< Luke 8 >

1 It happened shortly afterwards that he began to go from town to town and village to village, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God.
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 The twelve were with him, and certain women whom he had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases. Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons have been driven,
o na atumia amwe a arĩa maarutĩtwo ngoma thũku na arĩa maahonetio mĩrimũ: nao nĩ Mariamu (ũrĩa wetagwo Mũmagidali), nĩwe warutĩtwo ndaimono mũgwanja;
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who used to minister to him out of their substance.
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 As a great crowd was gathering, and men of town after town kept restoring to him, he spoke a parable to them.
Andũ aingĩ nĩmathiire na mbere kũngana harĩ Jesũ moimĩte matũũra-inĩ, na rĩrĩa andũ maingĩhire mũno akĩmahe ũhoro na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
5 "A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed some fell by the wayside, and was trodden under foot, and the wild birds ate it up.
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 "Some other seed dropped on the rock, as soon as it grew it withered away, because it had no moisture.
Ingĩ ikĩgũa rũnyanjara-inĩ, na rĩrĩa ciamerire, mĩmera ĩyo ĩkĩhooha tondũ wa kwaga ũigũ.
7 "Another part fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
Nacio mbeũ ingĩ ikĩgũa mĩigua-inĩ, nayo mĩigua ĩgĩkũranĩra nacio na ĩgĩcithararia.
8 "But some fell on good soil, and grew up, and brought forth fruit, a hundredfold." When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear with, let him listen."
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 Then his disciples began to interrupt him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"
Nao arutwo ake makĩmũũria ũrĩa ngerekano ĩyo yoigaga.
10 He answered. "To you it is given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God; But all others are taught in parables so that seeing they shall not see, and hearing they shall not hear.
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 "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 "Those by the wayside are people who hear, but then comes the devil and carries off the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and not 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 "Those on the rock are people who, upon hearing, receive the word with joy; but they have no root. For a time indeed they all believe, but in time of temptation they fall away.
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 "And that which fell upon thorns is those who have heard, but as they go on their way of word is choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life; so they bring no fruit of perfection.
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 "And that in the good soil is those who have listened to the message and, in an honest and good heart, hold fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
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 "When he lights a lamp no one covers it with a vase or hides it under a bed; he puts it on a lamp-stand so whoever may behold 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 is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed; there is nothing secret which shall not be made known and come to the light.
Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithe ũtakaguũrio, na gũtirĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hitho-inĩ ũtakamenyeka kana ũtakanĩkwo ũtheri-inĩ.
18 "Take heed, then, how you listen. for he who has, to him shall it be given, but from him who has not, shall be taken away even what he has."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei ũrĩa mũthikagĩrĩria. Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ na indo nĩakongererwo nyingĩ; na ũrĩa wothe ũtarĩ nĩagatuunywo o na kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo.”
19 There came to him his mother and his brothers, and they could not reach him because of 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 But some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."
Mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marũgamĩte nja makĩenda gũkuona.”
21 "My mother and brothers," he answered, "are those who listen to the word of God and obey it."
Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro wa Ngai na makaũhingia.”
22 Now it happened that one of these days he got into a boat, And him his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake."
Mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ nĩerire arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũringei tũthiĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtoonya gatarũ magĩthiĩ.
23 So they set sail. While they were sailing he fell asleep. And there fell on the lake a squall of wind, so that the boat began to fill, and they to be in deadly peril.
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 Then they came to him and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are lost!" Then he awoke, and rebuked the winds and the raging of the sea. 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 "Where is your faith?" he asked them, In their terror they were filled with amazement, and said to one another, "Who is this who commands even the winds and the sea, 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 Then they put in at the country of Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee.
Makĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, magĩkinya rũgongo rwa Agerasi rũrĩa rũngʼethanĩire na Galili.
27 When he landed here he was met by a certain townsman who was possessed by demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes and nor lived in any house, but in tombs.
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 cried out, and fell down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed. "What have we to do with you, Jesus, you son of God Most High? I implore you to torment me not!"
