< Luke 24 >

1 But very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, taking with them the spices that they had prepared.
Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke izu ụka, nʼezigbo isi ụtụtụ, ha weere mmanụ otite ahụ ha tinyere ọtụtụ ụda nke ha kwadoro gawa nʼili ahụ.
2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb;
Ha chọpụtara na e nupụla nkume e ji dochie nʼọnụ ili ahụ.
3 and, on going into it, they could not find the body.
Ma mgbe ha banyere nʼime ya, ha ahụghị ahụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs.
4 While they were at a loss to account for this, all at once two men stood beside them, in dazzling clothing.
Dị ka ha nọ na mgbagwoju anya banyere nke a, nʼotu ntabi anya, ha hụrụ mmadụ abụọ yi uwe na-egbu ka amụma guzo ha nso.
5 But, when in their fear the women bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for him who is living?
Ha kpudoro ihu ha nʼala nʼihi oke egwu, ma mmadụ abụọ ahụ gwara ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-achọ onye dị ndụ nʼetiti ndị nwụrụ anwụ?
6 Remember how he spoke to you before he left Galilee –
Ọ nọkwaghị nʼebe a, o biliela nʼọnwụ, chetakwanụ ihe ọ gwara unu mgbe unu na ya nọ na Galili sị,
7 How he said that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of wicked men, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.”
‘A ghaghị inyefe Nwa nke Mmadụ nʼaka ndị mmehie, a ga-akpọgidekwa ya nʼobe ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ ọ ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie.’”
8 Then they remembered the words of Jesus,
Mgbe ahụ ha chetara okwu ya.
9 and, on returning from the tomb, they told all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.
Mgbe ha sitere nʼili ahụ lọghachi, ha kọọrọ mmadụ iri na otu ahụ na ndị ọzọ niile ihe ndị a.
10 There were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James. The other women, too, spoke about this to the apostles.
Ọ bụ Meri Magdalin, na Joana, na Meri nne Jemis na ụmụ nwanyị ndị ọzọ so ha kọọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ihe a.
11 What they said seemed to the apostles mere nonsense, and they did not believe them.
Ma ha ekweghị ihe ha gwara ha, nʼihi na okwu ha dị ha ka ọ bụ ihe efu.
Ma otu ọ dị, Pita gbaara ọsọ ruo nʼili ahụ, hulata ala hụ ka akwa ozu ndị ahụ tọgbọọrọ onwe ha; ọ lara na-atụgharị uche nʼime onwe ya ihe ihe ndị a pụtara.
13 It happened that very day that two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem,
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, mmadụ abụọ nʼime ha gaje nʼobodo nta a na-akpọ Emaus, nke dị ihe ruru kilomita iri na abụọ site na Jerusalem.
14 talking together, as they went, about all that had just taken place.
Ha na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe ha banyere ihe niile mere.
15 While they were talking about these things and discussing them, Jesus himself came up and went on their way with them;
Dị ka ha na-ekwu na-akparịta ụka banyere ihe ndị a, Jisọs nʼonwe ya bịara soro ha na-aga ije.
16 but their eyes were blinded so that they could not recognize him.
Ma e mechiri anya ha ịmata na ọ bụ ya.
17 “What is this that you are saying to each other as you walk along?” Jesus asked. They stopped, with sad looks on their faces,
Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe unu dị ka unu na-aga nʼụzọ.” Ha kwụsịrị ebe ahụ, gbarụọ ihu ha.
18 and then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Jesus, “Are you staying by yourself at Jerusalem, that you have not heard of the things that have happened there within the last few days?”
Otu onye nʼime ha a na-akpọ Kleopas, sịrị ya, “Ị bụ onye ọbịa na Jerusalem nke mere na ị maghị ihe mere nʼime ya nʼụbọchị ndị a?”
