1 Hanki ese knazupa Sonta nanterana rumsa osu'nege'za, mananentake'zama tro hu'nazaza eri'za Jisasi afufga'ama havegampi ome ante'narega vu'naze.
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].
2 Hagi zamagrama vu'za ome kazana, ana havegante'ma runkanire'nea havea rezahe hutrenage'za ke'naze.
They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
3 Hianagi zamagrama havegampima ufre'za kazana, Ramofo Jisasi avufga omnenege'za ome ke'naze.
They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
4 Avufa'a nonke'za tusi zamagesa nentahizageno, masanentake huno efeke kukena hu'na'a netremoke ame hu'ne anante otinake'za,
They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
5 ana a'nemo'za zamagogogu nehu'za, kepri hu'za mani'nageno, ana netremoke anage hu'ne zamasami'na'e. Na'a higeta kasefa huno mani'nea vahekura, fri vahe kumapina nehakraze?
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]
6 Amafina Agra omanine, frinefintira ko oti'ne. Hanki tamagranema Galili mani'neno tamasami'nea kegu tamagesa antahiho.
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,
7 Vahe'mofo Mofavrea kumike vahe'mofo zamazampi avrentena, rugeka zafare ahesnageno friteno, tagufa kna manino otigahie, huno hu'nea kegu tamagesa antahiho,
‘[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].’”
8 hu'ne nehake'za ana a'nemo'za Jisasi'ma hu'nea kegu zamagesa nentahi'za,
The [women] remembered that he had said that.
9 ana havegana atre'za rukrehe hu'za vu'za, 11ni'a amagema nentaza naga'ane, ruga'amokizminena maka nanekea ome zamasmi vagare'naze.
So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
10 Hanki ana a'nemokizmi zamagi'a, Makdala kumateti' a' Mariaki, magora Joanaki, Jemisi nerera agi'a Maria ene, mago'a a'nemo'zane, ana nanekea aposolo nagara ome zmasami'naze.
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.
11 Hianagi anankema nentahiza amne kehaze nehu'za, anankegura zamentinti osu'naze.
But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
12 Hianagi Pita'a otino agareno vuno havegante ome kepri huno agu'afi keana, efeke tavravema ana kinte'naza tavravege me'negeno negeno, rukrahe huno anazanku tusiza huno agesa antahime vu'ne.
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.
13 Ana zupage tare amagema nenta'a disaipol netremokea Emeus nehaza kumate vu'na'e. Ana kumateti Jerusalemi vanazana 11 kilomitanaza me'ne.
That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
14 Zanagra maka'za fore'ma hu'nea zanku naneke hume nevakeno,
They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
15 Jisasi'a Agra'a ehanatige'za magoka ana netrene vu'naze.
While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
16 Hianagi zanavurgamofona rehiza higene Jisasi'e huke ke anke orena'e.
But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
17 Jisasi'a anage huno zanasami'ne, Na'anku ama nanekea tanagra hugantugma hutna nea'e? huno znantahigegene anante zanasunku nehuke uoti'na'e.
[Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
18 Hagi magomofo agi'a Kriopasi'e nehaza ne'mo ana kemofo nona'a huno, kagrake'za Jerusalemi nantu antenka ne-enka amagnafima fore hu'nea zana ontahi'nano?
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]”
19 Jisasi'a anage huno zanasami'ne, Nanknaza fore hu'negeta neha'e? Higeno Nazareti Jisasinte'ma fore hu'nea zanku nehu'e. Agra kasnampa ne'kino, Anumzamofo avure'ene, maka vahe'mofo avurera, eri'zama'amo'ene keamo'enana hanavenentake hu'nea ne'ma,
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]!
20 ugagota pristi vahe'mo'zane, kva vahetimo'zane ahesageno frisniegu, avarezamizage'za ahe'za keka zafare hantinaza ne'ku nehu'e.
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.
21 Hianagi tagrama tagesa antahunana, Israeli vahe'mota knazantifinti tahoke ahesia nere huta nentahune. Tamage, ama anazama fore'ma hu'neana 3'a zagegna evu'ne.
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.
22 Hianagi tagripinti ana havegante nanterame ome ke'naza, a'nemo'za antri hu'na ke eme tasamiza,
On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
23 avufa'a omne'nege'za ome negazageno, avana kazankna huke, tare ankero netremoke, kasefa huno Jisasi'a mani'ne huke huna'a naneke eme tasami'naze.
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!
24 Hagi tagripinti mago'amo'za havegantega anaza ome kenaku vu'naze. Mika zanku'ma ana anemo'za hu'nazaza ome kazanagi, Jisasina onke'naze.
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].”
25 Jisasi'a amanage huno zanasami'ne, Kasnampa vahe'mo'za hu'naza maka nanekegura negi nenetma tamagu'afina tamentintia nosaze!
