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.

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

²They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

²ድንጋዩንም ከመቃብሩ ተንከባሎ አገኙት፥

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

³ገብተውም የጌታን የኢየሱስን ሥጋ አላገኙም።

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?”

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

⁸They remembered his words,

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

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

¹¹ይህም ቃል ቅዠት መስሎ ታያቸውና አላመኑአቸውም።

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

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

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

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

¹⁴ስለዚህም ስለ ሆነው ነገር ሁሉ እርስ በርሳቸው ይነጋገሩ 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.

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

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

¹⁶ነገር ግን እንዳያውቁት ዓይናቸው ተይዞ ነበር።

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

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

¹⁶But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

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

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

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

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?”

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁸ወደሚሄዱበትም መንደር ቀረቡ፥ እርሱም ሩቅ የሚሄድ መሰላቸው።

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

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

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

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

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.

³¹ዓይናቸውም ተከፈተ፥ አወቁትም፤ እርሱም ከእነርሱ ተሰወረ።

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.

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

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

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

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?”

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

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

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

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

³⁷ነገር ግን ደነገጡና ፈሩ መንፈስም ያዩ መሰላቸው።

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

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

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

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

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

⁴⁰ይህንም ብሎ እጆቹንና እግሮቹን አሳያቸው።

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

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

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.”

⁴²እነርሱም ከተጠበሰ ዓሣ አንድ ቁራጭ፥ ከማር ወለላም ሰጡት፤

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

⁴³ተቀብሎም በፊታቸው በላ።

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

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

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

⁴⁵በዚያን ጊዜም መጻሕፍትን ያስተውሉ ዘንድ አእምሮአቸውን ከፈተላቸው፤

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

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

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.”

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

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

⁴⁸እናንተም ለዚህ ምስክሮች ናችሁ።

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,

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

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

⁵⁰እስከ ቢታንያም አወጣቸው እጆቹንም አንሥቶ ባረካቸው።

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁵¹ሲባርካቸውም ከእነርሱ ተለየ ወደ ሰማይም ዐረገ።

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.”

⁵²እነርሱም፤ ሰገዱለትና በብዙ ደስታ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ተመለሱ፥

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

⁵³ዘወትርም እግዚአብሔርን እያመሰገኑና እየባረኩ በመቅደስ ኖሩ።

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.
