Luka 9
1 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aarĩkia gwĩta arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ hamwe, nĩamaheire hinya na ũhoti wa kũingata ndaimono ciothe na kũhonia mĩrimũ,
And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases:
2 na akĩmatũma mathiĩ makahunjie ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai na mahonagie andũ arĩa arũaru.
and he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtigakuue kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩa rũgendo; mũtigakuue mũtirima, kana mũhuko, kana irio, kana mbeeca o na kana nguo tiga o iria mwĩhumbĩte.
And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two coats each.
4 Nyũmba ĩrĩa yothe mũrĩtoonyaga ikaragai kuo nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima itũũra rĩu.
And whatever house you enter, there remain, and thence depart.
5 Andũ mangĩkaarega kũmũnyiita ũgeni-rĩ, mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu rũkũngũ rũitĩke mũkiuma itũũra rĩao arĩ ũira wa kũmatuĩra ciira.”
And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off even the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara magĩthiĩ kuuma gatũũra kamwe nginya karĩa kangĩ makĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega na makĩhonagia andũ kũrĩa guothe maathiiaga.
And they departed, and went through every village, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.
7 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Herode ũrĩa mũthamaki aiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ mothe marĩa maathiiaga na mbere, nĩataangĩkire ngoro mũno tondũ andũ amwe moigaga atĩ Johana nĩariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ,
And Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;
8 na angĩ makoiga atĩ Elija nĩonekanĩte, o na angĩ makoiga atĩ mũnabii ũmwe wa arĩa a tene nĩariũkĩte.
and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that a prophet of ancient times had risen again.
9 No Herode akiuga atĩrĩ, “Johana nĩndamũrengithirie mũtwe. Ũyũ ndĩraigua ũhoro wake-rĩ, nĩwe ũ?” Nake akĩĩrirĩria kũmuona.
And Herod said: John I have beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 Nao atũmwo maacooka, makĩĩra Jesũ maũndũ marĩa mekĩte. Nake akĩehera kuo, agĩthiĩ nao itũũra rĩetagwo Bethisaida,
And the apostles returned, and told him all that they had done. And he took them, and withdrew privately to a desert place, that belonged to a city called Bethsaida.
11 no andũ aingĩ makĩmenya ũhoro ũcio na makĩmũrũmĩrĩra. Nake akĩmaamũkĩra na akĩmahe ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai, na akĩhonia arĩa maabatarĩtio nĩ kũhonio.
But the multitudes knew it, and followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
12 Hwaĩ-inĩ arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ingata andũ aya nĩguo mathiĩ mĩciĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ hakuhĩ o na mĩgũnda-inĩ mageethe irio na gwa gũkoma, tondũ haha tũrĩ nĩ werũ ũtarĩ andũ.”
And the day began to decline; and the twelve came and said to him: Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and the country round about, and lodge, and find food; for we are here in a desert place.
13 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Maheei kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.” Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ o na mĩgate ĩtano na thamaki igĩrĩ, no tũthiire tũkagũrĩre andũ aya othe irio.”
But he said to them: Do you give them food. They replied: We have nothing but five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy food for all these people.
14 (Handũ hau haarĩ na arũme ta ngiri ithano.) Nowe akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Maikariei thĩ marĩ ikundi cia andũ mĩrongo ĩtano ĩtano.”
For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them recline in companies of fifty.
15 Nao arutwo magĩĩka o ũguo, magĩikaria andũ othe thĩ.
And they did so, and made them all recline.
16 Nake akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo ĩtano na thamaki icio igĩrĩ, akĩrora na igũrũ, agĩcookia ngaatho na agĩcienyũranga. Agĩcooka agĩcinengera arutwo ake magaĩre andũ.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave them to the disciples, to set before the multitude.
17 Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna, nao arutwo makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia cienyũ iria ciatigarire.
And they all ate, and were satisfied; and there was taken up what remained to them of the broken pieces, twelve baskets.
18 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe Jesũ akĩhooya arĩ keheri-inĩ, arutwo ake magĩkorwo marĩ hamwe nake. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?”
And it came to pass, as he was praying in a retired place, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying: Who do the multitudes say that I am?
19 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amwe moigaga nĩwe Johana Mũbatithania; angĩ makoiga nĩwe Elija; angĩ nao makoiga atĩ mũnabii ũmwe wa arĩa a tene nĩariũkĩte.”
They answered and said: John the Immerser; but some, Elijah; and others, that some prophet of ancient times has risen again.
