Luke 24 (LUG) · Opened

1Awo ku lunaku Lwassande, lwe lusooka mu wiiki, mu makya ennyo, abakazi ne baddira ebyakaloosa n’amafuta, bye baali bategese, ne bagenda ku ntaana.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Ne basanga ejjinja eryali liggadde omulyango oguyingira mu ntaana, nga liyiringisibbwa okudda wabbali.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Bwe batyo ne bayingira mu ntaana, naye omulambo gwa Mukama waffe Yesu tebaagusangamu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Ne bayimirira awo nga babuliddwa eky’okukola. Amangwago, abasajja babiri ne balabika mu maaso gaabwe nga bambadde engoye ezimasamasa ng’okumyansa kw’eraddu.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Abakazi ne batya nnyo, ne bakutama ne batunula wansi, abasajja ne babagamba nti, “Lwaki omuntu omulamu mumunoonyeza mu ntaana?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?

6Taliiwo wano, azuukidde! Mujjukire bye yabagamba nga muli e Ggaliraaya nti,He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7‘Omwana w’Omuntu, ateekwa okuweebwayo mu mikono gy’abantu ababi, bamukomerere ku musaalaba, naye nga ku lunaku olwokusatu alizuukira.’ ”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Ne bajjukira ebigambo bye ebyo.Then they remembered His words.

9Awo ne bayanguwa mangu ne bagenda, ne bategeeza abayigirizwa ekkumi n’omu n’abalala bonna, ebintu ebyo byonna. Bano be bakazi abaalaga ku ntaana, era ne bategeeza abayigirizwa ebintu ebyo:And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Maliyamu Magudaleene, ne Jowaana, ne Maliyamu nnyina Yakobo, n’abalala. Ne bategeeza abatume ebintu ebyo.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Naye bye baababuulira nga biwulikika ng’ebitaliimu makulu, era tebaabikkiriza.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Kyokka Peetero n’adduka n’alaga ku ntaana, n’akutama n’alingiza n’alaba ng’engoye za linena Yesu mwe yali azingiddwa ziri wabbali zokka nga njereere, n’addayo eka nga yeewuunya.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.

13Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini abasajja babiri, abamu ku abo abaagobereranga Yesu, baali batambula nga bagenda mu kabuga akayitibwa Emawu, akaali kilomita nga kkumi na bbiri okuva e Yerusaalemi.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Baali bagenda boogera ku kufa kwa Yesu.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Amangwago Yesu yennyini n’abeegattako n’atambula nabo.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Kyokka tebaamutegeera, kubanga ekyo Katonda yali akibakisizza.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Biki bye munyumyako nga bwe mutambula mu kkubo?” Ne bayimirira ng’amaaso gaabwe gajjudde ennaku.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Omu ku bo, erinnya lye Kulyoppa n’amuddamu nti, “Oli mugenyi mu Yerusaalemi atamanyi bya kitalo ebyaliwo mu wiiki eyise?”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?”

19Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Biki ebyo?” Ne baddamu nti, “Ebyagwa ku Yesu Omunnazaaleesi eyali omusajja Nnabbi ow’amaanyi mu bye yakolanga ne bye yayogeranga eyakola ebyamagero ebyewuunyisa, era yali Muyigiriza wa kitalo, mu maaso ga Katonda ne mu maaso g’abantu bonna.“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.

20Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze baffe baamukwata ne bamuwaayo n’asalirwa omusango ogw’okufa, ne bamukomerera ku musaalaba.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Twali tusuubira nti, Ye Kristo anaalokola Isirayiri.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.

22Ebyo nga bikyali awo, nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu bukyanga bino bibaawo abamu ku bakazi b’ewaffe baatwewuunyisizza. Olwa leero baakedde ku ntaana,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23naye omulambo gwe tebaagusanzeemu. Bwe baakomyewo baatugambye nti bayolesebbwa ba bamalayika abaabagambye nti mulamu!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.

