Luke 24 (SHR) · Opened

1Olusiku lurhanzi lw’omugobe mucêracêra, bajà ebwa cûsho, erhi badwîrhe gulya mugavu bâli barheganyize.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Bashimâna ibuye lihirisirwe lirhanaciri oku nshinda.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Ci erhi bajà omu cûsho, barhashimânagamwo omubiri gwa Nyakasane Yezu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Erhi babà badwîrhe barhanya emurhima kuli okwo, babonekerwa na bantu babiri bayambîrhe emyambalo myêru ikungè.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Banaciyôboha banayûnika obusù oku idaho. (Balya bantu babiri) bababwîra, mpu: «Ewe, ci mwalongeza ozîne omu bafù?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?

6“Kali arhaciri hano; afûsire. Mukengêre oku ammubwîraga amango aciri e Galileya, mpu”:He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7“Kukwânîne Mwene-omuntu ahânwe omu maboko g’abanya-byâha, abambwe oku musalaba, n’olwa kasharhu afûke”».‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Banacikengêra enderho zâge.Then they remembered His words.

9Erhi barhenga ebwa cûsho, baganîrira balya ikumi na muguma n’abandi boshi ebyo byoshi.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10(Abo bakazi) bâli Mariya Magadalena, na Yowana, na Mariya, nnina wa Yakôbo. N’abandi bakazi bali haguma nabo, nabo bakubwîra entumwa.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Ci ebyo binwa babilola nka by’isirhe, barhanabiyêmêraga.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Kwônene Petro alîkûla, akanyîriza ebwa cûsho. Ci erhi ayinama mpu ahengûze, arhabonaga erhali myenda yônene. Ashub’icîgalukira, aj’azanwa n’ebyo byabîre.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.

13Olwo lusiku lwônênè, babiri muli bo bajaga omu lugo lwa lugendo lwa stadi makumi gali ndarhu kurhenga e Yeruzalemu. Olwo lugo izîno lyâlwo lwo Emausi.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Bakâg’ishambâla emyanzi ya kulya kwoshi kwabîre.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Lêro erhi babà badwîrhe basbambâla n’okudalika, Yezu yenênè abayegera, bagenzikanwa.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Cikwône amasù gâbo garhabashigimubona.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Anacibabwîra, erhi: «Myanzi mici eyi mwayisha mwaganîra bugenda-njira munali burhè?»He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Muguma muli bo, ye Kleofasi, amushuza, erhi: «Lêro wamâbà wêne omu banya-Yeruzalemu w’okurhamanya ebizind’ibà mw’ezi nsiku!»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?”

19Naye, erhi: «Bici ebyo?» Nabo bamushuza, mpu: «Ebiyêrekîre Yezu w’e Nazareti. Ali mulêbi munya-buhashe omu bijiro n’omu nderho embere za Nyamuzinda n’ez’abantu boshi,“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.

20n’oku abajinji b’abadâhwa n’abakulu bîrhu bamuhânaga mpu atwîrwe okufà, banamubamba oku musalaba.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Rhwàli rhumanyire nti ye wayôkola Israheli; n’ene lwo lusiku lwa kasharhu kurhenga bibîre ntyo!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.

22Ciru bakazi baguma b’emwîrhu barhufudusize. Ene sêzi mucêracêra bâli ebwa cûsho;Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23n’ene babula omubiri gwâge, bayish’iderha mpu babonekîrwe na bamalahika, bababwîra mpu ali mugumagumà.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.

24Baguma muli rhwe bajîre ebwa cûsho, bashimâna okwo balya bakazi baderhaga kwo n’okwo; ci yênene barhamubwîne!»Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Obwo anacibabwîra, erhi: «Abà bahwinjà n’ab’emirhima mizibu oku kuyêmêra ebyaderhagwa n’Abalêbi!Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Ewe! ka kurhàli kukwânîne Kristu ababale ntyo lyo ajà omu irenge lyâge?»Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Arhondêrera kuli Mûsa n’Abalêbi boshi, abahugûla ngasi byoshi byàli bimuyêrekîre omu Mândiko.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Erhi bayegera lulya lugo bàjagamwo, ajira nka owajà kuli kulusha.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Banamusêza, mpu: «Bera haguma nîrhu, bulya bikola bijingo bwamânayira». Anacijà omu lugo mpu abêre haguma 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.

30Erhi abà akola ali oku cîbo haguma nabo, anaciyanka omugati, avuga omunkwa, agugisha, n’erhi abà amagubega, abagabira.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Amasù gâbo gazibûka, bamumanyirira; ci yêhe anacihirigirha omu masù gâbo.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Banacijânamwo, mpu: «Ewa! k’emirhima yîrhu erhakag’iyâka ene akarhuganîza omu njira n’okurhuhugûlira Amandiko?»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?”

33Ho na halya bagandûla, bashubira e Yeruzalemu, bashimâna balya bànali boshi.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Banacibabwîra, mpu: «Kwo binali! Nyakasane afûsire, anabonekîre Simoni!»and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Nabo babaganûlira oku byàbâga omu njira n’oku bamumanyaga omu kubega omugati.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Oku banacidwîrhe baganîra ntyo, Yezu apamuka ekarhî kâbo, ababwîra, erhi: «Omurhûla kuli mwe!»While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Banacijuguma, bageramwo omusisi mpu bamayagânwa n’omuzimu.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Anacibabwîra, erhi: «Cirhumire muyôboha n’entanya zimmuja emurhima?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Loli amaboko n’amagulu gâni, oku nie ono nienênè! Mummamarhe, mulole; bulya omuzimu arhajira mubiri erhi rhuvuha nk’oku mubwîne mbigwêrhe».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.”

40Erhi abà adwîrhe aderha ntyo, abayêreka amaboko n’amagulu gâge.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Balahira kwayêmêra erhi mwîshingo gurhuma, banakazânwa. Anacibabwîra, erhi: «Ka ntà cirîbwa mugwêrhe hano?»While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Ba muhereza ecihimbi c’enfî nyôce.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Aciyanka, acirya banabona.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Okubundi anacibabwîra, erhi: «Byo nakâg’immubwîra ebi erhi nciri haguma ninyu: oku kuhika ebinayandikiragwa omu citabu ca Mûsa n’omu Balêbi n’omu Nnanga biyunjule».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.”

45Obwo abalangaza obukengêre lyo bayumva Amandiko.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Ababwîra, erhi: «Kristu àli ayandikîrwe okubabala n’okufûka omu bafù olusiku lwa kasharhu;And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47“n’oku amashanja goshi, kurhondêrera e Yeruzalemu, gâyigîrizibwa obucîyunjuze bw’okubabalirwa ebyâha oku Izîno lyâge”.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48“Ninyu mwe muli bahamîrizi b’okwo”.You are witnesses of these things.

49“Nkolaga nâni nammurhumira olya walaganyibagwa na Larha”. “Mwêhe mubêre muli cino cishagala kuhika mubwîkwe n’obuzibu bw’enyanya!”»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.”

50Anacibahulukana, abahêka olunda lw’e Betaniya; alambûla amaboko, abagisha.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Oku adwîrhe abagisha, anacicîyêgûla kuli bo, amânamânwa omu malunga.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Nabo erhi babà bamâharâmya, bashubira e Yeruzalemu bashagalusire bwenêne.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Barhàrhengaga omu ka-Nyamuzinda bakuza Nnâmahanga n’okumuvuga omunkwa.praising God continually in the temple.
