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 He arose from thence and came into the coasts of Judea, through the country beyond Jordan: and the people resorted to Him again; and, as He was wont, He taught them again.
2 Na Afarisai amwe magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩenda kũmũgeria, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie mũndũ atigane na mũtumia wake?”
And the pharisees came to Him and asked Him, "if it were lawful for a man to put away his wife," tempting Him.
3 Nake agĩcookia ũhoro, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Musa aamwathire mwĩkage atĩa?”
And he answered and said unto 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 a man to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
5 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Musa aamwandĩkĩire watho ũcio tondũ wa ũrĩa muomĩtie ngoro cianyu.
And Jesus replied, He wrote this precept on account of your cruel tempers:
6 No kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria, Ngai ‘ombire mũndũ mũrũme na mũndũ-wa-nja’.
but from the beginning of the world, God created them male and female.
7 ‘Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga mũndũ mũrũme atige ithe na nyina na anyiitane na mũtumia wake,
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
8 nao eerĩ magatuĩka mwĩrĩ ũmwe.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, acio ti andũ eerĩ rĩngĩ, no nĩ mũndũ ũmwe.
and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arĩa Ngai anyiitithanĩtie, mũndũ ndakanamatigithanie.”
Therefore let not man separate what God hath joined together.
10 Na maatoonya nyũmba thĩinĩ, arutwo makĩũria Jesũ ũhoro ũcio o rĩngĩ.
And when they were in the house his disciples asked Him again about it:
11 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe angĩtigana na mũtumia wake acooke ahikie mũtumia ũngĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩ atharĩtie.
and He told them, Whoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her.
12 Nake mũtumia angĩtigana na mũthuuriwe, ahikĩre mũndũ mũrũme ũngĩ, o nake nĩ atharĩtie.”
And if a woman be divorced from her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 Nao andũ makĩrehera Jesũ twana tũnini nĩguo atũhutie, no arutwo ake makĩmakaania.
And they brought to Him little children that He might touch them: and the disciples rebuked those that brought 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.
Which Jesus observing, was much displeased, and said to them, Let the children come to me; and hinder them not; 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.”
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall by no means enter into it.
16 Nake akĩoya twana tũu, agĩtũigĩrĩra moko, agĩtũrathima.
And He took them in his arms, and put his hands upon them, and blessed 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 went out into the way, there came one running and kneeling to Him, and asked Him, Good master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Nake Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkũnjĩta mwega nĩkĩ? Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe mwega, tiga o Ngai we wiki.
And Jesus said unto him, Why dost thou call me good? there is none good, but one, that is 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.’”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and thy mother.
20 Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, macio mothe ndũire ndĩmarũmĩtie kuuma ndĩ mũnini.”
And he answered and said unto Him, Master, all these have I 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.”
Then Jesus looked upon him with affection, and said to him, One thing thou wantest; go, sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross and follow me.
22 Mwanake ũcio agĩtukia gĩthiithi. Agĩthiĩ arĩ na kĩeha, tondũ aarĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ.
But he was sad at that saying, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ nĩ ũndũ wĩ hinya gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai-ĩ!”
And Jesus looking round about saith to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that 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. But Jesus repeating it, saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them, that trust in 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 pass through the eye of a 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 exceedingly amazed, saying one to another, Who then can be saved?
27 Nake Jesũ akĩmarora, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Harĩ mũndũ ũndũ ũyũ ndũngĩhoteka, no harĩ Ngai tiguo; maũndũ mothe nĩ mahotekaga nĩ Ngai.”
But Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.
28 Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtigĩte maũndũ mothe tũgakũrũmĩrĩra!”
Then Peter said to Him, Behold we have left all, and followed thee.
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 answered and said, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
31 No rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ arĩa marĩ mbere nĩmagatuĩka a thuutha, na a thuutha matuĩke a mbere.”
But many that are first shall 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 went before them: and they were amazed at it, and afraid to follow Him. And again taking the twelve aside, He began to tell them what things should befal 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,
saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles;
34 nao mamũnyũrũrie na mamũtuĩre mata, na mamũhũũre iboko o na mamũũrage. No thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ nĩakariũka.”
and they will insult Him, and scourge Him, and spit upon Him, and put Him to death: but on the third day He shall rise again.
35 Na rĩrĩ, Jakubu na Johana, ariũ a Zebedi, magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ. Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, tũkwenda ũtwĩkĩre o ũrĩa tũgũkũhooya.”
Then come to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, Master, we desire that thou wouldest do for us what we shall request:
36 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũkwenda ndĩmwĩkĩre atĩa?”
and He said to them, What do ye desire 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.”
they said unto Him, Grant that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory.
38 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtiũĩ kĩrĩa mũrahooya. Mwahota kũnyuĩra gĩkombe kĩrĩa niĩ ngũnyuĩra, kana mũbatithio na ũbatithio ũrĩa ngũbatithio naguo?”
But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
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, We can. And Jesus said unto them, The cup indeed which I drink, ye shall drink of; and with the baptism, that I am baptized with, shall ye be baptized:
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 hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but for whom it is prepared.
41 Rĩrĩa arutwo acio angĩ ikũmi maiguire ũhoro ũcio, makĩrakarĩra Jakubu na Johana.
And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked 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 called them to Him, and said unto them, Ye know that those who rule among the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their grandees exercise authority upon them.
43 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtitariĩ ũguo. Handũ ha ũguo, ũrĩa wothe ũngĩenda gũtuĩka mũnene thĩinĩ wanyu no nginya atuĩke ndungata yanyu,
But it shall not be so among you: but whoever would be great among you shall be your minister;
44 nake ũrĩa wothe ũkwenda gũtuĩka wa mbere thĩinĩ wanyu, no nginya atuĩke ngombo ya andũ othe.
and whoever of you would be first shall 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 the Son of man came not to be ministred unto, but to minister and to give his life 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 came to Jericho: and as He was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side begging.
47 Na rĩrĩa aiguire atĩ nĩ Jesũ wa Nazarethi, akĩambĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ, Mũrũ wa Daudi, njiguĩra tha!”
And hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
48 Andũ aingĩ makĩmũkaania, makĩmwĩra akire, nowe agĩkĩrĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra, akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Daudi, njiguĩra tha!”
And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace: but he cried out so much the more, Thou son of David, have pity on me.
49 Nake Jesũ akĩrũgama, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩtei.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩta mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩyũmĩrĩrie! Rũgama! Nĩaragwĩta.”
And Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be called: so they called the blind man, and said to him, Be of good courage, rise up, He calleth thee.
50 Agĩteania nguo yake ya igũrũ, agĩũkĩra na ihenya agĩthiĩ harĩ Jesũ.
And he threw off his outer garment, and arose, and came to Jesus.
51 Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngwĩkĩre atĩa?” Nake mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũtumumu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ngwenda o njooke kuona.”
And Jesus said to him, What dost thou desire that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to Him, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
52 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩthiĩre, wĩtĩkio waku nĩguo watũma ũhone.” O rĩmwe akĩambĩrĩria kuona, nake akĩrũmĩrĩra Jesũ.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy faith has cured thee. And he immediately recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
