< Luke 8 >
1 Afterward he traveled through cities and villages, proclaiming the joyful tidings of the Reign of God, being attended by the twelve,
Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa ũguo, Jesũ agĩthiĩ matũũra-inĩ o na tũtũũra-inĩ akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũthamaki wa Ngai. Arutwo ake arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ maarĩ hamwe nake,
2 and by certain women, who had been delivered from evil spirits and distempers; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons;
o na atumia amwe a arĩa maarutĩtwo ngoma thũku na arĩa maahonetio mĩrimũ: nao nĩ Mariamu (ũrĩa wetagwo Mũmagidali), nĩwe warutĩtwo ndaimono mũgwanja;
3 Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna, and several others, who assisted him with their property.
na Joana mũtumia wa Husa, ũrĩa warĩ mũrori wa indo cia Herode; na Susana; na angĩ aingĩ. Atumia aya nĩmamũtungatagĩra na indo ciao ene.
4 Now, when a great multitude was assembled, and the people were flocking to him, out of the cities, he spoke by a parable.
Andũ aingĩ nĩmathiire na mbere kũngana harĩ Jesũ moimĩte matũũra-inĩ, na rĩrĩa andũ maingĩhire mũno akĩmahe ũhoro na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
5 The sower went out to sow his grain: and in sowing, part fell by the way-side, and was crushed under foot, or picked up by the birds;
Mũrĩmi nĩoimagarire akahure mbeũ ciake. Na rĩrĩa aahuraga mbeũ icio, imwe ikĩgũa mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra; ikĩrangĩrĩrio na magũrũ, nacio nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ igĩũka igĩcirĩa.
6 part fell upon a rock, and when it was sprung up, withered away for want to moisture;
Ingĩ ikĩgũa rũnyanjara-inĩ, na rĩrĩa ciamerire, mĩmera ĩyo ĩkĩhooha tondũ wa kwaga ũigũ.
7 part of it also fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it;
Nacio mbeũ ingĩ ikĩgũa mĩigua-inĩ, nayo mĩigua ĩgĩkũranĩra nacio na ĩgĩcithararia.
8 and part fell into good soil, and sprung up, and yielded increase, a hundred fold. Having said this, he cried, Whosoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mbeũ ingĩ nacio ikĩgũa tĩĩri-inĩ mũnoru. Igĩkũra, igĩciara maita igana ma iria ciahaandĩtwo. Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ũrĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩaigue.”
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What does this parable mean?
Nao arutwo ake makĩmũũria ũrĩa ngerekano ĩyo yoigaga.
10 He answered, It is your privilege to know the secrets of the Reign of God, which, to others, are couched in parables; that, though they look, they may not perceive; that though they hear, they may not understand.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩmũheetwo ũmenyo wa kũmenya hitho cia ũthamaki wa Ngai, no arĩa angĩ ndĩmaaragĩria na ngerekano, nĩgeetha, “‘maarora, makaaga kuona; na maigua, makaaga gũtaũkĩrwo.’
11 Now, this is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
“Ngerekano ĩyo yugĩte atĩrĩ: Mbeũ icio nĩ ũhoro wa Ngai.
12 By the wayside are meant those hearers out of whose hearts the devil coming, takes away the word, these they should believe, and be saved.
Mbeũ iria ciagũire mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro wa Ngai, nake mũcukani agooka akeheria ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ ciao, nĩguo matigetĩkie mahonoke.
13 By the rock are meant those, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; yet not having it rooted in them, are but temporary believers; for in the time of trial they fall off.
Nacio iria ciagũire rũnyanjara-inĩ nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro wa Ngai, na makawamũkĩra na gĩkeno, no makaaga mĩri. Metĩkagia o gwa kahinda kanini, no magerio moka makaũtiganĩria.
14 By the ground incumbered with thorns, are meant those hearers who are entangled in the business, and pursuits, and pleasures of life; which stifle the word, so that it brings no fruit to maturity.