19 “What things do you mean?” asked Jesus. “Why, about Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered, “who, in the eyes of God and all the people, was a prophet, whose power was felt in both his words and actions;
Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị bụ ihe mere?” Ha sịrị ya, “Banyere Jisọs onye Nazaret! Ọ bụ onye amụma bụrụkwa onye dị ike, ma nʼokwu ma nʼomume nʼihu Chineke na mmadụ niile.
20 and how the chief priests and our leading men gave him up to be sentenced to death, and afterward crucified him.
Na otu ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ọchịchị anyị nyefere ya ka a maa ya ikpe ọnwụ, ma kpọgbukwaa ya nʼobe.
21 But we were hoping that he was the Destined Deliverer of Israel; yes, and besides all this, it is now three days since these things occurred.
Anyị nwererịị olileanya na ọ bụ ya ga-agbapụta Izrel. Nke ka nke, taa mere ya abalị atọ kemgbe ihe ndị a mere.
22 And what is more, some of the women among us have greatly astonished us. They went to the tomb at daybreak
Tụkwasị ihe ndị a, ụfọdụ ụmụ nwanyị anyị mere ka anyị nwee ihe ịtụnanya. Ha gara nʼili ahụ nʼisi ụtụtụ a.
23 And, not finding the body of Jesus there, came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he was alive.
Ma ha ahụghị ahụ ya. Ha bịara kọrọ anyị na ha hụrụ ọhụ nke ndị mmụọ ozi, bụ ndị gwara ha na ọ dị ndụ.
24 So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”
Ya mere ụfọdụ nʼime ndị otu anyị gara nʼili ahụ chọpụta na ihe niile ụmụ nwanyị a kwuru mere otu ahụ ha siri kwuo ya. Ma ha ahụkwaghị ya.”
25 Then Jesus said to them, “Foolish men, slow to accept all that the prophets have said!
Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu bụ nnọọ ndị nzuzu! Leenụ ka o si siere unu ike ikwere ihe niile ndị amụma kwuru.
26 Was not the Christ bound to undergo this suffering before entering into his glory?”
Ọ bụ na o kwesighị ka Kraịst taa ahụhụ ndị a tupu ọ banye nʼebube ya?”
27 Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them all through the scriptures the passages that referred to himself.
Ya mere, ọ kọwaara ha ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ banyere ya onwe ya malite na nke Mosis ruo na ndị amụma niile.
28 When they got near the village to which they were walking, Jesus appeared to be going further;
Mgbe ha na-eru obodo nta ahụ ha na-aga, o mere dị ka ọ na-aga nʼihu na njem ya.
29 but they pressed him not to do so. “Stay with us,” they said, “for it is getting towards evening, and the sun in already low.” So Jesus went in to stay with them.
Ma ha rịọ ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu sị, “Nọnyerenụ anyị nʼihi na chi ebidola iji, ụbọchị agamiekwala ugbu a.” Nʼihi ya ọ banyere ịga nọnyere ha.
30 After he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread and said the blessing, and broke it, and gave it to them.
Mgbe ya na ha nọdụrụ na tebul iri nri, o were achịcha, kelee Chineke ekele, nyawaa ya were ya nye ha.
31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him; but he disappeared from their sight.
Mgbe ahụ, e meghere anya ha, ha amata onye ọ bụ, ha ahụkwaghị ya anya ọzọ.
32 “How our hearts glowed,” the disciples said to each other, “while he was talking to us on the road, and when he explained the scriptures to us!”
Mgbe ahụ, ha gwara onwe ha sị, “Ọ bụ na ọ dịghị ka ọkụ ọ na-enwu nʼobi anyị mgbe anyị na ya nọ nʼụzọ, ya na-ekpughere anyị akwụkwọ nsọ?”
33 Then they immediately got up and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and their companions all together,
Ha biliri ngwangwa laghachi Jerusalem. Ebe ahụ, ha hụrụ mmadụ iri na otu ahụ na ndị so ha ka ha nọkọtara nʼotu ebe,
34 who told them that the Master had really risen, and had appeared to Simon.
na-asị, “Ọ bụ eziokwu, Onyenwe anyị ebiliela, o gosila Saimọn onwe ya.”
