Luka 24
1 Le kɔsiɖa ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ ƒe ŋdi kanya la, nyɔnuawo tsɔ ami ʋeʋĩawo ɖe asi heva yɔdoa to,
On the Sabbath Day they rested in obedience to the commandment, but in the deep dawn of the first day of the week they took the spices which they had prepared, and came to the tomb.
2 gake wokpɔe be womli kpe gã si wotsɔ tu yɔdoa nui la ɖa.
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 Woge ɖe yɔdoa me, gake womekpɔ Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe kukua o.
and on entering 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.
While they were still perplexed over this, it happened that the two men stood near them in dazzling raiment.
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?
They were terrified, and bowed down their faces to the ground, but the men said to them. "Why are you seeking him who lives among 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; he is risen. Do you remember how he told you when he was still 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.’”
that the Son of man had to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day?"
8 Nyɔnuawo ɖo ŋku eƒe nyawo dzi.
Then they recollected his words,
9 Esime wogbɔ tso yɔdo la gbɔ la, woka nu siawo katã ta na ame wuiɖekɛawo kple ame bubuawo katã.
and turning away from the tomb they told all this 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.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James, and the rest of the women who were telling all this to the apostles.
11 Esi nusrɔ̃lawo se nyɔnuawo ƒe nyawo la, ɖeko wòɖi glitoto le woƒe towo me.
But the whole story seemed to them but an idle tale; and they disbelieved the women.
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.
Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb, but when he stooped and looked in he saw the linen wrappings by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was 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.
On that same day two of his disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 Wonɔ dze ɖom kple wo nɔewo tso nu siwo katã va dzɔ la ŋuti.
They were talking together about all these events,
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 as they talked and discussed matter, Jesus himself drew near and began walking beside them.
16 Gake womekpɔe dze si o, elabena wotsyɔ̃ nu woƒe ŋkuwo dzi.
But their eyes continued to be held that they should not recognize him even for an instant,
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 words are these that you are exchanging one with another, as you walk along?"
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.”
They stood still, looking sad. And one of them named Cleopas, answered him, "Do you sojourn alone in Jerusalem, that you do not know what things have been happening there 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.
"What kind of things?" he answered. And they said. "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty 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.
"and how our high priest and ruler delivered him to be condemned to 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.
"But we were hoping that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this is the third day since these things happened.
22 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, míaƒe nyɔnuawo dometɔ aɖewo do voɖi na mí. Woyi yɔdoa to fɔŋli sia
"Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They went to his tomb at daybreak,
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 found that his body was not there; then they came and told us that besides they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was 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.”
"Thereupon some of our own party to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said, but him they did not see."
25 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Mi ame manyanuwo! Esesẽna na mi be miaxɔ nya siwo katã nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ da ɖi la dzi ase!
"O foolish men," said Jesus, "slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Alo mele na Kristo be wòakpe fu siawo katã hafi age ɖe eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la me o mahã?”
"Behooved it not the Christ to suffer thus, and then 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 beginning with Moses and the Prophets, he interpreted all the passages concerning himself.
28 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, wogogo Emaus, kɔƒe si me woyina la. Yesu wɔ abe ɖe wòle eme tsom ene, eya ta
When they drew near to the village to which they are were going, he appeared to be going farther.
29 woɖe kuku nɛ be wòatsi yewo gbɔ adɔ ŋu nake, elabena zã do vɔ keŋ. Ale Yesu lɔ̃, eye wòyi woƒe aƒe me.
But they urged him to stay with them, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent."
30 Esi wonɔ anyi be yewoaɖu nu la, eyra ɖe nuɖuɖua dzi, eye wòtsɔ abolo, ŋe eme hetsɔe na wo.
So he went in to stay with them. But as he sat down with them, and took bread, and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,
31 Kasia, woƒe ŋkuwo ʋu, eye wokpɔe dze sii be eyae nye Yesu, eye enumake wòbu le wo gbɔ.
their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.
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?”
"Were not our hearts burning within us," they said to each other, "while we were talking with him on the way, and he was opening to us the scriptures?"
33 Enumake wogatso dze mɔ ɖo ta Yerusalem, eye esi woɖo afi ma la, wokpɔ nusrɔ̃la wuiɖekɛawo kple Yesu yomedzela bubuwo.
So they rose and returned to Jerusalem that very hour, and found the Eleven and the others all met together,
34 Nusrɔ̃lawo gblɔ na wo be, “Aƒetɔ la tsi tsitre vavã! Eɖe eɖokui fia Simɔn!”
saying, "The Lord is really risen, and has appeared to 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.
Then they began to tell what happened on the road, and he was known to them when he broke 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.”
While they were yet speaking he stood among them and said, "Peace be to you!"
37 Dzika tso ameawo katã ƒo, eye wovɔ̃ ŋutɔŋutɔ, elabena wobu be ŋɔli kpɔm yewole.
They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.
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 disturbed? And why do questions rise 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.”
"Look at my hands and my feet. It is I! Feel me and see; for a ghost has not flesh and blood as I have."
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.
Then he showed them his hands and feet.
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?”
But while they still did not believe it for joy, and were filled with wonder, he asked them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
42 Wotsɔ lã meme kakɛ aɖe nɛ, eye esi wònɔ
So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43 eɖum la, wonɔ ekpɔm!
and he took it and ate it in their presence.
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?”
Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, how all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms concerning me."
45 Ale wòʋu woƒe susuwo be woase mawunya siawo katã gɔme.
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
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. "Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead, 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 that repentance unto remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 Miawoe nye ɖasefowo na nu siawo katã.
"You must bear testimony to this.
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 I will send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But tarry in 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 out until they were over against Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 Esi wònɔ wo yram la, wokɔe le nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ heyi dziƒoe.
And it happened that while he was blessing them, that he parted from them and was carried into heaven.
52 Le esime wòdzo yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo dze klo, eye wosubɔe. Emegbe wotrɔ yi Yerusalem kple dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe.
And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 Wonɔ Yerusalem gbedoxɔ la me gbe sia gbe henɔ Mawu kafum.
and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
