< Matthew 28 >
1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Homeda no akyi, Memeneda ahemadakye, Maria Magdalene ne Maria baako no kɔɔ ɛda no so.
2 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.
Amonom, asase wosoo denden; na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ siane firii ɔsoro baeɛ bɛpiree ɛboɔ no firii ɛda no ano, na ɔtenaa so.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
Nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ kanea na nʼatadeɛ yɛ fitaa te sɛ nwera.
4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
Awɛmfoɔ no hunuu no no, ehu maa wɔn ho popoeɛ, na wɔhwehwee ase, danee sɛ awufoɔ.
5 The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ mmaa no sɛ, “Monnsuro! Menim sɛ, morehwehwɛ Yesu a wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu no,
6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
nanso ɔnni ha. Wasɔre kɔ sɛdeɛ ɔkaeɛ no. Mommra mmɛhwɛ deɛ na ɔda hɔ no.
7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
Afei, monkɔ ntɛm nkɔka nkyerɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, ‘Wasɔre afiri awufoɔ mu, na ɔredi mo anim ɛkan akɔ Galilea akɔhyia mo wɔ hɔ.’ Yei ne nkra a mewɔ de ma mo.”
8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
Mmaa no de ehu ne anigyeɛ a adi afra tutuu mmirika firii ɛda no so sɛ, wɔrekɔhwehwɛ asuafoɔ no aka ɔbɔfoɔ no nkra no akyerɛ wɔn.
9 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
Wɔrekɔ no, prɛko pɛ, Yesu bɛgyinaa wɔn anim. Ɔkyeaa wɔn sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo.” Wɔbuu no nkotodwe, somm no.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Afei, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsuro! Monkɔ nkɔka nkyerɛ me nuanom no sɛ wɔnkɔ Galilea nkɔhyia me wɔ hɔ.”
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
Ɛberɛ a mmaa no rekɔ kuro no mu no, awɛmfoɔ a wɔwɛn ɛda no mu bi kɔɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin no nkyɛn kɔkaa deɛ asie no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
Yudafoɔ mpanin no nyinaa hyiaeɛ, na wɔsii no gyinaeɛ sɛ, wɔbɛma awɛmfoɔ no sika aka akyerɛ wɔn
13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
sɛ, “Monka sɛ, ‘Anadwo a yɛdaeɛ no, na nʼasuafoɔ no ba bɛwiaa amu no de kɔeɛ.’”
14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
Wɔhyɛɛ awɛmfoɔ no bɔ sɛ, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ amrado te ɛho asɛm a, yɛbɛkyerɛkyerɛ no mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrenyɛ mo hwee.”
15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
Yei enti, awɛmfoɔ no gyee sika no kɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no. Asɛm a wɔkaeɛ no trɛ faa Yudafoɔ no mu nyinaa na wɔgye di de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
Afei, asuafoɔ dubaako no siim kɔɔ Galilea bepɔ a Yesu kaa sɛ wɔnkɔ so no so.
17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
Ɛhɔ na wɔhunuu no, koto sɔree no. Nanso, na wɔn mu bi nnye nni ara.
18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Wɔde ɔsoro ne asase so tumi nyinaa ama me.
19 Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Enti, monkɔ nkɔyɛ amanaman nyinaa mʼasuafoɔ. Mommɔ wɔn asu nhyɛ Agya, Ɔba ne Honhom Kronkron din mu,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (aiōn )
na monkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔnni deɛ mahyɛ mo no nyinaa so. Na me ne mo wɔ hɔ nna nyinaa de bɛkɔ akɔsi ewiase awieeɛ.” (aiōn )
