¹ነገር ግን ከሳምንቱ በመጀመሪያው ቀን ያዘጋጁትን ሽቱ ይዘው ከእነርሱም ጋር አንዳንዶቹ ወደ መቃብሩ እጅግ ማልደው መጡ።

¹But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

²ድንጋዩንም ከመቃብሩ ተንከባሎ አገኙት፥

²They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

³ገብተውም የጌታን የኢየሱስን ሥጋ አላገኙም።

³They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.

⁴እነርሱም በዚህ ሲያመነቱ፥ እነሆ፥ ሁለት ሰዎች የሚያንጸባርቅ ልብስ ለብሰው ወደ እነርሱ ቀረቡ፤

⁴It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

⁵ፈርተውም ፊታቸውን ወደ ምድር አቀርቅረው ሳሉ፥ እንዲህ አሉአቸው። ሕያውን ከሙታን መካከል ስለ ምን ትፈልጋላችሁ? ተነሥቶአል እንጂ በዚህ የለም።

⁵Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?

⁶የሰው ልጅ በኃጢአተኞች እጅ አልፎ ሊሰጥና ሊሰቀል በሦስተኛውም ቀን ሊነሣ ግድ ነው እያለ ገና በገሊላ ሳለ ለእናንተ እንደ ተናገረ አስቡ።

⁶He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

⁸ቃሎቹንም አሰቡ፥ ከመቃብሩም ተመልሰው ይህን ሁሉ ለአሥራ አንዱና ለሌሎች ሁሉ ነገሩአቸው።

⁷saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”

¹⁰ይህንም ለሐዋርያት የነገሩአቸው መግደላዊት ማርያምና ዮሐና የያዕቆብም እናት ማርያም ከእነርሱም ጋር የነበሩት ሌሎች ሴቶች ነበሩ።

⁸They remembered his words,

¹¹ይህም ቃል ቅዠት መስሎ ታያቸውና አላመኑአቸውም።

⁹returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

¹²ጴጥሮስ ግን ተነሥቶ ወደ መቃብር ሮጠ፤ በዚያም ዝቅ ብሎ ሲመለከት የተልባ እግር ልብስን ብቻ አየ፤ በሆነውም ነገር እየተደነቀ ወደ ቤቱ ሄደ።

¹⁰Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

¹³እነሆም፥ ከእነርሱ ሁለቱ በዚያ ቀን ከኢየሩሳሌም ስድሳ ምዕራፍ ያህል ወደሚርቅ ኤማሁስ ወደሚባል መንደር ይሄዱ ነበር፤

¹¹These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.

¹⁴ስለዚህም ስለ ሆነው ነገር ሁሉ እርስ በርሳቸው ይነጋገሩ ነበር።

¹²But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

¹⁵ሲነጋገሩና ሲመራመሩም፥ ኢየሱስ ራሱ ቀርቦ ከእነርሱ ጋር ይሄድ ነበር፤

¹³Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia 60 stadia = about 11 kilometers or about 7 miles. from Jerusalem.

¹⁶ነገር ግን እንዳያውቁት ዓይናቸው ተይዞ ነበር።

¹⁴They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

¹⁷እርሱም። እየጠወለጋችሁ ስትሄዱ፥ እርስ በርሳችሁ የምትነጋገሩአቸው እነዚህ ነገሮች ምንድር ናቸው? አላቸው።

¹⁵It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

¹⁸ቀለዮጳ የሚባልም አንዱ መልሶ። አንተ በኢየሩሳሌም እንግዳ ሆነህ ለብቻህ ትኖራለህን? በእነዚህ ቀኖች በዚያ የሆነውን ነገር አታውቅምን? አለው።

¹⁶But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

¹⁹እርሱም። ይህ ምንድር ነው? አላቸው። እነርሱም እንዲህ አሉት። በእግዚአብሔርና በሕዝቡ ሁሉ ፊት በሥራና በቃል ብርቱ ነቢይ ስለ ነበረው ስለ ናዝሬቱ ስለ ኢየሱስ፤

¹⁷He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”

²⁰እርሱንም የካህናት አለቆችና መኳንንቶቻችን ለሞት ፍርድ እንዴት አሳልፈው እንደ ሰጡትና እንደ ሰቀሉት ነው።

¹⁸One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”

²¹እኛ ግን እስራኤልን እንዲቤዥ ያለው እርሱ እንደ ሆነ ተስፋ አድርገን ነበር፤ ደግሞም ከዚህ ሁሉ ጋር ይህ ከሆነ ዛሬ ሦስተኛው ቀን ነው።

¹⁹He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

²²ደግሞም ከእኛ ውስጥ ማልደው ከመቃብሩ ዘንድ የነበሩት አንዳንድ ሴቶች አስገረሙን፤

²⁰and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

²³ሥጋውንም ባጡ ጊዜ። ሕያው ነው የሚሉ የመላእክትን ራእይ ደግሞ አየን ሲሉ መጥተው ነበር።

²¹But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

²⁴ከእኛም ጋር ከነበሩት ወደ መቃብር ሄደው ሴቶች እንደ ተናገሩት ሆኖ አገኙት፥ እርሱን ግን አላዩትም።

²²Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

²⁵እርሱም። እናንተ የማታስተውሉ፥ ነቢያትም የተናገሩትን ሁሉ ልባችሁ ከማመን የዘገየ፤

²³and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

²⁶ክርስቶስ ይህን መከራ ይቀበል ዘንድና ወደ ክብሩ ይገባ ዘንድ ይገባው የለምን? አላቸው።

²⁴Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”

