< Luka 8 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa ũguo, Jesũ agĩthiĩ matũũra-inĩ o na tũtũũra-inĩ akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũthamaki wa Ngai. Arutwo ake arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ maarĩ hamwe nake,
And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;
2 o na atumia amwe a arĩa maarutĩtwo ngoma thũku na arĩa maahonetio mĩrimũ: nao nĩ Mariamu (ũrĩa wetagwo Mũmagidali), nĩwe warutĩtwo ndaimono mũgwanja;
and also certain women that had been cured of evil spirits and diseases; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven demons,
3 na Joana mũtumia wa Husa, ũrĩa warĩ mũrori wa indo cia Herode; na Susana; na angĩ aingĩ. Atumia aya nĩmamũtungatagĩra na indo ciao ene.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him from their means.
4 Andũ aingĩ nĩmathiire na mbere kũngana harĩ Jesũ moimĩte matũũra-inĩ, na rĩrĩa andũ maingĩhire mũno akĩmahe ũhoro na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 Mũrĩmi nĩoimagarire akahure mbeũ ciake. Na rĩrĩa aahuraga mbeũ icio, imwe ikĩgũa mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra; ikĩrangĩrĩrio na magũrũ, nacio nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ igĩũka igĩcirĩa.
The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.
6 Ingĩ ikĩgũa rũnyanjara-inĩ, na rĩrĩa ciamerire, mĩmera ĩyo ĩkĩhooha tondũ wa kwaga ũigũ.
And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.
7 Nacio mbeũ ingĩ ikĩgũa mĩigua-inĩ, nayo mĩigua ĩgĩkũranĩra nacio na ĩgĩcithararia.
And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 Mbeũ ingĩ nacio ikĩgũa tĩĩri-inĩ mũnoru. Igĩkũra, igĩciara maita igana ma iria ciahaandĩtwo. Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ũrĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩaigue.”
And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Nao arutwo ake makĩmũũria ũrĩa ngerekano ĩyo yoigaga.
And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?
10 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩmũheetwo ũmenyo wa kũmenya hitho cia ũthamaki wa Ngai, no arĩa angĩ ndĩmaaragĩria na ngerekano, nĩgeetha, “‘maarora, makaaga kuona; na maigua, makaaga gũtaũkĩrwo.’
He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.
11 “Ngerekano ĩyo yugĩte atĩrĩ: Mbeũ icio nĩ ũhoro wa Ngai.
But the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God;
12 Mbeũ iria ciagũire mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro wa Ngai, nake mũcukani agooka akeheria ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ ciao, nĩguo matigetĩkie mahonoke.
those by the wayside are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Nacio iria ciagũire rũnyanjara-inĩ nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro wa Ngai, na makawamũkĩra na gĩkeno, no makaaga mĩri. Metĩkagia o gwa kahinda kanini, no magerio moka makaũtiganĩria.
Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.
14 Mbeũ iria ciagũire mĩigua-inĩ nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro, no o magĩthiiaga-rĩ, magatharario nĩ mĩhangʼo, na ũtonga, na mĩago, nao makaaga gũkũra.
That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct themselves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 No rĩrĩ, mbeũ iria ciagũire tĩĩri-inĩ ũrĩa mũnoru nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro marĩ na ngoro ya ma na njega, makaũtũũria, na nĩ ũndũ wa gũkirĩrĩria, magaciaraga maciaro.
But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 “Na rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgwatagia tawa akaũkunĩkĩria na irebe, kana akaũiga rungu rwa ũrĩrĩ. No aũigaga handũ igũrũ, nĩguo andũ arĩa megũtoonya nyũmba mathererwo nĩ ũtheri.
No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.
17 Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithe ũtakaguũrio, na gũtirĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hitho-inĩ ũtakamenyeka kana ũtakanĩkwo ũtheri-inĩ.
For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei ũrĩa mũthikagĩrĩria. Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ na indo nĩakongererwo nyingĩ; na ũrĩa wothe ũtarĩ nĩagatuunywo o na kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo.”
Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 Na rĩrĩ, nyina wa Jesũ na ariũ a nyina na Jesũ magĩũka kũmuona, no matingĩahotire gũthiĩ hakuhĩ nake nĩ ũndũ wa andũ kũingĩha.
