Luke 24 (ZIN) · Opened

1Obuchilo bwo omulucheelelélwa echilo cha Habwooyo, abakázi abo baázeenda aha mbi. Bakaba beemukize emizeeze éezo baaloongíze.On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2Ne elyo ibáale liháango likaba lichiingile eémbi, baálisaanga lyaáhiliingisiibwe aha mpelo.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3Niho, baataahámo omugati. Náho baásaanga omutúumbi gwo Omukáma Yeézu, gutalimo.but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4Echigaambo echi chaabaha okutahwa tahwa bwooli. Akáanya bachaáyagalala báti, ahonyini héehi nábo, baáyemeelela abakwaáta bábili, bazweele ebizwáalo bilikweela pee!While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5Abakázi abo kábaabweene ebyo, baákwáatwa obutíini buháango. Beénama, kuhicha obuso bwáabo ahaansi. Náho, abakwaáta abo baábagaambila, “Kanimuloónda ali mwooyo aha bafwiile?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?

6Taliho káandi aha! Yaázookile! Ngási, timukwiizuka ago magaambo yaábagaambiile óobu akaba acháali Galiláaya,He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7‘Íinye Mutábani wo Omuuntu, ni lwaampaka nsohozwe omu ngalo za abaheni, na nibaambaámba aha musalaba. No óobu bityo, echilo cha kásatu, niinzóoka!’ ”‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8Abakázi abo, bageezuka ago magaambo ga Yeézu.Then they remembered His words.

9Ha bwéecho, baalugáho aha mbi. Baázeenda kugagaamba áago góona aha ntumwa za Yeézu ikúmi no oómo, hamo na bóona abáandi.And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10Na abakázi abo, nibo aba: Mariamu omunya Magidala, na Yoana, na Mariamu nyina wa Yakobo, hamo na abakázi abáandi áabo bakaba hamo nábo.It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11Náho, káandi baágaamba éebyo byóona aha ntumwa za Yeézu, entumwa baábibona nke ebitéena ensoonga, tibalabeesigile abakázi áabo aha mpola éezo.But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12Ha bwéecho, Peétero yaáyemeelela ahonyini, yeeluka kuza aha mbi. Yaáhika aha mbi, yaataahámo omugati, yeénama kuleeba, yaábona isáanda éelyo baamuziikilemo Yeézu, bilimo byoónyini byoónka. Yaalugaho áaho, ali omu kusobelwa bwooli.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.

13Ha chilo echo nyini cha Habwooyo, abaheémba bábili ba Yeézu bakaba bali omu luzeendo lwo kuzeenda omu mugoongo gwa Emau. Omutúulo ogwo, guli nko kulibata esáaha ibili zíti kuluga Yeruzaléemu.That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14Bábili abo, bakaba nibazeénda nibeeteekelela empola za amagaambo góona áago agagwiile.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15Obuchilo bakaba bacháali nibateekelela aga, Yeézu weényini yéeza, yaálibata hamo nábo.And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16Baámubona, náho Múungu akabakola bataákumumanya nkokwo ni Yeézu.But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17Yaábabúuza, “Nimuteekelela magaambo chi kunu nimulibata?” Baáyemeelela, obuso bwáabo nibwooleka entíimba.He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18Oómo wáabo, izíina lyoómwe ni Kileopa, yaámusubiza, “Ngási, omu chipípi cha abaantu bóona abaabeele bali Yeruzaléemu, níiwe weénka omuzenyi otakahuliile góona áago agagwiile aho ebilo éebi?”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?”

19Yeézu náwe yaábasubiza, “Ni magaambo chi ago?” Baámusubiza, “Íichwe nituteekelela byóona éebyo bamukolíile Yeézu Omunyanazaréeti. Abaantu bóona, no óobu na Múungu, bakabona nkokwo weényini no omubáasi, habwo kuba ebikolwa byoómwe na amagaambo goómwe gakaba geena obuhicha bwooli.“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.

20Náho, abakúlu ba abagabe ba Múungu, na abatégeki béetu, baámusohoza, achwaaziikilwe kufwa. Kábaabalíile, baámwíita ha kumubaamba ha musalaba.Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21Na weényini niwe twaámutegiize nkokwo alaátuchuúngula Abaiziraeli. Náho óobu, buluga ago góona gagwíile, leélo ne echilo cha kásatu.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.

22“Hamo ne ebyo, abáandi abakázi omuli íichwe baátukaamaaza, habwo kuba leélo obuchilo bwo omulucheelelélwa, baázeenda aha mbi,Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23baásaanga omutúumbi gutalimo omugati. Béeza kutugaambila nkokwo beesulukizwa na bamaléeka, abo baábagaambila nkokwo Yeézu ali mwooyo!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.

