Men den første dagen i uken, ved daggry, kom de til stedet der hans kropp var blitt lagt, og tok med seg krydderiene de hadde gjort i stand.

But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

Og de så at steinen var rullet bort.

And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

Og de gikk inn, men Herrens Jesu kropp var ikke der.

And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

Mens de var i tvil om dette, så de to menn i skinnende klær ved siden av seg.

And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:

Og mens de bøyde ansiktene mot jorden i frykt, sa disse til dem: Hvorfor leter dere etter den levende blant de døde?

And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

Han er ikke her, han har stått opp igjen: husk hva han sa til dere da han fortsatt var i Galilea, og sa,

He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,

Menneskesønnen skal overgis i menneskers hender, og bli korsfestet, og den tredje dag skal han stå opp igjen.

The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

Og hans ord kom dem i hu.

And his words came back into their minds,

Og de forlot stedet og fortalte om alle disse tingene til de elleve disiplene og alle de andre.

And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

Dette var Maria Magdalena, Johanna og Maria, Jakobs mor, og de andre kvinnene med dem som fortalte dette til apostlene.

Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

Men disse ordene virket som tomme tales, og de trodde ikke på dem.

But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.

Men Peter reiste seg og løp til graven, og da han bøyde seg inn så han kun linklærne, og gikk hjem, full av undring over det som hadde skjedd.

But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

Samme dagen var to av dem på vei til en by som heter Emmaus, som ligger omtrent elleve kilometer fra Jerusalem.

And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

Og de pratet sammen om alt det som hadde hendt.

And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.

Mens de snakket og diskuterte, nærmet Jesus seg selv og gikk med dem.

And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

Men øynene deres ble holdt igjen, så de ikke kunne kjenne ham igjen.

But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

Og han sa til dem: Hva er det dere snakker om mens dere går?

And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?

Den ene, ved navn Kleopas, stanset og så trist på ham og sa: Er du den eneste i Jerusalem som ikke vet hva som har skjedd der i disse dager?

Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

Han spurte dem: Hva da? De svarte: Det som har skjedd med Jesus fra Nasaret, som var en profet, mektig i gjerning og ord, for Gud og hele folket.

And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

Og hvordan yppersteprestene og våre ledere overgav ham til å bli dømt til døden og korsfestet ham.

And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

Men vi håpet at han var den som skulle forløse Israel. Dessuten er det nå den tredje dagen siden alt dette skjedde.

But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

Og det var noen kvinner blant oss som forundret oss, for de gikk tidlig til graven,

And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

og hans kropp var ikke der; de kom og sa at de hadde sett et syn av engler som sa at han lever.

And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

Og noen av dem som var med oss dro til graven, og fant det slik kvinnene hadde sagt, men ham så de ikke.

And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

Og han sa til dem: O, uforstandige og treg til å tro på alt det profetene har sagt!

And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.

Måtte ikke Kristus lide alt dette og så komme inn i sin herlighet?

Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?

Og han forklarte dem alt i Skriftene, fra Moses og alle profetene, om det som gjaldt ham selv.

And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.

Og de nærmet seg byen de skulle til, og han lot som om han ville gå videre.

And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

Men de holdt ham tilbake og sa: Bli hos oss, for det blir kveld, og dagen heller mot slutten. Og han gikk inn og ble hos dem.

But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

Og mens han satt til bords med dem, tok han brødet, velsignet det, brøt det og gav dem.

And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

Da åpnet øynene deres seg, og de kjente ham igjen, men han ble usynlig for dem.

And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

Og de sa til hverandre: Brant ikke hjertene våre i oss mens han snakket med oss på veien og forklarte oss Skriftene?

And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

Og de reiste seg i samme time og vendte tilbake til Jerusalem, hvor de elleve og de som var med dem var samlet.

And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

Og disse sa: Herren er virkelig stått opp igjen, og Simon har sett ham.

And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

Og de fortalte om det som hadde skjedd på veien, og hvordan de kjente ham igjen da han brøt brødet.

And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

Og mens de talte om dette, stod Jesus selv midt iblant dem og sa: Fred være med dere!

And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

Men de ble forferdet og redde, for de trodde de så en ånd.

But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

Og han sa til dem: Hvorfor er dere engstelige, og hvorfor er hjertene deres fulle av tvil?

And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

Se mine hender og mine føtter: det er jeg selv; rør ved meg og se; for en ånd har ikke kjøtt og bein slik dere ser at jeg har.

See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

Og da han hadde sagt dette, lot han dem se sine hender og føtter.

And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.

Og fordi de enda av glede og undring ikke trodde, spurte han dem: Har dere noe å spise her?

And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?

Og de gav ham en bit stekt fisk.

And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.

Og han spiste den foran øynene deres.

And before their eyes he took a meal.

Og han sa til dem: Dette er de ordene jeg talte til dere mens jeg fortsatt var hos dere, at alt det som er skrevet om meg i Moseloven, profetene og salmene, måtte bli oppfylt.

And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

Så åpnet han deres sinn, så de kunne forstå Skriftene.

Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.

Og han sa til dem: Således står det skrevet, at Kristus skulle lide og stå opp fra de døde den tredje dag;

And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;

og at omvendelse og syndenes forlatelse skal forkynnes i hans navn for alle folkeslag, med begynnelse i Jerusalem.

And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

Dere er vitner om disse tingene.

You are witnesses of these things.

Og se, jeg sender min Fars løfte over dere; men bli i byen til dere blir ikledd kraft fra det høye.

And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.

Og han førte dem ut så langt som til Betania, og løftet hendene og velsignet dem.

And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.

Og mens han velsignet dem, ble han tatt opp til himmelen.

And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.

Og de tilba ham og vendte tilbake til Jerusalem med stor glede.

And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.

Og de var stadig i templet og hyllet Gud.

And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.
