Luke 13
1 And there were present, at that time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ amwe maarĩ ho hĩndĩ ĩyo, arĩa meerire Jesũ ũhoro wa andũ a Galili arĩa mooragĩtwo nĩ Pilato makĩruta magongona, nayo thakame yao igĩtukana na ya nyamũ cia magongona mao.
2 And Jesus answered and said to them: Do you think that those Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Anga mũgwĩciiria atĩ andũ acio maanyariirirwo ũguo tondũ acio maarĩ ehia gũkĩra andũ acio angĩ othe a Galili?
3 I tell you, No; but unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, aca! No rĩrĩ, mwaga kwĩrira, o na inyuĩ inyuothe mũkaniinwo o tao.
4 Or, those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were greater debtors than all other men that were living in Jerusalem?
Kana andũ arĩa ikũmi na anana, arĩa magwĩrĩirwo nĩ nyũmba ĩrĩa ndaaya kũu itũũra rĩa Siloamu ĩkĩmooraga-rĩ, anga mũgwĩciiria atĩ maarĩ na mahĩtia maingĩ gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe maatũũraga kũu Jerusalemu?
5 I tell you, No; but unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, aca! No rĩrĩ, mwaga kwĩrira, o na inyuĩ inyuothe mũkaaniinwo o tao.”
6 And he spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree that was planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none.
Agĩcooka akĩmaarĩria na ngerekano, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũmwe aarĩ na mũkũyũ wahandĩtwo thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda wake wa mĩthabibũ, nake agĩthiĩ gũcaria maciaro mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio, no ndaigana kuona ngũyũ o na ĩmwe.
7 Then he said to his vine-dresser, Behold, for three years I have come and sought fruit on this fig-tree, and I have found none; cut it down; why does it occupy the ground unprofitably?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, akĩĩra mũruti wa wĩra wa mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩu nĩ mĩaka ĩtatũ njũkaga gũcaria maciaro mũkũyũ-inĩ, ũyũ na ndirĩ ndoona ngũyũ o na ĩmwe. Ũteme! Ũũthũkagĩria mũgũnda nĩkĩ?’
8 But he answered and said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and throw in manure;
“No mũndũ ũcio akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi ũyũ, nĩtũreke ũikare mwaka ũngĩ ũmwe, ndĩũrĩmĩre na ndĩwĩkĩre thumu.
9 and it may bear fruit; but if not, afterward you shall cut it down.
Naguo ũngĩciara hĩndĩ ĩyo, nĩ wega! No ũngĩaga gũciara, no ũtemwo.’”
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe wa Thabatũ, Jesũ nĩkũrutana aarutanaga thĩinĩ wa thunagogi ĩmwe,
11 And, behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and was not able to raise herself up at all.
nakuo gũgĩkorwo nĩ kwarĩ na mũtumia wonjetio nĩ ngoma thũku mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana. Atũire ainamĩrĩire atekũhota gwĩtiira o na hanini.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her: Woman, you are released from your infirmity.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aamuonire, akĩmwĩta, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ nĩwohorwo kuuma kũrĩ wonje waku.”
13 And he laid his hands on her; and she immediately stood erect, and glorified God.
Agĩcooka akĩmũigĩrĩra moko, na kahinda o kau agĩĩtiira, na akĩgooca Ngai.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath-day, answered and said to the multitude: There are six days in which work ought to be done; on these, therefore, come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. Then the Lord answered him and said:
Nake mũnene wa thunagogi akĩrakara mũno nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ kũhonania mũthenya wa Thabatũ. Nake akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “He na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ ya kũruta wĩra. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũkagai kũhonio mĩthenya ĩyo, no ti mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
15 Hypocrites, does not each one of you, on the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass from the stable, and lead him away, and give him water?
Nowe Mwathani akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ hinga ici! Githĩ o mũndũ wanyu ndohoraga ndegwa yake kana ndigiri yake yume kiugũ mũthenya wa Thabatũ, amĩtware ĩthiĩ ĩkanyue maaĩ?
16 And ought not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
Nake mũtumia ũyũ mwarĩ wa Iburahĩmu, ũrĩa ũtũire ohetwo nĩ Shaitani mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana; ndakĩagĩrĩrwo nĩ kuohorwo o na kũrĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced on account of all the glorious things that were done by him.
Rĩrĩa oigire ũguo, thũ ciake ciothe igĩconoka, no kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩa andũ gĩgĩkena nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ ma magegania marĩa eekaga.
