Luke 24 (DOV) · Opened

1Chifumofumo mubuzuba bwakusanguna bwamvwiki, bakasika kukabanda, kabeeta tununkilizyo tubakali babamba.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Bakajana bbwe lilitontedwe kuzwa kukabanda.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Bakanjila mukati, pesi tebakawujana pe mutunta wa Mwami Jesubut when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Zyakachitika kuti, aawo kabachigambide aatala azeezi, mpawaawo, kwakiimikila baalumi babili kumbali lyabo kabazwete zisamo zibayima.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Aawo banakazi nibakazula kuyoowa bakafundamika busyu bwabo, bakati kubanakazi, “Muyandwiidanzi bapona kubafu.”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?

6Tawo pe aano, pesi wabusigwa! Amuyeeye mbakaambula kulindinywe naakachili ku Galili,He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7kati Mwana wa Muntu weelede apedwe kumaanza abasizibi akabambulwe, mpawo mubuzuba bwatatu akabuke lubo.”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Banakazi bakayeeya majwi aakwe,Then they remembered His words.

9bakeenda kuzwa kukabanda bakwaambila zyoonse eezi kulibalikumi awumwi abamwi boonse.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Lino Meli Magadalena, Jowana, Meli banyina a Jemusi abamwi banakazi mbibakali aabo, bakakwaamba zintu eezi kubatumwa.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Pesi majwi aaya akabaanga ngakubeja nibakaamvwabatumwa, tebakabasyoma pe banakazi.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Mpawo Pita wakanyampkuka wachijaanina kuchuumbwe, wakakotama kalikuyuna mukati wakabona micheka kiili ayilikke, wakabula kuti niinzi chachitika.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.

13Amulange babili babo bakalikuyabweenda buzuba mbuboobo kabatozya kugunzi litegwa Emawusi, lyakali kasinzo kuzwa ku Jelusalema.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Bakalikuyabuzuwa aatala azintu zyakachitika.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Zyakachitika kuti, kabachiyabuzuwa akubuzisisyania, Jesu lwakwe wakabeezya weenda aabo.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Pesi menso aabo akaksigwa kuti bamuzibe.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Nobabili niinzi nchimuyobwaambula nimuyobweenda awa?” Bakayimikila kabali amawuse.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Umwi wabo uutegwa Kiliyopasi, wakamusandula, “Te nduwe olike mu Jelusalem uutazi zintu zyalikuchitika mumo mazuba aaya?”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?”

19Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Zintu nzi eezyo?” Bakamusandula bati, “Zintu zili aatala a Jesu muna Nazaleta, wakali musinsimi, wakali aanguzu kunchito akujwi kunembo lya Leza akubantu boonse.“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.

20Ambubakamupeda bapayizi bapati abatongi besu kuti apegwe mulandu wakujiigwa.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Pesi ytwakali twasyoma kuti nguwe uutakaangunune Izilayeli. Iyii, kunze kwazyo zyoonse eezi, kwaba mazuba aatatu zintu zyoonse eezi kazichitikide.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.

22Pesi kakuliboobo, bamwi banakazi mbituyabweenda aabo batugambya, nibalikuchibuda chifumo.Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23Nibakuubula mutunta wakwe, bakuboola, kabaamba kuti babona chilengano chabangelo babili balikubaambila kuti wabuka.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.

24Bamwi lubo baalumi mbituli aabo bachijaanina kuchibunda bakujana mbubo mbuli mbubaamba banakazi. Pesi tabamubwene pe.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Nywebo nobaalumi bafubafuba animuli aamyooyo iichedwa kusyoma kulizyoonse zyakaambwa abasinsimi!Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Teensi zyakaleelede na kuti Kkilisito aswaanane amapenzi woonse aya na, akuti anjile mubulemu bwakwe?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Mpawo kusangunina kuli Mozesi akubasinsimi boonse, Jesu wakali kubapandulwida zyoonse zyakalangene aawe mumalembe woonseAnd beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Kabali baamba kusika kugunzi eelyo nkukbakali kuyabuya, Jesu wakachita aanga uyanda skwinda kaya kunemboo.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Pesi bakamukombelezya, bakati, “Kkala aswebo, nkaambo lyaamba kuba goko zuba lyaamba kubbila.” Aboobo Jesu wakanjila wakkala aabo.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.

30Chakachitika kuti, naakakkala aansi ambabo kuti balye, wakabweza chinkwa, wakachilongezya, wakachikwamuna mpawo wakabapedekezya.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Mpawo menso aabo akajulika, mpawo bakamuziba, mpawo tebakachilikumubona pe.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Bakati aakati kabo, “Myoyo yesu niyatapya mukati kesu, nalikwaambuula kulindiswe munzila, aawo nalikutujulila magwalo?”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?”

33Bakanyampuka mu wola ndileelyo babweda ku Jelusalema. Bakajana balikumi awumwi kababungene antoomwe, antoomwe abaabo mbibakali aabo,And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34bakalikuti, “Mwami wabuka nchobeni, alimwi walibonia kuli Sayimoni.”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Aboobo bakabaambila zintu zyakachitika munzila, akuti Jesu wakayubununwa byeni kulimbabo naakali kukwamuna chinkwa.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Kabachaambula zintu eezi, Jesu lwalkwe wakayimikila aakati kabo, wakati kulimbabo, “Luumuno alube kulindinywe.”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Pesi bakateketa akuzula kuyoowa, bakayeeya kuti babona cheelo.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Nkaambo nzi nimulikataazya? Nkaambo nzi mibuzyo niyazula mumyoyo yenu?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Amulange maboko aangu amawulu aangu, kuti ndime nchoonzyo. Amundigume mubone. Nkaambo cheelo tachikwe nyama amafuwa, mulindibwene me ndilaazyo.”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.”

40Naakaamba eezi, wakabatondeezya maboko amawulu aakwe.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Nibakachizwide lukondo lwiingi, alimwi okambagambide, Jesu wakatgi kulmbabo, “Mujisi chakulya na?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Bakamupa chimpanzi chamuswi wakabizizigwe.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Jesu wakachibweza, alimwi wakalya kunembo lyabo.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Wakati kulmbabo, “Nindakachili aandinywe, ndakamwaambila kuti zyoonse zilembedwe mumulawu wa Mozesi abasinsimi amuntembawuzyho zyeelede kuzuzikizigwa.”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.”

45Mpawo wakajula menso aabo kuti bamvwisisisye malembe.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Wakati kuli mbabo, “Aboobo kulilembedwe, kuti Kkilisitu welede kupenzegwa, akabuke lubo kubafu mubuzuba bwatatu.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Alimwi kusanduka akulekelelwa kwazibi kweelede kukakambawukwe muzina lyakwe, kunyika zyoonse, kutalikila mu Jelusalema.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Mulibakamboni bazeezi zintu.You are witnesses of these things.

49Amulange ndilikutumina kulindinywe eecho Ndeende nchakasyomezya. Pesi amukkale mudolopo kusikila mukajane nguzu kuzwa kujulu.”And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

50Mpawo Jesu wakabazulwida kunze mane bakusika afwiifwi aku Bbetani. Wakanyampula maboko aakwe, wakabalongezya.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Zyakachitika kuti, naakachili kubalongezya, wakabasiya alimwi wakanyampwidwa kujulu.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Aboobo bakamukomba, mpawo bakabweeda ku Jelusalemu mulukondo lupati.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Bakakkala kabali muchikombelo kabalongezya Lezapraising God continually in the temple.
