Luke 24 (NKN) · Opened

1Omo kuacele lia calumingo vampuevo vaile ku cihilo, vambate mazi avavuahesele.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Kaha vauanene livue liakama vana lihumisa ku cikolo ca cihilo.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Kaha vakovelelemo vuno honi kuuanenemo muvila ua Muene Yesu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Vemanene kuje te valikomokela, kaha hajevene kuasholokele vamala vavali mu vuzalo vuakuviakuma kuli vakevo.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Vaje vampuevo vovuile liova cikuma kaha vakotamene ha mavu, vaje vamala vavehuile nguavo, “Vika mutondela muka muono ku vantsi?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?

6Uahiko kuno nasanguka laja. Vulukeni muje muahandekele kuli yeni tele ali ku Ngalileya.He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7‘Muna Muntu vaka muhana mu mavako a vantu vavupi, kaha vaka mushukika, a kasanguka hanima ya matangua atatu.’ ”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Kaha vampuevo vavulukile mezi endi.Then they remembered His words.

9Kaha vahumine kuje ku cihilo vakalekele viuma vioshe vivamuene kuli vaje likumi na umo lia vandongisi na vakuavo voshe.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Vaje vampuevo vapuile Maliya Mangandalena, na Njuana, na Maliya vaina ya Yakomba na vampuevo vakuavo valekele evi viuma kuli tunganda va Yesu.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Vuno honi tunganda vasinganiekele nge vije vivahandekele vampuevo keti viaseho kaha kuva vakulahelele.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Vuno honi Petulu uakatukile na kushatukila ku cihilo, uakotamenenemo kaha uamuenemo lika vintanga na ceka cahi. Kaha uahilukile kuimbo na kulikomokela ha viuma vije via lingiuile.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.

13Ha litangua lijevene vandongisi vavali va Yesu vendele kuya ku limbo lije liivatumbuile nguavo Emausi, ntunda yakele matambo likumi na imo kuhuma ku Yelusalema.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Vakele nakuhandeka ha viuma vioshe vije vialingiuile.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Tele vacili nakuhandeka na kuliyongola, Yesu uezile hayehi navo nakuenda navo.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Vamumuene vuno honi kuvamutantekeyele.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Yesu uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Vimpande muka muli nakuhandeka oku muenda?” Vemanene kaha vihanga viavo viasolokele mu vusiua.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Kaha umo uavo lizina liendi Kolopase, uamukumbuluile nguendi, “Yove lika mungezi muno mu Yelusalema uje katantekeya vinapangika ha matangua ano.”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?”

19Kaha uavehuile nguendi, “Viuma muka?” Vamutavele nguavo, “Via Yesu uaku Nazaleta. Yala ou uapuile kananguizi ka Njambi na vantu voshe vamutavele kupua muka nzili mu viuma vioshe uahandekele na vije via lingile na Njambi uamu kulahelele.“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.

20Kaha tusasendote vakama na vakakuyula vamuhanene kuli Nguvulu ua Maloma linga vamutsihe, kaha vamushukikile ha cilindakano.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Tuakele na likulahelo nguetu ikeye akapatula Isaleli! Kaha lelo linapu litangua lia mucitatu kuhuma haje vialingiuile viuma evi.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.

22Vampuevo vamo hhakati ketu vatukomokesele, vamenekelele ku cihilo cimenemene,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23vuno honi kuvakauanene muvila uendi. Kaha vahilukile nguavo vakamuene cimona ca tungelo vaje vavalekele nguavo hali nakuyoya.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.

