1 A , no te pahemotanga o te hapati, ka hokona he mea kakara e Meri Makarini, e Meri whaea o Hemi, e Haromi, kia haere ai ratou ki te whakawahi i a ia.

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

2 N a, i te atatu o te ra tuatahi o te wiki, ka haere ratou ki te urupa i te putanga mai o te ra;

Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

3 K a korero ki a ratou ano, Ko wai ra hei whakataka ma tatou i te kohatu i te kuwaha o te urupa?

They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

4 A , i ta ratou tirohanga ake, ka kite kua hurihia atu te kohatu: he mea nui whakaharahara hoki.

for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

5 A , no ka tomo ratou ki te urupa, ka kite ratou i tetahi taitamariki e noho ana i te taha matau, he kakahu ma tona: na ka koera ratou.

Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.

6 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kaua e koera: e rapu ana koutou i a Ihu o Nahareta i ripekatia: kua ara ia; kahore ia i konei: tena! titiro ki te wahi i whakatakotoria ai ia!

He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him!

7 E ngari haere, korerotia atu ki ana akonga, ki a Pita hoki, kei te haere ia i mua i a koutou ki Kariri: ko reira koutou kite ai i a ia, pera i tana i mea ai ki a koutou.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”

8 N a ka puta atu ratou, a oma ana i te urupa: kua tae mai hoki te tuiri, te koera ki a ratou: kihai rawa i korero ki tetahi tangata; no te mea i wehi ratou.

They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

9 N a, i tona aranga ake i te atatu o te ra tuatahi o te wiki, ka whakakite tuatahi ia ki a Meri Makarini, i peia nei e ia e whitu nga rewera i roto i a ia.

Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

10 N a ka haere tera ka korero ki te hunga i piri ra ki a ia i mua, i a ratou e pouri ana, e tangi ana.

She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

11 A ko ratou i to ratou rongona kei te ora, a kua kitea e ia, kahore i whakapono.

When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

12 N a, i muri iho i enei mea, ka puta ia, he ahua ke tona, ki etahi atu o ratou, tokorua, i a raua e haere ana, e anga ana ki nga whenua.

After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.

13 N a ka haere hoki ena ka korero ki etahi atu o ratou; otira kahore era i whakapono.

They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.

14 M uri iho ka puta ia ki te tekau ma tahi, i a ratou e noho ana ki te kai, a riria iho e ia to ratou whakaponokore, me te pakeke o te ngakau, mo ratou kihai i whakapono ki te hunga i kite nei i a ia kua ara.

Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

15 K a mea ki a ratou, Haere koutou ki te ao katoa, kauwhautia te rongopai ki nga tangata katoa.

He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation.

16 K o ia e whakapono ana, ka oti te iriiri, ka whakaorangia; otira ko te tangata e kore e whakapono, ka whakataua te he ki a ia.

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

17 K a whai tahi hoki enei tohu i te hunga e whakapono ana: ma toku ingoa ratou ka pei rewera ai; ka korerotia ai e ratou nga reo hou;

These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

18 K a tango ake ai ratou i nga nakahi; a ki te inu i tetahi mea whakamate, e kore ratou e ahatia; ka pa o ratou ringa ki nga turoro, a ka ora.

they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 N a, i te mutunga o tana korero ki a ratou, ka tangohia atu te Ariki a Ihu ki te rangi, a noho ana ki te ringa matau o te Atua.

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

20 N a haere ana ratou, kauwhau ana i nga wahi katoa, me te mahi tahi ano te Ariki me ratou, me te whakau i te kupu ki nga tohu e whai ana i muri. Amine.

They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