24“Mále, abáandi omuli íichwe baázeenda aha mbi, baásaanga byóona ni nka nikwo abakázi abo baátugaambila. Nábo bityo nyini, tibalagubwéene omutúumbi.”Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25Yeézu yaábagaambila, “Íimwe basílu! Ha bwaáchi timukuhicha kwiikiliza buli áago gaagaambilwe na ababáasi?Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26Ngási, ti Masihi akaba ahikiiliilwe kulabila ebyaágalazo ebyo byóona, atakazíile omu ikuzo lyoómwe?”Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27Niho, Yeézu kubasoomboolela amagaambo ago góona agaayaandikilwe ageene empoláze, kubaandiza omu Maandiko ga Musa na aga ababáasi abáandi bóona.And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28Niho beeliliza omu mugoongo óogwo baabeele nibazeénda. Náwe Yeézu yeekola nka acháali naazeendelela no oluzeendo.As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29Náho, baámuneémbelela bwooli, “Yikala hamo neechwe aha! Léeba ensiimbaazi neeyiza, ni izóoba lyáagwa.” Niho, Yeézu yaataahámo omu nzu, abone kwiikala hamo nábo.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.

30Káyaabaliile beékala hamo ha luhelo niho Yeézu yeemucha omukaate, yaásaba no kusiima, yaágumenyula, yaaba naabaha.While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Ahonyini, Múungu yaábakola kumanya nkokwo ni Yeézu. Náwe ahonyini yaabahwáho aha méeso.Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32Beébuuza, “Akáanya ako yaaba naagaámba gaamba neechwe omu muháanda, ha kutusoomboolela agali omu Maandiko Amatakatíifu, mbwéenu kitwaahulila nko omulilo gwaáyaka omu miganya yéetu?”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?”

33Ha buchilo obwo nyini baáyemeelela, baásuba Yeruzaléemu. Baábugana ne entumwa za Yeézu ikúmi ne eémo beékobya hamo na abáandi.And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34Bóona bakaba nibabagaambila bábili áabo omu kugaamba, “Na amazima nkokwo Omukáma wéetu yaázooka! Yaámweesuululukiize Simoni!”and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35Niho nábo kubasoomboolela bazeenzi báabo buli áago agagwiile omu muháanda. Baábagaambila nka nikwo baabweene kumumanya Yeézu obuchilo naabamenyulila omukaate.Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36Obuchilo abaheémba áabo ba Yeézu bakaba bacháali bachaáhooyela empola ye éebyo, ahonyini Yeézu náwe, yaáyemeelela ahagáti yáabo. Yaábagaambila, “Mube no obuhóolo!”While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37Beékaangwa, baátíina bwooli, habwo kuba bakeéteekuza nkokwo baábona omuzimu.But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38Náho, Yeézu yaábagaambila, “Ha bwaáchi mwaázululukwa! Kamwaábéele ne enteenga teenga omu miganya yáanyu?“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Muundéebe emikono yaanze na amagulu gaanze, niho mumanye nkokwo níinye! Muunkúumye! Mweélebele íimwe nyini! Ha kuba omuzimu tigwíina mubili, nali amagúfa, nko óokwo mulikuleeba nnyinabyo.”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.”

40Obuchilo Yeézu káyaamazile kubagaambila ago, yaábooleka emikono na amagulu.And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41Abaheémba boómwe, bakanulilwa bwooli, kuhicha tibalakuunzile nka nikwo ebyo byóona na amazima. Baásobelwa bwooli. Niho, Yeézu yaábabúuza, “Ngási aha heena echookulya choóna chóona?”While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42Baámuha echinogóka che eénfwi eyaabeele eyokizwe.So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43Yaáchanaánkula, yaáchilya omu méeso gáabo.and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Yaábagaambila, “Obuchilo mbele nchili hamo neemwe, mbele niimbagaambila amagaambo góona áago agaándikilwe ha bwaánze ni lwaampaka gahikiilizwe: agaándikilwe omu bilagilo bya Musa, no omu maandiko ga ababáasi, no omu chitabu che Enzina.”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.”

45Aho, Yeézu yaábakola kumanya Amaandiko Matakatíifu.Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46Káandi yaábagaambila, “Gaandikilwe nka nikwo, Masihi naayeéndelwa kwaágalazibwa ne echilo cha kásatu, alyaázooka kuluga omu bafwíile.And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47Na nka nikwo, abaantu ba amahaánga góona, kubaandiza Yeruzaléemu, boólekeélelwe nka nikwo batamwe ebiheno byáabo, babone kuganyilwa.and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48Íimwe mwaáyatula amagaambo ago.You are witnesses of these things.

49“Muléebe! Niimbasiindikila Omwooyo Mutakatíifu nka Táata waanze omulago ogwo yaabeésagiize. Náho, muliindilile omu iboma óomu kuhicha obuchilo óobwo mulaaháabwa obuzizi óobwo buleéza kuluga omu igulu.”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.”

50Káyaabaliile, Yeézu yaábeebeembelela abaheémba boómwe kuhicha kuhika omu muzihwa gwa Betania. Akáanya kabaahikile aho, yeemucha emikonóye aha lugulu, yaábafuuha.When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51Na káandi akaba acháali naabafúuha, yaábaleka, yaaba naalelema kuzeenda omu igulu.While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52Aho, baámulamya. Baásuba Yeruzaléemu, nibanulilwa bwooli.And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53Beékala aha nzu ya Múungu, nibamukúza Múungu.praising God continually in the temple.
