Jan 20
1 Nan dimanch maten, byen bonè, li pa t' ankò fin jou, Mari, moun Magdala a, al nan kavo a. Li wè yo te wete wòch ki te fèmen bouch kavo a.
On the first day of the week, early in the morning, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been removed.
2 Li kouri, li al jwenn Simon Pyè ansanm ak lòt disip Jezi te renmen an, li di yo: Yo wete Seyè a kote l' te ye nan kavo a. Nou pa konn kote yo mete li.
So she came running to Simon Peter, and to that other disciple who was Jesus’ friend, and said to them, ‘They have taken away the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!’
3 Pyè pati ansanm ak lòt disip la, y' al nan kavo a.
So, Peter started off with that other disciple, and they went to the tomb.
4 Yo t'ap kouri ansanm, men lòt disip la t'ap kouri pi vit pase Pyè. Li rive bò kavo a anvan li.
The two began running together; but the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and reached the tomb first.
5 Li bese pou l' gade anndan an. Li wè bann twal fin yo te fè yon pil atè a. Men, li pa antre.
Stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying there, but did not go in.
6 Lè Simon Pyè rive dèyè l', li antre nan kavo a. Li wè bann twal fin yo anpile atè a
Presently Simon Peter came following behind him, and went into the tomb; and he looked at the linen wrappings lying there,
7 ansanm ak moso twal ki te mare tèt Jezi a. Men, moso twal sa a pa t' menm kote ak bann twal fin yo. Li te vlope apa yon lòt kote.
and the cloth which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up on one side, separately.
8 Se lè sa a, lòt disip ki te rive bò kavo a anvan an antre tou. Li wè, li kwè.
Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and he saw for himself and was convinced.
9 (Disip yo pa t' ankò konprann sa ki te ekri nan Liv la kote yo te di Jezi te gen pou l' te leve soti vivan pami mò yo.)
For they did not then understand the passage of scripture which says that Jesus must rise again from the dead.
10 Apre sa, tou de disip yo tounen lakay yo.
The disciples then returned to their companions.
11 Mari menm te rete deyò toupre kavo a. Li t'ap kriye. Antan l' t'ap kriye konsa, li bese tèt li pou l' gade anndan kavo a.
Meanwhile Mary was standing close outside the tomb, weeping. Still weeping, she leant forward into the tomb,
12 Li wè de zanj Bondye abiye tout an blan, chita kote yo te mete kò Jezi a, yonn nan plas tèt la, lòt la nan plas pye yo.
and perceived two angels clothed in white sitting there, where the body of Jesus had been lying, one where the head and the other where the feet had been.
13 Zanj yo mande li: Madanm, poukisa w'ap kriye konsa? Li reponn yo: Yo wete Seyè mwen an, m' pa konn kote yo mete li.
‘Why are you weeping?’ asked the angels. ‘They have taken my Master away,’ she answered, ‘and I do not know where they have laid him.’
14 Lè l' fin di sa, li vire tèt li, li wè Jezi ki te kanpe la, men li pa t' rekonèt si se te Jezi.
After saying this, she turned round, and looked at Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Jezi mande li: Madanm, poukisa w'ap kriye konsa? Ki moun w'ap chache? Mari menm te kwè se te mèt jaden an. Se poutèt sa li di li: Mèt, si se ou menm ki wete l', di m' ki bò ou mete li. M'a v al pran li.
‘Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ he asked. Supposing him to be the gardener, Mary answered, ‘If it was you, Sir, who carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away myself.’
16 Jezi di li: Mari! Mari vire bò kot Jezi, li di l' an lang ebre: Rabouni (sa vle di: Mèt).
‘Mary!’ said Jesus. She turned round, and exclaimed in Hebrew, ‘Rabboni!’ (or, as we should say, “teacher”).
17 Jezi di li: Pa manyen m'! Mwen poko moute al jwenn Papa mwen. Men, ale jwenn frè m' yo, di yo m'ap moute bò kot Papa m' ki papa nou tou, m'ap moute bò kot Bondye m' ki Bondye nou tou.
‘Do not hold me,’ Jesus said, ‘for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers, and tell them that I am ascending to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God.’
18 Se konsa Mari, moun Magdala a, al di disip yo: Mwen wè Seyè a. Epi li rakonte yo sa Jezi te di li.
Mary of Magdala went and told the disciples that she had seen the Master, and that he had said this to her.
19 Menm jou dimanch sa a, nan aswè, disip yo te reyini nan yon kay. Yo te fèmen pòt yo akle paske yo te pè jwif yo. Jezi vini, li kanpe nan mitan yo, li di yo: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout!
In the evening of the same day – the first day of the week – after the doors of the room, in which the disciples were, had been shut because they were afraid of the religious authorities, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you’;
20 Apre li fin di yo sa, li moutre yo de pla men l' ak bò kòt li. Disip yo pa t' manke kontan lè yo wè Seyè a.
after which he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Master.
21 Jezi di yo ankò: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout! Menm jan Papa a te voye m' lan, se konsa m'ap voye nou tou.
Again Jesus said to them, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me as his messenger, so I am sending you.’
22 Apre pawòl sa yo, li soufle sou yo, li di yo: Resevwa Sentespri.
After saying this, he breathed on them, and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit;
23 Moun n'a padone peche yo, y'a resevwa padon vre. Moun n'a refize padone, yo p'ap resevwa padon.
if you remit anyone’s sins, they have been remitted; and, if you retain them, they have been retained.’
24 Men, twouve Toma, yonn nan douz disip yo ki te rele Jimo, pa t' la avèk yo lè Jezi te vini an.
But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called “The Twin,” was not with them when Jesus came;
25 Lòt disip yo di li: Nou wè Seyè a. Men, Toma reponn yo: Si m' pa wè mak klou yo nan pla men l', si m' pa mete dwèt mwen nan plas kote klou yo te ye a, si m' pa mete men m' nan bò kòt li, mwen p'ap kwè.
so the rest of the disciples said to him, ‘We have seen the Master!’ ‘Unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands,’ he exclaimed, ‘and put my finger into the marks, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.’
26 Yon senmenn apre sa, disip Jezi yo te reyini ankò anndan kay la. Fwa sa a Toma te la avèk yo. Tout pòt yo te fèmen akle. Jezi vini, li kanpe nan mitan yo, li di: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout.
A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. After the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, ‘Peace be with you.’
27 Apre sa li di Toma: Mete dwèt ou isit la. Men. Gade men m' yo. Lonje men ou, mete l' la bò kòt mwen. Wete doutans nan kè ou. Kwè, tande.
Then he said to Thomas, ‘Place your finger here, and look at my hands; and place your hand here, and put it into my side; and do not refuse to believe, but believe.’
28 Toma reponn li: Seyè mwen, Bondye mwen!
And Thomas exclaimed, ‘My Master, and my God!’
29 Jezi di li: Koulye a, se paske ou wè m' kifè ou kwè? benediksyon pou tout moun ki va kwè san yo pa wè mwen!
‘Is it because you have seen me that you have believed?’ said Jesus. ‘Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed!’
30 Jezi te fè anpil lòt mirak ankò devan disip li yo, men nou pa rapòte yo nan liv sa a.
There were many other signs of his mission that Jesus gave in presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book;
31 Tou sa ki ekri nan Liv sa a, mwen ekri yo pou nou ka kwè Jezi se Kris la, Pitit Bondye, pou lè nou kwè a nou ka gen lavi nan li.
but these have been recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God – and that, through your belief in his name, you may have life.
