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.
Ye kuhenga ikighono ikya kwasia mu mulungu, uMaliamu Magadalena akaluta ku mbiipa. Ye afikile akavona ilivue lino valyadindiile pa mulyango ghwa mbiipa livusivue.
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!”
Pe akavuuka luvilo kuluta kwa Simoni uPeteli na kwa m'bulanisivua ujunge juno uYesu alyamughanile, akavavuula akati, “Vam'busisie uMutwa mu mbiipa, natukagwile kuno vam'bikile.”
3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.
UPeteli palikimo nu m'bulanisivua ujunge jula, vakavuuka viluta ku m'biipa.
4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
Vooni ve vaviili vakavuuka luvilo, ne um'bulanisivua ujunge jula, akakimbila fiijo kukila uPeteli, akatala kufika ku mbiipa.
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.
Akinama, akahungiila mumbiipa, akaghavona gha menda, neke naalingile munkate.
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.
Pe pano uSimoni uPeteli ghwope aakfika pala, akingila mu mbiipa akaghavona amenda
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 kitambala kino vakampinyile uYesu ku mutu, ikitambala ikio nakilyale palikimo na menda aghange, looli ikyene kilyale palubale.
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
Pe umbulanisivua ujunge jula ghwope akingila mu mbiipa, akalolana kukwitika.
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.
Ulwakuva ye lukyale kuvombeka ulu, navalyaghatang'hinie aMalembe aMimike ghano ghiiti uYesu isyuka kuhuma kuvafue.
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
Pe avavulanisivua vala, vakagomoka kuno vakikalagha.
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
Unsi ughuo uMaliamu alyimile piipi ni mbiipa ilila. Ye ajiighe ifilila akiinama akahungiliila mu mbiipa.
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.
Akavaagha avanyamhola vavili vafwaliile amenda amapala, vikalile pano ghulyale um'bili ghwa Yesu. Jumo alikalile ulubale lwa ku mutu, ujunge ulwa ku maghulu.
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!”
Avanyamhola vala vakamposia vakati, “Gwe mama, ghulilila kiki?” Akavamula akati, “Nilila ulwakuva vam'busisie uMutwa ghwango, kange nanikagwile kuno vam'bikile.”
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Ye ajovile amasio aghuo, akasyetuka kunsana, akamwagha uYesu imile, neke naalyakagwile kuuti ghwe 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].”
UYesu akamposia akati, Mama, ghulilila kiki? Ghukumulonda veeni? Umwene akasaghagha kuuti umuunhu ujuo ghwe m'bombi mumughunda ughuo. Akam'buula akati, “Ntwa nave um'busisie uMutwa, umbuule kuno um'bikile, nintoole.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
UYesu akati, “Maliamu! Umalimu akasyetuka, akajova mu njovele ija kiebulania akati, “Raboni” kwe kuti M'bulanisi.”
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’.”
UYesu akati, “Nungang'holaghe “ulwakuva nikyale kuluta kukyanya kwa Nhaata, looli lutagha ku vavulanisivu vaango, uvavuule kuuti, niluta kukyanya kwa Nhaata ghwango juno ghwe Nhaata ghwinu, kange ghwe Nguluve ghwango na jumue Nguluve ghwinu.
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].
UMaliamu Magadalena akaluta kuvavulanisivua va Yesu, akavavuula akati, “Une nimwaghile uMutwa!” Pe akavavuula sooni sino uYesu amulaghiile.
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!”
ikighono ikya kwasia mu mulungu, avavulanisivua va Yesu valyakong'hanile munyumba vidindiile, ulwakuva valyale vikwoghopa avalongosi va Vayahudi. UYesu akiisa, akiima pakate pa veene akati, “Ulutengaano luvisaghe numue!”
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!
Ye ajovile uluo, akavahufia amavoko ni mbafu saake. Avavulanisivua vaake ye vakagwile kuuti ghwe Mutwa uYesu, vakahovoka fiijo.
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].”
UYesu akavavuula kange akati, “Ulutengaano luvisaghe numue. Ndavule uNguluve vule alyasung'hile une, na juune nikuvasuung'ha umue.”
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Ye ajovile amasio aghuo, akavapulila umwuja ghwake,
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.”
akati, “Upila umhepo uMwimike. Avaanhu vooni vano mukuvasaghila inyivi saave, uNguluve ikuvasaghila. Vano namukuvasaghila inyivi saave, uNguluve naikuvasaghila.”
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
Neke uTomasi juno akambulwagha “Didimasi, “umo ghwa vavulanisivua kijigho na vavili, napwealyale uYesu ye ikuhufia kuvavulanisivua avajaake.
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]!”
Avavulanisivua avajaake vala, vakam'buula uTomasi vakati, 'Usue tumwaghile uMutwa. Neke umwene akavamula akati, “Une naningitike isio, nave nanifyaghile na kukwabasia ni kyongo ifivamba ifya masumale mumavoko ghaake, na kukwabasia nu luvoko lwango ikivamba mu mbafu saake.”
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!”
Ifighono lekelalubale ye fikilile, avavulanisivua va Yesu valyakong'hanile kange mu nyumba, na ju Tomasi, mwealyale. Amalyango ghalyaale madinde, uYesu akiisa kange, akiima pakate pa veene, akati, “Ulutengano luvisaghe numue.”
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]!”
Pe akam'buula uTomasi akati, “Tomasi, ghwise ghwabasie amavoko ghango ni kyove kyako, kange ghwabasie imbafu sango nu luvoko lwako. Ulekaghe kuuva ni nganighani, looli ghwitikaghe.”
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
UTomasi akamula akati, “Uve uli Mutwa ghwango! uli Nguluve ghwango.”
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!”
UYesu akam'buula akati, “Ghwitiike ulwakuva unyaghile! Vafunyilue vano vikwitika, kisila kunyaagha.”
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
UYesu alyavombile ifidegho ifingi finga pamaaso gha vavulanisivua vaake fino nafilembilue mu kitabu iki,
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].
ifidegho ifi fino filembilue, filembilue neke mwitike kuuti, uYesu ghwe Kilisite, Mwana ghwa Nguluve, neke vwimila kukumwitika umwene, mwupile uvwumi mu litavua lyake.