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 Jesus was already commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him and held him, and they again and again kept him under guard, and put him in chains and fetters. But he would break his bonds asunder, as he was driven by the demon in to 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 So Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, "Legion" (for many demons had entered into him).
Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩtagwo atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Legioni,” nĩgũkorwo aarĩ na ndaimono nyingĩ.
31 So they besought Jesus not to command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
Nacio ndaimono igĩkĩrĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ ndagaciathe ithiĩ Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was a great herd of swine feeding on the hillside, and the demons begged him to give them leave to enter them. He gave them leave.
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 The demons came out of the man, and entered into the swine; the herd rushed violently down over the cliff into the lake.
Ndaimono cioima thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũcio, igĩthiĩ igĩtoonya ngũrwe, naruo rũũru rũu rũkĩharũrũka kĩhurũrũka kĩu na ihenya, rũkĩgũa iria-inĩ, rũkĩũrĩra kuo.
34 And those who saw what had happened fled and reported it in the town and the villages.
Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio moonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, makĩũra, magĩthiĩ kũheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ na mĩgũnda-inĩ,
35 Then the people came out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the demons had gone sitting clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus. And they were terrified.
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 Then those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been saved.
Andũ arĩa meyoneire ũndũ ũcio makĩĩra andũ acio angĩ ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio warĩ na ndaimono aahonetio.
37 And the whole populace of Gadarenes and the surrounding territory besought Jesus to go away from them; for they were terror-stricken. So he entered a boat 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 But the man out of whom the demons had gone kept begging him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away saying,
Nake mũndũ ũcio warutĩtwo ndaimono akĩmũthaitha mathiĩ nake, no Jesũ akĩmwatha athiĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
39 "Return to your home, and tell them all that God has done for you." So he went away and throughout the whole city he published how much 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 And as Jesus returned the crowd welcomed him;
Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aacooka kuuma mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, andũ aingĩ nĩmamwamũkĩrire tondũ nĩmamwetereire.
41 for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jarius, and he was ruler in the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged 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 only one daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went the crowds continued to press in on 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 for twelve years had had a hemorrhage, and had spent on doctors all that she had, but none had cured her,
Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio nĩ haarĩ na mũtumia ũmwe watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩamũhonirie.
44 came close behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and instantly the hemorrhage ceased.
Mũtumia ũcio agĩũka na thuutha wa Jesũ, akĩhutia gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na o rĩmwe agĩtiga kuura.
45 "Who is that touched me?" said Jesus and when everybody denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing upon you."
Nake Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũcio wahutia?” Rĩrĩa othe maakaanire, Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, andũ nĩmagũthiũrũrũkĩirie na magakũhatĩka.”
46 But Jesus said. "Some one did touch me; for I perceived that the power was proceeding out of me."
Nowe Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ mũndũ waahutia, tondũ nĩndaigua hinya woima thĩinĩ wakwa.”
47 Then the woman, who saw that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and falling down before him, stated before the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she had been instantly 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 "Daughter," he said "your faith has made you well, go on into peace."
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone. Thiĩ na thayũ.”
49 As he was speaking some one came from the house of the synagogue, saying. "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Master."
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 But Jesus heard and answered. "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored."
Jesũ aigua ũguo, akĩĩra Jairũ atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee ĩtĩkia tu, na nĩekũhona.”
51 So he came to the house, and would not permit anyone to go in with him except Peter and Johnand James, and the father and Mother of the little girl.
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 The people were weeping and bewailing her, but he said. "Stop your wailing; for 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 They began to laugh him to scorn, because they knew well that she was dead.
Nao makĩmũthekerera, tondũ nĩmooĩ atĩ aarĩ mũkuũ.
54 But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Little daughter, rise!"
Nowe Jesũ akĩnyiita mwana ũcio guoko, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwana wakwa, ũkĩra!”
55 And her spirit returned and instantly she stood up.
Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo agĩcookererwo nĩ muoyo wake, na o rĩmwe akĩrũgama. Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera mahe mwana ũcio kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.
56 He bade them to get her some food. Her parents were amazed; but he forbade them to tell any one what had been done.
Nao aciari ake makĩgega mũno, nowe akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũ ũndũ ũcio wekĩkĩte.