20 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ na inyuĩ-rĩ, mugaga atĩa? Mugaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?” Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Kristũ ũrĩa wa Ngai.”
He said to them: But who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said: The Christ of God.
21 Nake Jesũ akĩmakaania na hinya, akĩmeera matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũhoro ũcio.
And he strictly charged them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ no nginya one mathĩĩna maingĩ, na aregwo nĩ athuuri, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, o na arutani a watho, na no nginya ooragwo na thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ ariũkio.”
saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised the third day.
23 Agĩcooka akĩmeera othe atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩenda kũnũmĩrĩra, no nginya eerege we mwene, na oyage mũtharaba wake o mũthenya, aanũmagĩrĩre.
And he said to them all: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
24 Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe wendaga kũhonokia muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo, no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakaũhonokia.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
25 Mũndũ angĩĩguna nakĩ angĩĩgwatĩra thĩ yothe, no ate muoyo wake kana orwo nĩguo?
For what will it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and destroy himself, or be lost?
26 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩconoka nĩ ũndũ wakwa na nĩ ũndũ wa ciugo ciakwa, o nake nĩagaconokerwo nĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ rĩrĩa agacooka arĩ na riiri wake, na riiri wa Ithe, o na wa araika arĩa atheru.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in his own glory; and that of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe a aya marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
But I say to you, of a truth, there are some of these who stand here that shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.
28 Mĩthenya ta ĩnana thuutha wa Jesũ kwaria ũhoro ũyũ nĩathiire na Petero, na Johana na Jakubu akĩambata nao kĩrĩma igũrũ makahooe.
And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 Na rĩrĩa ahooyaga, mũhaanĩre wa ũthiũ wake ũkĩgarũrũka, nacio nguo ciake ikĩerũha igĩkenga o ta rũheni.
And as he prayed, the appearance of his face was changed, and his raiment became white and glittering.
30 Na rĩrĩ, andũ eerĩ, nĩo Musa na Elija,
And, behold, two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elijah;
31 makiumĩrĩra Jesũ marĩ na riiri mũnene makĩaria nake. Maaragia ũhoro wa gũkua gwake, kũrĩa aakirie kũhingia akinya Jerusalemu.
they appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Petero hamwe na arĩa maarĩ nake nĩmahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro, na rĩrĩa mookĩrire, makĩona riiri wake na andũ acio eerĩ maarũngiĩ hamwe nake.
And Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but having fully awakened, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 Na rĩrĩa andũ acio maatiganaga na Jesũ, Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ wega tũikare gũkũ. Reke twake ithũnũ ithatũ, kĩmwe gĩaku, na kĩmwe kĩa Musa, na kĩmwe kĩa Elija.” (Nowe ndaamenyaga ũrĩa oigaga.)
And it came to pass, that, as they were withdrawing from him, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for. Elijah, not knowing what he said.
34 Na o akĩaragia-rĩ, itu rĩkiumĩra na rĩkĩmahumbĩra, nao magĩĩtigĩra mũno nĩ kũhumbĩrwo nĩ itu rĩu.
While he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid as those men entered the cloud.
35 Mũgambo ũkiuma itu-inĩ rĩu, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa ndĩĩthuurĩire; mũiguagei.”
And there came a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
36 Thuutha wa mũgambo ũcio kũiguĩka, makĩona atĩ Jesũ aarĩ wiki. Nao arutwo magĩkira ki na ũhoro ũcio, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe meerire matukũ-inĩ macio maũndũ marĩa moonete.
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one, in those days, any of the things which they had seen.
37 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, maikũrũka kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, Jesũ agĩtũngwo nĩ andũ aingĩ.
And it came to pass, that, on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ warĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ndagũthaitha ũrore mũriũ wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwana wakwa wa mũmwe.
And, behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying: Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;
39 na ngoma thũku nĩĩmũnyiitaga na agakaya o rĩmwe; ningĩ ĩkamũrũnda na ĩkamũthiorania, ĩgatũma arute mũhũyũ na kanua. Ndĩmũrekagia o na hanini, na nĩĩramwananga.
and, behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him into convulsions, and causes him to foam, and after depriving him of strength, hardly departs from him.
40 Ndĩrathaithire arutwo aku maingate ngoma ĩyo, no mararemwo.”
And I entreated thy disciples to cast it out; but they were not able.
41 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rũciaro rũrũ rũtetĩkagia na rũremi, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũikara hamwe na inyuĩ, na ngũmũkirĩrĩria nginya rĩ? Rehe mũrũguo haha.”
And Jesus answering, said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you! Bring your son hither.
