Matthew 9
1 And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his own city,
Nake agĩtoonya gatarũ, akĩringa iria, agĩkinya itũũra rĩa kwao.
2 and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'
Andũ amwe makĩmũrehera mũndũ warĩ na mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, akuuĩtwo na kĩbarĩ. Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ, wĩyũmĩrĩrie, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
3 And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, 'This one doth speak evil.'
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, arutani amwe a watho makĩĩra na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaruma Ngai!”
4 And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, 'Why think ye evil in your hearts?
Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meeciiragia, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũreciiria ũũru ngoro-inĩ cianyu nĩkĩ?
5 for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk?
Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mũhũthũ: nĩ kwĩra mũndũ, ‘Nĩwarekerwo mehia maku,’ kana kũmwĩra, ‘Ũkĩra wĩtware?’
6 'But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins — (then saith he to the paralytic) — having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.'
No nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ arĩ na ũhoti gũkũ thĩ wa kũrekanĩra mehia-rĩ ….” Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku ũinũke mũciĩ.”
7 And he, having risen, went to his house,
Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩũkĩra, akĩinũka mũciĩ.
8 and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.
Rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩonire ũguo, gĩkĩmaka na gĩkĩgooca Ngai, ũrĩa waheete andũ ũhoti ta ũcio.
9 And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimaga kũu, akĩona mũndũ wetagwo Mathayo aikarĩte harĩa heetagĩrio mbeeca cia igooti. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra,” nake Mathayo agĩũkĩra, akĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
10 And it came to pass, he reclining (at meat) in the house, that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples,
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩ kwa Mathayo mũciĩ makĩrĩa irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, etia mbeeca cia igooti aingĩ na andũ ehia magĩũka kũrĩanĩra hamwe nake na arutwo ake.
11 and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, 'Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'
Rĩrĩa Afarisai moonire ũguo, makĩũria arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani wanyu arĩĩanagĩra na etia mbeeca cia igooti na andũ ehia nĩkĩ?”
12 And Jesus having heard, said to them, 'They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill;
Jesũ aigua ũguo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa agima mĩĩrĩ ti o mabataragio nĩ ndagĩtarĩ, no nĩ arĩa arũaru.
13 but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'
No rĩrĩ, thiĩi mũkeerute ũrĩa ciugo ici ciugĩte: ‘Kũiguanĩra tha nĩkuo nyendaga, no ti magongona.’ Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndiokire gũcaria arĩa athingu, no ndokire nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa ehia.”
14 Then come to him do the disciples of John, saying, 'Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not?'
Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo a Johana magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ na Afarisai nĩtwĩhingaga kũrĩa, no nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mage kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio?”
15 And Jesus said to them, 'Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, so long as the bridegroom is with them? but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ageni a mũhikania mangĩhota atĩa kũigua kĩeha rĩrĩa mũhikania arĩ hamwe nao? Ihinda nĩrĩgakinya rĩrĩa mũhikania akeeherio kũrĩ o; hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo makeehinga kũrĩa irio.
16 'And no one doth put a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, for its filling up doth take from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtumagĩrĩra nguo ngũrũ kĩraka kĩa nguo njerũ, nĩgũkorwo kĩraka kĩu no kĩguucie nguo ĩyo gĩtũme ĩtarũke makĩria.
17 'Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not — the skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.'
Ningĩ andũ matiĩkagĩra ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ ngũrũ. Mangĩĩka ũguo, mondo icio no itarũke, nayo ndibei ĩitĩke, na mondo icio cia ndibei cianangĩke o biũ. No andũ mekagĩra ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ njerũ, nacio cierĩ igaikara irĩ njega.”
18 While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that 'My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.'
Na rĩrĩa aaragia maũndũ macio, hagĩũka mũndũ warĩ mũnene, akĩmũturĩria ndu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu wakwa no hĩndĩ aakua; no ũka ũkamũigĩrĩre guoko, na nĩekũriũka.”
19 And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples,
Nake Jesũ agĩũkĩra, agĩthiĩ nake, arĩ na arutwo ake.
20 and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments,
O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtumia watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ agĩũka na thuutha wa Jesũ, akĩhutia gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake.
21 for she said within herself, 'If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.'
Tondũ eĩĩraga atĩrĩ, “Ingĩhutia o nguo yake, no hone.”
22 And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.
Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra, akĩmuona, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩyũmĩrĩrie gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone.” Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩhonio o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
23 And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult,
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire nyũmba ya mũnene ũcio, akĩona ahuhi mĩtũrirũ na gĩkundi kĩa andũ kĩrĩa kĩanegenaga,
24 he saith to them, 'Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him;
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Eherai. Mũirĩtũ ũyũ ti mũkuũ, nĩ gũkoma akomete.” Nao andũ acio makĩmũthekerera.
25 but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,
Thuutha wa andũ acio kuumio nja, agĩtoonya thĩinĩ, akĩnyiita mũirĩtu ũcio guoko, nake agĩũkĩra.
26 and the fame of this went forth to all the land.
Ũhoro ũcio ũkĩhunja bũrũri ũcio wothe.
27 And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, 'Deal kindly with us, Son of David.'
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire kũu, aathianga-rĩ, andũ eerĩ atumumu makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, makĩanagĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Tũiguĩre tha, wee Mũrũ wa Daudi!”
28 And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, 'Believe ye that I am able to do this?' They say to him, 'Yes, sir.'
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aatoonyire nyũmba, atumumu acio magĩũka kũrĩ we, nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ no hote gwĩka ũguo?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ-ni, Mwathani.”
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith let it be to you,'
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmahutia maitho, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũroĩkwo o ũguo mwĩtĩkĩtie;”
30 and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, 'See, let no one know;'
namo maitho mao makĩhingũka magĩcooka kuona. Nake Jesũ akĩmakaania na hinya, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye ũhoro ũyũ.”
31 but they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all that land.
No-o makiumagara na makĩhunjia ũhoro wake bũrũri ũcio wothe.
32 And as they are coming forth, lo, they brought to him a man dumb, a demoniac,
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moimaga hau, Jesũ akĩreherwo mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono, na ndaaragia.
33 and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that 'It was never so seen in Israel:'
Nayo ndaimono yaingatwo, mũndũ ũcio ũtaaragia, akĩaria. Kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩgega, gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ta ũyũ ndũrĩ woneka Isiraeli.”
34 but the Pharisees said, 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'
No Afarisai makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aingataga ndaimono na hinya wa mũnene wa ndaimono.”
35 And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every sickness and every malady among the people.
Nake Jesũ agĩtuĩkania matũũra-inĩ mothe na mĩciĩ-inĩ yothe, akĩrutanaga thĩinĩ wa thunagogi ciao, akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũthamaki, na akĩhonagia mĩrimũ na ndwari cia mĩthemba yothe.
36 And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd,
Na rĩrĩa oonire ũrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩaiganaga, agĩkĩiguĩra tha tondũ kĩarĩ gĩthĩĩnĩku na gĩkaaga ũteithio, ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi.
37 then saith he to his disciples, 'The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Magetha nĩ maingĩ, no aruti a wĩra nĩ anini.
38 beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, hooyai Mwathani wa magetha atũme aruti wĩra mathiĩ magetha-inĩ make.”
