Johana 20
1 To odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar juma, kogwen, kane piny pod olil, Maria ma aa Magdala nodhi e liel, mi noneno ka kidi osengʼiel oko e dho lielno.
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 Omiyo noringo modhi ir Simon Petro kod japuonjre machielo mane Yesu ohero, kendo nowachonegi niya, “Gisekawo ringre Ruoth gigolo e liel kama noyike, kendo koro wakia kama giketee!”
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 Kuom mano, Petro gi japuonjre machielono nowuok modhi kama noyike.
So Peter and I started going to the cave.
4 Negiringo giduto, to japuonjre machielono noyombo Petro, mi nokuongone chopo e liel.
We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
5 Nokulore mongʼicho, kendo noneno lewni mayom molir olir kod law ik ma nonalgo wi Yesu kani ei bur kanyo. To kata kamano, ne ok odonjo e iye.
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 Eka Simon Petro, mane ringo bangʼe bende notundo. En to nodonjo nyaka ei bur ik, mi noneno lewni mayom molir olir ka ni kanyo,
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 kaachiel gi law ik mane onalgo wi Yesu. Nangano noban maber, kendo ne en kar kende, mopogore gi kama lewni mayom molir olir ne nitie.
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 Mogik, japuonjre machielo, mane okwongo chopo e bur yikno, bende nodonjo ei bur mi noneno kendo noyie.
Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
9 (Nyaka ae thuolono ne pok gingʼeyo, koa e Ndiko, ni nochuno ni Yesu nyaka ne chier mi aa kuom joma otho.)
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 Eka jopuonjre nodok e miechgi.
Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
11 Maria nochungʼ oko e dho bur kaywak. Kane oyudo oywak, nokulore mongʼiyo i bur,
As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
12 kendo noneno malaike ariyo morwako lewni marochere, kobet piny kama ringre Yesu nopielie, ka moro ni yo ka wiye, to machielo ni yo ka tiende.
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 Negipenje niya, “Nyarwa, iywago angʼo?” Nowachonegi niya, “Gisekawo Ruodha gidhigo, to akia kama giketee.”
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 Bangʼ wacho kamano, nolokore ongʼiyo ngʼeye, kendo noneno Yesu kochungʼ kanyo, to ne ok ongʼeyo ni en Yesu.
After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Yesu nopenje niya, “Nyarwa, iywago angʼo? En ngʼa mimanyo?” En to noparo ni mano jarit puodho ema wuoyo kode, omiyo nopenje niya, “Jaduongʼ, ka dipo ni in ema ne ikawe idhi kode, to nyisa kama iseketee, mondo adhi akawe.”
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 Yesu noluonge niya, “Maria!” Nolokore mi ongʼiye koluonge matek gi dho jo-Hibrania niya, “Raboni!” (tiende ni “Japuonj”).
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
17 Yesu nowachone niya, “Kik itweri kuoma, nimar pok adok ka Wuora, to dhi ir owetena mondo inyisgi ni, ‘Adok ir Wuora ma en Wuoru un bende, kendo Nyasacha ma en Nyasachu.’”
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 Maria nyar Magdala nodhi ir jopuonjre monyisogi Injili niya, “Aseneno Ruoth!” Kendo Ruoth ema osenyisa weche ma awachonugi.
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 Godhiambo mar odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar juma, jopuonjre nochokore kanyakla, kendo ne giloro dhoudi nikech negiluoro jo-Yahudi, Yesu nobiro mochungʼ e diergi kendo nowachonegi niya, “Kwe obed kodu!”
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 Bangʼ kane osewacho ma, nonyisogi lwetene gi ngʼetne. Jopuonjre ne mor mokalo kane gineno Ruoth.
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 Yesu nochako owachonegi kendo niya, “Beduru gi kwe! Mana kaka Wuora oseora e kaka an bende aorou.”
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 Bangʼ wachonegi wechego, nokudho muche kuomgi, kowachonegi niya, “Nwangʼuru Roho Maler.
After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23 Ngʼato angʼata muweyone richone nowenegi, to ka ok uweyonegi, to ok nowenegi.”
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 Thoma (ma bende iluongo ni Didimas), ma en achiel kuom jopuonjre apar gariyo, ne ok ni kodgi e kinde mane Yesu ofwenyorenigi.
One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
25 Omiyo jopuonjre mamoko nokone niya, “Waseneno Ruoth!” To nowachonegi niya, “An to ka ok aneno lwete kuonde mane musmal ochwowo, mi aketo lith lweta kuondego, kendo asoyo lweta e ngʼetne, to ok abi yie wachno.”
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 Bangʼ juma achiel, jopuonjre ne ni ei ot kendo, to chiengʼno Thoma ne ni kodgi. Kata obedo ni dhoudi nolor, Yesu nobiro mochungʼ e diergi momosogi niya, “Okweuru!”
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 Eka nowachone Thoma niya, “Ket lith lweti kae kendo nee lwetena. Chor lweti kuoma bangʼe iketi e ngʼetna. We bedo ngʼama riwo gi kiawa, bed ngʼama nigi yie!”
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 Thoma nodwoke niya, “Ruodha kendo Nyasacha!”
Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
29 Eka Yesu nowachone niya, “In iyie nikech isenena, to ogwedh joma pok onena, to oseyie.”
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 Yesu notimo ranyisi gi honni mamoko mangʼeny, ka jopuonjrene neno, ma ok ondiki e kitabuni.
[We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
31 To magi ondiki mondo uyie ni Yesu e Kristo ma Wuod Nyasaye, kendo mondo ka uyie kamano, to ubed gi ngima e nyinge.
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].
