Mariko 1
1 Kĩambĩrĩria kĩa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũkoniĩ Jesũ Kristũ Mũrũ wa Ngai.
The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii atĩrĩ: “Nĩngũtũma mũtũmwo wakwa athiĩ mbere yaku, ũrĩa ũgũgũthondekera njĩra yaku.”
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my agent before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
3 “Kũrĩ mũgambo wa mũndũ ũkwanĩrĩra werũ-inĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Haarĩriai njĩra ya Mwathani, rũngariai njĩra ciake.’”
The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Johana ookire akĩhunjagia, na akĩbatithanagĩria werũ-inĩ. Aahunjagia atĩ andũ merire, nĩguo marekerwo mehia mao, nĩgeetha mabatithio.
It came to pass, that John was immersing in the wilderness and preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins.
5 Nao andũ othe a bũrũri wa Judea na andũ othe a Jerusalemu magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we. Moimbũraga mehia mao, nake akamabatithĩria rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
And all the land of Judea and the Jerusalemites went out to him, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Johana ehumbaga nguo ciathondeketwo na guoya wa ngamĩĩra, na nĩehotoraga mũcibi wa rũũa njohero, na aarĩĩaga ngigĩ na ũũkĩ wa gĩthaka.
And John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and eating locusts and wild honey.
7 Nayo ndũmĩrĩri yake yarĩ ĩno: “Thuutha wakwa nĩgũgũũka mũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya kũngĩra, ũrĩa niĩ itagĩrĩire kũinamĩrĩra njohore ndigi cia iraatũ ciake.
And he preached, saying, A man mightier than I comes after me of whom I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loosen the strap of his shoes.
8 Niĩ ndĩmũbatithagia na maaĩ, nowe arĩmũbatithagia na Roho Mũtheru.”
I indeed immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
9 Na rĩrĩ, ihinda o rĩu Jesũ agĩũka oimĩte Nazarethi kũu Galili, na akĩbatithio nĩ Johana rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.
10 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimĩraga maaĩ-inĩ akĩona igũrũ rĩahingũka, nake Roho Mũtheru akĩmũikũrũkĩra ahaana ta ndutura.
And straightaway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens divided, and the Spirit descending upon him as a dove.
11 Mũgambo ũkiuma igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “We nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete, na nĩngenaga mũno nĩwe.”
And a voice occurred out of the heavens, Thou are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Na o rĩmwe Roho akĩmuoya akĩmũtwara werũ-inĩ,
And straightaway the Spirit drives him forth into the wilderness.
13 na agĩikara kũu werũ-inĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, akĩgeragio nĩ Shaitani. Nake aikaranagia na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, nao araika makamũtungatagĩra.
And he was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild beasts. And the agents served him.
14 Thuutha wa Johana gũikio njeera, Jesũ agĩthiĩ Galili akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai,
Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the good news of God,
15 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ihinda nĩikinyu, naguo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkuhĩrĩirie. Mwĩrirei mwĩtĩkie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega!”
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent ye, and believe in the good news.
16 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aathiiagĩra hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩa Galili, nĩonire Simoni na mũrũ wa nyina Anderea magĩikia neti ciao iria-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo maarĩ ategi a thamaki.
And walking beside the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, the son of Simon, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, mũnũmĩrĩre, na nĩngamũtua ategi a andũ.”
And Jesus said to them, Come ye behind me, and I will make you to become fishermen of men.
18 O rĩmwe magĩtiganĩria neti ciao makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And straightaway they left the nets, and followed him.
19 Na aathiathia hanini, akĩona Jakubu mũrũ wa Zebedi hamwe na mũrũ wa nyina Johana marĩ gatarũ-inĩ makĩhaarĩria neti ciao.
And having advanced a little from there he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 O rĩmwe akĩmeeta, nao magĩtiga ithe wao Zebedi gatarũ-inĩ hamwe na aruti ake a wĩra na makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And straightaway he called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the workmen, they went behind him.
21 Nao magĩthiĩ Kaperinaumu, na rĩrĩa mũthenya wa Thabatũ wakinyire, Jesũ agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana.
And they entered into Capernaum, and straightaway on the sabbath day, having entered into the synagogue, he taught.
22 Na andũ makĩgegio nĩ ũrutani wake, nĩgũkorwo aamarutaga ta mũndũ warĩ na ũhoti, no ti ta arutani a watho.
And they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scholars.
23 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ o ĩyo kũu thunagogi yao, nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ na ngoma thũku, nake akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ,
And a man was in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 “Ũrenda atĩa na ithuĩ, wee Jesũ wa Nazarethi? Ũũkĩte gũtũniina? Nĩnjũũĩ wee nĩwe ũ! Wee nĩwe Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Ngai.”
saying, Oh no! What is with us and with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Did thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou are, the Holy man of God.
