Matthew 9
1 And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.
Nake agĩtoonya gatarũ, akĩringa iria, agĩkinya itũũra rĩa kwao.
2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.
Andũ amwe makĩmũrehera mũndũ warĩ na mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, akuuĩtwo na kĩbarĩ. Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ, wĩyũmĩrĩrie, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
3 And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, arutani amwe a watho makĩĩra na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaruma Ngai!”
4 And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts?
Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meeciiragia, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũreciiria ũũru ngoro-inĩ cianyu nĩkĩ?
5 For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mũhũthũ: nĩ kwĩra mũndũ, ‘Nĩwarekerwo mehia maku,’ kana kũmwĩra, ‘Ũkĩra wĩtware?’
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic, ) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.
No nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ arĩ na ũhoti gũkũ thĩ wa kũrekanĩra mehia-rĩ ….” Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku ũinũke mũciĩ.”
7 And he rose up and went to his house.
Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩũkĩra, akĩinũka mũciĩ.
8 But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.
Rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩonire ũguo, gĩkĩmaka na gĩkĩgooca Ngai, ũrĩa waheete andũ ũhoti ta ũcio.
9 And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimaga kũu, akĩona mũndũ wetagwo Mathayo aikarĩte harĩa heetagĩrio mbeeca cia igooti. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra,” nake Mathayo agĩũkĩra, akĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
10 And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩ kwa Mathayo mũciĩ makĩrĩa irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, etia mbeeca cia igooti aingĩ na andũ ehia magĩũka kũrĩanĩra hamwe nake na arutwo ake.
11 And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
Rĩrĩa Afarisai moonire ũguo, makĩũria arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani wanyu arĩĩanagĩra na etia mbeeca cia igooti na andũ ehia nĩkĩ?”
12 But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
Jesũ aigua ũguo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa agima mĩĩrĩ ti o mabataragio nĩ ndagĩtarĩ, no nĩ arĩa arũaru.
13 But go and learn what [that] is — I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.
No rĩrĩ, thiĩi mũkeerute ũrĩa ciugo ici ciugĩte: ‘Kũiguanĩra tha nĩkuo nyendaga, no ti magongona.’ Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndiokire gũcaria arĩa athingu, no ndokire nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa ehia.”
14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo a Johana magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ na Afarisai nĩtwĩhingaga kũrĩa, no nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mage kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio?”
15 And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ageni a mũhikania mangĩhota atĩa kũigua kĩeha rĩrĩa mũhikania arĩ hamwe nao? Ihinda nĩrĩgakinya rĩrĩa mũhikania akeeherio kũrĩ o; hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo makeehinga kũrĩa irio.
16 But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtumagĩrĩra nguo ngũrũ kĩraka kĩa nguo njerũ, nĩgũkorwo kĩraka kĩu no kĩguucie nguo ĩyo gĩtũme ĩtarũke makĩria.
17 Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
Ningĩ andũ matiĩkagĩra ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ ngũrũ. Mangĩĩka ũguo, mondo icio no itarũke, nayo ndibei ĩitĩke, na mondo icio cia ndibei cianangĩke o biũ. No andũ mekagĩra ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ njerũ, nacio cierĩ igaikara irĩ njega.”
18 As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.
Na rĩrĩa aaragia maũndũ macio, hagĩũka mũndũ warĩ mũnene, akĩmũturĩria ndu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu wakwa no hĩndĩ aakua; no ũka ũkamũigĩrĩre guoko, na nĩekũriũka.”
19 And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
Nake Jesũ agĩũkĩra, agĩthiĩ nake, arĩ na arutwo ake.
20 And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;
O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtumia watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ agĩũka na thuutha wa Jesũ, akĩhutia gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake.
21 for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.
Tondũ eĩĩraga atĩrĩ, “Ingĩhutia o nguo yake, no hone.”
22 But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra, akĩmuona, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩyũmĩrĩrie gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone.” Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩhonio o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
23 And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire nyũmba ya mũnene ũcio, akĩona ahuhi mĩtũrirũ na gĩkundi kĩa andũ kĩrĩa kĩanegenaga,
24 he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Eherai. Mũirĩtũ ũyũ ti mũkuũ, nĩ gũkoma akomete.” Nao andũ acio makĩmũthekerera.
25 But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
Thuutha wa andũ acio kuumio nja, agĩtoonya thĩinĩ, akĩnyiita mũirĩtu ũcio guoko, nake agĩũkĩra.
26 And the fame of it went out into all that land.
Ũhoro ũcio ũkĩhunja bũrũri ũcio wothe.
27 And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire kũu, aathianga-rĩ, andũ eerĩ atumumu makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, makĩanagĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Tũiguĩre tha, wee Mũrũ wa Daudi!”
28 And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aatoonyire nyũmba, atumumu acio magĩũka kũrĩ we, nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ no hote gwĩka ũguo?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ-ni, Mwathani.”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmahutia maitho, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũroĩkwo o ũguo mwĩtĩkĩtie;”
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.
namo maitho mao makĩhingũka magĩcooka kuona. Nake Jesũ akĩmakaania na hinya, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye ũhoro ũyũ.”
31 But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.
No-o makiumagara na makĩhunjia ũhoro wake bũrũri ũcio wothe.
32 But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moimaga hau, Jesũ akĩreherwo mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono, na ndaaragia.
33 And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.
Nayo ndaimono yaingatwo, mũndũ ũcio ũtaaragia, akĩaria. Kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩgega, gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ta ũyũ ndũrĩ woneka Isiraeli.”
34 But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
No Afarisai makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aingataga ndaimono na hinya wa mũnene wa ndaimono.”
35 And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.
Nake Jesũ agĩtuĩkania matũũra-inĩ mothe na mĩciĩ-inĩ yothe, akĩrutanaga thĩinĩ wa thunagogi ciao, akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũthamaki, na akĩhonagia mĩrimũ na ndwari cia mĩthemba yothe.
36 But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.
Na rĩrĩa oonire ũrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩaiganaga, agĩkĩiguĩra tha tondũ kĩarĩ gĩthĩĩnĩku na gĩkaaga ũteithio, ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi.
37 Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Magetha nĩ maingĩ, no aruti a wĩra nĩ anini.
38 supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, hooyai Mwathani wa magetha atũme aruti wĩra mathiĩ magetha-inĩ make.”