And his mother and his brothers came to him, but were not able to get near him on account of the multitude.
20 Mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marũgamĩte nja makĩenda gũkuona.”
And it was told him by some that said: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro wa Ngai na makaũhingia.”
But he answered and said to them: My mother and my brothers are they that hear the word of God and do it.
22 Mũthenya ũmwe Jesũ nĩerire arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũringei tũthiĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtoonya gatarũ magĩthiĩ.
And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he entered a ship with his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they set sail.
23 Na rĩrĩa maathiiaga Jesũ akĩhĩtwo nĩ toro. Na rĩrĩ, kũu iria-inĩ nĩ kwagĩire na kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene, nako gatarũ kau kaarĩ hakuhĩ kũũrĩra maaĩ-inĩ, na magĩkorwo marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
And while they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and were in danger.
24 Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ makĩmũũkĩria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ “Mwathani! Mwathani! Nĩtũkũũrĩra maaĩ-inĩ!” Nake Jesũ agĩũkĩra agĩkaania rũhuho na maaĩ macio maahũũranaga; namo makũmbĩ macio ma maaĩ makĩnyihanyiiha na gũkĩhoorera.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, master, we perish. But he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Akĩũria arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Wĩtĩkio wanyu ũrĩ ha?” Nao makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya na makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũndũ ũyũ arĩ ũ? Aathaga huho o na maaĩ, nacio ikamwathĩkĩra.”
And he said to them: Where is your faith? And being afraid, they wondered, and said one to another: Who, then, is this, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?
26 Makĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, magĩkinya rũgongo rwa Agerasi rũrĩa rũngʼethanĩire na Galili.
And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite to Galilee.
27 Jesũ aarĩkia kuuma gatarũ, aakinya thĩ agĩtũngwo nĩ mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono oimĩte itũũra-inĩ. Mũndũ ũcio nĩaikarĩte ihinda inene ategwĩkĩra nguo kana agatũũra nyũmba, no aatũũraga mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
And when he came out upon the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had been possessed with demons for a long time, and who wore no clothes, and dwelt in no house, but in the tombs.
28 Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio onire Jesũ, agĩkaya na akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make, akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda atĩa na niĩ, wee Jesũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno? Ndagũthaitha, ndũkaanyariire!”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 Nĩgũkorwo Jesũ nĩathĩte ngoma ĩyo thũku yume thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũcio. Nĩyamũnyiitaga kaingĩ, na o na gũtuĩka nĩoohagwo moko na magũrũ na mĩnyororo, na akarangĩrwo-rĩ, nĩatuangaga mĩnyororo ĩyo yamuohaga, na ndaimono ĩyo ĩgatũma athiĩ kũndũ gũtarĩ andũ.
For he had O; commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized upon him, and he had been bound with chains and fetters, and kept in confinement; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the deserts.
30 Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩtagwo atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Legioni,” nĩgũkorwo aarĩ na ndaimono nyingĩ.
And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? He answered, Legion; for many demons had entered into him.
31 Nacio ndaimono igĩkĩrĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ ndagaciathe ithiĩ Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi. (Abyssos )
And they be sought him, that he would not command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos )
32 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ haarĩ na rũũru rũnene rwa ngũrwe rwarĩithagio harũrũka-inĩ cia kĩrĩma kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na hau. Ndaimono icio igĩthaitha Jesũ aciĩtĩkĩrie itoonye thĩinĩ wacio, nake agĩciĩtĩkĩria.
And there was in that place a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.
33 Ndaimono cioima thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũcio, igĩthiĩ igĩtoonya ngũrwe, naruo rũũru rũu rũkĩharũrũka kĩhurũrũka kĩu na ihenya, rũkĩgũa iria-inĩ, rũkĩũrĩra kuo.
And the demons came out of the man, and went into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.
34 Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio moonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, makĩũra, magĩthiĩ kũheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ na mĩgũnda-inĩ,
And when those who fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35 nao andũ makiumagara makone ũndũ ũcio wekĩkĩte. Rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩ Jesũ na makĩona mũndũ ũcio woimĩtwo nĩ ndaimono aikarĩte magũrũ-inĩ ma Jesũ, arĩ na nguo na arĩ na meciiria mega, magĩĩtigĩra mũno.
