Luke 24 (XNJ) · Opened

1Ligono la Dominika, lukela hamba kucha, vadala vala vakahamba kulitinda, kuni vagegi mayewani na mahuta gakunungalila gevatendekili.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Vakoli liganga lila libilindwisi patali kuhuma pakuyingila mulitinda.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Hinu, pavayingili mugati, vayiwene lepi higa ya Bambu Yesu.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Pevavi vakona vikangasa ndava ya lijambu lenilo, bahapo vandu vavili vevawalili nyula za kung'asima neju vakahumila papipi yavi.While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Vadala vala vakavya na wogohi, vakagundama pahi. Ndi vandu vala vakavajovela, “Ndava kyani mukumlonda mundu mweavi mumi pagati ya vevafwili?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?

6Avi lepi apa, ayukili. Muholalela cheavajovili peavi akona ku Galilaya.He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7‘Yikumgana Mwana wa Mundu awusiwayi pavandu vevakumbudila Chapanga, na vene yati vakumvamba pamsalaba na pa ligono la datu yati iyuka.’ ”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Penapo vadala vala vakagakumbuka malovi ga Yesu,Then they remembered His words.

9vakawuya kuhuma kulitinda, vakavajovela vamitumi kumi na mmonga, pamonga na vangi voha, malovi ga mambu ago goha.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Vadala vevabweli kujova mambu genago vavi Maliya mkolonjinji wa Magidala na Yoana na Maliya nyina waki Yakobo pamonga na vadala vangi vevalongosini nawu.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Nambu vamitumi vala vasadiki lepi malovi ga vadala vala, ndava vagahololela ngati uyimu nunuyu.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Nambu Petili, akajumba kuhamba kulitinda, peahikili kulitinda agundimi kulingulila mugati akayiwona ngayene nyula ya msopi. Akawuya kunyumba kuni ikangasa na kujikota gala gegahumili.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.

13Ligono lilolo, vavili pagati ya vamulanda va Yesu vavi mulugendu kuhamba kuchijiji chimonga cha ku Emau chechavi utali wa masaa gavili kuhuma ku Yelusalemu,That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Vavi mukugalongalela mambu goha gegahumalili.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Pavayendelela na malongesi gavi, Yesu mwene akavahumila na kugenda nawu,And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Vamuweni kwa mihu gavi, nambu vadindiwi vakotoka kummanya.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Yesu akavakota, “Mwilongela kyani kuni mwigenda?” Vene vakayima pamihu pavi pakwinyini cha ligoga.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Mmonga wavi liina laki Kileopa, akamyangula, “Wu nga veve myehe wangamanya mambu gegahumalili pa Yelusalemu magono gagaga?”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?”

19Yesu akavakota, “Mambu goki?” Vena vakamuyagula, “Mambu gegamkolili Yesu wa ku Nazaleti.” Mwene avi Mlota mweihotola kuhenga na kuwula palongolo ya vandu voha va Chapanga.“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.

20Vakulu va kuteta na vachilongosi vitu vakamgotola na kumuhamula lifwa, vakamvamba pamsalaba.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Nambu tete tamsadiki mwene kuvya ndi mweatumwili kuyigombola Isilaeli! Hinu, lelu ndi ligono la datu pagahengiki mambu genago.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.

22Kavili vadala vangi va kwitu vatikenyemwisi, muni vakahambili kulitinda lukela hambakucha,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23Nambu nakuyikolela higa ya Yesu. Vakawuya nakutijovela vahumiwi na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, vevavajovili ngati Yesu akona mumi.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.

