Luke 24

1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

1 Mnamo siku ya kwanza ya juma, alfajiri na mapema, wale wanawake walichukua yale manukato waliyokuwa wameyaandaa, wakaenda kaburini.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

2 Wakakuta lile jiwe limevingirishwa kutoka kwenye kaburi,

3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

3 lakini walipoingia ndani, hawakuuona mwili wa Bwana Yesu.

4 While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

4 Walipokuwa wanashangaa juu ya jambo hili, ghafula watu wawili waliokuwa wamevaa mavazi yanayongʼaa kama umeme wakasimama karibu nao.

5 As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

5 Wale wanawake, wakiwa na hofu, wakainamisha nyuso zao mpaka chini. Lakini wale watu wakawaambia, “Kwa nini mnamtafuta aliye hai miongoni mwa wafu?

6 He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

6 Hayuko hapa; amefufuka! Kumbukeni alivyowaambia alipokuwa bado yuko pamoja nanyi huko Galilaya kwamba:

7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

7 ‘Ilikuwa lazima Mwana wa Adamu atiwe mikononi mwa watu wenye dhambi na waovu ili asulubiwe, na siku ya tatu afufuke.’”

8 Then they remembered His words.

8 Ndipo wakayakumbuka maneno ya Yesu.

9 And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

9 Waliporudi kutoka huko kaburini, wakawaeleza wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja pamoja na wengine wote mambo haya yote.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

10 Basi Maria Magdalene, Yoana, na Maria mama yake Yakobo, pamoja na wanawake wengine waliofuatana nao ndio waliwaelezea mitume habari hizi.

11 But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

11 Lakini hawakuwasadiki hao wanawake, kwa sababu maneno yao yalionekana kama upuzi.

12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

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.

13 That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

13 Ikawa siku iyo hiyo, wanafunzi wawili wa Yesu walikuwa njiani wakienda kijiji kilichoitwa Emau, yapata maili saba kutoka Yerusalemu.

14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

14 Walikuwa wakizungumza wao kwa wao kuhusu mambo yote yaliyotukia.

15 And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

15 Walipokuwa wakizungumza na kujadiliana, Yesu mwenyewe akaja akatembea pamoja nao,

16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

16 lakini macho yao yakazuiliwa ili wasimtambue.

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

17 Akawauliza, “Ni mambo gani haya mnayozungumza wakati mnatembea?” Wakasimama, nyuso zao zikionyesha huzuni.

18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

18 Mmoja wao, aliyeitwa Kleopa, akamuuliza, “Je, wewe ndiye peke yako mgeni huku Yerusalemu ambaye hufahamu mambo yaliyotukia humo siku hizi?”

19 “What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

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.

20 Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

20 Viongozi wa makuhani na viongozi wetu walimtoa ahukumiwe kufa, nao wakamsulubisha.

21 But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

21 Lakini tulikuwa tumetegemea kwamba yeye ndiye angelikomboa Israeli. Zaidi ya hayo, leo ni siku ya tatu tangu mambo haya yatokee.

22 Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

22 Isitoshe, baadhi ya wanawake katika kundi letu wametushtusha. Walikwenda kaburini leo alfajiri,

23 but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

23 lakini hawakuukuta mwili wake. Walirudi wakasema wameona maono ya malaika ambao waliwaambia kwamba Yesu yu hai.

24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

24 Kisha baadhi ya wenzetu walikwenda kaburini wakalikuta kama vile wale wanawake walivyokuwa wamesema, lakini yeye hawakumwona.”

25 Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

25 Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi ni wajinga kiasi gani, nanyi ni wazito mioyoni mwenu kuamini mambo yote yaliyonenwa na manabii!

26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

26 Je, haikumpasa Kristo kuteswa kwa njia hiyo na kisha aingie katika utukufu wake?”

27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

27 Naye akianzia na Sheria ya Mose na Manabii wote, akawafafanulia jinsi Maandiko yalivyosema kumhusu yeye.

28 As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

28 Nao walipokaribia kile kijiji walichokuwa wakienda, Yesu akawa kama anaendelea mbele.

29 But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

29 Lakini wao wakamsihi sana akae nao, wakisema, “Kaa hapa nasi, kwa maana sasa ni jioni na usiku unaingia.” Basi akaingia ndani kukaa nao.

30 While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

30 Alipokuwa mezani pamoja nao, akachukua mkate, akashukuru, akaumega, akaanza kuwagawia.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

31 Ndipo macho yao yakafumbuliwa, nao wakamtambua, naye akatoweka machoni pao. Hawakumwona tena.

32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

32 Wakaulizana wao kwa wao, “Je, mioyo yetu haikuwakawaka kwa furaha ndani yetu alipokuwa anazungumza nasi njiani na kutufafanulia Maandiko?”

33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

33 Wakaondoka mara, wakarudi Yerusalemu. Wakawakuta wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja na wale waliokuwa pamoja nao, wamekusanyika

34 and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

34 wakisema, “Ni kweli! Bwana amefufuka, naye amemtokea Simoni.”

35 Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

35 Kisha wale wanafunzi wawili wakaeleza yaliyotukia njiani na jinsi walivyomtambua Yesu alipoumega mkate.

36 While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

36 Walipokuwa bado wanazungumza hayo, Yesu mwenyewe akasimama katikati yao, akasema, “Amani iwe nanyi!”

37 But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

37 Wakashtuka na kuogopa wakidhani kwamba wameona mzuka.

38 “Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

38 Lakini Yesu akawauliza, “Kwa nini mnaogopa? Kwa nini mna shaka mioyoni mwenu?

39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

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.”

40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

40 Aliposema haya, akawaonyesha mikono na miguu yake.

41 While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

41 Wakashindwa kuamini kwa ajili ya furaha na mshangao waliokuwa nao. Akawauliza, “Mna chakula chochote hapa?”

42 So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

42 Wakampa kipande cha samaki aliyeokwa,

43 and He took it and ate it in front of them.

43 naye akakichukua na kukila mbele yao.

44 Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

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.”

45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

45 Ndipo akafungua fahamu zao ili waweze kuyaelewa Maandiko.

46 And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

46 Akawaambia, “Haya ndiyo yaliyoandikwa: Kristo atateswa na siku ya tatu atafufuka kutoka kwa wafu.

47 and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

47 Toba na msamaha wa dhambi zitatangaziwa mataifa yote kupitia jina lake kuanzia Yerusalemu.

48 You are witnesses of these things.

48 Ninyi ni mashahidi wa mambo haya.

49 And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

49 “Tazama nitawatumia ahadi ya Baba yangu; lakini kaeni humu mjini hadi mtakapovikwa uwezo utokao juu.”

50 When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

50 Akiisha kuwaongoza mpaka kwenye viunga vya Bethania, akainua mikono yake juu na kuwabariki.

51 While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

51 Alipokuwa anawabariki, akawaacha, akachukuliwa mbinguni.

52 And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

52 Kisha wakamwabudu na kurudi Yerusalemu wakiwa wamejawa na furaha kuu.

53 praising God continually in the temple.

53 Nao wakadumu ndani ya Hekalu wakimtukuza Mungu. Amen.
