Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat.
Ihinda rĩu Jesũ nĩatuĩkanĩirie mĩgũnda-inĩ ya ngano mũthenya wa Thabatũ, na arutwo ake maarĩ ahũtu, na makĩambĩrĩria gũtua ngira cia ngano, magĩcirigitha, makĩrĩa ngano.
2 And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days.
Rĩrĩa Afarisai moonire ũguo, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora! Arutwo aku nĩmareeka ũrĩa watho ũtetĩkĩrĩtie gwĩkwo mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
3 But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him:
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete ũrĩa Daudi eekire rĩrĩa we na arĩa maarĩ nake maarĩ ahũtu?
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only?
Aatoonyire nyũmba ya Ngai, na arĩ hamwe na arĩa maarĩ nake, makĩrĩa mĩgate ĩrĩa yamũrĩirwo Ngai ĩrĩa mateetĩkĩrĩtio kũrĩa nĩ watho, tiga no athĩnjĩri-Ngai meetĩkĩrĩtio kũmĩrĩa.
5 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame?
O na ningĩ kaĩ mũthomete Watho-inĩ atĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ nĩmathaahagia mũthenya ũcio na matituagwo ahĩtia?
6 But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra hekarũ arĩ haha.
7 And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.
Korwo nĩmwamenyete gĩtũmi gĩa ciugo ici, atĩrĩ, ‘Kũiguanĩra tha nĩkuo nyendaga, no ti magongona,’ mũtingĩatuĩrĩire andũ mateehĩtie mahĩtia.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
Nĩgũkorwo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩwe Mwathani wa mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
9 And when he has passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.
Oima kũu-rĩ, agĩthiĩ agĩtoonya thunagogi yao,
10 And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
na nĩ haarĩ mũndũ wonjete guoko. Na tondũ nĩmacaragia gĩtũmi gĩa gũthitangĩra Jesũ-rĩ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie kũhonania mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
11 But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up?
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wanyu ũngĩkorwo na ngʼondu, nayo ĩgwe irima mũthenya wa Thabatũ-rĩ, ũtangĩmĩruta irima?
12 How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days.
Kaĩ mũndũ atakĩrĩ wa bata mũno gũkĩra ngʼondu! Nĩ ũndũ ũcio watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie gwĩka wega mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
13 Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.
Agĩcooka akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku.” Nake agĩtambũrũkia guoko, nakuo gũgĩtuĩka kũgima, o ta kũu kũngĩ.
14 And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him.
No Afarisai makiuma nja, magĩcookania ndundu ya ũrĩa mangĩũragithia Jesũ.
15 But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all.
Nake Jesũ aamenya ũhoro ũcio, akĩehera kũu. Andũ aingĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, nake akĩhonia arũaru ao othe,
16 And he charged them that they should not make him known.
agĩcooka akĩmakaania atĩ matikoige we nĩwe ũ.
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying:
Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo wahingirie ũhoro ũrĩa waarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii Isaia, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ:
18 Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
“Ĩno nĩyo ndungata yakwa ĩrĩa ndĩĩthuurĩire, ĩrĩa nyendete, na nĩyo ĩkenagia ngoro yakwa; nĩngamĩitĩrĩria Roho wakwa, nayo nĩĩkamenyithia ndũrĩrĩ ciira wa kĩhooto.
19 He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Ndĩgaatetania kana ĩgũũthũke; na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaigua mũgambo wayo njĩra-inĩ.
20 The bruised reed he shall not break: and smoking flax he shall not extinguish: till he send forth judgment unto victory.
ndĩkoina kamũrangi kagondoku, kana ĩhorie rũtambĩ rũrĩa rũgũtooga, nginya rĩrĩa ĩgaatũma itua rĩakwa rĩhootane.
21 And in his name the Gentiles shall hope.
Thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩayo ndũrĩrĩ nĩikaagĩa na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.”
22 Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw.
Magĩcooka makĩmũrehera mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono, na aarĩ mũtumumu, na ndaaragia, nake Jesũ akĩmũhonia, akĩhota kwaria na kuona.
23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?
Andũ othe makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ no akorwo arĩ we Mũrũ wa Daudi?”
24 But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casteth not out the devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
No rĩrĩa Afarisai maaiguire ũguo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aingataga ndaimono na hinya wa Beelizebuli ũrĩa mũnene wa ndaimono.”
25 And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
Nake Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meciiragia, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki o wothe ũngĩgayũkana ũũkanĩrĩre guo mwene no ũharagane, narĩo itũũra o rĩothe kana nyũmba ĩngĩgayũkana ndĩngĩĩhaanda.
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand?
Angĩkorwo Shaitani nĩwe ũingataga Shaitani-rĩ, nĩagayũkanĩte we mwene. Ũthamaki wake ũngĩkĩĩhaanda atĩa?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
Na angĩkorwo niĩ nyiingataga ndaimono na hinya wa Beelizebuli-rĩ, nao andũ anyu maingataga ndaimono na hinya wa ũ? Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, acio nĩo makaamũtuĩra ciira.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
No niĩ ingĩkorwo nyiingataga ndaimono na Roho wa Ngai-rĩ, ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkinyĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.
