Mariko 2
1 Matukũ manini maathira, Jesũ agĩcooka Kaperinaumu rĩngĩ, nao andũ makĩigua atĩ nĩoka mũciĩ.
And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that he is in the house,
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ aingĩ makĩũngana nginya hakĩaga handũ ha gũikarwo, o na nginya nja ya mũrango, nake akĩmahunjĩria ũhoro.
and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.
3 Nĩhookire andũ, makĩmũrehera mũndũ warũarĩte mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, akuuĩtwo nĩ andũ ana.
And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne 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 come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken [it] up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,
5 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, 'Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'
6 Na rĩrĩ, arutani amwe a watho maarĩ ho, nao makĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ,
And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, 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 one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except 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 immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, 'Why these things reason ye 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, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and 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,
'And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins — (he saith to the paralytic) —
11 “Ndakwĩra atĩrĩ, ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku ũinũke mũciĩ.”
I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away to 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 rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying — 'Never thus did we see.'
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 was 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 of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow 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 came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) 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 the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, 'Why — that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?'
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 Jesus, having heard, saith to them, 'They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.'
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 those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?'
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 to them, 'Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;
20 No ihinda nĩrĩgakinya rĩrĩa mũhikania akeeherio kuuma kũrĩ o, na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakehinga kũrĩa irio.”
but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast — in those days.
21 “Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkagĩra nguo ngũrũ kĩraka kĩerũ. Angĩĩka ũguo, kĩraka kĩu kĩerũ no kĩguucie nguo ĩyo ngũrũ, nakĩo gĩtũme hau hatarũku hatũrĩke makĩria.
'And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old garment, and if not — the new filling it up doth take from the old and the rent doth become 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.”
and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not — the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.'
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 — he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields — and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,
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, 'Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?'
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 to them, 'Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those 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, (at 'Abiathar the chief priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those 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 said to them, 'The sabbath for man was made, 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 also of the sabbath.'
