Luke 24 (SWH1850)

1Jumapili, alfajiri na mapema, wale wanawake walikwenda kaburini wakichukua yale manukato waliyotayarisha.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Walikuta lile jiwe limeviringishwa mbali na kaburi.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Walipoingia ndani, hawakuona mwili wa Bwana Yesu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Walipokuwa bado wanashangaa juu ya jambo hilo, mara watu wawili waliovaa mavazi yenye kung'aa sana, wakasimama karibu nao.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Hao wanawake wakaingiwa na hofu, wakainama chini. Ndipo wale watu wakawaambia, “Kwa nini mnamtafuta aliye hai kati ya wafu?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?

6Hayuko hapa; amefufuka. Kumbukeni aliyowaambieni alipokuwa kule Galilaya:He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7Ni lazima Mwana wa Mtu atolewe kwa watu waovu, nao watamsulubisha, na siku ya tatu atafufuka.”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Hapo wanawake wakayakumbuka maneno yake,Then they remembered His words.

9wakarudi kutoka kaburini, wakawapa mitume wale kumi na mmoja na wengine habari za mambo hayo yote.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Hao waliotoa habari hizo kwa mitume ni: Maria Magdalene, Yoana na Maria mama wa Yakobo, pamoja na wanawake wengine walioandamana nao.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Mitume waliyachukua maneno hayo kama yasiyo na msingi, hivyo hawakuamini.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Lakini Petro alitoka, akaenda mbio hadi kaburini. Alipoinama kuchungulia ndani, akaiona tu ile sanda. Akarudi nyumbani huku akiwa anashangaa juu ya hayo yaliyotokea.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.

13Siku hiyohiyo, wawili kati ya wafuasi wake Yesu wakawa wanakwenda katika kijiji kimoja kiitwacho Emau, umbali wa kilomita kumi na moja kutoka Yerusalemu.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Wakawa wanazungumza juu ya hayo yote yaliyotukia.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Walipokuwa wakizungumza na kujadiliana, Yesu mwenyewe akatokea, akatembea pamoja nao.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Walimwona kwa macho, lakini hawakumtambua.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Akawauliza, “Mnazungumza nini huku mnatembea?” Nao wakasimama kimya, nyuso zao wamezikunja kwa huzuni.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Mmoja, aitwaye Kleopa, akamjibu, “Je, wewe ni mgeni peke yako Yerusalemu ambaye hujui yaliyotukia huko siku hizi?”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 akawajibu, “Mambo gani?” Wao wakamjibu, “Mambo yaliyompata Yesu wa Nazareti. Yeye alikuwa nabii mwenye uwezo wa kutenda na kufundisha mbele ya Mungu na mbele ya watu wote.“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.

20Makuhani na watawala wetu walimtoa ahukumiwe kufa, wakamsulubisha.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Lakini sisi tulitumaini kwamba yeye ndiye angeikomboa Israeli. Zaidi ya hayo yote, leo ni siku ya tatu tangu mambo hayo yalipotendeka.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.

22Tena, wanawake wengine wa kwetu wametushtua. Walikwenda kaburini mapema asubuhi,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23wasiukute mwili wake. Wakarudi wakasema kwamba walitokewa na malaika waliowaambia kwamba alikuwa hai.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.

24Wengine wetu walikwenda kaburini wakashuhudia yale waliyosema hao wanawake; ila yeye hawakumwona.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Mbona mu wapumbavu kiasi hicho na mioyo yenu ni mizito hivyo kusadiki yote yaliyonenwa na manabii?Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Je, haikumpasa Kristo kuteswa, na hivyo aingie katika utukufu wake?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Akawafafanulia mambo yote yaliyomhusu yeye katika Maandiko Matakatifu kuanzia Mose hadi manabii wote.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Walipokikaribia kile kijiji walikokuwa wanakwenda, Yesu akafanya kana kwamba anaendelea na safari;As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29lakini wao wakamsihi wakisema, “Kaa pamoja nasi, maana kunakuchwa, na usiku unakaribia.” Basi, akaingia kijijini, akakaa pamoja nao.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.

30Alipoketi kula chakula pamoja nao, akachukua mkate, akaubariki, akaumega, akawapa.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Mara macho yao yakafumbuliwa, wakamtambua; lakini yeye akatoweka kati yao.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Basi, wakaambiana, “Je, mioyo yetu haikuwa inawaka ndani yetu wakati alipokuwa anatufafanulia Maandiko Matakatifu kule njiani?”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?”

33Wakaondoka saa ileile, wakarudi Yerusalemu: wakawakuta wale mitume kumi na mmoja na wale wengine waliokuwa pamoja nao, wamekusanyikaAnd they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34wakisema, “Hakika Bwana amefufuka, amemtokea Simoni.”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Basi, hao wafuasi wawili wakawajulisha yale yaliyowapata njiani, na jinsi walivyomtambua katika kumega mkate.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Wanafunzi wote wawili walipokuwa wakiwaambia hayo, Yesu mwenyewe akasimama kati yao, akawaambia “Amani kwenu.”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Wakashtuka na kushikwa na hofu wakidhani wameona mzimu.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnafadhaika? Mbona mnakuwa na mashaka mioyoni mwenu?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Angalieni mikono na miguu yangu, ya kwamba ni mimi mwenyewe. Nipapaseni mkanione, maana mzimu hauna mwili na mifupa kama mnionavyo.”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.”

40Baada ya kusema hayo, akawaonyesha mikono na miguu.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Wakiwa bado katika hali ya kutosadiki kwa sababu ya furaha yao, na wakiwa wanastaajabu, akawauliza, “Mnacho chakula chochote hapa?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Wakampa kipande cha samaki wa kuokwa.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Akakichukua, akala, wote wakimwona.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Halafu akawaambia, “Hii ndiyo maana ya maneno niliyowaambia nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi: kwamba ilikuwa lazima kukamilisha yote yaliyoandikwa juu yangu katika Sheria ya Mose na katika vitabu vya manabii na katika kitabu cha Zaburi.”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.”

45Kisha, akaziangazia akili zao ili wapate kuelewa Maandiko Matakatifu.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Akawaambia, “Ndivyo ilivyoandikwa, kwamba Kristo atateswa na siku ya tatu atafufuka kutoka wafu,And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47na kwamba ni lazima, kwa jina lake, mataifa yote kuanzia na Yerusalemu yahubiriwe juu ya kutubu na kusamehewa dhambi.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Ninyi ni mashahidi wa mambo hayo.You are witnesses of these things.

49Nami mwenyewe nitawapelekeeni yule ambaye Baba aliahidi kumtuma, lakini ngojeni huku mjini mpaka mtakapopewa ile nguvu itokayo juu.”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.”

50Kisha akawaongoza nje ya mji hadi Bethania, akainua mikono yake juu, akawabariki.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Alipokuwa anawabariki, akawaacha; akachukuliwa mbinguni.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Wao wakamwabudu, wakarudi Yerusalemu wakiwa na furaha kubwa:And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53wakakaa muda wote Hekaluni wakimsifu Mungu.praising God continually in the temple.
