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

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

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

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

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

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

18 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 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 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.

1 And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,

2 and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,

3 and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,

4 and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.

5 And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;

6 he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;

7 and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.`

8 And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;

9 and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!` and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

10 Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.`

11 And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,

12 and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,

13 saying, `Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him -- we being asleep;

14 and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.`

15 And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.

16 And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,

17 and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.

18 And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

19 having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.`
