Luke 24
1 Ni bwu mble, ni vi mumla wu Sati'a, ba ye ni bubu ibe'a nda nji nnye wu bwa ni kmo, wandi bana ti'a.
But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.
2 Ba to ndi ba nyi kikle tita wa ka nyu ibe rju.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 Ba ri nimi nda toh ndi k'mo Bachi Yesu na he na.
And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 A hye niki, ba ri he ni tsishishi ni tu kpe yi, ndji ha ba rju kri ni ba ni inklon wa zan pri me.
And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.
5 Niki mba-ba ba ti sissri nda kukru ni shishi mba ni meme, i ba tre ni mba-ba ndi, “Ngye du yi ni wa ndji wu vrhi nimi biwa ba qu ye'a?”
And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?
6 Ana he ni wayi na, ba nzu lunde ye. Rhimre ni tre ma niwa a rhi he ni Galili,
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
7 ndi ba guchi vu Vren Ndji nu ndji bi lah tre, ba gran ni kunkro, ni vi wu tra ani la lunde.
saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.
8 Imba ba ba tika itre ma,
And they remembered his words;
9 nda kma don bubu ibe'a nda bla ni wlon don ri'a baba mbru ndji bari, wawu ikpi biyi ba
and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 Niki, Maryamu Magdalin, Joanna, Maryamu iyi Yakubu, ni mba ba rima, mle, baka vu bla ni manzani ba.
Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.
11 Ama itre wa a bla bawu a rju choloncho ni manzani ba, i bana kpanyime ni mba-ba na.
And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.
12 I Bitrus a lu kri vu tsu hi ni bubu be'a, nda ku dran nda ya mima. A to ba pri nklon wu kpa ma ba shii zini kosan. Bitrus a kma hi ni koh ma, nda ni rhimre ikpi wa ba he'a
But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.
13 Ni vi baki, ndji ha ni mimba ba vu nko tayi ni vi gbu Emmawus, wandi a mili ttamgba ni mbru rji ni Urushelima.
And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus;
14 Ba si tre ni kpamba nitu ikpi biwa ba si zren'a.
and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place.
15 Niwa basi tre nda ni mye kpamba, Yesu kima a ye nda si zren ni ba.
And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them;
16 Shishi mba ana bwu du ba mla toh ka ahi nha na.
but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.
17 Yesu a hla bawu ndi, Bi ki zren nini tre nitu ngye, hambiwu ni ton nkoh? Ba kma kuki nda kri ngbonme.
And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?
18 Iri mba, ni nde Cleopas a sa niwu ndi, “Wu nklen me yi ni gbu Urushelima wuna toh ikpi wa basi zren ni vivi yi na?
And one [of them], named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?
19 Yesu a mye ba ndi, “ikpi bi rime?” Ba sa wu ndi, “Ikpi nitu Yesu wu Nazarat wandi ana Anabi kikle ni ndu, mba lan tre ni shishi Irji mba ni ndji wawu'u,
And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20 Wawu yi kikle Prist, baba bi ninkon wu gbu'a ba vu nu du ba lo u wu qu nda klo ni giciye.
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to [the] judgment of death and crucified him.
21 Kina yo suron ndi wawu yi ni ye kpa Israila chuwo. E, nha ni kima, a vi tra zizan wa ikpi biyi ba he.
But we had hoped that he was [the one] who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place.
22 Ngari, mba bari, nimi mbu ba rju ni tre wa anuta sissri, nitu hi mba ni bubu ibe ni bwubwu mble.
And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre,
23 Ba hi ka toh ndi kmo ma na he na, nda kma ye si tre baka toh Maleka wa a hla bawu ndi a he ni sissren.
and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living.
24 Ndji mbu bari ba hi ni bubu ibe nda ka to tsra ni kpe wa mbaba ba hla'a. Ama bana to'o na.
And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.
25 Yesu a hla bawu ndi, “Bi ruru ndji, bi si sron kpanyime ni kpe wa anabawa ba tre!
And he said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Ana bi zan du Kristi sha ya ikpe biyi rhi nda ri ni nzuhon ma na?”
Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?
27 Niki rji ni Musa, zu ni anabawa wawu, Yesu a mla bla ni bawu ikpi nitu kpama nimi nvunvu tre Irji.
And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 Ni ba tie whiwhre ni vi gbu wa bata hi niwu'a, Yesu a ti to ani zren hi guchi.
And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther.
29 Mle ba bre u ndi, “Son nita, yalu si tie, i ivi'a ti wiewiere wu kle ye. Mle Yesu a kpanyime nda ka son niba.
And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.
30 Niwa a kuson nda ni rhi niba, a ban bredi'a, yo lulu niwu, nda nziga nu ba.
And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.
31 Shishi mba a kri bwu i baka mla toh wu, wa kri kado ni shishi mba.
And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.
32 Ba hla ni kpamba, “Suron mbu ana si'a gon ni mi-mbu niwa a si tre ni nkon, nda tsro ta nimi nvunvu tre Irji na?”
And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, [and] as he opened the scriptures to us?
33 Ba kri lunde ni ton kima nda vu nkon kma hi ni Urushelima. Ba ka ri ni wlon don ri ba, nda toh ba baba bi wa bana he ni ba'a,
And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together,
34 nda hla ndi “A njanji, Bachi mbu lunde, nda tsro tuma ni Siman,”
saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon.
35 Niki ba vu kpi wa ba toh ninkon mba wa ba mla toh Yesu ni andi a ban bredi si ga nuba a.
And they related what [had happened] on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
36 Niwa basi tre kpi biyi, Yesu kima, a rju kri ni mimba nda tre ndi, “Si suron son niyi.”
And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace [be] unto you.
37 Ba ti gbri me i sissri a vu ba. Ba ban ndi ba toh ibrji ma mu.
But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit.
38 Yesu a hla bawu ndi, “A ngye du yi ni tie sissri? A hi ngye ni lo yi ni suron?
And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts?
39 Toh iwo mba iza mu. A hi me kimu. Sa wo nitu mu ni toh. Ibrji na he ni nma kpa mba ququ na wandi bisi to mi he niwu na.”
behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having.
40 Niwa a kle tre toyi a tsro ba iwo mba iza ma.
And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 Niki me, bana kpanyime na, nitu ngyiri ni sissri. Yesu a mye ba ndi, “Bi he ni ikpe wu rhi?”
But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?
42 Ba nu vi lambe wa ba sron'a.
And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb;
43 Akpa nda rhi ni shishi mba.
and he took it and ate before them.
44 A hla bawu ndi, “Biyi yi ba lan tre mu, wandi mi hla ni yiwu niwa mi he ni yi, ndi ikpi wa ba nha ba ni nvunvu doka Musa baba anabawa ni Zabura ba wrhu he toki.
And he said to them, These [are] the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.
45 Alu bwu mre suron mba du ba mla to nvunvu tre Irji.
Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,
46 A hla bawu ndi, toki ba nha ndi Kristi ni shaya nda lunde rji ni qu ni vi wu tra.
and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day;
47 Kma suron wrhu ni la tre ni kpa wrehle lah tre ma. Hi bla ni ndi kagon ngbungblu rhi ni Urushelima, ni ndema.
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem.
48 Bi toh ikpi biyi ni shishi-mbi.
And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 Ya, mi si ton yi nitu ikpe wa Timu a rhentse ni tuma. Bi gben ni mi gbuyi nitu ba kayi ni nklon gbengblen rji ni shulu ri.
And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high.
50 Niki Yesu a wrhu ni ba nda hi wiewiere ni Betani, nda nzu wo ma nda yo lulu ni bawu.
And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.
51 Ni wa a ta yo lulu ni bawu, ba kri ban'u hi ni shulu.
And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.
52 Mle ba ku nzu ndema, nda k'ma yi ni Urushelima kikle ngyiri.
And they, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 Ba si'a ki chachu ni tra Irji nda ni tie lulu niwu.
and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.
