< Luka 6 >
1 Mũthenya ũmwe wa Thabatũ, Jesũ akĩgerera mĩgũnda-inĩ ya ngano, nao arutwo ake makĩambĩrĩria gũtua ngira imwe cia ngano, magĩcirigitha na moko, makĩrĩa ngano.
Now it happened on a second-first Sabbath that He was passing through the grain fields, and His disciples began to pick and eat the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
2 Afarisai amwe makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwĩke ũrĩa gũtetĩkĩrĩtio nĩ watho mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”
3 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete ũrĩa Daudi eekire, rĩrĩa we na arĩa maarĩ nake maarĩ ahũtu?
So in answer to them Jesus said: “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:
4 Aatoonyire Nyũmba ya Ngai, akĩoya na akĩrĩa mĩgate ĩrĩa yamũrĩirwo Ngai, ĩrĩa ateetĩkĩrĩtio kũrĩa nĩ watho tiga no athĩnjĩri-Ngai meetĩkĩrĩtio kũmĩrĩa, na agĩcooka akĩhe arĩa maarĩ nake ĩmwe yayo.”
how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and even gave it to those with him—that which only the priests are allowed to eat?”
5 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩwe Mwathani wa Thabatũ.”
Then He said to them, “The Son of the Man is Lord even of the Sabbath!”
6 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũngĩ wa Thabatũ nĩathiire thunagogi-inĩ, akĩrutana, nakuo nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ mwonju guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo.
Now it happened on a different Sabbath that He entered the synagogue and began to teach. Well there was a man there whose right hand was shriveled;
7 Nao Afarisai na arutani a watho nĩmacaragia ũndũ mangĩthitangĩra Jesũ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũrora mũno, mone kana nĩekũhonania mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
so the scribes and the Pharisees started watching, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against Him.
8 Nowe Jesũ, tondũ nĩamenyaga ũrĩa meeciiragia, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wonjete guoko atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra ũrũgame mbere ya andũ othe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩũkĩra akĩrũgama hau.
But He knew their thoughts and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in the center.” So he got up and stood.
9 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmũũria atĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mwĩtĩkĩrie nĩ watho mũthenya wa Thabatũ: nĩ gwĩka wega kana nĩ gwĩka ũũru, nĩ kũhonokia muoyo kana nĩ kũũniina?”
Then Jesus said to them: “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?”
10 Akĩĩhũgũra, akĩmarora othe, agĩcooka akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku.” Nake agĩĩka o ro ũguo; nakuo guoko gwake gũkĩhonio biũ.
And when He had looked around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” So he did that, and his hand was restored, as sound as the other.
11 Nao makĩrakara mũno, makĩambĩrĩria kũũrania ũrĩa mangĩĩka Jesũ.
But they were filled with rage, and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12 Mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ nĩoimagarire agĩthiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ akahooe, akĩraara akĩhooya Ngai ũtukũ wothe.
Now it happened in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.
13 Gwakĩa-rĩ, agĩĩta arutwo ake moke harĩ we, agĩthuura andũ ikũmi na eerĩ ao, akĩmatua atũmwo, nao nĩ:
When it was day He called His disciples, and from them He chose twelve, whom He also named apostles:
14 Simoni (ũrĩa aatuire Petero), na Anderea mũrũ wa nyina, na Jakubu, na Johana, na Filipu, na Baritholomayo,
Simon (whom He also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Phillip and Bartholomew,
15 na Mathayo, na Toma, na Jakubu wa Alufayo, na Simoni ũrĩa wetagwo Zelote,
Matthew and Thomas, James (the son of Alphaeus) and Simon (the one called ‘Zealot’),
16 na Judasi wa Jakubu, na Judasi Mũisikariota ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
Judas of James and Judas Iscariot (who also became ‘traitor’).
17 Nake Jesũ agĩikũrũka hamwe nao, makĩrũgama handũ haarĩ haraganu. Gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa arutwo ake kĩarĩ ho, o na andũ aingĩ mũno kuuma Judea guothe, na Jerusalemu, o na kuuma ndeere-inĩ cia Turo na Sidoni,
Then He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, also from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases,
18 nao mookĩte nĩguo mamũigue na mahonio mĩrimũ yao. Nao arĩa maanyamaragio nĩ ngoma thũku makĩhonio,
as well as those who were being harassed by unclean spirits—and they were being healed!
