< John 20 >

1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
Linu kuseni seni he zuba lya matangilo lye viiki, ha ku ba ku sisiha, Maria Magadalana cheza kwi kuumbu mi cha bona ibbwe ni li pindumunwa kuzwa kwi kuumbu.
2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!”
Mi cha tiiya ni kwiza kwa Simone Pitolosi ni ku ba lutwana bamwi abo Jesu ba ba kusuna, mi nati kubali, “Ba ba hindi Simwine kumu zwisa mwi ikuumbu, mi ka twizi uko ku baba ka mulaziki.”
3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.
Mi kuzwa aho Pitolosi ni zumwi mulutwana chi ba zwa kuyenda, mi chi ba yenda kwi ikuumbu.
4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
Bonse chi ba tiya hamwina, mi zumwi mulutwana cha tiyaa ha busu kuhitilila Pitolosi mi ni ku sika wentanzi kwi ikuumbu.
5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not enter in.
Mi cha zunza mo cha bona majila a zi zwato na dansi hateni, kono kana abe njili mukati.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,
Simone Pitolosi ya ba shalile kwali cha sika mi cha yenda mwi ikuumbu. Cha bona majira a zizwato na dansi hateni,
7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
mi ni jira li bena ku mutwi wa kwe. ka hena li ba dansi hamwina ni majira a zizwato kono liba bungeletwe ha ngi lyolyona.
8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.
Linu zumwi mu lutwana, iye ya ba tangi kusika kwi ikuumbu, naye che njila mukati, mi cha bona ni ku zumina.
9 For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
Mi ku sikila ina i nako kana ba beni kwi ziba iñolo kuti mbwabuke ku zwa ku ba fwile.
10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
Mi balutwana chi ba boola ku inzubo hape.
11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,
Kono Maria aba zimene hanze lye ikuumbu na silisa. Ha ba ku silisa bulyo, cha kotama ni ku zunza mwi ikuumbu.
12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Cha bona ma ngeloi obele muzituba ne keele, limwi ku mutwi, limwi ku matende uko mubiliwa Jesu uba lele.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”
Chi bati kwali, “mwanakazi, cinzi ha usilisa?” cha wamba kubali, “Ka kuti ba hinda Simwine wangu, mi kanizi uko kuba mubika.”
14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and did not know that it was Jesus.
Ha wamba ichi, cha chebuka mi cha bona Jesu na zimene hana, kono kana abezi kuti nji Jesu.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
Jesu chati kwali, “Mwanakazi, chinzi ha u silisa? ukwete ku lola ni?” abali ku seza kuti mu loli we iwa, mi nati kwali, “Mutompehi, heba wa mu zwisa kunze, ni wa mbile ku wa mubika, mi munika mu zwise kwateni.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
Jesu nati kwali, “Maria.” Cha che buka, cha wamba kwali mu chi Aramaiki, “Rabboni,” (italusa: “Muluti.”)
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
Jesu nati kwali, “kanji uni kwati, ka kuti ka nini ku bola kwi wulu kwa Itayo, kono u yende ku ba mwangu mi ukate ku bali kuti muni ye kwi wulu kwa Tayo ni Itayo wako, kwe reeza wangu ni Ireeza wako.”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
Maria Magadalena che za ni ku wambila ba lutwana, “Ni ba boni Simwine” mi ni kuti aba wambi izi ziintu kwali.
19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
Ha chiibali citengu, ho luna lu zuba, izuba lye ntanzi lwe viiki, mi mi lyango ya mu babena ba lutwana, ibe ya litwe cha ku tiya Majuda, Jesu che za mi cha zimana mukati kabo mi chati ku bali, “i nkozo kwenu.”
20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
Ha mana ku te chi, cha ba tondeza mayanza akwe ni mpaati yakwe. Mi ba lutwana haba bona Simwine, ba ba sangite.
21 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
Jesu kuzwaho cha wamba kubali hape, “i nkozo kwenu. Sina Itayo habani tumi, linu mu ni mi tumina.”
22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Jesu hamana ku ta ichi, na huzikiza ha bali mi nati kubali, “Mu tambule lu Huho lu Jolola.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
Bonse ba mu wo ndola zibe, ba zi wo ndelwa; bonse ba zibe zi mukwete, zi si kwetwe.”
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Tomasi, zumwi wabe kumi ni bobele, ya ba ku sumpwa Didimasi, kana bena nabo Jesu heza.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Bamwi ba lutwana ha ku mana chi ba mu cho, “Twa bona Simwine” Cha ba cho, “kwanda chi na bona mu mayanza akwe i bbata lya zi pikili, mi niku bika munwe mwi bbata lya zi pikili, ni ku bika i yanza lyangu mwi mpaati ya kwe, ke te ni zumine.”
26 After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.”
Ha kumana mazuba akwana iyanza ni to tatwe ba lutwana bakwe ba bena mukati hape, Mi Tomasi a bena nabo. Jesu cheza milyango ni basi yalitwe, mi cha ziima mukati ka bo, mi chati, “inkozo kwenu.”
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
Mi cha ti kwa Tomasi, “u chune kunu ni munwe wako, u bone ma yanza angu, u chune kunu ni yanza lya ko, mi uli bike mwi mpaati yangu, kanji ubi yasa zumini, kono u zumine.”
28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
Tomasi che taaba mi nati kwali, “Simwine wangu ni Ireeza wangu.”
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Jesu na cho kwali, “kakuti wani bona, wa zumina. Ba fuyoletwe nja bo ba seni ku bona, mi ni bazumina.”
30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
Linu Jesu cha tenda zi supo zimwi zingi mu ku bako kwa ba lutwana, zi supo zi seni kuñolwa mwe yi imbuka,
31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
kono izi zi ba ñolwa mukuti mu zumine kuti Jesu nji Kerisite, mwana wa Ireeza, mi nji kuti ku zumina, ni mwaba ni buhalo mwi zina lya kwe.
