< John 20 >

1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
Kwasiada anɔpahema, Maria Magdalene sɔre kɔɔ da no so kɔhunuu sɛ obi apire ɛboɔ no afiri ɔboda no ano.
2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”
Ɔhunuu saa no, ɔde ahoɔherɛ kɔɔ Simon Petro ne osuani a Yesu dɔ no no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa bi akɔfa Awurade amu no afiri ɛda no mu na mennim faako a wɔde no akɔto!”
3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went towards the tomb.
Petro ne saa osuani yi tee asɛm no no, wɔtuu mmirika kɔɔ ɛda no so.
4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
Nanso, saa osuani yi maa ne mmirika mu yɛɛ den twaa Petro ho kɔduruu hɔ kane.
5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.
Ɔduruu ɔboda no ano no, wanwura mu. Ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase hwɛɛ mu hunuu sɛ nwera a wɔde kyekyeree Yesu amu no gu hɔ.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,
Simon Petro deɛ, ɔbɛduruu hɔ no, ɔwuraa ɔboda no mu. Ɔhunuu nwera a wɔde kyekyeree Yesu amu no sɛ ɛgu hɔ,
7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
a nwera a wɔde bɔɔ ne ti no nso gu baabi.
8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.
Afei, osuani a ɔduruu ɔboda no ho kane no nso wuraa mu hunuu saa nneɛma no maa ɔgye diiɛ.
9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
Saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na asuafoɔ baanu yi nnya ntee deɛ Atwerɛsɛm aka afa Yesu wusɔreɛ ho no ase.
10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
Afei, asuafoɔ no firii hɔ kɔɔ efie.
11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,
Maria deɛ na ɔda so gyina ɔboda no ho resu. Ɔgu so resu no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase hwɛɛ ɔboda no mu,
12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
na ɔhunuu ɔsoro abɔfoɔ baanu a wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ fitafitaa a ɔbaako te atifi na ɔbaako nso te anafoɔ wɔ faako a na Yesu amu no da no.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”
Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔbaa, adɛn na woresu sɛɛ yi?” Maria de awerɛhoɔ buaa sɛ, “Nnipa bi abɛfa mʼAwurade na mennim faako a wɔde no akɔto.”
14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.
Afei, ɔtwaa nʼani hwɛɛ nʼakyi na ɔhunuu sɛ na obi gyina hɔ a ɛyɛ Yesu, nanso na ɔnnim sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Ɔbaa, adɛn enti na woresu sɛɛ yi? Hwan na worehwehwɛ no?” Na Maria deɛ ɔsusu sɛ ɛyɛ turom hɔ hwɛfoɔ enti, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Owura, sɛ wo na wofaa no firii ha a, mesrɛ wo, kyerɛ me faako a wode no akɔto na menkɔfa no.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
Yesu frɛɛ no sɛ, “Maria!” Maria twaa nʼani hwɛɛ no na ɔgyee so wɔ Hebri kasa mu sɛ, “Rabuni!” (a aseɛ ne “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ”).
17 Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsɔ me mu, ɛfiri sɛ, mennya nkɔɔ mʼAgya nkyɛn; kɔka kyerɛ mʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, meresane akɔ mʼAgya a ɔyɛ wɔn agya ne me Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ wɔn nso Onyankopɔn no nkyɛn.”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
Maria Magdalene firii hɔ kɔbɔɔ asuafoɔ no amaneɛ sɛ wahunu Awurade na ɔkaa asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
Saa ɛda no ara anwummerɛ a na ɛsiane Yudafoɔ mpanin no ho hu enti, asuafoɔ no ato wɔn ho ɛpono mu no, Yesu baa ɛdan no mu hɔ kyeaa wɔn sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo.”
20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
Ɔkyeaa wɔn wieeɛ no, ɔde ne nsam ne ne mfem kyerɛɛ wɔn. Asuafoɔ no hunuu Awurade no, wɔn ani gyee yie.
21 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
Yesu sane kyeaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo.” Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Agya no somaa me no, saa ara na me nso meresoma mo.”
22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Yei akyi, ɔhome guu wɔn so kaa sɛ, “Honhom Kronkron no mmra mo so.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
Sɛ mode obi bɔne kyɛ no a, wɔde bɛkyɛ no; na sɛ moamfa obi bɔne ankyɛ no a, wɔremfa nkyɛ no.”
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ asuafoɔ no, na Toma a wɔfrɛ no Ata a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ dumienu no mu baako no nni hɔ bi.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wɔahunu Awurade no!” Wannye anni kaa sɛ, “Sɛ manhunu ne nsam ne ne mfem twa no na mamfa me nsa anka a, merennye nni da.”
26 After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.”
Nnawɔtwe akyi, asuafoɔ no sane hyiaeɛ bio a na Toma ka wɔn ho. Ɛwom sɛ na wɔatoto apono no mu deɛ, nanso Yesu sane baa hɔ kyeaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!”
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
Afei, Yesu frɛɛ Toma ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo nsa bɛka me nsam ne me mfem. Nnye akyinnyeɛ bio. Gye di!”
28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
Toma de ahonuo kaa sɛ, “Wo ne mʼAwurade ne me Onyankopɔn!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Woahunu me no enti, na woagye adi; nhyira nka wɔn a wɔnhunuu me nanso wɔgye me di.”
30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
Yesu yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no a wɔantwerɛ wɔ saa nwoma yi mu.
31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
Nanso, biribiara a wɔatwerɛ wɔ saa nwoma yi mu no, wɔatwerɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛgye adi sɛ, Yesu ne Agyenkwa, ne Onyankopɔn Ba no; na sɛ mogye no di a, mobɛnya nkwa.
