Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikũrũkire kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, ikundi nene cia andũ ikĩmuuma thuutha.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
Na mũndũ warĩ na mangũ agĩthiĩ harĩ we, agĩturia maru mbere yake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũngĩenda-rĩ, no ũũtherie.”
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
Nake Jesũ agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake, akĩhutia mũndũ ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwenda. Therio!” O hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩhonio mangũ make.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Menya ndũkeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. No thiĩ ũkeyonanie kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ũrute kĩheo kĩrĩa Musa aathanire gĩtuĩke ũira kũrĩ o.”
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Na Jesũ aarĩkia gũtoonya Kaperinaumu, mũnene-wa-thigari-igana agĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩmũhooya ũteithio.
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ndungata yakwa ĩkomete mũciĩ ĩrũarĩte mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga na ĩrĩ na ruo rũingĩ mũno.”
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ kũmĩhonia.”
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
No mũnene ũcio wa thigari igana akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, niĩ ndiagĩrĩire atĩ wee ũũke gwakwa. No uga o kiugo, na ndungata yakwa nĩĩkũhona.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Nĩgũkorwo niĩ mwene ndĩ mũndũ wathagwo, na ndĩ na thigari njathaga. Ndeera ũmwe ‘Thiĩ,’ nĩathiiaga, na ndeera ũngĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Ũka,’ nĩokaga. Na ningĩ ndeera ndungata yakwa atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩka ũna,’ nĩĩkaga.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩgega, akĩĩra arĩa maamumĩte thuutha atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ndionete mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ gũkũ Isiraeli ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio mũnene ũũ.
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, aingĩ nĩmagooka kuuma mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro, na nĩmagaikara iruga-inĩ hamwe na Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ.
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
No arĩa marĩ a ũthamaki ũcio nĩmagaikio nja, kũu nduma-inĩ, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.”
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
Nake Jesũ agĩcooka akĩĩra mũnene ũcio wa thigari igana atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ! Nĩũgwĩkĩrwo o ũguo wĩtĩkĩtie.” Nayo ndungata yake ĩkĩhonio o ithaa rĩu.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire nyũmba ya Petero, akĩona atĩ nyina wa mũtumia wa Petero aarĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, agakoma gĩtanda-inĩ.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
Akĩmũhutia guoko, nake agĩtiga kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, akĩarahũka, akĩambĩrĩria kũmũtungatĩra.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio, andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono makĩrehwo kũrĩ we, nake akĩingata maroho macio na kuuga o kiugo, na akĩhonia arĩa othe maarĩ arũaru.
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
Ũhoro ũyũ warĩ wa kũhingia ũrĩa kwaarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii Isaia, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ: “We mwene nĩoire wonje witũ, na akĩeheria mĩrimũ iitũ.”
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire gĩkundi kĩa andũ arĩa maamũthiũrũrũkĩirie, agĩathana maringe mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria.
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũrutani ũmwe wa watho agĩũka harĩ we, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩndĩkũrũmagĩrĩra kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga.”
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mbwe nĩ irĩ marima, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ nĩ irĩ itara, no Mũrũ wa Mũndũ ndarĩ handũ angĩigĩrĩra mũtwe wake.”
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Nake mũrutwo ũngĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, reke nyambe thiĩ ngathike baba.”
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
Nowe Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra, na ũreke arĩa akuũ mathike akuũ ao ene.”
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩtoonya gatarũ, nao arutwo ake makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Na rĩrĩ, gũkĩgĩa kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene gĩteerĩgĩrĩirwo kũu iria-inĩ, gĩgĩtũma gatarũ kende kũhubwo nĩ makũmbĩ ma maaĩ. No Jesũ aarĩ toro.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ, makĩmũũkĩria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tũhonokie! Nĩtũkũũrĩra maaĩ-inĩ!”
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũrĩ a wĩtĩkio mũnini, nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mwĩtigĩre ũguo?” Thuutha ũcio agĩũkĩra, agĩkũũma rũhuho na makũmbĩ macio, nakuo gũkĩhoorera biũ.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Andũ acio makĩgega, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũndũ ũyũ akĩrĩ ũ atĩ o na rũhuho na makũmbĩ ma maaĩ nĩimwathĩkagĩra?”
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
Rĩrĩa aakinyire rũgongo rwa bũrũri wa Agadari-rĩ, agĩtũngwo nĩ andũ eerĩ maarĩ na ndaimono, moimĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ. Maarĩ na ũũru mũingĩ mũno, atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩagerire njĩra ĩyo.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
Nao makĩanĩrĩra, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda atĩa na ithuĩ, wee Mũrũ wa Ngai. Woka gũkũ gũtũnyariira ihinda rĩrĩa rĩamũre rĩtanakinya?”
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Nĩ haarĩ na rũũru rũnene rwa ngũrwe rwarĩithagio handũ hataarĩ haraaya na hau maarĩ.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
Nacio ndaimono igĩthaitha Jesũ, ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Akorwo nĩũgũtũingata-rĩ, tũtũme kũrĩ rũũru rũũrĩa rwa ngũrwe.”
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Nake agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ikiuma, igĩtoonya ngũrwe, naruo rũũru ruothe rũgĩikũrũka kĩharũrũka-inĩ na ihenya, rũkĩgũa iria thĩinĩ, rũgĩkuĩra maaĩ-inĩ.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
Arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio makĩũra, magĩthiĩ itũũra-inĩ, makĩheana maũndũ macio mothe o na ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte kũrĩ andũ arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
Hĩndĩ ĩyo itũũra rĩothe rĩkiumagara rĩgatũnge Jesũ. Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maamuonire, makĩmũthaitha oime rũgongo rwao.
