Matthew 15
1 Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,
Na rĩrĩ, thuutha ũcio Afarisai amwe na arutani a watho magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ moimĩte Jerusalemu, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ,
2 Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands.
“Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mathũkie kĩrĩra gĩa athuuri? Matiĩthambaga moko rĩrĩa mekũrĩa irio!”
3 And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Na inyuĩ mũthũkagia watho wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa irĩra cianyu nĩkĩ?
4 For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa’ na ‘Mũndũ wa kũruma ithe kana nyina no nginya ooragwo.’
5 But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;
No inyuĩ muugaga atĩ mũndũ angĩĩra ithe kana nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Ũteithio ũrĩa ingĩagũteithia naguo, nĩ kĩheo kĩamũrĩre Ngai,’
6 There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.
mũndũ ũcio ndarĩ bata wa ‘gũtĩĩa ithe’ naguo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũgagĩtua kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩa tũhũ nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra kĩanyu.
7 You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you,
Inyuĩ hinga ici! Isaia nĩamenyete wega hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarathire ũhoro wanyu, akiuga atĩrĩ:
8 These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
“‘Andũ aya maaheaga gĩtĩĩo na mĩromo, no ngoro ciao irĩ kũraya na niĩ.
9 But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
Nao maahooyaga o tũhũ; morutani marĩa marutanaga no mawatho ma andũ.’”
10 And he got the people together and said to them, Give ear, and let my words be clear to you:
Nake Jesũ agĩĩta kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩũke harĩ we, agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩriai na mũtaũkĩrwo.
11 Not that which goes into the mouth makes a man unclean, but that which comes out of the mouth.
Kĩrĩa gĩtoonyaga na kanua ka mũndũ ti kĩo ‘kĩmũthaahagia’, no kĩrĩa kiumaga kanua gake nĩkĩo ‘kĩmũthaahagia.’”
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo ake magĩthiĩ harĩ we, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũĩ atĩ Afarisai nĩmararakarire rĩrĩa maraiguire ũhoro ũcio?”
13 But he said in answer, Every plant which my Father in heaven has not put in the earth, will be taken up by the roots.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũmera o wothe ũtaahandĩtwo nĩ Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ nĩũkamunywo na mĩri.
14 Let them be: they are blind guides. And if a blind man is guiding a blind man, the two will go falling into a hole together.
Tiganai nao; acio nĩ atongoria atumumu. Mũtumumu angĩtongoria mũtumumu ũngĩ, eerĩ no kũgũa mangĩgũa irima.”
15 Then Peter said to him, Make the story clear to us.
Nake Petero akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtaũrĩre ngerekano ĩyo.”
16 And he said, Are you, like them, still without wisdom?
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ mũtirĩ mũrataũkĩrwo o na rĩu?
17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth goes on into the stomach, and is sent out as waste?
Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩtoonyaga na kanua gĩthiiaga nda, gĩgacooka gĩkoima mwĩrĩ?
18 But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart; and they make a man unclean.
No maũndũ marĩa moimaga kanua moimaga ngoro-inĩ, na nĩmo ‘mathaahagia’ mũndũ.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:
Nĩ ũndũ ngoro-inĩ nĩkuo kuumaga meciiria mooru, na ũragani, na ũtharia, na ũhũũri maraya, na ũici, na kũiganĩrĩra igenyo, na njambanio.
20 These are the things which make a man unclean; but to take food with unwashed hands does not make a man unclean.
Macio nĩmo maũndũ marĩa ‘mathaahagia’ mũndũ; no kũrĩa irio na moko matarĩ mathambie matingĩtũma mũndũ agĩe na ‘thaahu’.”
21 And Jesus went away from there into the country of Tyre and Sidon.
Ningĩ Jesũ akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ ndeere-inĩ cia Turo na Sidoni.
22 And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.
Mũndũ-wa-nja Mũkaanani woimĩte gũkuhĩ na kũu agĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩmũkayagĩra, akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, Mũrũ wa Daudi, njiguĩra tha! Mũirĩtu wakwa nĩarathĩĩnio mũno nĩ ndaimono.”
23 But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us.
No Jesũ ndarĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe oigire. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arutwo ake magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we makĩmũringĩrĩria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwĩre athiĩ, tondũ nĩaratũrũmĩrĩra agĩkayaga.”
24 But he made answer and said, I was sent only to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel.
Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndaatũmirwo o kũrĩ ngʼondu cia nyũmba ya Isiraeli iria ciũrĩte tu.”
25 But she came and gave him worship, saying, Help, Lord.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩũka, akĩmũturĩria ndu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ndeithia!”
26 And he made answer and said, It is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.
Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtiagĩrĩire kuoya mũgate wa ciana ũikĩrie ngui.”
27 But she said, Yes, Lord: but even the dogs take the bits from under their masters' table.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩguo Mwathani; no o na ngui nĩirĩĩaga rũitĩki rũrĩa rũgũaga kuuma metha-inĩ ya mwene cio.”
28 Then Jesus, answering, said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let your desire be done. And her daughter was made well from that hour.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, wĩtĩkio waku nĩ mũnene! Ihooya rĩaku nĩrĩahingio.” Nake mwarĩ akĩhonio ithaa o rĩu.
29 And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.
Jesũ akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ agereire hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩa Galili, agĩcooka akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ, agĩikara thĩ.
30 And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:
Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩgĩũka kũrĩ we, gĩkĩmũrehera andũ arĩa maathuaga, na atumumu, na arĩa maarĩ onju na arĩa mataaragia, na angĩ aingĩ, makĩmaiga magũrũ-inĩ make; nake akĩmahonia.
31 So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.
Nao andũ makĩgega rĩrĩa moonire arĩa mataaragia makĩaria, na arĩa onju mahonetio, na arĩa maathuaga magĩĩtwara, na atumumu makĩona. Nao makĩgooca Ngai wa Isiraeli.
32 And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey.
Nake Jesũ agĩĩta arutwo ake moke harĩ we, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩraiguĩra andũ aya tha tondũ makoretwo hamwe na niĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ, na matirĩ na kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa. Ndikwenda mathiĩ marĩ ahũtu, tondũ maahota kũringĩkĩra njĩra.”
33 And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?
Nao arutwo ake magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũngĩruta kũ mĩgate ya kũhũũnia kĩrĩndĩ ta gĩkĩ, gũkũ werũ-inĩ?”
34 And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria, atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩ na mĩgate ĩigana?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ na mĩgate mũgwanja, na tũthamaki tũnini tũtarĩ tũingĩ.”
35 Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth,
Nake akĩĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩikare thĩ.
36 And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.
Agĩcooka akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo mũgwanja na tũthamaki tũu, na aarĩkia gũcookia ngaatho-rĩ, akĩmĩenyũranga, akĩmĩnengera arutwo nao makĩhe andũ.
37 And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.
Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna. Thuutha ũcio arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo mũgwanja.
38 And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.
Mũigana wa andũ arĩa maarĩire maarĩ andũ ngiri inya, andũ-a-nja na ciana matatarĩtwo.
39 And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.
Jesũ aarĩkia kuugĩra kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro, agĩtoonya gatarũ, agĩthiĩ mwena wa Magadani.
