Matthew 15
1 Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:
Na rĩrĩ, thuutha ũcio Afarisai amwe na arutani a watho magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ moimĩte Jerusalemu, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
“Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mathũkie kĩrĩra gĩa athuuri? Matiĩthambaga moko rĩrĩa mekũrĩa irio!”
3 But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Na inyuĩ mũthũkagia watho wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa irĩra cianyu nĩkĩ?
4 Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa’ na ‘Mũndũ wa kũruma ithe kana nyina no nginya ooragwo.’
5 But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.
No inyuĩ muugaga atĩ mũndũ angĩĩra ithe kana nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Ũteithio ũrĩa ingĩagũteithia naguo, nĩ kĩheo kĩamũrĩre Ngai,’
6 And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.
mũndũ ũcio ndarĩ bata wa ‘gũtĩĩa ithe’ naguo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũgagĩtua kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩa tũhũ nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra kĩanyu.
7 Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:
Inyuĩ hinga ici! Isaia nĩamenyete wega hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarathire ũhoro wanyu, akiuga atĩrĩ:
8 This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.
“‘Andũ aya maaheaga gĩtĩĩo na mĩromo, no ngoro ciao irĩ kũraya na niĩ.
9 And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
Nao maahooyaga o tũhũ; morutani marĩa marutanaga no mawatho ma andũ.’”
10 And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.
Nake Jesũ agĩĩta kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩũke harĩ we, agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩriai na mũtaũkĩrwo.
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Kĩrĩa gĩtoonyaga na kanua ka mũndũ ti kĩo ‘kĩmũthaahagia’, no kĩrĩa kiumaga kanua gake nĩkĩo ‘kĩmũthaahagia.’”
12 Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo ake magĩthiĩ harĩ we, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũĩ atĩ Afarisai nĩmararakarire rĩrĩa maraiguire ũhoro ũcio?”
13 But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũmera o wothe ũtaahandĩtwo nĩ Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ nĩũkamunywo na mĩri.
14 Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
Tiganai nao; acio nĩ atongoria atumumu. Mũtumumu angĩtongoria mũtumumu ũngĩ, eerĩ no kũgũa mangĩgũa irima.”
15 And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
Nake Petero akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtaũrĩre ngerekano ĩyo.”
16 But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ mũtirĩ mũrataũkĩrwo o na rĩu?
17 Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?
Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩtoonyaga na kanua gĩthiiaga nda, gĩgacooka gĩkoima mwĩrĩ?
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.
No maũndũ marĩa moimaga kanua moimaga ngoro-inĩ, na nĩmo ‘mathaahagia’ mũndũ.
19 For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
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 that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
Macio nĩmo maũndũ marĩa ‘mathaahagia’ mũndũ; no kũrĩa irio na moko matarĩ mathambie matingĩtũma mũndũ agĩe na ‘thaahu’.”
21 And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
Ningĩ Jesũ akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ ndeere-inĩ cia Turo na Sidoni.
22 And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil.
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 Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth 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 And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost 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 adored him, saying: Lord, help me.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩũka, akĩmũturĩria ndu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ndeithia!”
26 Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.
Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtiagĩrĩire kuoya mũgate wa ciana ũikĩrie ngui.”
27 But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.
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 thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, wĩtĩkio waku nĩ mũnene! Ihooya rĩaku nĩrĩahingio.” Nake mwarĩ akĩhonio ithaa o rĩu.
29 And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat 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 multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:
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 multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: and they glorified 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 called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
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 unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?
Nao arutwo ake magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũngĩruta kũ mĩgate ya kũhũũnia kĩrĩndĩ ta gĩkĩ, gũkũ werũ-inĩ?”
34 And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria, atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩ na mĩgate ĩigana?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ na mĩgate mũgwanja, na tũthamaki tũnini tũtarĩ tũingĩ.”
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.
Nake akĩĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩikare thĩ.
36 And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples 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 did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.
Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna. Thuutha ũcio arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo mũgwanja.
38 And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.
Mũigana wa andũ arĩa maarĩire maarĩ andũ ngiri inya, andũ-a-nja na ciana matatarĩtwo.
39 And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.
Jesũ aarĩkia kuugĩra kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro, agĩtoonya gatarũ, agĩthiĩ mwena wa Magadani.
