1 N ow after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

I te mutunga o te hapati i te mea ka tata tonu te puao te ra tuatahi o te wiki, ka haere a Meri Makarini me tera Meri kia kite i te tanumanga.

2 B ehold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.

Na he nui te ru i puta mai: i heke iho hoki tetahi anahera a te Ariki i te rangi, a haere ana, whakataka atu ana e ia te kohatu i te kuwaha, a noho ana i runga.

3 H is appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

Ko tona ahua me te mea he uira, ma tonu tona kakahu ano he hukarere:

4 F or fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

A wiri noa iho nga kaitiaki i te wehi ki a ia, ka rite ki te tupapaku.

5 T he angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

Na ka oho te anahera, ka mea ki nga wahine, Kei wehi korua: e matau ana hoki ahau, e rapu ana korua i a Ihu i ripekatia.

6 H e is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

Kahore ia i konei: kua ara ke, kua pera me tana i mea ai. Haere mai kia kite i te wahi i takoto ai te Ariki.

7 G o quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”

A hohoro te haere, korerotia ki ana akonga, kua ara ia i te hunga mate: tena ia te haere na i mua i a koutou ki Kariri; ko reira koutou kite ai i a ia: na kua korero nei ahau ki a korua.

8 T hey departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

A hohoro tonu ta raua haere atu i te urupa, me te wehi, me te harakoa nui, a oma ana ki te korero ki ana akonga.

9 A s they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

Na ka tutaki a Ihu ki a raua, ka mea mai, E ia ma. Na ka haere atu raua, ka pupuri i ona waewae, ka koropiko ki a ia.

10 T hen Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki a raua, Aua e wehi: haere, ki atu ki oku teina kia haere ki Kariri, ko reira hoki ratou kite ai i ahau.

11 N ow while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

A, i a raua e haere ana, na kua tae etahi o nga kaitiaki ki te pa, kua korero ki nga tohunga nui i nga mea katoa i meatia.

12 W hen they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

Na, ka mutu ta ratou huihui ko nga kaumatua a ka runanga, ka hoatu e ratou he moni nui ki nga hoia,

13 s aying, “Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

Ka mea atu, Me ki e koutou, I haere ana akonga i te po, a tahaetia ana ia, i a matou e moe ana.

14 I f this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

A, ki te tae te rongo o tenei ki te kawana, ma matou ia e whakamarie, a kahore he manukanuka mo koutou.

15 S o they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

Na ka tango ratou i nga moni, a meinga ana nga mea i akona ai ratou: heoi kei te korerotia tenei e nga Hurai, a taea noatia tenei ra.

16 B ut the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

Na ka haere nga akonga tekau ma tahi ki Kariri, ki te maunga i whakaritea e Ihu ki a ratou.

17 W hen they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.

A, i to ratou kitenga i a ia, ka koropiko ki a ia: ko etahi ia i ruarua.

18 J esus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Na ka haere mai a Ihu, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Kua tukua katoatia mai ki ahau te mana i te rangi, a i runga i te whenua.

19 G o, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Na reira haere, meinga hei akonga nga iwi katoa, iriiria i runga i te ingoa o te Matua, o te Tama, o te Wairua tapu:

20 t eaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Akona ratou kia mau ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koutou: na, ko ahau tena hei hoa mo koutou i nga ra katoa, a te mutunga ra ano o te ao. Amine.
