Luka 24
1 Kwasiada anɔpahema, mmaa no de nnuhwam ne ngo no kɔɔ ɔboda no so.
NOW on the first day of the week, at the earliest dawn of day, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the aromatics which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 Wɔduruu hɔ no, wɔhunuu sɛ wɔapire ɛboɔ a wɔde hinii ɔboda no ano no afiri hɔ.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 Na wɔkɔɔ ɔboda no mu no, na Yesu amu no nna hɔ.
And on entering, found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 Wɔde ahodwirie gyina hɔ no, amonom hɔ ara, mmarima baanu bi a wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ fitafitaa a ani hyerɛn bɛgyinagyinaa wɔn nkyɛn.
And it came to pass, as they were in the greatest perplexity concerning this matter, then behold, two men stood by them in refulgent garments:
5 Mmaa yi akoma tuiɛ na wɔkotokotoo wɔn na mmarima no bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na morehwehwɛ ɔteasefoɔ wɔ awufoɔ mu?
and when they were exceedingly terrified, and inclined their face to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6 Ɔnni ha. Wasɔre! Monnkae asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ mo ɛberɛ a na ɔwɔ Galilea no sɛ,
he is not here; he is risen: remember how he spoke to you, while he was yet in Galilee,
7 ‘Ɛtwa sɛ wɔde Kristo no hyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nsa na wɔbɔ no asɛnnua mu na ne nnansa so wasɔre bio no?’”
saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 Mmaa no kaee asɛm no no,
And they remembered his declarations,
9 wɔde ahoɔherɛ firii ɔboda no so bɛkaa deɛ wɔhunuiɛ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ asuafoɔ dubaako no ne wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa.
and returning from the sepulchre, told all these things to the eleven, and to the rest.
10 Mmaa a wɔkɔɔ ɔboda no so a wɔbɛkaa saa asɛm yi no ne Maria Magdalene ne Yohana ne Yakobo maame Maria ne afoforɔ bi.
Now there were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women who were with them, that told these things to the apostles.
11 Wɔn nsɛm a wɔbɛkaeɛ no yɛɛ wɔn sɛ anansesɛm bi enti, wɔannye anni.
And their declarations seemed in their view as a mere fancy, and they gave them no credence.
12 Ɛwom sɛ nnipa no annye asɛm no anni deɛ, nanso Petro deɛ, ɔtuu mmirika kɔɔ ɔboda no so, koto hwɛɛ mu, hunuu sɛ nwera a wɔde kyekyeree Yesu ho no gu hɔ. Ɔsane baa efie a na ɔnte deɛ ɔhunuiɛ no ase.
Then Peter rising up, ran off to the sepulchre, and leaning forward saw the linen clothes laid separately, and went away wondering in himself what was become of him.
13 Ɛda no ara asuafoɔ no mu baanu siim sɛ wɔrekɔ akuraa bi a wɔfrɛ no Emaus a ɛfiri Yerusalem rekɔ hɔ no bɛyɛ sɛ akwansini nson.
And behold, two of them were going the same day to a village, distant about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, called Emmaus.
14 Wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na asɛm a asi no ho nkɔmmɔ ara na wɔredi.
And they were conversing with each other, concerning all those things which had happened.
15 Wɔgu so redi nkɔmmɔ na wɔregye wɔn ho akyinnyeɛ no, Yesu bɛkaa wɔn ho ne wɔn bɔɔ anan kɔeɛ.
And it came to pass, as they were conversing together, and talking the matter over, even Jesus himself drew near, and walked on with them.
16 Wɔhunuu sɛ obi ka wɔn ho deɛ, nanso wɔantumi anhunu sɛ ɛyɛ Yesu.
But their eyes were under a restraint, that they might not discover him.
17 Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Nkɔmmɔ bɛn na moredi a mo werɛ aho mo ho yi?”
And he said unto them, What are these discourses that ye interchange among you, as ye are walking, and bear such a face of dejection?
