マタイの福音書 28
1 さて安息 日をはりて、一週の初の日のほの明き頃、マグダラのマリヤと他のマリヤと墓を見んとて來りしに、
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 視よ、大なる地震あり、これ主の使、天より降り來りて、かの石を轉し退け、その上に坐したるなり。
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 その状は電光のごとく輝き、その衣は雪のごとく白し。
His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 守の者ども彼を懼れたれば、戰きて死人の如くなりぬ。
The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
5 御使こたへて女たちに言ふ『なんぢら懼るな、我なんぢらが十字架につけられ給ひしイエスを尋ぬるを知る。
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 此處には在さず、その言へる如く甦へり給へり。來りてその置かれ給ひし處を見よ。
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 かつ速かに往きて、その弟子たちに「彼は死人の中より甦へり給へり。視よ、汝らに先だちてガリラヤに往き給ふ、彼處にて謁ゆるを得ん」と告げよ。視よ、汝らに之を告げたり』
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 女たち懼と大なる歡喜とをもて、速かに墓を去り、弟子たちに知らせんとて走りゆく。
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 視よ、イエス彼らに遇ひて『安かれ』と言ひ給ひたれば、進みゆき、御足を抱きて拜す。
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 ここにイエス言ひたまふ『懼るな、往きて我が兄弟たちに、ガリラヤにゆき、彼處にて我を見るべきことを知らせよ』
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 女たちの往きたるとき、視よ、番兵のうちの數人、都にいたり、凡て有りし事どもを祭司長らに告ぐ。
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 祭司長ら、長老らと共に集りて相 議り、兵卒どもに多くの銀を與へて言ふ、
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 『なんぢら言へ「その弟子ら夜きたりて、我らの眠れる間に彼を盜めり」と。
They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
14 この事もし總督に聞えなば、我ら彼を宥めて汝らに憂なからしめん』
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 彼ら銀をとりて言ひ含められたる如くしたれば、此の話ユダヤ人の中にひろまりて、今日に至れり。
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 十 一 弟子たちガリラヤに往きて、イエスの命じ給ひし山にのぼり、
[Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
17 遂に謁えて拜せり。されど疑ふ者もありき。
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 イエス進みきたり、彼らに語りて言ひたまふ『我は天にても地にても一切の權を與へられたり。
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 されば汝ら往きて、もろもろの國人を弟子となし、父と子と聖 靈との名によりてバプテスマを施し、
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.
