मथिः 28
1 ततः परं विश्रामवारस्य शेषे सप्ताहप्रथमदिनस्य प्रभोते जाते मग्दलीनी मरियम् अन्यमरियम् च श्मशानं द्रष्टुमागता।
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 तदा महान् भूकम्पोऽभवत्; परमेश्वरीयदूतः स्वर्गादवरुह्य श्मशानद्वारात् पाषाणमपसार्य्य तदुपर्य्युपविवेश।
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 तद्वदनं विद्युद्वत् तेजोमयं वसनं हिमशुभ्रञ्च।
His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 तदानीं रक्षिणस्तद्भयात् कम्पिता मृतवद् बभूवः।
The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
5 स दूतो योषितो जगाद, यूयं मा भैष्ट, क्रुशहतयीशुं मृगयध्वे तदहं वेद्मि।
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 सोऽत्र नास्ति, यथावदत् तथोत्थितवान्; एतत् प्रभोः शयनस्थानं पश्यत।
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 तूर्णं गत्वा तच्छिष्यान् इति वदत, स श्मशानाद् उदतिष्ठत्, युष्माकमग्रे गालीलं यास्यति यूयं तत्र तं वीक्षिष्यध्वे, पश्यताहं वार्त्तामिमां युष्मानवादिषं।
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 ततस्ता भयात् महानन्दाञ्च श्मशानात् तूर्णं बहिर्भूय तच्छिष्यान् वार्त्तां वक्तुं धावितवत्यः। किन्तु शिष्यान् वार्त्तां वक्तुं यान्ति, तदा यीशु र्दर्शनं दत्त्वा ता जगाद,
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 युष्माकं कल्याणं भूयात्, ततस्ता आगत्य तत्पादयोः पतित्वा प्रणेमुः।
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 यीशुस्ता अवादीत्, मा बिभीत, यूयं गत्वा मम भ्रातृन् गालीलं यातुं वदत, तत्र ते मां द्रक्ष्यन्ति।
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 स्त्रियो गच्छन्ति, तदा रक्षिणां केचित् पुरं गत्वा यद्यद् घटितं तत्सर्व्वं प्रधानयाजकान् ज्ञापितवन्तः।
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 ते प्राचीनैः समं संसदं कृत्वा मन्त्रयन्तो बहुमुद्राः सेनाभ्यो दत्त्वावदन्,
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 अस्मासु निद्रितेषु तच्छिष्या यामिन्यामागत्य तं हृत्वानयन्, इति यूयं प्रचारयत।
They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
14 यद्येतदधिपतेः श्रोत्रगोचरीभवेत्, तर्हि तं बोधयित्वा युष्मानविष्यामः।
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 ततस्ते मुद्रा गृहीत्वा शिक्षानुरूपं कर्म्म चक्रुः, यिहूदीयानां मध्ये तस्याद्यापि किंवदन्ती विद्यते।
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 एकादश शिष्या यीशुनिरूपितागालीलस्याद्रिं गत्वा
[Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
17 तत्र तं संवीक्ष्य प्रणेमुः, किन्तु केचित् सन्दिग्धवन्तः।
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 यीशुस्तेषां समीपमागत्य व्याहृतवान्, स्वर्गमेदिन्योः सर्व्वाधिपतित्वभारो मय्यर्पित आस्ते।
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 अतो यूयं प्रयाय सर्व्वदेशीयान् शिष्यान् कृत्वा पितुः पुत्रस्य पवित्रस्यात्मनश्च नाम्ना तानवगाहयत; अहं युष्मान् यद्यदादिशं तदपि पालयितुं तानुपादिशत।
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.
