1 But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

2 And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

3 And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

4 And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:

5 And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,

7 The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

8 And his words came back into their minds,

9 And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

11 But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.

12 But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

13 And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14 And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.

15 And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

16 But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

17 And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?

18 Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

19 And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

21 But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

22 And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

23 And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

24 And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

25 And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.

26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?

27 And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.

28 And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

29 But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

30 And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

31 And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

32 And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

33 And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

34 And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

35 And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

36 And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

37 But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

38 And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

39 See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

40 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.

41 And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?

42 And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.

43 And before their eyes he took a meal.

44 And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

45 Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.

46 And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;

47 And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

48 You are witnesses of these things.

49 And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.

50 And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.

51 And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.

52 And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.

53 And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.

1 Na i te ra tuatahi o te wiki, i te tino ata po, ka haere mai ratou ki te urupa, me te mau mai i nga mea kakara kua mahia nei e ratou.

2 A rokohanga atu e ratou kua hurihia te kamaka i te urupa.

3 A ka tomo ratou ki roto; kihai i kitea te tinana o te Ariki, o Ihu.

4 Na, i a ratou e pokaikaha ana ki tenei, na, tu ana nga tangata tokorua i o ratou taha, uira tonu nga kakahu.

5 Na, i a ratou e mataku ana, e kupapa iho ana o ratou kanohi ki te whenua, ka mea raua ki a ratou, he aha koutou ka rapu ai i te tangata ora i roto i te hunga mate?

6 Kahore ia i konei, engari kua ara: kia mahara ki tana i mea ai ki a koutou i a ia ano i Kariri,

7 Ki tana meatanga, Kua takoto te tikanga kia tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o te hunga hara, kia ripekatia, a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.

8 Na ka mahara ratou ki ana kupu;

9 A hoki mai ana i te urupa, ka korero i enei mea katoa ki te tekau ma tahi, ki a ratou ko era atu katoa.

10 Na ko Meri Makarini ratou ko Hoana, ko Meri whaea o Hemi, ko o ratou hoa wahine, nga kaikorero i enei mea ki nga apotoro.

11 A ko te ahua o aua kupu ki ta ratou whakaaro he mea tito noa; kihai i whakaponohia e ratou.

12 Katahi ka whakatika a Pita, ka oma ki te urupa: a, ko tona pikonga iho ka kite, ko nga kakahu takai anake e takoto ana; a hoki ana ki tona whare me te miharo ano i roto i a ia ki taua mea i meatia.

13 Na tokorua o ratou e haere ana i taua ra ki tetahi kainga, e ono tekau paronga te matara i Hiruharama, ko Emauha te ingoa.

14 E korerorero ana hoki raua tetahi ki tetahi ki enei mea katoa i meinga.

15 A, i a raua e korerorero ana, e uiui ana ki a raua, na ko Ihu, ko ia tonu, kua whakatata, a haere tahi ana me raua.

16 I puritia hoki o raua kanohi, i kore ai raua e mohio ki a ia.

17 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, he aha enei kupu e korero nei korua ki a korua, i a korua e haere nei? Na ka tu raua, kihai i korikori, me te ahua pouri.

18 Na ka whakahoki tetahi, ko Kereopa te ingoa, ka mea ki a ia, I Hiruharama koe e noho ana, a ko koe anake kahore i mohio ki nga mea kua meinga nei ki reira i enei ra?

19 Ka mea ia ki a raua, Ki ehea mea? Ka mea raua ki a ia, Ki nga mea o Ihu o Nahareta, he poropiti hoki ia, he kaha tana mahi, tana kupu, i te aroaro o te Atua, o te iwi katoa:

20 Ki tona hoatutanga e nga tohunga nui, e o matou rangatira hoki, kia tukua ki te mate, a ripekatia ana ia.

21 I tumanako ano matou ki a ia, mana e whakaora a Iharaira. Na i te taha o enei mea katoa, ko te toru tenei o nga ra i meinga ai enei mea.

22 A miharo noa iho matou ki etahi wahine o matou, i haere i te atatu ki te urupa;

23 Heoi, i te korenga i kitea e ratou tona tinana, ka hoki mai, ka mea, i kitea ano e ratou he putanga anahera, e ki ana mai kei te ora ia.

