< John 20 >

1 Now early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and she saw the stone rolled away from the tomb.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa mbere wa kwambĩrĩria kiumia rũciinĩ tene, kũrĩ o na nduma, Mariamu Mũmagidali nĩathiire mbĩrĩra-inĩ na akĩona ihiga rĩrĩa rĩarĩ mũromo-inĩ rĩrĩ rĩeherie.
2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, “They took away the Lord out from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ atengʼerete kũrĩ Simoni Petero na mũrutwo ũrĩa ũngĩ, ũrĩa Jesũ endete, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩmarutĩte Mwathani mbĩrĩra-inĩ, na tũtiũĩ harĩa mamũigĩte!”
3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went to the tomb.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Petero na mũrutwo ũcio ũngĩ makiumagara marorete mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
4 They both ran together, and the other disciple quickly ran ahead of Peter and arrived at the tomb first.
Marĩ o eerĩ magĩtengʼera, no mũrutwo ũcio ũngĩ agĩkĩria Petero ihenya, agĩkinya mbĩrĩra-inĩ mbere.
5 Then stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go inside.
Akĩinamĩrĩra, na akĩrora thĩinĩ, akĩona mataama ma gatani marĩ maige thĩ, no ndaatoonyire.
6 Simon Peter then arrived after him and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there
Nake Simoni Petero, ũrĩa warĩ thuutha wake, agĩkinya na agĩtoonya mbĩrĩra thĩinĩ. Akĩona mataama ma gatani maigĩtwo hau,
7 and the cloth that had been on his head. It was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a place by itself.
o hamwe na gĩtambaya kĩrĩa Jesũ ohetwo mũtwe agĩthikwo. Nakĩo gĩakũnjĩtwo gĩkaigwo kĩrĩ giiki, gĩtarĩ hamwe na mataama macio ma gatani.
8 Then the other disciple, the one who first arrived at the tomb, also went in, and he saw and believed.
Thuutha ũcio mũrutwo ũcio ũngĩ, ũrĩa wakinyĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ mbere, o nake agĩtoonya thĩinĩ. Akĩona na agĩĩtĩkia.
9 For until that time they still did not know the scripture that he should rise from the dead.
(Nĩgũkorwo nginyagia hĩndĩ ĩyo matiakoretwo mataũkĩirwo nĩ Maandĩko atĩ Jesũ nĩarĩ ariũke kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.)
10 So the disciples went back home again.
Arutwo acio magĩcooka makĩinũka kwao,
11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she stooped down into the tomb.
no Mariamu akĩrũgama hau nja ya mbĩrĩra akĩrĩraga. O akĩrĩraga-rĩ, akĩinamĩrĩra, akĩrora mbĩrĩra thĩinĩ,
12 She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the foot of where the body of Jesus had lain.
akĩona araika eerĩ marĩ na nguo njerũ, maikarĩte thĩ harĩa mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ waigĩtwo, ũmwe agaikara mũtwe-inĩ nake ũcio ũngĩ agaikara magũrũ-inĩ.
13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they took away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him.”
Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩrakũrĩria?” Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ nĩmeheretie Mwathani wakwa mbĩrĩra-inĩ, na ndiũĩ harĩa mamũigĩte.”
14 When she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩhũgũra, akĩona Jesũ arũgamĩte hau, no ndaigana kũmenya atĩ aarĩ Jesũ.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought that he was the gardener, so she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩrakũrĩria? Nũũ ũracaria?” Mariamu agĩĩciiria atĩ ũcio aarĩ mũrĩmi wa mũgũnda, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, akorwo nĩwe ũmweheretie njĩĩra harĩa ũmũigĩte nĩguo thiĩ ngamuoe.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned, and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”).
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩta, “Mariamu!” Nake akĩĩhũgũra akĩmwĩtĩka na Kĩhibirania atĩrĩ, “Raboni!” (naguo nĩ kuuga Mũrutani).
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I will go up to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.”
Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkae kũnyiita, nĩ ũndũ ndirĩ ndĩrambata thiĩ kũrĩ Baba! No rĩrĩ, thiĩ kũrĩ arutwo akwa, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndĩracooka thiĩ kũrĩ Baba, na nowe Ithe wanyu, njooke kũrĩ Ngai wakwa, na nowe Ngai wanyu.’”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that he had said these things to her.
Mariamu Mũmagidali agĩthiĩ kũrĩ arutwo, akĩmatwarĩra ũhoro, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete Mwathani!” Na akĩmeera atĩ nĩwe wamwĩrĩte maũndũ macio.
19 When it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of where the disciples were, were closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle of them and said to them, “Peace to you.”
Hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya o ũcio wa mbere wa kwambĩrĩria kiumia, rĩrĩa arutwo maarĩ hamwe, na mĩrango ĩrĩ mĩhinge nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Ayahudi, Jesũ agĩũka akĩrũgama gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gĩai na thayũ!”
20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo akĩmoonia moko make na mbaru ciake. Nao arutwo makĩiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno nĩ ũndũ wa kuona Mwathani.
21 Jesus then said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
Na o rĩngĩ Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gĩai na thayũ! O ta ũrĩa Baba aandũmire, noguo o na niĩ ndamũtũma.”
22 When Jesus had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Na oiga ũguo, akĩmahuhĩrĩria mĩhũmũ yake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Amũkĩrai Roho Mũtheru.
23 Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven; whoever's sins you keep back, they are kept back.”
Arĩa othe mwarekera mehia mao, nĩmarĩrekagĩrwo, na arĩa othe mũtarĩrekagĩra, matirĩrekagĩrwo.”
24 Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Na rĩrĩ, Toma (ũrĩa wetagwo Wa-mahatha), ũmwe wa arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, ndaarĩ hamwe na arutwo rĩrĩa Jesũ okire.
25 The other disciples later said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” He said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Tondũ ũcio arutwo arĩa angĩ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtuonete Mwathani.” Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Itoonete irema cia mĩcumarĩ moko-inĩ make, na ndoonyie kĩara gĩakwa hau irema-inĩ cia mĩcumarĩ, na njooke ndoonyie guoko mbaru-inĩ ciake, ndingĩĩtĩkia ũhoro ũcio.”
26 After eight days his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came while the doors were closed, and stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”
Thuutha wa kiumia kĩmwe, arutwo ake maarĩ kũu nyũmba rĩngĩ, na Toma aarĩ hamwe nao. O na gũtuĩka mĩrango yarĩ mĩhinge-rĩ, Jesũ agĩũka, akĩrũgama gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩai na thayũ!”
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here with your finger and see my hands. Reach here with your hand and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
Agĩcooka akĩĩra Toma atĩrĩ, “Toonyia kĩara gĩaku haha; rora moko makwa. Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũgũikie mbaru-inĩ ciakwa. Tiga kũgĩa na nganja, ĩtĩkia.”
28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God.”
Nake Toma akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani wakwa na Ngai wakwa!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and believed.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wetĩkia tondũ nĩwanyona. Kũrathimwo nĩ arĩa metĩkagia matonete.”
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, signs that have not been written in this book,
Jesũ nĩaringire ciama ingĩ nyingĩ akĩonagwo nĩ arutwo ake, iria itaandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.
31 but these have been written so that you would believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that believing, you would have life in his name.
No rĩrĩ, ici ciandĩkĩtwo nĩgeetha mwĩtĩkie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai, na atĩ na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia mũgĩe na muoyo thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake.
