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.
And on the first [day] of the weeks, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, carrying the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,
2 Ba to ndi ba nyi kikle tita wa ka nyu ibe rju.
and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,
3 Ba ri nimi nda toh ndi k'mo Bachi Yesu na he na.
and having gone in, they did not find 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, while they are perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in clothing—flashing [with light];
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 on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living with 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 was raised; 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, It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise again [on] the third day.”
8 Imba ba ba tika itre ma,
And they remembered His sayings,
9 nda kma don bubu ibe'a nda bla ni wlon don ri'a baba mbru ndji bari, wawu ikpi biyi ba
and having turned back from the tomb, told 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.
And it was Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women 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 sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing 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
And Peter having risen, ran to the tomb, and having stooped down he sees the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that having come to pass.
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 during that day to a village, being sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] Emmaus,
14 Ba si tre ni kpamba nitu ikpi biwa ba si zren'a.
and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.
15 Niwa basi tre nda ni mye kpamba, Yesu kima a ye nda si zren ni ba.
And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus Himself, having come near, was going on with them,
16 Shishi mba ana bwu du ba mla toh ka ahi nha na.
and their eyes were restrained 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 [are] these words that you exchange with one another, walking, and you are sad?”
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, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to Him, “Are You alone visiting Jerusalem and have not known the things having come to pass 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 about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man—a prophet—powerful 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.
how also the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him up to a 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.
and we were hoping that it is He who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing today since these things happened.
22 Ngari, mba bari, nimi mbu ba rju ni tre wa anuta sissri, nitu hi mba ni bubu ibe ni bwubwu mble.
And certain of our women also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,
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 having not found His body, they came, saying to have also seen an apparition of messengers who say He is alive,
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 certain of those with us went away to the tomb, and found [it] so, even as the women said, and they did not see Him.”
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 inconsiderate and slow in heart to believe on all that the prophets spoke!
26 Ana bi zan du Kristi sha ya ikpe biyi rhi nda ri ni nzuhon ma na?”
Was it not necessary [for] the Christ to suffer 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 was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about Himself.
28 Ni ba tie whiwhre ni vi gbu wa bata hi niwu'a, Yesu a ti to ani zren hi guchi.
And they came near to the village to where they were going, and He made an appearance of going on further,
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, “Remain with us, for it is toward evening,” and the day declined, and He went in to remain 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, in His reclining with them, having taken the bread, He blessed, and having broken, He was giving 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 recognized Him, and He became unseen by 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 our heart not burning within us as He was speaking to us in the way, and as He was opening the Writings up 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 they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven gathered together, and those with them,
34 nda hla ndi “A njanji, Bachi mbu lunde, nda tsro tuma ni Siman,”
saying, “The Lord was indeed raised, and was seen by 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 were expounding the things in the way, and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,
36 Niwa basi tre kpi biyi, Yesu kima, a rju kri ni mimba nda tre ndi, “Si suron son niyi.”
and as they are speaking these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, “Peace to you”;
37 Ba ti gbri me i sissri a vu ba. Ba ban ndi ba toh ibrji ma mu.
and being amazed, and becoming frightened, they were thinking themselves to see 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 you troubled? And why do reasonings come up 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.”
See My hands and My feet, that I am He; handle Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see Me having.”
40 Niwa a kle tre toyi a tsro ba iwo mba iza ma.
And having said this, He showed the hands and the feet to them,
41 Niki me, bana kpanyime na, nitu ngyiri ni sissri. Yesu a mye ba ndi, “Bi he ni ikpe wu rhi?”
and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, He said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 Ba nu vi lambe wa ba sron'a.
And they gave to Him part of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb,
43 Akpa nda rhi ni shishi mba.
and having taken, He 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 that I spoke to you, being yet with you, that it is necessary to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about Me.”
45 Alu bwu mre suron mba du ba mla to nvunvu tre Irji.
Then He opened up their understanding to understand the Writings,
46 A hla bawu ndi, toki ba nha ndi Kristi ni shaya nda lunde rji ni qu ni vi wu tra.
and He said to them, “Thus it has been written, and thus it was necessary [for] the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead [on] 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 conversion and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:
48 Bi toh ikpi biyi ni shishi-mbi.
and you 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 on you, but you—abide in the city of Jerusalem until you are 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 forth outside—to 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, in His blessing them, He was parted 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 worshiped Him, turned back 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. Amen.
