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.
Or nella notte del sabato, quando già albeggiava, il primo giorno della settimana, Maria Maddalena e l’altra Maria vennero a visitare il sepolcro.
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.
Ed ecco si fece un gran terremoto; perché un angelo del Signore, sceso dal cielo, si accostò, rotolò la pietra, e vi sedette sopra.
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
Il suo aspetto era come di folgore; e la sua veste, bianca come neve.
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
E per lo spavento che n’ebbero, le guardie tremarono e rimasero come morte.
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).
Ma l’angelo prese a dire alle donne: Voi, non temete; perché io so che cercate Gesù, che è stato crocifisso.
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!
Egli non è qui, poiché è risuscitato come avea detto; venite a vedere il luogo dove giaceva.
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!”
E andate presto a dire a’ suoi discepoli: Egli è risuscitato da’ morti, ed ecco, vi precede in Galilea; quivi lo vedrete. Ecco, ve l’ho detto.
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].
E quelle, andatesene prestamente dal sepolcro con spavento ed allegrezza grande, corsero ad annunziar la cosa a’ suoi discepoli.
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.
Quand’ecco Gesù si fece loro incontro, dicendo: Vi saluto! Ed esse, accostatesi, gli strinsero i piedi e l’adorarono.
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.”
Allora Gesù disse loro: Non temete; andate ad annunziare a’ miei fratelli che vadano in Galilea; là mi vedranno.
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.
Or mentre quelle andavano, ecco alcuni della guardia vennero in città, e riferirono ai capi sacerdoti tutte le cose ch’erano avvenute.
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].
Ed essi, radunatisi con gli anziani, e tenuto consiglio, dettero una forte somma di danaro a’ soldati, dicendo:
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
Dite così: I suoi discepoli vennero di notte e lo rubarono mentre dormivamo.
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].”
E se mai questo viene alle orecchie del governatore, noi lo persuaderemo e vi metteremo fuor di pena.
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.
Ed essi, preso il danaro, fecero secondo le istruzioni ricevute; e quel dire è stato divulgato fra i Giudei, fino al dì d’oggi.
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
Quanto agli undici discepoli, essi andarono in Galilea sul monte che Gesù avea loro designato.
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].
E vedutolo, l’adorarono; alcuni però dubitarono.
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.
E Gesù, accostatosi, parlò loro, dicendo: Ogni potestà m’è stata data in cielo e sulla terra.
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.
Andate dunque, ammaestrate tutti i popoli, battezzandoli nel nome del Padre e del Figliuolo e dello Spirito Santo,
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)
insegnando loro d’osservar tutte quante le cose che v’ho comandate. Ed ecco, io sono con voi tutti i giorni, sino alla fine dell’età presente. (aiōn g165)
