Luka 11
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ aarĩ handũ akĩhooya. Rĩrĩa aarĩkirie kũhooya, mũrutwo ũmwe wake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tũrute kũhooya o ta ũrĩa Johana aarutire arutwo ake.”
AND it was that while he was praying in a certain place, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, Our Lord, teach us to pray as also Juchanon taught his disciples.
2 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa mũkũhooya, ugagai atĩrĩ: “‘Ithe witũ (ũrĩ Igũrũ), rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩrĩamũrwo, ũthamaki waku nĩũũke. (Ũrĩa wendete nĩwĩkagwo gũkũ thĩ, o ta ũrĩa gwĩkagwo kũu igũrũ.)
Jeshu said to them, When you pray, thus be saying, Our Father who (art) in the heavens, be sanctified thy name. Come thy kingdom. Be done thy will as in the heavens also upon earth.
3 Tũheage o mũthenya irio ciitũ cia gũtũigana.
Give to us the bread of our need every day,
4 Na ũtũrekere mehia maitũ, o ta ũrĩa o na ithuĩ tũrekagĩra arĩa othe matwĩhagĩria. Na ndũgatũtware magerio-inĩ (no kũhonokia ũtũhonokagie ũũru-inĩ).’”
and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive all who are indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil.
5 Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũmwe wanyu angĩkorwo arĩ na mũrata nake athiĩ gwake ũtukũ gatagatĩ amwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrata wakwa, he mĩgate ĩtatũ,
And he said to them, Who of you that has a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him, My friend, lend me three loaves,
6 nĩgũkorwo ndĩ na mũrata wakwa wanjeerera, na ndirĩ na kĩndũ gĩa kũmũhe arĩe.’
because a friend has come to me from the way, and I have nothing to set to him?
7 “Nake mũndũ ũcio ũrĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ amũcookerie atĩrĩ, ‘Tiga gũũthĩĩnia. Nĩndĩkĩtie kũhinga mũrango na tũrĩ toro hamwe na ciana ciakwa. Ndingĩhota gũũkĩra ngũhe mĩgate.’
and that friend from within shall answer and say unto him, Disturb me not, for the door is shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give to you.
8 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, o na angĩkorwo ndangĩũkĩra amũhe mĩgate ĩyo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrata-rĩ, no nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa amũringĩrĩirie-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩegũũkĩra amũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe abatairio nĩkĩo.”
I tell you if for friendship's sake he will not give him, (yet) because of importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ: Hooyai na nĩmũkũheo; mathaai na nĩmũkuona; ringaringai mũrango na nĩmũkũhingũrĩrwo.
I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe ũhooyaga nĩaheagwo; na ũrĩa ũmaathaga nĩonaga; na ũrĩa ũringaringaga mũrango nĩahingũragĩrwo.
For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him.
11 “Nĩ mũciari ũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wanyu ũngĩĩtio thamaki nĩ mwana wake, nake amũhe nyoka?
For what father (is there) among you who, if his son shall ask bread, will reach to him a stone? or should he ask a fish, how instead of a fish will he reach to him a serpent?
12 Kana eetio itumbĩ amũhe kangʼaurũ?
or if an egg he shall ask, will he a scorpion reach to him?
13 Angĩkorwo inyuĩ, o na mũrĩ ooru, nĩmũũĩ kũhe ciana cianyu iheo njega-rĩ, Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ Igũrũ githĩ ndarĩkĩragĩrĩria kũhe Roho Mũtheru kũrĩ arĩa mamũhooyaga!”
And if you, who are evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from the heavens give the Spirit of Holiness to those who ask him!
14 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ nĩaingataga ndaimono yume thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũtaaragia. Rĩrĩa ndaimono ĩyo yoimire, mũndũ ũcio ũtaaragia akĩaria, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ gĩkĩgega.
AND he was casting out a demon which was dumb; and when he had cast out the demon, the dumb spake, and the multitudes wondered.
