Mariko 8
1 Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ gĩkĩũngana rĩngĩ. Na tondũ gĩtiarĩ na kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa-rĩ, Jesũ agĩĩta arutwo ake moke harĩ we, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
In those days, there being, again a large multitude, and they not having any thing to eat, calling near the disciples, he saith unto them—
2 “Nĩndĩraiguĩra andũ aya tha Nĩgũkorwo makoretwo hamwe na niĩ rĩu mĩthenya ĩtatũ na matirĩ na kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.
I am moved with compassion towards the multitude, because, already three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat;
3 Ingĩmeera mainũke mahũũtiĩ mekũringĩkĩra njĩra, tondũ amwe ao moimĩte kũraya.”
and, if dismiss them fasting unto their home, they will be exhausted in the way, —and, certain of them, are, from afar.
4 Nao arutwo makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ angĩruta irio cia kũmahũũnia kũ gũkũ werũ-inĩ ũyũ?”
And his disciples answered him—Whence shall any one be able, here, to fill, these, with bread, in a desert?
5 Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩ na mĩgate ĩigana?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ na mĩgate mũgwanja.”
And he was questioning them—How many loaves have ye? and they said—Seven.
6 Akĩĩra kĩrĩndĩ gĩikare thĩ. Nake akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo mũgwanja, na aarĩkia gũcookia ngaatho akĩenyũranga mĩgate ĩyo, akĩmĩnengera arutwo ake mahe andũ, nao magĩĩka o ũguo.
And he sendeth word to the multitude, to fall back upon the ground. And, taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he brake, and was giving unto his disciples, that they might be setting before them; and they set before the multitude.
7 O na nĩ maarĩ na tũthamaki tũnini tũtarĩ tũingĩ; agĩcookia ngaatho nĩ ũndũ watuo, na akĩĩra arutwo magaĩre andũ.
And they had a few small fishes; and, blessing them, he bade them set, these also, before them.
8 Nao makĩrĩa makĩhũũna. Thuutha ũcio arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte, ikĩiyũra ciondo mũgwanja.
And they did eat, and were filled, and took up remainders of broken pieces, seven hampers.
9 Andũ arũme arĩa maarĩire maarĩ ta ngiri inya. Na aarĩkia kũmeera mathiĩ,
Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.
10 agĩtoonya gatarũ me na arutwo ake, magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Dalumanutha.
And, straightway, entering into the boat with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha;
11 Nao Afarisai magĩũka na makĩambĩrĩria kũũria Jesũ ciũria. Makĩmwĩra aringe kĩama kuuma igũrũ no nĩkũmũgeria maamũgeragia.
and forth came the Pharisees, and began discussing with him, seeking of him, a sign from the heaven, testing him.
12 Nake akĩhũmũka ihũmũka inene, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ gĩgũtũma rũciaro rũrũ rũũrie rũringĩrwo kĩama? Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma gũtirĩ kĩama rũkũringĩrwo.”
And, deeply sighing in his spirit, he saith—Why, doth this generation seek, a sign? Verily, I say—there shall, not be given, to this generation, a sign.
13 Agĩcooka akĩmatiga, agĩtoonya gatarũ akĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ.
And leaving them, again, embarking, he departed unto the other side.
14 Na rĩrĩ, arutwo nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ gũkuua mĩgate, tiga o mũgate ũmwe marĩ naguo gatarũ-inĩ.
And they forgot to take loaves, and, save one loaf, they had nothing with them in the boat.
15 Nake Jesũ akĩmataara akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei. Mwĩhũgagei ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai na ya Herode.”
And he began charging them, saying—Mind! beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod!
16 Nao makĩaranĩria ũhoro ũcio mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Aratwĩra ũguo tondũ tũtirĩ na mĩgate.”
And they began deliberating one with another, because they had no loaves.
17 Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meeranaga akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwaranĩrie ũhoro wa kwaga mĩgate? Nginya rĩu mũtirĩ mũrataũkĩrwo o na kana mũkamenya? Nĩ kũũmia mũũmĩtie ngoro cianyu?
And, taking note, he saith unto them—Why do ye deliberate, because ye have no, loaves? Not yet perceive ye, neither understand, —keep ye your hearts, hardened?
18 Anga mũrĩ na maitho na mũtionaga, na mũrĩ na matũ na mũtiiguaga? Kaĩ mũtararirikana?
Eyes having, see ye not? and ears having, hear ye not? and remember ye not
19 Rĩrĩa ndenyũrangĩire andũ arĩa ngiri ithano mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩtano-rĩ, nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie ciiyũrĩte cienyũ cia mĩgate?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ciarĩ ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.”
when, the five loaves, I brake unto the five thousand, how many baskets, full of broken pieces, ye took up? They say unto him—Twelve, —
20 “Na rĩrĩa ndenyũrangĩire andũ arĩa ngiri inya mĩgate ĩrĩa mũgwanja-rĩ, nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie ciiyũrĩte cienyũ cia mĩgate?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ciarĩ ciondo mũgwanja.”
