Mariko 10
1 Jesũ agĩcooka akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Judea na mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani. O rĩngĩ andũ ikundi magĩũka kũrĩ we, nake akĩmaruta ũhoro o ta ũrĩa aamenyerete gwĩka.
And having risen from there, He comes to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again multitudes come together to Him, and as He had been accustomed, again He was teaching them.
2 Na Afarisai amwe magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩenda kũmũgeria, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie mũndũ atigane na mũtumia wake?”
And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned Him if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting Him,
3 Nake agĩcookia ũhoro, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Musa aamwathire mwĩkage atĩa?”
and He answering said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Musa nĩetĩkagĩria mũndũ aandĩkĩre mũtumia wake marũa ma gũtigana nake, amũte.”
And they said, “Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.”
5 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Musa aamwandĩkĩire watho ũcio tondũ wa ũrĩa muomĩtie ngoro cianyu.
And Jesus answering said to them, “For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
6 No kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria, Ngai ‘ombire mũndũ mũrũme na mũndũ-wa-nja’.
but from the beginning of the creation God made them a male and a female;
7 ‘Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga mũndũ mũrũme atige ithe na nyina na anyiitane na mũtumia wake,
on this account will a man leave his father and mother, and will cleave to his wife,
8 nao eerĩ magatuĩka mwĩrĩ ũmwe.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, acio ti andũ eerĩ rĩngĩ, no nĩ mũndũ ũmwe.
and they will be—the two—for one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh;
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arĩa Ngai anyiitithanĩtie, mũndũ ndakanamatigithanie.”
what God therefore joined together, do not let man separate.”
10 Na maatoonya nyũmba thĩinĩ, arutwo makĩũria Jesũ ũhoro ũcio o rĩngĩ.
And in the house His disciples again questioned Him of the same thing,
11 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe angĩtigana na mũtumia wake acooke ahikie mũtumia ũngĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩ atharĩtie.
and He says to them, “Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, commits adultery against her;
12 Nake mũtumia angĩtigana na mũthuuriwe, ahikĩre mũndũ mũrũme ũngĩ, o nake nĩ atharĩtie.”
and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.”
13 Nao andũ makĩrehera Jesũ twana tũnini nĩguo atũhutie, no arutwo ake makĩmakaania.
And they were bringing to Him children that He might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,
14 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire ũguo, akĩrakara, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rekei twana tũu tũũke kũrĩ niĩ, tigai gũtũgiria, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩ wa arĩa matariĩ ta tuo.
and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and He said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
15 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũrĩa wothe ũtakamũkĩra ũthamaki wa Ngai ta kaana ndakaũtoonya o na atĩa.”
truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a child—he may not enter into it”;
16 Nake akĩoya twana tũu, agĩtũigĩrĩra moko, agĩtũrathima.
and having taken them in His arms, having put [His] hands on them, He was blessing them.
17 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimagaraga, mũndũ ũmwe nĩatengʼerire harĩ we, agĩturia ndu mbere yake, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani mwega, ingĩĩka atĩa nĩguo ngaagaya muoyo wa tene na tene?” (aiōnios g166)
And as He is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to Him, was questioning Him, “Good Teacher, what may I do that I may inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Nake Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkũnjĩta mwega nĩkĩ? Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe mwega, tiga o Ngai we wiki.
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except one—God;
19 Wee nĩ ũũĩ ũrĩa maathani moigĩte: ‘Ndũkanoragane, na ndũkanatharanie, na ndũkanaiye, na ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo, na ndũkanaheenanie, na tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa.’”
you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, You may not defraud, Honor your father and mother.”
20 Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, macio mothe ndũire ndĩmarũmĩtie kuuma ndĩ mũnini.”
And he answering said to Him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.”
21 Nake Jesũ amũrora, akĩmwenda, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ ũndũ ũmwe ũtigairie: Thiĩ wendie indo ciaku ciothe iria ũrĩ nacio ũhe athĩĩni mbeeca icio, na nĩũkagĩa na mũthithũ igũrũ. Ũcooke ũũke, ũnũmĩrĩre.”
And Jesus having looked on him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: go away, whatever you have—sell, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me, having taken up the cross.”
22 Mwanake ũcio agĩtukia gĩthiithi. Agĩthiĩ arĩ na kĩeha, tondũ aarĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ.
And he—gloomy at the word—went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
23 Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ nĩ ũndũ wĩ hinya gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai-ĩ!”
And Jesus having looked around, says to His disciples, “How hardly will they who have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!”
24 Nao arutwo makĩgega maigua ciugo ciake. No Jesũ akiuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Ciana, kaĩ nĩ ũndũ wĩ hinya gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai-ĩ!
And the disciples were astonished at His words, and Jesus again answering says to them, “Children, how hard it is to those trusting on riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 Nĩ ũhũthũ ngamĩĩra kũhungura irima rĩa cindano gũkĩra gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 Arutwo ake magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩkĩhonoka?”
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying to themselves, “And who is able to be saved?”
27 Nake Jesũ akĩmarora, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Harĩ mũndũ ũndũ ũyũ ndũngĩhoteka, no harĩ Ngai tiguo; maũndũ mothe nĩ mahotekaga nĩ Ngai.”
And Jesus, having looked on them, says, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
28 Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtigĩte maũndũ mothe tũgakũrũmĩrĩra!”
And Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we left all, and we followed You.”
