1 una autem sabbati valde diluculo venerunt ad monumentum portantes quae paraverant aromata
Before dawn on Sunday those women went to the tomb. They took with them the spices that they had prepared [to put on Jesus’ body].
2 et invenerunt lapidem revolutum a monumento
They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
3 et ingressae non invenerunt corpus Domini Iesu
They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
4 et factum est dum mente consternatae essent de isto ecce duo viri steterunt secus illas in veste fulgenti
They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
5 cum timerent autem et declinarent vultum in terram dixerunt ad illas quid quaeritis viventem cum mortuis
The [women] were frightened. As they prostrated themselves on the ground, the two men said to them, “(You should not be seeking someone who is alive in [a place where they bury] dead people!/Why are you seeking in [a place where they bury] dead people someone who is alive?) [RHQ]
6 non est hic sed surrexit recordamini qualiter locutus est vobis cum adhuc in Galilaea esset
He is not here; he has (become alive again/risen from the dead)! Remember that while he was still with you in Galilee [district] he said to you,
7 dicens quia oportet Filium hominis tradi in manus hominum peccatorum et crucifigi et die tertia resurgere
‘[Even though I] am the one who came from heaven, [someone] will enable sinful men to seize [MTY] me. They will [kill me by] nailing me to a cross. But on the third day [after that], I will become alive [again].’”
8 et recordatae sunt verborum eius
The [women] remembered that he had said that.
9 et regressae a monumento nuntiaverunt haec omnia illis undecim et ceteris omnibus
So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
10 erat autem Maria Magdalene et Iohanna et Maria Iacobi et ceterae quae cum eis erant quae dicebant ad apostolos haec
The ones who kept telling those things to the apostles were Mary from Magdala [village], Joanna, Mary who was the mother of James, and the other women [who were] with them.
11 et visa sunt ante illos sicut deliramentum verba ista et non credebant illis
But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
12 Petrus autem surgens cucurrit ad monumentum et procumbens videt linteamina sola posita et abiit secum mirans quod factum fuerat
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb [anyway]. He stooped down [and looked inside]. He saw the linen cloths [in which Jesus’ body had been wrapped]. [The cloths were] by themselves (OR, [He did not see] anything else). So, wondering what had happened, he went home.
13 et ecce duo ex illis ibant ipsa die in castellum quod erat in spatio stadiorum sexaginta ab Hierusalem nomine Emmaus
That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
14 et ipsi loquebantur ad invicem de his omnibus quae acciderant
They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
15 et factum est dum fabularentur et secum quaererent et ipse Iesus adpropinquans ibat cum illis
While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
16 oculi autem illorum tenebantur ne eum agnoscerent
But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
17 et ait ad illos qui sunt hii sermones quos confertis ad invicem ambulantes et estis tristes
[Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
18 et respondens unus cui nomen Cleopas dixit ei tu solus peregrinus es in Hierusalem et non cognovisti quae facta sunt in illa his diebus
One of them, whose name was Cleopas, said, “(You [(sg)] must be the only person who is visiting Jerusalem [for the Passover festival] who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days!/Are you the only person who is visiting Jerusalem [for the Passover festival] who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days?) [RHQ]”
19 quibus ille dixit quae et dixerunt de Iesu Nazareno qui fuit vir propheta potens in opere et sermone coram Deo et omni populo
He said to them, “What events?” They replied, “[The things that happened] to Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth, who was a prophet. Many people saw him [perform] great miracles, and God [enabled him] to teach wonderful [messages]!
20 et quomodo eum tradiderunt summi sacerdotum et principes nostri in damnationem mortis et crucifixerunt eum
But our chief priests and leaders handed him over [to the Roman authorities. The authorities] sentenced him to die, and they killed him by nailing him to a cross.
21 nos autem sperabamus quia ipse esset redempturus Israhel et nunc super haec omnia tertia dies hodie quod haec facta sunt
We [(exc)] were hoping that he was the one who would free [us] Israelites [from our enemies] But [this does not seem possible now, because] three days have [already] passed since that happened.
22 sed et mulieres quaedam ex nostris terruerunt nos quae ante lucem fuerunt ad monumentum
On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
23 et non invento corpore eius venerunt dicentes se etiam visionem angelorum vidisse qui dicunt eum vivere
but Jesus’ body was not there! They came [back] and said that they had seen some angels in a vision. The angels said that he was alive!
24 et abierunt quidam ex nostris ad monumentum et ita invenerunt sicut mulieres dixerunt ipsum vero non viderunt
Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb. They saw that things were exactly as the women had reported. But they did not see [Jesus].”
25 et ipse dixit ad eos o stulti et tardi corde ad credendum in omnibus quae locuti sunt prophetae
He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
26 nonne haec oportuit pati Christum et ita intrare in gloriam suam
([You should certainly have known that] it was necessary that the Messiah should suffer all those things [and die], and then enter his glorious [home in heaven]!/Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer all those things [and die], and then enter his glorious [home in heaven]?) [RHQ]”
27 et incipiens a Mose et omnibus prophetis interpretabatur illis in omnibus scripturis quae de ipso erant
Then he explained to them all the things that [the prophets] had written in the Scriptures about himself. He started with what Moses [MTY] [wrote] and then explained to them what all the [other] prophets [wrote].
