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.
Nan dimanch maten, byen bonè, li pa t' ankò fin jou, Mari, moun Magdala a, al nan kavo a. Li wè yo te wete wòch ki te fèmen bouch kavo a.
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!”
Li kouri, li al jwenn Simon Pyè ansanm ak lòt disip Jezi te renmen an, li di yo: Yo wete Seyè a kote l' te ye nan kavo a. Nou pa konn kote yo mete li.
3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.
Pyè pati ansanm ak lòt disip la, y' al nan kavo a.
4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
Yo t'ap kouri ansanm, men lòt disip la t'ap kouri pi vit pase Pyè. Li rive bò kavo a anvan li.
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.
Li bese pou l' gade anndan an. Li wè bann twal fin yo te fè yon pil atè a. Men, li pa antre.
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.
Lè Simon Pyè rive dèyè l', li antre nan kavo a. Li wè bann twal fin yo anpile atè a
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.
ansanm ak moso twal ki te mare tèt Jezi a. Men, moso twal sa a pa t' menm kote ak bann twal fin yo. Li te vlope apa yon lòt kote.
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
Se lè sa a, lòt disip ki te rive bò kavo a anvan an antre tou. Li wè, li kwè.
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.
(Disip yo pa t' ankò konprann sa ki te ekri nan Liv la kote yo te di Jezi te gen pou l' te leve soti vivan pami mò yo.)
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
Apre sa, tou de disip yo tounen lakay yo.
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
Mari menm te rete deyò toupre kavo a. Li t'ap kriye. Antan l' t'ap kriye konsa, li bese tèt li pou l' gade anndan kavo a.
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.
Li wè de zanj Bondye abiye tout an blan, chita kote yo te mete kò Jezi a, yonn nan plas tèt la, lòt la nan plas pye yo.
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!”
Zanj yo mande li: Madanm, poukisa w'ap kriye konsa? Li reponn yo: Yo wete Seyè mwen an, m' pa konn kote yo mete li.
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Lè l' fin di sa, li vire tèt li, li wè Jezi ki te kanpe la, men li pa t' rekonèt si se te Jezi.
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].”
Jezi mande li: Madanm, poukisa w'ap kriye konsa? Ki moun w'ap chache? Mari menm te kwè se te mèt jaden an. Se poutèt sa li di li: Mèt, si se ou menm ki wete l', di m' ki bò ou mete li. M'a v al pran li.
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
Jezi di li: Mari! Mari vire bò kot Jezi, li di l' an lang ebre: Rabouni (sa vle di: Mèt).
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’.”
Jezi di li: Pa manyen m'! Mwen poko moute al jwenn Papa mwen. Men, ale jwenn frè m' yo, di yo m'ap moute bò kot Papa m' ki papa nou tou, m'ap moute bò kot Bondye m' ki Bondye nou tou.
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].
Se konsa Mari, moun Magdala a, al di disip yo: Mwen wè Seyè a. Epi li rakonte yo sa Jezi te di li.
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!”
Menm jou dimanch sa a, nan aswè, disip yo te reyini nan yon kay. Yo te fèmen pòt yo akle paske yo te pè jwif yo. Jezi vini, li kanpe nan mitan yo, li di yo: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout!
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!
Apre li fin di yo sa, li moutre yo de pla men l' ak bò kòt li. Disip yo pa t' manke kontan lè yo wè Seyè a.
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].”
Jezi di yo ankò: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout! Menm jan Papa a te voye m' lan, se konsa m'ap voye nou tou.
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Apre pawòl sa yo, li soufle sou yo, li di yo: Resevwa Sentespri.
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.”
Moun n'a padone peche yo, y'a resevwa padon vre. Moun n'a refize padone, yo p'ap resevwa padon.
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
Men, twouve Toma, yonn nan douz disip yo ki te rele Jimo, pa t' la avèk yo lè Jezi te vini an.
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]!”
Lòt disip yo di li: Nou wè Seyè a. Men, Toma reponn yo: Si m' pa wè mak klou yo nan pla men l', si m' pa mete dwèt mwen nan plas kote klou yo te ye a, si m' pa mete men m' nan bò kòt li, mwen p'ap kwè.
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!”
Yon senmenn apre sa, disip Jezi yo te reyini ankò anndan kay la. Fwa sa a Toma te la avèk yo. Tout pòt yo te fèmen akle. Jezi vini, li kanpe nan mitan yo, li di: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout.
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]!”
Apre sa li di Toma: Mete dwèt ou isit la. Men. Gade men m' yo. Lonje men ou, mete l' la bò kòt mwen. Wete doutans nan kè ou. Kwè, tande.
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
Toma reponn li: Seyè mwen, Bondye mwen!
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!”
Jezi di li: Koulye a, se paske ou wè m' kifè ou kwè? benediksyon pou tout moun ki va kwè san yo pa wè mwen!
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
Jezi te fè anpil lòt mirak ankò devan disip li yo, men nou pa rapòte yo nan liv sa a.
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].
Tou sa ki ekri nan Liv sa a, mwen ekri yo pou nou ka kwè Jezi se Kris la, Pitit Bondye, pou lè nou kwè a nou ka gen lavi nan li.
