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 them in parables (to speak: *N(k)O*) A vineyard a man planted and he placed around [it] a fence and dug a wine vat and built a tower and rented out it to farmers and traveled abroad
2 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya magetha yakinya-rĩ, agĩtũma ndungata yake kũrĩ akombori acio ĩgĩĩre maciaro mamwe ma mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ.
And he sent to the farmers at the due time a servant that from the farmers he may receive from (the fruits *N(k)O*) of the vineyard.
3 Nao makĩmĩnyiita makĩmĩhũũra, na makĩmĩingata ĩtarĩ na kĩndũ.
(*k*) (But *N(k)O*) having taken him they beat [him] and they sent [him] away empty-handed.
4 Agĩcooka akĩmatũmĩra ndungata ĩngĩ; nao magĩtiihia ndungata ĩyo mũtwe na makĩmĩĩka maũndũ ma thoni.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him and him (stoning *K*) they struck on the head and (sent *K*) (dishonored. *N(k)O*)
5 Na o rĩngĩ agĩtũma ndungata ĩngĩ, nayo makĩmĩũraga. Nĩatũmire ndungata ingĩ nyingĩ, imwe ciacio magĩcihũũra, na iria ingĩ magĩciũraga.
And (again *k*) another He sent; and him and him they killed, also many others, (some *N(k)O*) indeed beating, (some *N(k)O*) however killing.
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 (therefore *K*) one (did have *N(k)O*) son beloved (of him; *k*) he sent (and *k*) him last to them saying that They will have respect for the son of mine.
7 “No akombori acio makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩwe ũkaagaya mũgũnda ũyũ. Ũkai, rekei tũmũũrage, nĩguo igai rĩake rĩgaatuĩka riitũ.’
Those however farmers to themselves they said that This is the heir; come let us kill him, and ours will be the inheritance.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũũraga, makĩmũikia nja ya mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ.
And having taken they killed him and cast forth him outside the vineyard.
9 “Rĩu-rĩ, mwene mũgũnda ũcio ageeka atĩa? Agooka oorage akombori acio, acooke ahe andũ angĩ mũgũnda ũcio.
What therefore will do the master of the vineyard? he will come and he will destroy the farmers and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Kaĩ mũtarĩ mwathoma maandĩko maya: “‘Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire, nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine;
Not even Scripture this have you read: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become the chief of [the] corner;
11 Mwathani nĩwe wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, naguo nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona’?”
from [the] Lord was this, and it is marvelous in [the] eyes of us.’?
12 Magĩcaria ũrĩa mangĩmũnyiita tondũ nĩmamenyire aaragia ũhoro wao na ngerekano ĩyo, no nĩmetigagĩra kĩrĩndĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtigana nake, magĩthiĩ.
And they were seeking Him to lay hold of and they feared the crowd; they knew for that against them the parable He had spoken. And having left Him they went away.
13 Thuutha ũcio magĩtũma Afarisai amwe na Aherodia kũrĩ Jesũ nĩguo mamũtege na mĩario yake.
And they send to Him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians that Him they may catch in discourse.
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?
(*k*) (And *N(k)O*) having come they say to Him; Teacher, we know that true You are and not there is care to You about no [one]; not for You look on [the] appearance of men but on the basis of [the] truth the way of God teach. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
15 Tũrutage kana tũtikarutage?” No tondũ Jesũ nĩamenyaga ũhinga wao, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrenda kũngeria nĩkĩ? Ta ndeherai dinari ndĩmĩone.”
shall we pay or not shall we pay? And knowing of them the hypocrisy He said to them; Why Me do you test? do bring Me a denarius 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.”
And they brought [it]. And He says to them; Of whom [is] likeness this and the inscription? And they said to Him; Caesar’s.
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rutagĩrai Kaisari kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake, na mũrutagĩre Ngai kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake.” Nao makĩgegio nĩwe.
(and answering *k*) (And *no*) Jesus said to them; the [things] of Caesar do give back to Caesar and the [things] of God to God. And (they were amazed *N(k)(o)*) at Him.
18 Ningĩ Asadukai, arĩa moigaga atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ na makĩmũũria atĩrĩ,
And come Sadducees to Him who say a resurrection not being and (they were questioning *N(k)O*) 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.
Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if of anyone a brother shall die and he may leave behind a wife and not may leave (child *N(K)O*) that shall take the brother of him the wife (of him *k*) and may raise up seed for the brother of him.
20 Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ aanake mũgwanja a nyina ũmwe. Wa mbere akĩhikania na agĩkua, na ndatige ciana.
Seven brothers there were; and the first took a wife and dying not he left seed.
21 Nake wa keerĩ akĩhikia mũtumia ũcio wa ndigwa, no o nake agĩkua na ndatige ciana. O na wa gatatũ nake agĩĩka o ũguo.
And the second took her and died (and *k*) (not *N(k)O*) (he himself *k*) (having left *N(k)O*) seed 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.
