Ruka 24
1 Nomusi wokutanga wevhiki, mambakwedza, vakadzi vaya vakatora zvinonhuhwira zvavakanga vagadzira vakaenda kuguva.
but, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, unto the tomb, came they, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 Vakawana ibwe rakungurutswa kubva paguva,
And they found the stone, rolled away from the tomb;
3 asi vakati vapinda, vakashayiwa mutumbi waIshe Jesu.
but, when they entered, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 Pavakanga vachiri kushamisika nazvo, pakarepo varume vaviri vakanga vakapfeka nguo chena dzaipenya semheni vakamira parutivi pavo.
And it came to pass, while they were perplexing themselves concerning this, that lo! two men, stood near them, in dazzling raiment.
5 Mukutya kwavo, vakadzi vaya vakakotamisa pasi zviso zvavo, asi varume ava vakati kwavari, “Seiko muchitsvaka mupenyu pakati pavakafa?
And, they becoming afraid, and bending their faces unto the ground, they said unto them—Why seek ye the Living One with the dead?
6 Haapo pano; amuka! Rangarirai zvaakakuudzai, paakanga achinemi muGarirea kuti:
He is not here, but hath arisen: Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee:
7 ‘Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kuiswa mumaoko avatadzi, arovererwe pamuchinjikwa agomukazve pazuva rechitatu.’”
Saying, as to the Son of Man, that he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, —and, on the third day, arise.
8 Ipapo vakarangarira mashoko ake.
And they remembered his sayings;
9 Vakati vadzoka kubva kuguva, vakataurira vane gumi nomumwe zvinhu zvose izvi, uye nokuna vamwe vose.
and, returning [from the tomb], reported all these things unto the eleven, and unto all the rest.
10 VanaMaria Magadharena, naJohana, Maria mai vaJakobho, uye navamwe vavaiva navo ndivo vakandoudza vapostori izvozvo.
Now they were the Magdalene Mary, and Joana, and Mary the mother of James; and, the other women with them, were telling, unto the apostles, these things.
11 Asi havana kutenda vakadzi ava, nokuti mashoko avo ainge upenzi kwavari.
And these sayings appeared before them, as if idle talk, and they were minded to disbelieve them.
12 Zvisinei hazvo, Petro, akasimuka, akamhanyira kuguva. Akakotama, akaona micheka iri yoga, ndokubva adzokera kumba, achishamisika mumwoyo make nezvakanga zvaitika.
But, Peter, arising, ran unto the tomb, —and, bending near, beholdeth the linen bandages, alone; and departed, unto himself, marvelling at the thing that had happened.
13 Zvino musi mumwe chete iwoyo, varume vaviri vakanga vachienda kumusha wainzi Emausi, makiromita anenge gumi nerimwe chete kubva kuJerusarema.
And lo! two from among them, on the selfsame day, were journeying unto a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which, was Emmaus;
14 Vakanga vachitaurirana pamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvakanga zvaitika.
and, they, were conversing one with another, about all these things which had occurred.
15 Vachiri kutaura nokukurukurirana pamusoro pezvinhu izvi, Jesu pachake akabva asvika uye akafamba navo;
And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them;
16 asi meso avo akabatwa zvokuti havana kumuziva.
but, their eyes, were held, so as not to know him.
17 Akavabvunza akati, “Muri kukurukurirana pamusoro peiko, zvamuri kufamba kudai?” Vakamira vakanyarara, zviso zvavo zvakasuwa.
And he said unto them—What are these things which ye are debating one with another, as ye walk along? And they came to a stand, sad in countenance.
18 Mumwe wavo ainzi Kiropasi, akati kwaari, “Ndiwe woga mushanyi muJerusarema asingazivi zvinhu zvakaitikamo mumazuva ano aya here?”
But one, by name Cleopas, answering, said unto him—Art, thou, lodging, alone, in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days?
19 Jesu akati, “Zveiko?” Vakapindura vachiti, “ZvaJesu weNazareta. Aiva muprofita, aiva nesimba mushoko napamabasa pamberi paMwari uye nokuvanhu vose.
And he said unto them—What things? And, they, said unto him—The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people:
20 Vaprista vakuru navatongi vedu vakamuendesa kuti andotongerwa rufu, saka vakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa;
In what way also our High-priests and Rulers delivered him up unto a sentence of death, and crucified him.
21 asi isu takanga tichitarisira kuti ndiye akanga achizodzikinura vaIsraeri. Pamusoro paizvozvo, ratova zuva rechitatu kubvira pazvakaitika.
We, however, were hoping that, he, was the one destined to redeem Israel! But indeed, even with all these things, this brings on, the third, day, since these things happened: —
22 Uyezve vamwe vakadzi vokwedu vatishamisa. Vaenda kuguva nhasi mambakwedza
Nay! certain women also, from amongst us, have made us beside ourselves, in that they went early unto the tomb;
23 asi havana kuwana mutumbi wake urimo. Vauya vakatiudza kuti vaona chiratidzo chavatumwa, avo vati iye mupenyu.
and, not finding his body, came, saying—that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.
24 Ipapo dzimwe shamwari dzedu dzaenda kuguva dzikawana zviri izvo chaizvo zvanga zvataurwa navakadzi vaya, asi iye havana kumuona.”
And certain of them who were with us departed unto the tomb, —and found so, according as, the women, had said; but, him, they saw not.
25 Iye akati kwavari, “Haiwa imi vokusanzwisisa, uye vane mwoyo inononoka kutenda zvose zvakarehwa navaprofita!
And, he, said unto them—O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken: —
26 Ko, Kristu akanga asingafaniri kutambudzika pazvinhu izvi agozopinda mukubwinya kwake here?”
Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory?
