1Asi chɔkɔ bimbam nì tsə, a num kinchɔŋɔchɔŋɔ i chɔkɔ bi ninshiŋ i shi wə. Bəkaŋa bə̀ buku dza kinchɔŋɔchɔŋɔ, dzɔ fiaŋsi biə bɔ nì kɛiŋsi jiə ka tsə bəh bi i jum bɛiŋ.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Jɔbi wə bɔ nì tsə buku fɛiŋ, bɔ ti num bə biŋsi bwili təh wə bə nì baŋ dzaka ki jum kiwɔ yɛiŋ.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Asi bɔ liə tsə i jum yiwɔ kintəəŋ nəki yɛiŋ kə wini wi Bah Jisɔs.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Bɔ chiŋ num fɛiŋ alə nəki kiə kə gia yə bɔ kɔ i fə. Yi num a bənyuku bədɔkɔ bəfa nì dzə num kɔmsi i bɔ kpəŋ, num bɔ lɔh bəmbuŋ bə fukuli bɔ ŋwaŋyi alə.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Ndzaŋ kwa bəkaŋa bəwɔ na bəh ŋga, bɔ chuŋsi kifwu kibɔ i kuku. Bənyuku bə̀ bikə i bɔ a, “Akɔ kɔm nə mbɛiŋ nəŋki mi wiwɔm i bəŋkwu kintəəŋ a?As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

6Wi fa kɔkə, wi si dza lɔ i kpi wə. Mbɛiŋ yîŋti gia yə wi nì dzaka i mbɛiŋ jɔbi wə mbɛiŋ bɔ nì kɔ i Galili.He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7Wi nì dzaka a, ‘Mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi bə kaŋaki lə i bi nyâ wi i kaŋ yi bəni bəchu wə, ma bɔ baŋŋ wi i kintasi wə, i buku i kaŋ yitali wə, wi bi fiəni dza i kpi wə.’”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Bɔ ka yiŋti gia yə Jisɔs nì dzaka i bɔ.Then they remembered His words.

9Bɔ dza fiəni i jum yiwɔ bɛiŋ, ka tsə fuku gia yiwɔ yichi i bwa bu bə mbaŋ bə̀ jwɔfi ntsɔ mu bəh bəni bəchi bə̀ bɔ nì biəliki wi.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Bəkaŋa bə̀ bɔ nì fuku gia yiwɔ yichi asi yi nì num i bwa bə ntum bə Jisɔs a nì kɔ, Meli Magdalen, Jɔana bəh Meli nih Jɛm bəh bəkaŋa bədɔkɔ.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Bɔ wɔkɔ ndzaka wiwɔ aka kiyuŋ ki gia, nəki bum kə yi.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Ayakalə, Bita ka dza kɔmsi, yɔkɔ tsə buku fɛiŋ i jum bɛiŋ, ka ŋgwuŋ tsɛiŋ ləkə i jum yiwɔ kintəəŋ ka yɛiŋ shəŋ a bəmbuŋ bə̀ bə nì kii i Jisɔs wə. Wi bə́ fiəni tsə i dzu bəh dzaka ki wɔmni, kɔm gia yə yi num.Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

13A dzə num a i chɔkɔ biwɔ wə, bəni bəfa bədɔkɔ bə̀ bɔ nì biəliki Jisɔs, bɔ nì buku i Jɛlusalɛm nyə ka bə́ tsə i kwili widɔkɔ bə bɔɔŋ a, Ɛmayus, dzəh yiwɔ num aka bəmay nanitaŋ i tsə buku fɛiŋ.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Bɔ nì nyə ka tsəki bɔ dzakayi a bɔ bɔ, kɔm gia yichi yə yi nì num.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Si bɔ nì nyaniki tsəki yakadəiŋ dzakayi, kaiŋyi, Jisɔs mwi kɔmsi dzə i bɔ wə, bəh bɔ bə́ nyaniki tsəki.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Gia yidɔkɔ fə a bɔ ma kîə mi wiwɔ.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Jisɔs ka dza bikə i bɔ a, “Akɔ nə mbɛiŋ nyaniki, dzakayi kɔm yi a?” Si wi bikə yaka, bɔ num bəh nshɛiŋ i shi bibɔ wə.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Mi widɔkɔ i bɔ kintəəŋ yɛli wi num Kleɔfas, bikə i wi a, “Yaka akɔ a wɔ mbɔŋ shəŋ mi wi dzəni i Jɛlusalɛm, wə wɔ kiəki kə gia yə yi num i kaŋ yələ wə a?”One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

