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 kintu zmazAnadvArAt pASANamapasAritaM dRSTvA
They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
3 tAH pravizya prabhO rdEhamaprApya
They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
4 vyAkulA bhavanti Etarhi tEjOmayavastrAnvitau dvau puruSau tAsAM samIpE samupasthitau
They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
5 tasmAttAH zagkAyuktA bhUmAvadhOmukhyasyasthuH| tadA tau tA Ucatu rmRtAnAM madhyE jIvantaM kutO mRgayatha?
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 sOtra nAsti sa udasthAt|
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 pApinAM karESu samarpitEna kruzE hatEna ca manuSyaputrENa tRtIyadivasE zmazAnAdutthAtavyam iti kathAM sa galIli tiSThan yuSmabhyaM kathitavAn tAM smarata|
‘[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 tadA tasya sA kathA tAsAM manaHsu jAtA|
The [women] remembered that he had said that.
9 anantaraM zmazAnAd gatvA tA EkAdazaziSyAdibhyaH sarvvEbhyastAM vArttAM kathayAmAsuH|
So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
10 magdalInImariyam, yOhanA, yAkUbO mAtA mariyam tadanyAH sagginyO yOSitazca prEritEbhya EtAH sarvvA vArttAH kathayAmAsuH
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 kintu tAsAM kathAm anarthakAkhyAnamAtraM buddhvA kOpi na pratyait|
But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
12 tadA pitara utthAya zmazAnAntikaM dadhAva, tatra ca prahvO bhUtvA pArzvaikasthApitaM kEvalaM vastraM dadarza; tasmAdAzcaryyaM manyamAnO yadaghaTata tanmanasi vicArayan pratasthE|
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 tasminnEva dinE dvau ziyyau yirUzAlamazcatuSkrOzAntaritam immAyugrAmaM gacchantau
That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
14 tAsAM ghaTanAnAM kathAmakathayatAM
They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
15 tayOrAlApavicArayOH kAlE yIzurAgatya tAbhyAM saha jagAma
While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
16 kintu yathA tau taM na paricinutastadarthaM tayO rdRSTiH saMruddhA|
But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
17 sa tau pRSTavAn yuvAM viSaNNau kiM vicArayantau gacchathaH?
[Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
18 tatastayOH kliyapAnAmA pratyuvAca yirUzAlamapurE'dhunA yAnyaghaTanta tvaM kEvalavidEzI kiM tadvRttAntaM na jAnAsi?
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]”

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 tam asmAkaM pradhAnayAjakA vicArakAzca kEnApi prakArENa kruzE viddhvA tasya prANAnanAzayan tadIyA ghaTanAH;
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 kintu ya isrAyElIyalOkAn uddhArayiSyati sa EvAyam ityAzAsmAbhiH kRtA|tadyathA tathAstu tasyA ghaTanAyA adya dinatrayaM gataM|
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 adhikantvasmAkaM sagginInAM kiyatstrINAM mukhEbhyO'sambhavavAkyamidaM zrutaM;
On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
23 tAH pratyUSE zmazAnaM gatvA tatra tasya dEham aprApya vyAghuTyEtvA prOktavatyaH svargIsadUtau dRSTAvasmAbhistau cAvAdiSTAM sa jIvitavAn|
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 tatOsmAkaM kaizcit zmazAnamagamyata tE'pi strINAM vAkyAnurUpaM dRSTavantaH kintu taM nApazyan|
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 tadA sa tAvuvAca, hE abOdhau hE bhaviSyadvAdibhiruktavAkyaM pratyEtuM vilambamAnau;
He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
26 EtatsarvvaduHkhaM bhuktvA svabhUtiprAptiH kiM khrISTasya na nyAyyA?
([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 tataH sa mUsAgranthamArabhya sarvvabhaviSyadvAdinAM sarvvazAstrE svasmin likhitAkhyAnAbhiprAyaM bOdhayAmAsa|
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 atha gamyagrAmAbhyarNaM prApya tEnAgrE gamanalakSaNE darzitE
They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
29 tau sAdhayitvAvadatAM sahAvAbhyAM tiSTha dinE gatE sati rAtrirabhUt; tataH sa tAbhyAM sArddhaM sthAtuM gRhaM yayau|
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 pazcAdbhOjanOpavEzakAlE sa pUpaM gRhItvA IzvaraguNAn jagAda tanjca bhaMktvA tAbhyAM dadau|
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 tadA tayO rdRSTau prasannAyAM taM pratyabhijnjatuH kintu sa tayOH sAkSAdantardadhE|
And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
32 tatastau mithObhidhAtum Arabdhavantau gamanakAlE yadA kathAmakathayat zAstrArthanjcabOdhayat tadAvayO rbuddhiH kiM na prAjvalat?
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 tau tatkSaNAdutthAya yirUzAlamapuraM pratyAyayatuH, tatsthAnE ziSyANAm EkAdazAnAM sagginAnjca darzanaM jAtaM|
So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
34 tE prOcuH prabhurudatiSThad iti satyaM zimOnE darzanamadAcca|
who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
35 tataH pathaH sarvvaghaTanAyAH pUpabhanjjanEna tatparicayasya ca sarvvavRttAntaM tau vaktumArEbhAtE|
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 itthaM tE parasparaM vadanti tatkAlE yIzuH svayaM tESAM madhya prOtthaya yuSmAkaM kalyANaM bhUyAd ityuvAca,
As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
37 kintu bhUtaM pazyAma ityanumAya tE samudvivijirE trESuzca|
They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
38 sa uvAca, kutO duHkhitA bhavatha? yuSmAkaM manaHsu sandEha udEti ca kutaH?
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 ESOhaM, mama karau pazyata varaM spRSTvA pazyata, mama yAdRzAni pazyatha tAdRzAni bhUtasya mAMsAsthIni na santi|
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 ityuktvA sa hastapAdAn darzayAmAsa|
After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
41 tE'sambhavaM jnjAtvA sAnandA na pratyayan| tataH sa tAn papraccha, atra yuSmAkaM samIpE khAdyaM kinjcidasti?
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 tatastE kiyaddagdhamatsyaM madhu ca daduH
[So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
43 sa tadAdAya tESAM sAkSAd bubhujE
While they were watching, he took it and ate it.

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 atha tEbhyaH zAstrabOdhAdhikAraM datvAvadat,
Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
46 khrISTEnEtthaM mRtiyAtanA bhOktavyA tRtIyadinE ca zmazAnAdutthAtavyanjcEti lipirasti;
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.

[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 ESu sarvvESu yUyaM sAkSiNaH|
You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.

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 atha sa tAn baithanIyAparyyantaM nItvA hastAvuttOlya AziSa vaktumArEbhE
Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
52 tadA tE taM bhajamAnA mahAnandEna yirUzAlamaM pratyAjagmuH|
They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.

Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
