¹Zvino nemusi wekutanga wevhiki, mambakwedza, vakauya kuguva, vakatakura zvinonhuhwira zvavakange vagadzirira, nevamwe vanavo.

¹And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,

²Zvino vakawana ibwe rakakunguruswa kubva paguva.

²and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,

³Vakabva vapinda vakasawana mutumbi waIshe Jesu.

³and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

⁴Zvino zvikaitika vakakanganiswa nazvo, zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakamira navo vakapfeka nguvo dzinopenya;

⁴And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,

⁵zvino vachiri kutya, ndokukotamisa zviso pasi, varume vakati kwavari: Munotsvakirei mupenyu pevakafa?

⁵and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the living with the dead?

⁶Haasi pano, asi wamuka; rangarirai kuti wakataura sei kwamuri achiri muGarirea,

⁶he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee,

⁷achiti: Mwanakomana wemunhu unofanira kukumikidzwa mumaoko evanhu vezvivi, nekurovererwa pamuchinjikwa, uye pazuva retatu amukezve.

⁷saying — It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.`

⁸Zvino vakarangarira mashoko ake.

⁸And they remembered his sayings,

⁹Zvino vakadzoka vachibva guva, akaudza zvinhu izvi zvose kuvanegumi neumwe nekune vamwe vose.

⁹and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

¹⁰Vaiva Maria Magidharini naJohwana naMaria mai vaJakobho, nevamwe vavaiva navo, vakaudza vaapositori zvinhu izvi.

¹⁰And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,

¹¹Zvino mashoko avo akaonekera sekutaura kusina maturo pamberi pavo, uye havana kuvatenda.

¹¹and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.

¹²Asi Petro wakasimuka akamhanyira kuguva; ndokukotama akadongorera, akaona micheka yerineni yakaradzikwa yoga; ndokuenda, ashamisika mukati make nezvakange zvaitika.

¹²And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

¹³Zvino tarira, pazuva irero vaviri vavo vaifamba vachienda kumusha wainzi Emausi, wakange uri masitadhia* makumi matanhatu kubva kuJerusarema.

¹³And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] Emmaus,

¹⁴Zvino ivo vaitaurirana pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvose zvakange zvaitika.

¹⁴and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.

¹⁵Zvino zvakaitika kuti vachitaurirana nekubvunzana, Jesu amene wakaswedera akafamba navo,

¹⁵And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on with them,

¹⁶asi meso avo akange abatwa kuti vasamuziva.

¹⁶and their eyes were holden so as not to know him,

¹⁷Zvino wakati kwavari: Mashoko ei awa amunokurukura muchifamba, uye makasuruvara?

¹⁷and he said unto them, `What [are] these words that ye exchange with one another, walking, and ye are sad?`

¹⁸Umwe, zita rake rainzi Kiriyopasi, ndokupindura akati kwaari: Ndiwe woga mutorwa muJerusarema, usati aziva zvakaitikamo mumazuva ano here?

¹⁸And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, `Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass in it in these days?`

¹⁹Zvino akati kwavari: Zvinhui? Ivo vakati kwaari: Zviri maererano naJesu weNazareta, waiva murume muporofita une simba pachiito nepashoko pamberi paMwari nevanhu vose;

¹⁹And he said to them, `What things?` And they said to him, `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man — a prophet — powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

²⁰uye kuti vapristi vakuru nevatongi vedu vakamukumikidza sei kuti atongerwe rufu, uye vakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa.

²⁰how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;

²¹Asi isu taivimba kuti ndiye waizodzikunura Israeri. Asiwo kunze kweizvi zvose, nhasi rino zuva retatu kubva zvaitika zvinhu izvi.

²¹and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.

²²Asi vamwewo vakadzi vekwedu vatishamisa, vanga vafumira kuguva;

²²`And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,

²³zvino vati vasingawani mutumbi wake, vauya vachiti vaona chiratidzo chevatumwawo, vati mupenyu.

²³and not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive,

²⁴Uye vamwe vevaiva nesu vaenda kuguva, vakawanawo zvakadaro vakadzi sezvavakange vareva; asi iye havana kumuona.

²⁴and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.`

²⁵Zvino iye akati kwavari: Haiwa imwi vekusanzwisisa, uye mune moyo ine chinono kutenda zvose vaporofita zvavakataura!

²⁵And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!

²⁶Ko Kristu wakange asingafaniri kutambudzika nezvinhu izvi, ndokupinda pakubwinya kwake here?

