Matthew 10
1 And he called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
Nake Jesũ nĩetire arutwo ake ikũmi na eerĩ moke harĩ we, nake akĩmahe ũhoti wa kũingata ngoma thũku na kũhonia mĩrimũ yothe na ndwari ciothe.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma arutwo acio ikũmi na eerĩ: Wa mbere nĩ Simoni (ũrĩa wĩtagwo Petero), na mũrũ wa nyina Anderea; na Jakubu mũrũ wa Zebedi, na mũrũ wa nyina Johana;
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
na Filipu, na Baritholomayo; na Toma, na Mathayo ũrĩa mwĩtia wa mbeeca cia igooti; na Jakubu mũrũ wa Alifayo, na Thadayo;
4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
na Simoni ũrĩa Mũzelote, na Judasi Mũisikariota, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
5 Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the non-Jews, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
Aya ikũmi na eerĩ nĩo Jesũ aatũmire na akĩmataara ũũ: “Mũtigathiĩ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ kana mũtoonye itũũra rĩa Asamaria.
6 Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Nĩ kaba mũthiĩ kũrĩ ngʼondu iria ciũrĩte cia Isiraeli.
7 And as you go, proclaim, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
Mwathiĩ-rĩ, hunjagiai ndũmĩrĩri ĩno: ‘Ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩũkuhĩrĩirie.’
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
Honagiai andũ arĩa arũaru, na mũriũkagie arĩa akuũ, na mũtheragie arĩa marĩ na mangũ, na mũingatage ndaimono. Mũheetwo tũhũ, heanagai tũhũ.
9 Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts.
Mũtigekuuĩre thahabu, kana betha, kana gĩcango mĩcibi-inĩ yanyu;
10 Take no bag for your journey, neither two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
O na ningĩ mũtigekuuĩre mũhuko rũgendo-inĩ, kana nguo igĩrĩ, kana iraatũ, kana mũtirima; nĩgũkorwo mũruti wa wĩra nĩabataire kũheo gĩa kũmũtũũria muoyo.
11 And into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
“Itũũra o rĩothe kana gatũũra karĩa mũngĩtoonya-rĩ, tuĩriai mũmenye mũndũ ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru kuo, mũikare gwake nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima kuo.
12 And as you enter into the household, greet it.
Mwatoonya mũciĩ ũcio-rĩ, geithagiai ene kuo.
13 And if the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Angĩkorwo mũciĩ ũcio nĩwagĩrĩire-rĩ, ũrathimei na thayũ wanyu; angĩkorwo ndwagĩrĩire-rĩ, rekei kĩrathimo kĩanyu kĩmũcookerere.
14 And whoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩrega kũmũnyiita ũgeni kana arege gũthikĩrĩria ciugo cianyu-rĩ, mũkiuma mũciĩ ũcio kana itũũra rĩu-rĩ, mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu nĩguo rũkũngũ rũitĩke.
15 Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma ituĩro rĩa itũũra rĩu rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ inene gũkĩra rĩa Sodomu na Gomora mũthenya ũrĩa wa ciira.
16 "Look, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cunning as snakes and innocent as doves.
Atĩrĩrĩ ndamũtũma o ta ngʼondu gatagatĩ ka njũũi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gĩai na ũũgĩ ta nyoka, na mwage ũũru ta ndutura.
17 But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
“Mwĩmenyererei andũ; tondũ nĩmakamũneana ciama-inĩ, na mamũhũũre na iboko thunagogi-inĩ ciao.
18 Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro wakwa-rĩ, nĩmũgatwarwo mbere ya aathani na athamaki nĩgeetha mũtuĩke aira kũrĩ o na kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.
19 But when they deliver you over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
No rĩrĩa makaamũnyiita-rĩ, mũtikanetange nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mũkoiga kana ũrĩa mũgaacookia. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkeerwo ũrĩa mũkoiga,
20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
nĩgũkorwo ti inyuĩ mũgaakorwo mũkĩaria, no nĩ Roho wa Ithe wanyu ũkaaria arĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
21 "And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
“Mũndũ nĩagakunyanĩra mũrũ wa nyina ooragwo, na ithe wa mũndũ akunyanĩre mwana wake; ciana nĩikaremera aciari a cio na imoragithie.
