Luke 24
1 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].
atha saptāhaprathamadine'tipratyūṣe tā yoṣitaḥ sampāditaṁ sugandhidravyaṁ gṛhītvā tadanyābhiḥ kiyatībhiḥ strībhiḥ saha śmaśānaṁ yayuḥ|
2 They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
kintu śmaśānadvārāt pāṣāṇamapasāritaṁ dṛṣṭvā
3 They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
tāḥ praviśya prabho rdehamaprāpya
4 They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
vyākulā bhavanti etarhi tejomayavastrānvitau dvau puruṣau tāsāṁ samīpe samupasthitau
5 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]
tasmāttāḥ śaṅkāyuktā bhūmāvadhomukhyasyasthuḥ| tadā tau tā ūcatu rmṛtānāṁ madhye jīvantaṁ kuto mṛgayatha?
6 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,
sotra nāsti sa udasthāt|
7 ‘[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].’”
pāpināṁ kareṣu samarpitena kruśe hatena ca manuṣyaputreṇa tṛtīyadivase śmaśānādutthātavyam iti kathāṁ sa galīli tiṣṭhan yuṣmabhyaṁ kathitavān tāṁ smarata|
8 The [women] remembered that he had said that.
tadā tasya sā kathā tāsāṁ manaḥsu jātā|
9 So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
anantaraṁ śmaśānād gatvā tā ekādaśaśiṣyādibhyaḥ sarvvebhyastāṁ vārttāṁ kathayāmāsuḥ|
10 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.
magdalīnīmariyam, yohanā, yākūbo mātā mariyam tadanyāḥ saṅginyo yoṣitaśca preritebhya etāḥ sarvvā vārttāḥ kathayāmāsuḥ
11 But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
kintu tāsāṁ kathām anarthakākhyānamātraṁ buddhvā kopi na pratyait|
12 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.
tadā pitara utthāya śmaśānāntikaṁ dadhāva, tatra ca prahvo bhūtvā pārśvaikasthāpitaṁ kevalaṁ vastraṁ dadarśa; tasmādāścaryyaṁ manyamāno yadaghaṭata tanmanasi vicārayan pratasthe|
13 That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
tasminneva dine dvau śiyyau yirūśālamaścatuṣkrośāntaritam immāyugrāmaṁ gacchantau
14 They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
tāsāṁ ghaṭanānāṁ kathāmakathayatāṁ
15 While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
tayorālāpavicārayoḥ kāle yīśurāgatya tābhyāṁ saha jagāma
16 But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
kintu yathā tau taṁ na paricinutastadarthaṁ tayo rdṛṣṭiḥ saṁruddhā|
17 [Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
sa tau pṛṣṭavān yuvāṁ viṣaṇṇau kiṁ vicārayantau gacchathaḥ?
18 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]”
tatastayoḥ kliyapānāmā pratyuvāca yirūśālamapure'dhunā yānyaghaṭanta tvaṁ kevalavideśī kiṁ tadvṛttāntaṁ na jānāsi?
19 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]!
sa papraccha kā ghaṭanāḥ? tadā tau vaktumārebhāte yīśunāmā yo nāsaratīyo bhaviṣyadvādī īśvarasya mānuṣāṇāñca sākṣāt vākye karmmaṇi ca śaktimānāsīt
20 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.
tam asmākaṁ pradhānayājakā vicārakāśca kenāpi prakāreṇa kruśe viddhvā tasya prāṇānanāśayan tadīyā ghaṭanāḥ;
21 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.
kintu ya isrāyelīyalokān uddhārayiṣyati sa evāyam ityāśāsmābhiḥ kṛtā|tadyathā tathāstu tasyā ghaṭanāyā adya dinatrayaṁ gataṁ|
22 On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
adhikantvasmākaṁ saṅginīnāṁ kiyatstrīṇāṁ mukhebhyo'sambhavavākyamidaṁ śrutaṁ;
23 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!
tāḥ pratyūṣe śmaśānaṁ gatvā tatra tasya deham aprāpya vyāghuṭyetvā proktavatyaḥ svargīsadūtau dṛṣṭāvasmābhistau cāvādiṣṭāṁ sa jīvitavān|
24 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].”
tatosmākaṁ kaiścit śmaśānamagamyata te'pi strīṇāṁ vākyānurūpaṁ dṛṣṭavantaḥ kintu taṁ nāpaśyan|
25 He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
tadā sa tāvuvāca, he abodhau he bhaviṣyadvādibhiruktavākyaṁ pratyetuṁ vilambamānau;
26 ([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]”
etatsarvvaduḥkhaṁ bhuktvā svabhūtiprāptiḥ kiṁ khrīṣṭasya na nyāyyā?
