< Matthew 28 >
1 Now after [the] Sabbaths, it being dawn, toward the first [day] of the weeks, Mary the Magdalene came, and the other Mary, to see the grave,
Ke le ŋkeke si dze Dzudzɔgbe yome, si nye Kɔsiɖagbe ƒe fɔŋli me la, Maria Magdalatɔ kple Maria evelia woyi ɖe yɔdo la to.
2 and behold, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the LORD, having come down out of Heaven, having come, rolled away the stone from the door, and was sitting on it,
Kasia anyigba ʋuʋu sesĩe, elabena mawudɔla aɖe si tso Aƒetɔ la gbɔ la ɖi tso dziƒo va mli kpe gã la ɖa, eye wònɔ anyi ɖe edzi.
3 and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
Mawudɔla la ƒe mo nɔ keklẽm abe dzikedzo ene, eye eƒe awuwo fu tititi abe ɖetifu ene.
4 and from the fear of him the keepers shook, and they became as dead men.
Esi dzɔlawo kpɔe la, dzidzi ƒo wo, eye womu dze anyi heku ƒenyi.
5 And the messenger answering said to the women, “Do not fear, for I have known that you seek Jesus who has been crucified;
Mawudɔla la ƒo nu na nyɔnuawo gblɔ be, “Migavɔ̃ o, elabena menya be Yesu si woklã ɖe ati ŋuti la dim miele,
6 He is not here, for He rose, as He said; come, see the place where the LORD was lying;
gake mele afi sia o, elabena etsi tsitre abe ale si wògblɔ da ɖi ene. Miva kpɔ afi si wokɔe mlɔ la ɖa.
7 and having gone quickly, say to His disciples that He rose from the dead; and behold, He goes before you to Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
Azɔ miɖe abla miayi aɖagblɔe na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be etsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome, eye wòyina ɖe Galilea be miava kpe ye le afi ma. Mixɔ nye gbedeasi sia yi na wo.”
8 And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples;
Nyɔnuawo ƒu du dzo le yɔdo la to kple vɔvɔ̃ kple dzidzɔ. Esi wole dua dzi yina ɖe nusrɔ̃lawo di ge la,
9 and as they were going to tell His disciples, then behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” And having come near, they laid hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.
Yesu va kpe wo. Edo gbe na wo be, “Ŋutifafa na mi,” eye wodze klo ɖe eƒe akɔme helé eƒe afɔwo ɖe asi, eye wosubɔe.
10 Then Jesus says to them, “Do not fear, go away, tell My brothers that they may go away to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o! Miyi miagblɔ na nɔvinyewo be woadze mɔ enumake woayi ɖe Galilea, eye woado gom le afi ma.”
11 And while they are going on, behold, certain of the guard having come into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things that happened,
Esi nyɔnuawo le gegem ɖe dua me la, asrafo siwo nɔ yɔdo la ŋuti dzɔm la ƒe ɖewo va nunɔlagãwo gbɔ hegblɔ nu si va dzɔ la na wo.
12 and having been gathered together with the elders, having also taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers,
Esi nunɔlagãwo kpe ta kple dumegãwo la, wode aɖaŋu, eye wotsɔ ga home gã aɖe na asrafoawo hegblɔ be,
13 saying, “Say that His disciples having come by night, stole Him—we being asleep;
“Migblɔ be, ‘Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va le zã me, eye wofi eƒe kukua dzoe esime míenɔ alɔ̃ dɔm.’”
14 and if this is heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.”
Takpekpe la do ŋugbe be, “Nenye be mɔmefia la se nya sia la, míatsi tsitre aʋli mia ta, eye nu sia nu ayi edzi nyuie.”
15 And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews until this day.
Ale asrafoawo xɔ ga la, eye wogblɔ nu si woɖo na wo be woagblɔ la. Nya la kaka ɖe Yudatɔwo dome gbẽe, eye woxɔe se va se ɖe egbegbe gɔ̃ hã.
16 And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus appointed them,
Nusrɔ̃la wuiɖekɛawo hã dze Galilea mɔ dzi, eye woyi ɖe to si dzi Yesu ɖo be yeado go wo le la dzi.
17 and having seen Him, they worshiped Him, but some wavered.
Wokpe Yesu le afi sia, eye wosubɔe, ke wo dometɔ aɖewo meka ɖe edzi be Yesu ŋutɔe nye ema o.
18 And having come near, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me;
Egblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Wotsɔ ŋusẽ si le dziƒo kple anyigba la katã de asi nam,
19 having gone, then, disciple all the nations, immersing them into the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
eya ta miyi ɖawɔ amewo le dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe me woanye nye nusrɔ̃lawo; miade mawutsi ta na wo le Fofo la, Vi la kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe ŋkɔ me.
20 teaching them to observe all, whatever I commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days—until the full end of the age.” (aiōn )
Miafia nu nusrɔ̃la yeye siawo be woawɔ ɖe se siwo katã mede na mi la dzi, eye kakaɖedzi nenɔ mia si ɣe sia ɣi be meli kpli mi ɣe sia ɣi va se ɖe xexea me ƒe nuwuwu.” (aiōn )
