Lucas 24

1 But 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. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body. 4 While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing. 5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth.

The men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?"

8 They remembered his words, 9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles. 11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them. 12 But 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.

13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia*24:13 60 stadia = about 11 kilometers or about 7 miles. from Jerusalem. 14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. 15 While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 He said to them, "What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?"

18 One 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?"

19 He 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; 20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But 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. 22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb; 23 and 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. 24 Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him."

25 He said to them, "Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?" 27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

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

29 They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over."

He went in to stay with them. 30 When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them. 31 Their eyes were opened and they recognized him; then he vanished out of their sight. 32 They said to one another, "Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?" 33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, 34 saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" 35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

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

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

38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts? 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." 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. 43 He took them, and ate in front of them. 44 He 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."

45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures. 46 He 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, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high."

50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Te Aranga

1 Nā, i te rā tuatahi o te wiki, i te tino ata pō, ka haere mai rātou ki te urupā, me te mau mai i ngā mea kakara kua mahia nei e rātou. 2 Ā, rokohanga atu e rātou kua hurihia te kāmaka i te urupā. 3 Ā, ka tomo rātou ki roto, kīhai i kitea te tinana o te Ariki, o Īhu. 4 Nā, i a rātou e pōkaikaha ana ki tēnei, nā, tū ana ngā tāngata tokorua i ō rātou taha, uira tonu ngā kākahu. 5 Nā, i a rātou e mataku ana, e kūpapa iho ana ō rātou kanohi ki te whenua, ka mea rāua ki a rātou, "He aha koutou ka rapu ai i te tangata ora i roto i te hunga mate? 6 Kāhore ia i konei, engari kua ara. Kia mahara ki tāna i mea ai ki a koutou i a ia anō i Karirī, 7 ki tāna meatanga, ‘Kua takoto te tikanga kia tukua te Tama a te tangata ki ngā ringa o te hunga hara, kia rīpekatia, ā, i te toru o ngā rā ka ara.’ "

8 Nā, ka mahara rātou ki āna kupu, 9 ā, hoki mai ana i te urupā, ka kōrero i ēnei mea katoa ki te tekau mā tahi, ki a rātou ko ērā atu katoa. 10 Nā, ko Meri Makarini rātou ko Hoana, ko Meri whaea o Hēmi, ko ō rātou hoa wāhine, ngā kaikōrero i ēnei mea ki ngā āpōtoro. 11 Ā, ko te āhua o aua kupu ki tā rātou whakaaro he mea tito noa; kīhai i whakaponohia e rātou. 12 Kātahi ka whakatika a Pita, ka oma ki te urupā. Ā, ko tōna pikonga iho ka kite, ko ngā kākahu tākai anake e takoto ana; ā, hoki ana ki tōna whare me te mīharo anō i roto i a ia ki taua mea i meatia.

Te Haere ki Emāuha

13 Nā, tokorua o rātou e haere ana i taua rā ki tētahi kāinga, e ono tekau pāronga te matara i Hiruhārama, ko Emāuha te ingoa. 14 E kōrerorero ana hoki rāua tētahi ki tētahi ki ēnei mea katoa i meinga. 15 Ā, i a rāua e kōrerorero ana, e uiui ana ki a rāua, nā ko Īhu, ko ia tonu, kua whakatata, ā, haere tahi ana me rāua. 16 I puritia hoki ō rāua kanohi, i kore ai rāua e mōhio ki a ia.

17 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rāua, "He aha ēnei kupu e kōrero nei kōrua ki a kōrua, i a kōrua e haere nei?"

Nā, ka tū rāua, kīhai i korikori, me te āhua pōuri. 18 Nā, ka whakahoki tētahi, ko Kereopa te ingoa, ka mea ki a ia, "I Hiruhārama koe e noho ana, ā, ko koe anake kāhore i mōhio ki ngā mea kua meinga nei ki reira i ēnei rā?"

19 Ka mea ia ki a rāua, "Ki ēhea mea?"

Ka mea rāua ki a ia, "Ki ngā mea o Īhu o Nahareta, he poropiti hoki ia, he kaha tāna mahi, tāna kupu, i te aroaro o te Atua, o te iwi katoa. 20 Ki tōna hoatutanga e ngā tohunga nui, e ō mātou rangatira hoki kia tukua ki te mate, ā, rīpekatia ana ia. 21 I tūmanako anō mātou ki a ia, māna e whakaora a Īharaira. Nā, i te taha o ēnei mea katoa, ko te toru tēnei o ngā rā i meinga ai ēnei mea. 22 Ā, mīharo noa iho mātou ki ētahi wāhine o mātou, i haere i te atatū ki te urupā; 23 heoi, i te korenga i kitea e rātou tōna tinana, ka hoki mai, ka mea, i kitea anō e rātou he putanga anahera, e kī ana mai kei te ora ia. 24 Nā, ka haere atu ētahi o ō māua hoa ki te urupā, ā, rokohanga atu, rite tonu ki tā ngā wāhine i kōrero ai; otirā, kīhai ia i kitea."