Mbeũ iria ciagũire mĩigua-inĩ nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro, no o magĩthiiaga-rĩ, magatharario nĩ mĩhangʼo, na ũtonga, na mĩago, nao makaaga gũkũra.
15 But by the good soil are meant those, who, having heard the word, retain it in a good and honest heart, and persevere in bringing forth fruit.
No rĩrĩ, mbeũ iria ciagũire tĩĩri-inĩ ũrĩa mũnoru nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro marĩ na ngoro ya ma na njega, makaũtũũria, na nĩ ũndũ wa gũkirĩrĩria, magaciaraga maciaro.
16 A lamp is never lighted to be covered with a vessel, or put under a bed; but to be set on a stand, that they who enter may see the light.
“Na rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgwatagia tawa akaũkunĩkĩria na irebe, kana akaũiga rungu rwa ũrĩrĩ. No aũigaga handũ igũrũ, nĩguo andũ arĩa megũtoonya nyũmba mathererwo nĩ ũtheri.
17 For there is no secret which shall not be discovered; nor anything concealed which shall not be known, and become public.
Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithe ũtakaguũrio, na gũtirĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hitho-inĩ ũtakamenyeka kana ũtakanĩkwo ũtheri-inĩ.
18 Take heard, therefore, how you hear; for to him who has, more shall be given; but from him who has not, shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei ũrĩa mũthikagĩrĩria. Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ na indo nĩakongererwo nyingĩ; na ũrĩa wothe ũtarĩ nĩagatuunywo o na kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo.”
19 Then his mother and brothers came to speak with him; but could not get near him for the crowd.
Na rĩrĩ, nyina wa Jesũ na ariũ a nyina na Jesũ magĩũka kũmuona, no matingĩahotire gũthiĩ hakuhĩ nake nĩ ũndũ wa andũ kũingĩha.
20 And it was told him by some persons, Your mother and your brothers are without, desiring to see you.
Mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marũgamĩte nja makĩenda gũkuona.”
21 But he, answering, said to them, My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God, and obey.
Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro wa Ngai na makaũhingia.”
22 One day, Jesus having gone into a bark with his disciples, said to them, Let us cross the lake. Accordingly they set sail.
Mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ nĩerire arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũringei tũthiĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtoonya gatarũ magĩthiĩ.
23 But while they sailed, he fell asleep; and there blew such a storm upon the lake, as filled the bark with water, and endangered lives.
Na rĩrĩa maathiiaga Jesũ akĩhĩtwo nĩ toro. Na rĩrĩ, kũu iria-inĩ nĩ kwagĩire na kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene, nako gatarũ kau kaarĩ hakuhĩ kũũrĩra maaĩ-inĩ, na magĩkorwo marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
24 And they came to him, and awakened him, saying, Master, Master, we perish! Then he arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ makĩmũũkĩria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ “Mwathani! Mwathani! Nĩtũkũũrĩra maaĩ-inĩ!” Nake Jesũ agĩũkĩra agĩkaania rũhuho na maaĩ macio maahũũranaga; namo makũmbĩ macio ma maaĩ makĩnyihanyiiha na gũkĩhoorera.
25 And Jesus said to them, Where is your faith? But they said one to another, with fear and admiration, Who is this that commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
Akĩũria arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Wĩtĩkio wanyu ũrĩ ha?” Nao makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya na makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũndũ ũyũ arĩ ũ? Aathaga huho o na maaĩ, nacio ikamwathĩkĩra.”
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite to Galilee.
Makĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, magĩkinya rũgongo rwa Agerasi rũrĩa rũngʼethanĩire na Galili.
27 Being come ashore, a man of the city met him, who had been long possessed by demons; and who wore no clothes, and had no habitation but the sepulchers.