24Abamu ku bannaffe abasajja nabo ne bagendayo mangu, nabo ne basanga ng’omulambo gwa Yesu teguliimu mu ntaana, ng’abakazi bwe baagambye.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nga muli bantu basirusiru! Mmwe ab’emitima eminafu egirwawo okukkiriza bannabbi bye baategeeza!Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Tekyagwanira Kristo okubonaabona mu bintu byonna n’oluvannyuma alyoke ayingire mu kitiibwa kye?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27N’atandikira ku Musa n’ayitaayita mu bannabbi bonna ng’agenda abannyonnyola Ebyawandiikibwa bye bimwogerako.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Bwe baasemberera akabuga we baali bagenda, Yesu n’aba nga eyeeyongerayo,As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29naye ne bamuwaliriza asule ewaabwe kubanga n’obudde bwali buwungedde. N’akkiriza, asigale.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.

30Awo bwe yali ng’alya nabo n’addira omugaati, ne yeebaza n’agumenyamu, n’abawa.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Amangwago amaaso gaabwe ne gazibuka ne bamutegeera! Ate n’ababulako mu kaseera ako!Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Ne batandika okwewuunaganya nga bagamba nti, “Emitima gyaffe tegyabuguumiridde bwe yabadde ayogera naffe mu kkubo ng’atunnyonnyola Ebyawandiikibwa?”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?”

33Awo ne basituka mangu ne baddayo mu Yerusaalemi, ne basanga abayigirizwa ekkumi n’omu ne bannaabwe abalala nga bakuŋŋaanye,And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34nga bagamba nti, “Ddala Mukama waffe azuukidde! Alabikidde Peetero!”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Ne bannyonnyola, nga Yesu bwe yabalabikira nga bali mu kkubo batambula, era nga bwe yategeerekeka gye bali ng’amaze okumenya omugaati.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Awo bwe baali bakyayogera ebyo Yesu n’ayimirira mu makkati gaabwe n’abalamusa nti, “Emirembe gibeere nammwe!”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Naye bonna ne bakankana nga batidde nnyo, nga balowooza nti balaba muzimu!But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki mutidde bwe mutyo? Lwaki mubuusabuusa mu mitima gyammwe?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Mulaba ebibatu byange. Mutunule ne ku bigere byange! Kaakano mutegeere nga ye Nze kennyini. Munkwateko mukakasize ddala nti ssiri muzimu, kubanga omuzimu tegubeera na mubiri na magumba nga Nze bye nnina.”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.”

40Bwe yali ng’ayogera n’abalaga ebibatu bye n’ebigere bye.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Naye nga bakyabuusabuusa kyokka nga balina essanyu era nga basamaaliridde n’alyoka ababuuza nti, “Mulinawo wano ekyokulya?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Ne bamuwa ekitundu ky’ekyennyanja ekyokye,So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43n’akitoola n’akiriira mu maaso gaabwe nga bamutunuulira!and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44N’abagamba nti, “Nabategeeza nga nkyali nammwe nti ebintu byonna ebyampandiikibwako mu mateeka ga Musa, ne mu bya bannabbi, ne mu Zabbuli, byali biteekwa okutuukirira.”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.”

45N’alyoka asumulula emitima gyabwe, ne bategeera ebyawandiikibwa.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46N’abagamba nti, “Kyawandiikibwa dda nnyo nti Kristo kimugwanira okubonaabona, n’okufa era ku lunaku olwokusatu azuukire mu bafu.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Era mu linnya lye Enjiri ey’okwenenya n’okusonyiyibwa ebibi eribuulirwa amawanga gonna okutandikira mu Yerusaalemi.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Muli bajulirwa b’ebyo,You are witnesses of these things.

49Laba mbaweereza ekisuubizo kya Kitange. Mubeere mu kibuga okutuusa lwe mulyambazibwa amaanyi agava mu ggulu.”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.”

50Awo Yesu n’abakulembera ne balaga e Besaniya. N’ayimusa emikono gye waggulu, n’abawa omukisa.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Bwe yali ng’akyabawa omukisa, n’abavaako, n’asitulibwa, n’atwalibwa mu ggulu.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Ne bamusinza, ne baddayo mu Yerusaalemi nga bajjudde essanyu lingi.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Ne babeeranga mu Yeekaalu bulijjo nga batendereza Katonda.praising God continually in the temple.
