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.
Manyata ligono lya kuanza lya juma lubhuliku Mariamu Magdalena ahidili kulikaburi akalibhona liganga lele libhosibhu pa likaburi.
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!”
Kwa iyo akajumba mbio kulota kwa Simoni Petro ni kwa jhola mwanafunzi jhongi ambajhe Yesu an'ganili, kisha akabhajobhela, “bhan'tolili Bwana mu likaburi, natu tumanyilepi kwa bhambekili.”
3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.
Kisha Petro ni jhola mwanafunzi jhongi bhakabhoka, kulotela kulikaburi.
4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
Bhoha bhakajha bhijumba kwa pamonga; mwanafunzi jhongi jhola ajumbili nesu kuliko Petro ni kubhwayi kufika kulikaburi.
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.
Akajhema na kisha kuhongolela mu likaburi; akajhibhona sanda jhela jha kitani jhigonili, lakini ajhingilepi mugati.
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.
Kisha Simoni Petro ni muene akahida akajhingila mugati mu likaburi. Akajhibhona sanda jha kitani jhela jhigonili pala
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.
ni leso jhela jhajhele pamuto pa muene jhajhelepi pamonga ni sanda jha kitani bali jhajhele jhigonili pa lubhafu.
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
Ndipo mwanafunzi jhongi jhola ni muene akajhingila mu likaburi; akalola ni kukiera.
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.
Kwa kujha hadi wakati obhu bhajhele bhaghamanyilepi maandiku kwamba ilimlazimu Yesu afufukayi kabhele katika bhafu.
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
Kisha bhanafunzi bhakalota kabhele kunyumba jha bhene.
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
Hata nahu, Mariamu ajhele ajhemili pa likaburi ilela, bho ijhendelela kulela akajhema kisha akalanga mulikaburi.
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.
Akabhabhona malaika bhabhele bhenye sura sibhalafu bhatamili mmonga kumutu ni jhongi kumagolo mahali ambapo Yesu agonili.
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!”
Na bhene bhakan'jobhela, “N'dala, kwandabha jha kiki ghwilela?” Ni muene akabhajobhela, “Kwa ndabha bhan'tolili Bwana ghuangu, nani nimanyilepi kwa bhamp'ekili.”
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Bho amalikujobha aghu, ageuiki ni kumbona Yesu akajha ajhemili. Lakini amanyilepi kujobha ojhu ajhele Yesu.
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].”
Ni muene Yesu akan'jobhela, “Mabhu, kwa ndabha jha kiki wilela? Ukandonda niani?” Ni muene khuni akajha amanyili kujha ndo mtunza bustani akan'jobhela, “Bwana, kama ndo bhebhe un'tolili, nijobhelayi kwa umb'ekili, ni nene nibetakun'tola.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
Yesu akan'jobhela, “Mariamu.” Ni muene akageuka muene ni kun'jobhela kwa Kiaramu, “Raboni,” yaani sawa nikujobha, “Mwalimu.”
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’.”
Yesu akan'jobhela, “Usinigusi, kwani bado nakona kupaa kulota kwa dadi; bali ulotayi kwa bhalongobhangu ukabhajobhelayi kujha nibetakupaa kulota kwa Ddadi jhangu ambajhe pia ndo Dadi jhinu, K'yara ghwa nene na K'yara ghwa muenga.”
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].
Mariamu Magdalena akahida kubhajobhela bhanafunzi, “Nimbwene Bwana,” na kwamba an'jobhili mambo agha.
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!”
Na bho jhifikili kimihi, ligono elu, ligono lya kuanza lya juma, ni milyangu jhikajha jhidendibhu mahali ambapo bhanafunzi bhajhele kwa kuhofela Bhayahudi, Yesu akahida ni kujhema katikati jha bhene ni kubhajobhela, “Amani ijhelayi kwa muenga.”
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!
Bho amalikujobha aghu akabhalasya mabhokho gha muene ni lubhafu kwa muene. Na bhene bhanafunzi bho bhambwene Bwana bhahobhelili.
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].”
Kisha Yesu akabhajobhela kabhele, “Amani ijhelayi namu. Kama vile Dadi kyaanilaghisi nene, fefuefu nani nikabhatuma muenga.”
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Yesu bho amalili kujobha aghu akabhavuvila akabhajobhela, Mupokelayi Roho Mtakatifu.
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.”
Jhejhioha jha mwibetakun'samehe dhambi, bhasamehibhu; ni bhala bha mwibetakubhafungila bhafungibhu.”
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
Thomaso, mmonga wa bhala kumi ni bhabhele, jhaakutibhu Dididmas, ajhelepi ni bhanafunzi bhajhinu Yesu bho ahiodili.
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]!”
Bhanafunzi bhangi bhala bhakan'jobhela baadajhe, “Tumbwene Bwana.” N i muene akabhajobhela, “Kama nibetalepi kubhona alama sya misumari mu mabhoko gha muene, ni kubheka fikonji fya nene mu alama e'su, na pia kubheka kubhoko kyangu mu lubhafu kwa muene nibetalepi kukiera.”
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!”
Baada jha magono nane bhanafunzi bhajhele kabhele mu kichumba, ni Thomaso ajhele pamonga nabhu. Wakati miliangu idendibhu Yesu ajhemili katikati jha bhene na akajobha, “Amani na ijhelayi kwa muenga.”
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]!”
Kisha akan'jobhela Thomaso, letayi kikonyi kya jhobhi na ulotayi mabhoko ghangu; letayi apa mabhoko gha jhobhi na ubhekayi mu lubhafu lwa nene; wala usijhi jhaibetakukiera bali jhaikiera.”
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
Ni muene Thomaso akajibu ni kun'jobhela, “Bwana ghuangu ni K'yara ghuangu.”
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!”
Yesu akan'jobhela, Kwa kujha unibhwene, ukieriri. Bhabarikibhu bhene bhabhikier, bila kubhona.”
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
Kisha Yesu abhombi ishara simehele mbele jha bhanafunzi, ambasyo sibhwajhilepi kulembibhwa mu kitabu ekhe;
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].
bali e'se silembibhu ili kwamba mubhwesyayi kukiera kwamba Yesu ndo Kristu, mwana ghwa K'yara, na kwamba pamwikiera mujhiajhi ni uzima mu lihina lya muene.
