ባዶው መቃብር

በሰንበትም መጨረሻ መጀመሪያው ቀን ሲነጋ መግደላዊት ማርያምና ሁለተኛይቱ ማርያም መቃብሩን ሊያዩ መጡ። እነሆም፥ የጌታ መልአክ ከሰማይ ስለ ወረደ ታላቅ የምድር መናወጥ ሆነ፤ ቀርቦም ድንጋዩን አንከባሎ በላዩ ተቀመጠ። መልኩም እንደ መብረቅ ልብሱም እንደ በረዶ ነጭ ነበረ። ጠባቆቹም እርሱን ከመፍራት የተነሣ ተናወጡ እንደ ሞቱም ሆኑ። መልአኩም መልሶ ሴቶቹን አላቸው። እናንተስ አትፍሩ የተሰቀለውን ኢየሱስን እንድትሹ አውቃለሁና፤ እንደ ተናገረ ተነሥቶአልና በዚህ የለም፤ የተኛበትን ስፍራ ኑና እዩ። ፈጥናችሁም ሂዱና። ከሙታን ተነሣ፥ እነሆም፥ ወደ ገሊላ ይቀድማችኋል በዚያም ታዩታላችሁ ብላችሁ ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ንገሩአቸው። እነሆም፥ ነገርኋችሁ። በፍርሃትና በታላቅ ደስታም ፈጥነው ከመቃብር ሄዱ፥ ለደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሊያወሩ ሮጡ። እነሆም፥ ኢየሱስ አገኛቸውና። ደስ ይበላችሁ አላቸው። እነርሱም ቀርበው እግሩን ይዘው ሰገዱለት። በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ። አትፍሩ፤ ሄዳችሁ ወደ ገሊላ እንዲሄዱ ለወንድሞቼ ተናገሩ፥ በዚያም ያዩኛል አላቸው።

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 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.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
