Mariko 3
1 Ningĩ nĩatoonyire thunagogi rĩngĩ, na thĩinĩ nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ wonjete guoko.
On another occasion Jesus went in to a synagogue, where there was a man whose hand was withered.
2 Andũ amwe ao nĩmacaragia ũndũ mangĩthitangĩra Jesũ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũrora mũno mone kana nĩekũhonia mũndũ ũcio mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
And they watched Jesus closely, to see if he would cure the man on the Sabbath, so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
3 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio warĩ mwonju guoko atĩrĩ, “Rũgama haha mbere ya andũ othe.”
‘Stand out in the middle,’ Jesus said to the man with the withered hand;
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 to the people he said, ‘Is it allowable to do good at the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or destroy it?’
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.
As they remained silent, Jesus looked round at them in anger, grieving at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ The man stretched it out; and his hand had become sound.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai makiumagara na makĩambĩrĩria gũthugunda me hamwe na Aherodia ũrĩa mangĩũraga Jesũ.
Immediately on leaving the synagogue, the Pharisees and the Herodians united in laying a plot against Jesus, to put him to death.
7 Nake Jesũ na arutwo ake makiuma kũu magĩthiĩ iria-inĩ, nakĩo gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ kuuma Galili gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, followed by a great number of people from Galilee.
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.
A great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Edom, from beyond the Jordan, and from the country round Tyre and Sidon.
9 Na tondũ wa gĩkundi kĩu, akĩĩra arutwo ake mamũhaarĩrĩrie gatarũ nĩguo gĩkundi kĩu gĩtige kũmũhatĩka.
So Jesus told his disciples to keep a small boat close by, 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 cured many of them, and so people kept crowding around him, so all who were sick might touch him.
11 Na rĩrĩa rĩothe ngoma thũku ciamuonaga, ciegũithagia thĩ mbere yake, igakaya ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
The foul spirits, too, whenever they caught sight of him, flung themselves down before him, and screamed out, ‘You are the Son of God’!
12 Nowe agĩcikaania na hinya mũno itikoige we nĩwe ũ.
But he repeatedly warned them not to make him known.
13 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ na agĩĩta arĩa eyendeire, nao magĩũka harĩ we.
Jesus made his way up the hill, and called those whom he wished; and they went to him.
14 Akĩamũra ikũmi na eerĩ, akĩmatua atũmwo, nĩgeetha makoragwo nake, na nĩguo amatũmage makahunjie,
He appointed twelve – whom he also named “apostles” – so that they might be with him, and that he might send them out as his messengers, to preach,
15 na magĩe na ũhoti wa kũingata ndaimono.
and with power to drive out demons.
16 Andũ acio ikũmi na eerĩ aathuurire nĩ Simoni (ũrĩa aatuire Petero);
So he appointed the Twelve – Peter (which was the name that Jesus gave to Simon),
17 na Jakubu wa Zebedi na mũrũ wa nyina Johana (nao acio akĩmatua Boanerigesi, ũguo nĩ kuuga Ariũ a Marurumĩ);
James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John (to whom he gave the name of Boanerges, which means the Thunderers),
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 the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
19 na Judasi Mũisikariota, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
and Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed him.
20 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩtoonya nyũmba, na o rĩngĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩũngana o nginya we na arutwo ake makĩremwo nĩ kũrĩa irio.
Jesus went into a house; and again a crowd collected, so that they were not even able to eat their food.
21 Rĩrĩa andũ ao maiguire ũhoro ũcio, magĩthiĩ kũmũnyiita, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩagũrũkĩte.”
When his relatives heard of it, they went to take charge of him, for they said that he was 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.”
The teachers of the Law, who had come down from Jerusalem, said, ‘He has Beelzebul in him! He drives the demons out by the help of their chief.’
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akĩmeeta, na akĩmarĩria na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Shaitani angĩhota atĩa kũingata Shaitani?
So Jesus called them to him, and answered them in parables, ‘How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 Ũthamaki ũngĩamũkana guo mwene, ũthamaki ũcio ndũngĩtũũra.
When a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot last;
25 Nyũmba ĩngĩamũkana na andũ ayo mokanĩrĩre, nyũmba ĩyo ndĩngĩtũũra.
and when a household is divided against itself, it will not be able to last.
26 Nake Shaitani angĩĩyũkĩrĩra we mwene na aamũkane-rĩ, ndangĩtũũra; nĩ gũthira egũthira.
So, if Satan is in revolt against himself and is divided, he cannot last – 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.
‘No man who has broken into a strong man’s house can carry off his goods, without first tying him up; and not until then will he plunder his house.
28 Ndamwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, andũ nĩmakarekerwo mehia mao mothe o na irumi ciao ciothe iria magaakorwo marumĩte Ngai nacio.
I tell you that people will be forgiven everything – their sins, and all the slanders that they utter;
30 Oigire ũguo tondũ moigaga atĩrĩ, “Arĩ na ngoma thũku.”
This was said in reply to the charge that he had a foul spirit in him.
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo, nyina wa Jesũ na ariũ a nyina na Jesũ magĩũka. Makĩrũgama nja, magĩtũma mũndũ atoonye akamwĩte.
His mother and his brothers came, and stood outside, and sent to ask him to come to them.
32 Nakĩo gĩkundi kĩa andũ nĩgĩaikarĩte thĩ hau kĩmũrigiicĩirie, nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marĩ nja magĩgũcaria.”
There was a crowd sitting round Jesus, and some of them said to him, ‘Look, your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.’
33 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ a?”
‘Who is my mother? And my brothers?’ was his reply.
34 Agĩcooka akĩrora arĩa maikarĩte mamũrigiicĩirie, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ aya!
Then he looked around on the people sitting in a circle round him, and 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.”
Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.’