19 nao andũ othe makĩgeria kũmũhutia, tondũ hinya nĩwoimaga thĩinĩ wake na ũkamahonia othe.
So the whole crowd kept trying to touch Him, because power was going out from Him and was healing all.
20 Nake akĩrora arutwo ake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ athĩĩni, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩ wanyu.
Then He raised His eyes toward His disciples and said: “Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
21 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũhũũtaga rĩu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũkahũũnio. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũrarĩra rĩu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũgatheka.
Blessed are you who hunger now, because you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, because you will laugh.
22 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ mekũmũmena, na meyamũre kũrĩ inyuĩ, na mamũrume, na mathũkĩrĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
Blessed are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and heap insults on you and trash your name as ‘malignant’, for the Son of the Man's sake.
23 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũgakena na mũrũgarũge, tondũ mũcaara wanyu nĩ mũingĩ Igũrũ. Nĩgũkorwo ũguo noguo maithe mao meekire anabii.
Rejoice in that day and skip about! Because your reward really is great in Heaven; for that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
24 “No rĩrĩ, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ itonga-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra kũnyamarũrwo kwanyu.
“But woe to you who are rich! because you have already received your comfort.
25 Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ arĩa mũhũũniĩ rĩu-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũkahũũta. Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro arĩa mũratheka rĩu-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũgacakaya na mũrĩre.
Woe to you who are full! because you will go hungry. Woe to you who are presently laughing! because you will mourn and weep.
26 Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe mekũmũgaathĩrĩria-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũguo noguo maithe mao meekaga anabii a maheeni.
Woe, when all men speak well of you; for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets!
27 “No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ inyuĩ arĩa mũũthikĩrĩirie: endagai thũ cianyu, na mwĩkage wega arĩa mamũthũire,
“Further, to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you;
28 na ningĩ mũrathimage arĩa mamũrumaga, na mũhooyagĩre arĩa mamwĩkaga ũũru.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkũgũtha rũthĩa rũmwe, mũhũgũkĩrie rũu rũngĩ o naruo. Na mũndũ angĩgũtunya igooti rĩaku, ndũkamũgirie kuoya o na kanjũ yaku.
To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold the tunic as well.
30 Mũndũ o wothe angĩkũhooya kĩndũ mũhe, na mũndũ o wothe angĩoya kĩndũ gĩaku, ndũkamwĩtie.
Give to everyone who asks of you; and from him who takes away your things, do not demand them back.
31 Ĩkagai andũ arĩa angĩ o ũrĩa mũngĩenda mamwĩkage.
Yes, like you want people to treat you, that is just how you must treat them.
32 “Rĩu-rĩ, angĩkorwo mwendete o arĩa mamwendete-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? O na ‘ehia’ nĩmendaga arĩa mamendete.
Also, if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ love those who love them.
33 Na mũngĩkorwo mwĩkaga wega o arĩa mamwĩkaga wega-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? Nĩgũkorwo ehia o nao nĩmekaga o ũguo.
And if you do good to those doing good to you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ do the same.
34 Na ningĩ mũngĩkorwo mũkombithagia o arĩa mwĩhokete nĩmakamũrĩha-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? O na ehia nĩmakombagĩra ehia arĩa angĩ, mehokete nĩmakarĩhwo ciothe.
And if you lend to those from whom you expect to get it back, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ lend to ‘sinners’, to receive an equal value back.
35 No rĩrĩ, endagai thũ cianyu, na mũciĩkage wega, o na mũkombithagie mũtekwĩhoka gũcookerio kĩndũ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo irĩhi rĩanyu nĩrĩkaneneha, na inyuĩ nĩmũgatuĩka ariũ a Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, nĩgũkorwo we nĩaiguagĩra arĩa matarĩ ngaatho tha o na arĩa aaganu.
“So, love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; because He is kind toward the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Iguanagĩrai tha, o ta ũrĩa Ithe wanyu aiguanagĩra tha.
So be compassionate, even as your Father is compassionate.
