Matio 28
1 Mi fuodima daali n pendi, a danleleeda cilima daali, ku tasoanpanpangu Magidala ya Maliyama leni Maliyama toa den gedi ki baan la li kakuli.
After (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) [ended], on Sunday morning at dawn, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 Lanyogunu ki tinga den digibi boncianla. O Diedo maleki den ñani tanpoli ki jiidi, ki cua ki bindi ya tanpabigu n den piigi li kakuli buliñoabu ki kali kupo.
Suddenly there was a strong earthquake. [At the same time] an angel from God came down from heaven. He [went to the tomb and] rolled the stone away [from the entrance so that everyone could see that the tomb was empty]. Then he sat on the stone.
3 O kaani kuli den yieni nani mi tañigima yeni, o tiayiekaadi mo den pieni pai pai.
His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 Ti jawaandi den cuo yaaba n ji li kakuli ke bi digibi ki baa ki bibili nani bi tinkpiba yeni.
The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
5 Maleki yeni den yedi bi puoba: Yinba wani n da jie mani, n bani ke yi lingi Jesu ban den joani yua li dapoanpoanli po.
The angel said to the two women, “You should not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was {whom they} (nailed to a cross/crucified).
6 Waa go ye ne, kelima o fii bi tinkpiba siiga nani wan den yedi maama. Cua mani ki la wan den dua naankani,
He is not here! [God] has (caused him to be alive again/raised him [from the dead]), just like [Jesus] told you [would happen!] Come and see the place where his body lay!
7 ki gedi mani tontoni ki ban waani o hoadikaaba ke o fii bi tinkpiba siiga. O ga yi liiga ki caa Galile. Yi baan la o lanpo. N waani yi.
Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead! He will go ahead of you to Galilee [district]. You will see him there.’ [Pay attention to what] I have told you!”
8 Baa ke ti jawaandi den pia bi puoba yeni, bi pala den mani boncianla, ke bi jaligi ki ñani li kakuli kani ki baan pa o hoadikaaba o laabaalo.
So the women left the tomb quickly. They were afraid, but they were [also] very joyful. They ran to tell us disciples [what had happened].
9 Ban den caa ya yogunu, Jesu den tuogi ba ki yedi: N faandi yi. Bi den nagini ki gbaani o nintuali ki cuo o taana ki kpiagi o.
Suddenly, [as they were running], Jesus appeared to them. He said, “Greetings!” The women came close to him. They knelt down and clasped his feet and worshipped him.
10 Jesu den yedi ba: Yin da jie mani, gedi mani ki ban waani n kpiiba ke n gedi Galile, bi baan la nni lanpo,
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go and tell (all my disciples/all those who have been accompanying me) that they should go to Galilee. They will see me there.”
11 Bi puoba yeni n den ye u sanu nni ya yogunu, yaaba n den ji li kakuli siiga bi tianba den kua u dogu nni ki ban togidi bi kopadicianba yudanba yaala n tieni kuli.
While the women were going, some of the soldiers who had been guarding [the tomb] went into the city. They reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
12 Bi yudanba den taani leni bi nikpeliba ki juogi, ki teni a minteela i ligi boncianla,
So the chief priests and Jewish elders met together. They made a plan [to explain why the tomb was empty]. They gave the soldiers a lot of money [as a bribe].
13 ki yedi ba: Yin yedi mani ke o hoadikaaba n cua ku ñiagu ki suni o ke yi goa.
They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
14 Gufeneeli ya bandi, ti baa duani o yama ki teni ke liba kuli kan tieni yi.
If the governor hears [MTY] about this, we ourselves will make sure that he does not get angry [and punish you]. [So you will not have to worry].”
15 A minteela den ga i ligi ki ban tieni nani ban waani ba maama. Laa faama den yadi Jufinba siiga ki baa ye hali dinla.
So the soldiers took the money and did as they were told {as [the chief priests and elders] told them}. And this story has been told {People have told this story} among the Jews to the very day [that I am writing] this.
16 Jesu hoadikaaba, bi piiga n niyendiba yeni, den gedi Galile, Jesu n den waani ba yaa juali po.
[Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
17 Ban den laa o, bi den labini ki kpiagi o. Ama bi tianba yama den lengidi ke baa daani ke li tie wani.
We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
18 Jesu den nagini ki yedi ba: U Tienu puni nni u paalu kuli tanpoli leni ki tinga nni kuli.
Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
19 Lanwani, yin gedi mani ki tieni i nibuoli kuli bi hoadikaaba, ki batisi ba Baa yeli nni, Bijua yeli nni leni U Tienu Fuoma yeli nni, ki bangi ba ban yaa kubi min den yedi yi yaala kuli.
So go, and [using my authority, teach my message to] people of all ethnic groups so that they may become my disciples. Baptize them [to be under the authority of] [MTY] my Father, and of me, his Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