19Wi bikə i bɔ a, “Yi naiŋ gia a?” Bɔ chukuli a, “Gia yə yi ni num bəh Jisɔs wi Nasali. Mi wələ nì kɔ mi wi ntum wi Nyɔ, gia yə wi nì fəki bəh yə wi nì dzakaki a nì kɔ yi kaiŋyini. Wi nì kɔ mi wimbum i Nyɔ nshiŋ bəh i bəni bəchi wə.“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

20Bətii mfə gia bəmbum bəh bəni bə̀ bɔ sakaki kikwili kibuku nì nya wi a bə wɔ̂ɔ, bə baŋŋ wi i kintasi wə.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Buku nì kaŋaki lə kiŋkwaka i wi a, akɔ wi wə wi bi təiŋ bəni bə Islae i kaŋ yi ŋgəkə wə. Ayakalə, a tsə a kaŋ yitali si gia yiwɔ num.But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

22Yidɔkɔ chu num a bəkaŋa bədɔkɔ i mbaŋ wibuku wə, bɔ si dzaka i buku gia yi dzaka ki wɔmni, a bɔ si tsə i jum bɛiŋ kinchɔŋɔchɔŋɔ,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23bɔ nəki yɛiŋ kə wini wi Jisɔs wiwɔ. Bɔ ka fiəni dzə fuku i buku a, bɔ si yɛiŋ bəchinda bə Nyɔ aka ndəmsi, bɔ fuku i bɔ a Jisɔs kɔ wiwɔm.but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

24Bəni bədɔkɔ i mbaŋ wibuku wə, si tsə i jum bɛiŋ, ka yɛiŋ yi asi bəkaŋa bə̀ si fuku, ayakalə bɔ nəki yɛiŋ kə wini wi Jisɔs wiwɔ.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Jisɔs dzaka i bɔ a, “Ɔ ɔɔ, biyuŋ biələ, shɔ́m yimbɛiŋ dəki na bəh ŋga i bum gia yə bəni bə ntum bə Nyɔ nì dzakaki.Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Mbɛiŋ kiəki kə a, Kimbwili wə Nyɔ nì kaka a wi kaŋaki i yɛ̂iŋ bəŋgəkə bələ, ka wi lîə i mbum bi wə a?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Jisɔs ka yisi i fukuki baiŋsiki i bɔ gia yichi yə bə nì nyaka i biŋwakti bi Nyɔ wə bichi kɔm wi, bəh i yisi i Muses wə, i tsə buku tə i biə bəni bə ntum bə Nyɔ nì nyaka.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Asi bɔ nì dzə kɔmsi i kwili wə bɔ nì tsəki fɛiŋ, Jisɔs ka fə aka wi tsəki daŋsiki lə.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Bɔ buku tsə, ka tsaki wi nalə a, “Bukumbɛiŋ tsə̂ nɔ̂, kɔm jɔbi kɔ wi tsə nalə, biŋ chu num bi yisi i jiki.” Ayakadəiŋ, wi bum i tsə nɔ bəh bɔ.But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

30Bɔ tsə, i jɔbi wə bɔ nì num i dzi, wi dzɔ chɔkɔ yi blɛd, ka nya kiyɔŋni i Nyɔ, gbɛyi gaa i bɔ.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Akisəkə dzəkəh yibɔ baiŋ, bɔ ka yɛiŋ kiə wi. Ayakalə, wi fiəni laka i bɔ nshiŋ.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Bɔ baaŋ ka dzakayiki a bɔ bɔ a, “Ntə shɔm yibuku wɔ si shiliki alə i jɔbi wə wi si dzakaki i buku wɔ i dzəh, fuku baiŋsi gia i Kiŋwakti ki Nyɔ wə i buku wɔ a?”They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