42 Rĩrĩa kamwana kau gaathiiaga harĩ Jesũ, ndaimono ĩyo ĩgĩgatungumania thĩ, na ĩgĩgathiorania. No Jesũ agĩkũũma roho ũcio mũũru, akĩhonia kamwana kau, agĩgacookeria ithe.
And while he was coming, the demon cast him to the ground, and threw him into convulsions; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and restored the child to health, and gave him back to his father.
43 Nao othe makĩgegio nĩ ũnene wa Ngai. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe maagegetio nĩ ũrĩa wothe Jesũ eekĩte, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ,
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they were all wondering at every thing that Jesus did, he said to his disciples:
44 “Thikĩrĩriai wega ũrĩa ngũmwĩra: Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũkunyanĩrwo aneanwo moko-inĩ ma andũ.”
Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 No-o matiamenyire ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩa. Nĩmahithĩtwo ũhoro ũcio, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩaga kũũmenya, na magĩĩtigĩra kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio.
But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they might not understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Na gũkĩgĩa na ngarari gatagatĩ ka arutwo makĩũrania nũũ wao ũngĩtuĩka mũnene kũrĩ arĩa angĩ.
And there arose a contention among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 Nake Jesũ, tondũ nĩamenyaga meciiria mao, akĩoya kaana kanini agĩkarũgamia hakuhĩ nake.
But Jesus perceived the thought of their heart, and he took a little child, and made it stand by him,
48 Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe wamũkagĩra kaana gaka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩ niĩ aamũkagĩra; na ũrĩa ũnyamũkagĩra ti niĩ aamũkagĩra, no nĩ ũrĩa wandũmire. Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa mũnini gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu inyuothe, ũcio nĩwe mũnene kũmũkĩra.”
and said to them: Whoever will receive this little child on my account, receives me; and whoever will receive me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 Nake Johana akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi, nĩtũronire mũndũ akĩingata ndaimono na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na ithuĩ tũrageria kũmũgiria tondũ ti ũmwe witũ.”
And John answered and said: Master, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
50 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũgirie, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũthũ na inyuĩ, ũcio nĩ ũmwe wanyu.”
And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for whoever is not against us, is for us.
51 Na rĩrĩ, kahinda gake gaakuhĩrĩria ga kwambata matu-inĩ, Jesũ nĩatuire itua rĩa gũthiĩ Jerusalemu.
And it came to pass, as the time for him to be taken up into heaven had fully come, that he set his face steadfastly to go up to Jerusalem.
52 Nake agĩtũma andũ mathiĩ mbere yake kũhaarĩria maũndũ nĩ ũndũ wake, magĩthiĩ magĩtoonya gatũũra kamwe ga Samaria;
And he sent messengers before his face; and they went, and entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 no andũ a kũu matiamũnyiitire ũgeni, tondũ aathiiaga Jerusalemu.
And they did not receive him, because his face was turned toward Jerusalem.
54 Rĩrĩa arutwo ake, Jakubu na Johana monire ũguo makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩũkwenda twĩtie mwaki uume igũrũ ũmaniine?”
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said: Lord, is it thy will that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, even as Elijah did?
55 Nowe Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra akĩmakaania,
But he turned and rebuked them, and said: You know not of what spirit you are.
56 nao magĩthiĩ gatũũra kangĩ.
And they went to another village.
57 Rĩrĩa maathiiaga na njĩra, mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩkũrũmagĩrĩra kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga.”
And it came to pass, as they were going on their journey, that a certain man said to him: Lord, I will follow thee wherever thou shalt go.
58 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mbwe nĩ irĩ marima na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ nĩ irĩ itara, no rĩrĩ, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ ndarĩ handũ angĩigĩrĩra mũtwe wake.”
And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
59 Akĩĩra mũndũ ũngĩ atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra.” No mũndũ ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, reke nyambe thiĩ ngathike baba.”
And he said to another: Follow me. But he replied: Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke arĩa akuũ mathikage akuũ ao ene, no wee thiĩ ũkahunjie ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
Jesus said: Let the dead bury their own dead; but do you go and publish abroad the kingdom of God.
61 Na mũndũ ũngĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, niĩ nĩngũkũrũmĩrĩra, no reke nyambe thiĩ ngoigĩre andũ aitũ ũhoro.”
And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but first permit me to take leave of those at home.
62 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũnyiitaga mũraũ na guoko gwake na agacooka kũrora na thuutha wagĩrĩire gũtungata ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
Jesus said to him: No one that puts his hand to the plow, and looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
