1ʻI 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.
1Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2Pea 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.”
2Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”
3Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Pita, mo e ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, ʻo na hoko atu ki he fonualoto.
3Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.
4Pea na feleleʻi fakataha: pea lī ʻa Pita ʻe he ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, pea tomuʻa hoko ia ki he fonualoto.
4They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
5Pea tulolo ki lalo ia, pea mamata kuo tuku ʻae ʻu kofu ka naʻe ʻikai hū ia ki ai.
5Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.
6Pea haʻu muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Saimone Pita, pea hū ia ki he fonualoto, ʻo mamata kuo tuku ai ʻae ʻu kofu,
6Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,
7Mo e holoholo naʻe faʻu ʻaki hono ʻulu, naʻe ʻikai tuku fakataha mo e ʻu kofu, ka kuo fatufatu, ʻo tuku kehe ia.
7and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
8Pea toki hū atu ʻae ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe fuofua hoko ki he fonualoto, pea mamata ia, pea tui.
8So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.
9He ʻoku teʻeki ai ke nau ʻilo ʻae tohi, kuo totonu ke toetuʻu ia mei he mate.
9For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
10Pea toe ō ʻae ongo ākonga ki hona ʻapi.
10So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
11¶ Ka naʻe tuʻu tangi pe ʻa Mele ʻituʻa fonualoto: pea ʻi heʻene tangi, naʻe tulolo ia ki lalo ke fakaasi ki he fonualoto.
11But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,
12Pea 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.
12and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13Pea 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.”
13They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”
14Pea 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.
14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.
15Pea 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.”
15Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
16Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Mele.” Pea ne tafoki mai, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Lāponi;” ko hono ʻuhinga, “ʻEiki.”
16Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
17Pea 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.”
17Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18Pea 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.
18Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had 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.”
19When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
20Pea 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.
20When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
21Pea toe lea ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu: ʻo hangē ko e fekau au ʻe he Tamai, pea ʻoku pehē ʻeku fekauʻi ʻakimoutolu.
21Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
22Pea hili ʻene lea ni, pea mānava hifo ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Maʻu ʻekimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni:
22When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23Ko 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.”
23If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
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.
24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.
25Ko 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.”
25The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print 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.”
26After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.”
27Pea 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.”
27Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
28Pea leaange ʻa Tōmasi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hoku ʻEiki mo hoku ʻOtua.”
28Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
29Pea 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.”
29Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have 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:
30Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
31Ka 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.
31but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