15 No amwe ao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aingataga ndaimono na hinya wa Beelizebuli ũrĩa mũnene wa ndaimono.”
But some from them said, By Beelzebub, the prince of the devils, he casteth out devils;
16 Nao andũ angĩ makĩmũgeria, makĩmũũria amaringĩre kĩama kiumĩte igũrũ.
while others, tempting him, the sign from heaven demanded of him.
17 Jesũ nĩamenyire ũrĩa meciiragia, nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ũthamaki o wothe ũngĩgayũkana ũũkanĩrĩre guo mwene no ũharagane, nayo nyũmba ĩngĩgayũkana yũkanĩrĩre yo nyene no ĩgwe.
But Jeshu, who knew their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom which is divided against itself will be desolated; and a house that against its own self is divided falleth;
18 Angĩkorwo Shaitani nĩagayũkanĩte akeyũkĩrĩra we mwene-rĩ, ũthamaki wake ũngĩkĩĩhaanda atĩa? Ndoiga ũguo tondũ mũroiga atĩ niĩ nyingataga ndaimono na hinya wa Beelizebuli.
and if Satana against himself be divided, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.
19 Ningĩ angĩkorwo niĩ nyingataga ndaimono na hinya wa Beelizebuli-rĩ, arũmĩrĩri anyu maingataga ndaimono na hinya wa ũ? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, acio nĩo makaamũtuĩra ciira.
But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, your sons, by what do they cast (them) out? On account of this they shall be your judges.
20 Na rĩrĩ, ingĩkorwo nyingataga ndaimono na hinya wa kĩara kĩa Ngai-rĩ, ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũũkĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.
But if by the finger of Aloha I cast out devils, there hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
21 “Rĩrĩa mũndũ njamba oya indo ciake ciothe cia mbaara, arangĩre nyũmba yake mwene, indo ciake ciikaraga irĩ ngitĩre.
When the strong one armed keepeth his court, his possession is in peace;
22 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya kũmũkĩra angĩmũtharĩkĩra amũtoorie, nĩamũtunyaga indo ciake cia mbaara iria ehokete, na akagaĩra andũ indo iria akoragwo atahĩte.
but if a stronger than he shall come, he shall overcome him; all his armour he taketh on which he depended, and he divideth his spoils.
23 “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩ thũ yakwa, na ũrĩa ũtacookanagĩrĩria hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩ kũhurunja ahurunjaga.
He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not collect with me, by scattering he scattereth.
24 “Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngoma thũku yoima thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, ĩtuĩkanagĩria werũ-inĩ ĩgĩcaria ũhurũko na ĩkawaga. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ĩkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũcooka nyũmba ĩrĩa ndoimire.’
The unclean spirit, when he hath gone out from a son of man, goeth about through regions which have no waters in them, because he seeketh to him rest. And when he cannot find it he saith, I will return to my house from whence I went out.
25 Na yacooka ĩgakora nyũmba ĩyo ĩrĩ haate, ĩgathondekwo wega.
And when he cometh he findeth it swept and ornamented.
26 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩkagĩĩra ngoma ingĩ mũgwanja thũku makĩria mayo, igatoonya, igaikara kuo. Naguo mũikarĩre wa mũndũ ũcio ũgathũka gũkĩra wa mbere.”
Then he goeth, taketh seven other spirits who are more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last of that man is worse than his first.
27 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aaragia maũndũ maya-rĩ, mũndũ-wa-nja warĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kĩrĩndĩ akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo nĩ maitũguo ũrĩa wagũciarire na agĩkuongithia.”
AND while he spake these words, a certain woman lifted up her voice from the crowd, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked!
28 Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo nĩ arĩa maiguaga kiugo kĩa Ngai na magagĩathĩkĩra.”
He said to her, Blessed are they who hear the word of Aloha and keep it.
