UJohane 20
1 Kwathi ngolokuqala lweviki uMariya Magadalena wafika engcwabeni ekuseni kakhulu, kusesemnyama, wabona ilitshe lisusiwe engcwabeni.
And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.
2 Ngakho wagijima weza kuSimoni Petro lakomunye umfundi uJesu ayemthanda, wathi kubo: Bayisusile iNkosi engcwabeni, njalo kasazi lapho abayibeke khona.
She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Ngakho uPetro waphuma lomunye umfundi, bafika engcwabeni.
Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.
4 Basebegijima bobabili kanyekanye; omunye umfundi wasegijima phambili ngesiqubu kuloPetro, wafika kuqala engcwabeni.
And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,
5 Kwathi ekhothama elunguza wabona amalembu acolekileyo endlelwe, kodwa kangenanga.
and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.
6 USimoni Petro wasefika emlandela, wangena engcwabeni, wabona amalembu acolekileyo endlelwe,
Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,
7 lelembu lobuso elalisekhanda lakhe, lingabekwanga lamalembu acolekileyo, kodwa lendluliwe lisendaweni yalo lodwa.
and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.
8 Ngakho wasengena laye omunye umfundi owayefike kuqala engcwabeni, wabona, wakholwa;
Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;
9 ngoba babengakaqedisisi umbhalo, ukuthi ubemele ukuvuka kwabafileyo.
for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.
10 Basebesuka futhi abafundi baya kubo.
The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.
11 Kodwa uMariya wema engcwabeni phandle ekhala; kwathi esakhala, wakhothama walunguza engcwabeni,
But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,
12 wasebona ingilosi ezimbili zembethe ezimhlophe zihlezi, enye ingasekhanda, lenye ingasenyaweni, lapho isidumbu sikaJesu ebesilele khona.
and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 Zona zasezisithi kuye: Mama, ukhalelani? Wathi kuzo: Ngoba bayithethe iNkosi yami, njalo kangazi lapho abayibeke khona.
And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto watshibilika, wabona uJesu emi, kodwa wayengazi ukuthi nguJesu.
Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 UJesu wathi kuye: Mama, ukhalelani? Udinga bani? Yena ecabanga ukuthi ngumphathi wesivande, wathi kuye: Nkosi, uba wena umsusile, ngitshele lapho ombeke khona, mina-ke ngizamthatha.
Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 UJesu wathi kuye: Mariya! Yena watshibilika wathi kuye: Raboni! okuyikuthi: Mfundisi.
Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.
17 UJesu wathi kuye: Ungangibambi, ngoba kangikenyukeli kuBaba; kodwa yana kubafowethu, uthi kubo: Ngiyenyukela kuBaba loYihlo, lakuNkulunkulu wami loNkulunkulu wenu.
Jesus says 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 UMariya Magadalena weza wababikela abafundi ukuthi uyibonile iNkosi, njalo imtshele lezizinto.
Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.
19 Kwathi kusihlwa ngalolosuku, olokuqala lweviki, leminyango ivaliwe lapho abafundi ababehlangene khona, ngenxa yokwesaba amaJuda, uJesu wafika wema phakathi, wathi kubo: Ukuthula kakube kini.
When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.
20 Njalo esetshilo lokhu wabatshengisa izandla zakhe lohlangothi lwakhe. Ngakho abafundi bathokoza beyibona iNkosi.
And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.
21 UJesu wasebuya esithi kubo: Ukuthula kakube kini; njengoba uBaba engithumile, lami ngiyalithuma.
[Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.
22 Kwathi esetshilo lokhu waphephetha phezu kwabo wathi kubo: Yemukelani uMoya oNgcwele.
And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:
23 Loba ngobani elithethelela izono zabo, bathethelelwe; loba ngobani elibamba ezabo, zibanjiwe.
whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
24 Kodwa uTomasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, othiwa nguDidimusi, wayengekho labo mhla uJesu efika.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 Ngakho abanye abafundi bathi kuye: Siyibonile iNkosi. Kodwa yena wathi kubo: Uba ngingaboni ezandleni zayo amanxeba ezipikili, njalo ngifake umunwe wami enxebeni lezipikili, njalo ngibeke izandla zami ehlangothini lwayo, kangisoze ngikholwe.
The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 Njalo emva kwensuku eziyisificaminwembili abafundi bakhe babephakathi futhi, loTomasi elabo. UJesu wafika, iminyango ivaliwe, wema phakathi wathi: Ukuthula kakube kini.
And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace [be] to you.
27 Wasesithi kuTomasi: Letha umunwe wakho lapha, ubone izandla zami; njalo letha isandla sakho, usifake ehlangothini lwami; njalo ungabi ngongakholwayo, kodwa okholwayo.
Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.
28 UTomasi wasephendula, wathi kuye: Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami!
Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.
29 UJesu wathi kuye: Ngoba usungibonile, Tomasi, ukholiwe; babusisiwe abangabonanga, kanti bakholiwe.
Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.
30 Njalo uJesu wazenza lezinye izibonakaliso ezinengi phambi kwabafundi bakhe, ezingalotshwanga kulolugwalo.
Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book;
31 Kodwa lezi zilotshiwe, ukuze likholwe ukuthi uJesu unguKristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, njalo ukuze lithi, likholwa, libe lempilo ebizweni lakhe.
but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.
