< Johana 20 >

1 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.
And early on the first day of the week, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2 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!”
Then 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 know not where they have laid him.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Petero na mũrutwo ũcio ũngĩ makiumagara marorete mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and came to the tomb.
4 Marĩ o eerĩ magĩtengʼera, no mũrutwo ũcio ũngĩ agĩkĩria Petero ihenya, agĩkinya mbĩrĩra-inĩ mbere.
And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;
5 Akĩinamĩrĩra, na akĩrora thĩinĩ, akĩona mataama ma gatani marĩ maige thĩ, no ndaatoonyire.
and he stooped down and saw the linen cloths lying, but he did not go in.
6 Nake Simoni Petero, ũrĩa warĩ thuutha wake, agĩkinya na agĩtoonya mbĩrĩra thĩinĩ. Akĩona mataama ma gatani maigĩtwo hau,
Then came Simon Peter, following him; and he went into the tomb, and saw the linen cloths lying,
7 o hamwe na gĩtambaya kĩrĩa Jesũ ohetwo mũtwe agĩthikwo. Nakĩo gĩakũnjĩtwo gĩkaigwo kĩrĩ giiki, gĩtarĩ hamwe na mataama macio ma gatani.
and the handkerchief that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded in a place by itself.
8 Thuutha ũcio mũrutwo ũcio ũngĩ, ũrĩa wakinyĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ mbere, o nake agĩtoonya thĩinĩ. Akĩona na agĩĩtĩkia.
Then, therefore, the other disciple, who came first to the tomb, went in, and saw, and believed.
9 (Nĩgũkorwo nginyagia hĩndĩ ĩyo matiakoretwo mataũkĩirwo nĩ Maandĩko atĩ Jesũ nĩarĩ ariũke kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.)
For, as yet, they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
10 Arutwo acio magĩcooka makĩinũka kwao,
Then the disciples went away again by themselves.
11 no Mariamu akĩrũgama hau nja ya mbĩrĩra akĩrĩraga. O akĩrĩraga-rĩ, akĩinamĩrĩra, akĩrora mbĩrĩra thĩinĩ,
But Mary stood without near the tomb, weeping; and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb,
12 akĩona araika eerĩ marĩ na nguo njerũ, maikarĩte thĩ harĩa mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ waigĩtwo, ũmwe agaikara mũtwe-inĩ nake ũcio ũngĩ agaikara magũrũ-inĩ.
and saw two angels in white raiment, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the foot, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩrakũrĩria?” Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ nĩmeheretie Mwathani wakwa mbĩrĩra-inĩ, na ndiũĩ harĩa mamũigĩte.”
And they said to her: Woman, why do you weep? She said to them: They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 O hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩhũgũra, akĩona Jesũ arũgamĩte hau, no ndaigana kũmenya atĩ aarĩ Jesũ.
Having said this, she turned back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 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.”
Jesus said to her: Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? Supposing that it was the gardener, she said to him: Sir, if you have taken him hence, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩta, “Mariamu!” Nake akĩĩhũgũra akĩmwĩtĩka na Kĩhibirania atĩrĩ, “Raboni!” (naguo nĩ kuuga Mũrutani).
Jesus said to her: Mary. She turned, and said to him: Rabboni; which is, translated, Teacher.
17 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.’”
Jesus said 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.
18 Mariamu Mũmagidali agĩthiĩ kũrĩ arutwo, akĩmatwarĩra ũhoro, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete Mwathani!” Na akĩmeera atĩ nĩwe wamwĩrĩte maũndũ macio.
Mary Magdalen came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
19 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!”
Then, on that day, the first day of the week, when it was evening, and the doors of the house in which the disciples were assembled had been closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.
20 Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo akĩmoonia moko make na mbaru ciake. Nao arutwo makĩiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno nĩ ũndũ wa kuona Mwathani.
And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced, when they saw the Lord.
21 Na o rĩngĩ Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gĩai na thayũ! O ta ũrĩa Baba aandũmire, noguo o na niĩ ndamũtũma.”
Then Jesus said to them again: Peace be to you. As my Father has sent me, so I send you.
22 Na oiga ũguo, akĩmahuhĩrĩria mĩhũmũ yake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Amũkĩrai Roho Mũtheru.
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Arĩa othe mwarekera mehia mao, nĩmarĩrekagĩrwo, na arĩa othe mũtarĩrekagĩra, matirĩrekagĩrwo.”
Whosever sins you forgive, they are forgiven them: whosever sins you retain, they are retained.
24 Na rĩrĩ, Toma (ũrĩa wetagwo Wa-mahatha), ũmwe wa arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, ndaarĩ hamwe na arutwo rĩrĩa Jesũ okire.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 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.”
Then the other disciples said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger in the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 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!”
And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Then Jesus came, though the doors had been closed, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.
27 Agĩcooka akĩĩra Toma atĩrĩ, “Toonyia kĩara gĩaku haha; rora moko makwa. Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũgũikie mbaru-inĩ ciakwa. Tiga kũgĩa na nganja, ĩtĩkia.”
Then he said to Thomas: Reach hither your finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither your hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.
28 Nake Toma akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani wakwa na Ngai wakwa!”
And Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God.
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wetĩkia tondũ nĩwanyona. Kũrathimwo nĩ arĩa metĩkagia matonete.”
Jesus said to him: Because you have seen me you have believed: blessed are they who, though they have not seen, yet have believed.
30 Jesũ nĩaringire ciama ingĩ nyingĩ akĩonagwo nĩ arutwo ake, iria itaandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.
Many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
31 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.
but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life through his name.
