Κατα Ιωαννην 20
1 Την δε πρώτην της εβδομάδος Μαρία η Μαγδαληνή έρχεται εις το μνημείον το πρωΐ, ενώ έτι ήτο σκότος, και βλέπει τον λίθον σηκωμένον εκ του μνημείου.
Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], went to the [burial] cave [with some other women]. They saw that the stone had been removed {that someone had removed the stone} from the [entrance to the] cave.
2 Τρέχει λοιπόν και έρχεται προς τον Σίμωνα Πέτρον και προς τον άλλον μαθητήν, τον οποίον ηγάπα ο Ιησούς, και λέγει προς αυτούς· Εσήκωσαν τον Κύριον εκ του μνημείου, και δεν εξεύρομεν που έθεσαν αυτόν.
So Mary ran to where Simon Peter and I [were staying in Jerusalem]. She said to us, “They have taken the Lord’s [body] out of the burial cave, and we do not know where they have put it!”
3 Εξήλθε λοιπόν ο Πέτρος και ο άλλος μαθητής και ήρχοντο εις το μνημείον.
So Peter and I started going to the cave.
4 Έτρεχον δε οι δύο ομού· και ο άλλος μαθητής προέτρεξε ταχύτερον του Πέτρου και ήλθε πρώτος εις το μνημείον,
We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
5 και παρακύψας βλέπει κείμενα τα σάβανα, δεν εισήλθεν όμως.
I stooped down [at the entrance] and looked inside. I saw the strips of linen cloth lying there [where his body had been laid], but I did not go inside.
6 Έρχεται λοιπόν ο Σίμων Πέτρος ακολουθών αυτόν, και εισήλθεν εις το μνημείον και θεωρεί τα σάβανα κείμενα,
Then Simon Peter, who was running behind me, arrived. He went inside the cave. He, too, saw the strips of linen cloth lying there.
7 και το σουδάριον, το οποίον ήτο επί της κεφαλής αυτού, κείμενον ουχί ομού με τα σάβανα, αλλά χωριστά τετυλιγμένον εις ένα τόπον.
He also [saw the] cloth that they had [wrapped] around Jesus’ head. It had been folded and put {Someone had folded it and put it} aside, separate from the linen strips.
8 Τότε λοιπόν εισήλθε και ο άλλος μαθητής ο ελθών πρώτος εις το μνημείον, και είδε και επίστευσε·
Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
9 διότι δεν ενόουν έτι την γραφήν ότι πρέπει αυτός να αναστηθή εκ νεκρών.
Before this happened, we did not understand from [what the prophets had written in] the Scriptures, that he had to become alive again after he died.
10 Ανεχώρησαν λοιπόν πάλιν εις τα ίδια οι μαθηταί.
Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
11 Η δε Μαρία ίστατο πλησίον του μνημείου κλαίουσα έξω. Ενώ λοιπόν έκλαιεν, έκυψεν εις το μνημείον·
As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
12 και βλέπει δύο αγγέλους με λευκά ιμάτια καθημένους, ένα προς την κεφαλήν και ένα προς τους πόδας, εκεί όπου έκειτο το σώμα του Ιησού.
She saw two angels in very white [clothing], sitting at the place where Jesus’ body had been laid. One was where his head had been, and the other was where his feet had been.
13 Και λέγουσι προς αυτήν εκείνοι· Γύναι, τι κλαίεις; Λέγει προς αυτούς· Διότι εσήκωσαν τον Κύριόν μου, και δεν εξεύρω που έθεσαν αυτόν.
They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She said to them, “They have taken away [the body of] my Lord, and I do not know where they have put it!”
14 Και αφού είπε ταύτα, εστράφη εις τα οπίσω και θεωρεί τον Ιησούν ιστάμενον, και δεν ήξευρεν ότι είναι ο Ιησούς.
After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Γύναι, τι κλαίεις; τίνα ζητείς; Εκείνη νομίζουσα ότι είναι ο κηπουρός, λέγει προς αυτόν· Κύριε, εάν συ εσήκωσας αυτόν, ειπέ μοι που έθεσας αυτόν, και εγώ θέλω σηκώσει αυτόν.
He said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” Thinking that he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken his [body] away, tell me where you have put it. Then I will get it [and bury it properly].”
16 Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Μαρία. Εκείνη στραφείσα λέγει προς αυτόν· Ραββουνί, το οποίον λέγεται, Διδάσκαλε.
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
17 Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Μη μου άπτου· διότι δεν ανέβην έτι προς τον Πατέρα μου. Αλλ' ύπαγε προς τους αδελφούς μου και ειπέ προς αυτούς· Αναβαίνω προς τον Πατέρα μου και Πατέρα σας και Θεόν μου και Θεόν σας.
Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to me, because I have not yet returned to my Father. Go to my disciples and tell them, ‘I am about to return to my Father and your Father, to the one who is my God and your God’.”
