Mariko 9
1 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete ũthamaki wa Ngai ũgĩũka wĩ na hinya!”
And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen that the kingdom of God hath come with power.
2 Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, Jesũ nĩmathiire na Petero na Jakubu na Johana, akĩmatwara kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩraaya, marĩ oiki. Na rĩrĩ, arĩ hau mbere yao akĩgarũrũka ũrĩa aahaanaga.
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.
3 Nguo ciake ikĩerũha cua; gũtirĩ mũndũ gũkũ thĩ ũngĩahotire gũcithambia cierũhe ũguo.
And his garments became glistening, very white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.
4 Na marĩ o hau makiumĩrĩrwo nĩ Elija na Musa, makĩaranĩria na Jesũ.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Nake Petero akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Rabii, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũikara gũkũ. Reke twake ithũnũ ithatũ, kĩmwe gĩaku, na kĩmwe kĩa Musa, na kĩmwe kĩa Elija.”
And Peter answering saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 (Petero oigire ũguo tondũ nĩarigĩtwo nĩ ũrĩa ekuuga, nĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa maamakĩte.)
For he knew not what to answer; for they were struck with terror.
7 Ningĩ hagĩũka itu, rĩkĩmahumbĩra, na mũgambo ũkiuma itu-inĩ rĩu, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa nyendete. Mũiguagei!”
And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.
8 Na kahinda o kau makĩĩhũgũra, no mationire mũndũ ũngĩ arĩ hamwe nao, tiga o Jesũ.
And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.
9 Na rĩrĩa maikũrũkaga kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, Jesũ akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa monete, nginya rĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agaakorwo ariũkĩte akoima kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them to give no account of what they had seen to any one, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.
10 Nao magĩkira na ũhoro ũcio, no makooranagia o ene atĩrĩ, “kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ akuũ nĩ kuuga atĩa.”
And they kept these words in mind, questioning one another what rising from the dead might mean.
11 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutani a watho moige atĩ Elija no nginya ambe ooke?”
And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?
12 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Elija no nginya ambe ooke ahaarĩrie maũndũ mothe. Ningĩ nĩ kĩĩ gĩgĩtũmĩte kwandĩkwo atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ no nginya athĩĩnĩke mũno na aregwo nĩ andũ?
And he said to them, Elijah cometh first, and restoreth all things. And how hath it been written of the Son of man? that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Elija nĩarĩkĩtie gũũka na andũ makamwĩka o ũrĩa wothe meendaga kũmwĩka, o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wake wandĩkĩtwo.”
But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.
14 Na rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩ arutwo arĩa angĩ, makĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩmarigiicĩirie, na arutani a watho magĩkararania nao.
And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.
15 Na rĩrĩa andũ othe moonire Jesũ, makĩgega mũno magĩtengʼera makamũgeithie.
And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.
16 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũrakararanĩria nao?”
And he asked them, About what are ye debating with them?
17 Mũndũ ũmwe warĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ngũkũreheire mũrũ wakwa, ũkoragwo arĩ na ngoma thũku na ndaaragia.
And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe yamũnyiita, ĩmũtungumanagia thĩ na akarutaga mũhũyũ na kanua, akahagarania magego na akomagara. Njũũririe arutwo aku maingate ngoma ĩyo thũku, no matinahota.”
And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.
19 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rũtetĩkagia, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũikarania na inyuĩ? Ngũmũkirĩrĩria nginya rĩ? Ndeherai kamwana kau.”
He answereth and saith to them, O unbelieving generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩgatwarĩra Jesũ. Rĩrĩa ngoma ĩyo thũku yoonire Jesũ, ĩgĩgathiorania o rĩmwe. Gagĩtungumana thĩ, gakĩgaragara, gakĩrutaga mũhũyũ na kanua.
And they brought him to him. And as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.
21 Nake Jesũ akĩũria ithe wa kamwana kau atĩrĩ, “Nĩ hĩndĩ ĩigana atĩa gakoretwo kahaana ũguo?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kuuma arĩ o kaana.
And he asked his father, How long hath it been thus with him? And he said, From a child;
22 Na maita maingĩ yanagaikia mwaki-inĩ o na maaĩ-inĩ ĩkoorage. No akorwo nĩ harĩ ũndũ ũngĩka, tũiguĩre tha ũtũteithie.”
and it hath often cast him both into fire, and into water, to destroy him; but if thou art able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Atĩ ‘korwo ndahota’? Maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie.”
Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.
24 O rĩmwe ithe wa kamwana kau akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkia, ndeithia harĩa njagĩte gwĩtĩkia.”
The father of the child immediately cried out and said, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
25 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire atĩ kĩrĩndĩ nĩgĩatengʼerete gĩũke hau, agĩkũũma ngoma ĩyo thũku. Akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee ngoma ĩno thũku ũtaiguaga na ũtaaragia, nĩndagwatha uume thĩinĩ wa kamwana gaka, na ndũkanacooke gũtoonya thĩinĩ wako rĩngĩ.”