28 et adpropinquaverunt castello quo ibant et ipse se finxit longius ire
They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
29 et coegerunt illum dicentes mane nobiscum quoniam advesperascit et inclinata est iam dies et intravit cum illis
but they urged him [to not do that]. They said, “Stay with us [tonight], because it is late in the afternoon and it will soon be dark.” So he went in [the house] to stay with them.
30 et factum est dum recumberet cum illis accepit panem et benedixit ac fregit et porrigebat illis
When they sat down to eat, he took some bread and [asked God to] bless it. He broke it and gave [some pieces] to them.
31 et aperti sunt oculi eorum et cognoverunt eum et ipse evanuit ex oculis eorum
And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
32 et dixerunt ad invicem nonne cor nostrum ardens erat in nobis dum loqueretur in via et aperiret nobis scripturas
The two men said to each other, “[While we were walking] along the road and he talked with us and [enabled] us [(inc)] to understand the Scriptures, we [became so excited that it was as though] [MET] a fire was burning within us [RHQ]! [We should not stay here; we should go tell the others what happened]!”
33 et surgentes eadem hora regressi sunt in Hierusalem et invenerunt congregatos undecim et eos qui cum ipsis erant
So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
34 dicentes quod surrexit Dominus vere et apparuit Simoni
who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
35 et ipsi narrabant quae gesta erant in via et quomodo cognoverunt eum in fractione panis
Then those two [men] told [the others] what had happened [as they were walking] along the road. They also [told them how] they both recognized Jesus as he broke some bread [for them].
36 dum haec autem loquuntur Iesus stetit in medio eorum et dicit eis pax vobis ego sum nolite timere
As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
37 conturbati vero et conterriti existimabant se spiritum videre
They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
38 et dixit eis quid turbati estis et cogitationes ascendunt in corda vestra
He said to them, “(You should not be alarmed!/Why are you alarmed?) [RHQ] And (you should not be doubting [that I am alive]/Jesus!/why are you doubting [that I am alive]/Jesus?) [RHQ]
39 videte manus meas et pedes quia ipse ego sum palpate et videte quia spiritus carnem et ossa non habet sicut me videtis habere
Look at [the wounds in] my hands and my feet! You can touch me and see [my body]. Then you can see that it is really I myself. [You can tell that I am really alive] because ghosts do not have bodies, as you see that I have!”
40 et cum hoc dixisset ostendit eis manus et pedes
After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
41 adhuc autem illis non credentibus et mirantibus prae gaudio dixit habetis hic aliquid quod manducetur
They were joyful and amazed, [but] they still did not believe [that he was really alive] (OR, [that Jesus was the one that they were seeing]). [So] he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 at illi obtulerunt ei partem piscis assi et favum mellis
[So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
43 et cum manducasset coram eis sumens reliquias dedit eis
While they were watching, he took it and ate it.
44 et dixit ad eos haec sunt verba quae locutus sum ad vos cum adhuc essem vobiscum quoniam necesse est impleri omnia quae scripta sunt in lege Mosi et prophetis et psalmis de me
Then he said to them, “[I will repeat] what I told you while I was still with you: Everything that was written about me by Moses and the [other] prophets [MTY] and in the Psalms must be fulfilled!”
45 tunc aperuit illis sensum ut intellegerent scripturas
Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
46 et dixit eis quoniam sic scriptum est et sic oportebat Christum pati et resurgere a mortuis die tertia
He said to them, “This is what they wrote: That the Messiah would suffer [and die], but on the third day after that he would become alive again.
47 et praedicari in nomine eius paenitentiam et remissionem peccatorum in omnes gentes incipientibus ab Hierosolyma
[They] also [wrote that the message] must be preached {[that his disciples] must preach [the message]} [everywhere that people] must turn from their sinful ways for [God] to forgive their sins. [They wrote that his followers should preach that message, claiming] his authority [MTY]. They wrote that they should start [preaching] it in Jerusalem, and then [go and] preach it to all ethnic groups.
48 vos autem estis testes horum
You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.
49 et ego mitto promissum Patris mei in vos vos autem sedete in civitate quoadusque induamini virtutem ex alto
And I want you to know that I will send the [Holy Spirit] [MTY] to you, as my Father promised that [he would do]. But you must stay in this city until God fills you with the power [of his Spirit].”
50 eduxit autem eos foras in Bethaniam et elevatis manibus suis benedixit eis
Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 et factum est dum benediceret illis recessit ab eis et ferebatur in caelum
As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
52 et ipsi adorantes regressi sunt in Hierusalem cum gaudio magno
They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.
53 et erant semper in templo laudantes et benedicentes Deum amen
Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
