Luke 24 (LAG) · Opened

1Haaha sikʉ ya Jumapɨ́ɨrɨ namʉtóondo dwɨɨ, vara vaantʉ vaki vajáa vatoola makuta yara ˆvajáa viimiiryé neeja, maa vakadoma na mbiríírii ya mpaanga ˆngʼeene ɨjáa yabokwa mwaalaliwyii.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2ˆVakafike kʉra, vakashaana rɨra iwye rafíngiritiiwe fuma mbiríírii.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Maa kaa, ˆvakɨɨngɨre na mbiríírii, sɨ vashaana mʉvɨrɨ wa Yéesu Mweenevyoosi tʉkʉ.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Ntɨ ˆvakaarɨ vahwáalɨɨre, koonka vaantʉ valʉme vavɨrɨ viivɨ́kɨɨre ɨngo njerʉ ˆjilavalava mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ ja lʉlávo vakafʉmɨra, maa vakɨɨma heehi novo.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Avo vaantʉ vaki vakoofa mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ, vakiinamya mɨtwe yaavo fʉʉrʉ ɨsɨ. Aho, vara vaantʉ vakavasea, “Sa che moomʉsaakɨra ˆarɨ mooyo kwa vaantʉ ˆvaakwya?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?

6Asiina aha tʉkʉ, afúfukire! Kumbukiri vira ˆvyeene avawyɨɨra mpɨɨndɨ ˆajáa hamwɨ na nyuunyu kʉra Galiláaya.He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7Ajáa avasea, ‘Vyasaakwa Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ avɨɨkwe mɨkonwii ya vaantʉ vavɨ, aningʼiniwe mʉsaláabii fʉʉrʉ akwye, na sikʉ ya katatʉ afʉfʉke.’”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Aho, vakayakʉmbʉkɨra yara masáare Yéesu ˆajáa avawyɨɨra.Then they remembered His words.

9Avo vaantʉ vaki vakahɨndʉka fuma mbiríírii. Vakɨɨta koo vawyɨɨra isimwi ɨrɨ vara vatumwi ikimi na ʉmwɨ baa na vapooji vɨɨngɨ voosi va Yéesu.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Avo vaantʉ vaki marina yaavo noo vala Maríia Makɨdaléena, Yooáana na Maríia íyo waala Yaakúupu. Kei kʉjáa kwatɨɨte vaantʉ vaki vɨɨngɨ ˆvajáa hamwɨ novo, na ava noo vavawyɨɨra vatumwi masáare aya.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Maa kaa, sɨ varuma ayo masáare tʉkʉ, vakoona nɨ ya kɨhoho vii.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Baa neembe nɨ jeyyo, Peéteri akiinʉka, akatamanya itɨ́ɨjo fʉʉrʉ mbiríírii. ˆAkasʉngɨrɨre akoona ɨngo ja kɨtáani joongʼeene vii. Akahɨndʉka na kaayii kʉnʉ yookiiyurya kɨra ˆkɨfʉ́mɨɨre.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.

13Haaha sikʉ ɨyo, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte vapooji vavɨrɨ va Yéesu ˆvatamanyáa na iturii rɨmwɨ ˆraséwaa Emáau. Kufuma Yerusaléemu fʉʉrʉ Emáau nɨ ja lʉyeendo lwa masaa yavɨrɨ.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Na mpɨɨndɨ ˆvajáa njirii, vakava vookiivaɨra mbuwo ja masáare ˆmeene yafʉmɨɨré.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Mpɨɨndɨ ˆvajáa vakaarɨ voolʉʉsɨka ayo, Yéesu mweeneevyo akavakwaata, maa akaanda yeendanʼya novo.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Maa kaa, miiso yaavo yakakʉnɨkɨrɨrwa vadɨɨre kʉmʉtaanga.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Yeeye akavuurya, “Nɨ mbuwo che mʉkɨtookiivaɨra mpɨɨndɨ ˆmooyeenda?” Avo vamaka vakɨɨma kʉnʉ vaviswɨ́ɨre.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Ʉmwɨ waavo ˆasewáa Kɨleóopa akamuurya, “Weewe vii noo mʉyeni sɨ ˆʉmányire masáare ˆyafʉmɨɨré aha Yerusaléemu sikʉ iji wʉʉ?”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?”

19Maa Yéesu akavuurya, “Nɨ masáare yarɨkwɨ ayo?” Novo vakamʉsea, “Masáare ya Yéesu wa Nasaréeti. Yeeye nɨ mʉláali na mʉtwe ajáa, kei ajáa atɨɨte lʉvɨro lʉkʉʉlʉ mirimwii yaachwe na masáarii yaachwe mbere ya Mʉlʉʉngʉ na vaantʉ voosi.“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.

20Vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva na vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va aha mɨɨtʉ, vamʉkwaatya mɨkonwii ya Piláato sa aheewe irya ro kwya, maa akaningʼiniwa mʉsaláabii fʉʉrʉ akakwya.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Maa kaa, ʉhʉ noo tiilaangyáa tununuula arɨ suusu Viisiraéeli fuma kwa vavɨ viitʉ. Kʉlookya ayo, isikʉ nɨ sikʉ ya katatʉ keende ayo ˆyafʉmɨra.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.

22Kei kwatɨɨte vaantʉ vaki va mpuka yiiswi ˆvatʉhwáaliirye isikʉ. Voovo vaarɨ valáavire na mbiríírii.Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23Ʉko mbiríírii, sɨ vʉʉshɨ́hɨɨne mʉvɨrɨ wa Yéesu tʉkʉ. ˆVakahɨndʉke, vatʉséire, vafʉ́mɨɨrwe nɨ mirimʉ miija na yavaséire, ‘Yéesu nɨ mooyo arɨ.’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.

24Aho, vamwɨ va vaantʉ valʉme va mpuka yiiswi vadómire itɨ́ɨjo na mbiríírii na vashɨ́hɨɨne ja ˆvyeene vawyɨ́ɨrɨɨrwe nɨ vara vaantʉ vaki. Maa kaa, voovo sɨ vamwɨɨ́ne Yéesu tʉkʉ.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Yéesu akavasea, “Aka re nyuunyu mʉrɨ vahoho! Sa che mɨtɨma yaanyu yafafa jei kuruma masáare yoosi ˆyalʉʉswa nɨ valáali na mʉtwe va Ijʉva?Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Eri, sɨ vijáa vyasaakwa Masía aturikiriwe kwa njɨra ɨyo, maa de ɨɨngɨre nkongojimii yaachwe tʉkʉ wʉʉ?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Akavavariyʉrɨra masáare yoosi ˆyarɨ Masáarii ˆYarɨ Mpeho ˆmeene yalʉʉswa kʉrɨ yeeye. Akalʉʉsa kwaandɨra masáarii ya Mʉ́sa fʉʉrʉ masáarii yoosi ya valáali na mʉtwe.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28ˆVakasengerere kufika rɨra ituri kʉʉntʉ ˆvadomáa, Yéesu akabweeyya ja yoolookanirya na mbere.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Maa kaa, voovo vakamʉheemba voosea, “Laala aha mɨɨtʉ, amwɨ iwʉlo rɨɨ́ngɨɨre nuuchikʉ wafíkire?” Jeyyo Yéesu akatamanyanʼya novo.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.

30Yéesu ˆakiikale novo méesii kurya chákurya, akatoola mʉkáate, akamʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ, akʉʉbendʉlabendʉla, maa akavaheera.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Hahara, miiso yaavo yakakʉnʉkʉlwa, maa vakamʉtaanga nɨ Yéesu. Ne hahara akarɨmɨra mbere yaavo.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Aho, vakiiyurya voosea, “Mɨtɨma yiiswi sɨ yaarɨ ɨkórɨɨre mpɨɨndɨ ˆaatʉvariyʉrɨra no tʉlaɨra Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho kʉra njirii tʉkʉ wʉʉ?”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?”