Jesũ aarĩkia kuuma gatarũ, aakinya thĩ agĩtũngwo nĩ mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono oimĩte itũũra-inĩ. Mũndũ ũcio nĩaikarĩte ihinda inene ategwĩkĩra nguo kana agatũũra nyũmba, no aatũũraga mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
28 When he saw Jesus, he roared out, and threw himself at his feet, crying, What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me.
Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio onire Jesũ, agĩkaya na akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make, akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda atĩa na niĩ, wee Jesũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno? Ndagũthaitha, ndũkaanyariire!”
29 (For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had frequently seized him, so that when he was chained and fettered, he broke his bonds, and was driven by the fiend into the desert.)
Nĩgũkorwo Jesũ nĩathĩte ngoma ĩyo thũku yume thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũcio. Nĩyamũnyiitaga kaingĩ, na o na gũtuĩka nĩoohagwo moko na magũrũ na mĩnyororo, na akarangĩrwo-rĩ, nĩatuangaga mĩnyororo ĩyo yamuohaga, na ndaimono ĩyo ĩgatũma athiĩ kũndũ gũtarĩ andũ.
30 Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is your names?" He answered, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.
Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩtagwo atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Legioni,” nĩgũkorwo aarĩ na ndaimono nyingĩ.
31 And they entreated him, that he would not command them to go into the deep; (Abyssos )
Nacio ndaimono igĩkĩrĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ ndagaciathe ithiĩ Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi. (Abyssos )
32 but, as there was a numerous herd of swine feeding on the mountain, that he would permit them to enter into the swine. And he permitted them.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ haarĩ na rũũru rũnene rwa ngũrwe rwarĩithagio harũrũka-inĩ cia kĩrĩma kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na hau. Ndaimono icio igĩthaitha Jesũ aciĩtĩkĩrie itoonye thĩinĩ wacio, nake agĩciĩtĩkĩria.
33 Then the demons having quitted the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and were drowned.
Ndaimono cioima thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũcio, igĩthiĩ igĩtoonya ngũrwe, naruo rũũru rũu rũkĩharũrũka kĩhurũrũka kĩu na ihenya, rũkĩgũa iria-inĩ, rũkĩũrĩra kuo.
34 The herdsmen, seeing this, fled, and spread the news through the city and villages.
Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio moonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, makĩũra, magĩthiĩ kũheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ na mĩgũnda-inĩ,
35 And the inhabitants flocked out to see what had happened. Being come to Jesus, and finding the man of whom the demons were dispossessed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind, they were afraid.
nao andũ makiumagara makone ũndũ ũcio wekĩkĩte. Rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩ Jesũ na makĩona mũndũ ũcio woimĩtwo nĩ ndaimono aikarĩte magũrũ-inĩ ma Jesũ, arĩ na nguo na arĩ na meciiria mega, magĩĩtigĩra mũno.
36 But having been informed by the spectators, in what manner the demoniac delivered,
Andũ arĩa meyoneire ũndũ ũcio makĩĩra andũ acio angĩ ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio warĩ na ndaimono aahonetio.
37 all the people of the country of the Gadarenes, entreated him to leave them; for they were struck with terror. Accordingly, he re-entered the bark, and returned.
Nao andũ othe a rũgongo rũu rwa Agerasi magĩthaitha Jesũ oime kũu kwao amatige, nĩgũkorwo nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩtoonya gatarũ agĩthiĩ.
38 Now, the man out of whom the demons were gone, entreated his permission to attend him. But Jesus dismissed him, saying,
Nake mũndũ ũcio warutĩtwo ndaimono akĩmũthaitha mathiĩ nake, no Jesũ akĩmwatha athiĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
39 Return home, and relate what great things God has done for you. Then he departed, and published through all the city, what great things Jesus had done for him.
“Cooka mũciĩ ũkoige ũrĩa wothe Ngai agwĩkĩire.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩĩra andũ othe a itũũra ũrĩa Jesũ aamwĩkĩire.
40 Jesus, at his return, was welcomed by the crowd, who were all waiting for him.
Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aacooka kuuma mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, andũ aingĩ nĩmamwamũkĩrire tondũ nĩmamwetereire.
