Matthew 28

1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.

1 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الأُسْبُوعِ، بَعْدَ انْتِهَاءِ السَّبْتِ، ذَهَبَتْ مَرْيَمُ الْمَجْدَلِيَّةُ وَمَرْيَمُ الأُخْرَى تَتَفَقَّدَانِ الْقَبْرَ.

2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.

2 فَإِذَا زِلْزَالٌ عَنِيفٌ قَدْ حَدَثَ، لأَنَّ مَلاكاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَجَاءَ فَدَحْرَجَ الْحَجَرَ وَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ.

3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

3 وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُ الْمَلاكِ كَالْبَرْقِ، وَثَوْبُهُ أَبْيَضَ كَالثَّلْجِ.

4 The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.

4 وَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْجُنُودُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَحْرُسُونَ الْقَبْرَ، أَصَابَهُمُ الذُّعْرُ وَصَارُوا كَأَنَّهُمْ مَوْتَى.

5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

5 فَطَمْأَنَ المَلاكُ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ قَائِلاً: «لا تَخَافَا. فَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ إِنَّكُمَا تَبْحَثَانِ عَنْ يَسُوعَ الَّذِي صُلِبَ.

6 He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.

6 إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُنَا، فَقَدْ قَامَ، كَمَا قَالَ. تَعَالَيَا وَانْظُرَا الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي كَانَ مَوْضُوعاً فِيهِ.

7 Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”

7 وَاذْهَبَا بِسُرْعَةٍ وَأَخْبِرَا تَلامِيذَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَهَا هُوَ يَسْبِقُكُمْ إِلَى الْجَلِيلِ، هُنَاكَ تَرَوْنَهُ. هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمَا!»

8 So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.

8 فَانْطَلَقَتِ الْمَرْأَتَانِ مِنَ الْقَبْرِ مُسْرِعَتَيْنِ، وَقَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِمَا خَوْفٌ شَدِيدٌ وَفَرَحٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَرَكَضَتَا إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ تَحْمِلانِ الْبُشْرَى.

9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.

9 وَفِيمَا هُمَا مُنْطَلِقَتَانِ لِتُبَشِّرَا التَّلامِيذَ، إِذَا يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ قَدِ الْتَقَاهُمَا وَقَالَ: «سَلامٌ!» فَتَقَدَّمَتَا وَأَمْسَكَتَا بِقَدَمَيْهِ، وَسَجَدَتَا لَهُ.

10 “Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”

10 فَقَالَ لَهُمَا يَسُوعُ: «لا تَخَافَا! اذْهَبَا قُولا لإِخْوَتِي أَنْ يَذْهَبُوا إِلَى الْجَلِيلِ، وَهُنَاكَ يَرَوْنَنِي!»

11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

11 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَتَانِ ذَاهِبَتَيْنِ، إِذَا بَعْضُ الْحُرَّاسِ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَخْبَرُوا رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ بِكُلِّ مَا جَرَى.

12 And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money

12 فَاجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَتَشَاوَرُوا فِي الأَمْرِ. ثُمَّ رَشَوْا الْجُنُودَ بِمَالٍ كَثِيرٍ،

13 and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’

13 وَقَالُوا لَهُمْ: «قُولُوا: إِنَّ تَلامِيذَهُ جَاءُوا لَيْلاً وَسَرَقُوهُ وَنَحْنُ نَائِمُونَ!

14 If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

14 فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ الْحَاكِمَ، فَإِنَّنَا نُدَافِعُ عَنْكُمْ، فَتَكُونُونَ فِي مَأْمَنٍ مِنْ أَيِّ سُوءٍ».

15 So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.

15 فَأَخَذَ الْجُنُودُ الْمَالَ، وَعَمِلُوا كَمَا لَقَّنُوهُمْ. وَقَدِ انْتَشَرَتْ هَذِهِ الإِشَاعَةُ بَيْنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ.

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.

16 وَأَمَّا التَّلامِيذُ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ، فَذَهَبُوا إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، إِلَى الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ.

17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.

17 فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ، سَجَدُوا لَهُ. وَلَكِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ شَكُّوا،

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

18 فَتَقَدَّمَ يَسُوعُ وَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «دُفِعَ إِليَّ كُلُّ سُلْطَانٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ.

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

19 فَاذْهَبُوا إِذَنْ، وَتَلْمِذُوا جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ، وَعَمِّدُوهُمْ بِاسْمِ الآبِ وَالاِبْنِ وَالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ؛

20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

20 وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِكُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ. وَهَا أَنَا مَعَكُمْ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ إِلَى انْتِهَاءِ الزَّمَانِ!»