27 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].
tataḥ sa mūsāgranthamārabhya sarvvabhaviṣyadvādināṁ sarvvaśāstre svasmin likhitākhyānābhiprāyaṁ bodhayāmāsa|
28 They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
atha gamyagrāmābhyarṇaṁ prāpya tenāgre gamanalakṣaṇe darśite
29 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.
tau sādhayitvāvadatāṁ sahāvābhyāṁ tiṣṭha dine gate sati rātrirabhūt; tataḥ sa tābhyāṁ sārddhaṁ sthātuṁ gṛhaṁ yayau|
30 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.
paścādbhojanopaveśakāle sa pūpaṁ gṛhītvā īśvaraguṇān jagāda tañca bhaṁktvā tābhyāṁ dadau|
31 And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
tadā tayo rdṛṣṭau prasannāyāṁ taṁ pratyabhijñatuḥ kintu sa tayoḥ sākṣādantardadhe|
32 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]!”
tatastau mithobhidhātum ārabdhavantau gamanakāle yadā kathāmakathayat śāstrārthañcabodhayat tadāvayo rbuddhiḥ kiṁ na prājvalat?
33 So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
tau tatkṣaṇādutthāya yirūśālamapuraṁ pratyāyayatuḥ, tatsthāne śiṣyāṇām ekādaśānāṁ saṅgināñca darśanaṁ jātaṁ|
34 who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
te procuḥ prabhurudatiṣṭhad iti satyaṁ śimone darśanamadācca|
35 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].
tataḥ pathaḥ sarvvaghaṭanāyāḥ pūpabhañjanena tatparicayasya ca sarvvavṛttāntaṁ tau vaktumārebhāte|
36 As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
itthaṁ te parasparaṁ vadanti tatkāle yīśuḥ svayaṁ teṣāṁ madhya protthaya yuṣmākaṁ kalyāṇaṁ bhūyād ityuvāca,
37 They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
kintu bhūtaṁ paśyāma ityanumāya te samudvivijire treṣuśca|
38 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]
sa uvāca, kuto duḥkhitā bhavatha? yuṣmākaṁ manaḥsu sandeha udeti ca kutaḥ?
39 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!”
eṣohaṁ, mama karau paśyata varaṁ spṛṣṭvā paśyata, mama yādṛśāni paśyatha tādṛśāni bhūtasya māṁsāsthīni na santi|
40 After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
ityuktvā sa hastapādān darśayāmāsa|
41 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?”
te'sambhavaṁ jñātvā sānandā na pratyayan| tataḥ sa tān papraccha, atra yuṣmākaṁ samīpe khādyaṁ kiñcidasti?
42 [So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
tataste kiyaddagdhamatsyaṁ madhu ca daduḥ
43 While they were watching, he took it and ate it.
sa tadādāya teṣāṁ sākṣād bubhuje
44 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!”
kathayāmāsa ca mūsāvyavasthāyāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ grantheṣu gītapustake ca mayi yāni sarvvāṇi vacanāni likhitāni tadanurūpāṇi ghaṭiṣyante yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ sthitvāhaṁ yadetadvākyam avadaṁ tadidānīṁ pratyakṣamabhūt|
45 Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
atha tebhyaḥ śāstrabodhādhikāraṁ datvāvadat,
46 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.
khrīṣṭenetthaṁ mṛtiyātanā bhoktavyā tṛtīyadine ca śmaśānādutthātavyañceti lipirasti;
47 [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.
tannāmnā yirūśālamamārabhya sarvvadeśe manaḥparāvarttanasya pāpamocanasya ca susaṁvādaḥ pracārayitavyaḥ,
48 You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.
eṣu sarvveṣu yūyaṁ sākṣiṇaḥ|
49 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].”
aparañca paśyata pitrā yat pratijñātaṁ tat preṣayiṣyāmi, ataeva yāvatkālaṁ yūyaṁ svargīyāṁ śaktiṁ na prāpsyatha tāvatkālaṁ yirūśālamnagare tiṣṭhata|
50 Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
atha sa tān baithanīyāparyyantaṁ nītvā hastāvuttolya āśiṣa vaktumārebhe
51 As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
āśiṣaṁ vadanneva ca tebhyaḥ pṛthag bhūtvā svargāya nīto'bhavat|
52 They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.
tadā te taṁ bhajamānā mahānandena yirūśālamaṁ pratyājagmuḥ|
53 Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
tato nirantaraṁ mandire tiṣṭhanta īśvarasya praśaṁsāṁ dhanyavādañca karttam ārebhire| iti||
