Luka 24
1 Le kɔsiɖa ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ ƒe ŋdi kanya la, nyɔnuawo tsɔ ami ʋeʋĩawo ɖe asi heva yɔdoa to,
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 gake wokpɔe be womli kpe gã si wotsɔ tu yɔdoa nui la ɖa.
and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,
3 Woge ɖe yɔdoa me, gake womekpɔ Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe kukua o.
and having gone in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 Nu sia wɔ moya na wo ŋutɔ eya ta wonɔ tsitre ɖe yɔdoa to henɔ ta me bum le nu si dzɔ ŋu, kasia ame eve siwo do awu ɣi siwo nɔ dzo dam miamiamia la va do ɖe wo dome.
And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in clothing—flashing [with light];
5 Nyɔnuawo vɔ̃ ale gbegbe be wodze klo de mo to ɖe ameawo ŋkume. Ŋutsuawo bia wo be, “Nu ka ta mieva le ame gbagbe dim le ame kukuwo dome?
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 Mele afi sia o; etsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome. Miɖo ŋku ale si wògblɔe na mi, esime wònɔ anyi kpli mi le Galilea la dzi be:
He is not here, but was raised; remember how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
7 ‘Ele be woade Amegbetɔ Vi la asi na nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, woaklãe ɖe ati ŋuti, eye le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, wòatsi tsitre.’”
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 Nyɔnuawo ɖo ŋku eƒe nyawo dzi.
And they remembered His sayings,
9 Esime wogbɔ tso yɔdo la gbɔ la, woka nu siawo katã ta na ame wuiɖekɛawo kple ame bubuawo katã.
and having turned back from the tomb, told all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest.
10 Ke ame siwo gblɔ nu siawo na Apostoloawo la, woawoe nye Maria Magdalatɔ, Yohana kple Maria Yakobo dada kple nyɔnu bubu geɖewo.
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 Esi nusrɔ̃lawo se nyɔnuawo ƒe nyawo la, ɖeko wòɖi glitoto le woƒe towo me.
and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.
12 Ke Petro ʋu du yi yɔdoa to be yeakpɔ nu si dzɔ la ɖa. Ebɔbɔ do mo ɖe yɔdoa me, gake ameɖivɔ la ko wòkpɔ le anyigba. Ale wòtrɔ yi aƒe me henɔ nu si dzɔ la ŋuti bum vevie.
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 Le gbe ma gbe ke la, Yesu yomenɔla eve nɔ mɔ zɔm yina kɔƒe aɖe si woyɔna be Emaus la me. Kɔƒe sia didi tso Yerusalem gbɔ abe kilomita wuiɖekɛ ene.
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 Wonɔ dze ɖom kple wo nɔewo tso nu siwo katã va dzɔ la ŋuti.
and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.
15 Esi wonɔ dzea ɖom nɔ nu siawo me dzrom kple wo nɔewo la, Yesu ŋutɔ va tu wo, eye wòde asi zɔzɔme kpli wo.
And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus Himself, having come near, was going on with them,
16 Gake womekpɔe dze si o, elabena wotsyɔ̃ nu woƒe ŋkuwo dzi.
and their eyes were restrained so as not to know Him,
17 Yesu bia wo be, “Nya ka me dzrom miele vevie alea? Edze nam ƒãa be nya siwo me dzrom miele la nye nya gã aɖe ŋutɔ si dzɔ.” Mɔzɔla eveawo nɔ tsitre, eye wodzudzɔ nuƒoƒo. Blanui lé wo ŋutɔ.
and He said to them, “What [are] these words that you exchange with one another, walking, and you are sad?”
18 Ke wo dometɔ ɖeka si ŋkɔe nye Kleopa la ɖo Yesu ƒe biabia ŋu be, “Ɖewohĩ wò ɖeka koe nye ame le Yerusalem si mese nya dziŋɔ si dzɔ le Kɔsiɖa si va yi me la o.”
