< Luka 5 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ arũngiĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩa Genesareti, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ aingĩ nĩkĩahatĩkanaga kĩmũkuhĩrĩrie nĩguo gĩthikĩrĩrie ũhoro wa Ngai,
And it came to pass, that when the multitudes pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Genesareth,
2 nake akĩona tũtarũ twĩrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩu, tũtigĩtwo ho nĩ ategi a thamaki, arĩa maathambagia neti ciao cia gũtega.
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Agĩtoonya gatarũ kamwe, nako kaarĩ ga Simoni, akĩmũthaitha agatoonyatoonyie maaĩ-inĩ, kehere hũgũrũrũ-inĩ. Agĩcooka agĩikara thĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũruta andũ ũhoro arĩ gatarũ-inĩ kau.
And going into one of the ships that was Simon’s, he desired him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting he taught the multitudes out of the ship.
4 Na aarĩkia kwaria, akĩĩra Simoni atĩrĩ, “Twara gatarũ haarĩa hariku, mũikũrũkie neti maaĩ-inĩ, mũtege thamaki.”
Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Nake Simoni akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi witũ, tũrutĩte wĩra mũritũ ũtukũ wothe, na tũtinanyiita kĩndũ o na kĩ. No tondũ nĩwoiga ũguo-rĩ, nĩngũikũrũkia neti.”
And Simon answering said to him: Master, we have labored all the night, and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net.
6 Maarĩkia gwĩka ũguo, makĩnyiita thamaki nyingĩ mũno, nginya neti ciao ikĩambĩrĩria gũtuĩka.
And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great multitude of fishes, and their net broke.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩheneria arĩa maarutithanagia wĩra nao, arĩa maarĩ gatarũ kau kangĩ moke mamateithie, nao magĩũka makĩiyũria tũtarũ twerĩ ki, o nginya tũkĩambĩrĩria gũtoonyerera maaĩ-inĩ.
And they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were almost sinking.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Simoni Petero onire ũguo, akĩĩgũithia maru-inĩ ma Jesũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Njeherera Mwathani; niĩ ndĩ mũndũ mwĩhia!”
Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 Nĩgũkorwo we na arĩa othe maarĩ nao nĩmagegire mũno nĩ ũndũ wa thamaki iria maanyiitĩte,
For he was wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken.
10 o na Jakubu na Johana, ariũ a Zebedi, arĩa maarutithanagia wĩra na Simoni nĩmagegire. Nake Jesũ akĩĩra Simoni atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra; kuuma rĩu ũrĩtegaga andũ.”
And so were also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners. And Jesus saith to Simon: Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumĩria tũtarũ twao hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, magĩtiga indo ciao ciothe, makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And having brought their ships to land, leaving all things, they followed him.
12 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe-rĩ, nĩguokire mũndũ waiyũrĩtwo nĩ mangũ mwĩrĩ wothe. Na rĩrĩa onire Jesũ, akĩĩgũithia, agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ, akĩmũthaitha, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũngĩenda-rĩ, no ũũtherie.”
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy, who seeing Jesus, and falling on his face, besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 Jesũ agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake, akĩhutia mũndũ ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩngwenda. Therio!” Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩhonio mangũ.
And stretching forth his hand, he touched him, saying: I will. Be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmũkaania, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkeere mũndũ o na ũ, no thiĩ, ũkeyonanie kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ũrute magongona marĩa Musa aathanire nĩ ũndũ wa gũtherio gwaku, arĩ ũira kũrĩ o.”
And he charged him that he should tell no man, but, Go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
15 Na rĩrĩ, ngumo yake ĩgĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhunja makĩria, o nginya kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ ma kĩa andũ gĩgĩũka kũmũthikĩrĩria na kũhonio mĩrimũ yao.
But the fame of him went abroad the more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 No Jesũ nĩeheragĩra andũ, agathiĩ kũndũ gũtarĩ andũ kũhoera Ngai kuo.
And he retired into the desert, and prayed.
17 Mũthenya ũmwe nĩ kũrutana aarutanaga, nao Afarisai na arutani a watho arĩa mookĩte kuuma matũũra mothe ma Galili, na Judea, na Jerusalemu, maikarĩte thĩ hau. Naguo hinya wa Ngai wa kũhonania warĩ hamwe na Jesũ.
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he sat teaching, that there were also Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, that were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was to heal them.
18 Na rĩrĩ, nĩhookire andũ makuuĩte mũndũ na kĩbarĩ, warũarĩte mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, nao makĩgeria kũmũtoonyia nyũmba mamũige harĩ Jesũ.
And behold, men brought in a bed a man, who had the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 Na rĩrĩa maagire njĩra ya gwĩka ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa ũingĩ wa andũ, makĩhaica nyũmba-igũrũ magĩtharia maturubarĩ, makĩmũikũrũkĩria mwanya-inĩ ũcio o arĩ kĩbarĩ-inĩ, nginya gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio makĩmũiga o hau Jesũ aarĩ.
