Mariko 3
1 Ningĩ nĩatoonyire thunagogi rĩngĩ, na thĩinĩ nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ wonjete guoko.
Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.
2 Andũ amwe ao nĩmacaragia ũndũ mangĩthitangĩra Jesũ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũrora mũno mone kana nĩekũhonia mũndũ ũcio mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
3 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio warĩ mwonju guoko atĩrĩ, “Rũgama haha mbere ya andũ othe.”
Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”
4 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mwĩtĩkĩrie nĩ watho mũthenya wa Thabatũ; nĩ gwĩka wega kana nĩ gwĩka ũũru, nĩ kũhonokia muoyo kana nĩ kũũraga?” No-o magĩkira ki.
And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.
5 Akĩmarora arakaire, na aiguĩte ũũru nĩ ũndũ wa ũremi wa ngoro ciao, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku.” Nake agĩgũtambũrũkia, nakuo guoko gũkĩhona biũ.
Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai makiumagara na makĩambĩrĩria gũthugunda me hamwe na Aherodia ũrĩa mangĩũraga Jesũ.
At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
7 Nake Jesũ na arutwo ake makiuma kũu magĩthiĩ iria-inĩ, nakĩo gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ kuuma Galili gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,
8 Na rĩrĩa maiguire ũrĩa wothe eekaga, andũ aingĩ magĩũka kũrĩ we moimĩte Judea, na Jerusalemu na Idumea o na mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, o na kuuma kũrĩa gwakuhĩrĩirie Turo na Sidoni.
Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.
9 Na tondũ wa gĩkundi kĩu, akĩĩra arutwo ake mamũhaarĩrĩrie gatarũ nĩguo gĩkundi kĩu gĩtige kũmũhatĩka.
Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.
10 Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonetie andũ aingĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa maarĩ na mĩrimũ nĩmatindĩkanaga nĩguo mamũhutie.
For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.
11 Na rĩrĩa rĩothe ngoma thũku ciamuonaga, ciegũithagia thĩ mbere yake, igakaya ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”
12 Nowe agĩcikaania na hinya mũno itikoige we nĩwe ũ.
But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.
13 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ na agĩĩta arĩa eyendeire, nao magĩũka harĩ we.
Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.
14 Akĩamũra ikũmi na eerĩ, akĩmatua atũmwo, nĩgeetha makoragwo nake, na nĩguo amatũmage makahunjie,
He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,
15 na magĩe na ũhoti wa kũingata ndaimono.
and to have authority to drive out demons.
16 Andũ acio ikũmi na eerĩ aathuurire nĩ Simoni (ũrĩa aatuire Petero);
These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),
17 na Jakubu wa Zebedi na mũrũ wa nyina Johana (nao acio akĩmatua Boanerigesi, ũguo nĩ kuuga Ariũ a Marurumĩ);
James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),
18 na Anderea, na Filipu na Baritholomayo, na Mathayo, na Toma, na Jakubu wa Alufayo na Thadayo, na Simoni ũrĩa Mũzelote
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
19 na Judasi Mũisikariota, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
20 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩtoonya nyũmba, na o rĩngĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩũngana o nginya we na arutwo ake makĩremwo nĩ kũrĩa irio.
Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.
21 Rĩrĩa andũ ao maiguire ũhoro ũcio, magĩthiĩ kũmũnyiita, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩagũrũkĩte.”
When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”
22 Nao arutani a watho arĩa maikũrũkĩte kuuma Jerusalemu makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aiyũrĩtwo nĩ Beelizebuli! Araingata ndaimono na hinya wa mũnene wa ndaimono.”
And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akĩmeeta, na akĩmarĩria na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Shaitani angĩhota atĩa kũingata Shaitani?
So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 Ũthamaki ũngĩamũkana guo mwene, ũthamaki ũcio ndũngĩtũũra.
If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
25 Nyũmba ĩngĩamũkana na andũ ayo mokanĩrĩre, nyũmba ĩyo ndĩngĩtũũra.
If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
26 Nake Shaitani angĩĩyũkĩrĩra we mwene na aamũkane-rĩ, ndangĩtũũra; nĩ gũthira egũthira.
And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.
27 Na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũtoonya nyũmba ya mũndũ njamba na amũtunye indo ciake, tiga ambire kuoha mũndũ ũcio njamba. Hĩndĩ ĩyo no rĩo angĩhota kũmũtunya indo cia nyũmba yake.
Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
28 Ndamwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, andũ nĩmakarekerwo mehia mao mothe o na irumi ciao ciothe iria magaakorwo marumĩte Ngai nacio.
Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.
30 Oigire ũguo tondũ moigaga atĩrĩ, “Arĩ na ngoma thũku.”
Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo, nyina wa Jesũ na ariũ a nyina na Jesũ magĩũka. Makĩrũgama nja, magĩtũma mũndũ atoonye akamwĩte.
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,
32 Nakĩo gĩkundi kĩa andũ nĩgĩaikarĩte thĩ hau kĩmũrigiicĩirie, nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marĩ nja magĩgũcaria.”
and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”
33 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ a?”
But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34 Agĩcooka akĩrora arĩa maikarĩte mamũrigiicĩirie, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ aya!
Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
35 Ũrĩa wothe wĩkaga maũndũ marĩa Ngai endaga, ũcio nĩwe mũrũ wa maitũ, na mwarĩ wa maitũ, o na maitũ.”
For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
