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.
Ary tamin’ ny alin’ ny Sabata, raha vao nazava ratsy ny andro voalohany amin’ ny herinandro, dia avy hizaha ny fasana Maria Magdalena sy ilay Maria anankiray.
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.
Ary, indro, nisy horohorontany mafy; fa nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo nidina avy tany an-danitra, dia nankeo ka nanakodia ny vato, dia nipetraka teo amboniny.
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
Ary ny fijery azy dia tahaka ny helatra, ary ny fitafiany fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala;
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
ary ny mpiambina nivadi-po noho ny fahatahorana azy ka tonga tahaka ny maty.
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).
Ary ny anjely namaly ka nilaza tamin’ ny vehivavy hoe: Aza matahotra ianareo; fa fantatro fa Jesosy, Izay efa nohomboana tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana, no tadiavinareo.
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!
Tsy ato Izy, fa efa nitsangana araka izay nolazainy. Avia, ka jereo, fa tao no nandrian’ ny Tompo.
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!”
Ary mandehana faingana, ka lazao amin’ ny mpianany fa efa nitsangana tamin’ ny maty Izy; ary, indro, mialoha anareo ho any Galilia Izy; any no hahitanareo Azy; indro, efa nilaza taminareo aho.
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].
Dia niala faingana tamin’ ny fasana izy ireo sady natahotra no faly indrindra, dia nihazakazaka hilaza tamin’ ny mpianatra.
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.
Ary, indro, Jesosy nifanena taminy ka nanao hoe: Finaritra. Ary izy ireo nanatona, dia nihazona ny tongony ka niankohoka teo anatrehany.
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.”
Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Aza matahotra; fa mandehana, ka asaovy mankany Galilia ny rahalahiko; fa any no hahitany Ahy.
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.
Ary nony nandeha izy ireo, indreny, ny mpiambina sasany nankany an-tanana ka nilaza tamin’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona ny zavatra rehetra izay vao niseho.
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].
Ary rehefa niangona izy mbamin’ ny loholona, dia niara-nihevitra ka nanome vola be ny miaramila
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
ary nanao hoe: Lazao hoe: Ny mpianany no tonga alina ka nangalatra Azy raha sendra natory izahay;
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].”
ary raha misy milaza izany amin’ ny governora, izahay dia hampanaiky azy ka hanao izay tsy hampaninona anareo.
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.
Dia nandray ny vola izy ka nanao araka ny teny nomeny azy; ary izany teny izany dia naelin’ ny Jiosy mandraka androany.
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
Ary ny mpianatra iraika ambin’ ny folo lahy dia nankany Galilia, ho any amin’ ilay tendrombohitra nasain’ i Jesosy halehany.
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].
Ary nony nahita Azy izy, dia niankohoka, fa ny sasany niahanahana.
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.
Ary Jesosy nanatona dia niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Efa nomena Ahy ny fahefana rehetra any an-danitra sy etỳ an-tany;
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.
koa mandehana ianareo, dia ataovy mpianatra ny firenena rehetra, manao batisa azy ho amin’ ny anaran’ ny Ray sy ny Zanaka ary ny Fanahy Masìna
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)
sady mampianatra azy hitandrina izay rehetra nandidiako anareo; ary, indro, Izaho momba anareo mandrakariva ambara-pahatongan’ ny fahataperan’ izao tontolo izao. (aiōn g165)