18 Na wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Kleopa bisaa no sɛ, “Wo nko ara ne ɔhɔhoɔ a wowɔ Yerusalem a wontee nsɛm a asisi hɔ nnansa yi no?”
Then one of them, named Cleopas, answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not known the singular events of those days?
19 Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Nsɛm bɛn?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Nsɛm a ɛfa Nasareni Yesu a ɔyɛ odiyifoɔ a ɔwɔ tumi wɔ nneyɛeɛ ne ɔkasa mu wɔ Onyankopɔn ne nnipa nyinaa anim no ho,
And he said to them, Of what sort? and they said to him, Those which relate to Jesus the Nazarean, who was a man, a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and all the people:
20 ne sɛdeɛ asɔfoɔ mpanin ne yɛn mpanimfoɔ kyeree no de no kɔɔ aban mu sɛ wɔmmu no kumfɔ a wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu no ho.
and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to a sentence of death, and crucified him.
21 Yɛn deɛ, na yɛn ani da so sɛ ɔno na ɔrebɛgye Israel, na bio nnansa ni a saa asɛm yi siiɛ.
But we had entertained hopes that this was the person who should have redeemed Israel: and ah! besides all these things, to-day concludes that third day since these things were done.
22 Na mmaa bi nso a wɔyɛ Yesu akyidifoɔ sɛ yɛn ara ama yɛn ho adwiri yɛn. Wɔkɔɔ ɔboda no so anɔpa yi ara,
And indeed, certain women belonging to us exceedingly amazed us who were very early at the sepulchre;
23 nanso wɔanhunu nʼamu no. Wɔsane bɛka kyerɛɛ yɛn sɛ, wɔahunu ɔsoro abɔfoɔ ma wɔaka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, Yesu te ase.
and not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who told them that he was alive.
24 Yɛn mu binom tuu mmirika kɔhwɛeɛ na ampa ara, na Yesu amu no nni hɔ sɛdeɛ mmaa no kaeɛ no ara pɛ.”
And some of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found every thing just as the women had said: but him they did not see.
25 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adwenemherɛfoɔ a monni gyidie; ɛyɛ mo den sɛ mobɛgye deɛ adiyifoɔ no aka no nyinaa adi.
And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Wɔanhyɛ ho nkɔm sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Kristo no bɛhunu amane ansa na wakɔ nʼanimuonyam mu anaa?”
Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 Na ɔfirii Mose ne adiyifoɔ no so kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn nsɛm a ɛfa ne ho wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu no nyinaa ase.
And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures, the things relating to himself.
28 Wɔduruu Emaus kurotia no, Yesu pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔtoa nʼakwantuo no so.
And they drew nigh to the village, whither they were going: and he was proceeding on, as if going farther.
29 Nanso, wɔsrɛɛ no, sanee no sɛ ɔnna wɔn nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, na adeɛ reyɛ asa enti, ɔsane ne wɔn kɔɔ efie.
And they warmly pressed him, saying, Stay with us: for the evening draws on, and the day declines. And he went in to stay with them.
30 Ɛberɛ a wɔte adidiiɛ no, Yesu bɔɔ mpaeɛ, daa Onyankopɔn ase, faa burodo bubuu mu de maa wɔn.
And it came to pass, when he was sitting down at table with them, taking up a loaf, he blessed it, and breaking, distributed it to them.
31 Amonom, wɔn ani so tetee wɔn maa afei wɔhunuu sɛ ɛyɛ Yesu. Ɛhɔ ara, ɔtu yeraeɛ.
Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he became invisible to them.
32 Na afei, wɔsesee wɔn ho wɔn ho, sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no mu nsɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn ɛberɛ a na wɔnam ɛkwan so no si fa kaa wɔn akoma no.
And they said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us, as he talked with us on the road, and as he distinctly opened to us the scriptures?
