Mariko 2
1 Matukũ manini maathira, Jesũ agĩcooka Kaperinaumu rĩngĩ, nao andũ makĩigua atĩ nĩoka mũciĩ.
And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house,
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ aingĩ makĩũngana nginya hakĩaga handũ ha gũikarwo, o na nginya nja ya mũrango, nake akĩmahunjĩria ũhoro.
great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them,
3 Nĩhookire andũ, makĩmũrehera mũndũ warũarĩte mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, akuuĩtwo nĩ andũ ana.
there came some to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men:
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 come near to Him for the croud, they uncovered the roof where He was, and when they had made an openning, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was laid.
5 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 Na rĩrĩ, arutani amwe a watho maarĩ ho, nao makĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ,
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning 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 speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but 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, who knew immediately in his spirit that they were thus reasoning within themselves, said unto them, Why do ye dispute these things 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 to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, take up thy couch, and walk?
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 power on earth to forgive sins,
11 “Ndakwĩra atĩrĩ, ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku ũinũke mũciĩ.”
I say unto thee (saith He to the paralytic, ) Arise, and take up thy couch, and go thy way to thine own 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 instantly arose, and taking up his couch, went out before them all, so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw the like.
13 O rĩngĩ Jesũ nĩoimagarire agĩthiĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria; nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩgĩũka kũrĩ we, nake akĩambĩrĩria gũkĩruta ũhoro.
And He went out again towards the sea-side, and all the people resorted to Him, and He taught 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 as He went along, He saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receit of custom, and saith unto him, Follow me: and he rose up and 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 as He sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners also sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed 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, when they saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, What is the meaning that He eateth with publicans and sinners?
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.”
Which Jesus hearing, saith unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are ill: 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 as the disciples of John, and of the pharisees used to fast, they came to Him, saying, Why do the disciples of John and of the pharisees fast, but 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, Can the bridemen fast, when the bridegroom is with them? while the bridegroom is with them, they cannot fast:
20 No ihinda nĩrĩgakinya rĩrĩa mũhikania akeeherio kuuma kũrĩ o, na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakehinga kũrĩa irio.”
but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; and then shall they fast.
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 man seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; otherwise, it's new patch teareth from the old, and the rent is made worse:
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.”
nor does any one put new wine into old vessels; otherwise the new wine bursteth the vessels, and the wine is spilt, and the vessels are destroyed: but new wine should be put into new vessels.
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 as He was going thro' the corn-fields on the sabbath-day, his disciples began as they went along to pluck 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 said to Him, See, why do they what is not lawful to be done on the sabbath-day?
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 said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, in his necessity, when he was hungry, himself and those that 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 went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards the high priest, and did eat the shew-bread, which it is not lawful for any to eat, but the priests, and gave also to them that 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 said moreover unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath:
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩ Mwathani o na wa mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
and therefore the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
