< 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 the second-sabbath after the first, that as He was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and rubbed them in their hands and ate them.
2 Afarisai amwe makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwĩke ũrĩa gũtetĩkĩrĩtio nĩ watho mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
And some of the pharisees said to them, Why do ye do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days?
3 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete ũrĩa Daudi eekire, rĩrĩa we na arĩa maarĩ nake maarĩ ahũtu?
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,
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.”
and did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to his attendants, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests.
5 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩwe Mwathani wa Thabatũ.”
And He said unto them, the Son of 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.
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that He went into a synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, whose 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 pharisees watched Him to see if He would work a cure on the sabbath: 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 that had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst: and he rose up and stood forth.
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 said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing, Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to let it be lost?
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 to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.
11 Nao makĩrakara mũno, makĩambĩrĩria kũũrania ũrĩa mangĩĩka Jesũ.
And they were filled with confusion: and consulted together, what they might do to Jesus.
12 Mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ nĩoimagarire agĩthiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ akahooe, akĩraara akĩhooya Ngai ũtukũ wothe.
And in those days He went out to a 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:
And when it was day, He called his disciples to Him: and chose out twelve from among them, whom He also named his apostles:
14 Simoni (ũrĩa aatuire Petero), na Anderea mũrũ wa nyina, na Jakubu, na Johana, na Filipu, na Baritholomayo,
(to wit, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 na Mathayo, na Toma, na Jakubu wa Alufayo, na Simoni ũrĩa wetagwo Zelote,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James,
16 na Judasi wa Jakubu, na Judasi Mũisikariota ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
and Judas Iscariot, who was the 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,
and He came down the hill with them, and stood in the plain; with the rest of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all the parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the coast 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,
even those that were tormented by impure spirits: and they were healed.
19 nao andũ othe makĩgeria kũmũhutia, tondũ hinya nĩwoimaga thĩinĩ wake na ũkamahonia othe.
And all the people endeavoured to touch Him, for there went a divine virtue out of Him, and healed them all.
20 Nake akĩrora arutwo ake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ athĩĩni, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩ wanyu.
And lifting up his eyes on his disciples He said, Blessed are ye though poor; for 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 ye that hunger now; for ye shall be satisfied. Blessed are 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.
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and reject you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as infamous on account of the Son of man.
23 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũgakena na mũrũgarũge, tondũ mũcaara wanyu nĩ mũingĩ Igũrũ. Nĩgũkorwo ũguo noguo maithe mao meekire anabii.
Rejoice in that day, and be exceeding glad; for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for thus did their fathers to the prophets.
24 “No rĩrĩ, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro inyuĩ itonga-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra kũnyamarũrwo kwanyu.
But wo unto you that are rich; for ye have received your 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.
Wo unto you that are full; for ye shall be hungry. Wo unto you 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.
Wo unto you when all men speak well of you; for their fathers did the same to the false prophets.
27 “No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ inyuĩ arĩa mũũthikĩrĩirie: endagai thũ cianyu, na mwĩkage wega arĩa mamũthũire,
But I say unto you my hearers, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,
28 na ningĩ mũrathimage arĩa mamũrumaga, na mũhooyagĩre arĩa mamwĩkaga ũũru.
bless them that curse you, and pray for them that abuse 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 that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and let him that taketh away thy cloke, have thy coat too rather than strive with him:
30 Mũndũ o wothe angĩkũhooya kĩndũ mũhe, na mũndũ o wothe angĩoya kĩndũ gĩaku, ndũkamwĩtie.
give to him that asketh thee, and from him that taketh thy goods on loan demand nothing.
31 Ĩkagai andũ arĩa angĩ o ũrĩa mũngĩenda mamwĩkage.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.
32 “Rĩu-rĩ, angĩkorwo mwendete o arĩa mamwendete-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? O na ‘ehia’ nĩmendaga arĩa mamendete.
If ye love only them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even the wicked love those that love them:
33 Na mũngĩkorwo mwĩkaga wega o arĩa mamwĩkaga wega-rĩ, mwakĩĩguna na kĩ? Nĩgũkorwo ehia o nao nĩmekaga o ũguo.
and if ye do good offices to them that do good to you, what thanks are due to you? for even wicked men 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 ye lend to those from whom ye expect to receive, what thanks are due to you? for sinners also lend to sinners that they may receive an equivalent.
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 do ye love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing from it: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the sons of the most High; for He is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked:
36 Iguanagĩrai tha, o ta ũrĩa Ithe wanyu aiguanagĩra tha.
be ye therefore merciful as your heavenly Father also is merciful.
37 “Mũtigaciirithanagie nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanaciirithio. Mũtigatuanagĩre, nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanatuĩrwo. Rekanagĩrai, na inyuĩ nĩmũkarekerwo.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall 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 shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed and shaken down and running over, shall they give into your bosom: for by the same measure, which ye measure with, shall it be measured back again to you.
39 Agĩcooka akĩmahe ngerekano ĩno, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumumu no atongorie mũtumumu ũrĩa ũngĩ? Githĩ eerĩ to magũe irima?
And He said to them by way of 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.
the learner is not above his teacher, tho' every complete scholar will become as learned as his master.
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 dost thou look at the chaff in thy brother's eye, and takest no notice of the beam that is in thine own?
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 canst thou say to thy brother, Brother let me take out the splinter that is in thine eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou wilt see distinctly how to take out the chaff that is in thy brother's eye.
43 “Gũtirĩ mũtĩ mwega ũciaraga maciaro mooru, kana mũtĩ mũũru ũgaciara maciaro mega.
For that is not a good tree which produceth bad fruit, nor is the tree bad, which produceth 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 is known by it's fruit; for men do not gather figs from thorns, nor 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.
A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man, out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũnjĩtaga ‘Mwathani, Mwathani,’ nĩkĩ, na mũtiĩkaga ũrĩa ndĩmwĩraga?
But why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not practise what I teach you?
47 Nĩngũmuonia ũrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa ũũkaga kũrĩ niĩ, na akaigua ciugo ciakwa, na ageeka ũrĩa ciugĩte ahaana.
Whosoever cometh unto me, and heareth my instructions, and observeth them, I will shew 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 a man who in building an house digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock; and when a flood came, the torrent beat violently against that house, but could not shake it, for it was founded upon a 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.”
But he that heareth and observeth not, is like a man that built an house upon the ground without any foundation, which the flood beat violently upon, and immediately it fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.
