Luke 24 (IKZ) · Opened

1Ribhaga rya mʉmacha urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtangɨ rwi inyuma, abhakari bhayo bhakaja kumbihɨra, bhabhanwirɨ amaguta ganʉ bhaakʉrirɨ.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Nawe riibhwɨ ikʉrʉ rɨnʉ ryarɨ riribhirɨ imbihɨra, bhakarebhona rihiringitiibhwɨ rusizʉ.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Neho bhakasikɨra mʉʉsi, bhakabhona ɨkɨtʉndʉ chʉ Ʉmʉkʉrʉ Yɨɨsu kɨtariimu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Hanʉ bhaarɨ bhakɨɨrɨ bhararʉgʉʉra igʉrʉ wɨ ɨngʼana yiyo, hayohayo rusizʉ waabhʉ, bhakiimɨɨrɨra abhasubhɨ bhabhɨrɨ, bhiibhʉhirɨ zengebho zɨnzɨrʉ za pee!While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Abhakari bhayo bhakabharora bhakagwatwa nu ubhwʉbha bhʉkʉngʼu, bhakiihiinya kuhika haasɨ. Neho abhasubhɨ bhayo bhakabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Ndora mʉramohya ʉmʉhʉru mʉbhaku?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?

6Atarɨ hanʉ! Aryukirɨ! Muhiitɨ amangʼana ganʉ aabhabhuuriirɨ hanʉ aarɨ akɨɨrɨ Gariraaya.He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7Akabhuga, ‘Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ, areenderwa ahurukibhwɨ mʉmabhoko ga bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ, na bharamʉbhamba kʉmʉsarabha nu urusikʉ rwa katatʉ araryʉka.’ ”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Abhakari bhayo bhakahiita amangʼana ga Yɨɨsu,Then they remembered His words.

9bhakahʉrʉka mumbihɨra, bhakaja kʉbhʉʉrɨra abhatumwa bha Yɨɨsu ikumi na wʉmwɨ, hamwɨmwɨ na abhandɨ bhʉʉsi.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Abhakari bhayo, nɨ‑Mariyamu wa Magidarena, Yowana, Mariyamu unina Yaakobho, hamwɨmwɨ na abhakari abhandɨ bhanʉ bhaarɨ hamwɨmwɨ neebho.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Nawe, bhakabhʉʉrɨra abhatumwa bha Yɨɨsu, bhakagarora kina gataana bhwera, bhatagiisiriiryɨ.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Peetero akiimɨɨrɨra rogendo rʉmwɨ, akaryara mwega kuja kumbihɨra. Hanʉ aahikirɨ, akiihiinya na kwisʉnza mumbihɨra, akarora ɨsanda. Akarwa hayo, ariibhuurya bhʉkʉngʼu ganʉ arʉʉzɨ.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.

13Urusikʉ ruyoruyo, bhabhɨrɨ bha abhɨɨga bha Yɨɨsu bhakabha morogendo kuja ʉrʉbhɨri rwa Ɨmau. Ʉrʉbhɨri ruyo, rwarɨ kina matambʉka bhɨkwɨ ikumi na kɨmwɨ kurwa Yɨrusarɨɨmu.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Bhabhɨrɨ bhayo bhakaja bharagamba igʉrʉ wa amangʼana ganʉ gakʉrirwɨ.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Na hanʉ bhaarɨ bhakɨɨrɨ bharagamba, Yɨɨsu akaaza, akagenda hamwɨmwɨ nabhʉ.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Nawe bhakabha bharibhirwɨ amɨɨsʉ gaabhʉ, bhataamʉmɨnyirɨ.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Akabhabhuurya, “Mʉragambakɨ ɨnʉ mʉragenda?” Bhakiimɨɨrɨra, ubhushʉ bhwabhʉ bharingirɨ ekomo.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Wʉmwɨ waabhʉ, iriina ryazɨ Kireopa, akamʉgarukirya, “Mʉbhagini bhʉʉsi bha Yɨrusarɨɨmu, naawɨ aumwene ʉkɨɨrɨ kwigwa ganʉ gakʉrirwɨ zisikʉ zɨnʉ?”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?”

