Matthew 28
1 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.
Ni cuu cacu asabaci ni bwu ble ni vi u mumla, Maryamu Magadaliya mba Maryamu rima baye ni be'a.
2 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.
U meme ka grji kpukpame don malaika Baci a grji rji ni shulu ye nyi tita'a nda hon son wuu.
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
Nda kpan na rli nzan u nklon ma ka kienkla me to suna (tita lu?).
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
Bi gben ba wrli kpa nda tie sisri nda katie na ba k'ma.
5 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).
Malaika tre ni mba ba andi “Na tie sisri na yi mi toh ndi biye wa yesu wa bana kpanwu'a.
6 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!
Ana he wa na a tash'me towa ana tre'a. Ye toh bubu wa ba ka Baci yo'a.
7 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!”
Hi gbagbla ndi hla ni mrlikohma ba (bi hu'a) A tash me ni khwu. To, a guci yiwu sihi ni Galili Nikii bi toh wu, To mi hla yiwu ye”.
8 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].
Imbaa ba gbla wlu don be'a ni sisri ni briku nda zuzu sihi hla ni mrlikoh ma ba.
9 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.
U Yesu aka nzu tu ni mba nda tre, “mi ciyi!” Imbaa baka vu za ma nda kukhu ni wu.
10 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.”
U Yesu ahlani bawu, “Natie sisri na. Hi hla ni ba mrli vayi mu ba ndu wlu hi ni Galili Nikima ba tome”
11 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.
Wa mba ba ba'si hia, bi gben bari baka hi nimi gbua nda hla ni ninkon u firist ba ikpi wa ba tie a.
12 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].
Wa ninkon u firist ba ba' shubi ni ninkon bi ndji ba sron mu ni tu tre ni ba, ba nnoba gbugbu nklen nji ni soja ba,
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
nda hla bawu, “hla ni mbru ndji 'mrlikoh Yesu baye ni cuu nda y'bi k'mo ma u kie si kruna'
14 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].”
Itre yi nita ri ni gong kie brewu ndi whriewu ndi kpayi cuwo ni ya wa bina tie'a.
15 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.
U soja ba ba'ka kpa nklen nda tie towa ba hla ni bawua Itre yi ka vra shu nimi Yahudawa nda he me ye zizanyi.
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
U mrlikohma wlo don ri ba ba' hi ni Galili ni gblu wa Yesu ana hla bawu ye.
17 We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
Wa ba toh'a ba kukhwu niwu, u bari mba baka tie (shaka?).
18 Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
Yesu a hi ka tre ni ba nda hla “Ba ne ngbengblen wawuu ni shulu u ni meme.
19 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.
Bika hi ndi ka indji bi gbu ba ba wawuu tie mrli koh mu (bihume). Tie batisma bawu nimi nde u tie, ni u vren ni u Tsratsra Brji.
