Yohanes 20
1 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.
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and discovered that the stone had been removed from the tomb.
2 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!”
So she came running to Simon Peter and that other disciple whom Jesus loved, saying, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!"
3 Ale Petro kple nusrɔ̃la ma si Yesu lɔ̃ la tso kpla yi ɖe yɔdo la gbɔ.
So Peter and the other disciples set out at once to go to the tomb.
4 Wo ame eve la nɔ du ƒum, gake nusrɔ̃la kemɛ la ƒu du gbɔ Petro ŋu hetre yɔdo la gbɔ ɖoɖo.
They both began to run; and the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb.
5 Ebɔbɔ kpɔ yɔdo la me, ke ekpɔ ameɖivɔ la le yɔdo la me, gake mege ɖe eme o.
Stooping down he glanced in and saw the linen wrapping lying on the ground; but he did not go in.
6 Simɔn Petro hã va ɖo, eye wòge ɖe yɔdo la me. Eya hã kpɔ avɔ ɣi ƒuƒlu la le anyigba,
Then Peter also came following him, and he went inside the tomb; and he gazed at the linen wrapping as they lay,
7 kple taku si wotsɔ bla Yesu ƒe tae la; woxatsae nyuie tsɔ da ɖe yɔdo la ƒe axadzi.
and the napkin which had been about his head not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up in it’s own place.
8 Nusrɔ̃la ma si ɖo yɔdo la gbɔ gbã la hã ge ɖe eme mlɔeba. Ekpɔe, eye wòxɔe se be, etsi tsitre vavã.
Then the other disciple also who arrived first at the tomb went inside, and he perceived and believed.
9 (Elabena va se ɖe ɣe ma ɣi hã la, womese egɔme le mawunya me be Yesu atsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome o.)
For not yet had they understood the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Azɔ nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ yi aƒe me.
Then the disciples went back again to their home.
11 Ke Maria tɔ ɖe yɔdo la to nɔ avi fam. Esi wònɔ avi fam la, ebɔbɔ be yeakpɔ yɔdo la me ɖa,
Meanwhile, outside, Mary stood sobbing near the tomb. Still sobbing she stooped and looked into the tomb,
12 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.
and gazed at two angels in glistening white sitting, one at the head the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 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.”
They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She answered, "Because they have taken away my Master, and I do not know where they have laid him."
14 Enye kɔ kpɔ megbe, eye wòkpɔ Yesu wònɔ tsitre ɖe emegbe, gake menya be Yesue o.
When she had said this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but did not know that it was Jesus.
15 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.”
Jesus said to her. "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have borne him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away, myself."
16 Yesu yɔe be, “Maria!” Enumake Maria trɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wòyɔe le Hebrigbe me be, “Raboni!” (si gɔmee nye “Nufiala”).
"Mary," said Jesus. She turned to him. "Rabboni!" she cried in Hebrew. That is to say, "Teacher."
17 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.”
"Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I am not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, "‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’"
18 Maria Magdalatɔ la yi nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mekpɔ Aƒetɔ la,” eye wògblɔ nya siwo Yesu gblɔ nɛ la na wo.
Away went Mary Magdalene to the disciples with the tidings, "I have seen the Master!" and that he said these things to her.
19 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.”
On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, although the doors of the room where the disciples gathered had been locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and there he stood among them, saying. "Peace to you!"
20 Esi wògblɔ esia la, etsɔ eƒe asiwo kple axadame fia wo. Nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔ dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe esi wokpɔ Aƒetɔ la.
As he said this he showed them his hands and his side. Then were the disciple glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Yesu gagblɔ na wo be, “Ŋutifafa na mi. Abe ale si Fofo la dɔm ene la, nenema nye hã mele mia dɔm.”
Then Jesus said to them again. "Peace to you. As my Father has sent me forth, I also now am sending you."
22 Le esia megbe la, egbɔ ɖe wo dzi, eye wògblɔ be, “Mixɔ Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la.
When he had said this he breathed upon them and said.
23 Ne mietsɔ ame aɖe ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kee la, ekpɔ tsɔtsɔke; ne mietsɔe ke ame aɖe o la, makpɔ tsɔtsɔke o.”
"Receive the Holy Spirit. If you remit any one’s sins, they are remitted; if you retain them they are retained."
24 Toma, nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka (si wogayɔna be Didymus) la menɔ nusrɔ̃lawo dome hafi Yesu va o.
But Thomas, one of the Twelve, who was called "The Twin." was not with them when Jesus came.
25 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.”
Accordingly the other disciples kept telling him, "We have seen the Lord." But he told them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and thrust my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
26 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.”
A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood there among and said. "Peace to you!"
27 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.”
Then to Thomas he said. "Place your finger here, and see my hands; and place your hand here, and thrust it into my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing."
28 Toma gblɔ be, “Nye Aƒetɔ kple nye Mawu!”
Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Esi nèkpɔm la, èxɔe se, ke woayra ame siwo mekpɔm o, gake woxɔ dzinye se.”
"Because you have seen me, Thomas, you have believed," Jesus told him. "Blessed are those who, without seeing, yet believed."
30 Yesu wɔ nukunu kple dzesi geɖewo le nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe ŋkume, esiwo womeŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me o.
There were then many other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples, which have not been written in this book;
31 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.
but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
