< 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.
Kundaŵi pe kukanaŵe kucha, lyuŵa lyaandanda lya chijuma pakumala Lyuŵa lya kupumulila, che Maliamu jwa ku Magidala ŵajawile ku lilembe, ni ŵaliŵeni liganga lila lili lyegalambule pambali kutyochela pakwinjilila mwilembe.
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 don’t know where they have laid him!”
Nipele, ŵautuchile ku che Simoni Petulo ni ajula jwakulijiganya jwine juŵanonyelwe nnope ni Che Yesu ni kwasalila, “Achikopwesye chiilu cha Ambuje mwilembe mula, ni sooni ngatukukumanyilila kwapi ambisile.”
3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.
Che Petulo pamo ni jwakulijiganya jwine jula ŵajawile ku lilembe.
4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
Wose ŵanaŵaŵili ŵautwiche nambo jwakulijiganya jwine jula jwampundile che Petulo, jwaliji jwaandanda kwika ku lilembe.
5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.
Paŵakoteme ni kulingulila, ŵasiweni nguo syeswela pe, nambo nganajinjila.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,
Nipele, che Simoni Petulo nombejo ŵaiche achakuyaga, ŵajinjile mwilembe ni ŵasiweni nguo syeswela sisyaŵijilile chiilu chi Che Yesu,
7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
ni chiguo chiŵammijilile Che Yesu mu ntwe. Chiguo chila nganichiŵa pamo ni nguo syeswela sila, nambo chaliji chepinde ni chaliji pajika.
8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.
Pelepo jwakulijiganya jwine juŵalongolele kwika ku lilembe jula, nombejo ŵajinjile nkati, ni ŵaiweni ni kukulupilila.
9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
Ŵaliji nganaŵe kugamanya Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti Che Yesu akusachilwa asyuche.
10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
Nipele ŵakulijiganya wo ŵausile kumangwao.
11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,
Che Maliamu ŵajimi paasa lilembe, achililaga. Paŵalilaga, ŵakoteme achilingulilaga mwilembe mula,
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.
ni ŵaweni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵaŵili ŵaŵawasile iwalo yeswela, atemi paŵachigoneche chiilu chi Che Yesu pala jumo kuntwe ni jwine ku makongolo.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”
Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wo ŵambusisye, “Amao, nkulila ichichi?” Ni ŵajanjile, “Achikopwesye chiilu cha Ambuje ŵangu, ni sooni ngangukumanyilila kwapi achiŵisile!”
14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.
Nipele che Maliamu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵagalawiche panyuma ni kwaona Che Yesu ali ajimi pelepo, nambo nganaimanyilila kuti jwelejo ali Che Yesu.
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.”
Che Yesu ŵambusisye, “Amao, ana nkulilila ichichi? Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?” Che Maliamu akuno achiganisyaga kuti akukunguluka ni jwakuugosa ngunda wa mwana, ŵajanjile, “Achimwene, iŵaga mmwejo nchijigele chiilu chi Che Yesu, musalile kunchiŵisile ni uneji chingachijigale.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Che Maliamu!” Ni che Maliamu ŵagalawiche panyuma, ni kwasalila Mchiebulania, “Laboni!” Malumbo gakwe “Jwakwiganya.”
17 Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t 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.’”
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nkangamula, pakuŵa ngunaŵe kwaula kwa Atati. Nambo njaule kwa achalongo achinjangu nkaasalile kuti, ngwaula kwa Atati ŵangu ŵaali Atati ŵenu, Akunnungu ŵangu ŵaali Akunnungu ŵenu.”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
Nipele che Maliamu jwa ku Magidala ŵajawile kukwasalila ŵakulijiganya kuti, ŵaweni Ambuje ni ŵaasalile achila chiŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu.
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.”
Lyaliji ligulo lya lyuŵa lyaandanda lya chijuma pakumala Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵasongangene pamo mu nyuumba ni minango jaliji jeugale ligongo lya kwajogopa achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi. Pelepo ŵaiche Che Yesu ni kwima pasikati jao ni kwasalila, “Chitendewele kukwenu!”
20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵalosisye makono gao ni luŵalati lwao. Nipele ŵakulijiganya wo ŵasengwile nnope kwawona Ambuje.
21 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
Che Yesu ŵaasalile sooni, “Chitendewele kukwenu! Mpela ila Atati iŵandumile une, ni uneji nguntuma ŵanyamwe.”
22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵapepelele ni kwasalila, “Mumpochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
Mwalechelesyaga ŵandu sambi syao, ŵele ŵandu chalecheleswe, ni aŵala ŵangankwalechelesya, ŵele ŵandu ngalecheleswa.”
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.
Che Tomasi jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, jwakuŵilanjikwa maŵila, nganaŵa pamo ni achinjakwe paŵaiche Che Yesu.
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.”
Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala ŵansalile, “Twaweni Ambuje.” Che Tomasi ŵaasalile, “Chingulupilile pachinagawone maŵasi ga misumali ni kuchiŵika chala changu pa maŵasi go ni kuuŵika nkono wangu pa luŵalati lwao.”
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.”
Nipele pagapite moŵa nsano ni gatatu ŵakulijiganya wo ŵasongangene sooni nkati mula ni che Tomasi ŵaliji pamo nawo. Minango jaliji jeugale, ni Che Yesu ŵaiche ni kwima pasikati jao ni kuti, “Chitendewele kukwenu!”
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile che Tomasi, “Mbiche chala chenu pelepa nnole magasa gangu ni njisenawo nkono wenu mbiche pa luŵalati lwangu. Nkakola lipamba nambo nkulupilile!”
28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
Che Tomasi ŵajanjile, “Mmwe ndi Ambuje ŵangu ni mmwe ndi Akunnungu ŵangu!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ana nkukulupilila ligongo muuweni? Akwete upile ŵelewo ŵakukulupilila pangamona.”
30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
Che Yesu ŵapanganyisye imanyisyo ine yejinji paŵaliji ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao yanganiilembekwe mchitabu chi.
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.
Nambo ayiyi ilembekwe nkole kukulupilila kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola, Mwana jwa Akunnungu ni kwa kunkulupilila nkole umi wausyene kwa machili ga liina lyao.