When the seven, unto the four thousand, how many hampers, full measure, of broken pieces, ye took up? And they say unto him—Seven. And he was saying unto them—
21 Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtarĩ mũrataũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro nginya rĩu?”
Not yet, do ye understand?
22 Na maakinya Bethisaida, andũ amwe makĩmũrehera mũndũ warĩ mũtumumu, na magĩthaitha Jesũ amũhutie.
And they come into Bethsaida. And they bring unto him one blind, and beseech him that him, he would touch.
23 Akĩnyiita mũndũ ũcio mũtumumu guoko, akĩmuumia na nja ya itũũra. Na aarĩkia kũmũtuĩra mata maitho na kũmũigĩrĩra moko, Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ kĩndũ ũroona?”
And, laying hold of the hand of the blind man, he brought him forth outside the village, and, spitting into his eyes, laying his hands upon him, he was asking him—Anything, seest thou?
24 Nake agĩtiira maitho, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩrona andũ; no ngoona mahaana ta mĩtĩ magĩthiĩ.”
and, looking up, he was saying—I see men, because, like trees, I behold them walking
25 O rĩngĩ Jesũ akĩigĩrĩra mũndũ ũcio moko maitho. Hĩndĩ ĩyo maitho make makĩhingũka, agĩcooka kuona na akĩona indo ciothe wega.
Then again, put he his hands upon his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and was seeing distinctly, in broad splendour, all things together.
26 Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inũka, na ndũgatoonye itũũra-inĩ.”
And he sent him away unto his house, saying—Not even into the village, mayest thou enter.
27 Jesũ na arutwo ake magĩthiĩ na mbere o nginya tũtũũra-inĩ tũrĩa twarigiicĩirie Kaisarea-Filipi. Na me njĩra-inĩ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?”
And forth went Jesus and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea of Philip. And, in the way, he was questioning his disciples, saying unto them—Who, are men saying that I am?
28 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amwe moigaga wee nĩwe Johana Mũbatithania; angĩ makoiga wee nĩwe Elija; o na angĩ moigaga wee ũrĩ ũmwe wa anabii.”
And they answered him, saying—John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah, —and, others, One of the prophets.
29 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ na inyuĩ muugaga atĩa? Muugaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?” Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Kristũ.”
And, he, went on to question them—But, who, say, ye, that I am? Peter, answering, saith unto him—Thou, art, the Christ.
30 Nake Jesũ akĩmakaania matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũhoro wake.
And he straitly charged them, that, no one, they should tell concerning him.
31 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria kũmaruta atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ no nginya one mathĩĩna maingĩ na aregwo nĩ athuuri, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene o na arutani a watho, na atĩ no nginya ooragwo, na thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ ariũke.
And he began to be teaching them—The Son of Man, must needs suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders and the High-priests and the Scribes, —and be slain; and, after three days, arise.
32 Aaririe ũhoro ũcio atekũhitha, nake Petero akĩmũtwara keheri-inĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũmũkaania.
And, openly, was he speaking the word. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
33 No Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra akĩrora arutwo ake, na agĩkũũma Petero, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Cooka thuutha wakwa, Shaitani! Wee ndwĩciiragia maũndũ moimĩte kũrĩ Ngai, tiga o maũndũ marĩa moimĩte kũrĩ andũ.”
But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith—Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men.
34 Agĩcooka agĩĩta kĩrĩndĩ hamwe na arutwo ake moke harĩ we, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩenda kũnũmĩrĩra, no nginya eerege we mwene, na akuue mũtharaba wake anũmĩrĩre.
And, calling near the multitude with his disciples, he said unto them—If anyone willeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me.
35 Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe wendaga kũhonokia muoyo wake nĩ kũũrwo akoorwo nĩguo, no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa na nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, nĩakaũhonokia.
For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake [of me and] of the glad-message, shall save it;
36 Mũndũ angĩĩguna nakĩ angĩĩgwatĩra thĩ yothe, no orwo nĩ muoyo wake?
For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?
37 Kana nĩ kĩĩ mũndũ angĩkũũrania na muoyo wake?
For what can a man, give, in exchange for his life?
38 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩconoka nĩ ũndũ wakwa na aconoke nĩ ũndũ wa ciugo ciakwa hĩndĩ ĩno ya rũciaro rũrũ rwa ũtharia na rwa mehia, o nake Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakamũconokera rĩrĩa agaacooka arĩ na riiri wa Ithe, arĩ na araika arĩa atheru.”
For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also, will be ashamed, of him, whensoever he shall come, in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.
