Luke 24
1 Before dawn on Sunday those women went to the tomb. They took with them the spices that they had prepared [to put on Jesus’ body].
Isikhu iya khwanja iya mulungu panavusikhu wukhilo, vakhincha khulipumba, vakhagega imono inchuvavikhile.
2 They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
Vakhavona iliwe libelwikhe khuvutali nelipumba.
3 They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
Vakhigila mugati, savakhuvuna umbili ukhwa kuludeva u Yesu.
4 They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
Ikhahumila ukhuta usikhi wuvancha ganyikhiwe khueli, nambivi, avanu vavili vakhima pagati pavene vafualile imienda ig'iga ragadekhaa.
5 The [women] were frightened. As they prostrated themselves on the ground, the two men said to them, “(You should not be seeking someone who is alive in [a place where they bury] dead people!/Why are you seeking in [a place where they bury] dead people someone who is alive?) [RHQ]
Avadala vakhadega ulususuvalo vakhasulekha imifwe givo pasi, vakhavula avadala, “Khekhi mukhondonda uvianchukhile kufwe?
6 He is not here; he has (become alive again/risen from the dead)! Remember that while he was still with you in Galilee [district] he said to you,
Asipali apa, anchukhile! mkumbukhe uwoachovile numwe wualikhu Galilaya,
7 ‘[Even though I] am the one who came from heaven, [someone] will enable sinful men to seize [MTY] me. They will [kill me by] nailing me to a cross. But on the third day [after that], I will become alive [again].’”
Akhanchova ukhuta umwana va Ndaveti mpakha ahumenchiwe mumavokho gavatula nungwa nukhutefiwe, isikhu iyadatu, anchukhe khavili.”
8 The [women] remembered that he had said that.
Avadala valavakha khumbukhe amaneyu gamwene,
9 So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
Vakhakhilivukha ukhuhuma khulipumba vakhavavula inogwa incho nchoni vala khinchigo nayumo paninie navagevoni.
10 The ones who kept telling those things to the apostles were Mary from Magdala [village], Joanna, Mary who was the mother of James, and the other women [who were] with them.
Pwu uMaria Magadarene, Joana, Maria u mama va Yakhobo, navadala avage paninie vakhakhumiya udomo ugu khuvasukhiwa.
11 But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
Pwu amameyu agha khagha vonekha vudesi khuvasukhiwa, savakhavidekha avadala vala.
12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb [anyway]. He stooped down [and looked inside]. He saw the linen cloths [in which Jesus’ body had been wrapped]. [The cloths were] by themselves (OR, [He did not see] anything else). So, wondering what had happened, he went home.
U Peteli akhasisimukha, akhagilaukhuluta khulipumba, alikhu hugila nukhulola mugati, akhayevona isandayene. Pwu u Peteli akhahega ukhuluta khu nyumba ya mwene, alikhudega khikhi khihumile.
13 That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Lola, vavili pakhati pavene valikhulutaikhigono khilakhila mumbunchege uvotambuliwa Emmau, khuyeleimaili sitini ukhuma khu Yerusalemu.
14 They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
Valikhunchova vavokhwa vavo inogwa nchoni inchihumile.
15 While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
Usekhe vavile vikhinchofancha nukhu vunchana amaswali, u Yesu akhahegelela pawipi akhalogonchana navo.
16 But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
Amikho gavene gakhadendiwa ukhumanya umwene.
17 [Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
U Yesu akhavavula, “Khinu khikhi ikhyumwinchova umwe vavili mwu mugenda?” Vakhima pala vakhava na lususuvalo.
18 One of them, whose name was Cleopas, said, “(You [(sg)] must be the only person who is visiting Jerusalem [for the Passover festival] who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days!/Are you the only person who is visiting Jerusalem [for the Passover festival] who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days?) [RHQ]”
Yumu ilitawalyamwene vecleopa, akhanda, '“Uve veve munu vimwe ne apa pa Yerusalemu yuwe supulikhe inogwa inchihumile khunu iskhu inchi?”
19 He said to them, “What events?” They replied, “[The things that happened] to Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth, who was a prophet. Many people saw him [perform] great miracles, and God [enabled him] to teach wonderful [messages]!
