< 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.
اَنَنْتَرَں سَپْتاہَسْیَ پْرَتھَمَدِنے تِپْرَتْیُوشے نْدھَکارے تِشْٹھَتِ مَگْدَلِینِی مَرِیَمْ تَسْیَ شْمَشانَسْیَ نِکَٹَں گَتْوا شْمَشانَسْیَ مُکھاتْ پْرَسْتَرَمَپَسارِتَمْ اَپَشْیَتْ۔
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!”
پَشْچادْ دھاوِتْوا شِمونْپِتَرایَ یِیشوح پْرِیَتَمَشِشْیایَ چیدَمْ اَکَتھَیَتْ، لوکاح شْمَشاناتْ پْرَبھُں نِیتْوا کُتْراسْتھاپَیَنْ تَدْ وَکْتُں نَ شَکْنومِ۔
3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.
اَتَح پِتَرَح سونْیَشِشْیَشْچَ بَرْہِ رْبھُتْوا شْمَشانَسْتھانَں گَنْتُمْ آرَبھیتاں۔
4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
اُبھَیورْدھاوَتوح سونْیَشِشْیَح پِتَرَں پَشْچاتْ تْیَکْتْوا پُورْوَّں شْمَشانَسْتھانَ اُپَسْتھِتَوانْ۔
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.
تَدا پْرَہْوِیبھُویَ سْتھاپِتَوَسْتْرانِ درِشْٹَوانْ کِنْتُ نَ پْراوِشَتْ۔
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.
اَپَرَں شِمونْپِتَرَ آگَتْیَ شْمَشانَسْتھانَں پْرَوِشْیَ
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.
سْتھاپِتَوَسْتْرانِ مَسْتَکَسْیَ وَسْتْرَنْچَ پرِتھَکْ سْتھانانْتَرے سْتھاپِتَں درِشْٹَوانْ۔
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
تَتَح شْمَشانَسْتھانَں پُورْوَّمْ آگَتو یونْیَشِشْیَح سوپِ پْرَوِشْیَ تادرِشَں درِشْٹا وْیَشْوَسِیتْ۔
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.
یَتَح شْمَشاناتْ سَ اُتّھاپَیِتَوْیَ ایتَسْیَ دھَرْمَّپُسْتَکَوَچَنَسْیَ بھاوَں تے تَدا وودّھُں ناشَنْکُوَنْ۔
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
اَنَنْتَرَں تَو دْوَو شِشْیَو سْوَں سْوَں گرِہَں پَراورِتْیاگَچّھَتامْ۔
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
تَتَح پَرَں مَرِیَمْ شْمَشانَدْوارَسْیَ بَہِح سْتھِتْوا رودِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ تَتو رُدَتِی پْرَہْوِیبھُویَ شْمَشانَں وِلوکْیَ
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.
یِیشوح شَیَنَسْتھانَسْیَ شِرَحسْتھانے پَدَتَلے چَ دْوَیو رْدِشو دْوَو سْوَرْگِییَدُوتاوُپَوِشْٹَو سَمَپَشْیَتْ۔
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!”
تَو پرِشْٹَوَنْتَو ہے نارِ کُتو رودِشِ؟ ساوَدَتْ لوکا مَمَ پْرَبھُں نِیتْوا کُتْراسْتھاپَیَنْ اِتِ نَ جانامِ۔
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
اِتْیُکْتْوا مُکھَں پَراورِتْیَ یِیشُں دَنْڈایَمانَمْ اَپَشْیَتْ کِنْتُ سَ یِیشُرِتِ سا جْناتُں ناشَکْنوتْ۔
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].”
تَدا یِیشُسْتامْ اَپرِچّھَتْ ہے نارِ کُتو رودِشِ؟ کَں وا مرِگَیَسے؟ تَتَح سا تَمْ اُدْیانَسیوَکَں جْناتْوا وْیاہَرَتْ، ہے مَہیچّھَ تْوَں یَدِیتَح سْتھاناتْ تَں نِیتَوانْ تَرْہِ کُتْراسْتھاپَیَسْتَدْ وَدَ تَتْسْتھاناتْ تَمْ آنَیامِ۔
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
تَدا یِیشُسْتامْ اَوَدَتْ ہے مَرِیَمْ۔ تَتَح سا پَراورِتْیَ پْرَتْیَوَدَتْ ہے رَبُّونِی اَرْتھاتْ ہے گُرو۔
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’.”