27 Ipapo akatanga naMozisi navaprofita vose, akavatsanangurira zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake mumagwaro.
And, beginning from Moses, and from all the prophets, he thoroughly explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself.
28 Kuzoti vava kusvika mumusha mavakanga vachienda, Jesu akaita sokunge oda kupfuurira.
And they drew near unto the village, whither they were journeying; and, he, made for journeying, further.
29 Asi vakamugombedzera zvikuru vachiti, “Garai nesu, nokuti kwava kudoka; zuva rava kuvira.” Saka akapinda kuti andogara navo.
And they constrained him, saying—Abide with us; because it is, towards evening, and the day hath already declined. And he went in to abide with them.
30 Akati agara navo patafura, akatora chingwa, akavonga, akachimedura akatanga kuvapa.
And it came to pass, when he reclined with them, taking the loaf, he blessed, and, breaking it, went on to give unto them.
31 Ipapo meso avo akasvinudzwa vakamuziva, akabva anyangarika pamberi pavo.
And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them.
32 Vakabvunzana vachiti, “Ko, mwoyo yedu yanga isingapisi neiko mukati medu zvaanga achitaura nesu mumugwagwa uye achitizarurira magwaro?”
And they said one to another—Was not, our heart, burning, as he was speaking to us in the way, as he was opening to us the Scriptures?
33 Vakasimuka panguva iyoyo vakadzokera kuJerusarema. Ikoko, vakandowana vane Gumi noMumwe navamwe vavaiva navo, vakaungana pamwe chete
And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem, —and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them,
34 vachiti, “Ichokwadi! Ishe amuka uye azviratidza kuna Simoni.”
saying—In truth, the Lord hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Simon!
35 Ipapo vaviri ava vakataura zvakanga zvaitika munzira, uye kuti vakaziva sei Jesu paakamedura chingwa.
And, they, went on to relate the things, [that had passed] on the journey, and how he was made known unto them in the breaking of the loaf.
36 Pavakanga vachiri kutaura pamusoro pazvo, Jesu pachake akasvikomira pakati pavo akati, “Rugare ngaruve nemi.”
Now, as, these very things, they were telling, he himself, stood in their midst and saith unto them—Peace to you!
37 Vakavhunduka uye vakatya, vachifunga kuti vaona mweya.
But, being agitated and becoming, afraid, they began to imagine, that, upon a spirit, they were looking.
38 Iye akati kwavari, “Munotambudzika neiko, uye seiko kukahadzika kuchimuka mupfungwa dzenyu?
And he said unto them—Why are ye troubled? and for what cause do reasonings arise in your hearts?
39 Tarisai maoko angu netsoka dzangu. Ndini iye! Ndibatei muone; mweya hauna nyama namapfupa, sezvamunoona ndinazvo ini.”
See my hands, and my feet, —that it is, I, myself: Handle me, and see! because, a spirit, hath not, flesh and bones, as ye perceive, I, have.
40 Akati areva izvi, akavaratidza maoko ake netsoka dzake.
And, this saying, he pointed out to them his hands and his feet.
41 Uye pavakanga vachigere kutenda nokuda kwomufaro uye vachishamiswa, akavabvunza akati, “Mune chokudya here pano?”
Now, while yet they believed not for the joy, and were marvelling, he said unto them—Have ye anything to eat, here?
42 Vakamupa chimedu chehove yakagochwa,
And they gave unto him a piece of boiled fish;
43 uye akachitora akachidya pamberi pavo.
and, taking it before them, he did eat.
44 Akati kwavari, “Izvi ndizvo zvandaikuudzai ndichinemi kuti: Zvinhu zvose zvakanyorwa pamusoro pangu muMurayiro waMozisi, naVaprofita nomuMapisarema zvinofanira kuzadziswa.”
And he said unto them—These, are my words, which I spake unto you yet being with you: That all the things that are written in the law of Moses and the Prophets and Psalms, concerning me, must needs be fulfilled.
45 Ipapo akazarura ndangariro dzavo kuti vanzwisise Magwaro.
Then, opened he their mind, to understand the Scriptures;
46 Akati kwavari, “Izvi ndizvo zvakanyorwa kuti: Kristu achatambudzika agomuka kubva kuvakafa pazuva rechitatu,
and said unto them—Thus, it is written, That the Christ, should suffer, and arise from among the dead on the third day;
47 uye kuti kutendeuka nokuregererwa kwezvivi kuchaparidzirwa kumarudzi ose muzita rake, kutanga paJerusarema.
And that repentance for remission of sins should be proclaimed upon his name unto all the nations, —beginning from Jerusalem.
48 Imi muri zvapupu zvezvinhu izvi.
Ye, are witnesses of these things.
49 Ndichakutumirai chipikirwa chakavimbiswa naBaba; asi imi garai muguta kusvikira mafukidzwa nesimba rinobva kumusoro.”
And lo! I, am sending forth the promise of my Father upon you; but tarry, ye, in the city, until ye be clothed, from on high, with power.
50 Akati avatungamirira kunze kweguta pedyo neBhetania, akatambanudza maoko ake akavaropafadza.
And he led them forth as far as unto Bethany; and, uplifting his hands, he blessed them.
51 Achiri kuvaropafadza, akabva pavari akatorwa akakwidzwa kudenga.
And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was born up into heaven.
52 Ipapo vakamunamata ndokubva vadzokera kuJerusarema nomufaro mukuru.
And, they, having bowed down unto him returned unto Jerusalem, with great joy;
53 Uye vakaramba vari mutemberi, vachirumbidza Mwari nguva dzose.
and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
