Luka 17
1 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ marĩa matũmaga andũ mehie no nginya moke, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũtũmaga maũndũ macio moke kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 Nĩ kaba mũndũ ta ũcio ohererwo ihiga rĩa gĩthĩi ngingo aikio iria-inĩ, gũkĩra atũme kamwe ga twana tũtũ tũnini keehie.
It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte. “Mũrũ wa thoguo kana mwarĩ wa thoguo angĩĩhia, mũkaanie, na angĩĩrira-rĩ, mũrekere.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 Angĩkwĩhĩria maita mũgwanja o mũthenya ũmwe, na maita macio mothe mũgwanja agooka harĩ we agakwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndahera,’ nĩ wega ũmũrekere.”
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 Nao atũmwo makĩĩra Mwathani atĩrĩ, “Tuongerere wĩtĩkio!”
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩkorwo na wĩtĩkio o mũnini ta kabegũ ga karatarĩ-rĩ, mwera mũkũyũ ũyũ atĩrĩ, ‘Kũũrũka, ũkehaande iria-inĩ,’ naguo no ũmwathĩkĩre.
And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 “Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ wanyu ũngĩkorwo arĩ na ndungata ya kũmũrĩmĩra na mũraũ kana ya kũmũrĩithĩria ngʼondu, na ndungata ĩyo yoimĩra mũgũnda amĩĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ũka ũikare thĩ ũrĩe?’
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 Githĩ to amĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Thondekera irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, na wĩhaarĩrie ũnjikarie ngĩrĩa na ngĩnyua; na thuutha ũcio no ũrĩe na ũnyue’?
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 Ningĩ no agĩcookerie ndungata ĩyo ngaatho nĩ gwĩka ũrĩa ĩĩrĩtwo ĩĩke?
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 Ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ, rĩrĩa mweka ũrĩa wothe mwĩrĩtwo mwĩke, ugagai atĩrĩ, ‘Tũrĩ o ndungata itarĩ kĩene; twaruta o wĩra witũ tu.’”
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ arĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwa gũthiĩ Jerusalemu nĩagereire mũhaka-inĩ wa Samaria na Galili.
And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 Na rĩrĩa aatoonyaga gatũũra kamwe, agĩtũngwo nĩ andũ ikũmi maarĩ na mũrimũ wa mangũ. Makĩrũgama o haraaya,
And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 makĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ, Mwathi witũ, tũiguĩre tha!”
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamoonire, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkeyonanie kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.” Na rĩrĩa maathiiaga-rĩ, magĩtherio.
And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 Rĩrĩa ũmwe wao onire nĩahonio, akĩhũndũka akĩgooca Ngai na mũgambo mũnene,
And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 Akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma Jesũ, akĩmũcookeria ngaatho. Mũndũ ũcio aarĩ Mũsamaria.
And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ othe ikũmi matiatherio? Acio angĩ kenda marĩ ha?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũngĩcooka kũhe Ngai ũgooci tiga o mũgeni ũyũ?”
Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra wĩthiĩre; gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone.”
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe Afarisai nĩmoririe Jesũ rĩrĩa ũthamaki wa Ngai ũgooka. Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wa Ngai ndũũkaga na imenyithia iria mũngĩĩrorera,
And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 kana andũ moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩ haha,’ kana ‘Ũrĩ harĩa,’ tondũ ũthamaki wa Ngai ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.”
And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 Agĩcooka akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ihinda nĩrĩroka rĩrĩa mũkeriragĩria kuona mũthenya ũmwe wa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ, no mũtikawona.
And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
23 Andũ nĩmakamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Arĩ harĩa!’ kana ‘Arĩ haha!’ Mũtikanatengʼere mũmarũmĩrĩre.
And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.
24 O ta ũrĩa rũheni rũhenũkaga rũkamũrĩka matu kuuma mũthia ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ, no taguo gũũka kwa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ gũkahaana mũthenya ũcio wake.
For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 No rĩrĩ, no nginya ambe one mathĩĩna maingĩ na aregwo nĩ andũ a rũciaro rũrũ.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 “O ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Nuhu, noguo gũkaahaana matukũ-inĩ ma Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27 Andũ acio maakorirwo makĩrĩa, na makĩnyua, na makĩhikania, na makĩhikio, o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa Nuhu aatoonyire thabina. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩguũ kĩnene gĩgĩũka gĩkĩmaniina othe.
They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28 “Ningĩ ũguo noguo gwatariĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Loti. Andũ acio maakorirwo makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, na makĩgũra na makĩendia, na makĩhaanda na magĩaka nyũmba.
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 No mũthenya ũrĩa Loti oimire Sodomu, mwaki na ũbiriti ikiura ta mbura kuuma igũrũ, ikĩmaniina othe.
But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 “Ũguo noguo gũkahaana mũthenya ũrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akaaguũranĩrio.
So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
31 Mũthenya ũcio, mũndũ o wothe ũgaakorwo arĩ nyũmba igũrũ, na indo ciake irĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ, ndakanaharũrũke gũcigĩĩra. Ningĩ o na mũndũ ũrĩa ũgaakorwo arĩ mũgũnda ndakanahũndũke agĩĩre kĩndũ.
On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Ta ririkanai mũtumia wa Loti!
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgeragia gũtũũria muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo, nake ũrĩa wothe ũũragwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩakaũtũũria.
If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũcio andũ eerĩ nĩmagakorwo makomete ũrĩrĩ ũmwe, nake ũmwe wao akuuo, na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 Atumia eerĩ nĩmagakorwo magĩthĩa hamwe; ũmwe wao akuuo, na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
36 (Ningĩ arũme eerĩ nĩmagakorwo makĩruta wĩra hamwe, ũmwe wao akuuo, ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.)”
37 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kũu nĩ kũ Mwathani?” Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nderi ciũnganaga harĩa hothe harĩ kĩimba.”
And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
