< Mark 9 >
1 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, there are some of those who have stood here, who will, no, not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete ũthamaki wa Ngai ũgĩũka wĩ na hinya!”
2 And after six days Jesus takes Peter and James and John, and leads them up onto a high mountain alone, in private. And he was transfigured before them,
Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, Jesũ nĩmathiire na Petero na Jakubu na Johana, akĩmatwara kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩraaya, marĩ oiki. Na rĩrĩ, arĩ hau mbere yao akĩgarũrũka ũrĩa aahaanaga.
3 and his garments became glistening, exceedingly white, as snow, such as no fuller on earth is able to whiten.
Nguo ciake ikĩerũha cua; gũtirĩ mũndũ gũkũ thĩ ũngĩahotire gũcithambia cierũhe ũguo.
4 And Elijah with Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
Na marĩ o hau makiumĩrĩrwo nĩ Elija na Musa, makĩaranĩria na Jesũ.
5 And having responded, Peter says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And we could make three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Nake Petero akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Rabii, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũikara gũkũ. Reke twake ithũnũ ithatũ, kĩmwe gĩaku, na kĩmwe kĩa Musa, na kĩmwe kĩa Elija.”
6 For he knew not what he would say, for they were frightened.
(Petero oigire ũguo tondũ nĩarigĩtwo nĩ ũrĩa ekuuga, nĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa maamakĩte.)
7 And a cloud developed overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.
Ningĩ hagĩũka itu, rĩkĩmahumbĩra, na mũgambo ũkiuma itu-inĩ rĩu, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa nyendete. Mũiguagei!”
8 And suddenly having looked around, they saw no man anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.
Na kahinda o kau makĩĩhũgũra, no mationire mũndũ ũngĩ arĩ hamwe nao, tiga o Jesũ.
9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no man what they saw, except when the Son of man will rise from the dead.
Na rĩrĩa maikũrũkaga kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, Jesũ akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa monete, nginya rĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agaakorwo ariũkĩte akoima kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
10 And they kept the saying to themselves, discussing what is the rising from the dead.
Nao magĩkira na ũhoro ũcio, no makooranagia o ene atĩrĩ, “kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ akuũ nĩ kuuga atĩa.”
11 And they questioned him, saying, The scholars say that Elijah must first come.
Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutani a watho moige atĩ Elija no nginya ambe ooke?”
12 And having answered, he said to them, Elijah indeed comes first and restores all. And how it is written for the Son of man, that he would suffer many things and be rejected.
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Elija no nginya ambe ooke ahaarĩrie maũndũ mothe. Ningĩ nĩ kĩĩ gĩgĩtũmĩte kwandĩkwo atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ no nginya athĩĩnĩke mũno na aregwo nĩ andũ?
13 But I say to you, that Elijah has also come, and they did to him as much as they wanted, just as it is written for him.
No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Elija nĩarĩkĩtie gũũka na andũ makamwĩka o ũrĩa wothe meendaga kũmwĩka, o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wake wandĩkĩtwo.”
14 And when they came to the disciples he saw a great multitude around them, and scholars disputing with them.
Na rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩ arutwo arĩa angĩ, makĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩmarigiicĩirie, na arutani a watho magĩkararania nao.
15 And straightaway all the multitude, having noticed him, were startled. And running near they greeted him.
Na rĩrĩa andũ othe moonire Jesũ, makĩgega mũno magĩtengʼera makamũgeithie.
16 And he questioned the scholars, What are ye disputing with them?
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũrakararanĩria nao?”
17 And having answered, one from the multitude said, Teacher, I brought my son to thee, who has a mute spirit.
Mũndũ ũmwe warĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ngũkũreheire mũrũ wakwa, ũkoragwo arĩ na ngoma thũku na ndaaragia.
18 And wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes limp. And I spoke to thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe yamũnyiita, ĩmũtungumanagia thĩ na akarutaga mũhũyũ na kanua, akahagarania magego na akomagara. Njũũririe arutwo aku maingate ngoma ĩyo thũku, no matinahota.”
