2Lɛ bo doo bo gɛɛŋ bo bu fo, bo yɛŋ ba biŋsɛ wa tɛdɛ chì ba gɛ̀ baŋɛ jwe wu jɛŋ yɛɛ yu.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Lɛ bo lee bo gɛɛŋ a jɛŋ bo gɛ yɛŋ gvunɛ chi Tada Jiso le gɛ.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Bo gɛ̀ lɛɛŋ fo bo ŋgɛsɛ lo. Fi kooshɛ lɛ bilɛŋsɛ bafɛɛ gɛ̀ bee bo ja bo to bo lɛɛŋ mbebe yiboo le, bo noŋ njú yì baaŋ yi lale.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Bikɛse baa gɛ̀ faaŋ baaŋ, bo mo bo tuŋ bikwɛɛ fɛkuu. Bilɛŋsɛ baa biih bo le lɛ, “Le nje la wù bɛŋ goone muh wù baaŋ yu antɛnɛɛ a baŋkfu?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?

6Gɛ wu nyu fɛnɛ gɛ, wu le wu bu wa yi kwe le. Bɛŋ kwâjɛ fiɛɛ fì wu gɛ̀ jɛmɛ bɛŋ le sege bena bo gɛ̀ bee Galalee.He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

8Bo mo bo kwajɛ fiɛɛ fì Jiso gɛ̀ jɛmɛ bo le.Then they remembered His words.

10Bikɛse ba gɛ̀ sɛŋe fiɛɛ fì gɛ̀ kooshɛ fiyu booŋ ba ntuŋ ba Jiso le gɛ̀ bee Mɛɛle Madaleŋ, Joana mo Mɛɛle wu bwe Jɛm bɛ bikɛse bamu.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Bo yu njɛmɛ wuyu gɛh njɛ le njɛmɛ wu achiji, bo gɛ bɛɛŋ gɛ.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Geenɛ, Bita ja we, wu legɛ wu gɛɛŋ wu bu fɛ jɛŋ, wu ŋgvuumɛ wu bijɛ a jɛŋ wu yɛŋ gɛh nyu njú yì ba gɛ̀ giŋsɛ Jiso yu le. Wu mo wu ja wu tuu jiŋ fɛ yeh le wù kɛme kiŋgha yi fiɛɛ fì kooshi le.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.

13Fi gɛ̀ kooshɛ gɛh abvu lɛ, bamii bamu bafɛɛ bo gɛ̀ bii Jiso le bo gɛ̀ ja Yɛlusalɛm bo gɛɛne ntɛ wù ba tɛŋe lɛ Imayu le, gɛ̀ bee njɛ bama bvusooshwi ki wo gɛ̂ɛŋ wo bu yo.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Bo tu bo gɛɛne bo jɛme lɛbolɛbo kune mwɛɛ mù gɛ̀ kooshɛ munchii.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15No bo gɛ̀ jiɛnyi bo jɛme bo tuu fo noo, Jiso gɛ̀ bee wu kɛŋsɛ wu to mbebe yiboo le wu tu wu jiɛnyi bɛ bo.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Fiɛɛ fimi ge lɛ keefɛ bo kɛ̂ɛ muh wuyu gɛ.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Jiso mo wu ja wu biih bo le lɛ, “Le fiɛɛ fì la fì bɛŋ jiɛnyi bɛŋ jɛme kune fi?” No wu biide noo, bo lɛɛmɛ bɛ yii yi manshi maboo le.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Muh lɛ bo le wu jee che gɛ̀ bee lɛ Kleofa wu biih wu le lɛ, “Mɛ gɛh wo maa wu le ntolo Yɛlusalɛm wù baaŋ kɛɛ gɛ mwɛɛ mu chi kooshɛ yo aju kane le gɛ?”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?”

19Wu biih lɛ, “Mwɛɛ mù la?” Bo chvuu lɛ, “Mwɛɛ mù chi kooshɛ bɛ Jiso wu Nasalɛ. Muh wunɛ chi bee muh wu ntuŋ wu Nyo. Mwɛɛ mù wu chi gee mo mù wu chi jɛme chi bee mù ghage. Chi bee muh wù kuge baaŋ a Nyo fwe bɛ bamii bachii.“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.

20Bachiji kintanyɛ ba baaŋ baaŋ bɛ bamii ba sage woŋ wese chi bo nya wu lɛ ba yuuyɛ. Bo chi bo mo bo ta wu yi kintaaŋ le.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Bee chi be gɛɛ wa bvufee yi ye ye le, lɛ le wu wù lé wu gê wu sûuŋ bamii ba Ishwala chiaaŋ yi ŋgɛ le. Geenɛ le ge wa aju atade no mwɛɛ muyu chi kooshɛ.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.

