1 ‌ʻI he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe uike, naʻe haʻu hengihengi ʻa Mele Makitaline ki he fonualoto, ʻi he kei fakapoʻuli, ʻo ne mamata kuo ʻave ʻae maka mei he fonualoto.
Now early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and she saw the stone rolled away from the tomb.
2 Pea lele ia, ʻo haʻu kia Saimone Pita, mo e ākonga ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Kuo nau ʻave ʻae ʻEiki mei he fonualoto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pe kuo nau tuku ki fē ia.”
So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, “They took away the Lord out from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”
3 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Pita, mo e ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, ʻo na hoko atu ki he fonualoto.
Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went to the tomb.
4 Pea na feleleʻi fakataha: pea lī ʻa Pita ʻe he ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, pea tomuʻa hoko ia ki he fonualoto.
They both ran together, and the other disciple quickly ran ahead of Peter and arrived at the tomb first.
5 Pea tulolo ki lalo ia, pea mamata kuo tuku ʻae ʻu kofu ka naʻe ʻikai hū ia ki ai.
Then stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go inside.
6 Pea haʻu muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Saimone Pita, pea hū ia ki he fonualoto, ʻo mamata kuo tuku ai ʻae ʻu kofu,
Simon Peter then arrived after him and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there
7 Mo e holoholo naʻe faʻu ʻaki hono ʻulu, naʻe ʻikai tuku [fakataha ]mo e ʻu kofu, ka kuo fatufatu, ʻo tuku kehe ia.
and the cloth that had been on his head. It was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a place by itself.
8 Pea toki hū atu ʻae ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe fuofua hoko ki he fonualoto, pea mamata ia, pea tui.
Then the other disciple, the one who first arrived at the tomb, also went in, and he saw and believed.
9 He ʻoku teʻeki ai ke nau ʻilo ʻae tohi, kuo totonu ke toetuʻu ia mei he mate.
For until that time they still did not know the scripture that he should rise from the dead.
10 Pea toe ō ʻae ongo ākonga ki hona ʻapi.
So the disciples went back home again.
11 Ka naʻe tuʻu tangi pe ʻa Mele ʻituʻa fonualoto: pea ʻi heʻene tangi, naʻe tulolo ia ki lalo ke [fakaasi ]ki he fonualoto.
But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she stooped down into the tomb.
12 Pea naʻe mamata ia ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko ua ʻoku [kofu ]hinehina, mo nofo, ko e tokotaha ʻi he fofonga, mo e tokotaha ʻi he vaʻe, ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe tokoto ai ʻae sino ʻo Sisu.
She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the foot of where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 Pea naʻa na pehē kiate ia, “Fefine, ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai? Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, Koeʻuhi kuo nau ʻave hoku ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe kuo nau tuku ki fē ia.”
They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they took away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him.”
14 Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, pea tafoki ia ki mui, pea mamata ia kia Sisu ʻoku tuʻu mai, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ko Sisu ia.
When she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “Fefine, ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai? Ko hai ʻoku ke kumi?” Pea ne mahalo ko e tauhi ngoue ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “ʻEiki, kapau kuo ke ʻave ia mei heni, tala mai kiate au pe kuo ke tuku ki fē ia, pea te u ʻave ia.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought that he was the gardener, so she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.”
16 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Mele.” Pea ne tafoki mai, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Lāponi;” ko hono ʻuhinga, “ʻEiki.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned, and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ala kiate au; he ʻoku teʻeki ai te u ʻalu hake ki heʻeku Tamai: ka ke ʻalu ki hoku kāinga, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu, ʻoku ou ʻalu hake ki heʻeku Tamai, mo hoʻomou Tamai; pea ki hoku ʻOtua, mo homou ʻOtua.”
Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I will go up to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.”
18 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mele Makitaline, ʻo fakahā ki he kau ākonga ʻa ʻene mamata ki he ʻEiki, pea kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate ia.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that he had said these things to her.
19 Pea kuo efiafi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ko e ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻi he uike, kuo kātoa ʻae kau ākonga, pea tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā, ʻi [heʻenau ]manavahē ki he kakai Siu, mo e ha ʻa Sisu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi loto, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu.”
When it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of where the disciples were, were closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle of them and said to them, “Peace to you.”
20 Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, naʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate kinautolu hono nima mo hono vakavaka. Pea toki fiefia ʻae kau ākonga ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he ʻEiki.
After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21 Pea toe lea ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu: ʻo hangē ko e fekau au ʻe he Tamai, pea ʻoku pehē ʻeku fekauʻi ʻakimoutolu.
Jesus then said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
22 Pea hili ʻene lea ni, pea mānava hifo ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Maʻu ʻekimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni:
When Jesus had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Ko e angahala ʻoe kakai fulipē te mou fakamolemole, ʻoku fakamolemole ia kiate kinautolu; pea [ko e angahala ]ʻo ia fulipē ʻoku mou tuku pe, ʻoku tuku pe ia.”
Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven; whoever's sins you keep back, they are kept back.”
24 Ka ko Tōmasi, naʻe ui ko Titimasi, ko e tokotaha ʻi he toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he haʻu ʻa Sisu.
Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 Ko ia naʻe tala ai ʻe he kau ākonga niʻihi kiate ia, “Kuo mau mamata ki he ʻEiki.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te u mamata ʻi hono nima ʻae mataʻi faʻo, pea ʻai hoku tuhu ki he mataʻi faʻo, mo velo hoku nima ki hono vakavaka, ʻe ʻikai te u tui.”
The other disciples later said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” He said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe valu, naʻe toe kātoa ʻene kau ākonga, pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Tōmasi: pea tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā, mo e haʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi loto, ʻo ne pehē, “Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu.”
After eight days his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came while the doors were closed, and stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”
27 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kia Tōmasi, “Mafao mai ho tuhu, pea vakai mai ki hoku nima; pea tuku mai ho nima, ʻo velo ia ki hoku vakavaka: pea ʻoua naʻa ke taʻetui, kae tui.”
Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here with your finger and see my hands. Reach here with your hand and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
28 Pea leaange ʻa Tōmasi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hoku ʻEiki mo hoku ʻOtua.”
Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God.”
29 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Tōmasi, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo mamata kiate au, ko ia kuo ke tui ai: ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai mamata, kae tui.”
Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and believed.”
30 Pea naʻe fai moʻoni ʻe Sisu mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga kehekehe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻaia kuo ʻikai tohi ʻi he tohi ni:
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, signs that have not been written in this book,
31 Ka kuo tohi eni, koeʻuhi ke mou tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa Sisu, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ke mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou tui ʻae moʻui ʻi hono huafa.
but these have been written so that you would believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that believing, you would have life in his name.
