Matthai 28
1 Sabbath poeng kah Sabbath aka paan cuek mincang vaengah Magadala Mary neh a tloe Mary te hlan hip hamla ha pawk uh.
After (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) [ended], on Sunday morning at dawn, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 Te vaengah lingluei a tloh la hlawt hinghuen. Boeipa kah puencawn loh vaan lamkah ha rhum dongah lungto te a paan tih a paluet phoeiah a ngol thil.
Suddenly there was a strong earthquake. [At the same time] an angel from God came down from heaven. He [went to the tomb and] rolled the stone away [from the entrance so that everyone could see that the tomb was empty]. Then he sat on the stone.
3 A mueisa tah khophaa bangla om tih a himbai te khaw vuelsong bangla bok.
His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 Te vaengah aka tawt rhoek loh a rhihnah neh thuen uh tih duek rhok bangla om uh.
The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
5 Te vaengah puencawn loh huta rhoi te a doo tih, “Nangmih rhoi loh rhih boeh, a tai uh tangtae Jesuh na toem rhoi te ka ming.
The angel said to the two women, “You should not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was {whom they} (nailed to a cross/crucified).
6 He rhoek ah a om moenih, a thui bangla thoo coeng. Halo lamtah a yalh nah hmuen te so rhoi lah,” a ti nah.
He is not here! [God] has (caused him to be alive again/raised him [from the dead]), just like [Jesus] told you [would happen!] Come and see the place where his body lay!
7 Te phoeiah koe cet lamtah a hnukbang rhoek te, 'Duek lamloh a thoh coeng te thui pah. Nangmih lakah Galilee la lamhma phai coeng ke, te rhoek ah amah na hmuh uh bitni. Nangmih taengah kan thui coeng he,” a ti nah.
Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead! He will go ahead of you to Galilee [district]. You will see him there.’ [Pay attention to what] I have told you!”
8 Te dongah hlan lamloh rhihnah neh tatloe la cet uh. Te phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek taengah puen hamla omngaihnah neh muep yong uh.
So the women left the tomb quickly. They were afraid, but they were [also] very joyful. They ran to tell us disciples [what had happened].
9 Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te pakcak a doe tih, “Omngaih uh lah,” a ti nah. Amih long khaw a paan uh tih a kho te a kop uh tih a bawk uh.
Suddenly, [as they were running], Jesus appeared to them. He said, “Greetings!” The women came close to him. They knelt down and clasped his feet and worshipped him.
10 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh amih te, “Rhih uh boeh, cet uh lamtah ka manuca rhoek taengah puen uh. Galilee la ana cet uh saeh lamtah kai m'hmuh uh bitni,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go and tell (all my disciples/all those who have been accompanying me) that they should go to Galilee. They will see me there.”
11 Amih rhoek te a mael uh vaengah rhaltawt a ngen te khopuei khuila pakcak pawk uh tih aka thoeng boeih te khosoihham rhoek taengah puen uh.
While the women were going, some of the soldiers who had been guarding [the tomb] went into the city. They reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
12 Te vaengah a ham rhoek te tingtun uh tih dawtletnah a khuehuh. Tangka a khuen uh khungdaeng tih rhalkap rhoek te a paek uh.
So the chief priests and Jewish elders met together. They made a plan [to explain why the tomb was empty]. They gave the soldiers a lot of money [as a bribe].
13 Te phoeiah, “Khoyin ka ih vaengah a hnukbang ha pawk tih a huen uh, 'ti uh ne.
They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
14 Te te khoboei taengla a yaak atah, anih te kaimih loh ka hloih uh vetih nangmih te bidip la kan khueh uh bitni,” a ti na uh.
If the governor hears [MTY] about this, we ourselves will make sure that he does not get angry [and punish you]. [So you will not have to worry].”
15 Te dongah te rhoek loh tangka te a doe uh tih a thuituen bangla a saii uh. Te dongah tekah ol tah tihnin khohnin duela Judah rhoek taengah a thui.
So the soldiers took the money and did as they were told {as [the chief priests and elders] told them}. And this story has been told {People have told this story} among the Jews to the very day [that I am writing] this.
16 Te phoeiah hnukbang hlaikhat tah Jesuh loh amih a uen nah Galilee kah tlang la cet uh.
[Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
17 Amah te a hmuh uh tih a bawk uh dae hlangvang loh a uepvawt uh.
We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
18 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a paan tih amih te a voek. Te vaengah, “Diklai hman neh vaan ah saithainah boeih tah kai taengah m'paek coeng.
Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
19 Te dongah cet uh lamtah namtom boeih te ham bang sakuh. Amih te Pa, Capa, Cim Mueihla kah ming neh nuem uh.
So go, and [using my authority, teach my message to] people of all ethnic groups so that they may become my disciples. Baptize them [to be under the authority of] [MTY] my Father, and of me, his Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
20 Nangmih kang uen boeih te tuem sak ham amih te thuituen uh. Kai khaw nangmih taengah kumhal kah a bawtnah duela hnin takuem ka om coeng he,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
Teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember that [by the Spirit] I will be with you always, until the end of [this] age.” (aiōn g165)
