Mariko 3
1 Ningĩ nĩatoonyire thunagogi rĩngĩ, na thĩinĩ nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ wonjete guoko.
At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up.
2 Andũ amwe ao nĩmacaragia ũndũ mangĩthitangĩra Jesũ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũrora mũno mone kana nĩekũhonia mũndũ ũcio mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him.
3 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio warĩ mwonju guoko atĩrĩ, “Rũgama haha mbere ya andũ othe.”
"Come forward," said He to the man with the shrivelled arm.
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.
Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained 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.
Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai makiumagara na makĩambĩrĩria gũthugunda me hamwe na Aherodia ũrĩa mangĩũraga Jesũ.
But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.
7 Nake Jesũ na arutwo ake makiuma kũu magĩthiĩ iria-inĩ, nakĩo gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ kuuma Galili gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
Accordingly Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Lake, and a vast crowd of people from Galilee followed Him;
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.
and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing.
9 Na tondũ wa gĩkundi kĩu, akĩĩra arutwo ake mamũhaarĩrĩrie gatarũ nĩguo gĩkundi kĩu gĩtige kũmũhatĩka.
So He gave directions to His disciples to keep a small boat in constant attendance on Him because of the throng--to prevent their crushing Him.
10 Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonetie andũ aingĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa maarĩ na mĩrimũ nĩmatindĩkanaga nĩguo mamũhutie.
For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.
11 Na rĩrĩa rĩothe ngoma thũku ciamuonaga, ciegũithagia thĩ mbere yake, igakaya ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
And the foul spirits, whenever they saw Him, threw themselves down at His feet, screaming out: "You are the Son of God."
12 Nowe agĩcikaania na hinya mũno itikoige we nĩwe ũ.
But He many a time checked them, forbidding them to say who He was.
13 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ na agĩĩta arĩa eyendeire, nao magĩũka harĩ we.
Then He went up the hill; and those whom He Himself chose He called, and they came to Him.
14 Akĩamũra ikũmi na eerĩ, akĩmatua atũmwo, nĩgeetha makoragwo nake, na nĩguo amatũmage makahunjie,
He appointed twelve of them, that they might be with Him, and that He might also send them to proclaim His Message,
15 na magĩe na ũhoti wa kũingata ndaimono.
with authority to expel the demons.
16 Andũ acio ikũmi na eerĩ aathuurire nĩ Simoni (ũrĩa aatuire Petero);
These twelve were Simon (to whom He gave the surname of Peter),
17 na Jakubu wa Zebedi na mũrũ wa nyina Johana (nao acio akĩmatua Boanerigesi, ũguo nĩ kuuga Ariũ a Marurumĩ);
James the son of Zabdi and John the brother of James (these two He surnamed Boanerges, that is '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 the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean,
19 na Judasi Mũisikariota, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
and Judas Iscariot, the man who also betrayed Him.
20 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩtoonya nyũmba, na o rĩngĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩũngana o nginya we na arutwo ake makĩremwo nĩ kũrĩa irio.
And He went into a house. But again the crowd assembled, so that there was no opportunity for them even to snatch a meal.
21 Rĩrĩa andũ ao maiguire ũhoro ũcio, magĩthiĩ kũmũnyiita, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩagũrũkĩte.”
Hearing of this, His relatives came to seize Him by force, for they said, "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.”
The Scribes, too, who had come down from Jerusalem said, "He has Baal-zebul in him; and it is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he expels the demons."
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akĩmeeta, na akĩmarĩria na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Shaitani angĩhota atĩa kũingata Shaitani?
So He called them to Him, and using figurative language He appealed to them, saying, "How is it possible for Satan to expel Satan?
24 Ũthamaki ũngĩamũkana guo mwene, ũthamaki ũcio ndũngĩtũũra.
For if civil war breaks out in a kingdom, nothing can make that kingdom last;
25 Nyũmba ĩngĩamũkana na andũ ayo mokanĩrĩre, nyũmba ĩyo ndĩngĩtũũra.
and if a family splits into parties, that family cannot continue.
26 Nake Shaitani angĩĩyũkĩrĩra we mwene na aamũkane-rĩ, ndangĩtũũra; nĩ gũthira egũthira.
So if Satan has risen in arms and has made war upon himself, stand he cannot, but meets his end.
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.
Nay, no one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 Ndamwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, andũ nĩmakarekerwo mehia mao mothe o na irumi ciao ciothe iria magaakorwo marumĩte Ngai nacio.
In solemn truth I tell you that all their sins may be pardoned to the sons of men, and all their blasphemies, however they may have blasphemed;
30 Oigire ũguo tondũ moigaga atĩrĩ, “Arĩ na ngoma thũku.”
This was because they said, "He is possessed by a foul spirit."
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo, nyina wa Jesũ na ariũ a nyina na Jesũ magĩũka. Makĩrũgama nja, magĩtũma mũndũ atoonye akamwĩte.
By this time His mother and His brothers arrive, and standing outside they send a message to Him to call Him.
32 Nakĩo gĩkundi kĩa andũ nĩgĩaikarĩte thĩ hau kĩmũrigiicĩirie, nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marĩ nja magĩgũcaria.”
Now a crowd was sitting round Him; so they tell Him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, inquiring for you."
33 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ a?”
"Who are my mother and my brothers?" He replied.
34 Agĩcooka akĩrora arĩa maikarĩte mamũrigiicĩirie, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Maitũ na ariũ a maitũ nĩ aya!
And, fixing His eyes on the people who were sitting round Him in a circle, He said,
35 Ũrĩa wothe wĩkaga maũndũ marĩa Ngai endaga, ũcio nĩwe mũrũ wa maitũ, na mwarĩ wa maitũ, o na maitũ.”
"Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who has been obedient to God, there is my brother--my sister--and my mother."
