< Mariko 6 >

1 Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ itũũra rĩao, arĩ hamwe na arutwo ake.
He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
2 Mũthenya wa Thabatũ wakinya, Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria kũruta andũ ũhoro arĩ thĩinĩ wa thunagogi, na andũ aingĩ arĩa maamũiguire makĩgega. Nao makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aarutire maũndũ maya kũ? Nĩ ũũgĩ wa mũthemba ũrĩkũ ũyũ aheetwo, atĩ o na nĩaringaga ciama!
When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
3 Githĩ ũyũ ti ũrĩa bundi wa mbaũ? Githĩ ũyũ ti mũrũ wa Mariamu, o we mũrũ wa nyina na Jakubu na Jusufu na Judasi na Simoni. Na aarĩ a nyina githĩ matirĩ gũkũ hamwe na ithuĩ?” Nao makĩmũrakarĩra.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at him.
4 Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kũndũ mũnabii ataheagwo gĩtĩĩo no itũũra-inĩ rĩake, na kwa andũ a nyũmba yao, na gwake mũciĩ.”
Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
5 Nake Jesũ ndaahotire kũringa ciama kũu, o tiga atĩ nĩaigĩrĩire andũ mataarĩ aingĩ moko arĩa maarĩ arũaru nao makĩhona.
He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 Nake akĩgega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa maagĩte wĩtĩkio. Jesũ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ akĩrutanaga itũũra gwa itũũra.
He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.
7 Agĩcooka agĩĩta arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, akĩmatũma mathiĩ eerĩ eerĩ na akĩmahe ũhoti wa kũingata ngoma thũku.
He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8 Na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtigekuuĩre kĩndũ o nakĩ rũgendo-inĩ tiga o mũtirima; na mũtigakuue mũgate, kana mondo, kana mbeeca ibeeti-inĩ cianyu.
He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
9 Ĩkĩrai iraatũ no mũtigakuue nguo cia kũgarũrĩra.
but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
10 Rĩrĩa rĩothe mwatoonya nyũmba, ikarai kuo nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima itũũra rĩu.
He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11 Na kũrĩa andũ matakamũnyiita ũgeni kana marege kũmũthikĩrĩria-rĩ, mũkiuma kuo mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu rũkũngũ rũitĩke, rũtuĩke ũira wa kũmatuĩra ciira.”
Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
12 Nao makiumagara magĩthiĩ makĩhunjagia atĩ andũ merire.
They went out and preached that people should repent.
13 Ningĩ makĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ na magĩitĩrĩria andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ arũaru maguta nao makĩhona.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.
14 Mũthamaki Herode nĩaiguire ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ nĩrĩagĩte igweta mũno. Andũ amwe moigaga atĩrĩ, “Johana Mũbatithania nĩariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, na nĩkĩo arĩ na hinya mũnene ũguo wa kũringa ciama.”
King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
15 Angĩ nao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ Elija.” Angĩ nao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mũnabii ta ũmwe wa arĩa a tene.”
But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
16 Nowe Herode rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Johana, mũndũ ũrĩa ndaatinithirie mũtwe-rĩ, nĩariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ!”
But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
17 Nĩgũkorwo, Herode we mwene nĩanyiitithĩtie Johana na akamũikithia njeera. Eekĩte ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa Herodia, ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina Filipu, nĩgũkorwo Herode nĩamũhikĩtie.
For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
18 Nake Johana nĩeraga Herode atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩ na rũtha kũhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa maitũguo.”
For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herodia agĩtuma Johana ũthũ na akĩenda kũmũũragithia. No ndangĩahotire gwĩka ũguo,
Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she could not,
20 nĩgũkorwo Herode nĩetigĩrĩte Johana na akamũgitagĩra, tondũ nĩoĩ atĩ aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu na mũtheru. Herode nĩathikagĩrĩria Johana, no nĩatangĩkaga mũno amũigua; no nĩendaga mũno kũmũthikĩrĩria.
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.
21 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe Herodia nĩagĩire na mweke. Herode nĩarugithirie iruga inene rĩa kũririkana mũthenya wa gũciarwo gwake, nake agĩĩta anene arĩa maamũteithagia na atongoria ake a mbũtũ cia ita, na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta kũu Galili.
Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
22 Na rĩrĩa mwarĩ wa Herodia aatoonyire kũu maarĩ na akĩina-rĩ, agĩkenia Herode na ageni ake arĩa meetĩtwo iruga rĩu. Mũthamaki akĩĩra mũirĩtu ũcio atĩrĩ, “Hooya o kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩenda na nĩngũkũhe.”
When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23 Akĩĩhĩta, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩhooya nĩngũkũhe, o na angĩkorwo nĩ nuthu ya ũthamaki wakwa.”
He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
24 Mũirĩtu ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩũria nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ngwĩtia?” Nyina akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtia mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania.”
She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”
25 O rĩmwe mũirĩtu ũcio akĩhiũha, agĩtoonya he mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngwenda ũũhe o rĩu mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa kiuga.”