35 So they also related what had happened during their walk, and how they had recognized Jesus at the breaking of the bread.
Mgbe ahụ, ha kọọrọ ha ihe mere nʼụzọ, ya na otu ha siri mata ya mgbe ọ nyawara achịcha.
36 While they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them.
Mgbe ha ka na-ekwu banyere nke a, ya onwe ya guzooro nʼetiti ha sị ha, “Udo dịrị unu.”
37 In their terror and alarm they thought they saw a ghost,
Oke egwu tụrụ ha, obi lọkwara ha mmiri nʼihi na ha chere na ha ahụla mmụọ.
38 but Jesus said to them, “Why are you so startled? And why do doubts arise in your minds?
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị mere ụjọ ji atụ unu, gịnị mere unu ji nwee obi abụọ?
39 Look at my hands and my feet, and you will know that it is I. Feel me, and look at me, for a ghost has not flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
Leenụ m anya nʼaka na nʼụkwụ. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m! Metụnụ m aka ka unu hụrụ, nʼihi na mmụọ adịghị enwe anụ ahụ na ọkpụkpụ dị ka unu hụrụ m nwere.”
Mgbe o kwuchara nke a, o gosiri ha aka ya na ụkwụ ya.
41 While they were still unable to believe it all, overcome with joy, and were wondering if it were true, Jesus said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
Ma dị ka o siiri ha ike ikwere nʼihi ọṅụ na oke mgbagwoju anya, ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ dị ihe oriri unu nwere ebe a?”
42 They handed him a piece of broiled fish,
Ha nyere ya otu ntakịrị azụ a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ.
43 and he took it and ate it before their eyes.
Ma ọ naara ya rie ya nʼihu ha.
44 “This is what I told you,” he said, “when I was still with you – that everything that had been written about me in the Law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms, must be fulfilled.”
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Okwu ndị a ka m gwara unu mgbe mụ na unu nọ, na ihe niile e dere nʼiwu Mosis na ndị Amụma na nʼAbụ Ọma banyere m ga-emezucha.”
45 Then he enabled them to understand the meaning of the scriptures, saying to them,
Mgbe ahụ, o meghere akọnuche ha ka ha ghọta akwụkwọ nsọ.
46 “Scripture says that the Christ will suffer, and that he will rise again from the dead on the third day,
Ọ sịrị ha, “Nke a bụ ihe e dere na, Kraịst ahụ ga-ahụ ahụhụ ma sitekwa nʼọnwụ bilienʼụbọchị nke atọ.
47 and that repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed on his authority to all the nations – beginning at Jerusalem.
Na a ga-ekwusa nchegharị na mgbaghara mmehie site nʼaha ya nye mba niile, malite na Jerusalem.
48 You yourselves are to be witnesses to all this.
Unu bụ ndị akaebe nke ihe ndị a.
49 And now I am myself about to send you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above.”
Ma lee, agaje m izitere unu ihe ahụ Nna m kwere na nkwa. Ya mere, nọrọnụ nʼime obodo ruo mgbe a ga-eyikwasị unu ike nke si nʼelu.”
50 After this, Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and there raised his hands and blessed them.
O duuru ha garuo na Betani, chilie aka ya abụọ elu gọzie ha.
51 As he was in the act of blessing them, he left them.
Dị ka ọ na-agọzi ha, ọ sitere nʼebe ha nọ pụọ, e weliri ya elu, baa nʼeluigwe.
52 They returned to Jerusalem full of joy;
Mgbe ahụ, ha fere ya ofufe jiri oke ọṅụ laghachi na Jerusalem.
53 and they were constantly in the Temple Courts, blessing God.
Ha nọgidere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ na-eto Chineke oge niile.
