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].
Zvino nemusi wekutanga wevhiki, mambakwedza, vakauya kuguva, vakatakura zvinonhuhwira zvavakange vagadzirira, nevamwe vanavo.
2 They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
Zvino vakawana ibwe rakakunguruswa kubva paguva.
3 They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
Vakabva vapinda vakasawana mutumbi waIshe Jesu.
4 They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
Zvino vakati vakakanganiswa kwazvo nazvo, zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakamira navo vakapfeka nguvo dzinopenya;
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]
zvino vachiri kutya, ndokukotamisa zviso pasi, varume vakati kwavari: Munotsvakirei mupenyu pavakafa?
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,
Haasi pano, asi wamuka; rangarirai kuti wakataura sei kwamuri achiri muGarirea,
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].’”
achiti: Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kukumikidzwa mumaoko evanhu vezvivi, nekurovererwa pamuchinjikwa, uye pazuva retatu amukezve.
8 The [women] remembered that he had said that.
Zvino vakarangarira mashoko ake.
9 So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
Zvino vakadzoka vachibva kuguva, vakaudza zvinhu izvi zvese kuvanegumi neumwe nekune vamwe vese.
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.
Vaiva Maria Magidharini naJohwana naMaria mai vaJakobho, nevamwe vavaiva navo, vakaudza vaapositori zvinhu izvi.
11 But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
Zvino mashoko avo akaonekera sekutaura kusina maturo pamberi pavo, uye havana kuvatenda.
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.
Asi Petro wakasimuka akamhanyira kuguva; akakotama ndokutarira, akaona micheka yerineni yakaradzikwa yega; ndokuenda, ashamisika mukati make nezvakange zvaitika.
13 That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Zvino tarira, pazuva iroro vaviri vavo vaifamba vachienda kumusha wainzi Emausi, wakange uri masitadhia makumi matanhatu kubva kuJerusarema.
14 They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
Zvino ivo vaitaurirana pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvese zvakange zvaitika.
15 While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti vachitaurirana nekubvunzana, Jesu amene wakaswedera akafamba navo,
16 But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
asi meso avo akange abatwa kuti vasamuziva.
17 [Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Mashoko ei awa amunokurukurirana muchifamba, uye makasuruvara?
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]”
Umwe, wainzi Kiriyopasi, ndokupindura akati kwaari: Ndiwe wega mutorwa muJerusarema, uye hauziva zvakaitikamo mumazuva ano here?
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]!
Zvino akati kwavari: Zvinhui? Ivo vakati kwaari: Zviri maererano naJesu weNazareta, waiva murume muporofita ane simba pachiito nepashoko pamberi paMwari nevanhu vese;
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.
uye kuti vapristi vakuru nevatongi vedu vakamukumikidza sei kuti atongerwe rufu, uye vakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa.
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.
Asi isu taivimba kuti ndiye waizodzikunura Israeri. Asiwo kunze kweizvi zvese, nhasi izuva retatu kubva zvaitika zvinhu izvi.
22 On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
Asi vamwewo vakadzi vekwedu vatishamisa, vanga vafumira kuguva;
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!
zvino vati vasingawani mutumbi wake, vauya vachiti vaona chiratidzo chevatumwawo, vati mupenyu.
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].”
Uye vamwe vevaiva nesu vaenda kuguva, vakawanawo zvakadaro vakadziwo sezvavakange vareva; asi iye havana kumuona.
25 He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
Zvino iye akati kwavari: Haiwa imwi vekusanzwisisa, uye mune moyo ine chinono kutenda zvese vaporofita zvavakataura!
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]”
Ko Kristu wakange asingafaniri kutambudzika nezvinhu izvi, ndokupinda pakubwinya kwake here?
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].
Ndokutanga kuna Mozisi nekuvaporofita vese, akadudzira kwavari mumagwaro ese zvinhu zviri maererano naye.
28 They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
Zvino vakaswedera kumusha kwavakange vachienda; iye ndokuita sewopfuurira.
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.
Asi vakamumanikidza, vachiti: Garai nesu, nokuti koda kuvira, uye zuva ranyura. Ndokupinda kunogara 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.
Zvino zvakaitika agere navo pakudya, wakatora chingwa akaropafadza, akamedura ndokupa kwavari.
31 And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
Zvino meso avo ndokuzarurwa, ndokumuziva; iye ndokunyangarika kwavari.
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]!”
Zvino vakataurirana vachiti: Moyo wedu wanga usingapisi mukati medu here paanga achitaura nesu munzira, nepaanga achitizarurira magwaro?
33 So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
Zvino vakasimuka neawa iroro, vakadzokera kuJerusarema, vakawana vanegumi neumwe vakaungana nevaiva navo,
34 who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
vachiti: Ishe wamuka zvirokwazvo, waonekwa naSimoni.
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].
Ivo vakarondedzera zvinhu zvakaitika munzira, uye kuti wakazikanwa navo sei pakumedura chingwa.
36 As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
Zvino vakati vachataura zvinhu izvozvi, Jesu amene wakamira pakati pavo, akati kwavari: Rugare kwamuri.
37 They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
Asi vakavhunduswa, vakatya, vakafunga kuti vaona mweya.
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]
Zvino akati kwavari: Munonetsekerei, uye mifungo inomukirei mumoyo yenyu?
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!”
Tarirai maoko angu netsoka dzangu, kuti ndini ndomene. Ndibatei, muone, nokuti mweya hauna nyama nemafupa, sezvamunoona ndinazvo.
40 After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
Zvino wakati areva izvi akavaratidza maoko netsoka.
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?”
Zvino vakati vachigere kutenda nekuda kwekufara vachishamisika, akati kwavari: Mune chinodyika pano here?
42 [So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
Zvino vakamupa nhindi yehove yakagochwa neyezinga reuchi.
43 While they were watching, he took it and ate it.
Iye ndokutora akadya pamberi pavo.
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!”
Zvino wakati kwavari: Awa mashoko andakataura kwamuri ndichiri nemwi, kuti zvinhu zvese zvinofanira kuzadziswa, zvakanyorwa pamurairo waMozisi, nepavaporofita nepaMapisarema maererano neni.
45 Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
Ipapo akazarura kunzwisisa kwavo, kuti vanzwisise magwaro.
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.
Ndokuti kwavari: Zvakanyorwa saizvozvi, saizvozvowo zvakafanira Kristu kutambudzika, nekumuka kubva kuvakafa zuva retatu,
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.
uye kuti kutendeuka nekanganwiro yezvivi zviparidzirwe marudzi ese muzita rake, kutanga paJerusarema.
48 You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.
Uye imwi muri zvapupu zvezvinhu izvi.
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].”
Zvino tarirai, ini ndinotuma chivimbiso chaBaba vangu pamusoro penyu; asi imwi garai muguta reJerusarema, kusvikira mafukidzwa nesimba rinobva kumusoro.
50 Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
Zvino akavatungamirira kunze kusvikira Bhetaniya, ndokusimudza maoko ake akavaropafadza.
51 As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
Zvino zvakaitika achavaropafadza, akaparadzana navo, akakwidzwa kudenga.
52 They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.
Zvino vakamunamata, vakadzokera kuJerusarema vane mufaro mukuru;
53 Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
uye vakagara nguva dzese mutembere, vachirumbidza nekutenda Mwari. Ameni.
