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.
ⲁ̅ⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ. ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲁⲅⲇⲁⲗⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲧⲕⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ.
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.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲕⲙⲧⲟ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲥⲕⲟⲣⲕⲣ ⲙⲡⲱⲛⲉ. ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ.
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϥⲣⲏϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϥϩⲃⲥⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲭⲓⲱⲛ.
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲧϩⲁⲣⲉϩ. ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
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).
ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ. ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥxⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
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!
ⲋ̅ⲛϥⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ. ⲁⲙⲏⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛϩⲏⲧϥ.
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!”
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ.
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].
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲙϩⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ϩⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲥ.
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.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉ. ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ.
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.”
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲏⲕ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲇⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
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].
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛϩⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁⲩϥⲓⲧϥ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ.
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].”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲡϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲡⲉⲓⲑⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲛⲣⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥϯⲥⲟⲉⲓⲧ ϩⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ.
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
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].
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲇⲓⲥⲇⲁⲍⲉ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
20 Teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember that [by the Spirit] I will be with you always, until the end of [this] age.” (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϩⲟⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ. ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲙⲁⲑⲑⲁⲓⲟⲥ. (aiōn g165)
