< Mariko 6 >

1 Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ itũũra rĩao, arĩ hamwe na arutwo ake.
Jesus left that place, and accompanied by his disciples, came into his own part of the country.
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 it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at 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 the brother of Jamesand Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"
4 Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kũndũ mũnabii ataheagwo gĩtĩĩo no itũũra-inĩ rĩake, na kwa andũ a nyũmba yao, na gwake mũciĩ.”
So they disapproved of him. Then Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native land and among his relatives and in his home."
5 Nake Jesũ ndaahotire kũringa ciama kũu, o tiga atĩ nĩaigĩrĩire andũ mataarĩ aingĩ moko arĩa maarĩ arũaru nao makĩhona.
And he was unable to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them.
6 Nake akĩgega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa maagĩte wĩtĩkio. Jesũ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ akĩrutanaga itũũra gwa itũũra.
And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.
7 Agĩcooka agĩĩta arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, akĩmatũma mathiĩ eerĩ eerĩ na akĩmahe ũhoti wa kũingata ngoma thũku.
Then summoning the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over 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 bade them take nothing but a staff for their journey; no bread, no wallet, no coins in their purse;
9 Ĩkĩrai iraatũ no mũtigakuue nguo cia kũgarũrĩra.
they were to wear sandals, but not to put on two tunics.
10 Rĩrĩa rĩothe mwatoonya nyũmba, ikarai kuo nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima itũũra rĩu.
"Wherever you enter a house," he told them, "remain there until you leave the place;
11 Na kũrĩa andũ matakamũnyiita ũgeni kana marege kũmũthikĩrĩria-rĩ, mũkiuma kuo mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu rũkũngũ rũitĩke, rũtuĩke ũira wa kũmatuĩra ciira.”
and if any place does not receive you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust under your feet, as a warning to them."
12 Nao makiumagara magĩthiĩ makĩhunjagia atĩ andũ merire.
So they fared forth and summoned men to repentance.
13 Ningĩ makĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ na magĩitĩrĩria andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ arũaru maguta nao makĩhona.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured 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 it, for the name of Jesus had become well known, People were saying, "Johnthe Baptist is risen from the dead, and on that account these powers are working in him."
15 Angĩ nao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ Elija.” Angĩ nao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mũnabii ta ũmwe wa arĩa a tene.”
"He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."
16 Nowe Herode rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Johana, mũndũ ũrĩa ndaatinithirie mũtwe-rĩ, nĩariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ!”
But when Herod heard, he said, "That Johnwhom I beheaded has come back to life."
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.
Now this Herod had sent and arrested John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.
18 Nake Johana nĩeraga Herode atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩ na rũtha kũhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa maitũguo.”
For Johnhad often told Herod, "It is not right for you to live with your brother’s wife."
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herodia agĩtuma Johana ũthũ na akĩenda kũmũũragithia. No ndangĩahotire gwĩka ũguo,
So Herodias hated him, and wished to put him to death;
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.
but she could not, for Herod was afraid of Johnbecause he knew that he was a just and holy man. So he kept him safe. When he listened to Johnhe was much exercised, yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
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 came a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday held a feast for his lords and generals and the leading 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.”
at which the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced. She charmed Herod and his guests. "Ask me whatever you want," said the king to the young girl, "and I will give it to you."
23 Akĩĩhĩta, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩhooya nĩngũkũhe, o na angĩkorwo nĩ nuthu ya ũthamaki wakwa.”
He even swore to her that whatever she asked, he would give it to her, up to half his kingdom.
24 Mũirĩtu ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩũria nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ngwĩtia?” Nyina akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtia mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania.”
So she came out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of Johnthe Baptist," she replied.
25 O rĩmwe mũirĩtu ũcio akĩhiũha, agĩtoonya he mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngwenda ũũhe o rĩu mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa kiuga.”
So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of Johnthe Baptist on a charger."
