Mariko 2
1 Matukũ manini maathira, Jesũ agĩcooka Kaperinaumu rĩngĩ, nao andũ makĩigua atĩ nĩoka mũciĩ.
And, entering again into Capernaum, after some days, it was heard say—He is in a house;
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ aingĩ makĩũngana nginya hakĩaga handũ ha gũikarwo, o na nginya nja ya mũrango, nake akĩmahunjĩria ũhoro.
and many were gathered together, so that no longer was there room even in the approaches to the door, —and he began speaking unto them the word;
3 Nĩhookire andũ, makĩmũrehera mũndũ warũarĩte mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, akuuĩtwo nĩ andũ ana.
and they come, bearing unto him a paralytic, upborne by four, —
4 Na tondũ matingĩahotire kũmũkinyia harĩa Jesũ aarĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũingĩ wa andũ-rĩ, magĩtharũria nyũmba igũrũ wa hau Jesũ aarĩ na maarĩkia kũhatharia, makĩharũrũkia mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga arĩ kĩbarĩ-inĩ kĩu aakomeire.
and, not being able to get near him by reason of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they began letting down the couch whereon the paralytic was lying;
5 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
and, Jesus, seeing their faith, saith unto the paralytic—Child! forgiven are thy sins!
6 Na rĩrĩ, arutani amwe a watho maarĩ ho, nao makĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ,
Now there were certain of the Scribes there, sitting and deliberating in their hearts, —
7 “Mũndũ ũyũ ekwaria ũguo nĩkĩ? Nĩ araruma Ngai! Nũũ ũngĩ ũngĩhota kũrekanĩra mehia tiga Ngai wiki?”
Why doth, this, man thus talk? he is speaking profanely! Who can forgive sins, save one, God?
8 O rĩmwe Jesũ akĩmenya thĩinĩ wa roho wake atĩ ũguo nĩguo meciiragia ngoro-inĩ ciao, nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mwĩciirie maũndũ macio ngoro-inĩ cianyu?
And Jesus, straightway, taking note in his spirit, that [thus] they are deliberating within themselves, saith [unto them]—Why, these things, are ye deliberating in your hearts?
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mũhũthũ: kwĩra mũndũ ũyũ ũkuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ warekerwo mehia maku,’ kana kũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkĩra woe kĩbarĩ gĩaku wĩtware’?
Which is easier—to say unto the paralytic, Forgiven are thy sins, or to say, Rise, [and] take up thy couch, and be walking?
10 No nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ arĩ na ũhoti gũkũ thĩ wa kũrekanĩra mehia-rĩ ….” Akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ,
But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:
11 “Ndakwĩra atĩrĩ, ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku ũinũke mũciĩ.”
To thee, I say, Rise, take up thy couch, and be going thy way unto thy house.
12 Nake agĩũkĩra, akĩoya kĩbarĩ gĩake, agĩĩthiĩra andũ othe mamwĩroreire. Ũndũ ũcio ũgĩtũma andũ othe magege, nao makĩgooca Ngai, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ tũtirĩ tuona ũndũ ta ũyũ-ĩ!”
And he arose, and, straightway taking up the couch, went forth before all, —so that all were beside themselves and were glorifying God, [saying]—Thus, we never saw it!
13 O rĩngĩ Jesũ nĩoimagarire agĩthiĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria; nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩgĩũka kũrĩ we, nake akĩambĩrĩria gũkĩruta ũhoro.
And he went forth again by the sea, —and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he began teaching them.
14 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aahĩtũkaga, akĩona Lawi mũrũ wa Alufayo aikarĩte harĩa heetagĩrio mbeeca cia igooti. Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra,” nake Lawi agĩũkĩra akĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And, passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting over the tax-office, —and saith unto him—Be following me! And, arising, he followed him.
15 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩĩaga irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ nyũmba kwa Lawi, etia mbeeca cia igooti aingĩ na ehia nĩmarĩĩanĩire nake na arutwo ake, tondũ maarĩ aingĩ nĩmamũrũmĩrĩire.
And it cometh to pass, that he is reclining in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they began following him.
16 Rĩrĩa arutani a watho arĩa maarĩ Afarisai moonire akĩrĩĩanĩra na andũ ehia na etia mbeeca cia igooti, makĩũria arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Arĩĩanagĩra na etia mbeeca cia igooti na ehia nĩkĩ?”
