The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could embalm him.
1
et cum transisset sabbatum Maria Magdalene et Maria Iacobi et Salome emerunt aromata ut venientes unguerent eum
2 Very early on Sunday morning, as the sun rose, they went to the tomb.
2
et valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum orto iam sole
3 They worried out loud to each other, "Who will roll back the stone from the tomb for us?"
3
et dicebant ad invicem quis revolvet nobis lapidem ab ostio monumenti
4 Then they looked up, saw that it had been rolled back - it was a huge stone - and walked right in.
4
et respicientes vident revolutum lapidem erat quippe magnus valde
5 They saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed all in white. They were completely taken aback, astonished
5
et introeuntes in monumento viderunt iuvenem sedentem in dextris coopertum stola candida et obstipuerunt
6 He said, "Don't be afraid. I know you're looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the One they nailed on the cross. He's been raised up; he's here no longer. You can see for yourselves that the place is empty.
6
qui dicit illis nolite expavescere Iesum quaeritis Nazarenum crucifixum surrexit non est hic ecce locus ubi posuerunt eum
7 Now - on your way. Tell his disciples and Peter that he is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You'll see him there, exactly as he said."
7
sed ite et dicite discipulis eius et Petro quia praecedit vos in Galilaeam ibi eum videbitis sicut dixit vobis
8 They got out as fast as they could, beside themselves, their heads swimming. Stunned, they said nothing to anyone.
8
at illae exeuntes fugerunt de monumento invaserat enim eas tremor et pavor et nemini quicquam dixerunt timebant enim
9 [After rising from the dead, Jesus appeared early on Sunday morning to Mary Magdalene, whom he had delivered from seven demons.
9
surgens autem mane prima sabbati apparuit primo Mariae Magdalenae de qua eiecerat septem daemonia
10 She went to his former companions, now weeping and carrying on, and told them.
10
illa vadens nuntiavit his qui cum eo fuerant lugentibus et flentibus
11 They saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed all in white. They were completely taken aback, astonished. When they heard her report that she had seen him alive and well, they didn't believe her.
11
et illi audientes quia viveret et visus esset ab ea non crediderunt
12 Later he appeared, but in a different form, to two of them out walking in the countryside.
12
post haec autem duobus ex eis ambulantibus ostensus est in alia effigie euntibus in villam
13 They went back and told the rest, but they weren't believed either.
13
et illi euntes nuntiaverunt ceteris nec illis crediderunt
14 Still later, as the Eleven were eating supper, he appeared and took them to task most severely for their stubborn unbelief, refusing to believe those who had seen him raised up.
14
novissime recumbentibus illis undecim apparuit et exprobravit incredulitatem illorum et duritiam cordis quia his qui viderant eum resurrexisse non crediderant
15 Then he said, "Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the Message of God's good news to one and all.
15
et dixit eis euntes in mundum universum praedicate evangelium omni creaturae
16 Whoever believes and is baptized is saved; whoever refuses to believe is damned.
16
qui crediderit et baptizatus fuerit salvus erit qui vero non crediderit condemnabitur
17 "These are some of the signs that will accompany believers: They will throw out demons in my name, they will speak in new tongues,
17
signa autem eos qui crediderint haec sequentur in nomine meo daemonia eicient linguis loquentur novis
18 they will take snakes in their hands, they will drink poison and not be hurt, they will lay hands on the sick and make them well."
18
serpentes tollent et si mortiferum quid biberint non eos nocebit super aegrotos manus inponent et bene habebunt
19 Then the Master Jesus, after briefing them, was taken up to heaven, and he sat down beside God in the place of honor.
19
et Dominus quidem postquam locutus est eis adsumptus est in caelum et sedit a dextris Dei
20 And the disciples went everywhere preaching, the Master working right with them, validating the Message with indisputable evidence.]
20
illi autem profecti praedicaverunt ubique Domino cooperante et sermonem confirmante sequentibus signis
