< 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, that he was passing along through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the ears of corn, rubbing them with their hands.
2 Afarisai amwe makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwĩke ũrĩa gũtetĩkĩrĩtio nĩ watho mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
But, certain of the Pharisees, said—Why are ye doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?
3 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete ũrĩa Daudi eekire, rĩrĩa we na arĩa maarĩ nake maarĩ ahũtu?
And, making answer unto them, Jesus said—Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they 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 entered into the house of God, and, the presence-bread, receiving, did eat, and gave to them who were with him, which it is not allowable to eat, save alone, to the priests?
5 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩwe Mwathani wa Thabatũ.”
And he was saying to them—The Son of Man is, Lord 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, on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and was teaching, and there was a man there, 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.
Now the Scribes and the Pharisees were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he healeth, —that they might find whereof to accuse 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 reasonings, and said to the man who had the, withered, hand—Arise, and stand forward in the midst! And, arising, he stood forward.
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?”
And Jesus said unto them—I ask you, whether it is allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good or to do harm, —life, to save, or, to destroy.
10 Akĩĩhũgũra, akĩmarora othe, agĩcooka akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku.” Nake agĩĩka o ro ũguo; nakuo guoko gwake gũkĩhonio biũ.
And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him—Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored.
11 Nao makĩrakara mũno, makĩambĩrĩria kũũrania ũrĩa mangĩĩka Jesũ.
But, they, were filled with folly, and began conversing one with another, as to, what they might do with Jesus.
12 Mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ nĩoimagarire agĩthiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ akahooe, akĩraara akĩhooya Ngai ũtukũ wothe.
And it came to pass, in these days, that he went forth into the mountain to pray, and was spending the night in the prayer-house 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 his disciples, and chose from them, twelve, whom also he named, Apostles, —
14 Simoni (ũrĩa aatuire Petero), na Anderea mũrũ wa nyina, na Jakubu, na Johana, na Filipu, na Baritholomayo,
Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;
15 na Mathayo, na Toma, na Jakubu wa Alufayo, na Simoni ũrĩa wetagwo Zelote,
and Matthew and Thomas; and James, son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called Zealot; and Judas, [son] of James,
16 na Judasi wa Jakubu, na Judasi Mũisikariota ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
and Judas Iscariot, who 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, coming down with them, he stood upon a level place, also a great multitude of his disciples, —and a great throng of the people, from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Zidon, who had come to hearken unto him and to be healed from their diseases;
18 nao mookĩte nĩguo mamũigue na mahonio mĩrimũ yao. Nao arĩa maanyamaragio nĩ ngoma thũku makĩhonio,
and, they who were molested by impure spirits, were being cured;
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, from him, was coming forth, and healing all.
20 Nake akĩrora arutwo ake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ athĩĩni, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩ wanyu.
And, he, lifting up his eyes towards his disciples, was saying: —Happy, ye destitute, for, yours, is the kingdom of God.
21 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũhũũtaga rĩu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũkahũũnio. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũrarĩra rĩu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũgatheka.
Happy, ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Happy, ye that weep now, for ye shall 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.
Happy, are ye, whensoever men shall hate you, and whensoever they shall separate you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man:
23 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũgakena na mũrũgarũge, tondũ mũcaara wanyu nĩ mũingĩ Igũrũ. Nĩgũkorwo ũguo noguo maithe mao meekire anabii.
be rejoiced in that day, and leap, for lo! your reward, is great in heaven; for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the prophets.
24 “No rĩrĩ, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ itonga-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra kũnyamarũrwo kwanyu.
But alas! for you, ye wealthy, for ye are duly receiving you consolation.
25 Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ arĩa mũhũũniĩ rĩu-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũkahũũta. Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro arĩa mũratheka rĩu-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũgacakaya na mũrĩre.
Alas! for you, ye who are filled full now, for ye shall hunger. Alas! ye that laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe mekũmũgaathĩrĩria-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũguo noguo maithe mao meekaga anabii a maheeni.
Alas! whensoever all men shall, speak well of you, for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the false prophets.
