John 20
1 The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.
Le Kɔsiɖagbe ŋdi kanya, esi xexea me mekɔ vɔ tututu o la, Maria si tso Magdala la yi yɔdo la gbɔ, eye wòkpɔ be womli kpe si nɔ yɔdo la nu la ɖa.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.
Eƒu du yi Simɔn Petro kple nusrɔ̃la ma si Yesu lɔ̃ vevie la gbɔ, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Wova ɖe Aƒetɔ la ƒe kukua le yɔdo la me, eye míenya afi si wokɔe yi ɖada ɖo o!”
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher.
Ale Petro kple nusrɔ̃la ma si Yesu lɔ̃ la tso kpla yi ɖe yɔdo la gbɔ.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulcher.
Wo ame eve la nɔ du ƒum, gake nusrɔ̃la kemɛ la ƒu du gbɔ Petro ŋu hetre yɔdo la gbɔ ɖoɖo.
5 And he stooping down, saw the linen cloths lying; yet he went not in.
Ebɔbɔ kpɔ yɔdo la me, ke ekpɔ ameɖivɔ la le yɔdo la me, gake mege ɖe eme o.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and seeth the linen cloths lying;
Simɔn Petro hã va ɖo, eye wòge ɖe yɔdo la me. Eya hã kpɔ avɔ ɣi ƒuƒlu la le anyigba,
7 And the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
kple taku si wotsɔ bla Yesu ƒe tae la; woxatsae nyuie tsɔ da ɖe yɔdo la ƒe axadzi.
8 Then went in also that other disciple who came first to the sepulcher, and he saw, and believed.
Nusrɔ̃la ma si ɖo yɔdo la gbɔ gbã la hã ge ɖe eme mlɔeba. Ekpɔe, eye wòxɔe se be, etsi tsitre vavã.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
(Elabena va se ɖe ɣe ma ɣi hã la, womese egɔme le mawunya me be Yesu atsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome o.)
10 Then the disciples went away again to their own home.
Azɔ nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ yi aƒe me.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept she stooped down [to look] into the sepulcher,
Ke Maria tɔ ɖe yɔdo la to nɔ avi fam. Esi wònɔ avi fam la, ebɔbɔ be yeakpɔ yɔdo la me ɖa,
12 And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
kasia ekpɔ mawudɔla eve siwo nɔ awu ɣiwo me la le yɔdo la me wonɔ anyi ɖe teƒe si Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kukua nɔ; ɖeka nɔ tade, eye evelia nɔ afɔde.
13 And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? she saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Wobiae be, “Nyɔnu, nu ka ta nèle avi fam ɖo?” Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Wokɔ nye Aƒetɔ la dzoe, eye nyemenya afi si wokɔe da ɖo o.”
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself about, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Enye kɔ kpɔ megbe, eye wòkpɔ Yesu wònɔ tsitre ɖe emegbe, gake menya be Yesue o.
15 Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Yesu biae be, “Nyɔnu, nu ka ta nèle avi fam ɖo? Ame ka dim nèle?” Maria bu be eyae nye abɔdzikpɔla, eya ta wòɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, nenye wòe va kɔe le afi sia la, gblɔ afi si nèkɔe da ɖo la nam be mayi aɖakɔe.”
16 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith to him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
Yesu yɔe be, “Maria!” Enumake Maria trɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wòyɔe le Hebrigbe me be, “Raboni!” (si gɔmee nye “Nufiala”).
17 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not: for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your God.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègaka asi ŋunye o, elabena nyemetrɔ yi Fofo la gbɔ haɖe o. Yi nɔvinyewo gbɔ ne nàgblɔ na wo be meyina ɖe Fofonye kple miawo hã Fofo, nye Mawu kple miawo hã ƒe Mawu gbɔ.”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things to her.
Maria Magdalatɔ la yi nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mekpɔ Aƒetɔ la,” eye wògblɔ nya siwo Yesu gblɔ nɛ la na wo.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace [be] to you.
Le Kɔsiɖa ma ƒe fiẽ me la, nusrɔ̃lawo ɣla wo ɖokuiwo ɖe xɔ me. Wotu ʋɔtru kple fesrewo katã elabena wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m na Yudatɔwo. Yesu va do ɖe wo dome, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ŋutifafa na mi.”
20 And when he had so said, he showed to them [his] hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.
Esi wògblɔ esia la, etsɔ eƒe asiwo kple axadame fia wo. Nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔ dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe esi wokpɔ Aƒetɔ la.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] to you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so I send you.
Yesu gagblɔ na wo be, “Ŋutifafa na mi. Abe ale si Fofo la dɔm ene la, nenema nye hã mele mia dɔm.”
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit.
Le esia megbe la, egbɔ ɖe wo dzi, eye wògblɔ be, “Mixɔ Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la.
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
Ne mietsɔ ame aɖe ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kee la, ekpɔ tsɔtsɔke; ne mietsɔe ke ame aɖe o la, makpɔ tsɔtsɔke o.”
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Toma, nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka (si wogayɔna be Didymus) la menɔ nusrɔ̃lawo dome hafi Yesu va o.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
Esi wòva la, nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Míekpɔ Aƒetɔ la.” Ke Toma gblɔ na wo be, “Va se ɖe esime metsɔ nye asibidɛ ƒo ɖe eƒe gatagbadzɛbiawo me, eye metsɔ nye asi ƒo ɖe abi si le axadame nɛ me la, nyemaxɔe se o.”
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] to you.
Anɔ abe ŋkeke enyi megbe ene la, nusrɔ̃lawo gaƒo ƒu ɖe xɔ me, tu ʋɔ ɖe wo ɖokuiwo nu, eye Toma hã nɔ wo dome. Togbɔ be ʋɔtruawo nɔ tutu hã la, Yesu va tsi tsitre ɖe wo dome, eye wògblɔ be, “Ŋutifafa na mi.”
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.
Emegbe la, egblɔ na Toma be, “Tsɔ wò asibidɛ ƒo ɖe afi sia; kpɔ nye asiwo ɖa. Tsɔ wò asi de nye axadame. Dzudzɔ ɖikeke, eye nàxɔe se.”
28 And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.
Toma gblɔ be, “Nye Aƒetɔ kple nye Mawu!”
29 Jesus saith to him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Esi nèkpɔm la, èxɔe se, ke woayra ame siwo mekpɔm o, gake woxɔ dzinye se.”
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
Yesu wɔ nukunu kple dzesi geɖewo le nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe ŋkume, esiwo womeŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me o.
31 But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life through his name.
Ke woŋlɔ esiawo da ɖi be miaxɔe se be Yesue nye Kristo la kple Mawu ƒe Vi la, eye ne miexɔe se la, miakpɔ agbe le eƒe ŋkɔ me.
