Mattheum 28
1 Vespere autem sabbati, quae lucescit in prima sabbati, venit Maria Magdalene, et altera Maria videre sepulchrum.
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 Et ecce terraemotus factus est magnus. Angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo: et accedens revolvit lapidem, et sedebat super eum:
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 erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur: et vestimenta eius sicut nix.
His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 Prae timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes, et facti sunt velut mortui.
The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
5 Respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus: Nolite timere vos: scio enim, quod Iesum, qui crucifixus est, quaeritis.
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 non est hic: surrexit enim, sicut dixit. venite, et videte locum, ubi positus erat Dominus.
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 Et cito euntes, dicite discipulis eius quia surrexit: et ecce praecedet vos in Galilaeam: ibi eum videbitis. ecce praedixi vobis.
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 Et exierunt cito de monumento cum timore, et gaudio magno, currentes nunciare discipulis eius.
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 Et ecce Iesus occurrit illis, dicens: Avete. Illae autem accesserunt, et tenuerunt pedes eius, et adoraverunt eum.
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 Tunc ait illis Iesus: Nolite timere. ite, nunciare fratribus meis ut eant in Galilaeam, ibi me videbunt.
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 Quae cum abiissent, ecce quidam de custodibus venerunt in civitatem, et nunciaverunt principibus sacerdotum omnia, quae facta fuerant.
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 Et congregati cum senioribus consilio accepto, pecuniam copiosam dederunt militibus,
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 dicentes: Dicite quia discipuli eius nocte venerunt, et furati sunt eum, nobis dormientibus.
They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
14 Et si hoc auditum fuerit a praeside, nos suadebimus ei, et securos vos faciemus.
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 At illi accepta pecunia, fecerunt sicut erant edocti. Et divulgatum est verbum istud apud Iudaeos, usque in hodiernum diem.
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 Undecim autem discipuli abierunt in Galilaeam in montem, ubi constituerat illis Iesus.
[Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
17 Et videntes eum adoraverunt: quidam autem dubitaverunt.
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 Et accedens Iesus locutus est eis, dicens: Data est mihi omnis potestas in caelo, et in terra.
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 euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus sancti:
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 docentes eos servare omnia quaecumque mandavi vobis: et ecce ego vobiscum sum omnibus diebus, usque ad consummationem saeculi. (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)