41 Meantime, a man named Jairus, came, a ruler of the synagogue, who, throwing himself at the feet of Jesus, besought him to come into his house;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ wetagwo Jairũ warĩ mũnene wa thunagogi agĩũka, akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ ma Jesũ, akĩmũthaitha athiĩ gwake,
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. As Jesus went along, the people crowded him;
nĩ ũndũ mũirĩtu wake wa mũmwe warĩ wa ta mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ aarĩ hakuhĩ gũkua. Na Jesũ arĩ njĩra-inĩ agĩthiĩ-rĩ, andũ nĩmamũhatĩkaga.
43 and a woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with an issue of blood, and had consumed all her living upon physicians, none of whom could cure her,
Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio nĩ haarĩ na mũtumia ũmwe watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩamũhonirie.
44 coming behind, touched the tuft of his mantle; upon which her issue was stopped.
Mũtumia ũcio agĩũka na thuutha wa Jesũ, akĩhutia gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na o rĩmwe agĩtiga kuura.
45 Then Jesus said, Who touched me? When every body denied it, Peter, and those with him, answered, Master, the multitude throng and press you, and do you say, Who touched me?
Nake Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũcio wahutia?” Rĩrĩa othe maakaanire, Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, andũ nĩmagũthiũrũrũkĩirie na magakũhatĩka.”
46 Jesus replied, Some person has touched me; for I am sensible that my power was just now exerted.
Nowe Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ mũndũ waahutia, tondũ nĩndaigua hinya woima thĩinĩ wakwa.”
47 Then the woman perceiving that she was discovered, came trembling, and having thrown herself prostrate, declared to him, before all the people, why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed:
Nake mũtumia ũcio, ona atĩ ndangĩhota kwĩhitha, agĩũka akĩinainaga, akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make. Arĩ hau mbere ya andũ othe akĩheana gĩtũmi kĩrĩa gĩatũmĩte amũhutie na ũrĩa aahonirio o ro rĩmwe.
48 and he said to her, Daughter, take courage, your faith has cured you, go in peace.
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone. Thiĩ na thayũ.”
49 While he was yet speaking, one came from the house of the director of the synagogue, who said, your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.
Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩaragia, hagĩkinya mũndũ woimĩte mũciĩ kwa Jairũ ũrĩa mũnene wa thunagogi, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩguo nĩarĩkĩtie gũkua, tiga gũthĩĩnia Mũrutani.”
50 Jesus, hearing this, said to Jairus, Fear not; only believe, and she shall be well.
Jesũ aigua ũguo, akĩĩra Jairũ atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee ĩtĩkia tu, na nĩekũhona.”
51 Being come to the house, he allowed no person to enter with him, except Peter, and John, and James, and the maid's father and mother.
Rĩrĩa aakinyire kwa Jairũ, ndaarekire mũndũ o na ũmwe atoonye hamwe nake, tiga o Petero, na Jakubu, na Johana, na ithe na nyina a mwana ũcio.
52 And all wept, and lamented her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but asleep.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe no kũrĩra maarĩraga magĩcakayaga nĩ ũndũ wa mwana ũcio. Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũrĩra, ti mũkuũ, nĩ gũkoma akomete.”
53 And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.
Nao makĩmũthekerera, tondũ nĩmooĩ atĩ aarĩ mũkuũ.
54 But he, having made them all retire, took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maiden, arise.
Nowe Jesũ akĩnyiita mwana ũcio guoko, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwana wakwa, ũkĩra!”
55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately, and he commanded to give her food.
Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo agĩcookererwo nĩ muoyo wake, na o rĩmwe akĩrũgama. Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera mahe mwana ũcio kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.
56 And her parents were astonished, but he charged them not to mention to any person what had happened.
Nao aciari ake makĩgega mũno, nowe akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũ ũndũ ũcio wekĩkĩte.
