Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [picture this] or [suddenly]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας; ἄγγελος γὰρ Κυρίου καταβὰς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ προσελθὼν, ἀπεκύλισε τὸν λίθον καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ
/an/_earthquake became great /an/_angel for ˱of˲_/the/_Lord /having/_come_down from heaven and /having/_approached (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἰδοὺ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας ἄγγελος γὰρ Κυρίου καταβὰς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ προσελθὼν ἀπεκύλισεν τὸν λίθον καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ)
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clause, since the last clauses give the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [an angel of the Lord, having come down from heaven and having approached, rolled away the stone and sat on it. That caused a great earthquake]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προσελθὼν
/having/_approached
Here Matthew implies that the angel approached Jesus’ tomb. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [having approached the tomb]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπεκύλισε τὸν λίθον
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἰδοὺ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας ἄγγελος γὰρ Κυρίου καταβὰς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ προσελθὼν ἀπεκύλισεν τὸν λίθον καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ)
Here Matthew implies that the angel rolled away the large stone from the opening of the tomb to open it.You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [having rolled the stone away from the door of the tomb to open it up]
28:1-10 The discovery of the empty tomb and the various resurrection appearances are presented with different emphases in each of the four Gospels. Matthew focuses on the reunion in Galilee, the attempt on the part of the Jewish leaders to discredit the resurrection, and the significance of the resurrection for the salvation of the world.