26 Mũthamaki akĩigua kĩeha mũno, no tondũ wa mwĩhĩtwa wake na nĩ ũndũ wa ageni ake, ndangĩaregire gwĩka ũguo orĩtio.
Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint 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
So he sent at once a soldier of the guard with orders to bring his head.
28 akĩũrehe na kiuga, akĩnengera mũirĩtu ũcio, nake akĩũnengera nyina.
And he went and beheaded Johnin prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.
29 Nao arutwo a Johana maigua ũhoro ũcio, magĩũka, makĩoya mwĩrĩ wake, magĩthiĩ, makĩũthika.
When John’s disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Atũmwo nĩmagomanire harĩ Jesũ, makĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe meekĩte, na marĩa maarutĩte andũ.
When the apostles had come back to Jesus, they told him all the things they had done, and all 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.”
Then he said to them, "Come apart, yourselves, to a quiet spot, and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they could not get time even to eat.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩingĩra gatarũ marĩ oiki, magĩthiĩ handũ hataarĩ andũ.
So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.
33 Nao andũ aingĩ arĩa maamonire magĩthiĩ, makĩmamenya, magĩtengʼera na magũrũ moimĩte matũũra-inĩ mothe, magĩkinya mbere yao.
However, many saw them going, and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the neighboring towns, and arrived there first.
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.
So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for 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.
Then when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him and said. "This place is desert, and the day is now far spent.
36 Ĩra andũ aya mathiĩ nĩguo makinye mĩgũnda-inĩ na matũũra-inĩ marĩa me hakuhĩ makegũrĩre kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.”
Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something 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?”
In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?"
38 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩ na mĩgate ĩigana? Thiĩi mũrore.” Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarorire makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Harĩ na mĩgate ĩtano, na thamaki igĩrĩ.”
"How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes."
39 Nake Jesũ agĩathana andũ othe maikare thĩ ikundi ikundi kũu nyeki-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ ho nduru.
Then he directed them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikara thĩ marĩ ikundi cia andũ igana na cia andũ mĩrongo ĩtano.
And they sat down like beds in a garden, 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.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.
42 Nao othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna,
The two fish also he divided to them all.
43 nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ cia mĩgate na cia thamaki iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.
44 Mũigana wa arũme arĩa othe maarĩire irio icio maarĩ ngiri ithano.
Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
45 Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake matoonye gatarũ mathiiage mbere yake makinye Bethisaida, mũira wa oigĩre kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro.
Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side, while he sent the people away.
46 Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ agĩthiĩ kũhooya.
After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
47 Na gũgĩkinya hwaĩ-inĩ, gatarũ kaarĩ gatagatĩ ka iria, nake Jesũ aarĩ thĩ nyũmũ arĩ wiki.
And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone;
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,
but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea,
49 no-o mamuona agereire maaĩ igũrũ magĩĩciiria nĩ ngoma moonaga. Magĩkaya
they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified.
50 tondũ othe nĩmamuonire na magĩĩtigĩra mũno. O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmĩrĩriai! Nĩ niĩ. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
But he at once spoke with them, saying. "Courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!"
51 Agĩcooka agĩtoonya gatarũ kau maarĩ, naruo rũhuho rũgĩtuĩka. Nao makĩgega mũno,
Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded,
52 tondũ matiataũkĩirwo nĩ ũhoro wa mĩgate ĩyo; ngoro ciao ciarĩ o nyũmũ.
for they had not understood about the loaves; on the contrary their heart was hardened.
53 Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya Genesareti, makĩoha gatarũ kao hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54 Maarĩkia kuuma gatarũ-inĩ, o rĩmwe andũ makĩmenya Jesũ.
As soon as they got out of the boat, the people at once recognized him,
55 Magĩtuĩkania bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe magakuuaga andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru na ibarĩ, makĩmatwaraga kũrĩa guothe maiguaga atĩ nĩkuo arĩ.
and began running over that whole country, and carrying the sick about on their beds, wherever 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.
And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched him were made well.
