Luka 13
1 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ amwe maarĩ ho hĩndĩ ĩyo, arĩa meerire Jesũ ũhoro wa andũ a Galili arĩa mooragĩtwo nĩ Pilato makĩruta magongona, nayo thakame yao igĩtukana na ya nyamũ cia magongona mao.
NOW at that time came some and told him of the Galiloyee, they whose blood Pilatos had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Anga mũgwĩciiria atĩ andũ acio maanyariirirwo ũguo tondũ acio maarĩ ehia gũkĩra andũ acio angĩ othe a Galili?
Jeshu answered and said to them, Think you that these Galiloyee were sinners more than all the Galiloyee, that thus it was (with) them?
3 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, aca! No rĩrĩ, mwaga kwĩrira, o na inyuĩ inyuothe mũkaniinwo o tao.
No; but I tell you that all of you also, if you repent not, will thus perish.
4 Kana andũ arĩa ikũmi na anana, arĩa magwĩrĩirwo nĩ nyũmba ĩrĩa ndaaya kũu itũũra rĩa Siloamu ĩkĩmooraga-rĩ, anga mũgwĩciiria atĩ maarĩ na mahĩtia maingĩ gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe maatũũraga kũu Jerusalemu?
Or those eighteen on whom fell the tower in Silucha, and killed them; think you that they were sinners above all men who dwell in Urishlem?
5 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, aca! No rĩrĩ, mwaga kwĩrira, o na inyuĩ inyuothe mũkaaniinwo o tao.”
No; but I tell you that, if you repent not, all of you likewise shall perish.
6 Agĩcooka akĩmaarĩria na ngerekano, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũmwe aarĩ na mũkũyũ wahandĩtwo thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda wake wa mĩthabibũ, nake agĩthiĩ gũcaria maciaro mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio, no ndaigana kuona ngũyũ o na ĩmwe.
And he spake this parable: A man had a fig-tree which was planted in his vinery: and he came and sought fruits on it, but did not find.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, akĩĩra mũruti wa wĩra wa mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩu nĩ mĩaka ĩtatũ njũkaga gũcaria maciaro mũkũyũ-inĩ, ũyũ na ndirĩ ndoona ngũyũ o na ĩmwe. Ũteme! Ũũthũkagĩria mũgũnda nĩkĩ?’
And he said to the husbandman, Behold, three years come I seeking fruits from this fig-tree, but I have not found: cut it down; why maketh it the ground useless?
8 “No mũndũ ũcio akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi ũyũ, nĩtũreke ũikare mwaka ũngĩ ũmwe, ndĩũrĩmĩre na ndĩwĩkĩre thumu.
The husbandman saith to him, My lord, suffer it also this year, until I tend it and manure it:
9 Naguo ũngĩciara hĩndĩ ĩyo, nĩ wega! No ũngĩaga gũciara, no ũtemwo.’”
and if it produce fruits, (well): but if not, then afterwards I will cut it down.
10 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe wa Thabatũ, Jesũ nĩkũrutana aarutanaga thĩinĩ wa thunagogi ĩmwe,
AS Jeshu was teaching on a shabath in one of the synagogues,
11 nakuo gũgĩkorwo nĩ kwarĩ na mũtumia wonjetio nĩ ngoma thũku mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana. Atũire ainamĩrĩire atekũhota gwĩtiira o na hanini.
a woman was there who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed down, and could not be straight at all.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aamuonire, akĩmwĩta, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ nĩwohorwo kuuma kũrĩ wonje waku.”
But Jeshu saw her, and called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Agĩcooka akĩmũigĩrĩra moko, na kahinda o kau agĩĩtiira, na akĩgooca Ngai.
And he laid his hand upon her; and at once she was made straight, and glorified Aloha.
14 Nake mũnene wa thunagogi akĩrakara mũno nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ kũhonania mũthenya wa Thabatũ. Nake akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “He na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ ya kũruta wĩra. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũkagai kũhonio mĩthenya ĩyo, no ti mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
But the chief of the synagogue answered, being angry that Jeshu had healed on the shabath, and said to the congregation, Six days there are in which it is lawful to work: in them come and be healed, and not on the day of shabath.
15 Nowe Mwathani akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ hinga ici! Githĩ o mũndũ wanyu ndohoraga ndegwa yake kana ndigiri yake yume kiugũ mũthenya wa Thabatũ, amĩtware ĩthiĩ ĩkanyue maaĩ?
But Jeshu answered and said to him, Hypocrite, doth not any one of you on the shabath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and going giveth to drink?
16 Nake mũtumia ũyũ mwarĩ wa Iburahĩmu, ũrĩa ũtũire ohetwo nĩ Shaitani mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana; ndakĩagĩrĩrwo nĩ kuohorwo o na kũrĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
But this daughter of Abraham, whom, behold, the Accuser hath bound eighteen years, is it not lawful to loose from this binding on the day of shabath?
17 Rĩrĩa oigire ũguo, thũ ciake ciothe igĩconoka, no kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩa andũ gĩgĩkena nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ ma magegania marĩa eekaga.
And as he said these things, ashamed were all they who had risen up against him; and all the people rejoiced in all these wonders that were done by his hand.
