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.
Mme ya re phakela mo mosong wa Tshipi, fa bosigo jwa tshipi boo sa, Marea Magatalena le Maria yo mongwe ba ya kwa phupung.
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.
Ka tshoganetso ga nna thoromo ya lefatshe e kgolo; gonne moengele wa Morena o na a fologa kwa legodimong mme a pitikololela lentswe fa thoko ga phupu mme a nna mo godimo ga lone.
3 His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
Sefatlhogo sa gagwe sa bo se phatsima jaaka logadima, le diaparo tsa gagwe tsa bo di le bosweu jo bo fatlhang.
4 The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
Balebeledi ba roromisiwa ke letshogo fa ba mmona, mme ba idibala mo o neng o ka re ba sule.
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).
Mme moengele a bua le basadi a re, “Se boifeng!” Ke itse gore lo batla Jesu yo o neng a bapotswe,
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!
mme ga a yo fano! Gonne o rudile fela jaaka a boletse. Tsenang lo bone fa mmele wa gagwe o neng o namaletse gone.
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!”
Mme jaanong, itlhaganeleng lo ye go itsise barutwa ba gagwe gore o tsogile mo baswing le gore o ya kwa Galalea go rakana nabo teng. Ke one molaetsa wa me o ke o lo nayang.
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].
Basadi ba akofa ba tloga fa phupung ba tshogile gape ba itumetse thata, mme ba itlhaganelela go batla barutwa go ba bolelela molaetsa wa moengele.
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.
Mme ya re ba santse ba siane, ka tshoganetso Jesu a ba kgatlhantsha! A re, “Dumelang!”. Ba wela fa fatshe fa pele ga gagwe ba mo tshwara dinao ba mo obamela.
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.”
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Se boifeng! Yang go raya bana ba ga Rre lo re ba itlhaganelele kwa Galalea go nkgatlhantsha teng.”
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.
Ya re basadi ba santse ba le mo tseleng e e yang motseng, bangwe ba mapodisi a Tempele ba ba neng ba disitse phupu ba ya kwa baperesiting ba bagolo go ba bolelela se se diragetseng.
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].
Phuthego ya baeteledipele botlhe ba Sejuda ya kuiwa, ga dumalanwa gore mapodisi a rekwe ka madi gore ba re erile ba robetse barutwa ba ga Jesu ba tla bosigo mme ba utswa mmele wa gagwe.
13 They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
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].”
Mme phuthego ya ba solofetsa ya re, “Fa molaodi a ka utlwa ka ga kgang e, re tlaa lo sireletsa mme sengwe le sengwe se tlaa siama.”
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.
Jalo mapodisi a dumalana go rekwa ka madi, mme ba bua se ba neng ba se rutilwe. Polelo ya bone ya anama mo Bajudeng, le gompieno e sa ntse e dumelwa.
16 [Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
Mme barutwa ba ba lesome le motso ba ya Galalea, ba ya thabeng e Jesu a neng a rile ba tlaa mo fitlhela teng.
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].
Mme koo ba feta ba rakana nae mme ba mo obamela; mme bangwe ba bone ba bo ba sa tlhomamise gore a ke ene Jesu tota!
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.
A raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Ke neilwe taolo yotlhe kwa Legodimong le mo lefatshing.
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.
Ke gone tsamayang mme lo dire barutwa mo merafeng yotlhe, lo ba kolobetse mo ineng la ga Rara le la Morwa le la Mowa o o Boitshepo.
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)
Mme ke gone lo rute barutwa ba basha ba go tshegetsa ditaolo tsotlhe tse ke di lo neileng; mme lo tlhomamise Gore ke na le lona ka malatsi otlhe le go ya bokhutlong jwa lefatshe.” (aiōn g165)