24 Na ka haere atu etahi o o maua hoa ki te urupa, a rokohanga atu, rite tonu ki ta nga wahine i korero ai: otira kihai ia i kitea.

25 Na ko tana meatanga ki a raua, E te hunga whakaarokore, ngakau puhoi ki te whakapono ki nga mea katoa i korero ai nga poropiti:

26 Kahore ianei i takoto te tikanga kia pa enei mea ki a te Karaiti, kia tomo ia ki tona kororia?

27 Na ka timata ia ki ta Mohi, ki ta nga poropiti katoa, whakaaturia ana ki a raua nga mea mona o nga karaipiture katoa.

28 A ka tata ki te kainga i haere ai raua: na ka ahu atu ia, me te mea e haere tonu ana ia.

29 Na ka tohe raua ki a ia, ka mea, E noho ki a maua: kua ahiahi hoki, kua titaha te ra. Na ka tomo atu ia, ka noho ki a raua.

30 A, i tona nohoanga iho ki a raua ki te kai, ka mau ia ki te taro, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana ki a raua.

31 Na kua kite o raua kanohi, a ka mohio ki a ia; a ngaro whakarere atu ia i a raua.

32 A ka mea raua ki a raua, Kihai koia o taua ngakau i mumura i roto i a taua, i a ia e korero ana ki a taua i te ara, e whakaatu ana i nga karaipiture ki a taua?

33 Na ka whakatika raua i taua haora ano, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama, a rokohanga atu kua huihui te tekau ma tahi me o ratou hoa,

34 E mea ana, Koia rawa ano! kua ara te Ariki, kua puta ki a Haimona.

35 Na ka korerotia e raua nga meatanga i te ara, to raua mohiotanga hoki ki a ia i te whatiwhatinga o te taro.

36 A, i a raua e korero ana i enei mea, na tera ia tu ana i waenganui o ratou, mea ana ki a ratou, Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou.

37 Otira koera ana ratou, wehi ana; i mahara hoki he wairua ta ratou i kite ai.

38 Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka pororaru ai? na te aha hoki i puta ake ai nga whakaaroaronga i roto i o koutou ngakau?

39 Tirohia oku ringa me oku waewae, ko ahau tonu tenei: whawhakia ahau, kia kite ai koutou; kahore hoki o te wairua kikokiko, wheua ranei, penei i oku e kitea mai na e koutou.

40 A, no ka korerotia e ia tenei, ka whakakitea e ia ki a ratou ona ringa me ona waewae.

41 A, i a ratou kahore nei i whakapono i te hari, e miharo ana hoki, ka mea ia ki a ratou, he kai ranei ta koutou kei konei?

42 Na ka hoatu e ratou ki a ia tetahi ika, he mea tunutunu, me te honi.

43 Na ka tango ia, a kainga ana e ia i to ratou aroaro.

44 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko nga kupu enei i korero ai ahau ki a koutou, i ahau ano i a koutou, me whakarite nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi i roto i te ture a Mohi, i nga poropiti, i nga waiata, moku.

45 Katahi ia ka whakamakoha i o ratou hinengaro, kia matau ai ki nga karaipiture,

46 Ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te mea tenei i tuhituhia, ko te tikanga ano tenei, ko te Karaiti kia whakamamaetia, kia ara ano i te hunga mate i te toru o nga ra:

47 Kia kauwhautia hoki te ripeneta me te murunga hara i runga i tona ingoa ki nga tauiwi katoa; ki Hiruharama timata ai.

48 Na ko koutou hei kaiwhakaatu mo enei mea.

49 Nana, maku e tuku ki a koutou te mea i korerotia i mua e toku Matua: otiia e noho koutou ki te pa, ki Hiruharama, kia whiwhi ra ano ki te kaha i runga.

50 Na arahina ana ratou e ia ki waho, ki Petani, na kua ara ona ringa, whakapaingia ana ratou e ia.

51 A, i a ia e whakapai ana i a ratou, ka mawehe atu ia i a ratou, kahakina atu ana ki te rangi.

52 Na ka koropiko ratou ki a ia, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama, he nui hoki te koa:

53 A noho tonu ai ratou i te temepara, me te whakapai ki te Atua. Amine.
