< John 20 >
1 AND on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen came very early, whilst yet some darkness remained, to the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Kwasiada anɔpahema, Maria Magdalene sɔre kɔɔ da no so kɔhunuu sɛ obi apire ɛboɔ no afiri ɔboda no ano.
2 She therefore runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
Ɔhunuu saa no, ɔde ahoɔherɛ kɔɔ Simon Petro ne osuani a Yesu dɔ no no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa bi akɔfa Awurade amu no afiri ɛda no mu na mennim faako a wɔde no akɔto!”
3 Then Peter went out, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
Petro ne saa osuani yi tee asɛm no no, wɔtuu mmirika kɔɔ ɛda no so.
4 And they two ran together: and the other disciple ran before more swiftly than Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
Nanso, saa osuani yi maa ne mmirika mu yɛɛ den twaa Petro ho kɔduruu hɔ kane.
5 And stooping forward, he sees the swathing clothes lying there; yet he did not go in.
Ɔduruu ɔboda no ano no, wanwura mu. Ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase hwɛɛ mu hunuu sɛ nwera a wɔde kyekyeree Yesu amu no gu hɔ.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the swathing clothes lying,
Simon Petro deɛ, ɔbɛduruu hɔ no, ɔwuraa ɔboda no mu. Ɔhunuu nwera a wɔde kyekyeree Yesu amu no sɛ ɛgu hɔ,
7 and the napkin, which had been round his head, not laid with the linen swathes, but apart folded up in another place.
a nwera a wɔde bɔɔ ne ti no nso gu baabi.
8 Then went in also the other disciple, who had come the first to the sepulchre, and saw, and believed.
Afei, osuani a ɔduruu ɔboda no ho kane no nso wuraa mu hunuu saa nneɛma no maa ɔgye diiɛ.
9 Though not even yet had they known the scripture, that he should rise from the dead.
Saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na asuafoɔ baanu yi nnya ntee deɛ Atwerɛsɛm aka afa Yesu wusɔreɛ ho no ase.
10 Then the disciples went back again to their companions.
Afei, asuafoɔ no firii hɔ kɔɔ efie.
11 But Mary stood at the sepulchre, without, weeping: as therefore she wept, she bent forward towards the sepulchre.
Maria deɛ na ɔda so gyina ɔboda no ho resu. Ɔgu so resu no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase hwɛɛ ɔboda no mu,
12 And saw two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
na ɔhunuu ɔsoro abɔfoɔ baanu a wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ fitafitaa a ɔbaako te atifi na ɔbaako nso te anafoɔ wɔ faako a na Yesu amu no da no.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔbaa, adɛn na woresu sɛɛ yi?” Maria de awerɛhoɔ buaa sɛ, “Nnipa bi abɛfa mʼAwurade na mennim faako a wɔde no akɔto.”
14 And as she thus spoke, she turned about, and beheld Jesus standing by, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Afei, ɔtwaa nʼani hwɛɛ nʼakyi na ɔhunuu sɛ na obi gyina hɔ a ɛyɛ Yesu, nanso na ɔnnim sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno.
15 Then Jesus said to her, Woman, why art thou weeping? whom art thou seeking? She, supposing that it was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if thou hast carried him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Ɔbaa, adɛn enti na woresu sɛɛ yi? Hwan na worehwehwɛ no?” Na Maria deɛ ɔsusu sɛ ɛyɛ turom hɔ hwɛfoɔ enti, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Owura, sɛ wo na wofaa no firii ha a, mesrɛ wo, kyerɛ me faako a wode no akɔto na menkɔfa no.”
16 Jesus saith to her, Mary! Starting round, she said to him, Rabboni! that is, Master!
Yesu frɛɛ no sɛ, “Maria!” Maria twaa nʼani hwɛɛ no na ɔgyee so wɔ Hebri kasa mu sɛ, “Rabuni!” (a aseɛ ne “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ”).
17 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I am ascending to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsɔ me mu, ɛfiri sɛ, mennya nkɔɔ mʼAgya nkyɛn; kɔka kyerɛ mʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, meresane akɔ mʼAgya a ɔyɛ wɔn agya ne me Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ wɔn nso Onyankopɔn no nkyɛn.”
18 Mary Magdalen cometh declaring to the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her.
Maria Magdalene firii hɔ kɔbɔɔ asuafoɔ no amaneɛ sɛ wahunu Awurade na ɔkaa asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
19 When the evening therefore was come, on the same first day of the week, and the doors being fastened where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said unto them, Peace be to you.
Saa ɛda no ara anwummerɛ a na ɛsiane Yudafoɔ mpanin no ho hu enti, asuafoɔ no ato wɔn ho ɛpono mu no, Yesu baa ɛdan no mu hɔ kyeaa wɔn sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo.”
20 And thus speaking, he shewed them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.
Ɔkyeaa wɔn wieeɛ no, ɔde ne nsam ne ne mfem kyerɛɛ wɔn. Asuafoɔ no hunuu Awurade no, wɔn ani gyee yie.
21 Jesus therefore spake to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
Yesu sane kyeaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo.” Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Agya no somaa me no, saa ara na me nso meresoma mo.”
22 And so speaking, he breathed on them, and said, Receive the Holy Ghost:
Yei akyi, ɔhome guu wɔn so kaa sɛ, “Honhom Kronkron no mmra mo so.
23 whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins soever ye retain, they are retained.
Sɛ mode obi bɔne kyɛ no a, wɔde bɛkyɛ no; na sɛ moamfa obi bɔne ankyɛ no a, wɔremfa nkyɛ no.”
24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, the twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ asuafoɔ no, na Toma a wɔfrɛ no Ata a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ dumienu no mu baako no nni hɔ bi.
25 Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I should see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I shall never believe it.
Ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wɔahunu Awurade no!” Wannye anni kaa sɛ, “Sɛ manhunu ne nsam ne ne mfem twa no na mamfa me nsa anka a, merennye nni da.”
26 And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them: Jesus cometh, though the doors were fastened, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Nnawɔtwe akyi, asuafoɔ no sane hyiaeɛ bio a na Toma ka wɔn ho. Ɛwom sɛ na wɔatoto apono no mu deɛ, nanso Yesu sane baa hɔ kyeaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!”
27 Afterwards he spake to Thomas, Bring hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and take thy hand, and thrust into my side: and be not incredulous, but a believer.
Afei, Yesu frɛɛ Toma ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo nsa bɛka me nsam ne me mfem. Nnye akyinnyeɛ bio. Gye di!”
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God!
Toma de ahonuo kaa sɛ, “Wo ne mʼAwurade ne me Onyankopɔn!”
29 Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have believed.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Woahunu me no enti, na woagye adi; nhyira nka wɔn a wɔnhunuu me nanso wɔgye me di.”
30 Now many other miracles did Jesus therefore also in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
Yesu yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no a wɔantwerɛ wɔ saa nwoma yi mu.
31 but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Nanso, biribiara a wɔatwerɛ wɔ saa nwoma yi mu no, wɔatwerɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛgye adi sɛ, Yesu ne Agyenkwa, ne Onyankopɔn Ba no; na sɛ mogye no di a, mobɛnya nkwa.