22Fimi nyu bikɛse bamu ŋgoo yese le, bo be bo jɛmɛ fi fuuŋsɛ lo bee, lɛ bo le bo bu bo gɛɛŋ fɛ jɛŋ ataana,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

24Bamii bamu ŋgoo yese le, le bo gɛɛŋ fɛ jɛŋ fɛ yu bo yɛŋ yi le gɛh yɛɛŋyɛɛŋ no bikɛse bayu be jɛmɛ, geenɛ, bo baaŋ yɛŋ gɛ Jiso le gɛ.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Jiso jɛmɛ bo le lɛ, “O oo, biyuŋ binɛ, muntele mwɛna jiɛɛ baaŋ ki bɛŋ bɛ̂ɛŋ mwɛɛ mù bamii ba ntuŋ wu Nyo gɛ̀ jɛme.Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Gɛ bɛŋ kee lɛ Mbvusɛ wù Nyo gɛ̀ ka gɛ̀ kɛme ki wu yɛ̂ŋ baŋgɛ fɛ wu lee yi bvukugɛ bwe le gɛ?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Jiso mo wu kɛ wu naji bo mwɛɛ munchii mù ba gɛ̀ saŋ a Ŋwa wu Nyo le kune wu kɛge yi mù Musɛ gɛ̀ saŋ le, gɛɛŋ bu tɛ yi mu bamii ba ntuŋ wu Nyo le.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28No bo gɛ̀ too wa bo bude mbebe ntɛ wu bo gɛ̀ gɛɛne yo le, Jiso ja wu tu wù gee njɛ wu fede lo.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Bo lɛgɛ wu wesee bo jɛmɛ lɛ, “Bee gɛ̂ɛŋ be chê, kife le ki gɛɛŋ ka baaŋ, akfuuŋ kɛ wa a jimɛ.” Noo, wu bɛɛŋ ki wu gɛ̂ɛŋ wu che bɛ bo.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.

30Bo gɛɛŋ, bo doo bo jii mwɛɛ, wu jo chefe yi blɛd, wu nya kiyone Nyo le, wu bwɛɛyɛ wu nya bo le.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Kimimia noo, ajii aboo yuu, bo mo bo kɛɛ wu. Wu jaŋɛ wu lɛsɛ a bo jii.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Bo shɛɛ bo tu bo maŋe lɛbolɛbo lɛ, “Gɛ muntele mwesa besa wo be yuufe sege wu be jɛme besa wo le a je, wu naji mwɛɛ mu a Ŋwa wu Nyo le gɛ?”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?”

33Bo mo bo ja kimimia kinfu kɛɛ le juu chi yu bo mo bo tuu jiŋ Yɛlusalɛm. Bo doo bo gɛɛŋ, bo yɛŋ booŋ ba Jiso ba ŋgoo ba yuufe ncho wu mumwaa le bo banyɛ ye kijusɛ ki mumwaa bɛ bamii bamu bo gɛ̀ kɛ bo bii wu le.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Bo jɛme lɛ, “Nchiɛɛŋ nchiɛɛŋ, Tada wese le wu bu yi kwe le. Wu bee wu jagɛ wu bunɛ a Samoŋ jii.”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Bo mo bo sɛɛŋ tɛ bo fiɛɛ fì be kooshɛ bɛ bo a je, bo mo bo najɛ tɛ no bo be kɛlɛ lɛ le wu, sege wu be bwɛɛyɛ blɛd.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Gɛh no bo gɛ̀ baaŋ bo jɛme noo, Jiso jagɛ wu bunɛ a bo antɛnɛɛ wu mo wu yɛsɛ bo le lɛ, “Kimbonɛ nyûme fɛ bɛŋ le.”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Njaŋ koo bo, bo tu bo faane, bo kwaji lɛ bo le bo yɛŋ nyu kiyi kimi le.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Wu biih bo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ faane la? Ge la fɛ bɛŋ maŋɛ mɛ?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Bɛŋ jîŋɛ bɛŋ yɛ̂ŋ chiaaŋ yaŋ bɛ bikaa biaŋ, bɛŋ mo bɛŋ kɛɛ lɛ le mɛ kibɛɛ. Bɛŋ monyɛ ye yaŋ bɛŋ mo bɛŋ kɛɛ, nje gɛ kiyi to ki kɛme nyaŋ yi ye bɛ biŋkufɛ no bɛŋ yɛde ŋkɛme nɛ gɛ.”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.”

40No wu jɛme noo, wu mo wu dunyɛ chiaaŋ ye bɛ bikaa bie bo le.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Bo bijɛ Jiso, njoŋ yuuyɛ lo bo, bo mo bo ŋgɛsɛ lo. Fi ya bo ki bo bɛɛŋ lɛ le wu. Wu ja wu biih bo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ kɛme fiɛɛ fijile fɛnɛ?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Bo jo kinchiŋ ki biɛŋ yi ba yoŋ wa, bo nya wu le.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Wu fi wu ji a bo jii.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Wu mo wu jɛmɛ bo le lɛ, “Mwɛɛ munɛ mu bɛŋ yɛŋ abɛŋ le mu mù ŋgɛ̀ njɛme bɛŋ le kune mu mbaaŋ besabɛŋ.

45Wu mo wu gwenyɛ bvufee bvuboo, bo kɛɛ mwɛɛ mu le a Ŋwa wu Nyo le.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Ba le ba saŋ lɛ Mbvusɛ wù Nyo gɛ̀ ka kɛme ki wu yɛ̂ŋ ŋgɛ wu kwe, doo ge aju atade, wu bu yi kwe le.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