18 Έρχεται Μαρία η Μαγδαληνή και απαγγέλλει προς τους μαθητάς ότι είδε τον Κύριον και ότι είπε ταύτα προς αυτήν.
So Mary went to where [we] disciples were and told us that she had seen the Lord [alive again]. She also told us what Jesus said that she [should tell us].
19 Το εσπέρας λοιπόν της ημέρας εκείνης της πρώτης της εβδομάδος, ενώ αι θύραι ήσαν κεκλεισμέναι, όπου οι μαθηταί ήσαν συνηγμένοι διά τον φόβον των Ιουδαίων, ήλθεν ο Ιησούς και εστάθη εις το μέσον, και λέγει προς αυτούς· Ειρήνη υμίν.
On that Sunday evening [we] disciples gathered together. The doors were locked {[We] locked the doors} because we were afraid that [the Jewish leaders] [SYN] [might arrest us. Suddenly] Jesus appeared [miraculously] and stood among us! He said to us, “May God give you [inner] peace!”
20 Και τούτο ειπών έδειξεν εις αυτούς τας χείρας και την πλευράν αυτού. Εχάρησαν λοιπόν οι μαθηταί ιδόντες τον Κύριον.
After he said that, he showed us [the wounds in] his hands and his side. We were very happy when we saw the Lord!
21 Είπε δε πάλιν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Ειρήνη υμίν· καθώς με απέστειλεν ο Πατήρ, και εγώ πέμπω εσάς.
Jesus said to us again, “May God give you peace! Just like [my] Father sent me, now I am sending you [to proclaim my message].”
22 Και τούτο ειπών, ενεφύσησε και λέγει προς αυτούς· Λάβετε Πνεύμα Άγιον.
After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23 Αν τινών συγχωρήσητε τας αμαρτίας, είναι συγκεχωρημέναι εις αυτούς, αν τινών κρατήτε, είναι κεκρατημέναι.
If you forgive people for their having sinned, [God will already] have forgiven them. If you do not forgive them, [God] has not forgiven them.”
24 Θωμάς δε, εις εκ των δώδεκα, ο λεγόμενος Δίδυμος, δεν ήτο μετ' αυτών ότε ήλθεν ο Ιησούς.
One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
25 Έλεγον λοιπόν προς αυτόν οι άλλοι μαθηταί· Είδομεν τον Κύριον. Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς· Εάν δεν ίδω εν ταις χερσίν αυτού τον τύπον των ήλων και βάλω τον δάκτυλόν μου εις τον τύπον των ήλων, και βάλω την χείρα μου εις την πλευράν αυτού, δεν θέλω πιστεύσει.
When the rest of us told him that we had seen the Lord, he said to us, “If I do not see the marks of the nails in his hands and put my fingers in the place where the nails were, and put my hands into the place in his side [where the soldier thrust the spear], I will certainly not believe [that he was the one you saw]!”
26 Και μεθ' ημέρας οκτώ πάλιν ήσαν έσω οι μαθηταί αυτού και Θωμάς μετ' αυτών. Έρχεται ο Ιησούς, ενώ αι θύραι ήσαν κεκλεισμέναι, και εστάθη εις το μέσον και είπεν· Ειρήνη υμίν.
A week later we were in [the house] again. This time Thomas was with us. Although the doors had been locked {[we] had locked the doors}, Jesus [again] appeared [miraculously] and stood among us. He said, “May God give peace to you!”
27 Έπειτα λέγει προς τον Θωμάν· Φέρε τον δάκτυλόν σου εδώ και ίδε τας χείρας μου, και φέρε την χείρα σου και βάλε εις την πλευράν μου, και μη γίνου άπιστος αλλά πιστός.
Then he [showed] Thomas [his hands] and said to him, “Put your finger here! Look at [the wounds in] my hands! Reach out your hand and put it in [the wound in] my side! Stop doubting [LIT/DOU]! Instead, believe [that I am alive again]!”
28 Και απεκρίθη ο Θωμάς και είπε προς αυτόν· Ο Κύριός μου και ο Θεός μου.
Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
29 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Επειδή με είδες, Θωμά, επίστευσας· μακάριοι όσοι δεν είδον και επίστευσαν.
Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed [that about me]. But God [is truly] pleased with those who have believed [that about me], even though they have not seen me!”
30 Και άλλα πολλά θαύματα έκαμεν ο Ιησούς ενώπιον των μαθητών αυτού, τα οποία δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω τούτω·
[We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
31 ταύτα δε εγράφησαν διά να πιστεύσητε ότι ο Ιησούς είναι ο Χριστός ο Υιός του Θεού, και πιστεύοντες να έχητε ζωήν εν τω ονόματι αυτού.
But these [that I have written about, I] have written about them in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God), and in order that you may have [eternal] life [by trusting] (in him/ in what he [has done for you]) [MTY].
