Luke 24 (UTR) · Opened

1Mi egbe ongwi ababɔ mi ikyidu, mi egbegbe byibyiibyi, engyaa ntona kye ungwɔ ogbungbɛ yi engyie ngwi a mɛ ma, kɛ endzi.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2A kɛ ka di a kyi mulu ikwutsɛ ma mi ondendzi,They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Ngwi a kaka ele nɛ, a tu ikwɔ mgbi Otsɛ iYesu ba.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Dafi a le tsɛwɛ mi ele nɛ, vla nɛta engyulɔ nghi efa kwulɛsɛ kwɛkwɛ yi ama, wo angwuto onzundzɛ dafi mmbwo onaabɔ mani.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Imio wo engyaa ntona ta a si kye inɛ kwɛsɛ, engyulɔ ntona nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Kyɔnɛ ngwi ema le pita inggisɛ oshishe mi imbe emi ikwukwɔ?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?

6O dzɛ mmɛnɛ ba; o kyɛɛ mi ikwu! Wɛ dafi o tsekise nya ema, ngwi o ka dzɛ yi ema mi iGalalia mani gbɛɛ:He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7<A ka kye Ongwɛ Inggisɛ wo emi ali ibwubwe abɔ kyɛmɛ, a ka gbokwon mi ekwatsi nghataa o ka kwulu, kpaa mi egbe ongwu ta ma o ka kyɛɛ mi ikwu.> >>‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Ta engyaa ntona wɛ elodzɛ mgban.Then they remembered His words.

9Ngwi a yɛ mi endzi luba nɛ, a kye ungwɔ ntonɛ duu kye nya ama ogbikye iYesu iwyodonyi ntonani bɛyi angbeka duu.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Li iMeri iMagidalin yi iJoana bɛyi iMeri onɔ iJɛnsi, bɛyi angbeka nto yi ama, nya ama ogbikye iYesu odzɛ nɛni.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Nghaduu ama ogbikye iYesu nu engyaa ntona oyɛyɛ ba, ikyekyɛ elodzɛ mgbi ama dzɛ dafi li odzɛ ikwangha mani.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Nɛ iPyita kyato tsinya lu mi endzi. O ka klɛsɛ di mi idzidzɛ endzi man di angwuto ngwi a kye ikwɔ mgbi iYesu ndiwo ma lato yuoma, ta o si yɛ lu, le tsɛwɛ yuon ungwɔ nkyɔ nani.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.

13Nɛ mi egbe nata ama okyɛdɔ iYesu efa le kɛ agwɔ oka ngwi a li kwun di Emau, ngwi mɛ dafi imai egyafa sini okyɛɛ kɛ iJerosalin.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14A le kponya yi ewoma mi ungwɔ ama nkyɔ duu.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Dafi a le gbɔdzɛ dile kponya mi ungwɔ ntonɛ yi ewoma nɛ, iYesu abuon ba wa wafɔ yi ama;And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16kpaa a tukwu ma inɛ odifwin.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Nɛ iYesu byi ma gbɛɛ, <<Li ekyɛ ngwi ema le gbɔ le kɛ?>> A kwulɛsɛ, a shɛ inɛ ta ba.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Onyi mbi ama efa na, ongwu a li kwun di iKlopa, byun gbɛɛ, <<Li abu ta li ingyoga mi iJerosalin ngwu ye ungwɔ ama nkyɔ mi egbe ntonɛ ba dɛɛn?>>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?”

19Nghaduu iYesu byita gbɛɛ, <<Li alungwɔ?>> A gbɛɛ, <<Li odzɛ mgbi iYesu inggisɛ ongwi iNadzareti. O li oyegbɔ, elodzɛ mgban dzɛ yi mfye bɛyi okyɔɔkyɔ mi inai Imgbasho yi inggisɛ duu.“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.

20Engyukwo ama ofifɛ mgbi Imgbasho bɛyi ama ogbe eyi teyi kyon nu ama ndzɛ yi mfye nu ma ngwɔn ikwɔ ikwongye, di kyon gbokwo mi ekwatsi;Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Ma eyi gbekabyi gbɛɛ o li ongwu nkyɛ owa dulu emi Israi watɔ mani. Ma li ekyɛ oka, nghaduu li egbe ongwu ta inɛ ngwi ungwɔ ntonɛ kyɔ waani.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.

22Nghanɛ, engyaa angbeka mi idzidzɛ mgbi eyi kyungwɔ okwulu eyi ewo. A kɛ endzi mi egbegbe ototu nɛni,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23kpaa yama tu ikwɔ mgban ba. A yɛ ba wa nya eyi gbɛɛ di ama di inɛ odiidi mgbi engyesɔ, ngwu nya ma gbɛɛ o dzɛ oshishe.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.