²⁶Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?`

²⁷Ndokutanga kuna Mozisi nekuvaporofita vose, akadudzira kwavari mumagwaro ose zvinhu zviri maererano naye.

²⁷and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself.

²⁸Zvino vakaswedera kumusha kwavakange vachienda; iye ndokuita sewopfuurira.

²⁸And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further,

²⁹Asi vakamumanikidza, vachiti: Garai nesu, nekuti koda kuvira, uye zuva ranyura. Ndokupinda kunogara navo.

²⁹and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it is toward evening,` and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.

³⁰Zvino zvakaitika agere navo pakudya, wakatora chingwa akaropafadza, akamedura ndokupa kwavari.

³⁰And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them,

³¹Zvino meso avo ndokuzarurwa, ndokumuziva; iye ndokunyangarika kwavari.

³¹and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became unseen by them.

³²Zvino vakataurirana vachiti: Moyo yedu yanga isingapisi mukati medu here paanga achitaura nesu munzira, nepaanga achitizarurira magwaro?

³²And they said one to another, `Was not our heart burning within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?`

³³Zvino vakasimuka neawa iroro, vakadzokera kuJerusarema, vakawana vanegumi neumwe vakaungana nevaiva navo,

³³And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them,

³⁴vachiti: Ishe wamuka zvirokwazvo, waonekwa naSimoni.

³⁴saying — `The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;`

³⁵Ivo vakarondedzera zvinhu zvakaitika munzira, uye kuti wakazikamwa navo sei pakumedura chingwa.

³⁵and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,

³⁶Zvino vakati vachataura zvinhu izvozvi, Jesu amene wakamira pakati pavo, akati kwavari: Rugare kwamuri.

³⁶and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace — to you;`

³⁷Asi vakavhunduswa, vakatya, vakafunga kuti vaona mweya.

³⁷and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.

³⁸Zvino akati kwavari: Munotambudzikirei, uye mifungo inomukirei mumoyo yenyu?

³⁸And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?

³⁹Tarirai maoko angu netsoka dzangu, kuti ndini ndomene. Ndibatei, muone, nekuti mweya hauna nyama nemafupa, sezvamunoona ndinazvo.

³⁹see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.`

⁴⁰Zvino wakati areva izvi akavaratidza maoko netsoka.

⁴⁰And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,

⁴¹Zvino vakati vachigere kutenda nekuda kwekufara vachishamisika, akati kwavari: Mune chinodyika pano here?

⁴¹and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?`

⁴²Zvino vakamupa nhindi yehove yakagochwa neyezinga reuchi.

⁴²and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb,

⁴³Iye ndokutora akadya pamberi pavo.

⁴³and having taken, he did eat before them,

⁴⁴Zvino wakati kwavari: Awa mashoko andakataura kwamuri ndichiri nemwi, kuti zvinhu zvose zvinofanira kuzadziswa, zvakanyorwa pamurairo waMozisi, nepavaporofita nepaMapisarema maererano neni.

⁴⁴and he said to them, `These [are] the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.`

⁴⁵Ipapo akazarura kunzwisisa kwavo, kuti vanzwisise magwaro.

⁴⁵Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,

⁴⁶Ndokuti kwavari: Zvakanyorwa saizvozvi, saizvozvo zvakafanira Kristu kutambudzika, nekumuka kuvakafa zuva retatu,

⁴⁶and he said to them — `Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

⁴⁷uye kuti kutendeuka nekangamwiro yezvivi zviparidzirwe marudzi ose muzita rake, kutanga paJerusarema.

⁴⁷and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

⁴⁸Uye imwi muri zvapupu zvezvinhu izvi.

⁴⁸and ye — ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹Zvino tarirai, ini ndinotuma chivimbiso chaBaba vangu pamusoro penyu; asi imwi garai muguta reJerusarema, kusvikira mafukidzwa nesimba rinobva kumusoro.

⁴⁹`And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye — abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.`

⁵⁰Zvino akavatungamirira kunze kusvikira Bhetaniya, ndokusimudza maoko ake akavaropafadza.

⁵⁰And he led them forth without — unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,

⁵¹Zvino zvakaitika achavaropafadza, akaparadzana navo, akakwidzwa kudenga.

⁵¹and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;

⁵²Zvino vakamufugamira, vakadzokera kuJerusarema vane mufaro mukuru;

⁵²and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵³uye vakagara nguva dzose mutembere, vachirumbidza nekutenda Mwari. Ameni

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