37 “Mũtigaciirithanagie nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanaciirithio. Mũtigatuanagĩre, nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanatuĩrwo. Rekanagĩrai, na inyuĩ nĩmũkarekerwo.
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Heanagai, na inyuĩ nĩmũrĩheagwo na gĩthimi kĩega, gĩkindĩrĩtwo, kĩinainĩtio na gĩgaitĩkĩrĩra, nĩkĩo mũgaitĩrĩrwo nakĩo nguo-inĩ. Nĩgũkorwo gĩthimi kĩrĩa mũthimanagĩra nakĩo, no kĩo mũrĩthimagĩrwo nakĩo.”
Give and it will be given to you: a good measure—pressed down and shaken together and running over—will they deposit in your lap. Because with the same measure that you use it will be measured back to you.”
39 Agĩcooka akĩmahe ngerekano ĩno, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumumu no atongorie mũtumumu ũrĩa ũngĩ? Githĩ eerĩ to magũe irima?
Then He told them a parable: “Can a blind man guide a blind man? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 Mũrutwo ti mũnene kũrĩ mũmũruti, no ũrĩa wothe mũrute wega, no atuĩke ta mũmũruti.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wone kĩhuti kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riitho rĩa mũrũ wa thoguo, no ũkaaga kũrũmbũiya mũgogo ũrĩa ũrĩ riitho rĩaku we mwene?
Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank that is in your own eye?
42 Wahota atĩa kwĩra mũrũ wa thoguo atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrũ wa baba, reke ngũrute kĩhuti kĩu kĩrĩ riitho rĩaku,’ o rĩrĩa wee wagĩte kuona mũgogo ũrĩa ũrĩ naguo riitho rĩaku? Wee hinga ĩno, amba ũrute mũgogo ũcio ũrĩ naguo riitho, nĩguo wone wega ũhote kũruta kĩhuti kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riitho rĩa mũrũ wa thoguo.
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.
43 “Gũtirĩ mũtĩ mwega ũciaraga maciaro mooru, kana mũtĩ mũũru ũgaciara maciaro mega.
“Now no good tree produces rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree produce good fruit
44 O mũtĩ ũmenyekaga na maciaro maguo mwene. Andũ matituaga ngũyũ kuuma mĩtĩ-inĩ ya mĩigua, o na kana magatua thabibũ kuuma congʼe-inĩ.
—each tree is known by its own fruit: people do not gather figs from thorn bushes, nor do they pick a bunch of grapes from a bramble.
45 Mũndũ ũrĩa mwega aragia maũndũ mega kuuma mũthiithũ-inĩ wa ngoro yake, nake mũndũ ũrĩa mũũru aragia maũndũ mooru kuuma mũthiithũ-inĩ wa ngoro yake. Nĩgũkorwo kanua gake kaaragia o maũndũ marĩa maiyũrĩte ngoro yake.
The good man produces the good out of the good treasure in his heart, and the malignant man produces the malignant out of the malignant treasure in his heart; because his mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
46 “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũnjĩtaga ‘Mwathani, Mwathani,’ nĩkĩ, na mũtiĩkaga ũrĩa ndĩmwĩraga?
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord’, and not do what I say?
47 Nĩngũmuonia ũrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa ũũkaga kũrĩ niĩ, na akaigua ciugo ciakwa, na ageeka ũrĩa ciugĩte ahaana.
Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them—I will show you who he is like:
48 Ahaana ta mũndũ waakaga nyũmba, ũrĩa wenjire mũthingi, akĩũrikia na akĩwamba igũrũ rĩa ihiga. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa kwagĩire mũiyũro wa maaĩ, kĩguũ gĩkĩgũtha nyũmba ĩyo na nditi, no gĩtiamĩenyenyirie, tondũ nĩyaakĩtwo wega.
he is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on the bedrock. When a flood occurred, the torrent burst upon that house but could not shake it, because it was founded on the bedrock.
49 No mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga ciugo ciakwa, na ndekaga ũrĩa ciugĩte, ahaana ta mũndũ ũrĩa waakire nyũmba ĩtarĩ na mũthingi. Na rĩrĩa kĩguũ kĩagũthire nyũmba ĩyo, ĩkĩmomoka, naguo mwanangĩko wayo warĩ mũnene.”
But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