29 Na rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ kĩongererekire-rĩ, Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũrũ nĩ rũciaro rwaganu. Rũũragia rũringĩrwo kĩama, no gũtirĩ kĩama rũkaringĩrwo tiga o kĩrĩa kĩaringĩirwo Jona.
And when the assemblies had gathered together, he began to say, This evil generation requireth a sign; but no sign shall be given to it save the sign of Jaunon the prophet.
30 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa Jona aarĩ kĩmenyithia kũrĩ andũ a Nineve, ũguo noguo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ egũkorwo arĩ kĩmenyithia kũrĩ rũciaro rũrũ.
For as was Jaunon a sign to the Ninvoyee, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Mũtumia-mũthamaki ũrĩa wa mwena wa Gũthini nĩakarũgama hĩndĩ ya ciira hamwe na andũ a rũciaro rũrũ arũtuĩre ciira, nĩgũkorwo oimire ituri cia thĩ oke athikĩrĩrie ũũgĩ wa Solomoni, na rĩu ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra Solomoni arĩ haha.
The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; for she came from the confines of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelemun, and, lo, a greater than Shelemun is here.
32 Andũ a Nineve nĩmakarũgama hĩndĩ ya ciira hamwe na rũciaro rũrũ marũtuĩre ciira; nĩgũkorwo nĩmeririre maahunjĩirio nĩ Jona, na rĩu ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra Jona arĩ haha.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jaunon, and, lo, a greater than Jaunon is here.
33 “Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgwatagia tawa agacooka akaũiga handũ ũtangĩoneka kana akaũiga rungu rwa irebe, no aũigaga handũ igũrũ nĩguo arĩa megũtoonya nyũmba mathererwo nĩ ũtheri.
No man lighteth a lamp and setteth it in a secret (place) or under a measure, but upon a candlestick, that they who enter may see the light of it.
34 Riitho rĩaku nĩrĩo tawa wa mwĩrĩ waku. Rĩrĩa maitho maku marĩ mega, mwĩrĩ waku wothe o naguo ũkoragwo ũiyũrĩte ũtheri. No rĩrĩa matarĩ mega-rĩ, mwĩrĩ waku o naguo ũkoragwo ũiyũrĩte nduma.
The lamp of thy body is thine eye; when therefore thine eye is simple, thy whole body also will be illuminated; but if it be evil, thy body also will be darkness.
35 Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, menyerera ũtheri ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ waku ndũgatuĩke nduma.
Beware, therefore, lest the light that is in thee become darkness.
36 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mwĩrĩ waku wothe ũngĩiyũrwo nĩ ũtheri, na ndũrĩ handũ harĩ nduma, nĩũrĩtheragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri biũ, o ta ũrĩa ũtheri wa tawa ũkũmũrĩkagĩra.”
But if thy whole body be illuminated, and no part whatever in it be darkness, the whole will be light, as when a lamp with its flame enlighteneth thee.
37 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩkirie kwaria, Mũfarisai ũmwe akĩmũnyiita ũgeni gwake makarĩanĩre; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ, agĩikara metha-inĩ.
AND as he was speaking, a certain Pharisha requested of him to dine with him, and he went in to recline.
38 No Mũfarisai ũcio ona ũguo akĩgega nĩ ũndũ Jesũ ndaambire gwĩthamba moko atanarĩa irio.
But he, the Pharisha, when he saw him, wondered that he had not first washed before his dinner.
39 Nake Mwathani akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ Afarisai mũthambagia gĩkombe na thaani mwena wa na igũrũ, no thĩinĩ wanyu mũiyũrĩtwo nĩ ũkoroku na waganu.
But Jeshu said to him, Now you Pharishee cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but within you are full of rapine and wickedness.
40 Inyuĩ irimũ ici! Githĩ ũrĩa wombire mwena wa na nja to we wombire mwena wa na thĩinĩ?
Wanting in understanding! did not he who made that which is without, make also that which is within?
41 No rĩrĩ, heagai athĩĩni kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa thaani, na hĩndĩ ĩyo indo ciothe nĩigũtuĩka theru harĩ inyuĩ.”
