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!
He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of sins ·scandals, trap snares, entrapments· should come, but woe to 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 would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte. “Mũrũ wa thoguo kana mwarĩ wa thoguo angĩĩhia, mũkaanie, na angĩĩrira-rĩ, mũrekere.
Be careful. If your brother commits sin ·miss the mark and be without share· against you, rebuke him. If he makes teshuvah ·complete repentance·, forgive him.
4 Angĩkwĩhĩria maita mũgwanja o mũthenya ũmwe, na maita macio mothe mũgwanja agooka harĩ we agakwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndahera,’ nĩ wega ũmũrekere.”
If he commits sin ·miss the mark and be without share· against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I make teshuvah ·complete repentance·,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 Nao atũmwo makĩĩra Mwathani atĩrĩ, “Tuongerere wĩtĩkio!”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our trusting 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.
The Lord said, “If you had trusting faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be 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 who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’
8 Githĩ to amĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Thondekera irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, na wĩhaarĩrie ũnjikarie ngĩrĩa na ngĩnyua; na thuutha ũcio no ũrĩe na ũnyue’?
and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
9 Ningĩ no agĩcookerie ndungata ĩyo ngaatho nĩ gwĩka ũrĩa ĩĩrĩtwo ĩĩke?
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ, rĩrĩa mweka ũrĩa wothe mwĩrĩtwo mwĩke, ugagai atĩrĩ, ‘Tũrĩ o ndungata itarĩ kĩene; twaruta o wĩra witũ tu.’”
Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
11 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ arĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwa gũthiĩ Jerusalemu nĩagereire mũhaka-inĩ wa Samaria na Galili.
As he was on his way to Jerusalem [City of peace], he was passing along the borders of Samaria [Watch-mountain] and Galilee [District, Circuit].
12 Na rĩrĩa aatoonyaga gatũũra kamwe, agĩtũngwo nĩ andũ ikũmi maarĩ na mũrimũ wa mangũ. Makĩrũgama o haraaya,
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· met him, who stood at a distance.
13 makĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ, Mwathi witũ, tũiguĩre tha!”
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua [Salvation], Rabbi ·Teacher·, have mercy on us!”
14 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamoonire, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkeyonanie kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.” Na rĩrĩa maathiiaga-rĩ, magĩtherio.
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15 Rĩrĩa ũmwe wao onire nĩahonio, akĩhũndũka akĩgooca Ngai na mũgambo mũnene,
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 Akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma Jesũ, akĩmũcookeria ngaatho. Mũndũ ũcio aarĩ Mũsamaria.
He fell on his face at Yeshua's [Salvation]'s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain].
17 Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ othe ikũmi matiatherio? Acio angĩ kenda marĩ ha?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũngĩcooka kũhe Ngai ũgooci tiga o mũgeni ũyũ?”
Were there none found who teshuvah ·completely returned· to give glory to God, except this stranger?”
19 Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra wĩthiĩre; gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone.”
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your trusting faith has healed you.”
20 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe Afarisai nĩmoririe Jesũ rĩrĩa ũthamaki wa Ngai ũgooka. Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wa Ngai ndũũkaga na imenyithia iria mũngĩĩrorera,
Being asked by the Pharisees [Separated] when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom does not come with observation;
21 kana andũ moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩ haha,’ kana ‘Ũrĩ harĩa,’ tondũ ũthamaki wa Ngai ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.”
neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
22 Agĩcooka akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ihinda nĩrĩroka rĩrĩa mũkeriragĩria kuona mũthenya ũmwe wa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ, no mũtikawona.
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 you will not see it.
23 Andũ nĩmakamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Arĩ harĩa!’ kana ‘Arĩ haha!’ Mũtikanatengʼere mũmarũmĩrĩre.
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow 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 the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 No rĩrĩ, no nginya ambe one mathĩĩna maingĩ na aregwo nĩ andũ a rũciaro rũrũ.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “O ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Nuhu, noguo gũkaahaana matukũ-inĩ ma Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
As it was in the days of Noah [Rest], even so will it be also 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 ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah [Rest] entered into the ship, 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, even as it was in the days of Lot [Veil, Covering]: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 No mũthenya ũrĩa Loti oimire Sodomu, mwaki na ũbiriti ikiura ta mbura kuuma igũrũ, ikĩmaniina othe.
but in the day that Lot [Veil, Covering] went out from Sodom [Burning], Yahweh caused it to rain fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 “Ũguo noguo gũkahaana mũthenya ũrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akaaguũranĩrio.
It will be the same way in the day that 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, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
32 Ta ririkanai mũtumia wa Loti!
Remember Lot [Veil, Covering]’s wife!
33 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgeragia gũtũũria muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo, nake ũrĩa wothe ũũragwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩakaũtũũria.
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
34 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũcio andũ eerĩ nĩmagakorwo makomete ũrĩrĩ ũmwe, nake ũmwe wao akuuo, na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
35 Atumia eerĩ nĩmagakorwo magĩthĩa hamwe; ũmwe wao akuuo, na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.
36 (Ningĩ arũme eerĩ nĩmagakorwo makĩruta wĩra hamwe, ũmwe wao akuuo, ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.)”
Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”
37 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kũu nĩ kũ Mwathani?” Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nderi ciũnganaga harĩa hothe harĩ kĩimba.”
They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”
