Luk 24
1 Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke izu ụka, nʼezigbo isi ụtụtụ, ha weere mmanụ otite ahụ ha tinyere ọtụtụ ụda nke ha kwadoro gawa nʼili ahụ.
Very early on the first day of the week, the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they'd prepared.
2 Ha chọpụtara na e nupụla nkume e ji dochie nʼọnụ ili ahụ.
They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance to the tomb,
3 Ma mgbe ha banyere nʼime ya, ha ahụghị ahụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs.
but when they went in they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 Dị ka ha nọ na mgbagwoju anya banyere nke a, nʼotu ntabi anya, ha hụrụ mmadụ abụọ yi uwe na-egbu ka amụma guzo ha nso.
While they were wondering what was going on, two men suddenly appeared dressed in clothes that shone brilliantly.
5 Ha kpudoro ihu ha nʼala nʼihi oke egwu, ma mmadụ abụọ ahụ gwara ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-achọ onye dị ndụ nʼetiti ndị nwụrụ anwụ?
The women were terrified and bowed down, their faces on the ground. They said to the women, “Why are you looking for someone who is alive among the dead?
6 Ọ nọkwaghị nʼebe a, o biliela nʼọnwụ, chetakwanụ ihe ọ gwara unu mgbe unu na ya nọ na Galili sị,
He's not here; he's risen from the dead! Remember what he told you while you were still in Galilee:
7 ‘A ghaghị inyefe Nwa nke Mmadụ nʼaka ndị mmehie, a ga-akpọgidekwa ya nʼobe ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ ọ ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie.’”
‘The Son of man must be betrayed into the hands of evil men, be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
8 Mgbe ahụ ha chetara okwu ya.
Then they remembered what he'd said.
9 Mgbe ha sitere nʼili ahụ lọghachi, ha kọọrọ mmadụ iri na otu ahụ na ndị ọzọ niile ihe ndị a.
When they returned from the tomb they reported all that had happened to the eleven disciples and to all the others.
10 Ọ bụ Meri Magdalin, na Joana, na Meri nne Jemis na ụmụ nwanyị ndị ọzọ so ha kọọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ihe a.
Those who told the apostles what had happened were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women with them.
11 Ma ha ekweghị ihe ha gwara ha, nʼihi na okwu ha dị ha ka ọ bụ ihe efu.
But it seemed like nonsense to them, so they didn't believe the women.
12 Ma otu ọ dị, Pita gbaara ọsọ ruo nʼili ahụ, hulata ala hụ ka akwa ozu ndị ahụ tọgbọọrọ onwe ha; ọ lara na-atụgharị uche nʼime onwe ya ihe ihe ndị a pụtara.
However, Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down, he looked in and saw only the linen grave-clothes. So he went back home, wondering what had happened.
13 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, mmadụ abụọ nʼime ha gaje nʼobodo nta a na-akpọ Emaus, nke dị ihe ruru kilomita iri na abụọ site na Jerusalem.
The same day two disciples were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 Ha na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe ha banyere ihe niile mere.
They were talking about all that had happened.
15 Dị ka ha na-ekwu na-akparịta ụka banyere ihe ndị a, Jisọs nʼonwe ya bịara soro ha na-aga ije.
As they discussed and debated, Jesus came up and fell into step with them.
16 Ma e mechiri anya ha ịmata na ọ bụ ya.
But they were kept from recognizing him.
17 Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe unu dị ka unu na-aga nʼụzọ.” Ha kwụsịrị ebe ahụ, gbarụọ ihu ha.
“What are you discussing as you walk along?” he asked them. They stopped, their faces sad.
18 Otu onye nʼime ha a na-akpọ Kleopas, sịrị ya, “Ị bụ onye ọbịa na Jerusalem nke mere na ị maghị ihe mere nʼime ya nʼụbọchị ndị a?”
One of them, called Cleopas, replied, “Are you just visiting Jerusalem? You must be the only person who doesn't know the things that have happened in the past few days.”
19 Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị bụ ihe mere?” Ha sịrị ya, “Banyere Jisọs onye Nazaret! Ọ bụ onye amụma bụrụkwa onye dị ike, ma nʼokwu ma nʼomume nʼihu Chineke na mmadụ niile.
“What things?” Jesus asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet who spoke powerfully and performed great miracles before God and all the people.
20 Na otu ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ọchịchị anyị nyefere ya ka a maa ya ikpe ọnwụ, ma kpọgbukwaa ya nʼobe.
But our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
21 Anyị nwererịị olileanya na ọ bụ ya ga-agbapụta Izrel. Nke ka nke, taa mere ya abalị atọ kemgbe ihe ndị a mere.
We had hoped he was the one who was going to rescue Israel. It's been three days now since all this happened.
22 Tụkwasị ihe ndị a, ụfọdụ ụmụ nwanyị anyị mere ka anyị nwee ihe ịtụnanya. Ha gara nʼili ahụ nʼisi ụtụtụ a.
But then some of the women in our group surprised us.
23 Ma ha ahụghị ahụ ya. Ha bịara kọrọ anyị na ha hụrụ ọhụ nke ndị mmụọ ozi, bụ ndị gwara ha na ọ dị ndụ.
At dawn they went to the tomb and they didn't find his body. They came back saying that they'd seen a vision of angels who told them he's alive.
24 Ya mere ụfọdụ nʼime ndị otu anyị gara nʼili ahụ chọpụta na ihe niile ụmụ nwanyị a kwuru mere otu ahụ ha siri kwuo ya. Ma ha ahụkwaghị ya.”
Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women said—but they didn't see him.”
25 Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu bụ nnọọ ndị nzuzu! Leenụ ka o si siere unu ike ikwere ihe niile ndị amụma kwuru.
