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.
A denleleeda cilima daali, ku ti haapanpangu, ke li daa yendi, Maliyama Magidala den gedi likuli po. O den sua ke bi fuadi litanli likuli ñoabu kani.
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!”
O den sani ki gedi Simono pieli leni Jesu n den bua yaa hoadikoa yeni kani, ki yedi ba: Bi ñani o Diedo likuli nni, tii bani ban gedini onaani.
3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.
Pieli leni ohoadikalielo den ñani ki caa likakuli po.
4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
Bani bonbilie yeni kuli den tiini, ama ohoadikalielo den sani ki ciadi Pieli ki pundi likakuli kani ki ha o.
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.
O den diidi likakuli nni ki laa acabipiena bebe, ama waa den kua.
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.
Simono pieli den pundi ki kua likakuli nni ki sua acabipiena ke aye tiipo.
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.
Leni ban den fini Jesu yuli yaa cabili, ke li gbabi ki bili li yaa kaanu.
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
Lane ohoadikalielo moko den kua likakuli nni, wani yua n den pundi ki ha Pieli. O den laa ki daani.
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.
Kelima bi daa den bandi idiani n yedi yaala ke li tie tiladi Jesu n fii bi tinkpiba siiga.
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
Li yaapuoli bi hoadikaaba yeni den kuni bi den po.
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
Maliyama den se likakuli niinpo ki buudi, wan den buudi yeni o den buani ki diidi likakuli nni,
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.
O den laa Malekinba bonbilie ke bi yie ti tiapiendi, Jesu gbannandi n den dua naankani, yendo oyuli po, o yua mo o taana po.
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!”
Bi den yedi o: Pua be yaapo ke a buudi, o den guani ki yedi o: kelima bi ñani n Diedo likakuli nni, mii bani ban duani o naani.
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Wan den yedi yeni, o den gbegidi ki diidi ki sua ke Jesu se, ama waa den bani ke li tie 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 den yedi o: Pua be yaapo ke a buudi, a lingi ŋme yo? O den tema ke li tie o koadaane, o den yedi o: Li ya tie fini n taa o han waani nni, wan ye naankani min ban taa o.
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
Jesu den yedi o: Maliyama, o den gbegidi ki nuali o, ki maadi Ebilu maama nni, ki yedi labuni, lan n tie canbaa.
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 den yedi o: Da sii nni kelima n daa doni ki gedi n Baa po ama gedi n kpiiba po ki ban yedi ba: ke n baa do ki gedi n Baa yua n tie yi moko yaa Baa leni n Tienu yua n tie yi moko yaa Tienu yeni po.
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].
Maliyama magidala den gedi ki ban waani bi hoadikaaba ke o laa o Diedo, ki waani ba wan yedi o yaala.
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!”
Laa daali yaa ñiagu, dana lele cilima daali yeni, bi hoadikaaba den ye li dieli nni, ke li buliñoana lo kelima bi jie jufinba. Jesu den cua ki sedi bi siiga ki yedi: Mi yanduanma n yaa ye leni yi.
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!
Wan den yedi yeni, o den waana ba o nii leni o logili, bi hoadikaaba pala den mangi kelima bi laa o Diedo.
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 go den yedi ba: Mi taaliema mi yanduanma n yaa ye leni yi, nani Baa n soani nni maama, n moko soani yi yene.
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Laa maama pendima, o den fuo bi po ki yedi: Gaa mani U Tienu fuoma yua.
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.”
Yin puni yaaba sugili kuli baa ba sugili, ama yin ki puni yaaba sugili, kan baa sugili.
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
Toma, yua n go yi li poli ki tie bi piiga n niliediba siiga yendo, waa den ye bi siiga Jesu n den doagidi bi po yaa yogunu,
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]!”
o hoakalieba den yedi o: Ti laa o diedo. Ama o den yedi ba: N yaa laa ban den kpaa o nii naani yeni, ki tuuni n nubili lienni ki go laa o logili ki tuuni n nubili lienni n kan daani.
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!”
Dana nii n den pendi Jesu hoadikaaba go den ye li dieli nni ke a buliñoana lo, Toma den ye leni ba, Jesu den doagidi bi siiga ki yedi ba: Mi yanduanma n yaa ye leni yi!
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]!”
Lani o den yedi: Toma tandi a nubili ki tuuni n nii nni, go tuuni n logili nni moko ki da luo li dandanli, ama han daani.
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
Toma den guani ki yedi o: N Diedo leni n Tienu, Jesu den yedi o:
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!”
Kelima a laa nni lani n teni ke a daani, li pamanli ye leni yaaba n daani ki daa laa.
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
Jesu go den tieni bancianma boncianla o hoadikaaba nuntuali, yaama n kaa diani li naa tili nni,
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].
Ama yaama n tiena diani ke yin daani, ke Jesu tie Kilisiti yaala n bundi U Tienu n gandi yua, U Tienu Bijua ke yi ya daani yin baa li miali o yeli po.
