< 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.

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!”

3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.

4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.

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.
tadaa prahviibhuuya sthaapitavastraa. ni d. r.s. tavaan kintu na praavi"sat|
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.
apara. m "simonpitara aagatya "sma"saanasthaana. m pravi"sya
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.
sthaapitavastraa. ni mastakasya vastra nca p. rthak sthaanaantare sthaapita. m d. r.s. tavaan|
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
tata. h "sma"saanasthaana. m puurvvam aagato yonya"si. sya. h sopi pravi"sya taad. r"sa. m d. r.s. taa vya"svasiit|
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.
yata. h "sma"saanaat sa utthaapayitavya etasya dharmmapustakavacanasya bhaava. m te tadaa voddhu. m naa"sankuvan|
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
anantara. m tau dvau "si. syau sva. m sva. m g. rha. m paraav. rtyaagacchataam|
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
tata. h para. m mariyam "sma"saanadvaarasya bahi. h sthitvaa roditum aarabhata tato rudatii prahviibhuuya "sma"saana. m vilokya
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.
yii"so. h "sayanasthaanasya "sira. hsthaane padatale ca dvayo rdi"so dvau svargiiyaduutaavupavi. s.tau samapa"syat|
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!”
tau p. r.s. tavantau he naari kuto rodi. si? saavadat lokaa mama prabhu. m niitvaa kutraasthaapayan iti na jaanaami|
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
ityuktvaa mukha. m paraav. rtya yii"su. m da. n.daayamaanam apa"syat kintu sa yii"suriti saa j naatu. m naa"saknot|
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].”
tadaa yii"sustaam ap. rcchat he naari kuto rodi. si? ka. m vaa m. rgayase? tata. h saa tam udyaanasevaka. m j naatvaa vyaaharat, he maheccha tva. m yadiita. h sthaanaat ta. m niitavaan tarhi kutraasthaapayastad vada tatsthaanaat tam aanayaami|
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
tadaa yii"sustaam avadat he mariyam| tata. h saa paraav. rtya pratyavadat he rabbuunii arthaat he guro|
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’.”
tadaa yii"suravadat maa. m maa dhara, idaanii. m pitu. h samiipe uurddhvagamana. m na karomi kintu yo mama yu. smaaka nca pitaa mama yu. smaaka nce"svarastasya nika. ta uurddhvagamana. m karttum udyatosmi, imaa. m kathaa. m tva. m gatvaa mama bhraat. rga. na. m j naapaya|
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].
tato magdaliiniimariyam tatk. sa. naad gatvaa prabhustasyai dar"sana. m dattvaa kathaa etaa akathayad iti vaarttaa. m "si. syebhyo. akathayat|
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!”
tata. h para. m saptaahasya prathamadinasya sandhyaasamaye "si. syaa ekatra militvaa yihuudiiyebhyo bhiyaa dvaararuddham akurvvan, etasmin kaale yii"suste. saa. m madhyasthaane ti. s.than akathayad yu. smaaka. m kalyaa. na. m bhuuyaat|
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!
ityuktvaa nijahasta. m kuk. si nca dar"sitavaan, tata. h "si. syaa. h prabhu. m d. r.s. tvaa h. r.s. taa abhavan|
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].”
yii"su. h punaravadad yu. smaaka. m kalyaa. na. m bhuuyaat pitaa yathaa maa. m prai. sayat tathaahamapi yu. smaan pre. sayaami|
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
ityuktvaa sa te. saamupari diirghapra"svaasa. m dattvaa kathitavaan pavitram aatmaana. m g. rhliita|
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.”
yuuya. m ye. saa. m paapaani mocayi. syatha te mocayi. syante ye. saa nca paapaati na mocayi. syatha te na mocayi. syante|
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
dvaada"samadhye ga. nito yamajo thomaanaamaa "si. syo yii"soraagamanakaalai tai. h saarddha. m naasiit|
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]!”
ato vaya. m prabhuum apa"syaameti vaakye. anya"si. syairukte sovadat, tasya hastayo rlauhakiilakaanaa. m cihna. m na vilokya taccihnam a"ngulyaa na sp. r.s. tvaa tasya kuk. sau hasta. m naaropya caaha. m na vi"svasi. syaami|
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!”
aparam a. s.tame. ahni gate sati thomaasahita. h "si. syaga. na ekatra militvaa dvaara. m ruddhvaabhyantara aasiit, etarhi yii"suste. saa. m madhyasthaane ti. s.than akathayat, yu. smaaka. m ku"sala. m bhuuyaat|
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]!”
pa"scaat thaamai kathitavaan tvam a"nguliim atraarpayitvaa mama karau pa"sya kara. m prasaaryya mama kuk. saavarpaya naavi"svasya|
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
tadaa thomaa avadat, he mama prabho he madii"svara|
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!”
yii"surakathayat, he thomaa maa. m niriik. sya vi"svasi. si ye na d. r.s. tvaa vi"svasanti taeva dhanyaa. h|
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
etadanyaani pustake. asmin alikhitaani bahuunyaa"scaryyakarmmaa. ni yii"su. h "si. syaa. naa. m purastaad akarot|
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].
