Matye 28
1 Lè jou repo a te fin pase, dimanch maten byen bonè, Mari, moun lavil Magdala a, ak lòt Mari a te al vizite kavo
Now on the morning of the Sabbath, when it began to grow light on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher.
2 Yo rete konsa, epi tè a pran tranble byen fò. Yon zanj Bondye desann soti nan syèl la, li vini, li woule wòch la sou kote, lèfini li chita sou li.
And behold, a great earthquake occurred. For an Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and as he approached, he rolled back the stone and sat down on it.
3 Li te klere tankou yon zèklè, rad li te blan kou lanèj.
Now his appearance was like lightning, and his vestment was like snow.
4 Gad yo te sitèlman pè, yo pran tranble, yo tonbe atè tankou moun ki mouri.
Then, out of fear of him, the guards were terrified, and they became like dead men.
5 Men, zanj lan pran pale, li di fanm yo: Nou menm, nou pa bezwen pè. Mwen konnen se Jezi n'ap chache, nonm yo te kloure sou kwa a.
Then the Angel responded by saying to the women: “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified.
6 Enben, li pa isit la. Li leve vivan jan l' te di a. Vini wè kote l' te kouche a.
He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was placed.
7 Apre sa, prese al di disip li yo li leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Li gen tan pran devan yo ale nan peyi Galile. Se la y'a wè li. Se sa m' te gen pou m' di nou.
And then, go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen. And behold, he will precede you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have told you beforehand.”
8 Fanm yo kouri kite kavo a. Yo te pè, men an menm tan tou yo te kontan. Yo t'ap kouri pote nouvèl la bay disip yo.
And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples.
9 Yo rete konsa, yo wè Jezi parèt devan yo, li di yo: Bonjou, medam. Yo pwoche bò kote l', yo kenbe pye l', yo adore li.
And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored him.
10 Jezi di yo: Nou pa bezwen pè. Ale di frè m' yo pou y al nan Galile. Se la y'a wè mwen.
Then Jesus said to them: “Do not be afraid. Go, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall see me.”
11 Antan medam yo te nan wout toujou, nan gad ki t'ap veye kavo a te genyen ki te gen tan tounen lavil la, yo rakonte chèf prèt yo tou sa ki te rive.
And when they had departed, behold, some of the guards went into the city, and they reported to the leaders of the priests all that had happened.
12 Lè sa a, chèf prèt yo reyini ak chèf fanmi yo, yo fè plan yo ansanm. Yo bay sòlda yo yon gwo lajan.
And gathering together with the elders, having taken counsel, they gave an abundant sum of money to the soldiers,
13 Epi yo di yo: Se pou nou di se disip li yo ki te vin vòlò kò a pote ale lannwit antan nou t'ap dòmi.
saying: “Say that his disciples arrived at night and stole him away, while we were sleeping.
14 Si pawòl la tonbe nan zòrèy gouvènè a, n'a konnen ki jan pou n' pale avè l' pou nou menm, gad yo, nou pa nan traka.
And if the procurator hears about this, we will persuade him, and we will protect you.”
15 Sòlda yo pran lajan an, yo fè jan yo te di yo fè l' la. Se konsa, popagann sa a gaye pami jwif yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
Then, having accepted the money, they did as they were instructed. And this word has been spread among the Jews, even to this day.
16 Onz disip yo ale sou ti mòn nan peyi Galile a, kote Jezi te di yo ale a.
Now the eleven disciples went on to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 Lè yo wè l', yo adore li. Men, te gen nan yo ki pa t' fin kwè nèt.
And, seeing him, they worshipped him, but certain ones doubted.
18 Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li di yo konsa: Mwen resevwa tout pouvwa nan syèl la ak sou tè a.
And Jesus, drawing near, spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Ale fè disip pou mwen nan tout nasyon, batize yo nan non Papa a, Pitit la ak Sentespri a.
Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
