Welcome to Salem Church as new members! HARBAUGH S CORNER It is our custom to print the Gospel Lesson for Easter in PA German on the month that Easter falls. This is John 20:1-18 from the Wood Translation: Am erschde Daag vun der Wuch kummt die Maria Magdalena marryets frieh zum Graab, wie s noch dunkel waar, un sie sehnt, ass der Schtee nimmi datt am Graab waar. Noh schpringt sie hie un kummt zum Simon Petrus un em annre Yinger, as Yesus geliebt hot, un saagt ne: Sie hen der Harr aus em Graab fattgenumme, un mer wisse net, wu sie en hiegeduh hen. Der Petrus un der anner Yinger sin nausgange un hen sich uff der Weeg zum Graab gemacht. Sie sin alle zwee gschprunge, awwer der anner Yinger hot schneller schpringe kenne as der Petrus un is zuerscht am Graab aakumme, guckt nei un sehnt die Leinduchbinne datt leie awwer neigange is er net. Datt druff is der Petrus nohkumme, is ins Graab neigange un sehnt die Binne datt leie un s Schweessduch, as sie em um der Kopp gebunne hen, net bei de Binne awwer zammgewickelt amme annre Blatz newedraa. Noh is der anner Yinger, as zuerscht zum Graab kumme is, neigange un hot s gsehne un geglaabt. Sie hen die Schrift noch net verschtanne, ass er vun de Dodde wider uffschteh hot misse. Dann sin die Yinger widder heemgange. Awwer die Maria hot drausse am Graab gschtanne un hot gebrillt. Un iwwerdem hot sie ins Graab neigeguckt un hot zwee Engel in weisse Gleeder datt sitze sehne, der eent zum Kopp un der anner zu de Fiess, wu sie Yesus sei Leichnaam hiegeleegt hen ghat. Die hen re gsaat: Saag, far was brillscht du? Sie saagt ne: Sie hen mei Harr fattgenumme, un ich weess net, wu sie en hiegduh hen. Un wie sie des gsaat hot, hot sie sich rumgedreht un sehnt Yesus datt schteh, awwer sie weess net, ass es Yesus is. Yesus saagt re: Saag, far was brillscht du? Wen suchscht du? Sie denkt, des weer der Gardner un hot em saagt: Harr, wann du en weckgenumme hoscht, saag mer, wu du en hiegeduch hoscht, un ich will en hole. Yesus saagt zu re: Maria. So hot sie sich rumgedreht un hot in Hebraeisch gsaat: Rabonni. Sell meent Meischder. Un Yesus saagt re: Fass mich net aa, weil ich zum Vadder noch net nuffgfaahre bin. Awwer geh zu meine Brieder un saag ne, ich geh nuff zu meim Vadder un zu meim Gott un zu eierm Gott. Die Maria Magdalena geht hie un saagt de Yinger: Ich hab der Harr gsehne, un des is was mer gsaat hot. I hope you enjoy this! Pastor Mark 3
