo ak njiit ya, ñu diisoo; ba noppi ñu fab xaalis bu bare, jox ko xarekat ya,
12When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
13 ne leen: «Nangeen wax lii: “Ay taalibeem ñëw nañu ci guddi, sàcc ko, bi nuy nelaw.”
13saying, “Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14 Te bu ko boroom réew mi yégee nag, dinanu ko neexal, ngir rawale leen.»
14If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
15 Wottukat ya nag fab xaalis ba, def la ñu leen santoon. Te nettali boobu siiw na ci Yawut yi ba bésu tey.
15So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.
16 Noonu fukki taalibe ya ak benn dem ci biir Galile, ca tund wa leen Yeesu digaloon.
16But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
17 Bi ñu gisee Yeesu, ñu màggal ko, waaye ñenn ñi am xel ñaar.
17When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.
18 Yeesu jegesi ne leen: «Sañ-sañ bépp, jox nañu ma ko ci kaw ak ci suuf.
18Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Demleen nag sàkk ay taalibe ci xeet yépp, sóob leen ci ndox ci turu Baay bi ak Doom ji ak Xel mu Sell mi;
19 Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 te ngeen jàngal leen, ñuy sàmm lépp li ma leen sant. Te maa ngi ànd ak yéen bés bu nekk, ba kera àddina di tukki.»
20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
