Mateo 28
1 Homeda no akyi Memeneda ahemadakye, Maria Magdalene ne Maria baako no kɔɔ ɔda no so.
Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, came to see the tomb.
2 Asase wosow denneennen, na Awurade bɔfo sian fii ɔsoro ba bepirew ɔbo no fii ɔda no ano, na ɔtenaa so.
Now then, a big earthquake had occurred, because an angel of the Lord, descending out of heaven, had come and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it!
3 Nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ kanea na nʼatade yɛ fitaa te sɛ nwera.
And his appearance was like lightning and his clothing as white as snow.
4 Awɛmfo no huu no no, ehu maa wɔn ho popoe, na wɔhwehwee ase, dan sɛ awufo.
So the guards were shaken for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 Ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ mmea no se, “Munnsuro! Minim sɛ morehwehwɛ Yesu a wɔbɔɔ no asennua mu no,
Now the angel spoke up and said to the women: “Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for the Jesus who was crucified.
6 nanso onni ha. Wasɔre kɔ sɛnea ɔkae no. Mommra mmɛhwɛ nea na ɔda hɔ no.
He is not here, because He is risen, just like He said! Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
7 Afei monkɔ ntɛm nkɔka nkyerɛ nʼasuafo no se, ‘Wasɔre afi awufo mu, na ɔredi mo anim kan akɔ Galilea akohyia mo wɔ hɔ.’ Eyi ne nkra a mewɔ de ma mo.”
Now go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and get this, He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. There, I have told you!”
8 Mmea no de ehu ne anigye a adi afra tutuu mmirika fii ɔda no so sɛ, wɔrekɔhwehwɛ asuafo no aka ɔbɔfo no nkra no akyerɛ wɔn.
So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to report to His disciples.
9 Wɔrekɔ no, prɛko pɛ, Yesu begyinaa wɔn anim. Okyiaa wɔn se, “Asomdwoe nka mo.” Wobuu no nkotodwe, som no.
But as they were going to report to His disciples, wow, Jesus met them saying, “Rejoice!” So approaching, they held His feet and worshiped Him.
10 Afei Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnsuro! Monkɔ nkɔka nkyerɛ me nuanom no se wɔnkɔ Galilea nkohyia me wɔ hɔ.”
Then Jesus says to them: “Do not be afraid! Go report to my brothers that they must go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
11 Bere a mmea no rekɔ kurow no mu no, awɛmfo a wɔwɛn ɔda no mu bi kɔɔ asɔfo mpanyin no nkyɛn kɔkaa nea asi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Now while they were going, get this, some of the guard went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12 Yudafo mpanyin no nyinaa hyiae, na wosii no gyinae se, wɔbɛma awɛmfo no sika aka akyerɛ wɔn
When they had met with the elders and consulted together, they gave plenty of money to the soldiers
13 se, “Monka se, ‘Anadwo a yɛdae no na nʼasuafo no ba bewiaa amu no kɔe.’”
saying: “Say that his disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping.
14 Wɔhyɛɛ awɛmfo no bɔ se, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ amrado te ɛho asɛm a, yebedi mo adanse sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrenyɛ mo hwee.”
And should this get to the governor, we will persuade him and make you safe.”
15 Eyi nti awɛmfo no gyee sika no kɔyɛɛ sɛnea wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no. Asɛm a wɔkae no trɛw faa Yudafo no mu nyinaa na wogye dii de besi nnɛ.
So taking the money they did as they were instructed. Their tale is widely spread among the Jews until this day.
16 Afei asuafo dubaako no sii mu kɔɔ Galilea bepɔw a Yesu kae se wɔnkɔ so no so.
The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain that Jesus had indicated to them.
17 Ɛhɔ na wohuu no, kotow, sɔree no. Nanso na wɔn mu bi nnye nni ara.
When they saw Him they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Wɔde ɔsoro ne asase so tumi nyinaa ama me.
And approaching Jesus asserted to them saying: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Enti monkɔ nkɔyɛ amanaman nyinaa mʼasuafo. Mommɔ wɔn asu nhyɛ Agya, Ɔba ne Honhom Kronkron din mu,
As you go, make disciples in all ethnic nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;
