Mariko 9
1 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete ũthamaki wa Ngai ũgĩũka wĩ na hinya!”
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom 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.
After six days Yeshua [Salvation] took with him Peter [Rock], James [Surplanter], and John [Yah is gracious], and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 Nguo ciake ikĩerũha cua; gũtirĩ mũndũ gũkũ thĩ ũngĩahotire gũcithambia cierũhe ũguo.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Na marĩ o hau makiumĩrĩrwo nĩ Elija na Musa, makĩaranĩria na Jesũ.
Elijah [My God Yah] and Moses [Drawn out] appeared to them, and they were talking with Yeshua [Salvation].
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.”
Peter [Rock] answered Yeshua [Salvation], “Rabbi ·Teacher·, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses [Drawn out], and one for Elijah [My God Yah].”
6 (Petero oigire ũguo tondũ nĩarigĩtwo nĩ ũrĩa ekuuga, nĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa maamakĩte.)
For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 Ningĩ hagĩũka itu, rĩkĩmahumbĩra, na mũgambo ũkiuma itu-inĩ rĩu, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa nyendete. Mũiguagei!”
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my agapetos ·beloved, esteemed· Son. Listen to him.”
8 Na kahinda o kau makĩĩhũgũra, no mationire mũndũ ũngĩ arĩ hamwe nao, tiga o Jesũ.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Yeshua [Salvation] only.
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.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Nao magĩkira na ũhoro ũcio, no makooranagia o ene atĩrĩ, “kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ akuũ nĩ kuuga atĩa.”
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutani a watho moige atĩ Elija no nginya ambe ooke?”
They asked him, saying, “Why do the Torah-Teachers say that Elijah [My God Yah] 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?
He said to them, “Elijah [My God Yah] indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
13 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Elija nĩarĩkĩtie gũũka na andũ makamwĩka o ũrĩa wothe meendaga kũmwĩka, o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wake wandĩkĩtwo.”
But I tell you that Elijah [My God Yah] has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
14 Na rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩ arutwo arĩa angĩ, makĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩmarigiicĩirie, na arutani a watho magĩkararania nao.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and Torah-Teachers questioning them.
15 Na rĩrĩa andũ othe moonire Jesũ, makĩgega mũno magĩtengʼera makamũgeithie.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
16 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũrakararanĩria nao?”
He asked the Torah-Teachers, “What are you asking them?”
17 Mũndũ ũmwe warĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ngũkũreheire mũrũ wakwa, ũkoragwo arĩ na ngoma thũku na ndaaragia.
One of the multitude answered, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, I brought to you my son, who has a mute 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 seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your 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 answered him, “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.
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 Nake Jesũ akĩũria ithe wa kamwana kau atĩrĩ, “Nĩ hĩndĩ ĩigana atĩa gakoretwo kahaana ũguo?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kuuma arĩ o kaana.
He asked 'Aviv [his father], “How long has it been since this has come to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 Na maita maingĩ yanagaikia mwaki-inĩ o na maaĩ-inĩ ĩkoorage. No akorwo nĩ harĩ ũndũ ũngĩka, tũiguĩre tha ũtũteithie.”
Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.”
23 Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Atĩ ‘korwo ndahota’? Maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “If you can trust, all things are possible to him who trusts.”
24 O rĩmwe ithe wa kamwana kau akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkia, ndeithia harĩa njagĩte gwĩtĩkia.”
Immediately the Abba father of the child cried out with tears, “I trust. Help 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.”
When Yeshua [Salvation] saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
26 Ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩgĩkayũrũrũka, ĩgĩgathiorania na hinya, na ĩkiuma. Kamwana kau gakĩhaana ta karĩ gakuũ, o nginya andũ aingĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ gakuũ.”
Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 No Jesũ agĩkanyiita guoko, agĩgokĩria, nako gakĩrũgama.
But Yeshua [Salvation] took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Thuutha wa Jesũ gũtoonya nyũmba, arutwo ake makĩmũũrĩria keheri-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmire ithuĩ tũremwo nĩ kũingata ngoma ĩyo?”
When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t 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).
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.”
30 Nao makiuma kũu magĩtuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Galili, na Jesũ ndeendaga mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye kũrĩa marĩ,
They went out from there, and passed through Galilee [District, Circuit]. He didn’t want anyone to 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 was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 No matiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa oigaga, na magĩĩtigĩra kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio.
But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Nao magĩkinya Kaperinaumu. Na rĩrĩa aarĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũgũkararanagĩria kĩĩ tũrĩ njĩra-inĩ?”
He came to Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion], and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
34 No-o magĩkira tondũ marĩ njĩra-inĩ nĩmakararanagia makĩũranagia nũũ mũnene kũrĩ arĩa angĩ.
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the 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.”
He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
36 Nake akĩrehe kaana agĩkarũgamia gatagatĩ kao. Na aarĩkia gũkaiyũkia moko-inĩ make, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
He took a little child, and set him in the middle of them. 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 receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.”
38 Johana akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩtũronire mũndũ akĩingata ndaimono thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku tũramwĩra atige, tondũ ti ũmwe witũ.”
John [Yah is gracious] said to him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does 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 Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũthũ na ithuĩ nĩ ũmwe witũ.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
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 will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Messiah [Anointed one]’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way 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.
Whoever will cause one of these little ones who trust in me to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
43 Guoko gwaku kũngĩtũma wĩhie, gũtinie. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye muoyo-inĩ wĩ kĩonje,
If your hand causes you to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead), into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Nakuo kũgũrũ gwaku kũngĩtũma wĩhie, gũtinie. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye muoyo-inĩ ũrĩ gĩthua, gũkĩra ũikio Jehanamu ũrĩ na magũrũ meerĩ. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead), into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
46 Kũu kĩgunyũ kĩrĩa kĩmarĩĩaga gĩtikuaga, naguo mwaki ũrĩa ũmacinaga ndũhoraga.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
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)
If your eye causes you to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead) of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 kũu “‘kĩgunyũ kĩrĩa kĩmarĩĩaga gĩtikuaga, naguo mwaki ũrĩa ũmacinaga ndũhoraga.’
‘where their worm does not die, 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 everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
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 has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