24Vayitu vangi pagati yitu vahambili kulitinda kulola gegajoviwi na vadala vala, nambu nakuyiwona lepi mwene.Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Kangi Yesu akavajovela, “Nyenye vayimu na mitima yinu yitopa kusadika gegajoviwi na vamlota va Chapanga!Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Wuli, yamganili lepi Kilisitu msangula kung'ahika, kangi ayingilayi muukulu waki?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Hinu akavadandaulila mambu goha gegamuvala mwene mu Mayandiku Gamsopi kutumbula muhitabu ya Musa mbaka muhitabu ya Vamlota va Chapanga.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Pevahegalili na chijiji chevaambayi, Yesu akakita ngati mweiyendelela na lugendu,As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Nambu vene vakamjovela, chondi pepayi, “Utamayi pamonga na tete, muni lilanga litipimi chitita chibwela.” Ndi akayingila nawu mugati.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.

30Peatamili kulya chakuyla pamonga nawu, akalitola libumunda na kumsengusa Chapanga na kulimetula na kuvapela.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Bahapo vakagubukuliwa mihu gavi na kummanya, nambu mwene akayaga pagati yavi.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Ndi Vakajovesana, “Mitima yitu yasangalwiki neju mugati mwitu peakatidandauli Mayandiku Gamsopi munjila mula?”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?”

33Balapala vakawuka, kuwuya ku Yelusalemu. Kwenuko vakavakolela vamitumi kumi na mmonga na vangi vevavi pamonga na vene vakonganiki,And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34vakajova, “Chakaka Bambu ayukili! Amuhumalili Simoni!”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Hinu vamulanda vavili va Yesu vakavajovela mambu gegavakolili munjila na chevammanyili Yesu pealimetulayi libumunda.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Pevavi mukujovewa genago, Yesu mwene bahapo akayima pagati yavi nakujova, “Uteke uvyayi na nyenye.”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Vakakenyemuka na kuyogopa neju muni vaholalelayi pangi valiwene lihoka.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Nambu mwene akavajovela, “Ndava kyani mwivagaya? Ndava kyani mwikujikota kota mumitima yinu?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Mlola mawoko na magendelu, muni mumanyayi kuvya ndi nene. Munipamisa mumanya, muni lihoka langali higa amala lijege ngati chemukunilola.”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.”

40Peamali kujova genago, akavalangisa mawoko na magendelu.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Pevavi vakona kusadika, ndava ya luheku uvaha na kukangasa, Yesu akavakota, “Muvinachu chakulya chochoha penapa?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Vakampela chipandi cha somba yiyochanu,So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43akachitola na kulya kuni woha vakumlola.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Kangi akavajovela, “Genaga ndi malovi genavajovili penakavili na nyenye, muni yaganikwi gahengekayi goha gegayandikiwi kunivala nene mu malagizu ga Musa na muvitabu vya vamlota va Chapanga na Muchitabu cha Zabuli.”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.”

45Kangi, penapo akavalangasila luhala lwavi muni vagamanyayi Mayandiku Gamsopi.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Akavajovela, “Gayandikiwi kuvya, Kilisitu msangula yati ing'ahiswa nambu paligono la datu yati iyuka kuhuma pavafwili,And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47yikuvagana mewa vandu va makabila goha, kutumbula ku Yelusalemu vakokoselewayi muliina laki kuleka kumbudila Chapanga. Muni valekekeswa kubuda kwavi.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Nyenye ndi mwemugawene mambu genago.You are witnesses of these things.

49Namwene yati nikuvapelekela yula mweavalagazili Dadi wangu, nambu mulindila kumuji mbaka pemumemeswa uhotola kuhuma kunani.”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.”

50Kangi Yesu akavalongosa vawuliwa kuvala ya muji wenuwo mbaka ku Betania, akayinula mawoko gaki kunani akavamotisa.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Peamali kuvamotisa, akavaleka, akatoliwa kuhamba kunani kwa Chapanga.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Vawuliwa vakamfugamila Yesu, kangi vakawuya pa Yelusalemu, kuni vavi na luheku luvaha,And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Vayendalili kuvya Panyumba ya Chapanga magono goha, vakumulumbalila Chapanga.praising God continually in the temple.
