Johan 20
1 Sabbath poeng kah a khohnin lamhma mincang khohmuep pueng ah Magadala nu Mary te hlan la a pawk uh hatah hlan lamkah lungto vik a thoeih te a hmuh.
Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], went to the [burial] cave [with some other women]. They saw that the stone had been removed {that someone had removed the stone} from the [entrance to the] cave.
2 Te dongah yong tih Simon Peter neh Jesuh loh a lungnah a tloe hnukbang taengah te cet. Te phoeiah amih taengah, “Boeipa te hlan lamkah vik a loh uh tih mela a khueh uh khaw ka ming uh pawh,” a ti nah.
So Mary ran to where Simon Peter and I [were staying in Jerusalem]. She said to us, “They have taken the Lord’s [body] out of the burial cave, and we do not know where they have put it!”
3 Te dongah Peter neh a tloe hnukbang te cet rhoi tih phuel la pawk uh.
So Peter and I started going to the cave.
4 Te vaengah panit la hmaih yong rhoi dae a tloe hnukbang loh Peter te a loe la a khal tih hlan te lamhma la a pha.
We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
5 A sawt thuk vaengah himbai sut a om te a hmuh dae a khuila kun pawh.
I stooped down [at the entrance] and looked inside. I saw the strips of linen cloth lying there [where his body had been laid], but I did not go inside.
6 Te vaengah anih hnuk aka vai Simon Peter khaw ha pawk tih hlan khuila a kun hatah himbai kak a yalh te khaw,
Then Simon Peter, who was running behind me, arrived. He went inside the cave. He, too, saw the strips of linen cloth lying there.
7 A lu soah aka om himbaica te khaw himbai aka yalh taengah om pawt tih hmuen pakhat ah khaw hloep a tlim pawt te khaw a hmuh.
He also [saw the] cloth that they had [wrapped] around Jesus’ head. It had been folded and put {Someone had folded it and put it} aside, separate from the linen strips.
8 Te phoeiah hlan ah lamhma aka pha a tloe hnukbang te khaw kun tih a hmuh daengah a tangnah.
Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
9 Amah te duek lamkah a thoh ham a kuek ni tila cacim aka om te ming uh hlan.
Before this happened, we did not understand from [what the prophets had written in] the Scriptures, that he had to become alive again after he died.
10 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te amamih im la koep mael uh.
Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
11 Tedae Mary tah hlan kaeng ah pai tih rhap. Te tlam te a rhah doela hlan te a sawt thuk.
As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
12 Te vaengah puencawn rhoi tah phaeng a bok la Jesuh rhok a yalh nah a lu ah pakhat, a kho ah pakhat a ngol rhoi te a hmuh.
She saw two angels in very white [clothing], sitting at the place where Jesus’ body had been laid. One was where his head had been, and the other was where his feet had been.
13 Amih rhoi loh Mary te, “Huta balae na rhah,” a ti nah. Amih rhoi taengah, “Ka Boeipa te vik a khuen uh tih anih te mela a khueh uh khaw ka ming pawh,” a ti nah.
They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She said to them, “They have taken away [the body of] my Lord, and I do not know where they have put it!”
14 Hekah he a thui tih a hnuk la a mael vaengah Jesuh a pai te a hmuh dae Jesuh ni tila ming pawh.
After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Jesuh loh Mary te, “Huta, balae na rhah, ulae na toem?,” a ti nah. Mary loh dumtawt coi ni tila a poek dongah, “Boeipa anih te na loh atah mela na khueh khaw kai taengah han thui lamtah, ka khuen pawn eh,” a ti nah.
He said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” Thinking that he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken his [body] away, tell me where you have put it. Then I will get it [and bury it properly].”
16 Jesuh loh, “Mary,” a ti nah daengah amah te mael tih Hebrew ol la, “Rhabboni,” a ti nah. [Te tah saya ni a thuingaih].
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
17 Jesuh loh, “Kai n'taek boeh, Pa taengla ka caeh hlan dongah. Ka manuca rhoek taengah cet lamtah amih te, ‘A pa neh na pa la aka om tih Kai kah Pathen neh nangmih kah Pathen taengah ka cet ni,’ tila thui pa dae,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to me, because I have not yet returned to my Father. Go to my disciples and tell them, ‘I am about to return to my Father and your Father, to the one who is my God and your God’.”
