Mariko 6
1 Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ itũũra rĩao, arĩ hamwe na arutwo ake.
Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied by His disciples.
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!
On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?
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, Mary's son, the brother of James and Joses, Jude and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?" So they turned angrily away.
4 Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kũndũ mũnabii ataheagwo gĩtĩĩo no itũũra-inĩ rĩake, na kwa andũ a nyũmba yao, na gwake mũciĩ.”
But Jesus said to them, "There is no Prophet without honour except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own home."
5 Nake Jesũ ndaahotire kũringa ciama kũu, o tiga atĩ nĩaigĩrĩire andũ mataarĩ aingĩ moko arĩa maarĩ arũaru nao makĩhona.
And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and
6 Nake akĩgega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa maagĩte wĩtĩkio. Jesũ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ akĩrutanaga itũũra gwa itũũra.
He wondered at their unbelief. So He went round the adjacent 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 proceeded to send them out by twos, and gave them authority over the foul 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 charged them to take nothing for the journey except a stick; no bread, no bag, and not a penny in their pockets,
9 Ĩkĩrai iraatũ no mũtigakuue nguo cia kũgarũrĩra.
but to go wearing sandals. "And do not," He said, "put on an extra under garment.
10 Rĩrĩa rĩothe mwatoonya nyũmba, ikarai kuo nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima itũũra rĩu.
Wherever you enter a house, make it your home till you leave that place.
11 Na kũrĩa andũ matakamũnyiita ũgeni kana marege kũmũthikĩrĩria-rĩ, mũkiuma kuo mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu rũkũngũ rũitĩke, rũtuĩke ũira wa kũmatuĩra ciira.”
But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them."
12 Nao makiumagara magĩthiĩ makĩhunjagia atĩ andũ merire.
So they set out, and preached in order that men might repent.
13 Ningĩ makĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ na magĩitĩrĩria andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ arũaru maguta nao makĩhona.
Many demons they expelled, and many invalids they anointed with oil and cured.
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 of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, "John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous 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.”
Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, "He is a Prophet, like one of the great 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 of Him, he said, "The John, whom 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.
For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.
18 Nake Johana nĩeraga Herode atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩ na rũtha kũhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa maitũguo.”
For John had repeatedly told Herod, "You have no right to be living with your brother's wife."
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herodia agĩtuma Johana ũthũ na akĩenda kũmũũragithia. No ndangĩahotire gwĩka ũguo,
Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life, but 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 stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening.
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.
At length Herodias found her opportunity. Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to the nobles of his court and to the tribunes and the principal people in 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 Herodias's own daughter came in and danced, and so charmed Herod and his guests that he said to her, "Ask me for anything you please, 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, "Whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom."
24 Mũirĩtu ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩũria nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ngwĩtia?” Nyina akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtia mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania.”
She at once went out and said to her mother: "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptizer," 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.”
The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. "My desire is," she said, "that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist."
26 Mũthamaki akĩigua kĩeha mũno, no tondũ wa mwĩhĩtwa wake na nĩ ũndũ wa ageni ake, ndangĩaregire gwĩka ũguo orĩtio.
Then the King, though intensely sorry, yet for the sake of his oaths, and of his guests, would not break faith with 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
He at once sent a soldier of his guard with orders to bring John's head. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 akĩũrehe na kiuga, akĩnengera mũirĩtu ũcio, nake akĩũnengera nyina.
and brought his head on a dish and gave it to the young girl, who 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 it, they came and took away 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 re-assembled round Jesus, they reported to Him all 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 away, all of you, to a quiet place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, so that they had no time even for meals.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩingĩra gatarũ marĩ oiki, magĩthiĩ handũ hataarĩ andũ.
Accordingly they sailed away in the boat to a solitary place apart.
33 Nao andũ aingĩ arĩa maamonire magĩthiĩ, makĩmamenya, magĩtengʼera na magũrũ moimĩte matũũra-inĩ mothe, magĩkinya mbere yao.
But the people saw them going, and many knew them; and coming by land they ran together there from all the neighbouring towns, and arrived before them.
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 His heart was moved with pity for them, because they were like sheep which have no shepherd, and He proceeded to teach them many things.
35 Na gwatua gũtuka, arutwo ake magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũkũ nĩ werũ-inĩ na rĩu gũkiriĩ gũtuka.
By this time it was late; so His disciples came to Him, and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late:
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 to the farms and villages near 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?”
"Give them food yourselves," He replied. "Are we," they asked, "to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread 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 inquired; "go and see." So they found out, and said, "Five; and a couple of fish."
39 Nake Jesũ agĩathana andũ othe maikare thĩ ikundi ikundi kũu nyeki-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ ho nduru.
So He directed them to make all sit down in 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 in rows of hundreds and of 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 fish, and lifting His eyes to Heaven He blessed the food. Then He broke the loaves into portions which He went on handing to the disciples to distribute; giving pieces also of the two fish to them all.
42 Nao othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna,
All ate and were fully satisfied.
43 nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ cia mĩgate na cia thamaki iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
And they carried away broken portions enough to fill twelve baskets, besides pieces of the fish.
44 Mũigana wa arũme arĩa othe maarĩire irio icio maarĩ ngiri ithano.
Those who ate the bread were 5,000 adult men.
45 Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake matoonye gatarũ mathiiage mbere yake makinye Bethisaida, mũira wa oigĩre kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro.
Immediately afterwards He made His disciples go on board the boat and cross over to Bethsaida, leaving Him behind to dismiss the crowd.
46 Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ agĩthiĩ kũhooya.
He then bade the people farewell, and went away up the hill to pray.
47 Na gũgĩkinya hwaĩ-inĩ, gatarũ kaarĩ gatagatĩ ka iria, nake Jesũ aarĩ thĩ nyũmũ arĩ wiki.
When evening was come, the boat was half way across the Lake, while he Himself 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 with rowing (for the wind was against them), towards morning He came towards them walking on the Lake, as if intending to pass them.
49 no-o mamuona agereire maaĩ igũrũ magĩĩciiria nĩ ngoma moonaga. Magĩkaya
They saw Him walking on the water, and thinking that it was a spirit they 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 terrified. He, however, immediately spoke to them. "There is no danger," He said; "it is I; be not alarmed."
51 Agĩcooka agĩtoonya gatarũ kau maarĩ, naruo rũhuho rũgĩtuĩka. Nao makĩgega mũno,
Then He went up to them on board the boat, and the wind lulled; and they were beside themselves with silent amazement.
52 tondũ matiataũkĩirwo nĩ ũhoro wa mĩgate ĩyo; ngoro ciao ciarĩ o nyũmũ.
For they had not learned the lesson taught by the loaves, but their minds were dull.
53 Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya Genesareti, makĩoha gatarũ kao hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
Having crossed over they drew to land in Gennesaret and came to anchor.
54 Maarĩkia kuuma gatarũ-inĩ, o rĩmwe andũ makĩmenya Jesũ.
But no sooner had they gone ashore than the people immediately recognized Him.
55 Magĩtuĩkania bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe magakuuaga andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru na ibarĩ, makĩmatwaraga kũrĩa guothe maiguaga atĩ nĩkuo arĩ.
Then they scoured the whole district, and began to bring Him the sick on their mats 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 enter wherever He might--village or town or hamlet--they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.