And the Scribes and Pharisees, seeing that he was eating with the sinners and the tax-collectors, began saying unto his disciples—With the tax-collectors and sinners, is he eating?
17 Nake Jesũ aigua ũguo akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa agima mĩĩrĩ ti o mabataragio nĩ ndagĩtarĩ, no nĩ arĩa arũaru. Ndiokire gwĩta andũ arĩa athingu, no nĩ arĩa ehia.”
And, hearing it, Jesus saith unto them—No need, have the strong of a physician, but they who are sick, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
18 Na rĩrĩ, arutwo a Johana na Afarisai nĩmehingĩte kũrĩa irio. Andũ amwe magĩũka makĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo a Johana na arutwo a Afarisai mehinge kũrĩa irio, no arutwo aku matiĩhingaga?”
And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say unto him—For what cause, do, the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?
19 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ageni a mũhikania mangĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio atĩa rĩrĩa arĩ hamwe nao? Matingĩhinga rĩrĩa rĩothe marĩ hamwe nake.
And Jesus said unto them—Is it possible for the sons of the bridechamber, while the bridegroom is with them, to be fasting? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, it is impossible, to fast.
20 No ihinda nĩrĩgakinya rĩrĩa mũhikania akeeherio kuuma kũrĩ o, na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakehinga kũrĩa irio.”
But there will come days, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and, then, they will fast, in that day.
21 “Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkagĩra nguo ngũrũ kĩraka kĩerũ. Angĩĩka ũguo, kĩraka kĩu kĩerũ no kĩguucie nguo ĩyo ngũrũ, nakĩo gĩtũme hau hatarũku hatũrĩke makĩria.
No one, seweth a patch of unshrunk cloth upon an old mantle, —otherwise, at least, the shrinking teareth away from it—the new from the old—and, a worse rent is made.
22 Ningĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkĩraga ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ ngũrũ. Angĩĩka ũguo, ndibei ĩyo no ĩtarũre mondo icio, nayo ndibei ĩyo ĩitĩke, nacio mondo ithũke. No rĩrĩ, ndibei ya mũhihano ĩĩkĩragwo thĩinĩ wa mondo njerũ.”
And, no one, poureth new wine into fold skins, —otherwise, at least, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and, the skins. [But new wine is for unused skins.]
23 Na mũthenya ũmwe warĩ wa Thabatũ-rĩ, Jesũ nĩatuĩkanĩirie mĩgũnda-inĩ ya ngano. Na rĩrĩa aathiiaga arĩ hamwe na arutwo ake, arutwo makĩambĩrĩria gũtua ngira cia ngano.
And it came to pass, that he, on the Sabbath, was passing through the cornfields, and his disciples began to be going forward, plucking the ears of corn.
24 Nao Afarisai makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora, nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma arutwo aku meke ũrĩa watho ũtetĩkĩrĩtie mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
And, the Pharisees, were saying, —See! why are they doing, on the Sabbath, what is not allowed?
25 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtarĩ mwathoma ũrĩa Daudi we mwene na arĩa maarĩ nake meekire rĩrĩa maarĩ ahũtu na makabatario nĩ gĩa kũrĩa?
And he saith unto them—Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and hungered, —he, and they who were with him:
26 Aatoonyire nyũmba ya Ngai rĩrĩa Abiatharu aarĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, akĩrĩa mĩgate ĩrĩa yamũrĩirwo Ngai, o ĩrĩa yetĩkĩrĩtio kũrĩĩagwo nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai oiki. Na agĩcooka akĩhe arĩa maarĩ nake ĩmwe yayo.”
[how] he entered into the house of God, while Abiathar was High-priest, and, the presence-bread, did eat, —which it is not allowed to eat, save unto the priests, —and gave, unto them also who were with him?
27 Ningĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya wa Thabatũ wekĩrirwo ho nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ, no mũndũ ndombirwo nĩ ũndũ wa Thabatũ.
And he was saying unto them—The Sabbath, for man, was made, and not, man, for, the Sabbath:
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩ Mwathani o na wa mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
So that the Son of Man is, Lord, even of the Sabbath.
