John 20
1 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.
Lino chifumo mubuzuba butaanzi bwamviki, nkakuchisiya, Meli Magadalina wakaza kuchuumbwe alimwi wakabona ibbwe kalikkunkulisigilwe kuzwa kuchuumbwe.
2 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!”
Akaako wakachijaana alimwi wasika kuli Sayimoni Pita a kuli bamwi basikwiiya aabo Jesu mbakali kuyanda, alimwi wabaambila wati, “Bamubweza Mwaami kuzwa muchuumbwe, alimwi tatuzi nkubamulazika.”
3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.
Mpawo Pita abamwi basikwiiya bakazwa, alimwi bakaya kuchuumbwe.
4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
Aantomwe bakachijaana, alimwi umwi sikwiiya wakachijaanisya kwiinda Pita akusika kuchuumbwe lutaanzi.
5 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.
Lino wakalangisisya aansi, wakabona mulembo wazizwaato zyakwe kazilede aawo, pesi takanjila pe mukati.
6 Then Simon Peter, who was running behind me, arrived. He went inside the cave. He, too, saw the strips of linen cloth lying there.
Sayimoni Pita lino wakasika kunembo lyakwe alimwi wanjila muchuumbwe. Wakabona chilembo chachizwato kachiyalidwe awo,
7 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.
achilembo chakali aatala amuutwe wakwe. Techakayalidwe aamwi azilembo zimwi pesi chakalivungidwe mubusena bwacho achilike.
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
Lino umwi sikwiiya, ooyo wakatanguna kusika kuchuumbwe, alakwe wakasika wanjila muchuumbwe, alimwi wakabona aalimwi wasyoma.
9 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.
Nkaambo kusikila kuchiindi eecho tebakalinaaziba malembe aamba kuti uzobuka kuzwa kubafu.
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
Akaako basikwiiya bakabweeda kumunzi lubo.
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
Pesi Meli wakaliimvwi aanze aachuumbwe. Nkachilila, wakalangisisya aansi muchuumbwe.
12 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.
Wakabona bobilwe bangelo muzituba balikkede, umwi kumutwe, alimwi umwi kumawulu aawo mubili wa Jesu mpuwakalede.
13 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!”
Bakati kulinguwe, “Yo mwanakazi, ulilaanzi?” Wakati kulimbabo, Nkaambo babweza Mwaami wangu, alimwi tandizi pe kuti bamubika kuli.”
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Nakaamba eechi, wakachebuka alimwi wabona Jesu kayimvwi aawo, pesi takaziba pe kuti ngu Jesu.
15 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].”
Jesu wakamwaambila, “Yo mwanakazi ulilaanzi? Ngwani ngolanguula?” Wakayeya kuti ngu sichilili. akaako wakati kulinguwe, “Yo mwaalumi, na wamubweza, ndaambile nkuwamubika, alimwi ndiyomubweza.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Meli.” Wakachebuka, alimwi wati kulinguwe muchi Alamayiki, “Labboni,” (chitolekelwa kuti: “Muyiisi.”)
17 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’.”
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Utandijati, nsinayinka kujulu kuli Taata, pesi inka kubakkulana bangu alimwi ubaambile kuti ndiyobwiinka kujulu kuli Taata wangu a Taata wenu, alimwi Leza wangu a Leza wenu.”
18 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].
Meli Magadalina wakasika alimwi waambila basikwiiy, 'Ndamubona Mwaami,” alimwi azintu nzyaakamwaambila.
19 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!”
Nikwakaba goko, mubuzuba oobo, izuba taanzi lya mviki, alimwi amakkoma aakooko basikwiiya nkubakabede, akalijalidwe mukuyoywa ba Juda, Jesu wakasika alimwi wiima aakati kabo wasikwaamba kuti,”'Luumuno kulindinywe.”
20 After he said that, he showed us [the wounds in] his hands and his side. We were very happy when we saw the Lord!
Nakamana kwaamba eezi, wakabatondezya maboko aakwe a bbazu lyakwe. Mpawo basikwiiya nibakabona Mwaami, bakabotelwa.
21 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].”
Jesu lino wakabaambila alubo, Luumuno kulindinywe. Mbuli Taata mbwakandituma, lino ndili kumutuma.”
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Aawo Jesu naakaamba eezi, wayoyela aalimbabo alimwi wasikuti kulimbabo, “Mutambule Muuya Uusalala.
23 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.”
Kufumbwa chibi chani nchimuyolekelela, ngachalekelelwa; kufumbwa ngumubweedezezya chibi, ngazyabweedezegwa.”
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
Tomasi, umwi wenkamu yabalikkumi ababili, utegwa Didimasi, takali aantomwe pe abamwi aawo Jesu naakasika.
25 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]!”
Bamwi basikwiiya nikwakiinda chiindi bakati kulinguwe, “Twamubona Mwaami.” Wakabaambila kuti, “Ado ndabona mumaboko aakwe impa zya zipikili, alimwi ndibike munwe mukati ke mpa zya zipikili, akubika luboko lwangu mubbazu lyakwe, nsikoyoosyoma.”
26 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!”
Nikwakayinda mazuba ali musani aatatu basikwiiya bakwe bakali mukati alubo, alimwi Tomasi wakali aakati kabo. Jesu wakanjila aawo makkoma kaajalidwe, alimwi wiimikila akati kabo, wati, “Luumuno kulindinywe.”
27 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]!”
Lino wakati kuli Tomasi, “Seyomeka munwe wako, alimwi ubone maboko aangu, sikila amunwe wako, alimwi ubike mumampango aangu, utabi uutasyomi, pesi syoma.”
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
Tomasi wakasandula alimwi wakati kulinguwe, “Mwaami wangu a Leza wangu.”
29 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!”
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Nkaambo wandibona, wasyoma. Balilongezegelwe batanaabona, alimwi basyoma.”
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
Lino Jesu wakachita zitondezyo zyiingi kunembo lya basikwiiya, zitondezyo zyakatalembwa pe mumagwalo,
31 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].
pesi eezi zyakalembwa kuti tusyome kuti Jesu ngu Kkilisito, Mwana wa Leza, alimwi mukusyoma, ube aabuumi muzina lyakwe.