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 gabiae be, “Nya kae dzɔ?” Ŋutsua ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nya siwo dzɔ ɖe Yesu, ŋutsu si tso Nazaret dzi lae mewɔnɛ. Ŋutsu sia nye nyagblɔɖila xɔŋkɔ aɖe si wɔ nu wɔnukuwo eye wòganye nufiala deŋgɔ aɖe si tɔgbi mebɔ o. Le nyateƒe me la, ede ŋgɔ ŋutɔ le Mawu kple amegbetɔwo siaa ŋkume.
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 Ke nu kae va dzɔ, nunɔlagãwo kple míaƒe agbalẽfialawo lée hetsɔ de asi na Roma dziɖuɖua be woatso kufia nɛ. Ale Roma dziɖuɖua tso kufia nɛ, eye woklãe ɖe ati ŋu.
how also the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him up to a judgment of death, and crucified Him;
21 Míawo ya míenɔ bubum be eyae nye Kristo ŋusẽtɔ si va Israel dukɔa ɖe ge tso kluvinyenye me hafi. Nu siawo katã dzɔ ŋkeke etɔ̃e nye esi va yi.
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 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, míaƒe nyɔnuawo dometɔ aɖewo do voɖi na mí. Woyi yɔdoa to fɔŋli sia
And certain of our women also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,
23 gake womekpɔ eƒe ŋutilã kukua o. Wotrɔ gbɔ va gblɔ na mí be yewokpɔ ŋutega, eye yewokpɔ mawudɔlawo le ŋutega la me wogblɔ na yewo be ele agbe.
and having not found His body, they came, saying to have also seen an apparition of messengers who say He is alive,
24 Mía tɔ aɖewo ƒu du yi yɔdoa to enumake, ke woawo hã kpɔ be yɔdoa le ƒuƒlu vavã abe ale si ame gbãtɔwo gblɔe ene.”
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 gblɔ na wo be, “Mi ame manyanuwo! Esesẽna na mi be miaxɔ nya siwo katã nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ da ɖi la dzi ase!
And He said to them, “O inconsiderate and slow in heart to believe on all that the prophets spoke!
26 Alo mele na Kristo be wòakpe fu siawo katã hafi age ɖe eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la me o mahã?”
Was it not necessary [for] the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?”
27 Ale Yesu gblɔ Mawunya geɖewo na wo tso Mose dzi va se ɖe Nyagblɔɖila bubuawo katã dzi, eye wòɖe akpa siwo ku ɖe eya ŋutɔ ŋu la me na wo.
And having begun from Moses, and from all the Prophets, He was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about Himself.
28 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, wogogo Emaus, kɔƒe si me woyina la. Yesu wɔ abe ɖe wòle eme tsom ene, eya ta
And they came near to the village to where they were going, and He made an appearance of going on further,
29 woɖe kuku nɛ be wòatsi yewo gbɔ adɔ ŋu nake, elabena zã do vɔ keŋ. Ale Yesu lɔ̃, eye wòyi woƒe aƒe me.
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 Esi wonɔ anyi be yewoaɖu nu la, eyra ɖe nuɖuɖua dzi, eye wòtsɔ abolo, ŋe eme hetsɔe na wo.
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 Kasia, woƒe ŋkuwo ʋu, eye wokpɔe dze sii be eyae nye Yesu, eye enumake wòbu le wo gbɔ.
and their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, and He became unseen by them.
32 Ame eveawo de asi gbɔgblɔ me be, “Mèkpɔe be míaƒe dziwo lé dzo ŋutɔ le esime wònɔ mawunya la me ɖem na mí le mɔa dzi oa?”
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 Enumake wogatso dze mɔ ɖo ta Yerusalem, eye esi woɖo afi ma la, wokpɔ nusrɔ̃la wuiɖekɛawo kple Yesu yomedzela bubuwo.