19 And having answered him, he says, O faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him to me.
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rũtetĩkagia, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũikarania na inyuĩ? Ngũmũkirĩrĩria nginya rĩ? Ndeherai kamwana kau.”
20 And they brought him to him. And when he saw him, straightaway the spirit convulsed him. And having fallen on the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩgatwarĩra Jesũ. Rĩrĩa ngoma ĩyo thũku yoonire Jesũ, ĩgĩgathiorania o rĩmwe. Gagĩtungumana thĩ, gakĩgaragara, gakĩrutaga mũhũyũ na kanua.
21 And he questioned his father, How much time is it since this has happened to him? And he said, From childhood.
Nake Jesũ akĩũria ithe wa kamwana kau atĩrĩ, “Nĩ hĩndĩ ĩigana atĩa gakoretwo kahaana ũguo?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kuuma arĩ o kaana.
22 And it often casts him both into the fire and into the waters so that it might destroy him. But if thou can do anything, help us, having compassion toward us.
Na maita maingĩ yanagaikia mwaki-inĩ o na maaĩ-inĩ ĩkoorage. No akorwo nĩ harĩ ũndũ ũngĩka, tũiguĩre tha ũtũteithie.”
23 And Jesus said to him, If thou are able to believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Atĩ ‘korwo ndahota’? Maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie.”
24 And straightaway the father of the child having cried out, he said with tears, I believe. Lord, help thou my unbelief.
O rĩmwe ithe wa kamwana kau akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkia, ndeithia harĩa njagĩte gwĩtĩkia.”
25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Thou mute and deaf spirit, I command thee to come out of him, and enter into him no more.
Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire atĩ kĩrĩndĩ nĩgĩatengʼerete gĩũke hau, agĩkũũma ngoma ĩyo thũku. Akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee ngoma ĩno thũku ũtaiguaga na ũtaaragia, nĩndagwatha uume thĩinĩ wa kamwana gaka, na ndũkanacooke gũtoonya thĩinĩ wako rĩngĩ.”
26 And having cried out, and having convulsed him much, it came out. And he became as if dead, so as for many to say that he was dead.
Ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩgĩkayũrũrũka, ĩgĩgathiorania na hinya, na ĩkiuma. Kamwana kau gakĩhaana ta karĩ gakuũ, o nginya andũ aingĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ gakuũ.”
27 But having taken him by the hand, Jesus lifted him up, and he arose.
No Jesũ agĩkanyiita guoko, agĩgokĩria, nako gakĩrũgama.
28 And when he came into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, We were not able to cast it out.
Thuutha wa Jesũ gũtoonya nyũmba, arutwo ake makĩmũũrĩria keheri-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmire ithuĩ tũremwo nĩ kũingata ngoma ĩyo?”
29 And he said to them, This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngoma ya mũthemba ta ũcio ndĩngiuma na njĩra ĩngĩ tiga o ya mahooya (o na kwĩima irio).” (Nĩ harĩ maandĩko mangĩ matakoragwo na ũhoro ũyũ wa kwĩima irio).
30 And having departed from there, they passed through Galilee, and he did not want that any man would know it.
Nao makiuma kũu magĩtuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Galili, na Jesũ ndeendaga mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye kũrĩa marĩ,
31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And after being killed, he will rise the third day.
tondũ nĩarutaga arutwo ake. Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũkunyanĩrwo aneanwo moko-inĩ ma andũ, nao nĩmakamũũraga, no thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ nĩakariũka.”
32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to question him.
No matiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa oigaga, na magĩĩtigĩra kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio.
33 And he came to Capernaum. And having become in the house he questioned them, What were ye deliberating among yourselves on the way?
Nao magĩkinya Kaperinaumu. Na rĩrĩa aarĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũgũkararanagĩria kĩĩ tũrĩ njĩra-inĩ?”