19Akabhabhuurya, “Mangʼanakɨ gayo?” Bhakamʉgarukirya, “Itwɨ tʉragamba igʉrʉ wa Yɨɨsu wa Nazarɨɨti. Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi na Mungu, bhakarora kʉbha aarɨ ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri, amangʼana na amahocha gaazɨ gaarɨ na zinguru bhʉkʉngʼu.“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.

20Nawe abhakʉrʉ bha abhakuhaani na abhiimiiririri bhɨɨtʉ bhamuhurukiryɨ atinirwɨ kukwa, bhakamʉbhamba kʉmʉsarabha.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Na newe twisɨgirɨ kʉbha aratuurya Abhiiziraɨri. Kwɨma gayo gʉʉsi gakʉrirwɨ, reero ni‑rusikʉ rwa katatʉ.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.

22“Hamwɨmwɨ na gayo, abhamwɨ bha abhakari gatɨ wɨɨtʉ bhatʉtachiryɨ. Reero mʉmacha bhakaja mumbiihɨra,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23bhakabhona ɨkɨtʉndʉ cha Yɨɨsu kɨtariimu. Bhakagarʉka na kʉtʉbhʉʉrɨra kʉbha, bhakarora ʉbhʉrʉri bhwa maraika, bhanʉ bhaabhugirɨ Yɨɨsu nɨ‑mʉhʉru.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.

24Akʉmara, abhandɨ bhanʉ bhaarɨ na niitwɨ bhakaja kumbihɨra, bhakabhona gʉʉsi chɨmbu abhakari bhayo bhaatubhuuriirɨ, bhʉʉsi bhatarʉʉzɨ ɨkɨtʉndʉ.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Ndora imwɨ bhageegebhu, Kwakɨ bhakʉngʼu mʉrɨ kwisirirya amangʼana ganʉ abharʉʉtɨrɨri bhaagambirɨ?Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Nangʉ Kiriisitʉ atɨɨndirwɨ kʉhɨtɨra ɨnyaakʉ yiyo, na kusikɨra mʉbhʉgʉngʉ bhwazɨ.”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Neho Yɨɨsu akabheerekeererya amangʼana gʉʉsi ganʉ gaandikirwɨ igʉrʉ waazɨ kwɨma mʉbhɨtabhʉ bhya Musa, kuhika ɨbhɨtabhʉ bhyʉsi bhya abharʉʉtɨrɨri.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Hanʉ bhiisukirɨ ʉrʉbhɨri rʉnʉ bhaarɨ bhakuja, Yɨɨsu akabha nkina arangʼeha no rogendo.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Nawe, bhakamwisasaama bhʉkʉngʼu, “Wiikarɨ hamwɨmwɨ na niitwɨ hanʉ, kʉ kʉbha nangwɨnʉ igoroobha ni ikiirimya kisikiirɨ.” Neho Yɨɨsu akasikɨra munyumba bhakiikara hamwɨmwɨ.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.

30Bhakiikara kubhyakurya, Yɨɨsu akagega ʉmʉkaatɨ akagʉsabhɨra, akagusunyura, akabhasondya.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Hayohayo, bhakaramuchwa amɨɨsʉ gaabhʉ, bhakamenya kʉbha nɨ‑Yɨɨsu. Wʉʉsi rogendo rʉmwɨ akabhʉra.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Bhakiibhuurya, “Awɨɨ! Hanʉ aarɨ akʉgamba na niitwɨ kʉnzɨra na kʉtʉbhʉʉrɨra igʉrʉ wa Amaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu, nangʉ tutiigwirɨ nkina omorero gʉraaka mozekoro zɨɨtʉ?”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?”

