Matiu 28
1 I te mutunga o te hapati i te mea ka tata tonu te puao te ra tuatahi o te wiki, ka haere a Meri Makarini me tera Meri kia kite i te tanumanga.
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
2 Na he nui te ru i puta mai: i heke iho hoki tetahi anahera a te Ariki i te rangi, a haere ana, whakataka atu ana e ia te kohatu i te kuwaha, a noho ana i runga.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
3 Ko tona ahua me te mea he uira, ma tonu tona kakahu ano he hukarere:
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4 A wiri noa iho nga kaitiaki i te wehi ki a ia, ka rite ki te tupapaku.
The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.
5 Na ka oho te anahera, ka mea ki nga wahine, Kei wehi korua: e matau ana hoki ahau, e rapu ana korua i a Ihu i ripekatia.
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 Kahore ia i konei: kua ara ke, kua pera me tana i mea ai. Haere mai kia kite i te wahi i takoto ai te Ariki.
He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.
7 A hohoro te haere, korerotia ki ana akonga, kua ara ia i te hunga mate: tena ia te haere na i mua i a koutou ki Kariri; ko reira koutou kite ai i a ia: na kua korero nei ahau ki a korua.
Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”
8 A hohoro tonu ta raua haere atu i te urupa, me te wehi, me te harakoa nui, a oma ana ki te korero ki ana akonga.
So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.
9 Na ka tutaki a Ihu ki a raua, ka mea mai, E ia ma. Na ka haere atu raua, ka pupuri i ona waewae, ka koropiko ki a ia.
Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.
10 Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki a raua, Aua e wehi: haere, ki atu ki oku teina kia haere ki Kariri, ko reira hoki ratou kite ai i ahau.
“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”
11 A, i a raua e haere ana, na kua tae etahi o nga kaitiaki ki te pa, kua korero ki nga tohunga nui i nga mea katoa i meatia.
While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12 Na, ka mutu ta ratou huihui ko nga kaumatua a ka runanga, ka hoatu e ratou he moni nui ki nga hoia,
And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
13 Ka mea atu, Me ki e koutou, I haere ana akonga i te po, a tahaetia ana ia, i a matou e moe ana.
and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
14 A, ki te tae te rongo o tenei ki te kawana, ma matou ia e whakamarie, a kahore he manukanuka mo koutou.
If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
15 Na ka tango ratou i nga moni, a meinga ana nga mea i akona ai ratou: heoi kei te korerotia tenei e nga Hurai, a taea noatia tenei ra.
So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.
16 Na ka haere nga akonga tekau ma tahi ki Kariri, ki te maunga i whakaritea e Ihu ki a ratou.
Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.
17 A, i to ratou kitenga i a ia, ka koropiko ki a ia: ko etahi ia i ruarua.
When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
18 Na ka haere mai a Ihu, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Kua tukua katoatia mai ki ahau te mana i te rangi, a i runga i te whenua.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 Na reira haere, meinga hei akonga nga iwi katoa, iriiria i runga i te ingoa o te Matua, o te Tama, o te Wairua tapu:
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20 Akona ratou kia mau ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koutou: na, ko ahau tena hei hoa mo koutou i nga ra katoa, a te mutunga ra ano o te ao. Amine. (aiōn g165)
and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (aiōn g165)