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up upon the roof, and let him down through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus.
20 Rĩrĩa Jesũ onire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrata, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
Whose faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 Nao Afarisai na arutani a watho makĩambĩrĩria gwĩciiria ngoro-inĩ ciao, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũndũ ũyũ arĩ ũ, ũkũruma Ngai? Nũũ ũngĩhota kũrekanĩra mehia, tiga Ngai we wiki?”
And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 Nowe Jesũ nĩamenyaga ũrĩa meeciiragia na akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũreciiria maũndũ macio ngoro-inĩ cianyu nĩkĩ?
And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering, he said to them: What is it you think in your hearts?
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mũhũthũ; nĩ kwĩra mũndũ, ‘Nĩwarekerwo mehia maku,’ kana nĩ kũmwĩra, ‘Ũkĩra wĩtware’?
Which is easier to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
24 No nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ arĩ na ũhoti gũkũ thĩ wa kũrekanĩra mehia-rĩ ….” Akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Ndakwĩra atĩrĩ, ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, ũinũke.”
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy, ) I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
25 O hau hau akĩrũgama mbere yao, akĩoya kĩbarĩ kĩrĩa akomeire, na akĩinũka mũciĩ akĩgoocaga Ngai.
And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay; and he went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 Nao andũ othe nĩmagegire na magĩkumia Ngai. Makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩtuonete maũndũ tũtarĩ tuona.”
And all were astonished; and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful things today.
27 Thuutha wa ũguo, Jesũ akiumagara na akĩona mũndũ warĩ mwĩtia wa mbeeca cia igooti wetagwo Lawi aikarĩte harĩa heetagĩrio mbeeca cia igooti. Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra.”
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and he said to him: Follow me.
28 Nake Lawi agĩũkĩra, agĩtiga indo ciake ciothe, akĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And leaving all things, he rose up and followed him.
29 Lawi agĩcooka akĩrugithĩria Jesũ iruga inene gwake mũciĩ, na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa etia mbeeca cia igooti o na andũ angĩ nĩmarĩĩanagĩra nao.
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others, that were at table with them.
30 No Afarisai na arutani a watho arĩa maarĩ a gĩkundi kĩao magĩtetia arutwo ake makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩĩanagĩra na mũkanyuuanĩra na etia mbeeca cia igooti na andũ ehia nĩkĩ?”
But the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa agima mĩĩrĩ tio mabataragio nĩ ndagĩtarĩ, no nĩ arĩa arũaru.
And Jesus answering, said to them: They that are whole, need not the physician: but they that are sick.
32 Niĩ ndiokire gwĩta andũ arĩa athingu, no nĩ arĩa ehia, nĩguo merire.”
I came not to call the just, but sinners to penance.
33 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Arutwo a Johana nĩ meehingaga kũrĩa irio kaingĩ kaingĩ makahooya, o nao arutwo a Afarisai nĩmekaga o ũguo, no aku marĩĩaga na makanyua hĩndĩ ciothe.”
And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees in like manner; but thine eat and drink?
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “No mwĩre ageni a mũhikania mehinge kũrĩa rĩrĩa e hamwe nao?
To whom he said: Can you make the children of the bridegroom fast, whilst the bridegroom is with them?
35 No rĩrĩ, ihinda nĩrĩgakinya rĩrĩa mũhikania akeeherio kuuma kũrĩ o; matukũ-inĩ macio-rĩ, nĩ makeehinga kũrĩa irio.”
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then shall they fast in those days.
36 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩmahe ũhoro na ngerekano ĩno, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩtinia kĩraka kuuma harĩ nguo njerũ, agĩĩkĩre nguo ngũrũ. Angĩĩka ũguo, angĩkorwo atarũrĩte nguo njerũ, nakĩo kĩraka kĩu kĩa nguo ĩyo njerũ kĩage kwagĩrĩra nguo ĩyo ngũrũ.
And he spoke also a similitude to them: That no man putteth a piece from a new garment upon an old garment; otherwise he both rendeth the new, and the piece taken from the new agreeth not with the old.
37 Ningĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkagĩra ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ ngũrũ. Angĩka ũguo, ndibei ĩyo ya mũhihano no ĩtarũre mondo icio, ndibei ĩyo ĩitĩke, nacio mondo icio itarũkange.
And no man putteth new wine into old bottle: otherwise the new wine will break the bottles, and it will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost.
38 Aca, ti ta ũguo, ndibei ya mũhihano no nginya ĩĩkĩrwo mondo-inĩ njerũ.
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 O na gũtirĩ mũndũ thuutha wa kũnyua ndibei ngũrũ ũcookaga kwenda ndibei ĩyo ya mũhihano, nĩ ũndũ oigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩrĩa ngũrũ nĩyo njega.’”
And no man drinking old, hath presently a mind to new: for he saith, The old is better.
