Mariko 12
1 Nake akĩambĩrĩria kũmahe ũhoro na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũmwe nĩahaandire mũgũnda wake mĩthabibũ. Agĩaka rũgiri rũgĩthiũrũrũkĩria mũgũnda ũcio, na akĩenja irima rĩa kũhihĩra thabibũ, na agĩaka nyũmba ndaaya na igũrũ ya arangĩri. Agĩcooka agĩkomborithia mũgũnda ũcio kũrĩ arĩmi angĩ, na agĩthiĩ rũgendo.
And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
2 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya magetha yakinya-rĩ, agĩtũma ndungata yake kũrĩ akombori acio ĩgĩĩre maciaro mamwe ma mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ.
And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard.
3 Nao makĩmĩnyiita makĩmĩhũũra, na makĩmĩingata ĩtarĩ na kĩndũ.
But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie.
4 Agĩcooka akĩmatũmĩra ndungata ĩngĩ; nao magĩtiihia ndungata ĩyo mũtwe na makĩmĩĩka maũndũ ma thoni.
And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 Na o rĩngĩ agĩtũma ndungata ĩngĩ, nayo makĩmĩũraga. Nĩatũmire ndungata ingĩ nyingĩ, imwe ciacio magĩcihũũra, na iria ingĩ magĩciũraga.
And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some.
6 “Mũndũ ũcio ndaarĩ na mũndũ ũngĩ watigaire wa gũtũma, tiga o mũriũ wake ũrĩa eendete mũno. Akĩmũtũma thuutha wa acio angĩ othe, akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩmegũtĩĩa mũrũ wakwa.’
Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
7 “No akombori acio makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩwe ũkaagaya mũgũnda ũyũ. Ũkai, rekei tũmũũrage, nĩguo igai rĩake rĩgaatuĩka riitũ.’
But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũũraga, makĩmũikia nja ya mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ.
So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 “Rĩu-rĩ, mwene mũgũnda ũcio ageeka atĩa? Agooka oorage akombori acio, acooke ahe andũ angĩ mũgũnda ũcio.
What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others.
10 Kaĩ mũtarĩ mwathoma maandĩko maya: “‘Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire, nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine;
Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner.
11 Mwathani nĩwe wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, naguo nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona’?”
This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
12 Magĩcaria ũrĩa mangĩmũnyiita tondũ nĩmamenyire aaragia ũhoro wao na ngerekano ĩyo, no nĩmetigagĩra kĩrĩndĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtigana nake, magĩthiĩ.
Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way.
13 Thuutha ũcio magĩtũma Afarisai amwe na Aherodia kũrĩ Jesũ nĩguo mamũtege na mĩario yake.
And they sent vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of ye Herodians that they might take him in his talke.
14 Magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩtũũĩ atĩ ũrĩ mũndũ wa ma. Ndwĩtigagĩra andũ, tondũ ndũrũmbũyagia ũrĩa mahaana; no ũrutanaga ũhoro wa Ngai na ma. Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ kwagĩrĩire kũrutĩra Kaisari mbeeca cia igooti, kana aca?
And when they came, they saide vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou considerest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God truely, Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not?
15 Tũrutage kana tũtikarutage?” No tondũ Jesũ nĩamenyaga ũhinga wao, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrenda kũngeria nĩkĩ? Ta ndeherai dinari ndĩmĩone.”
Should we giue it, or should we not giue it? but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, that I may see it.
16 Makĩmũrehera dinari ĩyo, nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mbica ĩno na rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ nĩ cia ũ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ cia Kaisari.”
So they brought it, and he said vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? and they said vnto him, Cesars.
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rutagĩrai Kaisari kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake, na mũrutagĩre Ngai kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake.” Nao makĩgegio nĩwe.
Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him.
18 Ningĩ Asadukai, arĩa moigaga atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ na makĩmũũria atĩrĩ,
Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying,
19 “Mũrutani, Musa aatwandĩkĩire atĩ mũrũ wa nyina na mũndũ angĩkua atige mũtumia atarĩ na ciana-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio no nginya ahikie mũtumia ũcio watigwo, aciarĩre mũrũ wa nyina ciana.
Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother.
20 Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ aanake mũgwanja a nyina ũmwe. Wa mbere akĩhikania na agĩkua, na ndatige ciana.
There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
21 Nake wa keerĩ akĩhikia mũtumia ũcio wa ndigwa, no o nake agĩkua na ndatige ciana. O na wa gatatũ nake agĩĩka o ũguo.
Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, and the third likewise:
22 Ũhoro wa ma nĩ atĩ, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa acio mũgwanja watigire ciana. Thuutha wao othe, mũtumia ũcio o nake agĩkua.
So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also.
23 Rĩu-rĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũriũka mũtumia ũcio agaakorwo arĩ wa ũ, nĩgũkorwo othe mũgwanja nĩmamũhikĩtie?”
In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife.
24 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũhĩtĩtie tondũ mũtiũĩ Maandĩko kana hinya wa Ngai?
Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 Rĩrĩa akuũ makaariũka, matikahikania kana mahike; magaatuĩka ta araika arĩa marĩ kũu igũrũ.
