Matthew 28
1 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.
Vespere autem sabbati, quæ lucescit in prima sabbati, venit Maria Magdalene, et altera Maria videre sepulchrum.
2 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.
Et ecce terræmotus factus est magnus. Angelus enim Domini descendit de cælo: et accedens revolvit lapidem, et sedebat super eum:
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur: et vestimentum eius sicut nix.
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
Præ timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes, et facti sunt velut mortui.
5 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).
Respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus: Nolite timere vos: scio enim, quod Iesum, qui crucifixus est, quæritis.
6 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!
non est hic: surrexit enim, sicut dixit. venite, et videte locum, ubi positus erat Dominus.
7 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!”
Et cito euntes, dicite discipulis eius quia surrexit: et ecce præcedit vos in Galilæam: ibi eum videbitis. ecce prædixi vobis.
8 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].
Et exierunt cito de monumento cum timore, et gaudio magno, currentes nunciare discipulis eius.
9 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.
Et ecce Iesus occurrit illis, dicens: Avete. Illæ autem accesserunt, et tenuerunt pedes eius, et adoraverunt eum.
10 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.”
Tunc ait illis Iesus: Nolite timere. ite, nunciare fratribus meis ut eant in Galilæam, ibi me videbunt.
11 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.
Quæ cum abiissent, ecce quidam de custodibus venerunt in civitatem, et nunciaverunt principibus sacerdotum omnia, quæ facta fuerant.
12 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].
Et congregati cum senioribus consilio accepto, pecuniam copiosam dederunt militibus,
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
dicentes: Dicite quia discipuli eius nocte venerunt, et furati sunt eum, nobis dormientibus.
14 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].”
Et si hoc auditum fuerit a præside, nos suadebimus ei, et securos vos faciemus.
15 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.
At illi accepta pecunia, fecerunt sicut erant edocti. Et divulgatum est verbum istud apud Iudæos, usque in hodiernum diem.
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
Undecim autem discipuli abierunt in Galilæam in montem, ubi consituerat illis Iesus.
17 We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
Et videntes eum adoraverunt: quidam autem dubitaverunt.
18 Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
Et accedens Iesus locutus est eis, dicens: Data est mihi omnis potestas in cælo, et in terra.
19 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.
euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus sancti:
