Jaona 20
1 Ie loak’ andro’ ty Sabotse le nañaleñaleñe mb’an-donake mb’eo t’i Miriame nte-Magdalà, ie mbe nimaieñe, vaho naheo’e te nasitak’ amy lonakey i vatoy.
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 Le nihitrihitry mb’amy Petera naho i mpiama’e nikokoa’ Iesoày mb’eo, nanao ty hoe: Fa tinava’ iereo boak’ an-donak’ ao t’i Talè, le tsy fohi’ay ty nandrohotañ’ aze.
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 Niavotse amy zao t’i Petera naho i mpiama’ey nimb’ an-donake mb’eo.
So Peter and I started going to the cave.
4 Sindre nilay, fe nilosore’ i mpiama’ey t’i Petera vaho niavy an-donake eo aolo.
We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
5 Ie nibotreke, niisa’e o lamba-lenio nidoñe eo, f’ie tsy nizilik’ ao.
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 Pok’eo amy zao t’i Petera nanonjohy aze, le nimoak’ an-donak’ ao vaho nahaisake te nidoke eo o lamba lenio,
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 fe tsy nirekets’ amo lamba lenio ty lamba nakolopok’ i añambone’ey, f’ie niholoñe tokañe eo.
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 Nizilik’ ao amy zao i mpiama’e niavy aolo an-donakey, le nahatrea vaho niantoke.
Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
9 Mbe tsy nirendre’ iereo hey i Sokitse Masiñe manao t’ie tsi-mahay tsy mitroatse amy havilasiy.
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 Le nimpoly mb’an-kiboho’ iareo añe i mpiama’e rey.
Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
11 Nijohañe alafe’ i lonakey avao t’i Marie, nirovetse; ie mbe niharovetse, nibokoke naho nitilihitse an-donak’ ao
As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
12 vaho nahaoniñe ty anjely roe nisaroñe foty niambesatse ey, ty atondohà’e eo naho ty antimpahe’e eo, amy nandrohotañe ty fañòva’ Iesoày.
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 Le hoe iereo tama’e, O Rakembao, ino ty iroveta’o. Hoe re am’iereo: Nasinta’ iereo i Talèkoy, le tsy fantako ty nandrohotañ’ aze.
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 Ie nanoe’e izay le nitolike vaho nahaisake Iesoà nijohañe eo, fe tsy napota’e t’ie Iesoà.
After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: O Rakembao, inoñe ty angololoiha’o? Ia ty paia’o? Ie natao’e te mpañalahala goloboñe, le nanoa’e ty hoe: O androanavio, naho ninday aze boak’ etoan-drehe, taroño amako ty nandrohota’o aze, hitakonako añe.
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 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: O Marie. Natrefa’e le nanoa’e ty hoe: O Rabony, ze midika ty hoe: Talèko.
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
17 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Ko mitsapa ahy, fa mboe tsy nionjoñe mb’ aman-dRaeko, akia mb’ aman-drolongoko mb’eo vaho atalilio te: Mionjom-baman-dRaeko naho Rae’ areo, mb’ aman’ Añahareko naho Andrianañahare’ areo mb’eo.
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 Nienga t’i Miriame nte-Magdalà nitaroñe amo mpiama’eo t’ie nahaisak’ i Talè naho te nisaontsia’e irezay.
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 Ie hariva amy àndroy, ty loak’ andro’ i Sabotse naho nagabeñe o lalan’ anjomba’ niharoa’ o mpiama’eoo ie nihembañ’ amo Tehodaoy, le nisodehañe eo t’Iesoà, nijohañe añivo’ iareo ao nanao ty hoe: Fañanintsiñe ama’areo.
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 Ie nanoe’e izay, le nitoroa’e o fità’eo naho i leme’ey. Le nifale o mpiama’eo te nahaisake i Talè.
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 Nindrae’ Iesoà am’iereo ty hoe: Fañanintsiñe ama’areo. Hambañe ami’ty nañitrifan-dRaeko ahy ty añirahako anahareo.
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 Ie nitsara izay le tinio’e iereo, nanao ty hoe: Rambeso i Arofo Masiñey;
After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23 Aa ndra hakeo’ iaia ty apo’ areo ro hafahañe ama’e; f’ie ho tanañe naho tana’ areo.
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 Tsy nitraok’ am’iereo t’i Tomasy, atao Didimo, mpiamy folo ro’amby rey, amy nivotraha’ Iesoày.
One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
25 Aa le nitalily ty hoe ama’e o mpiama’e ila’eo: Fa niisa’ay t’i Talè. Fe hoe re: Lehe tsy treako am-pità’e eo o olam-pantsikeo, naho tsy aziliko amo olatseo ty rambo-tañako vaho atsorofoko an-deme’e ao ty tañako, izaho tsy hiantoke.
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 Ie nimodo ty valo andro, le tao indraike o mpiama’eo rekets’ i Tomasy. Le nivotrak’ eo t’Iesoà, ie nirindriñe o lalañeo, nijohañe añivo’ iereo eo, nanao ty hoe: Fañanintsiñe ama’areo.
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 Le hoe re tamy Tomasy: Atakaro mb’ etoañe ty rambo-pità’o, heheke o tañakoo; le amparo mb’etoañe o fità’oo naho ampiziliho an-demeko etoa, vaho ko mañaly tro fa matokisa.
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 Hoe ty natoi’ i Tomasy aze: Ry Talèko naho Andrianañahareko!
Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
29 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Ihe nahaisak’ ahy ro natokisa’o; haha ze miato fa tsy nahaoniñe.
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 Mbe maro ty viloñe nanoe’ Iesoà añatrefa’ o mpiama’eo ze tsy sinokitse ami’ty boke toy.
[We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
31 Sinoratse ka o retoañe hatokisa’ areo te Iesoà Norizañey ro Anan’ Añahare vaho i tahina’ey ro anaña’areo mpiato haveloñe.
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].