For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen.
26 Naguo ha ũhoro wa akuũ kũriũka-rĩ, kaĩ mũtathomete ibuku-inĩ rĩa Musa, ũhoro ũkoniĩ kĩhinga kĩrĩa kĩahĩaga, na ũrĩa Ngai aamwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai wa Iburahĩmu na Ngai wa Isaaka, o na Ngai wa Jakubu?’
And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?
27 We ti Ngai wa arĩa akuũ, no nĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo. Inyuĩ mũhĩtĩtie mũno.”
God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.
28 Na rĩrĩ, mũrutani ũmwe wa watho nĩokire akĩigua makĩaria. Aamenya atĩ Jesũ nĩamacookeirie icookio rĩega-rĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Harĩ maathani marĩa mangĩ mothe-rĩ, nĩ rĩrĩkũ rĩa bata mũno?”
Then came one of the Scribes that had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, he asked him, Which is the first commandement of all?
29 Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Rĩathani rĩrĩa rĩa bata mũno nĩ rĩĩrĩ: ‘Thikĩrĩria, inyuĩ Isiraeli, Mwathani Ngai witũ, Mwathani nĩ ũmwe.
Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements is, Heare, Israel, The Lord our God is the onely Lord.
30 Endaga Mwathani Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na meciiria maku mothe, na hinya waku wothe.’
Thou shalt therefore loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandement.
31 Narĩo rĩa keerĩ nĩ rĩrĩ: ‘Endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩendete wee mwene.’ Gũtirĩ rĩathani rĩngĩ inene kũrĩ macio.”
And the second is like, that is, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other commandement greater then these.
32 Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ti-itherũ nĩwoiga wega atĩ Ngai nĩ ũmwe na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga we!
Then that Scribe said vnto him, Well, Master, thou hast saide the trueth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he,
33 Ningĩ ũmwende na ngoro yaku yothe, o na ũmenyo waku wothe, o na hinya waku wothe; o nakuo kwenda mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩendete wee mwene, ũcio nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ bata gũkĩra maruta mothe ma njino na magongona.”
And to loue him with all the heart, and with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire nĩacookia wega, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, ndũrĩ haraaya na ũthamaki wa Ngai.” Na kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kũũmĩrĩria kũmũũria ciũria ingĩ.
Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely, he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question.
35 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ akĩrutana nja-inĩ cia hekarũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutani a watho moige atĩ Kristũ nĩ mũrũ wa Daudi?
And Iesus answered and said teaching in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ is the sonne of Dauid?
36 Daudi we mwene, akĩaria arĩ na Roho Mũtheru, oigire atĩrĩ: “‘Mwathani eerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo nginya ngaiga thũ ciaku rungu rwa makinya maku.”’
For Dauid himselfe said by ye holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
37 Daudi we mwene aramwĩta ‘Mwathani.’ Angĩgĩtuĩka mũrũwe atĩa?” Na nĩ haarĩ na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ kĩamũthikagĩrĩria gĩkenete.
Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people heard him gladly.
38 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩrutana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei arutani a watho. Mendete gũthiĩ mehumbĩte nguo iria ndaaya na kũgeithagio nĩ andũ othe rĩrĩa mekũgera ndũnyũ-inĩ,
Moreouer he saide vnto them in his doctrine, Beware of the Scribes which loue to goe in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets,
39 na makenda gũikaragĩra itĩ iria cia bata thunagogi-inĩ, na gũikara handũ ha andũ arĩa atĩĩku maruga-inĩ.
And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues, and the first roumes at feastes,
40 Na no-o matoonyagĩrĩra nyũmba cia atumia a ndigwa makamatunya indo ciao, na nĩguo meyonanie, makahooya mahooya maraihu. Andũ ta acio nĩ makaaherithio mũno makĩria.”
Which deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue the greater damnation.
41 Jesũ agĩikara thĩ angʼetheire harĩa heekagĩrwo maruta, akĩĩrorera ũrĩa gĩkundi kĩu kĩahothaga. Andũ aingĩ itonga makĩhotha mbeeca nyingĩ.
And as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, he beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much.
42 No mũtumia ũmwe wa ndigwa warĩ mũthĩĩni agĩũka akĩhotha tũthendi twĩrĩ tũnini mũno twa gĩcango tũrĩa twarĩ mũigana wa mbeeca ĩmwe.
And there came a certaine poore widowe, and she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin.
43 Jesũ agĩĩta arutwo ake harĩ we, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũtumia ũyũ wa ndigwa mũthĩĩni nĩekĩra mbeeca nyingĩ kĩgĩĩna-inĩ gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
Then he called vnto him his disciples, and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast more in, then all they which haue cast into the treasurie.
44 Acio angĩ othe maheana kũringana na ũingĩ wa ũtonga wao, no mũtumia ũyũ aheana kĩrĩa gĩothe oima nakĩo, o na arĩ mũthĩĩni-rĩ, aheana mũthithũ wake wothe.”
For they all did cast in of their superfluitie: but she of her pouertie did cast in all that she had, euen all her liuing.