تَدا یِیشُرَوَدَتْ ماں ما دھَرَ، اِدانِیں پِتُح سَمِیپے اُورْدّھوَگَمَنَں نَ کَرومِ کِنْتُ یو مَمَ یُشْماکَنْچَ پِتا مَمَ یُشْماکَنْچیشْوَرَسْتَسْیَ نِکَٹَ اُورْدّھوَگَمَنَں کَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَتوسْمِ، اِماں کَتھاں تْوَں گَتْوا مَمَ بھْراترِگَنَں جْناپَیَ۔
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].
تَتو مَگْدَلِینِیمَرِیَمْ تَتْکْشَنادْ گَتْوا پْرَبھُسْتَسْیَے دَرْشَنَں دَتّوا کَتھا ایتا اَکَتھَیَدْ اِتِ وارْتّاں شِشْییبھْیوکَتھَیَتْ۔
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!”
تَتَح پَرَں سَپْتاہَسْیَ پْرَتھَمَدِنَسْیَ سَنْدھْیاسَمَیے شِشْیا ایکَتْرَ مِلِتْوا یِہُودِیییبھْیو بھِیا دْوارَرُدّھَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ، ایتَسْمِنْ کالے یِیشُسْتیشاں مَدھْیَسْتھانے تِشْٹھَنْ اَکَتھَیَدْ یُشْماکَں کَلْیانَں بھُویاتْ۔
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!
اِتْیُکْتْوا نِجَہَسْتَں کُکْشِنْچَ دَرْشِتَوانْ، تَتَح شِشْیاح پْرَبھُں درِشْٹْوا ہرِشْٹا اَبھَوَنْ۔
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].”
یِیشُح پُنَرَوَدَدْ یُشْماکَں کَلْیانَں بھُویاتْ پِتا یَتھا ماں پْرَیشَیَتْ تَتھاہَمَپِ یُشْمانْ پْریشَیامِ۔
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
اِتْیُکْتْوا سَ تیشامُپَرِ دِیرْگھَپْرَشْواسَں دَتّوا کَتھِتَوانْ پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَں گرِہْلِیتَ۔
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.”
یُویَں ییشاں پاپانِ موچَیِشْیَتھَ تے موچَیِشْیَنْتے ییشانْچَ پاپاتِ نَ موچَیِشْیَتھَ تے نَ موچَیِشْیَنْتے۔
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
دْوادَشَمَدھْیے گَنِتو یَمَجو تھوماناما شِشْیو یِیشوراگَمَنَکالَے تَیح سارْدّھَں ناسِیتْ۔
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]!”
اَتو وَیَں پْرَبھُومْ اَپَشْیامیتِ واکْیےنْیَشِشْیَیرُکْتے سووَدَتْ، تَسْیَ ہَسْتَیو رْلَوہَکِیلَکاناں چِہْنَں نَ وِلوکْیَ تَچِّہْنَمْ اَنْگُلْیا نَ سْپرِشْٹْوا تَسْیَ کُکْشَو ہَسْتَں ناروپْیَ چاہَں نَ وِشْوَسِشْیامِ۔
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!”
اَپَرَمْ اَشْٹَمےہْنِ گَتے سَتِ تھوماسَہِتَح شِشْیَگَنَ ایکَتْرَ مِلِتْوا دْوارَں رُدّھوابھْیَنْتَرَ آسِیتْ، ایتَرْہِ یِیشُسْتیشاں مَدھْیَسْتھانے تِشْٹھَنْ اَکَتھَیَتْ، یُشْماکَں کُشَلَں بھُویاتْ۔
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]!”
پَشْچاتْ تھامَے کَتھِتَوانْ تْوَمْ اَنْگُلِیمْ اَتْرارْپَیِتْوا مَمَ کَرَو پَشْیَ کَرَں پْرَسارْیَّ مَمَ کُکْشاوَرْپَیَ ناوِشْوَسْیَ۔
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
تَدا تھوما اَوَدَتْ، ہے مَمَ پْرَبھو ہے مَدِیشْوَرَ۔
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!”
یِیشُرَکَتھَیَتْ، ہے تھوما ماں نِرِیکْشْیَ وِشْوَسِشِ یے نَ درِشْٹْوا وِشْوَسَنْتِ تَایوَ دھَنْیاح۔
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
ایتَدَنْیانِ پُسْتَکےسْمِنْ اَلِکھِتانِ بَہُونْیاشْچَرْیَّکَرْمّانِ یِیشُح شِشْیاناں پُرَسْتادْ اَکَروتْ۔
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].
کِنْتُ یِیشُرِیشْوَرَسْیابھِشِکْتَح سُتَ ایویتِ یَتھا یُویَں وِشْوَسِتھَ وِشْوَسْیَ چَ تَسْیَ نامْنا پَرَمایُح پْراپْنُتھَ تَدَرْتھَمْ ایتانِ سَرْوّانْیَلِکھْیَنْتَ۔