²⁷ከሙሴና ከነቢያት ሁሉ ጀምሮ ስለ እርሱ በመጻሕፍት ሁሉ የተጻፈውን ተረጐመላቸው።

²⁵He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁸ወደሚሄዱበትም መንደር ቀረቡ፥ እርሱም ሩቅ የሚሄድ መሰላቸው።

²⁶ Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”

²⁹እነርሱ። ከእኛ ጋር እደር፥ ማታ ቀርቦአልና ቀኑም ሊመሽ ጀምሮአል ብለው ግድ አሉት፤ ከእነርሱም ጋር ሊያድር ገባ።

²⁷Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

³⁰ከእነርሱም ጋር በማዕድ ተቀምጦ ሳለ እንጀራውን አንሥቶ ባረከው፥ ቈርሶም ሰጣቸው፤

²⁸They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

³¹ዓይናቸውም ተከፈተ፥ አወቁትም፤ እርሱም ከእነርሱ ተሰወረ።

²⁹They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.

³²እርስ በርሳቸውም። በመንገድ ሲናገረን መጻሕፍትንም ሲከፍትልን ልባችን ይቃጠልብን አልነበረምን? ተባባሉ።

³⁰It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

³³በዚያችም ሰዓት ተነሥተው ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ተመለሱ፥ አሥራ አንዱና ከእነርሱ ጋር የነበሩትም። ጌታ በእውነት ተነሥቶአል ለስምዖንም ታይቶአል እያሉ በአንድነት ተሰብስበው አገኙአቸው።

³¹Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

³⁵እነርሱም በመንገድ የሆነውን እንጀራውንም በቈረሰ ጊዜ እንዴት እንደ ታወቀላቸው ተረኩላቸው።

³²They said one to another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”

³⁶ይህንም ሲነጋገሩ ኢየሱስ ራሱ በመካከላቸው ቆሞ። ሰላም ለእናንተ ይሁን አላቸው።

³³They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

³⁷ነገር ግን ደነገጡና ፈሩ መንፈስም ያዩ መሰላቸው።

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

³⁸እርሱም። ስለ ምን ትደነግጣላችሁ? ስለ ምንስ አሳብ በልባችሁ ይነሣል?

³⁵They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁹እኔ ራሴ እንደ ሆንሁ እጆቼንና እግሮቼን እዩ፤ በእኔ እንደምታዩት፥ መንፈስ ሥጋና አጥንት የለውምና እኔን ዳስሳችሁ እዩ አላቸው።

³⁶As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

⁴⁰ይህንም ብሎ እጆቹንና እግሮቹን አሳያቸው።

³⁷But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

⁴¹እነርሱም ከደስታ የተነሣ ገና ስላላመኑ ሲደነቁ ሳሉ። በዚህ አንዳች የሚበላ አላችሁን? አላቸው።

³⁸He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

⁴²እነርሱም ከተጠበሰ ዓሣ አንድ ቁራጭ፥ ከማር ወለላም ሰጡት፤

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴³ተቀብሎም በፊታቸው በላ።

⁴⁰When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴⁴እርሱም። ከእናንተ ጋር ሳለሁ በሙሴ ሕግና በነቢያት በመዝሙራትም ስለ እኔ የተጻፈው ሁሉ ይፈጸም ዘንድ ይገባል ብዬ የነገርኋችሁ ቃሌ ይህ ነው አላቸው።

⁴¹While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴⁵በዚያን ጊዜም መጻሕፍትን ያስተውሉ ዘንድ አእምሮአቸውን ከፈተላቸው፤

⁴²They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴⁶እንዲህም አላቸው። ክርስቶስ መከራ ይቀበላል በሦስተኛውም ቀን ከሙታን ይነሣል፥

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

⁴⁷በስሙም ንስሐና የኃጢአት ስርየት ከኢየሩሳሌም ጀምሮ በአሕዛብ ሁሉ ይሰበካል ተብሎ እንዲሁ ተጽፎአል።

⁴⁴He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁸እናንተም ለዚህ ምስክሮች ናችሁ።

⁴⁵Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁹እነሆም፥ አባቴ የሰጠውን ተስፋ እኔ እልክላችኋለሁ፤ እናንተ ግን ከላይ ኃይል እስክትለብሱ ድረስ በኢየሩሳሌም ከተማ ቆዩ።

⁴⁶He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

⁵⁰እስከ ቢታንያም አወጣቸው እጆቹንም አንሥቶ ባረካቸው።

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁵¹ሲባርካቸውም ከእነርሱ ተለየ ወደ ሰማይም ዐረገ።

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁵²እነርሱም፤ ሰገዱለትና በብዙ ደስታ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ተመለሱ፥

⁴⁹ Behold, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

⁵³ዘወትርም እግዚአብሔርን እያመሰገኑና እየባረኩ በመቅደስ ኖሩ።

⁵⁰He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹It happened, while he blessed them, that he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven.

⁵²They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵³and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