18 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wa Ngai ũhaanaine na kĩ? Na ngũũgerekania na kĩĩ?
Jeshu said, What doth the kingdom of Aloha resemble, and to what shall I compare it?
19 Ũhaana ta mbeũ ya karatarĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ oire akĩhaanda mũgũnda wake. Igĩkũra ĩgĩtuĩka mũtĩ, nacio nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ igĩũka igĩaka itara honge-inĩ ciaguo.”
It resembles a grain of mustard, which a man took (and) cast into his garden: and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowl of the heaven built in its branches.
20 Ningĩ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩgerekania ũthamaki wa Ngai na kĩĩ?
Jeshu said again, To what shall I compare the kingdom of Aloha?
21 Ũhaana ta ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ooire na akĩmĩtukania na mũtu mũingĩ, o nginya wothe ũkĩimba.”
It is like leaven which a woman took; (and) hid in three satas of meal, until all had leavened.
22 Nake Jesũ agĩthiĩ ahĩtũkĩire matũũra-inĩ na tũtũũra-inĩ akĩrutanaga erekeire Jerusalemu.
And he journeyed, teaching in the villages and in the cities, and going forwards to Urishlem.
23 Nake mũndũ ũmwe akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani anga no andũ anini tu makahonokio?” Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
ONE had demanded (of) him if they are few who are saved. But Jeshu said to them,
24 “Geragiai na hinya gũtoonyera mũrango ũrĩa mũceke; tondũ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ nĩ makaageria gũtoonya, no matikahota.
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for I say to you that many will seek to enter in, but shall not be able.
25 Rĩrĩa mwene nyũmba agaakorwo okĩrĩte na ahinge mũrango-rĩ, mũkaarũgama hau nja mũkĩringaringaga mũrango mũkĩmũthaithaga, mũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi witũ, tũhingũrĩre mũrango.’ “Nake nĩakamũcookeria amwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndimũũĩ o na ndiũĩ kũrĩa muumĩte.’
From the hour that the Lord of the house shall have risen up and have shut the door, you may stand without, knocking at the door, and may begin to say, Our Lord, our Lord, open to us! But he will answer and say, I tell you that I know not whence you are.
26 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtwarĩĩanagĩra na tũkanyuuanĩra nawe, o na nĩwarutanaga njĩra-inĩ cia matũũra maitũ.’
And you shall begin to say, Before thee we have eaten and drunk, and in our streets thou hast taught.
27 “Nowe nĩakamacookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndimũũĩ, o na ndiũĩ kũrĩa muumĩte. Njehererai, inyuĩ inyuothe mwĩkaga ũũru!’
And he shall say to you, I know you not whence you are: depart from me, workers of falsity.
28 “Kũu nĩgũkagĩa na kĩrĩro, na kũhagarania magego, rĩrĩa mũkoona Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, na anabii othe marĩ ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai, no inyuĩ mũkorwo mũikĩtio nja.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Ishok and Jakub and all the prophets in the kingdom of Aloha, but you be cast forth without.
29 Nao andũ nĩmagooka kuuma mwena wa irathĩro, na wa ithũĩro, na wa gathigathini, na wa gũthini, maikare thĩ iruga-inĩ kũu ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.
And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the south, and from the north, and shall recline in the kingdom of Aloha.
30 No ti-itherũ, nĩ kũrĩ andũ marĩ thuutha magaatuĩka a mbere, na nĩ kũrĩ a mbere magaatuĩka a thuutha.”
And, behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.
31 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai amwe magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Uma gũkũ ũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ. Herode nĩarenda gũkũũragithia.”
In that day came men from the Pharishee, saying to him, Remove, go from hence, because Herodes desireth to kill thee.
32 Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkeere mbwe ĩyo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũmũthĩ na rũciũ ngũkorwo ngĩingata ndaimono na ngĩhonia andũ, na mũthenya wa ĩtatũ ndĩĩkie wĩra wakwa.’
Jeshu saith to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected.
33 O na kũrĩ ũguo, ũmũthĩ na rũciũ o na oke no nginya ngorwo ngĩthiĩ o na mbere, nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ gũtirĩ mũnabii ũngĩkuĩra nja ya Jerusalemu!
Nevertheless it behoveth me to-day and to-morrow to work and the (day) after I shall go; because it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Urishlem.
34 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Jerusalemu, Jerusalemu, wee ũragaga anabii, na ũkahũũra na mahiga nyuguto arĩa matũmĩtwo kũrĩ we, nĩ maita maingĩ atĩa ndanenda gũcookanĩrĩria ciana ciaku hamwe o ta ũrĩa ngũkũ ĩcookanagĩrĩria tũcui twayo mathagu-inĩ mayo, no ndũnjĩtĩkagĩria!
Urishlem, Urishlem! killing the prophets, and stoning them that are sent to her, what times would I have gathered thy sons as the hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and you willed not!
35 Atĩrĩrĩ, nyũmba yaku ĩiyũrĩte ihooru. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũtikanyona rĩngĩ o nginya rĩrĩa mũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani.’”
Behold, left to you is your house a desert; for I say to you, that you will not see me until you shall say, Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord.