But of whatever there is, give in alms, and, behold, every thing is clean to you.
42 “Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ Afarisai-ĩ! Tondũ mũrutagĩra Ngai gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi gĩa terere, na togotia na nyeni cia mĩthemba yothe no mũkaaga kũrũmbũiya kĩhooto na wendani wa Ngai. Mwaagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkaga maũndũ macio mũtegũtiganĩria macio mangĩ ma mbere.
But woe to you, Pharishee! for you tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of Aloha. These hath it behoved you to do, and those not to have omitted.
43 “Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ Afarisai-ĩ! Tondũ mwendaga gũikarĩra itĩ iria cia mbere thunagogi-inĩ na mũgeithagio mũrĩ ndũnyũ-inĩ.
Woe to you, Pharishee! for you love the chief seats in the assemblies, and the salutation in the public places.
44 “Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ, tondũ mũtariĩ ta mbĩrĩra itarĩ rũũri iria andũ mageragĩra igũrũ rĩacio matekũmenya.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! for you are like tombs that are not known, and men walk upon them, and do not know.
45 Mũrutani ũmwe wa Watho akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, rĩrĩa ũkwaria maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩũratũruma o na ithuĩ.”
And one of the Sophree answered and said to him, Doctor, while you say these things, you vilify us also!
46 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ arutani a Watho kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Tondũ mũkuuithagia andũ mĩrigo mĩritũ ĩrĩa matangĩhota gũkuua, na inyuĩ ene mũtingĩmĩhutia o na kaara kamwe mũmateithie.
But he said, Also unto you, Sophree, woe! because you lade men with heavy burdens, and you with one of your fingers will not touch those burdens.
47 “Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Tondũ mwakagĩra anabii mbĩrĩra, o arĩa mooragirwo nĩ maithe manyu ma tene.
Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed:
48 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũgakĩruta ũira atĩ nĩmwĩtĩkanĩtie na ũrĩa maithe manyu meekire; atĩ nĩo mooragire anabii, na inyuĩ mũkamaakĩra mbĩrĩra.
thus you bear witness that you consent in the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their sepulchres.
49 Tondũ wa ũguo ũũgĩ wa Ngai uugĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngamatũmĩra anabii na atũmwo, moorage amwe ao na manyariire arĩa angĩ.’
ON this account also Wisdom saith, Behold, I will send to them prophets and apostles; and of them they will persecute and kill;
50 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rũciaro rũrũ nĩrũgaciirithĩrio thakame ya anabii othe ĩrĩa yanaitwo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria gĩa thĩ,
that the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the creation of the world may be required from this generation.
51 kuuma thakame ya Habili nginya thakame ya Zekaria ũrĩa woragĩirwo gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kĩgongona na handũ harĩa hatheru. Ĩĩ nĩguo, ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, rũciaro rũrũ nĩrũkaherithĩrio thakame ĩyo.
From the blood of Habil unto the blood of Zakaria who was killed between the temple and the altar: yes, I tell you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 “Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ arutani a watho-ĩ! Tondũ nĩmweheretie kĩhingũro kĩa ũmenyo. Inyuĩ ene mũtiigana gũtoonya, na arĩa marenda gũtoonya mũkamagiria.”
Woe to you, Sophree; for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you enter not in (yourselves), and they who are entering you prohibit.
53 Jesũ aarĩkia kuuma kũu, Afarisai na arutani a watho makĩambĩrĩria kũmũkararia marĩ na ũũru mũno na kũmũũgita na kũmũũria ciũria nĩguo aarie maũndũ maingĩ,
And while he spoke these (words) to them, the Sophree and Pharishee began to be displeased, and they were wrathful, and controverted his words, and enticed him on many (points),
54 makĩgeria kũmũtega maigue kana nĩ harĩ ũndũ mũũrũ angĩaria.
seeking to lay hold on something from his mouth that they might be able to accuse him.