And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.
36 Andũ arĩa meyoneire ũndũ ũcio makĩĩra andũ acio angĩ ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio warĩ na ndaimono aahonetio.
And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved.
37 Nao andũ othe a rũgongo rũu rwa Agerasi magĩthaitha Jesũ oime kũu kwao amatige, nĩgũkorwo nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩtoonya gatarũ agĩthiĩ.
And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned.
38 Nake mũndũ ũcio warutĩtwo ndaimono akĩmũthaitha mathiĩ nake, no Jesũ akĩmwatha athiĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:
39 “Cooka mũciĩ ũkoige ũrĩa wothe Ngai agwĩkĩire.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩĩra andũ othe a itũũra ũrĩa Jesũ aamwĩkĩire.
Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
40 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aacooka kuuma mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, andũ aingĩ nĩmamwamũkĩrire tondũ nĩmamwetereire.
And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received him gladly; for they were all waiting for him.
41 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ wetagwo Jairũ warĩ mũnene wa thunagogi agĩũka, akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ ma Jesũ, akĩmũthaitha athiĩ gwake,
And, behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus; and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to come into his house;
42 nĩ ũndũ mũirĩtu wake wa mũmwe warĩ wa ta mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ aarĩ hakuhĩ gũkua. Na Jesũ arĩ njĩra-inĩ agĩthiĩ-rĩ, andũ nĩmamũhatĩkaga.
for he had a daughter, his only child, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitude pressed upon him.
43 Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio nĩ haarĩ na mũtumia ũmwe watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩamũhonirie.
And a woman that had been afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole living upon physicians, and could be cured by no one,
44 Mũtumia ũcio agĩũka na thuutha wa Jesũ, akĩhutia gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na o rĩmwe agĩtiga kuura.
came behind, and touched the fringe of his mantle; and her issue of blood immediately ceased.
45 Nake Jesũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũcio wahutia?” Rĩrĩa othe maakaanire, Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, andũ nĩmagũthiũrũrũkĩirie na magakũhatĩka.”
And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
46 Nowe Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ mũndũ waahutia, tondũ nĩndaigua hinya woima thĩinĩ wakwa.”
But Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.
47 Nake mũtumia ũcio, ona atĩ ndangĩhota kwĩhitha, agĩũka akĩinainaga, akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make. Arĩ hau mbere ya andũ othe akĩheana gĩtũmi kĩrĩa gĩatũmĩte amũhutie na ũrĩa aahonirio o ro rĩmwe.
And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.
48 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone. Thiĩ na thayũ.”
And he said to her: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you; go in peace.
49 Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩaragia, hagĩkinya mũndũ woimĩte mũciĩ kwa Jairũ ũrĩa mũnene wa thunagogi, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩguo nĩarĩkĩtie gũkua, tiga gũthĩĩnia Mũrutani.”
While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.
50 Jesũ aigua ũguo, akĩĩra Jairũ atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee ĩtĩkia tu, na nĩekũhona.”
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.
51 Rĩrĩa aakinyire kwa Jairũ, ndaarekire mũndũ o na ũmwe atoonye hamwe nake, tiga o Petero, na Jakubu, na Johana, na ithe na nyina a mwana ũcio.
And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child.
52 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe no kũrĩra maarĩraga magĩcakayaga nĩ ũndũ wa mwana ũcio. Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũrĩra, ti mũkuũ, nĩ gũkoma akomete.”
And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 Nao makĩmũthekerera, tondũ nĩmooĩ atĩ aarĩ mũkuũ.
And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Nowe Jesũ akĩnyiita mwana ũcio guoko, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwana wakwa, ũkĩra!”
But he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Child, arise.
55 Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo agĩcookererwo nĩ muoyo wake, na o rĩmwe akĩrũgama. Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera mahe mwana ũcio kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.
And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he commanded that food should be given her.
56 Nao aciari ake makĩgega mũno, nowe akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũ ũndũ ũcio wekĩkĩte.
And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