29 Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house.
“Ningĩ-rĩ, mũndũ aahota atĩa gũtoonya nyũmba ya mũndũ njamba na amũtunye indo ciake ataambĩte kuoha mũndũ ũcio njamba? Hĩndĩ ĩyo no rĩo angĩhota kũmũtunya indo cia nyũmba yake.
30 He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩ thũ yakwa, nake ũrĩa ũtacookanagĩrĩria hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩkũhurunja ahurunjaga.
31 Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
Ningĩ ngũmwĩra atĩ, rĩĩhia o rĩothe o na kũruma Ngai, andũ no marekerwo, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaaruma Roho, ũcio ndakarekerwo.
32 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. (aiōn g165)
Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũgacaambia Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakarekerwo, no ũrĩa wothe ũgaacambia Roho Mũtheru, ũcio ndakaarekerwo, ihinda rĩrĩ tũrĩ kana ihinda rĩrĩa rĩgooka. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known.
“Agĩriai mũtĩ na maciaro maguo nĩmekwagĩra, kana mũthũkie mũtĩ na mũthũkie maciaro maguo mooru, nĩgũkorwo mũtĩ ũmenyekaga na maciaro maguo.
34 O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwa nduĩra, mwahota atĩa kwaria maũndũ mega, na mũrĩ ooru? Nĩgũkorwo kanua kaaragia maũndũ marĩa maiyũrĩte ngoro-inĩ.
35 A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Mũndũ mwega aaragia maũndũ mega moimĩte mũthiithũ-inĩ wake mwega, nake mũndũ mũũru aaragia maũndũ mooru moimĩte mũthiithũ-inĩ wake mũũru.
36 But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment.
No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũthenya wa itua rĩa ciira, andũ nĩmakaheana ũhoro wa ciugo ciothe cia tũhũ iria manaaria.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Nĩgũkorwo ciugo ciaku nĩcio igaatũma ũtuuo ndũrĩ na mahĩtia, na ciugo ciaku no cio igaatũma ũtuuo mũhĩtia.”
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master we would see a sign from thee.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai amwe na arutani a watho makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, tũkwenda ũtũringĩre kĩama.”
39 Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rũciaro rwaganu na rwa ũtharia rũrenda rũringĩrwo kĩama! No gũtirĩ kĩama rũkũringĩrwo tiga o kĩama kĩrĩa kĩa mũnabii Jona.
40 For as Jonas was in the whale’s belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Nĩ gũkorwo o ta ũrĩa Jona aikarire matukũ matatũ, mũthenya na ũtukũ, arĩ nda ya thamaki ĩrĩa nene, ũguo noguo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agaikara matukũ matatũ, mũthenya na ũtukũ, arĩ tĩĩri-inĩ.
41 The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here.
Andũ a Nineve nĩmakarũgama hĩndĩ ya ciira hamwe na rũciaro rũrũ marũtuĩre ciira; nĩgũkorwo nĩmeririre rĩrĩa maahunjĩirio nĩ Jona, na rĩu ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra Jona arĩ haha.
42 The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here.
Mũthamaki mũndũ-wa-nja wa mwena wa Gũthini nĩakarũgama hĩndĩ ya ciira hamwe na rũciaro rũrũ arũtuĩre ciira; nĩgũkorwo nĩoimire ituri cia thĩ oke athikĩrĩrie ũũgĩ wa Solomoni, na rĩu ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra Solomoni arĩ haha.
43 And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none.
“Na rĩrĩ, roho mũũru woima thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, ũtuĩkanagĩria werũ-inĩ ũgĩcaria ũhurũko, na ũkaaga.
44 Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũcooka nyũmba ĩrĩa ndoimire.’ Na wacooka-rĩ, ũgakora nyũmba ĩyo ĩrĩ theri, ĩrĩ haate, ĩgathera na ĩgathondekwo wega.
45 Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo roho ũcio ũkagĩĩra maroho mangĩ mũgwanja mooru makĩria maguo mwene, magatoonya magaikara kũu. Naguo mũikarĩre wa mũndũ ũcio ũgathũka gũkĩra wa mbere. Ũguo nĩguo gũkahaana kũrĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu.”
46 As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ aaragĩria andũ-rĩ, nyina na ariũ a nyina makĩrũgama nja makĩenda kwaria nake.
47 And one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee.
Nake mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marũngiĩ haha nja, makĩenda kwaria nawe.”
48 But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ nũũ, na ariũ a maitũ nĩ a?”
49 And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren.
Agĩcooka akĩorota arutwo ake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩo maitũ na ariũ a maitũ.
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ wothe wĩkaga ũrĩa Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ endaga, ũcio nĩwe mũrũ na mwarĩ wa maitũ, na nĩ we maitũ.”
