Matthew 28
1 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.
| ܒܪܡܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܢܓܗ ܚܕ ܒܫܒܐ ܐܬܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܢܚܙܝܢ ܩܒܪܐ |
2 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.
| ܘܗܐ ܙܘܥܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܩܪܒ ܥܓܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝܗ |
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
| ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܘܗ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܩܐ ܘܠܒܘܫܗ ܚܘܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܠܓܐ |
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
| ܘܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܗ ܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܡܝܬܐ |
5 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).
| ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܢܫܐ ܐܢܬܝܢ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܙܕܩܦ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܝܢ |
6 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!
| ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܢܢ ܩܡ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܬܐܝܝܢ ܚܙܝܝܢ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܡܪܢ |
7 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!”
| ܘܙܠܝܢ ܒܥܓܠ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܗܐ ܩܕܡ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܬܡܢ ܬܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܗܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܝܢ |
8 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].
| ܘܐܙܠ ܥܓܠ ܡܢ ܩܒܪܐ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܪܗܛܢ ܕܢܐܡܪܢ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ |
9 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.
| ܘܗܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܦܓܥ ܒܗܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܫܠܡ ܠܟܝܢ ܗܢܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܪܒ ܐܚܕ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܤܓܕܝܢ ܠܗ |
10 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.”
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܢ ܐܠܐ ܙܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܚܝ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܬܡܢ ܢܚܙܘܢܢܝ |
11 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.
| ܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܤܛܘܢܪܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ |
12 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].
| ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܢܤܒܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܝܗܒܘ ܟܤܦܐ ܠܐ ܙܥܘܪ ܠܩܤܛܘܢܪܐ |
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
| ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܬܘ ܓܢܒܘܗܝ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܟܕ ܕܡܟܝܢ ܚܢܢ |
14 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].”
| ܘܐܢ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܗܕܐ ܩܕܡ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܡܦܝܤܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܘܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܨܦܬܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ |
15 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.
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܢܤܒܘ ܟܤܦܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܠܦܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܦܩܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ |
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
| ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܥܤܪ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܘܥܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ |
17 We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
| ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܤܓܕܘ ܠܗ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܠܓܘ ܗܘܘ |
18 Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
| ܘܩܪܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܟܠ ܫܘܠܛܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܒܝ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ |
19 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.
| ܙܠܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܠܡܕܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܘܐܥܡܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܫܡ ܐܒܐ ܘܒܪܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ |
