Luke 24 (LDB) · Opened

1Ru unum inggbaashia ri inuma utɔɔva, ri igɔ̃kpeka, akatsɛrh ha anyanga abinkɛ umbɔ aka agbisha azĩmbɔ ru udzaka.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Umbɔ akpo utarh ukpuku utsim ru udzaka uku ugɔ̃rhũkpɔ.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Bɔr umbɔ aka atsĩ, umbɔ asi inyãmbɔ ukom Uteijee Uyesu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Umbɔ ana awe ri idzeu ifɛrhɛ ha, kanying inera ivaa idɛ̃ɛ̃ ikhapa ru umbɔ, itsim atorho aka aterha ake arhang ru nyaki ishaa unum.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Akatsɛrh ha agũ iwei na asũrhã atsimbɔ ra abĩ, aner ha agɔr umbɔ agɛ, <<Awu use utsu umbi abee uner urhɛ ra abika akpukpe?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?

6Unga ashia nggimi, unga aka asoka! Aka ayitu ubinkpi unga aka adɛyiwa umbi, unga aka awu nggu umbi ru Ugarhirhi.He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7Agɛ awu ufang umbɔ aka idzowe Ungwɛ̃-Ner ra abi arhim, umbɔ anyapuwe unga nu igãrhãmau ucucii, ru unum untaar unga awuri isoka ikɛi.>>‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Mɔcɛ umbɔ ayitu irhɛmnga.Then they remembered His words.

9Ivangyɛ umbɔ aka apfuri ra anang udzaka abambɔ asɔme abɔrɔ udom hã (11), angwɛ̃ imesanga, nu irhɛ abɔɔ ifɛrha ha.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Awu umbɔ Umaryamu Umagadarha, nggu Uyowana, nu Umaryamu uyisa Uyaku, nu akatsɛrh abɔɔ aka awu nggu umbɔ, umbɔ asɔme abi itser Uyesu ifɛrha ha.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Bɔr umbɔ asi ibemumbɔ idzidzɛrhe akatsɛrh ha, ubinkutsu umbɔ anyanga arherhe ha awu isheri itsi.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Bɔr Ubitru asok atĩ azĩã ru udzaka, agba apfu, na anyã atorho ukpekũ, na abvui azĩã adzeidzeu ifɛrha ha iki iwe.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.

13Ru unum hã ikɛi inera ivaa abika adɔsu Uyesu aka azɛ̃rhã awuri izĩ ungwɛ̃rhũ uteu ukpɔɔ ugburh Uimawu. Iderkpɔ iyongge akirhomita usɔka nu unying uzĩ Urusharhima.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Umbɔ anu irherhe nggu adɔka ru ubɛn ubinkpi uku ukorhe.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Umbɔ aka adɛ̃ɛ̃ irherha arherhe ifɛrhɛ ha nggu adɔkambɔ, Uyesu nibikanga adzeka aba azɛ̃rhã nggu umbɔ.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Bɔr Uyesu asi ibeenga umbɔ ahwɛng ugɛ awu unga.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Unga arhusa umbɔ agɛ, <<Umbi azɛ̃rhã na ani irherhu use ikivarhambi?>> Umbɔ atsurha adɛ̃ɛ̃, unyɛ̃ɛ̃mbɔ ughɔrhe.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Unying itsoka igburh Ukirhiyoba, arhusa unga agɛ, <<Awu ungo ikiyikango uwu utsen ru Urusharhima ungo uku usi ihwɛngngo ifɛrha ha iki ikorhe umɔ inum iyɛrɛ?>>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?”

19Unga arhusa umbɔ agɛ, <<Ifɛrhu use?>> Umbɔ agɛ, <<Arherhu Uyesu uner Unazarat, uner uwuku usɔm Arherhu-Num, uner ijee ra arherhe nu ikikorhe ra asu Unum na anera kishoo.“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.

20Ikɛi ateiya abika adzowe idɛm-Num nu anggbaashi abɔɔ aka adzowe unga ra abi ijee Uroma, umbɔ atsuke unga ufai akpe, na anyapuwe unga nu igãrhãmau ucucii.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Bɔr umɛn ifosa ugɛ unga awuri ifai Uisrairha. Utoma rimi, ifɛrha ha iki ikorhe kishoo unum untaar nukpi.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.

22Utoma rimi, akatsɛrhmɛn abɔɔ adzaa umɛn idzeu. Umbɔ azĩmbɔ ru udzaka ri igɔ̃ ukpea ukpirɛ,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23bɔr umbɔ asi ikpombɔ ukom iyornga. Umbɔ asok aba agɔr umɛn ugɛ umbɔ anyãmbɔ irhi, ípfu itser-Num igɔr umbɔ igɛ awu nggu urhɛ.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.

24Mɔcɛ abimɛn abɔɔ asok azĩmbɔ ru udzaka azĩ anyã rimi hã ru nyaka akatsɛrh ha aka arherhe, bɔr umbɔ asi inyãmbɔ unga.>>Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Unga agɔr umbɔ agɛ, <<Umbi adzunu use umbi rimi, amɛnmbi adɔ̃rhũ use rimi, ri iwe ru imangmang abinkɛ kishoo abika asɔm Arherhu-Num aka arherhe!Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Asi iwea ufang Ukiristo aka ihwa ayetnum ri ifɛrha ha na atsĩ ri ikpikpoinga?>>Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Na atirhi ru imesu Umusa nu iyi abika asɔm Arherhu-Num kishoo, asɔme umbɔ arherhe akirakɛ aka awe ri itsinga ri itsɛng Arherhu-Num kishoo.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Umbɔ aka ayoku ungwɛ̃rhũ uteu ha umbɔ aka izĩ, unga akorhe ugɛɛ unga awuri itɔng.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Umbɔ angipa unga agɔr agɛ, <<Usei nggu umɛn, unuma aka amaanga.>> Nggee unga azĩ asesa nggu umbɔ.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.

30Ivangyɛ unga aka asei igha ubingha nggu umbɔ, unga anyangu uborodi, atar uwɛɛ adzowe Unum, na atsɔka adzowe umbɔ.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Mɔcɛ asumbɔ ayanga, umbɔ ahwɛng unga ikɛi, nu unga agwira ri inyĩnyãmbɔ.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Umbɔ arhusa adɔkambɔ agɛ, <<Anggɔm asi itsu amɛnmɛn ayiruke ri ivangyɛ unga aka arherhe arherhe nggu umɛn ru utsĩndĩ na amesuwa umɛn itsɛng Arherhu-Num?>>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?”

33Kanying umbɔ asok azĩmbɔ Urusharhima, umbɔ azĩ akpo abɔrɔ udom hã (11) ananga unying na abirabɛ aka awu nggu umbɔ.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Anu igɔr agɛ, <<Awu idzidzɛrhe! Uteijee aka asoka, adzekanga ru Usiman!>>and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Mɔcɛ umbɔ ikivarhambɔ adzowe isarhe ubinkpi uku ukorhe ru utsĩndĩ, ru nyaka umbɔ aka ahwɛng Uyesu ri itsɔku uborodi.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Ivangyɛ umbɔ aka adɛ̃ɛ̃ irherha arherhe ifɛrha ha, akpurha anyã Uyesu akapɛng adɛ̃ɛ̃ ra ateumbɔ, na agɔr umbɔ agɛ, <<Ididɔɔr iwe nggu umbi.>>While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Bɔr umbɔ agbipa iwei ifɛr umbɔ, umbɔ akaifɛrhkɔ agɛ umbɔ anyã imãrhã.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Unga agɔr umbɔ agɛ, <<Awu use utsu umbi agũ iwei, awu use umbi anu icang ikɛi ra amɛnmbi?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Àka arhi abokmum, nu adakmum. Awu umum nibikami! Àka abanga umum agũ. Imãrhã ishingge ri ijuɛ nggu apfupfu ru nyaka umbi aka agũ ru umum.>>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.”

40Ivangyɛ unga aka arherhe rimi, unga adɛyiwe umbɔ aboknga nu adaknga.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Bɔr umbɔ ana acang ra amɛnmbɔ, ri itsi anggɔm nu idzeu akarhãrhã, unga arhusa umbɔ agɛ, <<Umbi awembi ru ubingha ri nggimi?>>While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Umbɔ adzowe unga awushu ubɛrh uwuku uvum.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Unga ayɛi atãi ra asumbɔ.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Unga agɔr umbɔ agɛ, <<Arherhamum ha rakɛ, umum iki idɛyiwa umbi rimɔ̃ɔ̃ umum iki iwu nggu umbi. Ugɛ awu ufang abina kishoo aka itsuafɛr ri itsimum umbɔ aka atsɛng ri Íkpem Umusa, nu abvur abika asɔm Arherhu-Num, nu Ambom.>>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.”

45Mɔcɛ unga ayanguwe amɛnmbɔ umbɔ ahwɛng itsɛng Arherhu-Num.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Unga agɔr umbɔ agɛ, <<Itsɛng hã iyɛ iki itsɛng igɛ awu ufang Ukiristo aka ihwa ayetnum na asoka ra akpe ru unum untaar.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Ni igɛ idzidzipa nu itsũwe arhim awuri idzowe isarhangge ri itsoknga, ra abĩã kishoo, awuri itirhi ru Urusharhima.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Awu umbi awuri idekuwe anera ifɛrha iyɛrɛ.You are witnesses of these things.

49Umum iwuri idenukũ ubinkpi Utɛmum aka abemuwa, bɔr aka adãrhã ru utepa utsɛku umbi aka iyɛi ijee iyiki idzeka afã.>>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.”

50Ivangyɛ unga aka akũna umbɔ adzek azĩ akhapa ru Ubetani, unga abera aboka atsuke idorh ru umbɔ.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Unga aka adɛ̃ɛ̃ itsuke umbɔ idorh, umɔ unga abɔruka umbɔ, ashupa unga afũmbɔ ra afã.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Mɔcɛ umbɔ adzowe unga igɔng na apfuri azĩmbɔ Urusharhima nggu anggɔm akarhãrhã.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Ubɛn unuma ikɛi umbɔ akɔng ru ufɔm Iya-Num anu ikpoi Unum.praising God continually in the temple.
