< Matthew 10 >
1 And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
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 And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James 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-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
na Filipu, na Baritholomayo; na Toma, na Mathayo ũrĩa mwĩtia wa mbeeca cia igooti; na Jakubu mũrũ wa Alifayo, na Thadayo;
4 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.
na Simoni ũrĩa Mũzelote, na Judasi Mũisikariota, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, 'To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
Aya ikũmi na eerĩ nĩo Jesũ aatũmire na akĩmataara ũũ: “Mũtigathiĩ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ kana mũtoonye itũũra rĩa Asamaria.
6 and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Nĩ kaba mũthiĩ kũrĩ ngʼondu iria ciũrĩte cia Isiraeli.
7 'And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
Mwathiĩ-rĩ, hunjagiai ndũmĩrĩri ĩno: ‘Ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩũkuhĩrĩirie.’
8 infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.
Honagiai andũ arĩa arũaru, na mũriũkagie arĩa akuũ, na mũtheragie arĩa marĩ na mangũ, na mũingatage ndaimono. Mũheetwo tũhũ, heanagai tũhũ.
9 'Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
Mũtigekuuĩre thahabu, kana betha, kana gĩcango mĩcibi-inĩ yanyu;
10 nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
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 ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
“Itũũra o rĩothe kana gatũũra karĩa mũngĩtoonya-rĩ, tuĩriai mũmenye mũndũ ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru kuo, mũikare gwake nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima kuo.
12 And coming to the house salute it,
Mwatoonya mũciĩ ũcio-rĩ, geithagiai ene kuo.
13 and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
Angĩkorwo mũciĩ ũcio nĩwagĩrĩire-rĩ, ũrathimei na thayũ wanyu; angĩkorwo ndwagĩrĩire-rĩ, rekei kĩrathimo kĩanyu kĩmũcookerere.
14 'And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of 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 verily I say to you, It shall 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 'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
Atĩrĩrĩ ndamũtũma o ta ngʼondu gatagatĩ ka njũũi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gĩai na ũũgĩ ta nyoka, na mwage ũũru ta ndutura.
17 And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
“Mwĩmenyererei andũ; tondũ nĩmakamũneana ciama-inĩ, na mamũhũũre na iboko thunagogi-inĩ ciao.
18 and before governors and kings ye shall be brought 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 'And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
No rĩrĩa makaamũnyiita-rĩ, mũtikanetange nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mũkoiga kana ũrĩa mũgaacookia. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkeerwo ũrĩa mũkoiga,
20 for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
nĩgũkorwo ti inyuĩ mũgaakorwo mũkĩaria, no nĩ Roho wa Ithe wanyu ũkaaria arĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
21 'And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
“Mũndũ nĩagakunyanĩra mũrũ wa nyina ooragwo, na ithe wa mũndũ akunyanĩre mwana wake; ciana nĩikaremera aciari a cio na imoragithie.
22 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Andũ othe nĩmakamũmena nĩ ũndũ wakwa, no ũrĩa ũgaakirĩrĩria nginya hĩndĩ ya mũthia nĩakahonoka.
23 'And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
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 sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, 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 'Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũtikametigĩre. Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithanie ũtakaguũrio, kana ũndũ mũhithe ũtakamenyeka.
27 that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
Ũrĩa ngũmwĩra nduma-inĩ-rĩ, wariei mũthenya barigici, na ũrĩa warĩtio na mĩheehũ matũ-inĩ manyu-rĩ, wanĩrĩrei mũrĩ nyũmba-igũrũ.
28 'And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna. (Geenna )
Mũtigetigĩre arĩa moragaga o mwĩrĩ, no matingĩhota kũũraga ngoro. Nĩ kaba gwĩtigĩra Ũrĩa ũngĩananga ngoro na mwĩrĩ kũu Jehanamu. (Geenna )
29 'Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
Githĩ tũnyoni twĩrĩ tũtiendagio thendi ĩmwe? No gũtirĩ o na kamwe gatuo kangĩgũa thĩ Ithe wanyu atetĩkĩrĩte.
30 and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
O na njuĩrĩ cianyu cia mũtwe nĩndare.
31 be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigetigĩre; mũrĩ a bata gũkĩra tũnyoni tũingĩ.
32 'Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
“Ũrĩa wothe ũkaanyumbũra mbere ya andũ, o na niĩ nĩngamumbũra mbere ya Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ kũu igũrũ.
33 and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
No ũrĩa wothe ũkangaana mbere ya andũ, na niĩ nĩngamũkaana mbere ya Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
34 'Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put 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 variance 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 the enemies of a man are those of his household.
thũ cia mũndũ igaakorwo irĩ andũ a nyũmba yake kĩũmbe.’
37 'He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above 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 doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
nake ũrĩa wothe ũtagakuua mũtharaba wake wa kwambĩrwo aanũmĩrĩre ndagĩrĩire gũtuĩka wakwa.
39 'He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.
Ũrĩa wothe ũgeragia gũtũũria muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo; no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakaũtũũria.
40 'He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũmwamũkagĩra, nĩ niĩ amũkagĩra. Nake ũrĩa ũnyamũkagĩra, amũkagĩra ũrĩa wandũmire.
41 he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man'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 may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not 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.”
