UJohane 20
1 Kwathi ngolokuqala lweviki uMariya Magadalena wafika engcwabeni ekuseni kakhulu, kusesemnyama, wabona ilitshe lisusiwe engcwabeni.
Now on the first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth 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 runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto 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 they went toward the tomb.
4 Basebegijima bobabili kanyekanye; omunye umfundi wasegijima phambili ngesiqubu kuloPetro, wafika kuqala engcwabeni.
And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;
5 Kwathi ekhothama elunguza wabona amalembu acolekileyo endlelwe, kodwa kangenanga.
and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.
6 USimoni Petro wasefika emlandela, wangena engcwabeni, wabona amalembu acolekileyo endlelwe,
Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,
7 lelembu lobuso elalisekhanda lakhe, lingabekwanga lamalembu acolekileyo, kodwa lendluliwe lisendaweni yalo lodwa.
and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
8 Ngakho wasengena laye omunye umfundi owayefike kuqala engcwabeni, wabona, wakholwa;
Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, which came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.
9 ngoba babengakaqedisisi umbhalo, ukuthi ubemele ukuvuka kwabafileyo.
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Basebesuka futhi abafundi baya kubo.
So the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 Kodwa uMariya wema engcwabeni phandle ekhala; kwathi esakhala, wakhothama walunguza engcwabeni,
But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
12 wasebona ingilosi ezimbili zembethe ezimhlophe zihlezi, enye ingasekhanda, lenye ingasenyaweni, lapho isidumbu sikaJesu ebesilele khona.
and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, 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 unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto 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.
When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, 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 saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto 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 saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 UJesu wathi kuye: Ungangibambi, ngoba kangikenyukeli kuBaba; kodwa yana kubafowethu, uthi kubo: Ngiyenyukela kuBaba loYihlo, lakuNkulunkulu wami loNkulunkulu wenu.
Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.
18 UMariya Magadalena weza wababikela abafundi ukuthi uyibonile iNkosi, njalo imtshele lezizinto.
Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and [how that] he had said these things unto 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, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.
20 Njalo esetshilo lokhu wabatshengisa izandla zakhe lohlangothi lwakhe. Ngakho abafundi bathokoza beyibona iNkosi.
And when he had said this, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 UJesu wasebuya esithi kubo: Ukuthula kakube kini; njengoba uBaba engithumile, lami ngiyalithuma.
Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 Kwathi esetshilo lokhu waphephetha phezu kwabo wathi kubo: Yemukelani uMoya oNgcwele.
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Loba ngobani elithethelela izono zabo, bathethelelwe; loba ngobani elibamba ezabo, zibanjiwe.
whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto 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 unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print 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 after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.
27 Wasesithi kuTomasi: Letha umunwe wakho lapha, ubone izandla zami; njalo letha isandla sakho, usifake ehlangothini lwami; njalo ungabi ngongakholwayo, kodwa okholwayo.
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 UTomasi wasephendula, wathi kuye: Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami!
Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 UJesu wathi kuye: Ngoba usungibonile, Tomasi, ukholiwe; babusisiwe abangabonanga, kanti bakholiwe.
Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
30 Njalo uJesu wazenza lezinye izibonakaliso ezinengi phambi kwabafundi bakhe, ezingalotshwanga kulolugwalo.
Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the 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 may have life in his name.
