Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 28

1. Sero autem post sabbatum, cum illucesceret in primam sabbati, venit Maria Magdalene et altera Maria videre sepulcrum.

1. Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre.

2. Et ecce terrae motus factus est magnus: angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo et accedens revolvit lapidem et sedebat super eum.

2. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

3. Erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur, et vestimentum eius candidum sicut nix.

3. His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.

4. Prae timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes et facti sunt velut mortui.

4. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.

5. Respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus: “Nolite timere vos! Scio enim quod Iesum, qui crucifixus est, quaeritis.

5. But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

6. Non est hic: surrexit enim, sicut dixit. Venite, videte locum, ubi positus erat.

6. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

7. Et cito euntes dicite discipulis eius: “Surrexit a mortuis et ecce praecedit vos in Galilaeam; ibi eum videbitis”. Ecce dixi vobis”.

7. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you."

8. Et exeuntes cito de monumento cum timore et magno gaudio cucurrerunt nuntiare discipulis eius.

8. So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

9. Et ecce Iesus occurrit illis dicens: “Avete”. Illae autem accesserunt et tenuerunt pedes eius et adoraverunt eum.

9. And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

10. Tunc ait illis Iesus: “Nolite timere; ite, nuntiate fratribus meis, ut eant in Galilaeam et ibi me videbunt”.

10. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

11. Quae cum abiissent, ecce quidam de custodia venerunt in civitatem et nuntiaverunt principibus sacerdotum omnia, quae facta fuerant.

11. While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.

12. Et congregati cum senioribus, consilio accepto, pecuniam copiosam dederunt militibus

12. And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers

13. dicentes: “Dicite: “Discipuli eius nocte venerunt et furati sunt eum, nobis dormientibus”.

13. and said, "Tell people, `His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'

14. Et si hoc auditum fuerit a praeside, nos suadebimus ei et securos vos faciemus”.

14. And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

15. At illi, accepta pecunia, fecerunt, sicut erant docti. Et divulgatum est verbum istud apud Iudaeos usque in hodiernum diem.

15. So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

16. Undecim autem discipuli abierunt in Galilaeam, in montem ubi constituerat illis Iesus,

16. Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.

17. et videntes eum adoraverunt; quidam autem dubitaverunt.

17. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.

18. Et accedens Iesus locutus est eis dicens: “Data est mihi omnis potestas in caelo et in terra.

18. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19. Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes, baptizantes eos in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti,

19. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the 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”.

20. teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