18 Then he said: To what is the kingdom of God like; and to what shall I liken it?
Ningĩ Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wa Ngai ũhaanaine na kĩ? Na ngũũgerekania na kĩĩ?
19 It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and sowed in his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the birds of the air roosted in its branches.
Ũhaana ta mbeũ ya karatarĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ oire akĩhaanda mũgũnda wake. Igĩkũra ĩgĩtuĩka mũtĩ, nacio nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ igĩũka igĩaka itara honge-inĩ ciaguo.”
20 And again he said: To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Ningĩ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩgerekania ũthamaki wa Ngai na kĩĩ?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.
Ũhaana ta ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ooire na akĩmĩtukania na mũtu mũingĩ, o nginya wothe ũkĩimba.”
22 And he went through every city and village, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.
Nake Jesũ agĩthiĩ ahĩtũkĩire matũũra-inĩ na tũtũũra-inĩ akĩrutanaga erekeire Jerusalemu.
23 And a certain man said to him: Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said to them:
Nake mũndũ ũmwe akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani anga no andũ anini tu makahonokio?” Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
24 Strive to enter in through the strait gate; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
“Geragiai na hinya gũtoonyera mũrango ũrĩa mũceke; tondũ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ nĩ makaageria gũtoonya, no matikahota.
25 When once the master of the house has risen, and closed the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence you are;
Rĩrĩa mwene nyũmba agaakorwo okĩrĩte na ahinge mũrango-rĩ, mũkaarũgama hau nja mũkĩringaringaga mũrango mũkĩmũthaithaga, mũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi witũ, tũhingũrĩre mũrango.’ “Nake nĩakamũcookeria amwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndimũũĩ o na ndiũĩ kũrĩa muumĩte.’
26 then, you will begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtwarĩĩanagĩra na tũkanyuuanĩra nawe, o na nĩwarutanaga njĩra-inĩ cia matũũra maitũ.’
27 And he shall say, I tell you, I know you not, whence you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
“Nowe nĩakamacookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndimũũĩ, o na ndiũĩ kũrĩa muumĩte. Njehererai, inyuĩ inyuothe mwĩkaga ũũru!’
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but your selves cast out.
“Kũu nĩgũkagĩa na kĩrĩro, na kũhagarania magego, rĩrĩa mũkoona Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, na anabii othe marĩ ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai, no inyuĩ mũkorwo mũikĩtio nja.
29 And they shall come from the east and the west, and from the north and the south, and shall recline at table in the kingdom of God.
Nao andũ nĩmagooka kuuma mwena wa irathĩro, na wa ithũĩro, na wa gathigathini, na wa gũthini, maikare thĩ iruga-inĩ kũu ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.
30 And behold, there are last that shall be first, and there arc first that shall be last.
No ti-itherũ, nĩ kũrĩ andũ marĩ thuutha magaatuĩka a mbere, na nĩ kũrĩ a mbere magaatuĩka a thuutha.”
31 On the same day, certain Pharisees came and said to him: Depart, and get away from this place; for Herod intends to kill you.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai amwe magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Uma gũkũ ũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ. Herode nĩarenda gũkũũragithia.”
32 And he said to them: Go and toll that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I finish the work.
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkeere mbwe ĩyo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũmũthĩ na rũciũ ngũkorwo ngĩingata ndaimono na ngĩhonia andũ, na mũthenya wa ĩtatũ ndĩĩkie wĩra wakwa.’
33 But I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not possible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
O na kũrĩ ũguo, ũmũthĩ na rũciũ o na oke no nginya ngorwo ngĩthiĩ o na mbere, nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ gũtirĩ mũnabii ũngĩkuĩra nja ya Jerusalemu!
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often have I desired to gather thy children together, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, and you refused.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Jerusalemu, Jerusalemu, wee ũragaga anabii, na ũkahũũra na mahiga nyuguto arĩa matũmĩtwo kũrĩ we, nĩ maita maingĩ atĩa ndanenda gũcookanĩrĩria ciana ciaku hamwe o ta ũrĩa ngũkũ ĩcookanagĩrĩria tũcui twayo mathagu-inĩ mayo, no ndũnjĩtĩkagĩria!
35 Behold, your house is deserted; and I say to you, You shall not see me till the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
Atĩrĩrĩ, nyũmba yaku ĩiyũrĩte ihooru. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũtikanyona rĩngĩ o nginya rĩrĩa mũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani.’”