33Ribhaga riyoriyo bhakabhʉʉka, bhakagarʉka Yɨrusarɨɨmu. Bhakarumana na abhɨɨga bha Yɨɨsu ikumi na wʉmwɨ bhiibhiringirɨ hamwɨmwɨ na abhakɨndichabhʉ.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Hanʉ bhabhɨrɨ bhayo bhaahikirɨ, abhɨɨga bha Yɨɨsu bhakabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Nɨ‑maheene kʉbha Ʉmʉkʉrʉ wɨɨtʉ aryukirɨ, na ahwarukiirɨ Simʉʉni!”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Neho bhakabhʉʉrɨra abhakɨndichabhʉ gʉʉsi ganʉ gakʉrirwɨ mʉnzɨra. Bhakabhabhʉʉrɨra na chɨmbu bhaamɨnyirɨ Yɨɨsu, hanʉ aabhasunyuriirɨ ʉmʉkaatɨ.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Hanʉ abhɨɨga bha Yɨɨsu bhaarɨ bhachagamba igʉrʉ wa gayo, rogendo rʉmwɨ Yɨɨsu akiimɨɨrɨra gatɨ waabhʉ, akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Omorembe gʉbhɨ na niimwɨ.”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Bhakiitacha, bhakʉʉbhaha bhʉkʉngʼu kʉ kʉbha bhakakina bhararora ɨkɨhwɨ.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Nawe, Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Kwakɨ zekoro zaanyu ziitiimaatirɨ? Mʉna amakɨbhwɨ bhʉkʉngʼu mozekoro zaanyu?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Morore amabhoko na amagʉrʉ gaanɨ, kʉbha niinyɨ. Mʉmbatɨbhatɨ morore! Ɨkɨhwɨ kɨtaana mʉbhɨrɨ na amaguha, chɨmbu mokorora inyɨ nɨnago.”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.”

40Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aamarirɨ kʉbhabhʉʉrɨra gayo, akabheerecha amabhoko na amagʉrʉ gaazɨ.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, bhakazomerwa bhʉkʉngʼu kuhika bhatiisiriiryɨ arɨɨbhɨ gʉʉsi nɨ‑maheene. Neho Yɨɨsu akabhabhuurya, “Hanʉ kʉna bhyakurya bhyʉbhyʉsi?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Bhakamoha ritɨnɨka ryi iiswɨ ɨnyʉchu,So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43akagega, akarya embere waabhʉ.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Garya nabhabhuuriirɨ ribhaga nɨkɨɨrɨ hamwɨmwɨ na niimwɨ, kʉbha gʉʉsi gaandikirwɨ igʉrʉ waanɨ mumigirʉ ja Musa, mʉbhɨtabhʉ bhya abharʉʉtɨrɨri, na mʉbhɨtabhʉ bhya Zabhuri gareenderwa kokorwa.”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.”

45Neho Yɨɨsu akabharimʉʉrʉra amangʼɨɨni gaabhʉ bhamenye Amaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Nɨmbu yandikirwɨ, Kiriisitʉ aranyaakibhwa, nu urusikʉ rwa katatʉ, araryʉka kurwa mʉbhaku.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Abhaatʉ bha mubhyarʉ bhyʉsi, kwɨma Yɨrusarɨɨmu hanʉ, bharwazirwɨ kuriina ryazɨ bhatigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwabhʉ, korereke bhabheererwe.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Amangʼana gayo gamarirɨ kokorwa, na niimwɨ nɨ‑bhamɨnyɨɨkɨrɨri bha gayo.You are witnesses of these things.

49“Mwangarɨrɨ! Nɨrabhareetera Ekoro Ɨndɨndu, chɨmbu Bhaabha aamarirɨ kʉbharaga. Nawe, mʉrɨndɨ mʉrʉbhɨri hanʉ, kuhika Ekoro Ɨndɨndu ɨraazɨ, mʉrahaabhwa ʉbhʉnaja kurwa mwisaarʉ.”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.”

50Akʉmara Yɨɨsu akabhahira abhɨɨga bhaazɨ haguhɨ nʉ ʉrʉbhɨri rwa Bhɨtaniya, bhakahika harya, akanʉnga amabhoko gaazɨ igʉrʉ, akabhaha ʉrʉbhangʉ.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Akɨɨrɨ arabhaha ʉrʉbhangʉ, akabhatiga, akagegwa kuja mwisaarʉ.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Bhakamosengera, akʉmara bhakagarʉka Yɨrusarɨɨmu, bhazʉmɨɨrwɨ bhʉkʉngʼu.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Bhakiikara mwihekaaru, bharakumya Mungu.praising God continually in the temple.