And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven gathered together, and those with them,
34 Nusrɔ̃lawo gblɔ na wo be, “Aƒetɔ la tsi tsitre vavã! Eɖe eɖokui fia Simɔn!”
saying, “The Lord was indeed raised, and was seen by Simon”;
35 Ŋutsu eve siwo tso Emaus la hã gblɔ ale si wodo go Yesu le Emaus mɔ dzi eye wòzɔ kpli wo va ɖo Emaus kple ale si wokpɔe dze sii to aboloŋeŋe me na wo.
and they were expounding the things in the way, and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,
36 Esi ŋutsuawo nɔ woƒe nuteƒekpɔkpɔwo gblɔm la, Yesu ŋutɔ va do ɖe wo dome hedo gbe na wo be, “Ŋutifafa na mi.”
and as they are speaking these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, “Peace to you”;
37 Dzika tso ameawo katã ƒo, eye wovɔ̃ ŋutɔŋutɔ, elabena wobu be ŋɔli kpɔm yewole.
and being amazed, and becoming frightened, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.
38 Yesu bia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele vɔvɔ̃m ɖo? Nu ka tae miele ɖi kem le miaƒe dziwo me, be nyee le mia dome?
And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do reasonings come up in your hearts?
39 Milé ŋku ɖe nye asiwo kple afɔwo ŋu nyuie! Miva lém kpɔ, eye miakpɔe kɔtɛe be menye ŋɔlie menye o! Elabena ŋɔliwo la, ŋutilã menɔa wo ŋu abe ale si mele ene o.”
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 Esi wònɔ nua ƒom la, etsɔ eƒe asiwo do ɖe wo gbɔ be woakpɔ abi siwo gatagbadzɛwo de eŋu le eƒe asiƒome kple afɔƒome la ɖa.
And having said this, He showed the hands and the feet to them,
41 Ke ame aɖeke mete ŋu te ɖe eŋu o, elabena dzidzɔ kple ɖikeke yɔ wo me fũu. Le esia ta la, ebia wo be, “Nuɖuɖu aɖe le mia si le afi sia?”
and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, He said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 Wotsɔ lã meme kakɛ aɖe nɛ, eye esi wònɔ
And they gave to Him part of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb,
43 eɖum la, wonɔ ekpɔm!
and having taken, He ate before them,
44 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Esi menɔ anyi kpli mi le ŋkeke siwo va yi me ɖe, nyemegblɔe na mi be nu siwo woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe se la kple Nyagblɔɖilawo kple Psalmowo me tso ŋunye la ava eme oa?”
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 Ale wòʋu woƒe susuwo be woase mawunya siawo katã gɔme.
Then He opened up their understanding to understand the Writings,
46 Yesu yi edzi be, “Vavã, woŋlɔe ɖi tso gbe aɖe gbe ke be ele na Kristo la be wòakpe fu, eye wòaku, eye le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, wòagatsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome.
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 Eye ele be woaɖe gbeƒã dzimetɔtrɔ hena nu vɔ̃wo tsɔtsɔke le eƒe ŋkɔa dzi na dukɔwo katã, eye woadze egɔme tso Yerusalem.
and conversion and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:
48 Miawoe nye ɖasefowo na nu siawo katã.
and you are witnesses of these things.
49 Azɔ nye la, madɔ nu si ƒe ŋugbe Fofonye do na mi la ɖe mia dzi. Ke minɔ Yerusalem afii va se ɖe esime woatsɔ ŋusẽ si atso dziƒo la akɔ ɖe mia dzi.”
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 Yesu kplɔ nusrɔ̃lawo do go va se ɖe Betania, eye wòkɔ eƒe asiwo dzi heyra wo.
And He led them forth outside—to Bethany, and having lifted up His hands He blessed them,
51 Esi wònɔ wo yram la, wokɔe le nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ heyi dziƒoe.
and it came to pass, in His blessing them, He was parted from them, and was carried up into Heaven;
52 Le esime wòdzo yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo dze klo, eye wosubɔe. Emegbe wotrɔ yi Yerusalem kple dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe.
and they, having worshiped Him, turned back to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 Wonɔ Yerusalem gbedoxɔ la me gbe sia gbe henɔ Mawu kafum.
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