He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
26 Kraisi'a ataza eriteno, masa'afi ufresiana, knarera osugahio? I'o.
([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]”
27 Huteno anante agafa huno, Mosesinteti vuno maka kasnampa vahe'mo'zama, Agrikuma hu'za krente'naza kea eriama huno zanasamime vu'ne.
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].
28 Hagi zanagrama vunaku'ma hu'na'a kumate unehanatizageno, Jisasi'a ana kumara agatereno vaniaza hu'ne.
They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
29 Hianagi hanavetike agaterenka ovugahane huke zanagra nehuke, hani huza nehianki masetenka vanane hu'ne kazigazi hakeno, ana nompi zanagrane umareri'ne.
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.
30 Jisasima nezama nenaku trate umanineno breti erino, Anumzamofo susu hunteteno, tamanasino agafa huno neznamigeno,
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.
31 zanavurgamo hari higeke Jisasi'e huke ke ankenerakeno, Jisasi'a ru fanane hu'ne.
And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
32 Zanagra zanagra anage hu'na'e, kantegama neokenoma keagama nerasamino, Anumzamofo avontafepinti kema eriama nehigeno'a, tagu'amo'a otianagi, keta antahita osu'no'e.
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]!”
33 Zanagra anage nehuke, ame huke rukrehe huke Jerusalemi kumate vu'na'e. Jisasima amage'ma nentaza 11ni'a disaipol naga'mo'zane, mago'a naga'moza'nena eri atru hu'nage'za ome nezmagake'za,
So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
34 Zamagra anage hu'naze, tamage Ramo'a otino, Saimoninte ufore hu'ne! Hu'za nehazageke,
who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
35 ana amagema nenta'a disaipol netremoke kantega fore hu'neazane, breti erino tamanasino znamigeke, Jisasina ke ankerena'a agenke huama hu'na'e.
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].
36 Ana zanku'ma naneke nehazageno'a, Jisasi'a amu'nozimifi efore huno otineno anage hu'ne, Tamarimpa frune maniho.
As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
37 Hianagi zamagra havi avamu negone hu'za zamagesa nentahi'za, antri hu'za koro hu'naze.
They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
38 Ana nehazageno Jisasi'a anage huno zmasamine. Nahigeta korera nehuta, tare tamagutmagesa nentahize?
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]
39 Ama Nagrani'a mani'noanki nagane, nazanena navako hutma keho. Na'ankure Nagrima hu'neaza huno, hankromofona avufgane zaferinanena omane'ne.
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!”
40 Anagema huteno'a, agane, azane anamokizmi zameri hu'ne.
After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
41 Na'ankure zamagra tusi muse nehu'za, antri nehu'za zamentinti nosazageno, Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, Tamagra mago'a ne'zana ante'nazafi?
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?”
42 Zamagra kre hagege hunte'nea nozame eri amizageno,
[So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
43 anamokizmi zamure erino nenege'za ke'naze.
While they were watching, he took it and ate it.
44 Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagra tamagrane mani'nena, anage hu'noe, maka kema Nagrikuma hu'za Mosese kasegefine, kasnampa vahe'mo'za krenaza kefine, zagame avontafepima krente'nea zamo'a nena'a fore hugahie.
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!”
45 Anante Jisasi'a zamaza huno antahintahizmia zamazeri ama hige'za, maka Anumzamofo avontafepima krente'nea kea antahini hu'naze.
Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
46 Agra anage huno zamasami'ne, Avontafepina amanage huno krente'ne, Kraisina ahesageno ata erino friteno, tagufa knare otigahie.
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.
47 Vahe'mo'za Agri agifi, zamagu'a rukrahe hanageno, Anumzamo'a kefozazimi eritrezamantesia kea, Jerusalemi kumate erigafa hute'za, mika kokankoka vahete vugahaze.
[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.
48 Tamagra Nagritema fore higetma ke'naza zana huama hugahaze.
You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.
49 Hanki antahiho, Nafa'nimo huvempa huno tamigahue hu'nemofona, huntesugeno tamagrite egahie. Hu'neanagi tamagra (Jerusalemi) rankumapi manineta monafinti hanavea eriteta vuta eta hiho.
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].”
50 Jisasi'a anage huteno zamavareno Betani vuno azana erisaga hunagamuteno, asomu ke huzmante'ne.
Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 Anama hunezmantegeno, Anumzamo'a avregeno zmatreno monafi mareri'ne.
As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
52 Zamagra mono huntete'za, tusi musenkase hume Jerusalemi kumate ete vu'naze.
They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.
53 Ana hute'za ra mono nompi mareri'za Anumzamofo agi erisaga huvava hu'naze.
Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