U Yesu akhavavula, “Nogwa nyikhi?” Vakhanda, “Inogwa incha Yesu Unazareti, uviakhale Nyamalago, unyamakha khumbombo na mameyu khumiho ga Nguluve na khuvanu voni.
20 But our chief priests and leaders handed him over [to the Roman authorities. The authorities] sentenced him to die, and they killed him by nailing him to a cross.
Avatwa navalogonchi veto vakhaghu minche khuhegiwa uvufwe nu khu budiwa.
21 We [(exc)] were hoping that he was the one who would free [us] Israelites [from our enemies] But [this does not seem possible now, because] three days have [already] passed since that happened.
Tulikhuhuvila ukhuta umwene veikhuvavikha mumbolegefu avaya Israeli. Paninie ninchi nchoni, ilelo khigano khyadatu ukhuhuma imbombo inchi nchivombekha.
22 On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
Pwu vaninie avadala ukhuhuma khukhipuga khyeto vakhatudwaanchinehe, wuvalutile panavusikhu khulipumba.
23 but Jesus’ body was not there! They came [back] and said that they had seen some angels in a vision. The angels said that he was alive!
Swaguwene umbili gwa mwene, vinaile vinchova ukhuta vakha lolile avasug'wa avakhakha nchovile ukhuta anchukhile mwumi.
24 Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb. They saw that things were exactly as the women had reported. But they did not see [Jesus].”
Avagosiavage avakhalale paninie nufwe vakhalutile kulipumba, vanchiwene nduwuvakha nchovile avadala. Savakhambone umwene.”
25 He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
U Yesu akhavavula, “umwe mwavanu vapelwa mleninumbula inchifu inchakhulekha ukhwidikha nchoni unchovachovile avayamalago!
26 ([You should certainly have known that] it was necessary that the Messiah should suffer all those things [and die], and then enter his glorious [home in heaven]!/Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer all those things [and die], and then enter his glorious [home in heaven]?) [RHQ]”
Sayalelweli u Yesu ukhutesiwa khunogwa incho, nukhwigila kuludeva kwa mwene?”
27 Then he explained to them all the things that [the prophets] had written in the Scriptures about himself. He started with what Moses [MTY] [wrote] and then explained to them what all the [other] prophets [wrote].
Ukhutegulila khwa Mose na vasug'wa voni, u Yesu akhavavula imbombo inchamwene inchilembufimbe woni.
28 They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
Vavile vakhegelile mumbunchege vula, valikhuluta u Yesu akhava inogwa ukhwendelela khuvulugolo.
29 but they urged him [to not do that]. They said, “Stay with us [tonight], because it is late in the afternoon and it will soon be dark.” So he went in [the house] to stay with them.
Vakhamwumilencha, vakhata, “Lama paninie nufwe, ilwakhuva lino wilile nesikhu yesilile.”Pwu u Yesu akhigila khutama navo.
30 When they sat down to eat, he took some bread and [asked God to] bless it. He broke it and gave [some pieces] to them.
Yakhumile ukhuta, avile atamile navo pakhulya, akhatola ikhivanda akhakhisaya, nukhumenyula, akhavapa.
31 And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
Pwu amikho gavene gakhadenduliwa vakhamanye, akhayaganikha nambivi khumikho gavene.
32 The two men said to each other, “[While we were walking] along the road and he talked with us and [enabled] us [(inc)] to understand the Scriptures, we [became so excited that it was as though] [MET] a fire was burning within us [RHQ]! [We should not stay here; we should go tell the others what happened]!”
Vakhavunchena vavo khwa vavo, “Ulu inumbula ncheta sanchikhavikhe mugati ndufwe, usekhe wuinchova nufwe munjila, wuikhutundindulila uvusimbe?”
33 So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
Vakhema usikhe gugwa, nukhukhilivukha khu Yerusalemu. Vakhavavona vala khinchigo nayumo valundamine paninie, navalaavale paninie navo,
34 who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
Vakhata, Untwa anchukhile lweli lweli, agumile u Simoni.”
