Vangelo secondo Matteo 28

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Sero autem post sabbatum, cum illucesceret in primam sabbati, venitMaria Magdalene et altera Maria videre sepulcrum.	1 After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Marywent to visit the sepulchre.
2 Et ecce terrae motus factusest magnus: angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo et accedens revolvit lapidemet sedebat super eum.	2 And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, cameand rol ed away the stone and sat on it.
3 Erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur, et vestimentumeius candidum sicut nix.	3 His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow.
4 Prae timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes etfacti sunt velut mortui.	4 The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men.
5 Respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus: “ Nolitetimere vos! Scio enim quod Iesum, qui crucifixus est, quaeritis.	5 But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, 'There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you arelooking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 Non est hic:surrexit enim, sicut dixit. Venite, videte locum, ubi positus erat.	6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay,
7 Et citoeuntes dicite discipulis eius: “Surrexit a mortuis et ecce praecedit vos inGalilaeam; ibi eum videbitis”. Ecce dixi vobis ”.	7 then go quickly and tel his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you toGalilee; that is where you wil see him." Look! I have told you.'
8 Et exeuntes cito demonumento cum timore et magno gaudio cucurrerunt nuntiare discipulis eius.	8 Fil ed with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tel his disciples.
9 Et ecce Iesus occurrit illis dicens: “ Avete ”. Illae autem accesserunt ettenuerunt pedes eius et adoraverunt eum.	9 And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. 'Greetings,' he said. And the women came up to himand, clasping his feet, they did him homage.
10 Tunc ait illis Iesus: “ Nolitetimere; ite, nuntiate fratribus meis, ut eant in Galilaeam et ibi me videbunt”.	10 Then Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee;there they wil see me.'
11 Quae cum abiissent, ecce quidam de custodia venerunt in civitatem etnuntiaverunt principibus sacerdotum omnia, quae facta fuerant.	11 Now while they were on their way, some of the guards went off into the city to tell the chief priests althat had happened.
12 Et congregaticum senioribus, consilio accepto, pecuniam copiosam dederunt militibus	12 These held a meeting with the elders and, after some discussion, handed a considerable sum ofmoney to the soldiers
13 dicentes: “ Dicite: “Discipuli eius nocte venerunt et furati sunt eum, nobisdormientibus”.	13 with these instructions, 'This is what you must say, "His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep."
14 Et si hoc auditum fuerit a praeside, nos suadebimus ei etsecuros vos faciemus ”.	14 And should the governor come to hear of this, we undertake to put things right with him ourselvesand to see that you do not get into trouble.'
15 At illi, accepta pecunia, fecerunt, sicut erantdocti. Et divulgatum est verbum istud apud Iudaeos usque in hodiernum diem.	15 So they took the money and carried out their instructions, and to this day that is the story among theJews.
16 Undecim autem discipuli abierunt in Galilaeam, in montem ubi constitueratillis Iesus,	16 Meanwhile the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged tomeet them.
17 et videntes eum adoraverunt; quidam autem dubitaverunt.	17 When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated.
18 Etaccedens Iesus locutus est eis dicens: “ Data est mihi omnis potestas in caeloet in terra.	18 Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given tome.
19 Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes, baptizantes eos in nominePatris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti,	19 Go, therefore, make disciples of al nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Sonand of the Holy Spirit,
20 docentes eos servare omnia, quaecumquemandavi vobis. Et ecce ego vobiscum sum omnibus diebus usque ad consummationemsaeculi ”.	20 and teach them to observe al the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to theend of time.'
