Luka 24
1 Haba fuma ku makalo e nviki, ci baya kwi bita ku leta mafuta a nunka a baba lukisi.
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 Baba wani ivwe ci lya pindumunwa kwi bita.
They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
3 Cibe njila mukati, mi kana baba wani citunta ca Jesu.
They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
4 Ci kwa tendahala bulyo, haba ba kusi lyangene nezo, kapilipili bakwame bobele ciba zimana ha mbali nebo muzizabalo zi benya.
They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
5 Banakazi babe zwile ku tiya ciba kubama hansi cha zi fateho zabo, ci ba wamba ku Banakazi “chinzi hamu saka bahala ku ba fwile?
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 Ka kwina munu, Mi ca buswa, muhupule mwa ba wambili na sina mwa Galilea,
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 Chati mwana we Ireeza ka hewe mu mayanza aba tenda zibi ni ku mu kokotela, Imi ke zuba lya butatu ka buke.”
‘[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 Banakazi ciba hupula manzwi akwe,
The [women] remembered that he had said that.
9 ciba zwa kwi bita ni kuka wamba zintu zonse ku balutwana ni bantu bonse.
So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
10 Linu, Maria Madgalena, Joana, ni Mary nyina wa James ni bamwi Banakazi ciba biha zintu zonse ku ba Apositola.
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 Imi i impiho ciya bonala kusa zuweka hande kuba Apositola, imi kana bab zumini zi baba wambi Banakazi.
But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
12 Pitrosi cha zima niku tilila kwi bita, cha zima niku lola mukati, aba boni fela majila fela. Pitrosi aba boli ku Munzi na komoketwe chiba tendahali.
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 Celyo izuba balutwana bobele baba kuya ku munzi uba ku sumpwa Emmaus, ubena makumi ena i yanza ni kumi lyonke lye stadia kwa Jerusalema.
That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
14 ciba ambola ni bamwi cezo zi ba tendahali.
They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
15 Kuba tendahali kuti haba ba ku wamba ni kuli buza Jesu cha li bonahaza ku bali.
While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
16 Imi menso abo aba ku kangwa ku mwi ziba.
But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
17 Jesu aba wambi ku bali, “chinzi inwe mu wamba mu bobele cimu ya buyenda?” Chiba zima ni ku lola ni ba swabite,
[Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
18 Zumwi kubali we zina lya Cleopas ca mwi taba, “Kana njewe u muntu wenke mwa Jerusalema ya sezi zintu zi ba tendahali mwa anu mazuba?”
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 Jesu ca wamba ku bali, “zintu zihi”? Ciba mwi taba, Zintu zi amana ni Jesu wa Nazareta, yabali Mupolofita, we misebezi mu manzwi, habusu bwa mulimu ne chisi.
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 Lyahanu ba Prisita ba kulwana ni Bayendisi, mumu baba mubetekeli ni ku mu nyansa kuti a kokotelwe ni kwi haiwa.
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 Imi tuba hupwile kuti njete na lukulule Israele. yee, nihakuba bulyo izi celi izuba lyo butatu kuzwa zonse zintu ha zi tendahala.
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 Kono banakazi bamwi be nkopano baba tukomokisi, kaku pakelela kwi bita,
On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
23 Imi kana baba ka mu wani chitunta, baba boli chi bakati nabo ba ba boni impono ya Mangeloi baba wambi kuti u hala.
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 Bamwi ba Kwame mukati ketu baba yendi kwi bita, ciba kawana muba ba teli Banakazi, kono kana baba ka mu wani.”
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 Jesu aba wambi kubali kuti, Mawe inwe bantu musa zuwisisi bene inkulo zi lyeha ku lemuha ziwambo za ba wambi mupolofita.
He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
26 Kana kena kubali kwa butokwa kuti Jesu a nyandiswe ni kwi njila mwi kanya,
([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 Kwi ntazi ku zwa kwa Mushe ku ya ku baprofita bonse, Jesu caba tolokela zintu ku amana naye mu mañolo.
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 Hachi ba ba sutelele ku munzi ku baba kuya, Jesu aba tendi ubu aba kusi zwila habusu,
They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
29 kono chiba mu cho kuti, “wi kale neswe, imi celi chitengu ni zuba chiliya kuku mina” linu Jesu cha bola mukati kwi kala nabo.
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 Ku ba tendahali kuti haba kala naye ku lya, cha hinda chinkwa ku chi fuyola ni ku chi komauna cha baha,
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 Linu menso abo aba tondi ni chi ba mwi ziba, Imi cha zwa mu menso abo,
And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
32 Chiba wamba kuzumwi ni zumwi, “kana inkulo kazi bili mukati ketu? Ha wamba kwetu munzila, ha tu wumbwila mañolo.”
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 Chiba zima che nako iyo ni ku yenda kwa Jerusalema, chi ba wana Balutwana bena ikumi ni yenke ni bamwi ba bena nabo,
So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
34 chi bati initi Jesu aba buki ni ku libonekisa kwa Simoni,
who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
35 chi ba wamba zintu zonse ziba tendahali mwi nzila, ni Jesu mwa ba tondelezwa ni kamo Jesu haba ku komauna chinkwa.
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 Haba ba ku wamba bulyo, Jesu cha zima mukati kabo, cha wamba ku bali chati “Ku sanga kube ne nwe”.
As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
37 Kono baba bi ni sabo niku tiya ahulu, ni ku bonala kuti ba bona luhuho lu jolola.
They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
38 Jesu aba wambi ku bali, “Chinzi hamu bilela, ni kuba ni puzo mwi nkulo zenu?
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 Mu bone mu mayanza angu ni matende kuti njeme. Muni wonde niku ni lola, sina luhuho lu jolola halu sena inyama ne zi fuha sina muni kalile me”.
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 Ha wamba bulyo aba ba tondezi mayanza ni matende a kwe.
After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
41 Haba ba kwina mu ku sa zumina bakeñisa cha ku sanga bulyo niku komokwa Jesu cha wamba ku bali mwina chimwi chete mulye?
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 Chiba muha chiyemba che nswi zi jichitwe,
[So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
43 Jesu cha hinda ni kulya mubusu bwa bo.
While they were watching, he took it and ate it.
44 Aba wambi ku bali, “kuti hani bena nenwe, ni ba mi wambile kuti zonse ziba ñolwa ka mulawo wa Mushe ni we chiprofita ni manolo a Lisamu e zuzilizwe”.
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 Cwale che yalula ingana zabo, kuti ba zuwisise mañolo.
Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
46 Aba wambi kubali kuti, “chiba ñoletwe kuti Jesu u swanela ku nyandiswa ni ku buka ku ba fwile che zuba lyo butatu.
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 Niku bakila zibi zetu kuti tu swalele, zi swanela kukutazwa mwi zina lyakwe ku zisi zonse, ku matango a Jerusalema.
[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 Mumpaki wezi zintu.
You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.
49 Mubone, nimi tumina zaba sepisi Tayo. Kono mu shale mu Muleneñi konji chi mwa bwikwa ni inguzu zi zwa kwi wulu.”
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 Cwale Jesu cha ba hitila mane kuka sika ha fwihi ni Bethani. Mi cha zimika mayanza no ku ba fuyaula.
Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 Ku ba tendahali kuti haba kuba fuyola aba siyi ni ku hindwa kwi wulu.
As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
52 Linu chiba mu lapelela kaku sanga ni ku bola kwa Jerusalema ke cha ku sanga.
They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.
53 Chiba zwila ha busu mwi inkeleke ku temba Ireeza.
Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
