Luke 9
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aarĩkia gwĩta arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ hamwe, nĩamaheire hinya na ũhoti wa kũingata ndaimono ciothe na kũhonia mĩrimũ,
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
na akĩmatũma mathiĩ makahunjie ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai na mahonagie andũ arĩa arũaru.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtigakuue kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩa rũgendo; mũtigakuue mũtirima, kana mũhuko, kana irio, kana mbeeca o na kana nguo tiga o iria mwĩhumbĩte.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
Nyũmba ĩrĩa yothe mũrĩtoonyaga ikaragai kuo nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima itũũra rĩu.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Andũ mangĩkaarega kũmũnyiita ũgeni-rĩ, mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu rũkũngũ rũitĩke mũkiuma itũũra rĩao arĩ ũira wa kũmatuĩra ciira.”
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara magĩthiĩ kuuma gatũũra kamwe nginya karĩa kangĩ makĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega na makĩhonagia andũ kũrĩa guothe maathiiaga.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Herode ũrĩa mũthamaki aiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ mothe marĩa maathiiaga na mbere, nĩataangĩkire ngoro mũno tondũ andũ amwe moigaga atĩ Johana nĩariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ,
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
na angĩ makoiga atĩ Elija nĩonekanĩte, o na angĩ makoiga atĩ mũnabii ũmwe wa arĩa a tene nĩariũkĩte.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
No Herode akiuga atĩrĩ, “Johana nĩndamũrengithirie mũtwe. Ũyũ ndĩraigua ũhoro wake-rĩ, nĩwe ũ?” Nake akĩĩrirĩria kũmuona.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
Nao atũmwo maacooka, makĩĩra Jesũ maũndũ marĩa mekĩte. Nake akĩehera kuo, agĩthiĩ nao itũũra rĩetagwo Bethisaida,
11 And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
no andũ aingĩ makĩmenya ũhoro ũcio na makĩmũrũmĩrĩra. Nake akĩmaamũkĩra na akĩmahe ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai, na akĩhonia arĩa maabatarĩtio nĩ kũhonio.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
Hwaĩ-inĩ arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ingata andũ aya nĩguo mathiĩ mĩciĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ hakuhĩ o na mĩgũnda-inĩ mageethe irio na gwa gũkoma, tondũ haha tũrĩ nĩ werũ ũtarĩ andũ.”
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Maheei kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.” Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ o na mĩgate ĩtano na thamaki igĩrĩ, no tũthiire tũkagũrĩre andũ aya othe irio.”
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
(Handũ hau haarĩ na arũme ta ngiri ithano.) Nowe akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Maikariei thĩ marĩ ikundi cia andũ mĩrongo ĩtano ĩtano.”
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
Nao arutwo magĩĩka o ũguo, magĩikaria andũ othe thĩ.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Nake akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo ĩtano na thamaki icio igĩrĩ, akĩrora na igũrũ, agĩcookia ngaatho na agĩcienyũranga. Agĩcooka agĩcinengera arutwo ake magaĩre andũ.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna, nao arutwo makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia cienyũ iria ciatigarire.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe Jesũ akĩhooya arĩ keheri-inĩ, arutwo ake magĩkorwo marĩ hamwe nake. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?”
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amwe moigaga nĩwe Johana Mũbatithania; angĩ makoiga nĩwe Elija; angĩ nao makoiga atĩ mũnabii ũmwe wa arĩa a tene nĩariũkĩte.”
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ na inyuĩ-rĩ, mugaga atĩa? Mugaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?” Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Kristũ ũrĩa wa Ngai.”
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing;
Nake Jesũ akĩmakaania na hinya, akĩmeera matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũhoro ũcio.
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ no nginya one mathĩĩna maingĩ, na aregwo nĩ athuuri, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, o na arutani a watho, na no nginya ooragwo na thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ ariũkio.”
23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Agĩcooka akĩmeera othe atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩenda kũnũmĩrĩra, no nginya eerege we mwene, na oyage mũtharaba wake o mũthenya, aanũmagĩrĩre.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe wendaga kũhonokia muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo, no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakaũhonokia.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Mũndũ angĩĩguna nakĩ angĩĩgwatĩra thĩ yothe, no ate muoyo wake kana orwo nĩguo?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels.
Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩconoka nĩ ũndũ wakwa na nĩ ũndũ wa ciugo ciakwa, o nake nĩagaconokerwo nĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ rĩrĩa agacooka arĩ na riiri wake, na riiri wa Ithe, o na wa araika arĩa atheru.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe a aya marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Mĩthenya ta ĩnana thuutha wa Jesũ kwaria ũhoro ũyũ nĩathiire na Petero, na Johana na Jakubu akĩambata nao kĩrĩma igũrũ makahooe.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [was] white [and] glistering.