33Bɔ dza akisəkə a i jɔbi wiwɔ i fijɔbi fiəni chu i Jɛlusalɛm. Si bɔ tsə ka yɛiŋ bwa bə mbaŋ bə Jisɔs bə̀ jwɔfi ntsɔ mu num bɔ juŋni gwu yibɔ di bimu bəh bəni bədɔkɔ bə̀ bɔ nì kɔ bɔ biəli bɔ.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Bɔ dzaka a, “Ŋkɔŋ, Bah wibukumbɛiŋ si dza i kpi wə. Wi si tumbuku i Samɔn nshiŋ.”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Bɔ ka fuku tə i bɔ gia yə yi si num bəh bɔ i dzəh, chu fuku baiŋsi asi bɔ si yɛiŋ kiə wi i jɔbi wə wi si gbɛki blɛd.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Asi bɔ ni kɛiŋki bɔ dzaka yakadəiŋ, Jisɔs wi mwi ka chiŋ tumbuku i bɔ kintəəŋ ka bɔni i bɔ a, “Ma kimbɔiŋni num bəh mbɛiŋ.”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Ndzaŋ kwa bɔ, bɔ bə́ lwa, ka bə́ kwaka a yudɔkɔ bɔ yɛiŋ num ŋkwusa.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Wi bikə i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ lwaki nə? Akɔ kɔm nə wə mbɛiŋ məŋniki mih a?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Mbɛiŋ tsɛ̂iŋ kaŋ yiŋ bəh gvu yiŋ ka mbɛiŋ kîə a, akɔ na mih. Mbɛiŋ mɔ̂myi gwu yiŋ mbɛiŋ ka ni kîə, kɔm ŋkwusa si kaŋa kə nyam yi gwu bəh bikuŋɔ asi mbɛiŋ yɛiŋki mih kaŋa.”Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

40Asi wi dzaka yakadəiŋ, ka chusi kaŋ yi bəh gvu yi i bɔ.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Bɔ tsɛiŋ Jisɔs, kinsaŋli wɔɔ bɔ, bɔ ka chiŋ num alə. Yi gaka bɔ i bum a, akɔ wi. Wi dza bikə i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ kaŋaki lə fiɛŋ fidzini fa a?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Bɔ dzɔ kiŋka ki bwɔkɔ yi waŋni, nya i wi.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Wi dzɔ dzi i bɔ nshiŋ.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Wi ka dzaka i bɔ a, “Gia yələ mbɛiŋ yɛiŋ daiŋ, akɔ gia yə mih nì dzakaki i mbɛiŋ kɔm yi mih kɛiŋ bəmbɛiŋ. Mih nì dzaka a, gia yichi yə bə nì nyaka kɔm mih i kiŋwakti ki Muses wə, bə i biŋwakti bi bəni bə ntum bə Nyɔ wə, bəh i kiŋwakti Kinyaksi wə, kaŋaki i dzə̂ kpɛ̂iŋ.”Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

45Wi ka wɛli mfi bibɔ, bɔ kiə gia yə yi kɔ i Kiŋwakti ki Nyɔ wə.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Wi ka dzaka i bɔ a, “Bə ni nyaka a Kimbwili wə Nyɔ nì kaka kaŋaki lə i yɛ̂iŋ bəŋgəkə i kpî, i kaŋ yitali wə, wi bi fîəni dzâ i kpi wə.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Yi kɔ tə a, bə bi yîsi i kintəəŋ ki Jɛlusalɛm i fûkuki i bitumi bichi kɔm yɛli wi a bəni bəchi kwûni shɔ́m yibɔ ka Nyɔ bi dâlinya chu bibɔ.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Akɔ mbɛiŋ bələ mbɛiŋ kaŋaki i ni fûkuki asi mbɛiŋ nì yɛiŋ yi.You are witnesses of these things.

49Mbɛiŋ wɔ̂kɔli, mih ni chiŋsi lə kinya kə Ba wuŋ nì kaka i mbɛiŋ.

But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

50Wi dzɔ bɔ buku i kwili kintəəŋ, ka tsə bəh bɔ i dzəh yi dəəŋ i kɔmsi i kwili wi Bɛtani wə, wi gəŋsi kaŋ yi i bɛiŋ, jiə kimbɔiŋsi i bɔ wə.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
