Jaona 20
1 Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany amin’ ny herinandro dia nandeha maraina koa mbola maizimaizina hankany amin’ ny fasana Maria Magdalena ka nahita ny vato voaisotra tamin’ ny fasana.
Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], went to the [burial] cave [with some other women]. They saw that the stone had been removed {that someone had removed the stone} from the [entrance to the] cave.
2 Dia nihazakazaka nankany amin’ i Simona Petera sy ilay mpianatra tian’ i Jesosy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Nalain’ olona tao am-pasana ny Tompo, ka tsy fantatray izay nametrahany Azy.
So Mary ran to where Simon Peter and I [were staying in Jerusalem]. She said to us, “They have taken the Lord’s [body] out of the burial cave, and we do not know where they have put it!”
3 Dia nandeha Petera sy ilay mpianatra anankiray ka nankany amin’ ny fasana.
So Peter and I started going to the cave.
4 Ary niara-nihazakazaka izy roa lahy; ary ilay mpianatra anankiray nihazakazaka nihoatra an’ i Petera ka tonga taloha tao amin’ ny fasana.
We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
5 Ary nony niondrika nitsirika izy, dia nahita ny lambam-paty nipetraka teo, nefa tsy niditra tao izy.
I stooped down [at the entrance] and looked inside. I saw the strips of linen cloth lying there [where his body had been laid], but I did not go inside.
6 Ary avy koa Simona Petera nanaraka azy, dia niditra tao am-pasana ka nijery ny lambam-paty nipetraka teo,
Then Simon Peter, who was running behind me, arrived. He went inside the cave. He, too, saw the strips of linen cloth lying there.
7 ary ny mosara izay nafehy ny lohany tsy mba nipetraka teo amin’ ny lambam-paty, fa voavalona mitokana.
He also [saw the] cloth that they had [wrapped] around Jesus’ head. It had been folded and put {Someone had folded it and put it} aside, separate from the linen strips.
8 Ary tamin’ izay dia niditra koa ny mpianatra anankiray izay tonga taloha teo amin’ ny fasana, ary nahita ka nino.
Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
9 Fa tsy mbola fantany ny Soratra Masìna fa tsy maintsy hitsangana amin’ ny maty Jesosy.
Before this happened, we did not understand from [what the prophets had written in] the Scriptures, that he had to become alive again after he died.
10 Dia lasa indray ny mpianatra nody tany aminy.
Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
11 Fa Maria nijanona nitomany teo ivelan’ ny fasana; ary raha nitomany izy, dia niondrika nitsirika ny tao am-pasana
As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
12 ka nahita anjely roa nitafy lamba fotsy nipetraka teo, ny anankiray teo an-doha tamin’ ilay nandrian’ ny fatin’ i Jesosy, ary ny anankiray teo an-tongotra.
She saw two angels in very white [clothing], sitting at the place where Jesus’ body had been laid. One was where his head had been, and the other was where his feet had been.
13 Ary hoy ireo taminy: Ravehivavy, nahoana ianao no mitomany? Dia hoy izy taminy: Satria nalain’ olona ny Tompoko, ka tsy fantatro izay nametrahany Azy.
They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She said to them, “They have taken away [the body of] my Lord, and I do not know where they have put it!”
14 Rehefa nilaza izany izy, dia nitodika ka nahita an’ i Jesosy nitsangana teo, nefa tsy fantany ho Jesosy.
After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Ravehivavy, nahoana ianao no mitomany? iza no tadiavinao? Nataony fa mpiandry saha Izy, ka hoy izy taminy: Tompoko, raha Hianao no naka Azy teto, lazao amiko izay nametrahanao Azy, ary izaho dia haka Azy.
He said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” Thinking that he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken his [body] away, tell me where you have put it. Then I will get it [and bury it properly].”
16 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Ry Maria! Dia nitodika izy ka niteny taminy nanao teny Hebreo hoe: Rabôny! izany hoe: Mpampianatra ô.
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
17 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Aza manendry Ahy; fa tsy mbola niakatra tany amin’ ny Ray Aho; fa mandehana mankany amin’ ny rahalahiko, ka lazao aminy hoe: Miakatra ho any amin’ ny Raiko sy ny Rainareo Aho, ary ho any amin’ Andriamanitro sy Andriamanitrareo.
Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to me, because I have not yet returned to my Father. Go to my disciples and tell them, ‘I am about to return to my Father and your Father, to the one who is my God and your God’.”