Jesus told them, “You're so dull! How slow you are to trust in all that the prophets said!
26 Ọ bụ na o kwesighị ka Kraịst taa ahụhụ ndị a tupu ọ banye nʼebube ya?”
Didn't the Messiah have to suffer before he could enter into his glory?”
27 Ya mere, ọ kọwaara ha ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ banyere ya onwe ya malite na nke Mosis ruo na ndị amụma niile.
Then, starting with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them everything that was said in Scripture about himself.
28 Mgbe ha na-eru obodo nta ahụ ha na-aga, o mere dị ka ọ na-aga nʼihu na njem ya.
As they approached the village they were going to, Jesus made it seem as if he was going farther.
29 Ma ha rịọ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu sị, “Nọnyerenụ anyị nʼihi na chi ebidola iji, ụbọchị agamiekwala ugbu a.” Nʼihi ya ọ banyere ịga nọnyere ha.
But they urged him, saying, “Please come and stay with us. It's getting late—the day is almost over.” So he went to stay with them.
30 Mgbe ya na ha nọdụrụ na tebul iri nri, o were achịcha, kelee Chineke ekele, nyawaa ya were ya nye ha.
When he sat down to eat with them, he took the bread and gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them.
31 Mgbe ahụ, e meghere anya ha, ha amata onye ọ bụ, ha ahụkwaghị ya anya ọzọ.
Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. Then he disappeared from view.
32 Mgbe ahụ, ha gwara onwe ha sị, “Ọ bụ na ọ dịghị ka ọkụ ọ na-enwu nʼobi anyị mgbe anyị na ya nọ nʼụzọ, ya na-ekpughere anyị akwụkwọ nsọ?”
The two disciples said to each other, “Weren't our thoughts on fire when he spoke to us, as he explained the Scriptures to us?”
33 Ha biliri ngwangwa laghachi Jerusalem. Ebe ahụ, ha hụrụ mmadụ iri na otu ahụ na ndị so ha ka ha nọkọtara nʼotu ebe,
They got up right away and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and those who were with them meeting together,
34 na-asị, “Ọ bụ eziokwu, Onyenwe anyị ebiliela, o gosila Saimọn onwe ya.”
who said, “The Lord has really risen again! He has appeared to Simon.”
35 Mgbe ahụ, ha kọọrọ ha ihe mere nʼụzọ, ya na otu ha siri mata ya mgbe ọ nyawara achịcha.
Then those who had just arrived explained to the other disciples what had happened to them on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus when he broke bread.
36 Mgbe ha ka na-ekwu banyere nke a, ya onwe ya guzooro nʼetiti ha sị ha, “Udo dịrị unu.”
While they were talking, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you!”
37 Oke egwu tụrụ ha, obi lọkwara ha mmiri nʼihi na ha chere na ha ahụla mmụọ.
They were startled and afraid, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
38 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị mere ụjọ ji atụ unu, gịnị mere unu ji nwee obi abụọ?
“Why are you frightened? Why are you doubting?” he asked them.
39 Leenụ m anya nʼaka na nʼụkwụ. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m! Metụnụ m aka ka unu hụrụ, nʼihi na mmụọ adịghị enwe anụ ahụ na ọkpụkpụ dị ka unu hụrụ m nwere.”
“Look at my hands and my feet—you can see it's me. Touch me and you'll be certain, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 Mgbe o kwuchara nke a, o gosiri ha aka ya na ụkwụ ya.
Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41 Ma dị ka o siiri ha ike ikwere nʼihi ọṅụ na oke mgbagwoju anya, ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ dị ihe oriri unu nwere ebe a?”
But they still couldn't believe it because they were so elated and amazed. He asked them, “Do you have anything to eat?”
42 Ha nyere ya otu ntakịrị azụ a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ.
They gave him a piece of cooked fish,
43 Ma ọ naara ya rie ya nʼihu ha.
and he took it and ate it in front of them.
44 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Okwu ndị a ka m gwara unu mgbe mụ na unu nọ, na ihe niile e dere nʼiwu Mosis na ndị Amụma na nʼAbụ Ọma banyere m ga-emezucha.”
Then Jesus said to them, “This is what I explained to you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, had to be fulfilled.”
45 Mgbe ahụ, o meghere akọnuche ha ka ha ghọta akwụkwọ nsọ.
Then he opened their minds so they were able to understand the Scriptures.
46 Ọ sịrị ha, “Nke a bụ ihe e dere na, Kraịst ahụ ga-ahụ ahụhụ ma sitekwa nʼọnwụ bilienʼụbọchị nke atọ.
He told them, “It was written like this: the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and in his name
47 Na a ga-ekwusa nchegharị na mgbaghara mmehie site nʼaha ya nye mba niile, malite na Jerusalem.
repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48 Unu bụ ndị akaebe nke ihe ndị a.
You are witnesses of all this.
49 Ma lee, agaje m izitere unu ihe ahụ Nna m kwere na nkwa. Ya mere, nọrọnụ nʼime obodo ruo mgbe a ga-eyikwasị unu ike nke si nʼelu.”
Now I'm going to send you what my Father promised—but wait in the city until you receive power from heaven.”
50 O duuru ha garuo na Betani, chilie aka ya abụọ elu gọzie ha.
Then he led them out until they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 Dị ka ọ na-agọzi ha, ọ sitere nʼebe ha nọ pụọ, e weliri ya elu, baa nʼeluigwe.
While he was blessing them, he left them, and was taken up to heaven.
52 Mgbe ahụ, ha fere ya ofufe jiri oke ọṅụ laghachi na Jerusalem.
They worshiped him, and then they returned to Jerusalem full of joy.
53 Ha nọgidere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ na-eto Chineke oge niile.
They spent all their time in the Temple praising God.