33 Ntɛm ara, wɔsane wɔn akyi baa Yerusalem bɛtoo asuafoɔ dubaako no ne wɔn a na wɔka wɔn ho no sɛ wɔahyia.
And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them crowded together,
34 Wɔduruu hɔ no, wɔbɔɔ wɔn amanneɛ sɛ, “Ampa ara, Awurade asɔre afiri awufoɔ mu. Wayi ne ho adi akyerɛ Simon.”
saying, The Lord is risen assuredly, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 Baanu a wɔfiri Emaus baeɛ no nso bɔɔ wɔn amaneɛ, sɛdeɛ Yesu bɛtoo wɔn Emaus ɛkwan so na wɔantumi anhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno kɔsii ɛberɛ a ɔbubuu burodo mu de maa wɔn no ansa.
Then these recounted what had passed on the road, and how he was known to them by the breaking of the bread.
36 Wɔgu so rebɔ amaneɛ no, prɛko pɛ, Yesu bɛpuee hɔ, kyeaa wɔn sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!”
While they were relating these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you!
37 Wɔn nyinaa bobɔɔ birim, suroeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsusu sɛ wɔahunu ɔsaman.
But terrified and affrighted, they thought they saw a spirit.
38 Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na mo akoma atutu na monnye nni nso sɛ ɛyɛ me a?
And he said to them, Why are ye under such agitation of mind? and why do reasonings arise in your hearts?
39 Monhwɛ me nsam ne me nan. Ɛyɛ me a! Momfa mo nsa nka me nhwɛ; ɛfiri sɛ, ɔsaman nni honam ne nnompe sɛdeɛ mohunu sɛ mewɔ bi yi.”
look upon my hands and my feet, that it is my very self: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 Ɔkasa wieeɛ no, ɔde ne nsa ne ne nan kyerɛɛ wɔn.
And thus speaking, he exposed to them his hands and his feet.
41 Anigyetrasoɔ ne ahodwirie enti, amma wɔannye anni sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mowɔ biribi wɔ ha a mobɛdi anaa?”
But when they still could not credit it for joy, and marvelled, he said unto them, Have ye here any thing eatable?
42 Wɔmaa no apataa sini bi a wɔatoto
Then they gave him a part of a broiled fish, and a piece of honey-comb.
43 ma ɔgye wee wɔ wɔn anim hɔ ara.
And receiving it, he did eat in their presence.
44 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Yei ne me nsɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo ɛberɛ a na me ne mo wɔ hɔ no sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ biribiara a wɔatwerɛ afa me ho wɔ Mose Mmara ne Adiyifoɔ nwoma ne Nnwom mu no ba mu.”
And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.
45 Afei, ɔbuee wɔn adwene mu ma wɔtee Atwerɛsɛm a ɛfa ne ho no ase.
Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures,
46 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Kristo no hunu amane na ɔwu na ne nnansa so, wasɔre afiri awufoɔ mu.
and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day
47 Na wɔbɛfiri aseɛ wɔ Yerusalem de ne din akɔka adwensakyera ne bɔnefakyɛ ho nsɛm akyerɛ amansan.
and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 Mone yeinom nyinaa ho adansefoɔ.
And ye are the witnesses of these things.
49 Mɛsoma Honhom Kronkron no na waba mo so sɛdeɛ mʼAgya hyɛɛ ho bɔ no. Na monnkɔ baabiara; montena ha nkɔsi sɛ Honhom Kronkron no de tumi a ɛfiri ɔsoro no bɛba abɛhyɛ mo ma.”
And, behold, I send unto you the promise of my Father: but sit ye down in the city of Jerusalem, until ye shall be endued with power from on high.
50 Yesu ne asuafoɔ no bɔɔ anan kɔduruu Betania kurotia na ɔmaa ne nsa so hyiraa wɔn.
And he led them without the city as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
51 Ɔgu so rehyira wɔn no, wɔmaa no so kɔɔ ɔsoro.
And it came to pass, as he pronounced the benediction upon them, he was parted from them, and taken up into heaven.
52 Na wɔsɔree no de anigyeɛ sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
And they, after paying him their adorations, returned to Jerusalem with vast joy:
53 Na daa wɔwɔ asɔredan no mu hɔ yi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