18 Dia tonga Maria Magdalena ka nilaza tamin’ ny mpianatra hoe: Efa nahita ny Tompo aho, sady izany teny izany no nolazainy taminy.
So Mary went to where [we] disciples were and told us that she had seen the Lord [alive again]. She also told us what Jesus said that she [should tell us].
19 Ary rehefa harivan’ ilay andro voalohany amin’ ny herinandro, raha voarindrina ny varavaran’ izay niangonan’ ny mpianatra, noho ny fahatahorany ny Jiosy, dia tonga Jesosy ka nitsangana teo afovoany, dia nanao taminy hoe: Fiadanana ho anareo.
On that Sunday evening [we] disciples gathered together. The doors were locked {[We] locked the doors} because we were afraid that [the Jewish leaders] [SYN] [might arrest us. Suddenly] Jesus appeared [miraculously] and stood among us! He said to us, “May God give you [inner] peace!”
20 Ary rehefa nilaza izany Izy, dia nasehony azy ny tànany sy ny lanivoany. Dia faly ny mpianatra, raha nahita ny Tompo.
After he said that, he showed us [the wounds in] his hands and his side. We were very happy when we saw the Lord!
21 Ary hoy indray Jesosy taminy: Fiadanana ho anareo; tahaka ny nanirahan’ ny Ray Ahy no anirahako anareo kosa.
Jesus said to us again, “May God give you peace! Just like [my] Father sent me, now I am sending you [to proclaim my message].”
22 Ary rehefa nilaza izany Izy, dia nanisy fofonaina, ka hoy Izy taminy; Raiso ny Fanahy Masìna;
After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23 na helok’ iza na helok’ iza no avelanareo, dia voavela izany; ary na an’ iza na an’ iza kosa no tsy avelanareo, dia tsy voavela izany.
If you forgive people for their having sinned, [God will already] have forgiven them. If you do not forgive them, [God] has not forgiven them.”
24 Fa Tomasy, anankiray tamin’ ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy, ilay atao hoe Didymo, dia tsy mba teo aminy raha tonga Jesosy.
One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
25 Dia hoy ny mpianatra sasany taminy: Efa nahita ny Tompo izahay. Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha tsy hitako eo amin’ ny tànany ny holatry ny nohomboana, ka ataoko eo amin’ ny holatry ny nohomboana ny rantsan-tanako, ary ataoko eo amin’ ny lanivoany koa ny tanako, dia tsy mba hino aho.
When the rest of us told him that we had seen the Lord, he said to us, “If I do not see the marks of the nails in his hands and put my fingers in the place where the nails were, and put my hands into the place in his side [where the soldier thrust the spear], I will certainly not believe [that he was the one you saw]!”
26 Ary nony afaka havaloana, dia tafangona teo indray ny mpianany, ary teo koa Tomasy. Dia tonga Jesosy, rehefa voarindrina ny varavarana, ka nitsangana teo afovoany, dia nanao hoe: Fiadanana ho anareo.
A week later we were in [the house] again. This time Thomas was with us. Although the doors had been locked {[we] had locked the doors}, Jesus [again] appeared [miraculously] and stood among us. He said, “May God give peace to you!”
27 Ary hoy Izy tamin’ i Tomasy: Atehefo eto ny rantsan’ tananao, ka jereo ny tanako; ary atehefo eto koa ny tananao, ka ataovy amin’ ny lanivoako; ary aza ho isan’ izay tsy mino, fa minoa.
Then he [showed] Thomas [his hands] and said to him, “Put your finger here! Look at [the wounds in] my hands! Reach out your hand and put it in [the wound in] my side! Stop doubting [LIT/DOU]! Instead, believe [that I am alive again]!”
28 Dia namaly Tomasy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko sy Andriamanitro!
Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
29 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Satria nahita Ahy ianao, dia nino; sambatra kosa izay tsy nahita, nefa nino.
Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed [that about me]. But God [is truly] pleased with those who have believed [that about me], even though they have not seen me!”
30 Ary nisy famantarana maro hafa koa nataon’ i Jesosy teo imason’ ny mpianatra, izay tsy voasoratra amin’ ity boky ity;
[We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
31 fa voasoratra izao, mba hinoanareo fa Jesosy no Kristy, Zanak’ Andriamanitra, ary mba hanananareo fiainana amin’ ny anarany, raha mino ianareo.
But these [that I have written about, I] have written about them in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God), and in order that you may have [eternal] life [by trusting] (in him/ in what he [has done for you]) [MTY].