22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Andũ othe nĩmakamũmena nĩ ũndũ wakwa, no ũrĩa ũgaakirĩrĩria nginya hĩndĩ ya mũthia nĩakahonoka.
23 But when they persecute you in one city, flee to the other. And if they persecute you in the other, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mwanyariirwo itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe-rĩ, ũrĩrai rĩrĩa rĩngĩ. Ngũmwĩra na ma atĩ, mũtigaakorwo mũthiĩte matũũra mothe ma Isiraeli, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ atookĩte.
24 "A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
“Mũrutwo ti mũnene kũrĩ mũrutani wake, o na ndungata ti nene kũrĩ mũmĩathi.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.
Nĩkũiganĩire mũrutwo aiganane na mũrutani wake, o na ndungata ĩiganane na mũmĩathi. Angĩkorwo mwene nyũmba nĩetĩtwo Beelizebuli-rĩ, githĩ andũ a nyũmba yake matigetwo marĩĩtwa mooru gũkĩra rĩu!
26 Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũtikametigĩre. Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithanie ũtakaguũrio, kana ũndũ mũhithe ũtakamenyeka.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
Ũrĩa ngũmwĩra nduma-inĩ-rĩ, wariei mũthenya barigici, na ũrĩa warĩtio na mĩheehũ matũ-inĩ manyu-rĩ, wanĩrĩrei mũrĩ nyũmba-igũrũ.
28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Mũtigetigĩre arĩa moragaga o mwĩrĩ, no matingĩhota kũũraga ngoro. Nĩ kaba gwĩtigĩra Ũrĩa ũngĩananga ngoro na mwĩrĩ kũu Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
29 "Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
Githĩ tũnyoni twĩrĩ tũtiendagio thendi ĩmwe? No gũtirĩ o na kamwe gatuo kangĩgũa thĩ Ithe wanyu atetĩkĩrĩte.
30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
O na njuĩrĩ cianyu cia mũtwe nĩndare.
31 Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigetigĩre; mũrĩ a bata gũkĩra tũnyoni tũingĩ.
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
“Ũrĩa wothe ũkaanyumbũra mbere ya andũ, o na niĩ nĩngamumbũra mbere ya Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ kũu igũrũ.
33 But whoever denies me before people, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
No ũrĩa wothe ũkangaana mbere ya andũ, na niĩ nĩngamũkaana mbere ya Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
34 "Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
“Mũtigeciirie atĩ njũkĩte kũrehe thayũ gũkũ thĩ. Ndiokire kũrehe thayũ, no ndookire kũrehe rũhiũ rwa njora.
35 For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Nĩgũkorwo njũkĩte gũtũma “‘mũndũ okanĩrĩre na ithe, na mũirĩtu okanĩrĩre na nyina, nake mũtumia okanĩrĩre na nyaciarawe;
36 And a person's foes will be those of his own household.
thũ cia mũndũ igaakorwo irĩ andũ a nyũmba yake kĩũmbe.’
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
“Ũrĩa wothe wendete ithe kana nyina kũngĩra ndagĩrĩire gũtuĩka wakwa; na ũrĩa wothe wendete mũriũ kana mwarĩ kũngĩra ndagĩrĩire gũtuĩka wakwa;
38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
nake ũrĩa wothe ũtagakuua mũtharaba wake wa kwambĩrwo aanũmĩrĩre ndagĩrĩire gũtuĩka wakwa.
39 Whoever seeks his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Ũrĩa wothe ũgeragia gũtũũria muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo; no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakaũtũũria.
40 Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũmwamũkagĩra, nĩ niĩ amũkagĩra. Nake ũrĩa ũnyamũkagĩra, amũkagĩra ũrĩa wandũmire.
41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
Ũrĩa wothe ũkaamũkĩra mũnabii tondũ nĩ mũnabii, nĩakamũkĩra kĩheo kĩrĩa kĩheagwo mũnabii, nake ũrĩa wothe ũkaamũkĩra mũndũ mũthingu tondũ nĩ mũthingu-rĩ, nĩakamũkĩra kĩheo kĩrĩa kĩheagwo mũndũ mũthingu.
42 And whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
Nake ũrĩa wothe ũheaga ũmwe wa aya anini o na gĩkombe kĩa maaĩ mahehu tondũ nĩ mũrutwo wakwa-rĩ, ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ndakaaga kũheo kĩheo gĩake.”