25 Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a rāua, "E te hunga whakaarokore, ngākau pūhoi ki te whakapono ki ngā mea katoa i kōrero ai ngā poropiti. 26 Kāhore ianei i takoto te tikanga kia pā ēnei mea ki a te Karaiti, kia tomo ia ki tōna korōria?" 27 Nā, ka tīmata ia ki tā Mohi, ki tā ngā poropiti katoa, whakaaturia ana ki a rāua ngā mea mōna o ngā karaipiture katoa.

28 Ā, ka tata ki te kāinga i haere ai rāua, nā, ka ahu atu ia, me te mea e haere tonu ana ia. 29 Nā, ka tohe rāua ki a ia, ka mea "E noho ki a māua; kua ahiahi hoki, kua tītaha te rā." Nā, ka tomo atu ia, ka noho ki a rāua.

30 Ā, i tōna nohoanga iho ki a rāua ki te kai, ka mau ia ki te taro, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, ā, hoatu ana ki a rāua. 31 Nā, kua kite ō rāua kanohi, ā, ka mōhio ki a ia; ā, ngaro whakarere atu ia i a rāua. 32 Ā, ka mea rāua ki a rāua, "Kīhai koia ō tāua ngākau i mumura i roto i a tāua, i a ia e kōrero ana ki a tāua i te ara, e whakaatu ana i ngā karaipiture ki a tāua?"

33 Nā, ka whakatika rāua i taua hāora anō, ā, hoki ana ki Hiruhārama, ā, rokohanga atu kua huihui te tekau mā tahi me ō rātou hoa. 34 E mea ana, "Koia rawa anō! Kua ara te Ariki, kua puta ki a Haimona." 35 Nā, ka kōrerotia e rāua ngā meatanga i te ara, tō rāua mōhiotanga hoki ki a ia i te whatiwhatinga o te taro.

Ka Puta Mai a Īhu ki Āna Ākonga

36 Ā, i a rāua e kōrero ana i ēnei mea, nā tērā ia tū ana i waenganui o rātou, mea ana ki a rātou, "Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou."

37 Otirā, koera ana rātou, wehi ana; i mahara hoki he wairua tā rātou i kite ai. 38 Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a rātou, "He aha koutou ka pororaru ai? Nā te aha hoki i puta ake ai ngā whakaaroaronga i roto i ō koutou ngākau? 39 Tirohia ōku ringa me ōku waewae, ko ahau tonu tēnei; whāwhākia ahau, kia kite ai koutou; kāhore hoki o te wairua kikokiko, wheua rānei, pēnei i ōku e kitea mai nā e koutou."

40 Ā, nō ka kōrerotia e ia tēnei, ka whakakitea e ia ki a rātou ōna ringa me ōna waewae. 41 Ā, i a rātou kāhore nei i whakapono i te hari, e mīharo ana hoki, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "He kai rānei tā koutou kei konei?" 42 Nā, ka hoatu e rātou ki a ia tētahi ika, he mea tunutunu. 43 Nā, ka tango ia, ā, kainga ana e ia i tō rātou aroaro.

44 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "Ko ngā kupu ēnei i kōrero ai ahau ki a koutou, i ahau anō i a koutou, me whakarite ngā mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi i roto i te ture a Mohi, i ngā poropiti, i ngā waiata, mōku."

45 Kātahi ia ka whakamakoha i ō rātou hinengaro, kia mātau ai ki ngā karaipiture, 46 ka mea ki a rātou, "Ko te mea tēnei i tuhituhia: ko te tikanga anō tēnei, ko te Karaiti kia whakamamaetia, kia ara anō i te hunga mate i te toru o ngā rā; 47 kia kauwhautia hoki te rīpenetā me te murunga hara i runga i tōna ingoa ki ngā tauiwi katoa, ki Hiruhārama tīmata ai. 48 Nā, ko koutou hei kaiwhakaatu mō ēnei mea. 49 Nanā, māku e tuku ki a koutou te mea i kōrerotia i mua e tōku Matua; otiia, e noho koutou ki te pā, ki Hiruhārama, kia whiwhi rā anō ki te kaha i runga."

Ka Tangohia ake a Īhu ki te Rangi

50 Nā, ārahina ana rātou e ia ki waho, ki Petani, nā, kua ara ōna ringa, whakapaingia ana rātou e ia. 51 Ā, i a ia e whakapai ana i a rātou, ka mawehe atu ia i a rātou, kāhakina atu ana ki te rangi. 52 Nā, ka koropiko rātou ki a ia, ā, hoki ana ki Hiruhārama, he nui hoki te koa. 53 Ā, noho tonu ai rātou i te temepara, me te whakapai ki te Atua. Āmine.
