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 spoke to His disciples, It is impossible for offenses not to come: but woe unto him, through 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 is good for him if a millstone is hung around his neck, and he is cast into the sea, rather than that he may offend one of these little ones.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte. “Mũrũ wa thoguo kana mwarĩ wa thoguo angĩĩhia, mũkaanie, na angĩĩrira-rĩ, mũrekere.
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother may sin, rebuke him; if he may repent, forgive him.
4 Angĩkwĩhĩria maita mũgwanja o mũthenya ũmwe, na maita macio mothe mũgwanja agooka harĩ we agakwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndahera,’ nĩ wega ũmũrekere.”
But if he may sin against thee seven times a day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 Nao atũmwo makĩĩra Mwathani atĩrĩ, “Tuongerere wĩtĩkio!”
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
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 you have faith as a grain of mustard seed. you should say to this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up, and planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
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 one of you, having a servant plowing or serving a shepherd, who will say to him, having come in from the field, Coming hither sit down immediately?
8 Githĩ to amĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Thondekera irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, na wĩhaarĩrie ũnjikarie ngĩrĩa na ngĩnyua; na thuutha ũcio no ũrĩe na ũnyue’?
But will he not say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and girding thyself, minister unto me, until I may eat and drink; and after these things you eat and drink?
9 Ningĩ no agĩcookerie ndungata ĩyo ngaatho nĩ gwĩka ũrĩa ĩĩrĩtwo ĩĩke?
Whether does he thank the servant because he did the things which were commanded?
10 Ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ, rĩrĩa mweka ũrĩa wothe mwĩrĩtwo mwĩke, ugagai atĩrĩ, ‘Tũrĩ o ndungata itarĩ kĩene; twaruta o wĩra witũ tu.’”
Likewise also, when you may do those things which are commanded you, say that, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ arĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwa gũthiĩ Jerusalemu nĩagereire mũhaka-inĩ wa Samaria na Galili.
And it came to pass, while He was journeying to Jerusalem, and He was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Na rĩrĩa aatoonyaga gatũũra kamwe, agĩtũngwo nĩ andũ ikũmi maarĩ na mũrimũ wa mangũ. Makĩrũgama o haraaya,
He coming into a certain village, ten lepers met Him, who stood afar off;
13 makĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ, Mwathi witũ, tũiguĩre tha!”
and lifting up their voice, saying, Thou, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamoonire, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkeyonanie kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.” Na rĩrĩa maathiiaga-rĩ, magĩtherio.
And seeing, He said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priest. And it came to pass while they were going, they were cleansed:
15 Rĩrĩa ũmwe wao onire nĩahonio, akĩhũndũka akĩgooca Ngai na mũgambo mũnene,
and one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God,
16 Akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma Jesũ, akĩmũcookeria ngaatho. Mũndũ ũcio aarĩ Mũsamaria.
and he fell upon his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ othe ikũmi matiatherio? Acio angĩ kenda marĩ ha?
And Jesus responding said, Were not the ten cleansed?
18 Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũngĩcooka kũhe Ngai ũgooci tiga o mũgeni ũyũ?”
Where are the nine? And they were not found returning to give thanks to God, except this one foreigner.
19 Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra wĩthiĩre; gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone.”
And He said to him, having arisen, go: thy faith hath saved thee.
20 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe Afarisai nĩmoririe Jesũ rĩrĩa ũthamaki wa Ngai ũgooka. Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wa Ngai ndũũkaga na imenyithia iria mũngĩĩrorera,
Then being interrogated by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God is coming, He responded to them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:
21 kana andũ moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩ haha,’ kana ‘Ũrĩ harĩa,’ tondũ ũthamaki wa Ngai ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.”
neither will they say; Lo, here! or, there! for behold, 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 the disciples, The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and will not see it.
23 Andũ nĩmakamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Arĩ harĩa!’ kana ‘Arĩ haha!’ Mũtikanatengʼere mũmarũmĩrĩre.
And they will say to you, Lo, here! lo, there! go not away, nor follow 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 the lightning, flashing out of the one part under the heaven, gleams into the other part under heaven, so shall be the Son of man in His day.
25 No rĩrĩ, no nginya ambe one mathĩĩna maingĩ na aregwo nĩ andũ a rũciaro rũrũ.
But it behooves Him first to suffer many things and to be set at nought 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 it will be in the days 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 eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were getting married, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “Ningĩ ũguo noguo gwatariĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Loti. Andũ acio maakorirwo makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, na makĩgũra na makĩendia, na makĩhaanda na magĩaka nyũmba.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
29 No mũthenya ũrĩa Loti oimire Sodomu, mwaki na ũbiriti ikiura ta mbura kuuma igũrũ, ikĩmaniina othe.
and on the day on which Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “Ũguo noguo gũkahaana mũthenya ũrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akaaguũranĩrio.
According to these things it will be in the day the Son of man is revealed.
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.
In that day, let not him who is on the house, and his goods in the house, come down to take them: and likewise let not him who is in the field turn back.
32 Ta ririkanai mũtumia wa Loti!
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgeragia gũtũũria muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo, nake ũrĩa wothe ũũragwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩakaũtũũria.
Whosoever may seek to save his soul shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall find it.
34 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũcio andũ eerĩ nĩmagakorwo makomete ũrĩrĩ ũmwe, nake ũmwe wao akuuo, na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
I say unto you, on that night two men shall be on one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left.
35 Atumia eerĩ nĩmagakorwo magĩthĩa hamwe; ũmwe wao akuuo, na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
Two women shall be grinding at the same mill; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
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.”
Responding they say to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will also be gathered together.