34 But they were silent, for on the way they discussed among each other, who is greater.
No-o magĩkira tondũ marĩ njĩra-inĩ nĩmakararanagia makĩũranagia nũũ mũnene kũrĩ arĩa angĩ.
35 And having sat down, he called the twelve, and he says to them, If any man wants to be first, he will be last of all, and helper of all.
Na aikara thĩ, Jesũ agĩĩta arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩenda gũtuĩka wa mbere, no nginya akorwo arĩ wa thuutha wa arĩa angĩ na atuĩke ndungata ya andũ othe.”
36 And having taken a child, he set it in the midst of them. And after embracing it, he said to them,
Nake akĩrehe kaana agĩkarũgamia gatagatĩ kao. Na aarĩkia gũkaiyũkia moko-inĩ make, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
37 Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, receives me, and whoever may receive me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.
“Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩamũkĩra kaana kamwe ta gaka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩ niĩ aamũkagĩra; na ũrĩa ũngĩnyamũkĩra niĩ to niĩ aamũkagĩra, no nĩamũkagĩra ũrĩa wandũmire.”
38 And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw a certain man, who does not follow us, casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
Johana akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩtũronire mũndũ akĩingata ndaimono thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku tũramwĩra atige, tondũ ti ũmwe witũ.”
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not, for there is no man who will do a mighty work in my name, and will be able quickly to speak evil of me.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũgirie! Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩringa kĩama thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa na thuutha ũcio ahote gũcooka kwaria ũũru wakwa,
40 For he who is not against you is for you.
Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũthũ na ithuĩ nĩ ũmwe witũ.
41 For whoever may give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye are of Christ, truly I say to you, he will, no, not lose his reward.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkaamũhe gĩkombe kĩa maaĩ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩ ũndũ mũrĩ a Kristũ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ akoorwo nĩ igai rĩake.”
42 And whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is good for him instead, if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
“Na mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgaatũma kamwe ga twana tũtũ tũnjĩtĩkĩtie kehie, wega nĩ mũndũ ũcio ohererwo ihiga rĩa gĩthĩi ngingo na aikio thĩinĩ wa iria.
43 And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off. It is good for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna )
Guoko gwaku kũngĩtũma wĩhie, gũtinie. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye muoyo-inĩ wĩ kĩonje,
44 where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched.
gũkĩra ũthiĩ Jehanamu kũrĩa kũrĩ mwaki ũtahoraga ũrĩ na moko meerĩ. (Geenna )
45 And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off. It is good for thee to enter into life crippled, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire (Geenna )
Nakuo kũgũrũ gwaku kũngĩtũma wĩhie, gũtinie. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye muoyo-inĩ ũrĩ gĩthua, gũkĩra ũikio Jehanamu ũrĩ na magũrũ meerĩ. (Geenna )
46 where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched.
Kũu kĩgunyũ kĩrĩa kĩmarĩĩaga gĩtikuaga, naguo mwaki ũrĩa ũmacinaga ndũhoraga.
47 And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, pluck it out. It is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire, (Geenna )
Na riitho rĩaku rĩngĩtũma wĩhie, rĩkũũre. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai ũrĩ na riitho rĩmwe gũkĩra ũikio Jehanamu ũrĩ na maitho meerĩ, (Geenna )
48 where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched.
kũu “‘kĩgunyũ kĩrĩa kĩmarĩĩaga gĩtikuaga, naguo mwaki ũrĩa ũmacinaga ndũhoraga.’
49 For every man will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt material.
Mũndũ o wothe agekĩrwo mũcamo wa cumbĩ nĩ mwaki, (na igongona o rĩothe rĩĩkĩrwo mũcamo na cumbĩ).
50 The salt material is good, but if the salt material becomes saltless, by what will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace among each other.
“Cumbĩ nĩ mwega, no cumbĩ ũngĩkorwo nĩũthirĩte mũcamo waguo-rĩ, ũngĩcooka gũcamithio ta cumbĩ na kĩ? Tuĩkai cumbĩ, na mũikaranagie na thayũ.”