And (took her *k*) the seven (and *k*) not left offspring. (Last *N(k)O*) of all also the woman died.
23 Rĩu-rĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũriũka mũtumia ũcio agaakorwo arĩ wa ũ, nĩgũkorwo othe mũgwanja nĩmamũhikĩtie?”
In the (therefore *K*) resurrection when they may rise of which of them will she be wife? For the seven had her as wife.
24 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũhĩtĩtie tondũ mũtiũĩ Maandĩko kana hinya wa Ngai?
(and *k*) (Was saying *N(k)O*) to them Jesus (said: *k*) Surely because of this do you err not knowing the Scriptures nor [knowing] the power of God?
25 Rĩrĩa akuũ makaariũka, matikahikania kana mahike; magaatuĩka ta araika arĩa marĩ kũu igũrũ.
When for out from [the] dead they may rise, neither do they marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels (*ko*) in the heavens.
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?’
Concerning now the dead that they rise, surely you have read in the book of Moses on (the *N(k)O*) bush (how *N(k)O*) spoke to him God saying; I myself [am] the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?
27 We ti Ngai wa arĩa akuũ, no nĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo. Inyuĩ mũhĩtĩtie mũno.”
Not He is (the *k*) God of [the] dead but (God *k*) of [the] living; (you yourselves therefore *KO*) Greatly you err.
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?”
And having come up one of the scribes, having heard when they are reasoning together, (seeing *N(k)O*) that well He answered them he questioned Him; Which is commandment [the] first (of all *N(k)O*)
29 Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Rĩathani rĩrĩa rĩa bata mũno nĩ rĩĩrĩ: ‘Thikĩrĩria, inyuĩ Isiraeli, Mwathani Ngai witũ, Mwathani nĩ ũmwe.
(now *k*) Answered Jesus (to him *ko*) The first (is *no*) (of all *K(o)*) (commandments: *K*) do listen O Israel: [The] Lord the God of us [the] Lord One is;
30 Endaga Mwathani Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na meciiria maku mothe, na hinya waku wothe.’
and you will love [the] Lord the God of you with all the heart of you and with all the soul of you and with all the mind of you and with all the strength of you.’ (this first commandment. *KO*)
31 Narĩo rĩa keerĩ nĩ rĩrĩ: ‘Endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩendete wee mwene.’ Gũtirĩ rĩathani rĩngĩ inene kũrĩ macio.”
(and *ko*) [The] second (like *KO*) this: You will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’ Greater than these another commandment not there is.
32 Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ti-itherũ nĩwoiga wega atĩ Ngai nĩ ũmwe na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga we!
And said to Him the scribe; Right, Teacher, according to truth You have spoken that One He is (God *K*) and not there is another besides Him.
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 love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding (and from all soul *KO*) and with all the strength and to love the neighbour as oneself (more excessive *N(K)O*) is than all the burnt offerings and (*k*) 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.
And Jesus having seen him that wisely he answered He said to him; Not far are you from the kingdom of God. And no [one] no longer no longer was daring Him to 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 answering Jesus was saying teaching in the temple; How say the scribes that the Christ [the] son of David is?
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.”’
Himself (for *ko*) David said by the Spirit Holy: (Said *NK(o)*) (the *ko*) Lord to the Lord of me; (do sit *NK(o)*) at [the] right hand of Me until when I may place of the enemies of You (under *N(k)O*) of the feet of You.’
37 Daudi we mwene aramwĩta ‘Mwathani.’ Angĩgĩtuĩka mũrũwe atĩa?” Na nĩ haarĩ na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ kĩamũthikagĩrĩria gĩkenete.
Himself (therefore *K*) David names Him Lord, then how of him is He son? And the great crowd was listening to 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,
And (to them *k*) in the teaching of Him He was saying; do beware of the scribes who are desiring in robes to walk about and greetings in the marketplaces
39 na makenda gũikaragĩra itĩ iria cia bata thunagogi-inĩ, na gũikara handũ ha andũ arĩa atĩĩku maruga-inĩ.
and first seats in the synagogues and first places at the feasts,
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.”
those devouring the houses of the widows and as a pretext at great length praying, These will receive more excessive judgment.
41 Jesũ agĩikara thĩ angʼetheire harĩa heekagĩrwo maruta, akĩĩrorera ũrĩa gĩkundi kĩu kĩahothaga. Andũ aingĩ itonga makĩhotha mbeeca nyingĩ.
And having sat down (Jesus *k*) (opposite *NK(o)*) the treasury He was watching how the crowd cast money into the treasury. and many rich were casting [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 having come one widow poor she cast [in] lepta two which is a kodrantes.
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.
And having called to [Him] the disciples of Him (He says *N(k)O*) to them; Amen I say to you that widow this poor more than all (has cast [in] *N(k)O*) of those (casting *N(k)O*) into the treasury;
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.”
All for out of that which is abounding to them cast [in], she however out of the poverty of her all as much as she had cast [in], all the livelihood of her.