33Mpɨɨndɨ jijira vakahɨndʉka na Yerusaléemu. Kʉra, vakavashaana vapooji vaachwe ikimi na ʉmwɨ viijíingire hamwɨ baa na vɨɨngɨ.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Novo vaseáa, “Mweenevyoosi afúfukire kɨkomi! Amʉfʉ́mɨɨre Simóoni!”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Aho, vara vapooji vavɨrɨ novo vakalʉʉsa masáare ˆyavafʉ́mɨɨre njirii, na ˆvyeene vamʉtáangire Yéesu ˆakabendʉlebendʉle mʉkáate, de akavaheera.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Mpɨɨndɨ ˆvajáa vakaarɨ voolʉʉsɨka ayo, Yéesu mweeneevyo akɨɨma katɨkatɨ yaavo akavasea, “Mwiikalo mʉʉja ʉve na nyuunyu!”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Vakiivʉndʉka na vakoofa mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ sa viiseáa vɨɨ́ne murimʉ.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Maa kaa, Yéesu akavuurya, “Sa che mookoofa? Sa che mʉrɨ na kivundu mitimii yaanyu?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Laangi mayaanja yaanɨ na majeo yaanɨ, sa mʉtaange koonɨ kɨkomi nɨ nɨɨnɨ. Nsaasyi moone, sa murimʉ usiina mʉvɨrɨ tʉkʉ na makúfa tʉkʉ ja ˆvyeene mookʉʉnyona natɨɨte.”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.”

40ˆAkahʉmʉle kʉvawyɨɨra masáare ayo, akavalaɨra mayaanja yaachwe na majeo yaachwe.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Vapooji vaachwe vakavyeenda maatʉkʉ vii mpaka vakasiindwa baa kuruma yara ˆvoonáa. Aho, akavuurya, “Mwatɨɨte chóorya chochoosi aha wʉʉ?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Voovo vakamʉheera ibéendʉ ra soompa ˆyookiwa.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Yeeye akahokera, maa akarya mbere yaavo.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Aho, akavasea, “Aya noo masáare ˆnavawyɨɨráa mpɨɨndɨ ˆnɨjáa na nyuunyu. Nɨjáa navasea, kɨra kɨɨntʉ ˆchaandɨkwa kʉrɨ nɨɨnɨ Miirwii ya Mʉ́sa, vitáabwii vya valáali na mʉtwe na Sabúurii nɨ mpaka kiikiimane.”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.”

45Aho, akachʉngʉla mɨryʉʉngʉ yaavo sa vadahe kʉtaanga Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Akavasea, “Ayo noo yaandɨkwa, Masía turikiriwa arɨ na sikʉ ya katatʉ fʉfʉka arɨ fuma inkwyii.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Kei kwa irina raachwe, vaantʉ va ɨsɨ joosi kwaandɨra Yerusaléemu variyʉrɨrwa varɨ vavalandʉke fuma uvii waavo, na vasewe ʉvɨ waavo wasírire.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Nyuunyu noo mashahíidi va aya masáare.You are witnesses of these things.

49Laangi! Nɨɨnɨ mʉtʉma ndɨrɨ kʉrɨ nyuunyu Mʉtɨma Mʉʉja Taáta waanɨ ˆajáa iichuunga kʉvaretera arɨ. Haaha, ikali aha Yerusaléemu fʉʉrʉ mpɨɨndɨ ˆmʉrɨ heewa ngururu fuma kurumwii.”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.”

50Mpɨɨndɨ kiduudi, Yéesu akavasʉmʉla na weerwii ya múuji fʉʉrʉ iturii ra Besanía. Akiinurirya mɨkono yaachwe, akavatalarya.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Mpɨɨndɨ ˆavatalaryáa, akavareka, maa akasʉmʉlwa na kurumwii.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Aho, vakamwiinamɨra, maa vakahɨndʉka na Yerusaléemu kʉnʉ vavyeéndire mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Sikʉ joosi vakiikala Kaayii Njija ya Ijʉva, kʉnʉ voomʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ.praising God continually in the temple.