Na rĩrĩa ahooyaga, mũhaanĩre wa ũthiũ wake ũkĩgarũrũka, nacio nguo ciake ikĩerũha igĩkenga o ta rũheni.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
Na rĩrĩ, andũ eerĩ, nĩo Musa na Elija,
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
makiumĩrĩra Jesũ marĩ na riiri mũnene makĩaria nake. Maaragia ũhoro wa gũkua gwake, kũrĩa aakirie kũhingia akinya Jerusalemu.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
Petero hamwe na arĩa maarĩ nake nĩmahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro, na rĩrĩa mookĩrire, makĩona riiri wake na andũ acio eerĩ maarũngiĩ hamwe nake.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
Na rĩrĩa andũ acio maatiganaga na Jesũ, Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ wega tũikare gũkũ. Reke twake ithũnũ ithatũ, kĩmwe gĩaku, na kĩmwe kĩa Musa, na kĩmwe kĩa Elija.” (Nowe ndaamenyaga ũrĩa oigaga.)
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
Na o akĩaragia-rĩ, itu rĩkiumĩra na rĩkĩmahumbĩra, nao magĩĩtigĩra mũno nĩ kũhumbĩrwo nĩ itu rĩu.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Mũgambo ũkiuma itu-inĩ rĩu, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa ndĩĩthuurĩire; mũiguagei.”
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
Thuutha wa mũgambo ũcio kũiguĩka, makĩona atĩ Jesũ aarĩ wiki. Nao arutwo magĩkira ki na ũhoro ũcio, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe meerire matukũ-inĩ macio maũndũ marĩa moonete.
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, maikũrũka kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, Jesũ agĩtũngwo nĩ andũ aingĩ.
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ warĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ndagũthaitha ũrore mũriũ wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwana wakwa wa mũmwe.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
na ngoma thũku nĩĩmũnyiitaga na agakaya o rĩmwe; ningĩ ĩkamũrũnda na ĩkamũthiorania, ĩgatũma arute mũhũyũ na kanua. Ndĩmũrekagia o na hanini, na nĩĩramwananga.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
Ndĩrathaithire arutwo aku maingate ngoma ĩyo, no mararemwo.”
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rũciaro rũrũ rũtetĩkagia na rũremi, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũikara hamwe na inyuĩ, na ngũmũkirĩrĩria nginya rĩ? Rehe mũrũguo haha.”
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
Rĩrĩa kamwana kau gaathiiaga harĩ Jesũ, ndaimono ĩyo ĩgĩgatungumania thĩ, na ĩgĩgathiorania. No Jesũ agĩkũũma roho ũcio mũũru, akĩhonia kamwana kau, agĩgacookeria ithe.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
Nao othe makĩgegio nĩ ũnene wa Ngai. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe maagegetio nĩ ũrĩa wothe Jesũ eekĩte, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
“Thikĩrĩriai wega ũrĩa ngũmwĩra: Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũkunyanĩrwo aneanwo moko-inĩ ma andũ.”
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
No-o matiamenyire ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩa. Nĩmahithĩtwo ũhoro ũcio, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩaga kũũmenya, na magĩĩtigĩra kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
Na gũkĩgĩa na ngarari gatagatĩ ka arutwo makĩũrania nũũ wao ũngĩtuĩka mũnene kũrĩ arĩa angĩ.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
Nake Jesũ, tondũ nĩamenyaga meciiria mao, akĩoya kaana kanini agĩkarũgamia hakuhĩ nake.
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe wamũkagĩra kaana gaka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩ niĩ aamũkagĩra; na ũrĩa ũnyamũkagĩra ti niĩ aamũkagĩra, no nĩ ũrĩa wandũmire. Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa mũnini gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu inyuothe, ũcio nĩwe mũnene kũmũkĩra.”
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
Nake Johana akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi, nĩtũronire mũndũ akĩingata ndaimono na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na ithuĩ tũrageria kũmũgiria tondũ ti ũmwe witũ.”
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against us is for us.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũgirie, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũthũ na inyuĩ, ũcio nĩ ũmwe wanyu.”
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Na rĩrĩ, kahinda gake gaakuhĩrĩria ga kwambata matu-inĩ, Jesũ nĩatuire itua rĩa gũthiĩ Jerusalemu.
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
Nake agĩtũma andũ mathiĩ mbere yake kũhaarĩria maũndũ nĩ ũndũ wake, magĩthiĩ magĩtoonya gatũũra kamwe ga Samaria;
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
no andũ a kũu matiamũnyiitire ũgeni, tondũ aathiiaga Jerusalemu.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
Rĩrĩa arutwo ake, Jakubu na Johana monire ũguo makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩũkwenda twĩtie mwaki uume igũrũ ũmaniine?”
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
Nowe Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra akĩmakaania,
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.
nao magĩthiĩ gatũũra kangĩ.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Rĩrĩa maathiiaga na njĩra, mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩkũrũmagĩrĩra kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga.”
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mbwe nĩ irĩ marima na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ nĩ irĩ itara, no rĩrĩ, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ ndarĩ handũ angĩigĩrĩra mũtwe wake.”
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Akĩĩra mũndũ ũngĩ atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra.” No mũndũ ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, reke nyambe thiĩ ngathike baba.”
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke arĩa akuũ mathikage akuũ ao ene, no wee thiĩ ũkahunjie ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
Na mũndũ ũngĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, niĩ nĩngũkũrũmĩrĩra, no reke nyambe thiĩ ngoigĩre andũ aitũ ũhoro.”
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũnyiitaga mũraũ na guoko gwake na agacooka kũrora na thuutha wagĩrĩire gũtungata ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