35 Then those two [men] told [the others] what had happened [as they were walking] along the road. They also [told them how] they both recognized Jesus as he broke some bread [for them].
Pwuvakhavavula imbombo inchihumile munchele, nuwu u Yesu avonikhe khuvene khuvene pakhumeyule inchivanda.
36 As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
Wuvinchova inogwa incho, u Yesu yuywa akhema pagati pavene, akhavavula, “uluhungu luve numwe.”
37 They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
Vakhadwada lukhadega ulutende, vali khusaga ukhuta vayewene inumbula.
38 He said to them, “(You should not be alarmed!/Why are you alarmed?) [RHQ] And (you should not be doubting [that I am alive]/Jesus!/why are you doubting [that I am alive]/Jesus?) [RHQ]
U Yesu akhavavula, khekhi msikhitikha? Khekhi amameyu gilihuma munumbula ncheyo?
39 Look at [the wounds in] my hands and my feet! You can touch me and see [my body]. Then you can see that it is really I myself. [You can tell that I am really alive] because ghosts do not have bodies, as you see that I have!”
Mlolage amavokho gago namalunde gago, ukhuta neneyune. Muyilate mlole. Ulwakhwa inimbula yenchila nyamana manchege, nduwumwilola une nilinafyo.”
40 After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
Avileamale akhunchova, ewo, akhavavonesya amavokho gamwene namalunde gamwene.
41 They were joyful and amazed, [but] they still did not believe [that he was really alive] (OR, [that Jesus was the one that they were seeing]). [So] he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
Vavilebadu vakhowike nukhulekha ukhwidikha, nukhuswiga, u Yesu akhavavula, “Mulinakhyo akhyakula?”
42 [So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
Vakhampaekhemegu khyasomba iyuvanyanyile.
43 While they were watching, he took it and ate it.
U Yesu akhatola nukhula khuvulogolo uhuvene.
44 Then he said to them, “[I will repeat] what I told you while I was still with you: Everything that was written about me by Moses and the [other] prophets [MTY] and in the Psalms must be fulfilled!”
Akhavavula, “Upwunekhale numwe, nikhavavulile ukhuta nchoni inchisi mbiwe khudagilo invha Mose navanyamalago ne Zaburi impakha nchi khwela nile.”
45 Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
Pwu akhadendula igala nchova, ukhuta vavumaye uvusimbe.
46 He said to them, “This is what they wrote: That the Messiah would suffer [and die], but on the third day after that he would become alive again.
Akhavavula, “Ukhuta yesimbiwe, u Kreste mpakha atesekhe, nukhunchhukha ukhuhuma kuvufwe ikhigono ikhya datu.
47 [They] also [wrote that the message] must be preached {[that his disciples] must preach [the message]} [everywhere that people] must turn from their sinful ways for [God] to forgive their sins. [They wrote that his followers should preach that message, claiming] his authority [MTY]. They wrote that they should start [preaching] it in Jerusalem, and then [go and] preach it to all ethnic groups.
Ukhupela nukhusyekheliwa imbivi impakha nchilumbeliliwe khulitawa lya mwene khuviluga fyoni, ukhuma khu Yerusalemu.
48 You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.
Numwe mlivamasaidi va nogwa inchi.
49 And I want you to know that I will send the [Holy Spirit] [MTY] to you, as my Father promised that [he would do]. But you must stay in this city until God fills you with the power [of his Spirit].”
Mlolage, nikhuvahelekhela ululegilo lwa Dada vago khukyanya khulimwe. Pwu mpulikhele bahapa mumbunchega mpakha apyamvikhava amakha ukhuhuma khukyanya.
50 Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
Pwu u Yesu akhavalogoncha ichunji impakha vavilevafikhe khu Bethania. Akhinula amavokho gamwe khu khyanya, akhavasaya.
51 As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
Ikhahumila avile ikhuvasaya, akhava lekha akhapimbiwa ukhuluta khukhya
52 They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.
Pwu vakhamindekha, nukhuvuya khu Yerusalemu vahowikhe.
53 Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
Valikhupitama mtembile wuvikhudova Unguluve.