And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 Ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩgĩkayũrũrũka, ĩgĩgathiorania na hinya, na ĩkiuma. Kamwana kau gakĩhaana ta karĩ gakuũ, o nginya andũ aingĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ gakuũ.”
And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.
27 No Jesũ agĩkanyiita guoko, agĩgokĩria, nako gakĩrũgama.
But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 Thuutha wa Jesũ gũtoonya nyũmba, arutwo ake makĩmũũrĩria keheri-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmire ithuĩ tũremwo nĩ kũingata ngoma ĩyo?”
And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
29 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngoma ya mũthemba ta ũcio ndĩngiuma na njĩra ĩngĩ tiga o ya mahooya (o na kwĩima irio).” (Nĩ harĩ maandĩko mangĩ matakoragwo na ũhoro ũyũ wa kwĩima irio).
And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer.
30 Nao makiuma kũu magĩtuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Galili, na Jesũ ndeendaga mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye kũrĩa marĩ,
And departing thence, they passed through Galilee; and he would not that any one should know it.
31 tondũ nĩarutaga arutwo ake. Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũkunyanĩrwo aneanwo moko-inĩ ma andũ, nao nĩmakamũũraga, no thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ nĩakariũka.”
For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.
32 No matiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa oigaga, na magĩĩtigĩra kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio.
But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Nao magĩkinya Kaperinaumu. Na rĩrĩa aarĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũgũkararanagĩria kĩĩ tũrĩ njĩra-inĩ?”
And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?
34 No-o magĩkira tondũ marĩ njĩra-inĩ nĩmakararanagia makĩũranagia nũũ mũnene kũrĩ arĩa angĩ.
But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.
35 Na aikara thĩ, Jesũ agĩĩta arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩenda gũtuĩka wa mbere, no nginya akorwo arĩ wa thuutha wa arĩa angĩ na atuĩke ndungata ya andũ othe.”
And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any one desire to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all.
36 Nake akĩrehe kaana agĩkarũgamia gatagatĩ kao. Na aarĩkia gũkaiyũkia moko-inĩ make, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩamũkĩra kaana kamwe ta gaka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩ niĩ aamũkagĩra; na ũrĩa ũngĩnyamũkĩra niĩ to niĩ aamũkagĩra, no nĩamũkagĩra ũrĩa wandũmire.”
Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 Johana akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩtũronire mũndũ akĩingata ndaimono thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku tũramwĩra atige, tondũ ti ũmwe witũ.”
John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.
39 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũgirie! Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩringa kĩama thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa na thuutha ũcio ahote gũcooka kwaria ũũru wakwa,
But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.
40 Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũthũ na ithuĩ nĩ ũmwe witũ.
For he that is not against us is for us.
41 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkaamũhe gĩkombe kĩa maaĩ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩ ũndũ mũrĩ a Kristũ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ akoorwo nĩ igai rĩake.”
For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, truly do I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 “Na mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgaatũma kamwe ga twana tũtũ tũnjĩtĩkĩtie kehie, wega nĩ mũndũ ũcio ohererwo ihiga rĩa gĩthĩi ngingo na aikio thĩinĩ wa iria.
And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe to fall away, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea.
43 Guoko gwaku kũngĩtũma wĩhie, gũtinie. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye muoyo-inĩ wĩ kĩonje,
And if thy hand cause thee to fall away, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable. (Geenna g1067)
45 Nakuo kũgũrũ gwaku kũngĩtũma wĩhie, gũtinie. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye muoyo-inĩ ũrĩ gĩthua, gũkĩra ũikio Jehanamu ũrĩ na magũrũ meerĩ. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot is causing thee to fall away, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 Kũu kĩgunyũ kĩrĩa kĩmarĩĩaga gĩtikuaga, naguo mwaki ũrĩa ũmacinaga ndũhoraga.
47 Na riitho rĩaku rĩngĩtũma wĩhie, rĩkũũre. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai ũrĩ na riitho rĩmwe gũkĩra ũikio Jehanamu ũrĩ na maitho meerĩ, (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye is causing thee to fall away, pluck it out; it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 kũu “‘kĩgunyũ kĩrĩa kĩmarĩĩaga gĩtikuaga, naguo mwaki ũrĩa ũmacinaga ndũhoraga.’
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 Mũndũ o wothe agekĩrwo mũcamo wa cumbĩ nĩ mwaki, (na igongona o rĩothe rĩĩkĩrwo mũcamo na cumbĩ).
For every one will be salted with fire.
50 “Cumbĩ nĩ mwega, no cumbĩ ũngĩkorwo nĩũthirĩte mũcamo waguo-rĩ, ũngĩcooka gũcamithio ta cumbĩ na kĩ? Tuĩkai cumbĩ, na mũikaranagie na thayũ.”
Salt is good; but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
