Matthew 15
1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, 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 elders? 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 answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Na inyuĩ mũthũkagia watho wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa irĩra cianyu nĩkĩ?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth 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 ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
No inyuĩ muugaga atĩ mũndũ angĩĩra ithe kana nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Ũteithio ũrĩa ingĩagũteithia naguo, nĩ kĩheo kĩamũrĩre Ngai,’
6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by 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 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Inyuĩ hinga ici! Isaia nĩamenyete wega hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarathire ũhoro wanyu, akiuga atĩrĩ:
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and 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 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
Nao maahooyaga o tũhũ; morutani marĩa marutanaga no mawatho ma andũ.’”
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, 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 that which 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 unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo ake magĩthiĩ harĩ we, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũĩ atĩ Afarisai nĩmararakarire rĩrĩa maraiguire ũhoro ũcio?”
13 But he answered and 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 be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Tiganai nao; acio nĩ atongoria atumumu. Mũtumumu angĩtongoria mũtumumu ũngĩ, eerĩ no kũgũa mangĩgũa irima.”
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
Nake Petero akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtaũrĩre ngerekano ĩyo.”
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ mũtirĩ mũrataũkĩrwo o na rĩu?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩtoonyaga na kanua gĩthiiaga nda, gĩgacooka gĩkoima mwĩrĩ?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
No maũndũ marĩa moimaga kanua moimaga ngoro-inĩ, na nĩmo ‘mathaahagia’ mũndũ.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, 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] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Macio nĩmo maũndũ marĩa ‘mathaahagia’ mũndũ; no kũrĩa irio na moko matarĩ mathambie matingĩtũma mũndũ agĩe na ‘thaahu’.”
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed 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 came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a 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 But he 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 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndaatũmirwo o kũrĩ ngʼondu cia nyũmba ya Isiraeli iria ciũrĩte tu.”
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩũka, akĩmũturĩria ndu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ndeithia!”
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.
Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtiagĩrĩire kuoya mũgate wa ciana ũikĩrie ngui.”
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
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 answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, wĩtĩkio waku nĩ mũnene! Ihooya rĩaku nĩrĩahingio.” Nake mwarĩ akĩhonio ithaa o rĩu.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
Jesũ akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ agereire hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩa Galili, agĩcooka akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ, agĩikara thĩ.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ 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 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to 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 Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing 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 his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, 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 saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And 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 on the ground.
Nake akĩĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩikare thĩ.
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
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 were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna. Thuutha ũcio arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo mũgwanja.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
Mũigana wa andũ arĩa maarĩire maarĩ andũ ngiri inya, andũ-a-nja na ciana matatarĩtwo.
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
Jesũ aarĩkia kuugĩra kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro, agĩtoonya gatarũ, agĩthiĩ mwena wa Magadani.
