< 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.
And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, as He is going through the grainfields, that His disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,
2 Afarisai amwe makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwĩke ũrĩa gũtetĩkĩrĩtio nĩ watho mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
and certain of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths?”
3 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete ũrĩa Daudi eekire, rĩrĩa we na arĩa maarĩ nake maarĩ ahũtu?
And Jesus answering said to them, “Did you not read even this that David did when he hungered, himself and those who are 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, and took the Bread of the Presentation, and ate, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?”
5 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩwe Mwathani wa Thabatũ.”
And He said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord also 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.
And it came to pass also, on another Sabbath, that He goes into the synagogue, and teaches, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,
7 Nao Afarisai na arutani a watho nĩmacaragia ũndũ mangĩthitangĩra Jesũ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũrora mũno, mone kana nĩekũhonania mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him, if on the Sabbath He will heal, 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.
And He Himself had known their reasonings and said to the man having the withered hand, “Rise, and stand in the midst”; and he having risen, 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 question you something: is it lawful on the Sabbaths 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 having looked around on them all, He said to the man, “Stretch forth your hand”; and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
11 Nao makĩrakara mũno, makĩambĩrĩria kũũrania ũrĩa mangĩĩka Jesũ.
and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12 Mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ nĩoimagarire agĩthiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ akahooe, akĩraara akĩhooya Ngai ũtukũ wothe.
And it came to pass in those days, He went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,
13 Gwakĩa-rĩ, agĩĩta arutwo ake moke harĩ we, agĩthuura andũ ikũmi na eerĩ ao, akĩmatua atũmwo, nao nĩ:
and when it became day, He called near His disciples, also having chosen twelve from them, 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 his brother Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 na Mathayo, na Toma, na Jakubu wa Alufayo, na Simoni ũrĩa wetagwo Zelote,
Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zealot,
16 na Judasi wa Jakubu, na Judasi Mũisikariota ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer.
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,
And having come down with them, He stood on a level spot; and a crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
18 nao mookĩte nĩguo mamũigue na mahonio mĩrimũ yao. Nao arĩa maanyamaragio nĩ ngoma thũku makĩhonio,
who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, [gathered]. And those harassed by unclean spirits [also gathered] and were healed.
19 nao andũ othe makĩgeria kũmũhutia, tondũ hinya nĩwoimaga thĩinĩ wake na ũkamahonia othe.
And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, because power was going forth from Him, and He was healing all.
20 Nake akĩrora arutwo ake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ athĩĩni, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩ wanyu.
And He, having lifted up His eyes to His disciples, said: “Blessed the poor—because yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũhũũtaga rĩu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũkahũũnio. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũrarĩra rĩu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũgatheka.
Blessed those hungering now—because you will be filled. Blessed those weeping 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 when men will hate you, and when they will separate you, and will reproach, and will cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of 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 leap, for behold, your reward [is] great in Heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.
24 “No rĩrĩ, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ itonga-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra kũnyamarũrwo kwanyu.
But woe to you—the rich, because you have gotten 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 have been filled—because you will hunger. Woe to you who are laughing now—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 to you when all men will speak well of you—for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.
27 “No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ inyuĩ arĩa mũũthikĩrĩirie: endagai thũ cianyu, na mwĩkage wega arĩa mamũthũire,
But I say to you who are hearing, love your enemies, do good to those hating you,
28 na ningĩ mũrathimage arĩa mamũrumaga, na mũhooyagĩre arĩa mamwĩkaga ũũru.
bless those cursing you, pray for those maligning you;
29 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkũgũtha rũthĩa rũmwe, mũhũgũkĩrie rũu rũngĩ o naruo. Na mũndũ angĩgũtunya igooti rĩaku, ndũkamũgirie kuoya o na kanjũ yaku.
and to him striking you on the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from you the mantle, also the coat you may not keep back.
30 Mũndũ o wothe angĩkũhooya kĩndũ mũhe, na mũndũ o wothe angĩoya kĩndũ gĩaku, ndũkamwĩtie.
And to everyone who is asking of you, be giving; and from him who is taking away your goods, do not be asking again;
31 Ĩkagai andũ arĩa angĩ o ũrĩa mũngĩenda mamwĩkage.
and as you wish that men may do to you, do also to them in like manner;
32 “Rĩu-rĩ, angĩkorwo mwendete o arĩa mamwendete-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? O na ‘ehia’ nĩmendaga arĩa mamendete.
and—if you love those loving you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful love those loving 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 grace is it to you? For also the sinful 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] of whom you hope to receive back, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful lend to sinners—that they may receive again as much.
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.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest, because He is kind to the ungracious and evil;
36 Iguanagĩrai tha, o ta ũrĩa Ithe wanyu aiguanagĩra tha.
be therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
37 “Mũtigaciirithanagie nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanaciirithio. Mũtigatuanagĩre, nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanatuĩrwo. Rekanagĩrai, na inyuĩ nĩmũkarekerwo.
And do not judge, and you may not be judged; do not condemn, and you may not be condemned; release, and you will be released.
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; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they will give into your bosom; for with that measure with which you measure, it will be measured to you again.”
39 Agĩcooka akĩmahe ngerekano ĩno, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumumu no atongorie mũtumumu ũrĩa ũngĩ? Githĩ eerĩ to magũe irima?
And He spoke an allegory to them, “Is blind able to lead blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 Mũrutwo ti mũnene kũrĩ mũmũruti, no ũrĩa wothe mũrute wega, no atuĩke ta mũmũruti.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone perfected will be as 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?
And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam 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 are you able to say to your brother, Brother, permit, I may take out the speck that [is] in your eye—yourself not beholding the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye.
43 “Gũtirĩ mũtĩ mwega ũciaraga maciaro mooru, kana mũtĩ mũũru ũgaciara maciaro mega.
For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making 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.
for each tree is known from its own fruit, for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they crop a grape 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 out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũnjĩtaga ‘Mwathani, Mwathani,’ nĩkĩ, na mũtiĩkaga ũrĩa ndĩmwĩraga?
And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
47 Nĩngũmuonia ũrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa ũũkaga kũrĩ niĩ, na akaigua ciugo ciakwa, na ageeka ũrĩa ciugĩte ahaana.
Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words, and is doing them, I will show you to whom 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 to a man building a house, who dug and deepened, and laid a foundation on the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.
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.”
And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having built a house on the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream broke forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.”