18 Magadala nu Mary tah cet tih hnukbang rhoek taengah, “Boeipa te ka hmuh coeng,” tila puen. Anih taengkah a thui te khaw a thui.
So Mary went to where [we] disciples were and told us that she had seen the Lord [alive again]. She also told us what Jesus said that she [should tell us].
19 Te dongah Sabbath poeng kah lamhmacuek khohnin hlaem a pha. Te vaengah hnukbang rhoek tah Judah rhoek a rhihnah kongah a om nah thohka te a khaih uh. Jesuh tah ha pawk tih amih lakli ah pai pah. Te phoeiah amih te, “Nangmih taengah ngaimongnah om saeh,” a ti nah.
On that Sunday evening [we] disciples gathered together. The doors were locked {[We] locked the doors} because we were afraid that [the Jewish leaders] [SYN] [might arrest us. Suddenly] Jesus appeared [miraculously] and stood among us! He said to us, “May God give you [inner] peace!”
20 Hekah he a thui phoeiah a kut neh a vae te amih a tueng. Hnukbang rhoek loh boeipa te a hmuh uh dongah omngaih uh.
After he said that, he showed us [the wounds in] his hands and his side. We were very happy when we saw the Lord!
21 Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh, a pa loh kai n'tueih bangla kai loh nangmih kan tueih,” koep a ti nah.
Jesus said to us again, “May God give you peace! Just like [my] Father sent me, now I am sending you [to proclaim my message].”
22 Te a thui phoeiah a hmuh tih amih te, “Mueihla Cim te doe uh.
After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23 Khat khat kah tholhnah te na hlah uh atah amih te a hlah coeng. khat khat kah te na pin uh atah a pin uh coeng,” a ti nah.
If you forgive people for their having sinned, [God will already] have forgiven them. If you do not forgive them, [God] has not forgiven them.”
24 Tedae hlainit khuikah pakhat Didymus la a khue Thomas tah Jesuh ha pawk vaengah amih taengah om pawh.
One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
25 Te dongah hnukbang a tloe rhoek loh amah taengah, “Boeipa ka hmuh uh coeng,” a ti na uh. Tedae amih taengah, “A kut kah thicung ngo te ka hmuh tih thicung ngo ah ka kutdawn ka puei phoeiah a vae te ka kut neh ka yam pawt atah ka tangnah mahpawh,” a ti.
When the rest of us told him that we had seen the Lord, he said to us, “If I do not see the marks of the nails in his hands and put my fingers in the place where the nails were, and put my hands into the place in his side [where the soldier thrust the spear], I will certainly not believe [that he was the one you saw]!”
26 Hnin rhet phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek tah a khuiah koep om uh tih Thomas khaw amih taengah om. Thohka te a khaih uh dae ta Jesuh te ha pawk tih amih lakliah pai. Te phoeiah, “Ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh,” a ti nah.
A week later we were in [the house] again. This time Thomas was with us. Although the doors had been locked {[we] had locked the doors}, Jesus [again] appeared [miraculously] and stood among us. He said, “May God give peace to you!”
27 Te phoeiah Thomas te, “Na kutdawn te hela hang khuen lamtah ka kut so lah. Na kut te khaw yueng lamtah ka vae te puei lah. Tedae aka tangnahmueh boel lamtah uepom la om lah,” a ti nah.
Then he [showed] Thomas [his hands] and said to him, “Put your finger here! Look at [the wounds in] my hands! Reach out your hand and put it in [the wound in] my side! Stop doubting [LIT/DOU]! Instead, believe [that I am alive again]!”
28 Thomas loh amah te a doo tih, “Ka Boeipa neh ka Pathen,” a ti nah.
Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
29 Anih te Jesuh loh, “Kai nan hmuh dongah nan tangnah. Hmuh mueh la aka tangnah rhoek tah a yoethen uh,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed [that about me]. But God [is truly] pleased with those who have believed [that about me], even though they have not seen me!”
30 Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek hmaiah Jesuh loh miknoek a tloe muep a saii. Te tah hekah cabu ah daek la a om moenih.
[We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
31 Tedae Jesuh te Pathen capa Khrih ni tila na tangnah uh ham neh aka tangnah rhoek loh amah ming neh hingnah na dang uh ham ni hekah he a daek.
But these [that I have written about, I] have written about them in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God), and in order that you may have [eternal] life [by trusting] (in him/ in what he [has done for you]) [MTY].
