Iohannem 20
1 una autem sabbati Maria Magdalene venit mane cum adhuc tenebrae essent ad monumentum et videt lapidem sublatum a monumento
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 cucurrit ergo et venit ad Simonem Petrum et ad alium discipulum quem amabat Iesus et dicit eis tulerunt Dominum de monumento et nescimus ubi posuerunt eum
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 exiit ergo Petrus et ille alius discipulus et venerunt ad monumentum
So Peter and I started going to the cave.
4 currebant autem duo simul et ille alius discipulus praecucurrit citius Petro et venit primus ad monumentum
We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
5 et cum se inclinasset videt posita linteamina non tamen introivit
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 venit ergo Simon Petrus sequens eum et introivit in monumentum et videt linteamina posita
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 et sudarium quod fuerat super caput eius non cum linteaminibus positum sed separatim involutum in unum locum
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 tunc ergo introivit et ille discipulus qui venerat primus ad monumentum et vidit et credidit
Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
9 nondum enim sciebant scripturam quia oportet eum a mortuis resurgere
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 abierunt ergo iterum ad semet ipsos discipuli
Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
11 Maria autem stabat ad monumentum foris plorans dum ergo fleret inclinavit se et prospexit in monumentum
As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
12 et vidit duos angelos in albis sedentes unum ad caput et unum ad pedes ubi positum fuerat corpus Iesu
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 dicunt ei illi mulier quid ploras dicit eis quia tulerunt Dominum meum et nescio ubi posuerunt eum
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 haec cum dixisset conversa est retrorsum et videt Iesum stantem et non sciebat quia Iesus est
After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 dicit ei Iesus mulier quid ploras quem quaeris illa existimans quia hortulanus esset dicit ei domine si tu sustulisti eum dicito mihi ubi posuisti eum et ego eum tollam
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 dicit ei Iesus Maria conversa illa dicit ei rabboni quod dicitur magister
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
17 dicit ei Iesus noli me tangere nondum enim ascendi ad Patrem meum vade autem ad fratres meos et dic eis ascendo ad Patrem meum et Patrem vestrum et Deum meum et Deum vestrum
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 venit Maria Magdalene adnuntians discipulis quia vidi Dominum et haec dixit mihi
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 cum esset ergo sero die illo una sabbatorum et fores essent clausae ubi erant discipuli propter metum Iudaeorum venit Iesus et stetit in medio et dicit eis pax vobis
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 et hoc cum dixisset ostendit eis manus et latus gavisi sunt ergo discipuli viso Domino
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 dixit ergo eis iterum pax vobis sicut misit me Pater et ego mitto vos
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 hoc cum dixisset insuflavit et dicit eis accipite Spiritum Sanctum
After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23 quorum remiseritis peccata remittuntur eis quorum retinueritis detenta sunt
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 Thomas autem unus ex duodecim qui dicitur Didymus non erat cum eis quando venit Iesus
One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
25 dixerunt ergo ei alii discipuli vidimus Dominum ille autem dixit eis nisi videro in manibus eius figuram clavorum et mittam digitum meum in locum clavorum et mittam manum meam in latus eius non credam
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 et post dies octo iterum erant discipuli eius intus et Thomas cum eis venit Iesus ianuis clausis et stetit in medio et dixit pax vobis
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 deinde dicit Thomae infer digitum tuum huc et vide manus meas et adfer manum tuam et mitte in latus meum et noli esse incredulus sed fidelis
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 respondit Thomas et dixit ei Dominus meus et Deus meus
Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
29 dicit ei Iesus quia vidisti me credidisti beati qui non viderunt et crediderunt
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 multa quidem et alia signa fecit Iesus in conspectu discipulorum suorum quae non sunt scripta in libro hoc
[We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
31 haec autem scripta sunt ut credatis quia Iesus est Christus Filius Dei et ut credentes vitam habeatis in nomine eius
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].
