Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn 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 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
Rĩrĩa Afarisai moonire ũguo, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora! Arutwo aku nĩmareeka ũrĩa watho ũtetĩkĩrĩtie gwĩkwo mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
3 But he said unto them, Have all of you not read what David did, when he was an hungered, 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 showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
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 all of you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
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 say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra hekarũ arĩ haha.
7 But if all of you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, all of you would not have condemned the guiltless.
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 day.
Nĩgũkorwo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩwe Mwathani wa mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
Oima kũu-rĩ, agĩthiĩ agĩtoonya thunagogi yao,
10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. 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 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wanyu ũngĩkorwo na ngʼondu, nayo ĩgwe irima mũthenya wa Thabatũ-rĩ, ũtangĩmĩruta irima?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Kaĩ mũndũ atakĩrĩ wa bata mũno gũkĩra ngʼondu! Nĩ ũndũ ũcio watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie gwĩka wega mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
13 Then says he to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like the other.
Agĩcooka akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku.” Nake agĩtambũrũkia guoko, nakuo gũgĩtuĩka kũgima, o ta kũu kũngĩ.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
No Afarisai makiuma nja, magĩcookania ndundu ya ũrĩa mangĩũragithia Jesũ.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Nake Jesũ aamenya ũhoro ũcio, akĩehera kũu. Andũ aingĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, nake akĩhonia arũaru ao othe,
16 And 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 Isaiah 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 is well pleased: I will put my spirit (pneuma) upon him, and he shall show 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 strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Ndĩgaatetania kana ĩgũũthũke; na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaigua mũgambo wayo njĩra-inĩ.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, 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 shall the Gentiles trust.
Thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩayo ndũrĩrĩ nĩikaagĩa na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.”
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both 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 people 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 when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out 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 knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; 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 shall then 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 cast out devils by the Spirit (pneuma) of God, then the kingdom of God has come unto you.
No niĩ ingĩkorwo nyiingataga ndaimono na Roho wa Ngai-rĩ, ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkinyĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil 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 gathers not with me scatters abroad.
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩ thũ yakwa, nake ũrĩa ũtacookanagĩrĩria hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩkũhurunja ahurunjaga.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall not be forgiven unto men.
Ningĩ ngũmwĩra atĩ, rĩĩhia o rĩothe o na kũruma Ngai, andũ no marekerwo, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaaruma Roho, ũcio ndakarekerwo.
32 And whosoever speaks a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither 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 his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
“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 all of you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
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 the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings 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 (rhema) that men shall speak, they shall give account (logos) thereof 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 your words (logos) you shall be justified, and by your words (logos) you shall be condemned.
Nĩgũkorwo ciugo ciaku nĩcio igaatũma ũtuuo ndũrĩ na mahĩtia, na ciugo ciaku no cio igaatũma ũtuuo mũhĩtia.”
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai amwe na arutani a watho makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, tũkwenda ũtũringĩre kĩama.”
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
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 three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
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 Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is 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 up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is 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 When the unclean spirit (pneuma) is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
“Na rĩrĩ, roho mũũru woima thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, ũtuĩkanagĩria werũ-inĩ ũgĩcaria ũhurũko, na ũkaaga.
44 Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he has come, he finds 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 goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits (pneuma) more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto 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 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ aaragĩria andũ-rĩ, nyina na ariũ a nyina makĩrũgama nja makĩenda kwaria nake.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brethren stand without, desiring to speak with you.
Nake mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marũngiĩ haha nja, makĩenda kwaria nawe.”
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ nũũ, na ariũ a maitũ nĩ a?”
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and 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 which is in heaven, the same 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.”
