Luke 24 (SBS) · Opened

1Haba fuma ku makalo e nviki, ci baya kwi bita ku leta mafuta a nunka a baba lukisi.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Baba wani ivwe ci lya pindumunwa kwi bita.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Cibe njila mukati, mi kana baba wani citunta ca Jesu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Ci kwa tendahala bulyo, haba ba kusi lyangene nezo, kapilipili bakwame bobele ciba zimana ha mbali nebo muzizabalo zi benya.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Banakazi babe zwile ku tiya ciba kubama hansi cha zi fateho zabo, ci ba wamba ku Banakazi “chinzi hamu saka bahala ku ba fwile?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?

6Ka kwina munu, Mi ca buswa, muhupule mwa ba wambili na sina mwa Galilea,He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7Chati mwana we Ireeza ka hewe mu mayanza aba tenda zibi ni ku mu kokotela, Imi ke zuba lya butatu ka buke.”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Banakazi ciba hupula manzwi akwe,Then they remembered His words.

9ciba zwa kwi bita ni kuka wamba zintu zonse ku balutwana ni bantu bonse.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Linu, Maria Madgalena, Joana, ni Mary nyina wa James ni bamwi Banakazi ciba biha zintu zonse ku ba Apositola.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Imi i impiho ciya bonala kusa zuweka hande kuba Apositola, imi kana bab zumini zi baba wambi Banakazi.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Pitrosi cha zima niku tilila kwi bita, cha zima niku lola mukati, aba boni fela majila fela. Pitrosi aba boli ku Munzi na komoketwe chiba tendahali.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.

13Celyo izuba balutwana bobele baba kuya ku munzi uba ku sumpwa Emmaus, ubena makumi ena i yanza ni kumi lyonke lye stadia kwa Jerusalema.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14ciba ambola ni bamwi cezo zi ba tendahali.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Kuba tendahali kuti haba ba ku wamba ni kuli buza Jesu cha li bonahaza ku bali.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Imi menso abo aba ku kangwa ku mwi ziba.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Jesu aba wambi ku bali, “chinzi inwe mu wamba mu bobele cimu ya buyenda?” Chiba zima ni ku lola ni ba swabite,He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Zumwi kubali we zina lya Cleopas ca mwi taba, “Kana njewe u muntu wenke mwa Jerusalema ya sezi zintu zi ba tendahali mwa anu mazuba?”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?”

19Jesu ca wamba ku bali, “zintu zihi”? Ciba mwi taba, Zintu zi amana ni Jesu wa Nazareta, yabali Mupolofita, we misebezi mu manzwi, habusu bwa mulimu ne chisi.“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.

20Lyahanu ba Prisita ba kulwana ni Bayendisi, mumu baba mubetekeli ni ku mu nyansa kuti a kokotelwe ni kwi haiwa.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Imi tuba hupwile kuti njete na lukulule Israele. yee, nihakuba bulyo izi celi izuba lyo butatu kuzwa zonse zintu ha zi tendahala.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.

22Kono banakazi bamwi be nkopano baba tukomokisi, kaku pakelela kwi bita,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23Imi kana baba ka mu wani chitunta, baba boli chi bakati nabo ba ba boni impono ya Mangeloi baba wambi kuti u hala.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.

24Bamwi ba Kwame mukati ketu baba yendi kwi bita, ciba kawana muba ba teli Banakazi, kono kana baba ka mu wani.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Jesu aba wambi kubali kuti, Mawe inwe bantu musa zuwisisi bene inkulo zi lyeha ku lemuha ziwambo za ba wambi mupolofita.Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Kana kena kubali kwa butokwa kuti Jesu a nyandiswe ni kwi njila mwi kanya,Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Kwi ntazi ku zwa kwa Mushe ku ya ku baprofita bonse, Jesu caba tolokela zintu ku amana naye mu mañolo.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Hachi ba ba sutelele ku munzi ku baba kuya, Jesu aba tendi ubu aba kusi zwila habusu,As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29kono chiba mu cho kuti, “wi kale neswe, imi celi chitengu ni zuba chiliya kuku mina” linu Jesu cha bola mukati kwi kala nabo.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.

30Ku ba tendahali kuti haba kala naye ku lya, cha hinda chinkwa ku chi fuyola ni ku chi komauna cha baha,While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Linu menso abo aba tondi ni chi ba mwi ziba, Imi cha zwa mu menso abo,Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Chiba wamba kuzumwi ni zumwi, “kana inkulo kazi bili mukati ketu? Ha wamba kwetu munzila, ha tu wumbwila mañolo.”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?”

33Chiba zima che nako iyo ni ku yenda kwa Jerusalema, chi ba wana Balutwana bena ikumi ni yenke ni bamwi ba bena nabo,And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34chi bati initi Jesu aba buki ni ku libonekisa kwa Simoni,and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35chi ba wamba zintu zonse ziba tendahali mwi nzila, ni Jesu mwa ba tondelezwa ni kamo Jesu haba ku komauna chinkwa.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Haba ba ku wamba bulyo, Jesu cha zima mukati kabo, cha wamba ku bali chati “Ku sanga kube ne nwe”.While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Kono baba bi ni sabo niku tiya ahulu, ni ku bonala kuti ba bona luhuho lu jolola.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Jesu aba wambi ku bali, “Chinzi hamu bilela, ni kuba ni puzo mwi nkulo zenu?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Mu bone mu mayanza angu ni matende kuti njeme. Muni wonde niku ni lola, sina luhuho lu jolola halu sena inyama ne zi fuha sina muni kalile me”.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.”

40Ha wamba bulyo aba ba tondezi mayanza ni matende a kwe.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Haba ba kwina mu ku sa zumina bakeñisa cha ku sanga bulyo niku komokwa Jesu cha wamba ku bali mwina chimwi chete mulye?While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Chiba muha chiyemba che nswi zi jichitwe,So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Jesu cha hinda ni kulya mubusu bwa bo.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Aba wambi ku bali, “kuti hani bena nenwe, ni ba mi wambile kuti zonse ziba ñolwa ka mulawo wa Mushe ni we chiprofita ni manolo a Lisamu e zuzilizwe”.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.”

45Cwale che yalula ingana zabo, kuti ba zuwisise mañolo.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Aba wambi kubali kuti, “chiba ñoletwe kuti Jesu u swanela ku nyandiswa ni ku buka ku ba fwile che zuba lyo butatu.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Niku bakila zibi zetu kuti tu swalele, zi swanela kukutazwa mwi zina lyakwe ku zisi zonse, ku matango a Jerusalema.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Mumpaki wezi zintu.You are witnesses of these things.

49Mubone, nimi tumina zaba sepisi Tayo. Kono mu shale mu Muleneñi konji chi mwa bwikwa ni inguzu zi zwa kwi wulu.”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.”

50Cwale Jesu cha ba hitila mane kuka sika ha fwihi ni Bethani. Mi cha zimika mayanza no ku ba fuyaula.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Ku ba tendahali kuti haba kuba fuyola aba siyi ni ku hindwa kwi wulu.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Linu chiba mu lapelela kaku sanga ni ku bola kwa Jerusalema ke cha ku sanga.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Chiba zwila ha busu mwi inkeleke ku temba Ireeza.praising God continually in the temple.