24Nɛ emideyi angbeka kɛ endzi ka di dafi engyaa ntona tsekise gbɔ mani, nghaduu ongwu yɔ a din ba.>>Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Ta iYesu nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Kyɔnɛ ema li ikwangha ngha, di kyɔnɛ ngwi ema kyɔ itukwu lɔɔ onoyɛyɛ mi alungwɔ ngwi ama ogbɛɛsɛ gbɔ dzɛ esɛ ngha?Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Dzɛ mbisɔ ngwi iKrestu ma ka gbiisɔ mi ungwɔ ntonɛ diyɛ kaka udɛ mgban okwɔkwɔ mi esho baa?>>Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27O si nu ma osa mi ungwɔ ngwi Afɛ gbɔ mi ikye ongwu, wita mbi iMose bɛyi oyegbɔ angbeka duu.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Dafi a dzɛ kwɛkwɛ okaka agwɔ ngwi a le kɛ ma nɛ, iYesu kyɔ dafi o ka nyɛ lu iyayi mani.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Nghaduu a tɛkyɛ yan kpakpa gbɛɛ, <<dzɛ yi eyi, bana onɔ dzɛ kwɛkwɛ ogbɛsɛ egbe inɛ nɛ kpaa le ngyɛ wa.>> Man iYesu kaka ikye oka dzɛ yi ama.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.

30Ngwi o sɔkɛ ogye ungwogye yi ama nɛ, o kyi kyelu ibredi, kye mse bɛ ele, kye mwalu si kye nu ma.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Ta inɛ mgbi ama kwulu a si difwin, man o byulu wo ma inɛ.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Engwafɔ ntona byi ewoma gbɛɛ, <<Ngwi o le gbɔdzɛ yi eyi mi ofɛ le kɛ dile nu eyi osa mi ungwɔ ngwi Afɛ gbɔ ma, itukwu gbɛɛgbɛ lo eyi baa?>>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?”

33A si kyato akponyi yɛ luba iJerosalin. A wa tu iwyodonyi ntona bɛyi angbeka kwakye to imbe naniAnd they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34di gbɛɛ, <<Li otsitsi! Otsɛ iYesu kyɛɛ mi ikwu, o di mblegba tu iSaimɔn.>>and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Ta ama okyɛdɔ iYesu efa ntona nya ma ungwɔ ngwi kyɔ mi ofɛ, dafi ama di difwi iYesu mi onɔ ngwi o kye mwalu ibredi mani.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Mi onɔ ngwi a kale gbɔdzɛ mi ikye ungwɔnɛ nɛ, iYesu abuon kwudzɛ mi idzidzɛ mgbi ama di gbɔ yi ama gbɛɛ, <<Iyu no dzɛ yi ema.>>While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Nɛ i kwulu ma ewo imio di wo ma kpakpa, a le tsɛwɛ gbɛɛ ama di onodzi inggisɛ ikwukwɔ.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Ta iYesu nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Kyɔsinɛ ngwi i le kaka ema ewo, ngwi itukwu di dzɛ ema efefa ngha?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Di abɔ yi afɔ mgbi ani na. Li ani abuen! Ema kye abɔ gbo ani di; bana onodzi inggisɛ ikwukwɔ dzɛ yi ikpewo yi akpukpu dafi ema di ani dzɛyan nɛ ba.>>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.”

40Ngwi o gbɔdzɛ nɛ mata, o kye abɔ yi afɔ mgban tso ma.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Dafi a kale noyɛyɛ mi ele ba ikye gbɛɛ i kwulu ma ewo a di dzɛ yi atsa nɛ, o byi ma gbɛɛ, <<Ema dzɛ yi ungwɔ ogyeegye mmɛnɛ wɛ?>>While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42A si kye ambulu mmbweni oshaasha yi ikpɔkpewo nun,So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43man o kye gye mi inai ma.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44O nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Nɛnɛ li ungwɔ ngwi ani nya ema onɔ ngwi ani ka dzɛ yi ema mani: Alungwɔ ngwi a lɔ mi ola mgbi iMose bɛyi olɔɔlɔ mgbi ama ogbɛɛsɛ yi iPaslami duu mbwumbwo kyɛmɛ mi ikpewo ani.>>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.”

45Nɛ o kwulu ma itukwu onu ma difwi Afɛ mgbi Imgbasho,Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46o nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Nɛnɛ li ungwɔ ngwi a lɔ ma aani: iKrestu ma ka gyadzɛ di kwulu di kyɛɛ mi ikwu mi egbe ongwu ta,And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47nɛ a kale gbeesɔ mgbi itukwu okyata-kyata bɛyi odzata inggisɛ yi ali ibwubwe mi iyi mgban mi ɛsɛ duu, wita mi iJerosalin.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Ema li obwɛndɛ mi ungwɔ ntonɛni.You are witnesses of these things.

49Ani ka kye ungwɔ ngwi Otsani Imgbasho zondu ma kye dɛsɔ nu ema; kpaa tila to ogalu iJerosalin na nghataa ni Imgbasho wa kye mfye mi esho nu ema se.>>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.”

50Onɔ ngwi iYesu gbe engwafɔɔn tasɛ lu iBetani nɛ, o kyile abɔ esho di kye mse bɛ ma ewo.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Ngwi o kye mse le bɛ ma ewo nɛ, o dzata ma ta a si kyon lu esho.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Ta a sunun diyɛ luba iJerosalin yi atsa kpakpa.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Nɛ a kiyayi otsɛ Imgbasho mi ozu okwukwo osunu Imgbasho mi iJerosalin, alegbe-alegbe.praising God continually in the temple.