27 “No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ inyuĩ arĩa mũũthikĩrĩirie: endagai thũ cianyu, na mwĩkage wega arĩa mamũthũire,
But, unto you, I say, who are hearkening: Be loving your enemies; be doing, good, unto them that hate you;
28 na ningĩ mũrathimage arĩa mamũrumaga, na mũhooyagĩre arĩa mamwĩkaga ũũru.
Be blessing them that curse you; be praying for them that wantonly insult 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 is smiting thee upon the one cheek, be offering, the other also; and, from him who is taking away thy mantle, thy tunic also, do not forbid:
30 Mũndũ o wothe angĩkũhooya kĩndũ mũhe, na mũndũ o wothe angĩoya kĩndũ gĩaku, ndũkamwĩtie.
To every one asking thee, give, and, from him that taketh away thy possessions, ask them not back.
31 Ĩkagai andũ arĩa angĩ o ũrĩa mũngĩenda mamwĩkage.
And, according as ye desire that men be doing unto you, be ye doing unto them, in like manner.
32 “Rĩu-rĩ, angĩkorwo mwendete o arĩa mamwendete-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? O na ‘ehia’ nĩmendaga arĩa mamendete.
And, if ye love them that love you, what sort of thanks are there for you? for, even sinners, love, such as love them.
33 Na mũngĩkorwo mwĩkaga wega o arĩa mamwĩkaga wega-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? Nĩgũkorwo ehia o nao nĩmekaga o ũguo.
[For], if ye even do good unto them that do good unto you, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, the same, are doing.
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 ye lend to them from whom ye are hoping to receive, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, unto sinners, do lend, that they may receive back, 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, back; and your reward shall be, great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High, —for, he, is, gracious, unto the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Iguanagĩrai tha, o ta ũrĩa Ithe wanyu aiguanagĩra tha.
Become ye compassionate, according as, your Father, is, compassionate;
37 “Mũtigaciirithanagie nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanaciirithio. Mũtigatuanagĩre, nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanatuĩrwo. Rekanagĩrai, na inyuĩ nĩmũkarekerwo.
And do not judge, and in nowise shall ye be judged; and do not condemn, and in nowise shall ye be condemned; release, and ye shall 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 shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will they give into your lap; for, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured back unto you.
39 Agĩcooka akĩmahe ngerekano ĩno, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumumu no atongorie mũtumumu ũrĩa ũngĩ? Githĩ eerĩ to magũe irima?
He spake, moreover, a parable also, unto them: Can, the blind, guide, the blind? will 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 the teacher; but, when trained, every one shall 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?
But why beholdest thou the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, while, the beam that is in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?
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.
How canst thou say to thy brother—Brother! let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, —thyself, the beam in thine own eye, not beholding? Hypocrite! cast out, first, the beam out of thine own eye, and, then, shalt thou see clearly, to cast out, the mote that is in the eye of thy brother.
43 “Gũtirĩ mũtĩ mwega ũciaraga maciaro mooru, kana mũtĩ mũũru ũgaciara maciaro mega.
For a good tree doth not produce worthless fruit, neither again doth, a worthless 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.
For, every tree, by its own fruit, becometh known. For not, of thorns, do they gather figs, neither, of a bramble-bush, do they gather, a bunch of grapes.
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 the heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and, the wicked man, out of the wicked heart, bringeth forth that which is wicked; for, out of an overflowing of heart, speaketh, his mouth.
46 “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũnjĩtaga ‘Mwathani, Mwathani,’ nĩkĩ, na mũtiĩkaga ũrĩa ndĩmwĩraga?
And why call ye me, Lord! Lord! and not do the things that I say?
47 Nĩngũmuonia ũrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa ũũkaga kũrĩ niĩ, na akaigua ciugo ciakwa, na ageeka ũrĩa ciugĩte ahaana.
Every one coming unto me, and hearkening unto my words, and doing them, I will suggest to you, 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 unto a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and laid a foundation upon the rock, —and, a flood, coming, the stream burst against that house, and was not strong enough to shake it, because it had been, well, built.
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 that hath heard and not done, is like unto a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, —against which the stream burst, and, straightway, it fell in; and it came to pass, that, the crash of that house, was, great.
