uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

πορευθέντες

/having_been/_gone

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: “having come”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σφραγίσαντες τὸν λίθον

/having/_sealed the stone

Here Matthew means that a seal was put on the stone that covered the entrance of Jesus’ tomb. The seal would break if someone moved the stone, thus indicating that the stone had been moved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make those ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: “having placed a seal on the stone that closed the tomb”

Here Matthew means that the chief priests and Pharisees left the guard at the tomb to help secure it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “and having stationed the guard there”

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

See how you translated guard in 27:65. Alternate translation: “the guards” or “the soldiers who were acting as guards”
