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 week, in the morning, while it was yet dark, they came to the sepulchre, and brought the aromatics they had prepared. And there were other women with them.
2 gake wokpɔe be womli kpe gã si wotsɔ tu yɔdoa nui la ɖa.
And they found the stone rolled from the sepulchre.
3 Woge ɖe yɔdoa me, gake womekpɔ Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe kukua o.
And they entered, and found not the body of 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 as they wondered at this, behold, two men stood opposite them; and their raiment was effulgent.
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 they were in fear, and bowed their faces to the ground. And the men said to them: Why seek ye the living 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. Remember how he conversed with you, when he was 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.’”
and said, That the Son of man was to be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day.
8 Nyɔnuawo ɖo ŋku eƒe nyawo dzi.
And they remembered his words.
9 Esime wogbɔ tso yɔdo la gbɔ la, woka nu siawo katã ta na ame wuiɖekɛawo kple ame bubuawo katã.
And they returned from the sepulchre, and related all these things to the eleven, and to 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.
Now they were Mary Magdalena, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who related these things to the Legates.
11 Esi nusrɔ̃lawo se nyɔnuawo ƒe nyawo la, ɖeko wòɖi glitoto le woƒe towo me.
And these words appeared in their eyes as dreams: and they believed them not.
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.
But Simon arose, and ran to the sepulchre, and looked in, and saw the linen lying by itself: and he went away wondering in himself at what had occurred.
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 lo, two of them, on the same day, were going to a village named Emmaus, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
14 Wonɔ dze ɖom kple wo nɔewo tso nu siwo katã va dzɔ la ŋuti.
And they talked together of all that had occurred.
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 conversed, and questioned each other, Jesus came, and drew near, and walked with them.
16 Gake womekpɔe dze si o, elabena wotsyɔ̃ nu woƒe ŋkuwo dzi.
And their eyes were held, that they did not recognize 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 discourses, which ye hold with each other, as ye walk and 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 of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou knowest not the things that have occurred there 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.
He said to them: What things? They say to him: In regard to Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, and mighty in discourse and in action, before God, and before 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 the chief priests and Elders delivered him up to a sentence 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.
But we expected that he was to deliver Israel. And lo, three days have passed, since all these things occurred.
22 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, míaƒe nyɔnuawo dometɔ aɖewo do voɖi na mí. Woyi yɔdoa to fɔŋli sia
And moreover, certain women of ours astonished us; for they went early to the sepulchre;
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 as they did not find the body, they came and said to us: We saw angels there, and they said that 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 also some of us went to the sepulchre; and they found, as the women reported; but him they saw not.
25 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Mi ame manyanuwo! Esesẽna na mi be miaxɔ nya siwo katã nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ da ɖi la dzi ase!
Then Jesus said to them: O deficient in understanding, and slow of heart to believe all the things that the prophets uttered.
26 Alo mele na Kristo be wòakpe fu siawo katã hafi age ɖe eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la me o mahã?”
Were not these things to be; that the Messiah should suffer and that he should 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.
Then he began from Moses, and from all the prophets, and expounded to them concerning himself from all the scriptures.
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 drew near to the village to which they were going; and he made them feel, as if he would go to a more distant place.
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 urged him, and said to him: Tarry with us, for the day inclineth towards dark. 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 occurred, while he reclined with them, that he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.
31 Kasia, woƒe ŋkuwo ʋu, eye wokpɔe dze sii be eyae nye Yesu, eye enumake wòbu le wo gbɔ.
And instantly, their eyes were opened, and, they knew him. And he took himself from 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 one to another: Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and explained 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.
And they arose, the same hour, and returned: to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven assembled, and those with them,
34 Nusrɔ̃lawo gblɔ na wo be, “Aƒetɔ la tsi tsitre vavã! Eɖe eɖokui fia Simɔn!”
who were saying: Certainly, our Lord hath risen; and he hath 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.
And they also related what occurred by the way, and how he became known to them, when he broke 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 while they were talking of these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be with you! It is I; be not afraid.
37 Dzika tso ameawo katã ƒo, eye wovɔ̃ ŋutɔŋutɔ, elabena wobu be ŋɔli kpɔm yewole.
And they were in trepidation and fear, for they supposed they saw 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?
Jesus said to them: Why are ye agitated? And why do imaginations arise 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, that it is myself. Handle me, and know; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me 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.
And as he said thus, he showed them his hands and his 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?”
And while they still believed not, for their joy, and were astonished; he said to them: Have ye here any thing to eat?
42 Wotsɔ lã meme kakɛ aɖe nɛ, eye esi wònɔ
And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of honeycomb.
43 eɖum la, wonɔ ekpɔm!
And he took, and 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 things which I said to you while I was with you, That all things written of me, in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, must be fulfilled.
45 Ale wòʋu woƒe susuwo be woase mawunya siawo katã gɔme.
Then he opened their mind 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 to them: Thus it is written, and thus it was right for Messiah to suffer, and rise from 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 that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem.
48 Miawoe nye ɖasefowo na nu siawo katã.
And ye are the 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 I will send upon you the promise of my Father. But remain ye at Jerusalem until ye shall be clothed with energy 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 as far as Bethany, and lifted his hands, and blessed them.
51 Esi wònɔ wo yram la, wokɔe le nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ heyi dziƒoe.
And it occurred, while he blessed them, that he was separated from them, and ascended to heaven.
52 Le esime wòdzo yina la, nusrɔ̃lawo dze klo, eye wosubɔe. Emegbe wotrɔ yi Yerusalem kple dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe.
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 Wonɔ Yerusalem gbedoxɔ la me gbe sia gbe henɔ Mawu kafum.
And they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. Completion of the holy Gospel of Luke the Evangelist.
