Matthieu 28
1 Après le sabbat, à l’aube du premier jour de la semaine, Marie de Magdala et l’autre Marie allèrent voir le sépulcre.
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.
2 Et voici, il y eut un grand tremblement de terre; car un ange du Seigneur descendit du ciel, vint rouler la pierre, et s’assit dessus.
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.
3 Son aspect était comme l’éclair, et son vêtement blanc comme la neige.
His appearance was [as bright] [SIM] as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 Les gardes tremblèrent de peur, et devinrent comme morts.
The guards shook because they were very afraid. Then they became [completely motionless], as though they were dead.
5 Mais l’ange prit la parole, et dit aux femmes: Pour vous, ne craignez pas; car je sais que vous cherchez Jésus qui a été crucifié.
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).
6 Il n’est point ici; il est ressuscité, comme il l’avait dit. Venez, voyez le lieu où il était couché,
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!
7 et allez promptement dire à ses disciples qu’il est ressuscité des morts. Et voici, il vous précède en Galilée: c’est là que vous le verrez. Voici, je vous l’ai dit.
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!”
8 Elles s’éloignèrent promptement du sépulcre, avec crainte et avec une grande joie, et elles coururent porter la nouvelle aux disciples.
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].
9 Et voici, Jésus vint à leur rencontre, et dit: Je vous salue. Elles s’approchèrent pour saisir ses pieds, et elles se prosternèrent devant lui.
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.
10 Alors Jésus leur dit: Ne craignez pas; allez dire à mes frères de se rendre en Galilée: c’est là qu’ils me verront.
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.”
11 Pendant qu’elles étaient en chemin, quelques hommes de la garde entrèrent dans la ville, et annoncèrent aux principaux sacrificateurs tout ce qui était arrivé.
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.
12 Ceux-ci, après s’être assemblés avec les anciens et avoir tenu conseil, donnèrent aux soldats une forte somme d’argent,
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].
13 en disant: Dites: Ses disciples sont venus de nuit le dérober, pendant que nous dormions.
They said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole his [body] while we were sleeping.’
14 Et si le gouverneur l’apprend, nous l’apaiserons, et nous vous tirerons de peine.
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].”
15 Les soldats prirent l’argent, et suivirent les instructions qui leur furent données. Et ce bruit s’est répandu parmi les Juifs, jusqu’à ce jour.
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.
16 Les onze disciples allèrent en Galilée, sur la montagne que Jésus leur avait désignée.
[Later we] eleven [disciples] went to Galilee [district]. We went to the mountain where Jesus had told [us] to go.
17 Quand ils le virent, ils se prosternèrent devant lui. Mais quelques-uns eurent des doutes.
We saw him [there] and worshipped him. But some of [us] doubted [that it was really Jesus, and that he had become alive again].
18 Jésus, s’étant approché, leur parla ainsi: Tout pouvoir m’a été donné dans le ciel et sur la terre.
Then Jesus came [close] to [us] and said, “[My Father] has given me all authority over everything and everyone in heaven and on earth.
19 Allez, faites de toutes les nations des disciples, les baptisant au nom du Père, du Fils et du Saint-Esprit,
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.
20 et enseignez-leur à observer tout ce que je vous ai prescrit. Et voici, je suis avec vous tous les jours, jusqu’à la fin du monde. (aiōn g165)
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)
