Matthew 19
1 When Yeshua [Salvation] had finished these words, he departed from Galilee [District, Circuit], and came into the borders of Judea [Praise] beyond the Jordan [Descender].
Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aarĩkia kũmeera maũndũ macio-rĩ, akiuma Galili, agĩthiĩ rũgongo rwa Judea mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.
2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
Nao andũ aingĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, nake akĩmahoneria kuo.
3 Pharisees [Separated] came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
Na Afarisai amwe magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we nĩguo mamũgerie. Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie mũndũ atigane na mũtumia wake nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi o na kĩrĩkũ?”
4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete, atĩ o kĩambĩrĩria Mũũmbi ‘ombire mũndũ-mũrũme na mũndũ-wa-nja’,
5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
na akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu mũndũ mũrũme nĩagatigana na ithe na nyina, na anyiitane na mũtumia wake, nao eerĩ matuĩke mwĩrĩ ũmwe’?
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, acio ti andũ eerĩ rĩngĩ, no nĩ mũndũ ũmwe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arĩa Ngai anyiitithanĩtie, mũndũ ndakanamatigithanie.”
7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses [Drawn out] enjoin us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?”
Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire Musa aathane atĩ mũndũ no ahe mũtumia wake marũa ma gũtigana nake, amũte?”
8 He said to them, “Moses [Drawn out], because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Musa aamwĩtĩkĩririe mũtiganage na atumia anyu tondũ wa ũmũ wa ngoro cianyu. No gũtiarĩ ũguo kuuma kĩambĩrĩria.
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for porhneia ·sexual immorality·, and marries another, commits moichao ·act of adultery·; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits moichao ·act of adultery·.”
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe angĩtigana na mũtumia wake, tiga amũteire nĩ ũndũ wa ũtharia, nake ahikie mũtumia ũngĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩatharĩtie.”
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
Nao arutwo makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo kũrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũthuuri na mũtumia-rĩ, nĩ kaba kwaga kũhikania.”
11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhota gwĩtĩkĩra ũhoro ũyũ, tiga no arĩa maheetwo ũhoti ũcio.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s (God’s) sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe maaciarirwo mahaana ta marĩ ahakũre; angĩ maahakũrirwo nĩ andũ; na angĩ makarega kũhikania nĩ ũndũ wa ũthamaki wa igũrũ. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhota gwĩtĩkĩra ũndũ ũyũ, nĩawĩtĩkĩre.”
13 Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩreherwo twana nĩguo atũigĩrĩre moko na atũhooere. No arutwo magĩkũũma arĩa maatũrehete.
14 But Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven (God) belongs to ones like these.”
Nowe Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rekei twana tũũke kũrĩ niĩ, tigai gũtũgiria, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Igũrũ nĩ wa arĩa mahaana ta tuo.”
15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
Aarĩkia gũtũigĩrĩra moko, akiuma kũu.
16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good Rabbi ·Teacher·, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe nĩokire kũrĩ Jesũ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mwega ingĩĩka nĩgeetha ngĩe na muoyo wa tene na tene?” (aiōnios g166)
17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good? There is One who is good, that is God’s Torah ·Teaching·. But if you want to enter into life, observe the mitzvot ·instructions·.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũkũnjũũria ũhoro wa ũndũ ũrĩa mwega nĩkĩ? Kũrĩ o Ũmwe mwega. Ũngĩenda gũtoonya muoyo-inĩ-rĩ, athĩkagĩra maathani.”
18 He said to him, “Which ones?” Yeshua [Salvation] said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not moicheuo ·commit adultery·.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
Mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maathani marĩkũ?” Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “‘Ndũkanoragane, na ndũkanatharanie, na ndũkanaiye, na ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo,
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor as yourself.’”
na tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa,’ o na ‘endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene.’”
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
Mwanake ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ macio mothe ndũire ndĩmarũmĩtie, nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩ ndigairie?”
21 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩenda kwagĩrĩra kũna, thiĩ wendie indo ciaku ũhe athĩĩni mbeeca icio, na nĩũkagĩa na mũthiithũ igũrũ. Ũcooke ũũke ũnũmĩrĩre.”
22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
Rĩrĩa mwanake ũcio aiguire ũguo-rĩ, agĩthiĩ arĩ na kĩeha, tondũ aarĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ.
23 Yeshua [Salvation] said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (God) with difficulty.
Nake Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye (small door of city gate), than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
O rĩngĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, nĩ ũhũthũ ngamĩĩra ĩhungurĩre irima rĩa cindano, gũkĩra gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
Rĩrĩa arutwo maiguire ũguo-rĩ, makĩmaka mũno, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩkĩhonoka?”
26 Looking at them, Yeshua [Salvation] said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmarora akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio ndũngĩhoteka nĩ andũ, no maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga nĩ Ngai.”
27 Then Peter [Rock] answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”
Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ nĩtũtigĩte maũndũ mothe, tũgakũrũmĩrĩra! Ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ tũkaaheo?”
28 Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel [God prevails].
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene kĩrĩ riiri, thĩinĩ wa thĩ njerũ, inyuĩ arĩa mũnũmagĩrĩra nĩ inyuĩ mũgaikarĩra itĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia ũnene, na nĩmũgatuĩra mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli ciira.
29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Na ũrĩa wothe ũtigĩte nyũmba, kana ariũ a nyina, kana aarĩ a nyina, kana ithe, kana nyina, kana ciana, kana mĩgũnda nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakamũkĩra maita igana ma iria atigĩte, na agae muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
No rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ arĩa marĩ mbere nĩo makaarigia thuutha, na aingĩ arĩa marĩ thuutha nĩo magaatongoria.
