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, as the multitude were thronging upon him, in order to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:
2 nake akĩona tũtarũ twĩrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩu, tũtigĩtwo ho nĩ ategi a thamaki, arĩa maathambagia neti ciao cia gũtega.
and he saw two vessels a-ground near the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and 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.
Then he went on board one of the vessels, which was Simon’s, and desired him to put off a little from the land: and sitting down, he taught the multitudes out of the vessel.
4 Na aarĩkia kwaria, akĩĩra Simoni atĩrĩ, “Twara gatarũ haarĩa hariku, mũikũrũkie neti maaĩ-inĩ, mũtege thamaki.”
And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Go off into deep water, and shoot 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 unto him, Sir, we have been toiling all night, and have taken nothing: but at thy command I will shoot the net.
6 Maarĩkia gwĩka ũguo, makĩnyiita thamaki nyingĩ mũno, nginya neti ciao ikĩambĩrĩria gũtuĩka.
And having done so, they inclosed a prodigious multitude of fishes; and their net was broken.
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 made signals to their partners in the other vessels, that they should come to their assistance. And they came, and filled both the vessels, so that they were ready to founder.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Simoni Petero onire ũguo, akĩĩgũithia maru-inĩ ma Jesũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Njeherera Mwathani; niĩ ndĩ mũndũ mwĩhia!”
Then Simon Peter seeing it, fell down on his knees before Jesus, saying, Go 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 amazement had seized on him, and on all who were with him, at the draught of 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.”
as also on James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: henceforward thou shalt catch men.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumĩria tũtarũ twao hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, magĩtiga indo ciao ciothe, makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And when they had brought their vessels on shore, they left all, and 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 as he was just at one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy! and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and 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 he stretching out his hand touched him, saying, I will: be thou cleansed. And instantly 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 commanded him to tell no man: but go shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, as Moses enjoined, for a testimony unto them.
15 Na rĩrĩ, ngumo yake ĩgĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhunja makĩria, o nginya kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ ma kĩa andũ gĩgĩũka kũmũthikĩrĩria na kũhonio mĩrimũ yao.
Now the discourse concerning him more and more spread through the country: and vast multitudes came together to hear him, and to be cured by him of their disorders.
16 No Jesũ nĩeheragĩra andũ, agathiĩ kũndũ gũtarĩ andũ kũhoera Ngai kuo.
But he himself was in the desert for retirement and prayer.
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 on a certain day it happened that he was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees, and doctors of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord for healing them was exercised.
18 Na rĩrĩ, nĩhookire andũ makuuĩte mũndũ na kĩbarĩ, warũarĩte mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, nao makĩgeria kũmũtoonyia nyũmba mamũige harĩ Jesũ.
And behold, men carried on a couch a man who was a paralytic; and sought to bring him into the house, and to place 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 not discovering by what means they could introduce him, because of the crowd, they went up to the roof, and through the tiling let him down with his little couch into the midst, before Jesus.
20 Rĩrĩa Jesũ onire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrata, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
And seeing their faith, he saith to him, 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 reason, saying, Who is this that 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 Jesus knowing their reasoning, in reply said to them, Why do ye reason in your hearts?
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mũhũthũ; nĩ kwĩra mũndũ, ‘Nĩwarekerwo mehia maku,’ kana nĩ kũmwĩra, ‘Ũkĩra wĩtware’?
for which is the easier? to say, Thy sins are forgiven; 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 ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the paralytic, ) I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house.
25 O hau hau akĩrũgama mbere yao, akĩoya kĩbarĩ kĩrĩa akomeire, na akĩinũka mũciĩ akĩgoocaga Ngai.
And instantly he rose up before them, took up that on which he had lain, and went away to his house, giving glory to God.
26 Nao andũ othe nĩmagegire na magĩkumia Ngai. Makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩtuonete maũndũ tũtarĩ tuona.”
And an extacy of admiration seized upon them all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with awe, saying, We have seen wondrously strange things to-day.
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 out, and saw a farmer of the taxes, named Levi, sitting at the custom-house: and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 Nake Lawi agĩũkĩra, agĩtiga indo ciake ciothe, akĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And leaving all behind, he rose, 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 entertainment at his house and there was a great number of publicans and others, sitting 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?”
And their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye 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 unto them, They who are well, have no need of a physician: but they who have illness.
32 Niĩ ndiokire gwĩta andũ arĩa athingu, no nĩ arĩa ehia, nĩguo merire.”
I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to repentance.
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.”
Then said they unto him, Why do the disciples of John observe frequent fasts, and make prayers; but thine are eating and drinking?
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “No mwĩre ageni a mũhikania mehinge kũrĩa rĩrĩa e hamwe nao?
And he said unto them, Can you make the children of the bridechamber fast, as long as 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.
Then he spake a parable unto them, No man putteth a patch of new cloth on an old garment; but if otherwise, both the new makes a rent, and the patch from the new is not of a piece 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 bottles; for if he doth, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it will itself be spilled, and the bottles be destroyed.
38 Aca, ti ta ũguo, ndibei ya mũhihano no nginya ĩĩkĩrwo mondo-inĩ njerũ.
But new wine should be put into new bottles; then 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 wine, immediately desires new: for he saith, The old is better.
