Sent på sabbaten, da det begynte å lysne mot den første dag i uken, kom Maria Magdalena og den andre Maria for å se graven.

Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.

Og se, det kom et stort jordskjelv; for en Herrens engel steg ned fra himmelen og rullet steinen bort, og satte seg på den.

And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.

Hans utseende var som lynet, og hans klær hvite som snø.

His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:

Vaktmennene skalv av frykt for ham, og ble som døde.

And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.

Men engelen sa til kvinnene: Frykt ikke! Jeg vet at dere leter etter Jesus, som ble korsfestet.

And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.

Han er ikke her, for han er stått opp, slik han sa. Kom og se stedet hvor han lå.

He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.

Gå raskt og fortell hans disipler at han er stått opp fra de døde. Han går foran dere til Galilea, der skal dere se ham. Nå har jeg sagt dere det.

And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.

De forlot graven raskt, fylt av frykt og stor glede, og løp for å gi disiplene beskjed.

And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news.

På veien møtte Jesus dem og sa: Vær glade! De gikk fram, grep føttene hans og tilba ham.

And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.

Da sa Jesus til dem: Frykt ikke! Gå og si til mine brødre at de skal dra til Galilea; der skal de se meg.

Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

Mens de var på vei, kom noen av vaktmennene inn i byen og fortalte øversteprestene alt som hadde skjedd.

Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

Da de hadde samlet seg med de eldste og rådført seg, gav de soldatene en stor sum penger,

And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,

og sa: Si at hans disipler kom om natten og stjal ham mens vi sov.

Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.

Skulle dette komme guvernøren for øre, vil vi forklare det for ham og sørge for at dere slipper straff.

And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.

De tok pengene og gjorde som de ble fortalt. Dette ryktet har vært utbredt blant jødene helt til i dag.

So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

De elleve disiplene gikk til Galilea, til fjellet hvor Jesus hadde sagt at de skulle gå.

But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had given them orders to go.

Da de så ham, tilba de ham, men noen tvilte.

And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.

Jesus kom til dem og sa: Meg er gitt all makt i himmelen og på jorden.

And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Gå derfor og gjør alle folkeslag til disipler, døp dem i Faderens og Sønnens og Den Hellige Ånds navn,

Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

og lær dem å holde alt jeg har befalt dere. Se, jeg er med dere alle dager inntil verdens ende.

Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.