25 Nake Jesũ akĩmĩkũma na hinya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kira na uume thĩinĩ wake!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be thou muzzled, and come out of him.
26 Ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩkĩmũthukathuka na hinya na ĩkiuma thĩinĩ wake ĩgĩkayaga.
And the unclean spirit, having convulsed him and having cried in a great voice, came out of him.
27 Andũ acio othe makĩgega mũno nginya makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũrĩkũ? Ũyũ nĩ ũrutani mwerũ, wĩ na ũhoti! Nĩ araatha o na ngoma thũku na ikamwathĩkĩra.”
And they were all amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What is this new doctrine, that he commands with authority, and the unclean spirits also obey him?
28 Nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja na ihenya bũrũri wothe wa Galili.
And his fame went forth straightaway into the entire region around Galilee.
29 Na maarĩkia kuuma thunagogi, magĩthiĩ na Jakubu na Johana mũciĩ gwa Simoni na Anderea.
And straightaway, when they came forth out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Na rĩrĩ, nyina wa mũtumia wa Simoni aarĩ gĩtanda-inĩ arĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, nao makĩĩra Jesũ ũhoro wake.
But Simon's mother-in-law lay feverish, and straightaway they tell him about her.
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩthiĩ harĩa aarĩ, akĩmũnyiita guoko akĩmũũkĩria. Mũrimũ ũcio wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ ũkĩmũtiga na akĩambĩrĩria kũmatungatĩra.
And upon coming, having taken hold of her hand, he raised her up and the fever left her. And straightaway she served them.
32 Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio thuutha wa riũa gũthũa, andũ makĩrehera Jesũ andũ arĩa othe maarĩ arũaru na arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono.
And having become evening when the sun set they brought to him all who were faring badly, and those who were demon-possessed.
33 Nao andũ a itũũra othe makĩũngana hau mũrango-inĩ wa nyũmba,
And the whole city was gathered together near the door.
34 nake Jesũ akĩhonia andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ na mĩrimũ mĩthemba mĩingĩ. Ningĩ akĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ, no ndetĩkĩririe ndaimono ciarie tondũ nĩciamũũĩ.
And he healed many who were faring badly with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he did not allow the demons to speak, because they had recognized him.
35 Rũciinĩ kĩroko tene kũrĩ o na nduma, Jesũ agĩũkĩra akiuma nyũmba agĩthiĩ handũ keheri-inĩ, akĩhoera ho.
And having risen early, very much in the night, he came out and departed into a desolate place, and prayed there.
36 Nake Simoni na arĩa maarĩ nao magĩthiĩ kũmwetha,
And Simon and those with him searched for him.
37 na rĩrĩa maamuonire, makĩanĩrĩra, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Andũ othe nĩwe maracaria!”
And having found him, they say to him, All are seeking thee.
38 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rekei tuume gũkũ tũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ, matũũra-inĩ marĩa me hakuhĩ, nĩguo hunjie o nakuo. Tondũ nĩkĩo ndokire.”
And he says to them, Let us go into the nearby towns, so that I may preach there also. For I came forth for this.
39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiũrũrũka Galili guothe akĩhunjagia thunagogi-inĩ ciao na akĩingataga ndaimono.
And he was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
40 Na mũndũ ũmwe warĩ na mangũ agĩũka kũrĩ we na akĩmũthaitha aturĩtie maru, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩenda-rĩ, no ũũtherie.”
And a leper comes to him beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou will thou can make me clean.
41 Nake Jesũ akĩringwo nĩ tha nyingĩ, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake akĩhutia mũndũ ũcio. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ngwenda. Therio.”
And Jesus, having felt compassion, having reached out his hand, he touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou clean.
42 Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ ũcio agĩthirwo nĩ mangũ, akĩhonio.
And after he spoke, straightaway the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Nake Jesũ akĩmũkaania na hinya na akĩmwĩra athiĩ,
And having strictly warned him, straightaway he sent him out.
44 ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Menya ndũkeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũhoro ũyũ. No thiĩ ũkeyonanie kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ũrute magongona marĩa Musa aathanĩte nĩ ũndũ wa gũtherio gwaku, ũtuĩke ũira kũrĩ o.”
And he says to him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.
45 No handũ ha ũguo agĩthiĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kwaria na kũmemerekia ũhoro ũcio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ ndacookire kũhota gũtoonya itũũra thĩinĩ akĩonagwo nĩ andũ, no aikaraga na nja kũndũ gũtaarĩ andũ. No andũ no mookaga kũrĩ we moimĩte kũndũ guothe.
But having gone out, he began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so as for him to no longer be able to enter openly into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from all directions.
