Matthew 19
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these discourses, that he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan.
Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aarĩkia kũmeera maũndũ macio-rĩ, akiuma Galili, agĩthiĩ rũgongo rwa Judea mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.
2 And many multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.
Nao andũ aingĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, nake akĩmahoneria kuo.
3 And the Pharisees came to him to tempt him, and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Na Afarisai amwe magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we nĩguo mamũgerie. Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie mũndũ atigane na mũtumia wake nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi o na kĩrĩkũ?”
4 He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female,
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete, atĩ o kĩambĩrĩria Mũũmbi ‘ombire mũndũ-mũrũme na mũndũ-wa-nja’,
5 and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
na akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu mũndũ mũrũme nĩagatigana na ithe na nyina, na anyiitane na mũtumia wake, nao eerĩ matuĩke mwĩrĩ ũmwe’?
6 So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, acio ti andũ eerĩ rĩngĩ, no nĩ mũndũ ũmwe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arĩa Ngai anyiitithanĩtie, mũndũ ndakanamatigithanie.”
7 They said to him: Why, then, did Moses command us to give a bill of divorce and put her away?
Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire Musa aathane atĩ mũndũ no ahe mũtumia wake marũa ma gũtigana nake, amũte?”
8 He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Musa aamwĩtĩkĩririe mũtiganage na atumia anyu tondũ wa ũmũ wa ngoro cianyu. No gũtiarĩ ũguo kuuma kĩambĩrĩria.
9 But I say to you, That whoever puts away his wife, unless for lewdness, and marries another, commits adultery; and he that marries her that is put away, commits adultery.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe angĩtigana na mũtumia wake, tiga amũteire nĩ ũndũ wa ũtharia, nake ahikie mũtumia ũngĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩatharĩtie.”
10 His disciples said to him: If the relation of man and wife be such, it is not good to marry.
Nao arutwo makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo kũrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũthuuri na mũtumia-rĩ, nĩ kaba kwaga kũhikania.”
11 But he said to them: All can not accept this saying; only those to whom it is given.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhota gwĩtĩkĩra ũhoro ũyũ, tiga no arĩa maheetwo ũhoti ũcio.
12 For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs that have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it that is able to accept it.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe maaciarirwo mahaana ta marĩ ahakũre; angĩ maahakũrirwo nĩ andũ; na angĩ makarega kũhikania nĩ ũndũ wa ũthamaki wa igũrũ. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhota gwĩtĩkĩra ũndũ ũyũ, nĩawĩtĩkĩre.”
13 Then little children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩreherwo twana nĩguo atũigĩrĩre moko na atũhooere. No arutwo magĩkũũma arĩa maatũrehete.
14 But Jesus said: Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Nowe Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rekei twana tũũke kũrĩ niĩ, tigai gũtũgiria, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Igũrũ nĩ wa arĩa mahaana ta tuo.”
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed from that place.
Aarĩkia gũtũigĩrĩra moko, akiuma kũu.
16 And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him: (aiōnios g166)
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe nĩokire kũrĩ Jesũ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mwega ingĩĩka nĩgeetha ngĩe na muoyo wa tene na tene?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is God. But if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũkũnjũũria ũhoro wa ũndũ ũrĩa mwega nĩkĩ? Kũrĩ o Ũmwe mwega. Ũngĩenda gũtoonya muoyo-inĩ-rĩ, athĩkagĩra maathani.”
18 He said to him: Which? Jesus replied: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony;
Mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maathani marĩkũ?” Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “‘Ndũkanoragane, na ndũkanatharanie, na ndũkanaiye, na ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo,
19 Honor your father and your mother; and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
na tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa,’ o na ‘endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene.’”
20 The young man said to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what do I lack?
Mwanake ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ macio mothe ndũire ndĩmarũmĩtie, nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩ ndigairie?”
21 Jesus said to him: If you would be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩenda kwagĩrĩra kũna, thiĩ wendie indo ciaku ũhe athĩĩni mbeeca icio, na nĩũkagĩa na mũthiithũ igũrũ. Ũcooke ũũke ũnũmĩrĩre.”
22 When the young man heard that saying, he went away grieved; for he had great possessions.
Rĩrĩa mwanake ũcio aiguire ũguo-rĩ, agĩthiĩ arĩ na kĩeha, tondũ aarĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ.
23 Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, A rich man will with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Nake Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ.
24 And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
O rĩngĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, nĩ ũhũthũ ngamĩĩra ĩhungurĩre irima rĩa cindano, gũkĩra gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were greatly amazed, and said: Who, then, can be saved?
Rĩrĩa arutwo maiguire ũguo-rĩ, makĩmaka mũno, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩkĩhonoka?”
26 But Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible.
Nake Jesũ akĩmarora akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio ndũngĩhoteka nĩ andũ, no maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga nĩ Ngai.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?
Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ nĩtũtigĩte maũndũ mothe, tũgakũrũmĩrĩra! Ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ tũkaaheo?”
28 Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, That, in the restoration, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene kĩrĩ riiri, thĩinĩ wa thĩ njerũ, inyuĩ arĩa mũnũmagĩrĩra nĩ inyuĩ mũgaikarĩra itĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia ũnene, na nĩmũgatuĩra mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli ciira.
29 And every one that has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Na ũrĩa wothe ũtigĩte nyũmba, kana ariũ a nyina, kana aarĩ a nyina, kana ithe, kana nyina, kana ciana, kana mĩgũnda nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakamũkĩra maita igana ma iria atigĩte, na agae muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
No rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ arĩa marĩ mbere nĩo makaarigia thuutha, na aingĩ arĩa marĩ thuutha nĩo magaatongoria.