She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”
26 Mũthamaki akĩigua kĩeha mũno, no tondũ wa mwĩhĩtwa wake na nĩ ũndũ wa ageni ake, ndangĩaregire gwĩka ũguo orĩtio.
The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he did not wish to refuse her.
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma mũthigari ũmwe wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra, o hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmwatha athiĩ arehe mũtwe wa Johana. Mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ njeera agĩtinia Johana mũtwe
Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 akĩũrehe na kiuga, akĩnengera mũirĩtu ũcio, nake akĩũnengera nyina.
and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
29 Nao arutwo a Johana maigua ũhoro ũcio, magĩũka, makĩoya mwĩrĩ wake, magĩthiĩ, makĩũthika.
When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
30 Atũmwo nĩmagomanire harĩ Jesũ, makĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe meekĩte, na marĩa maarutĩte andũ.
The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31 Na tondũ wa ũrĩa andũ aingĩ mookaga magĩthiiaga-rĩ, matingĩahotire kuona o na hĩndĩ ya kũrĩa irio, nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai inyuĩ oiki, tũthiĩ handũ hatarĩ inegene, tũkahurũke.”
He said to them, “Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩingĩra gatarũ marĩ oiki, magĩthiĩ handũ hataarĩ andũ.
They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
33 Nao andũ aingĩ arĩa maamonire magĩthiĩ, makĩmamenya, magĩtengʼera na magũrũ moimĩte matũũra-inĩ mothe, magĩkinya mbere yao.
They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.
34 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire gatarũ, akĩona andũ aingĩ, akĩmaiguĩra tha, tondũ maatariĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩambĩrĩria kũmaruta maũndũ maingĩ.
Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 Na gwatua gũtuka, arutwo ake magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũkũ nĩ werũ-inĩ na rĩu gũkiriĩ gũtuka.
When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.
36 Ĩra andũ aya mathiĩ nĩguo makinye mĩgũnda-inĩ na matũũra-inĩ marĩa me hakuhĩ makegũrĩre kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.”
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
37 Nowe akĩmacookeria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Maheei kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa arĩ inyuĩ.” Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda tũthiĩ tũkagũre mĩgate ya dinari magana meerĩ tũmahe marĩe?”
But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩ na mĩgate ĩigana? Thiĩi mũrore.” Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarorire makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Harĩ na mĩgate ĩtano, na thamaki igĩrĩ.”
He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Nake Jesũ agĩathana andũ othe maikare thĩ ikundi ikundi kũu nyeki-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ ho nduru.
He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikara thĩ marĩ ikundi cia andũ igana na cia andũ mĩrongo ĩtano.
They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 Nake akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo ĩtano na thamaki icio igĩrĩ, akĩrora na igũrũ, agĩcookia ngaatho na akĩenyũranga mĩgate ĩyo. Agĩcooka akĩmĩnengera arutwo ake mahe andũ. Ningĩ akĩoya thamaki icio igĩrĩ akĩmagayania othe.
He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42 Nao othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna,
They all ate and were filled.
43 nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ cia mĩgate na cia thamaki iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
44 Mũigana wa arũme arĩa othe maarĩire irio icio maarĩ ngiri ithano.
Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake matoonye gatarũ mathiiage mbere yake makinye Bethisaida, mũira wa oigĩre kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro.
Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.
46 Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ agĩthiĩ kũhooya.
After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
47 Na gũgĩkinya hwaĩ-inĩ, gatarũ kaarĩ gatagatĩ ka iria, nake Jesũ aarĩ thĩ nyũmũ arĩ wiki.
When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 Nake akĩona arutwo makĩĩgũmĩra gũtwara gatarũ, tondũ rũhuho rwerekeire na kũrĩa moimaga. Na rĩrĩ, ta thaa kenda cia ũtukũ, Jesũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o agereire maaĩ igũrũ. Nake aarĩ o hakuhĩ kũmahĩtũka,
Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them,
49 no-o mamuona agereire maaĩ igũrũ magĩĩciiria nĩ ngoma moonaga. Magĩkaya
but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 tondũ othe nĩmamuonire na magĩĩtigĩra mũno. O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmĩrĩriai! Nĩ niĩ. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Do not be afraid.”
51 Agĩcooka agĩtoonya gatarũ kau maarĩ, naruo rũhuho rũgĩtuĩka. Nao makĩgega mũno,
He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
52 tondũ matiataũkĩirwo nĩ ũhoro wa mĩgate ĩyo; ngoro ciao ciarĩ o nyũmũ.
for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya Genesareti, makĩoha gatarũ kao hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54 Maarĩkia kuuma gatarũ-inĩ, o rĩmwe andũ makĩmenya Jesũ.
When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 Magĩtuĩkania bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe magakuuaga andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru na ibarĩ, makĩmatwaraga kũrĩa guothe maiguaga atĩ nĩkuo arĩ.
and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was.
56 Na kũrĩa guothe aathiiaga, mĩciĩ-inĩ, na tũtũũra-inĩ o na kana mĩgũnda-inĩ, o maigaga arĩa arũaru ndũnyũ-inĩ, na makamũthaitha ametĩkĩrie naarĩ mahutie gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na arĩa othe maamũhutirie makĩhona.
Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