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtigĩte mũciĩ kana ariũ a nyina, kana aarĩ a nyina, kana nyina, kana ithe, kana ciana, o na kana ithaka nĩ ũndũ wakwa, na nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega,
And Jesus answering said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for My sake, and for the good news’,
31 No rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ arĩa marĩ mbere nĩmagatuĩka a thuutha, na a thuutha matuĩke a mbere.”
and many first will be last, and the last first.”
32 Na rĩrĩa maarĩ njĩra-inĩ makĩambata merekeire Jerusalemu, Jesũ amatongoretie, arutwo ake nĩmagegire, nao arĩa maamarũmĩrĩire magĩĩtigĩra. O rĩngĩ Jesũ agĩtwara arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ keheri-inĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũmeera maũndũ marĩa maakirie kũmũkora.
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the Twelve, He began to tell them the things about to happen to Him:
33 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũkwambata tũthiĩ Jerusalemu, nake Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũkunyanĩrwo kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na kũrĩ arutani a watho. Nao mamũtuĩre kũũragwo na mamũneane kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ,
“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and will deliver Him to the nations,
34 nao mamũnyũrũrie na mamũtuĩre mata, na mamũhũũre iboko o na mamũũrage. No thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ nĩakariũka.”
and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him, and the third day He will rise again.”
35 Na rĩrĩ, Jakubu na Johana, ariũ a Zebedi, magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ. Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, tũkwenda ũtwĩkĩre o ũrĩa tũgũkũhooya.”
And there come near to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, “Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, You may do for us”;
36 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũkwenda ndĩmwĩkĩre atĩa?”
and He said to them, “What do you wish Me to do for you?”
37 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũgaikara ũmwe guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo na ũrĩa ũngĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũmotho riiri-inĩ waku.”
And they said to Him, “Grant to us that, one on Your right hand and one on Your left, we may sit in Your glory”;
38 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtiũĩ kĩrĩa mũrahooya. Mwahota kũnyuĩra gĩkombe kĩrĩa niĩ ngũnyuĩra, kana mũbatithio na ũbatithio ũrĩa ngũbatithio naguo?”
and Jesus said to them, “You have not known what you ask; are you able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the immersion that I am immersed with—to be immersed?”
39 Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ no tũhote.” Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gĩkombe kĩrĩa ngũnyuĩra nĩ mũkaanyuĩra, o na mũbatithio na ũbatithio ũrĩa ngũbatithio naguo.
And they said to Him, “We are able”; and Jesus said to them, “Of the cup indeed that I drink of, you will drink, and with the immersion that I am immersed with, you will be immersed;
40 No ha ũhoro wa gũikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo kana kwa ũmotho ti niĩ heanaga. Itĩ icio ikaaheo arĩa mathondekeirwo cio.”
but to sit on My right and on My left is not Mine to give, but—to those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 Rĩrĩa arutwo acio angĩ ikũmi maiguire ũhoro ũcio, makĩrakarĩra Jakubu na Johana.
And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,
42 Nake Jesũ akĩmeeta hamwe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũũĩ atĩ andũ arĩa matuuagwo aathani a andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩmetũũgagĩria igũrũ rĩao, nao anene ao nĩmamaathaga.
but Jesus having called them near, says to them, “You have known that they who are considered to rule the nations exercise lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority on them;
43 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtitariĩ ũguo. Handũ ha ũguo, ũrĩa wothe ũngĩenda gũtuĩka mũnene thĩinĩ wanyu no nginya atuĩke ndungata yanyu,
but not so will it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he will be your minister,
44 nake ũrĩa wothe ũkwenda gũtuĩka wa mbere thĩinĩ wanyu, no nginya atuĩke ngombo ya andũ othe.
and whoever of you may will to become first, he will be servant of all;
45 Nĩgũkorwo o na Mũrũ wa Mũndũ ndookire gũtungatĩrwo, no ookire gũtungata na arute muoyo wake nĩguo arĩhe thogora wa gũkũũra andũ aingĩ.”
for even the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His life [as] a ransom for many.”
46 Nao magĩkinya Jeriko. Na rĩrĩa Jesũ na arutwo ake, hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene moimaga itũũra-inĩ rĩu, mũndũ warĩ mũtumumu wetagwo Baritimayo (ũguo nĩ kuuga mũrũ wa Timayo), aikarĩte thĩ mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra akĩhooya thendi.
And they come to Jericho, and as He is going forth from Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus—Bartimaeus the blind—was sitting beside the way begging,
47 Na rĩrĩa aiguire atĩ nĩ Jesũ wa Nazarethi, akĩambĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ, Mũrũ wa Daudi, njiguĩra tha!”
and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, “The Son of David—Jesus! Deal kindly with me”;
48 Andũ aingĩ makĩmũkaania, makĩmwĩra akire, nowe agĩkĩrĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra, akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Daudi, njiguĩra tha!”
and many were rebuking him that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, “Son of David, deal kindly with me.”
49 Nake Jesũ akĩrũgama, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩtei.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩta mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩyũmĩrĩrie! Rũgama! Nĩaragwĩta.”
And Jesus having stood, He commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage, rise, He calls you”;
50 Agĩteania nguo yake ya igũrũ, agĩũkĩra na ihenya agĩthiĩ harĩ Jesũ.
and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, came to Jesus.
51 Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngwĩkĩre atĩa?” Nake mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ngwenda o njooke kuona.”
And answering, Jesus says to him, “What do you will I may do to you?” And the blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may see again”;
52 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩthiĩre, wĩtĩkio waku nĩguo watũma ũhone.” O rĩmwe akĩambĩrĩria kuona, nake akĩrũmĩrĩra Jesũ.
and Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you”: and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
