Luka 24
1 Mnamo siku ya kwanza ya juma, alfajiri na mapema, wale wanawake walichukua yale manukato waliyokuwa wameyaandaa, wakaenda kaburini.
but, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, unto the tomb, came they, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 Wakakuta lile jiwe limevingirishwa kutoka kwenye kaburi,
And they found the stone, rolled away from the tomb;
3 lakini walipoingia ndani, hawakuuona mwili wa Bwana Yesu.
but, when they entered, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 Walipokuwa wanashangaa juu ya jambo hili, ghafula watu wawili waliokuwa wamevaa mavazi yanayongʼaa kama umeme wakasimama karibu nao.
And it came to pass, while they were perplexing themselves concerning this, that lo! two men, stood near them, in dazzling raiment.
5 Wale wanawake, wakiwa na hofu, wakainamisha nyuso zao mpaka chini. Lakini wale watu wakawaambia, “Kwa nini mnamtafuta aliye hai miongoni mwa wafu?
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 Hayuko hapa; amefufuka! Kumbukeni alivyowaambia alipokuwa bado yuko pamoja nanyi huko Galilaya kwamba:
He is not here, but hath arisen: Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee:
7 ‘Ilikuwa lazima Mwana wa Adamu atiwe mikononi mwa watu wenye dhambi na waovu ili asulubiwe, na siku ya tatu afufuke.’”
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 Ndipo wakayakumbuka maneno ya Yesu.
And they remembered his sayings;
9 Waliporudi kutoka huko kaburini, wakawaeleza wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja pamoja na wengine wote mambo haya yote.
and, returning [from the tomb], reported all these things unto the eleven, and unto all the rest.
10 Basi Maria Magdalene, Yoana, na Maria mama yake Yakobo, pamoja na wanawake wengine waliofuatana nao ndio waliwaelezea mitume habari hizi.
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 Lakini hawakuwasadiki hao wanawake, kwa sababu maneno yao yalionekana kama upuzi.
And these sayings appeared before them, as if idle talk, and they were minded to disbelieve them.
12 Hata hivyo, Petro akainuka na kukimbia kwenda kule kaburini. Alipoinama kuchungulia, akaona vile vitambaa vya kitani, ila hakuona kitu kingine. Naye akaenda zake akijiuliza nini kilichotokea.
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 Ikawa siku iyo hiyo, wanafunzi wawili wa Yesu walikuwa njiani wakienda kijiji kilichoitwa Emau, yapata maili saba kutoka Yerusalemu.
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 Walikuwa wakizungumza wao kwa wao kuhusu mambo yote yaliyotukia.
and, they, were conversing one with another, about all these things which had occurred.
15 Walipokuwa wakizungumza na kujadiliana, Yesu mwenyewe akaja akatembea pamoja nao,
And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them;
16 lakini macho yao yakazuiliwa ili wasimtambue.
but, their eyes, were held, so as not to know him.
17 Akawauliza, “Ni mambo gani haya mnayozungumza wakati mnatembea?” Wakasimama, nyuso zao zikionyesha huzuni.
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 Mmoja wao, aliyeitwa Kleopa, akamuuliza, “Je, wewe ndiye peke yako mgeni huku Yerusalemu ambaye hufahamu mambo yaliyotukia humo siku hizi?”
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 Akawauliza, “Mambo gani?” Wakamjibu, “Mambo ya Yesu wa Nazareti. Yeye alikuwa nabii, mwenye uwezo mkuu katika maneno yake na matendo yake, mbele za Mungu na mbele ya wanadamu wote.
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 Viongozi wa makuhani na viongozi wetu walimtoa ahukumiwe kufa, nao wakamsulubisha.
In what way also our High-priests and Rulers delivered him up unto a sentence of death, and crucified him.
21 Lakini tulikuwa tumetegemea kwamba yeye ndiye angelikomboa Israeli. Zaidi ya hayo, leo ni siku ya tatu tangu mambo haya yatokee.
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 Isitoshe, baadhi ya wanawake katika kundi letu wametushtusha. Walikwenda kaburini leo alfajiri,
Nay! certain women also, from amongst us, have made us beside ourselves, in that they went early unto the tomb;
23 lakini hawakuukuta mwili wake. Walirudi wakasema wameona maono ya malaika ambao waliwaambia kwamba Yesu yu hai.
and, not finding his body, came, saying—that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.
24 Kisha baadhi ya wenzetu walikwenda kaburini wakalikuta kama vile wale wanawake walivyokuwa wamesema, lakini yeye hawakumwona.”
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 Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi ni wajinga kiasi gani, nanyi ni wazito mioyoni mwenu kuamini mambo yote yaliyonenwa na manabii!
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 Je, haikumpasa Kristokuteswa kwa njia hiyo na kisha aingie katika utukufu wake?”
Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory?
27 Naye akianzia na Sheria ya Mose na Manabii wote, akawafafanulia jinsi Maandiko yalivyosema kumhusu yeye.
And, beginning from Moses, and from all the prophets, he thoroughly explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself.
28 Nao walipokaribia kile kijiji walichokuwa wakienda, Yesu akawa kama anaendelea mbele.
And they drew near unto the village, whither they were journeying; and, he, made for journeying, further.
29 Lakini wao wakamsihi sana akae nao, wakisema, “Kaa hapa nasi, kwa maana sasa ni jioni na usiku unaingia.” Basi akaingia ndani kukaa nao.
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 Alipokuwa mezani pamoja nao, akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akaanza kuwagawia.
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 Ndipo macho yao yakafumbuliwa, nao wakamtambua, naye akatoweka machoni pao. Hawakumwona tena.
And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them.
32 Wakaulizana wao kwa wao, “Je, mioyo yetu haikuwakawaka kwa furaha ndani yetu alipokuwa anazungumza nasi njiani na kutufafanulia Maandiko?”
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 Wakaondoka mara, wakarudi Yerusalemu. Wakawakuta wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja na wale waliokuwa pamoja nao, wamekusanyika
And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem, —and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them,
34 wakisema, “Ni kweli! Bwana amefufuka, naye amemtokea Simoni.”
saying—In truth, the Lord hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Simon!
35 Kisha wale wanafunzi wawili wakaeleza yaliyotukia njiani na jinsi walivyomtambua Yesu alipoumega mkate.
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 Walipokuwa bado wanazungumza hayo, Yesu mwenyewe akasimama katikati yao, akasema, “Amani iwe nanyi!”
Now, as, these very things, they were telling, he himself, stood in their midst and saith unto them—Peace to you!
37 Wakashtuka na kuogopa wakidhani kwamba wameona mzuka.
But, being agitated and becoming, afraid, they began to imagine, that, upon a spirit, they were looking.
38 Lakini Yesu akawauliza, “Kwa nini mnaogopa? Kwa nini mna shaka mioyoni mwenu?
And he said unto them—Why are ye troubled? and for what cause do reasonings arise in your hearts?
39 Tazameni mikono yangu na miguu yangu, mwone kuwa ni mimi hasa. Niguseni mwone; kwa maana mzuka hauna nyama na mifupa, kama mnionavyo kuwa navyo.”
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 Aliposema haya, akawaonyesha mikono na miguu yake.
And, this saying, he pointed out to them his hands and his feet.
41 Wakashindwa kuamini kwa ajili ya furaha na mshangao waliokuwa nao. Akawauliza, “Mna chakula chochote hapa?”
Now, while yet they believed not for the joy, and were marvelling, he said unto them—Have ye anything to eat, here?
42 Wakampa kipande cha samaki aliyeokwa,
And they gave unto him a piece of boiled fish;
43 naye akakichukua na kukila mbele yao.
and, taking it before them, he did eat.
44 Akawaambia, “Haya ndiyo yale niliyowaambia nilipokuwa bado niko pamoja nanyi, kwamba yote yaliyoandikwa kunihusu mimi katika Sheria ya Mose, Manabii na Zaburi hayana budi kutimizwa.”
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 Ndipo akafungua fahamu zao ili waweze kuyaelewa Maandiko.
Then, opened he their mind, to understand the Scriptures;
46 Akawaambia, “Haya ndiyo yaliyoandikwa: Kristo atateswa na siku ya tatu atafufuka kutoka kwa wafu.
and said unto them—Thus, it is written, That the Christ, should suffer, and arise from among the dead on the third day;
47 Toba na msamaha wa dhambi zitatangaziwa mataifa yote kupitia jina lake kuanzia Yerusalemu.
And that repentance for remission of sins should be proclaimed upon his name unto all the nations, —beginning from Jerusalem.
48 Ninyi ni mashahidi wa mambo haya.
Ye, are witnesses of these things.
49 “Tazama nitawatumia ahadi ya Baba yangu; lakini kaeni humu mjini hadi mtakapovikwa uwezo utokao juu.”
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 Akiisha kuwaongoza mpaka kwenye viunga vya Bethania, akainua mikono yake juu na kuwabariki.
And he led them forth as far as unto Bethany; and, uplifting his hands, he blessed them.
51 Alipokuwa anawabariki, akawaacha, akachukuliwa mbinguni.
And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was born up into heaven.
52 Kisha wakamwabudu na kurudi Yerusalemu wakiwa wamejawa na furaha kuu.
And, they, having bowed down unto him returned unto Jerusalem, with great joy;
53 Nao wakadumu ndani ya Hekalu wakimtukuza Mungu. Amen.
and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