24Kaha vamo hakati ketu vaileko ku cihilo, kaha vakauanene nge muje muvahandekelele vaje vampuevo, vuno honi kuvamumuene.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Kaha Yesu uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Yeni vilema, vaka kusimbula kutsiliela vije vioshe vivahandekele tunanguizi va Njambi va Njambi!Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Nkumani Kilistu kapande kuyanda ha viuma evi nakukovela mu vumpau vuendi ndi?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Kaha Yesu uaputukile kuvalumbuinina vioshe viuma vije vahandekele mu visoneka hali ikeye, kuputuka na mavulu a Mosesa na kutuala ku visoneka via tunanguizi va Njambi va Njambi voshe.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Kaha omo vahete kuyehi na limbo kuje vakele nakuya, Yesu ualingile ngue atuvakana kamandende kuya kulutue,As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Vuno honi vamulombele na kuhandeka nguavo, “Tumama netu omuo cinguezi na litangua liatoko.” Kaha uaile na kukala navo.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.

30Uatumamene navo mukulia kaha uambatele mbolo naku ikuisula uaipazuile na kuvahana.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Kaha mesho avo ashokolokele vatantekeyele nguavo nkumani ikeye, vuno honi ualavukile ku mesho avo.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Kaha valihandekesele umo na mukuavo nguavo, “Nkumani mukemo mitima yetu yovuile kuvuahelela cikuma omo uakele nakuhandeka netu mu ngila na kutulumbunuina viuma viamu visoneka.”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?”

33Vakatukile ha ntsimbu ijevene vahilukile ku Yelusalema, vauanene vandongisi likumi na umo vanalikungulula na vaje vakuavo veka naua.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Vahandekele nguavo, “Mua vusunga vene Muene Yesu nasanguka! Nalisholola kuli Simoni!”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Kaha vaje vavali vambuluile vije vialingiuile mu ngila, nomu vatantekeyele nguavo nkuma ikeye Muene Yesu omo uatavuile mbolo.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Tele ntsimbu vaje vavali vakele nakuvaleka viuma evi, vuasi vuasi Yesu vavenia uemanene hakati kavo uahandekele nguendi, “Ciyulo cikale neni.”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Kaha vovuile liova cikuma, omuo vasikaniekele nguavo vanamono ndumba ya muntu.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Vuno honi uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Vikahoni munalijujukila? Omo vika muli na vimpata mu mitima yeni?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Taleni mavoko ange na mu viliato viange. Taleni yange vene. Njikuateni, kaha mutantekeya omuo nduma ya muntu kakele na ntsitu na vitsiha ngue evi muomono njili navio.”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.”

40Uahandekele evi na kuvamuesa mavoko na viliato viendi.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Cipue ngoco kuva kulahelele omuo vavuahelele cikuma na kulikomokela kaha Yesu uavehuile nguendi, “Muli na viakulia linga njilie ndi?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Kaha vamuhanene mbazuvuila ya intsi uakuoca.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Kaha uaitambuile na kulia ha mesho avo.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Kaha uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Evi vikevio viuma vije njamilekele omo njakele neni nguange viuma vioshe vije vasonekele hali yange mu Lishiko lia Mosesa, na visoneka via tunanguizi va Njambi va Njambi na mu miaso viapande kulishulisisa.”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.”

45Kaha uashokoluele mana avo linga vovuisise visonekaThen He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46na kuhandeka kuli vakevo nguendi, “Visoneka viahandeka nguavio, Kilistu napande kuyanda kaha akasanguka hanima ya matangua atatu.”And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Visoneka viahandeka naua nguavio linga kualuluka na lukonekelo lua vipi vaka viambulula mu lizina liendi ku mafuti oshe, kuputukila mu Yelusalema.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Yeni munapu muvakaleho ha viuma evi.You are witnesses of these things.

49Kaha yange njikatuma Cimbembesi Cakulele kuli yeni cije cakulahesele Tate. Muapande kuvandamena mu mbonge noho mukatambula nzili ei kuhuminina muilu.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.”

50Kaha uahumine navo mu mbonge uavatualele kuyehi na Mbeteniya kuje uajunduile mavoko endi naku vakuisula.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Tele hali nakuvakuisula, ualisezele navo nakumutuala muilu.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Vamushangazalele kaha vahilukile mu Yelusalema na kuvuahelela cikuma.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Kaha vakele ntsimbu yoshe mu njivo ya Njambi na kusantsela Njambi.praising God continually in the temple.
