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, “Truly I say to you, there are some of you who are standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God 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.
Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John with him up a high mountain, alone by themselves. Then he was transfigured before them.
3 Nguo ciake ikĩerũha cua; gũtirĩ mũndũ gũkũ thĩ ũngĩahotire gũcithambia cierũhe ũguo.
His garments became radiantly brilliant, extremely white, whiter than any bleacher on earth could bleach them.
4 Na marĩ o hau makiumĩrĩrwo nĩ Elija na Musa, makĩaranĩria na Jesũ.
Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, 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.”
Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 (Petero oigire ũguo tondũ nĩarigĩtwo nĩ ũrĩa ekuuga, nĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa maamakĩte.)
(For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.)
7 Ningĩ hagĩũka itu, rĩkĩmahumbĩra, na mũgambo ũkiuma itu-inĩ rĩu, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa nyendete. Mũiguagei!”
A cloud came and overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Na kahinda o kau makĩĩhũgũra, no mationire mũndũ ũngĩ arĩ hamwe nao, tiga o Jesũ.
Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only Jesus.
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 the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one what they had seen, until 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.”
So they kept the matter to themselves, but they discussed among themselves what “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutani a watho moige atĩ Elija no nginya ambe ooke?”
They asked him, “Why do the 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?
He said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must 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 say to you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just as scripture says about him.”
14 Na rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩ arutwo arĩa angĩ, makĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩmarigiicĩirie, na arutani a watho magĩkararania nao.
When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes were arguing with them.
15 Na rĩrĩa andũ othe moonire Jesũ, makĩgega mũno magĩtengʼera makamũgeithie.
As soon as they saw Jesus, the whole crowd was amazed and as they ran up to him they greeted him.
16 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũrakararanĩria nao?”
He asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 Mũndũ ũmwe warĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ngũkũreheire mũrũ wakwa, ũkoragwo arĩ na ngoma thũku na ndaaragia.
Someone in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
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.”
It seizes him and it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they could not.”
19 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rũtetĩkagia, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũikarania na inyuĩ? Ngũmũkirĩrĩria nginya rĩ? Ndeherai kamwana kau.”
He answered them, “Unbelieving generation, how long will I have to stay with you? How long will 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 the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw him into a convulsion. The boy fell on the ground and foamed 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.
Jesus asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “Since childhood.
22 Na maita maingĩ yanagaikia mwaki-inĩ o na maaĩ-inĩ ĩkoorage. No akorwo nĩ harĩ ũndũ ũngĩka, tũiguĩre tha ũtũteithie.”
It has often thrown him into the fire or into the waters and tried to destroy him. If you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.”
23 Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Atĩ ‘korwo ndahota’? Maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie.”
Jesus said to him, “'If you are able'? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 O rĩmwe ithe wa kamwana kau akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkia, ndeithia harĩa njagĩte gwĩtĩkia.”
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! 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 Jesus saw the crowd running to them, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter into 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.”
It cried out and convulsed the boy greatly and then came out. The boy looked like one who was dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 No Jesũ agĩkanyiita guoko, agĩgokĩria, nako gakĩrũgama.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and the boy stood up.
28 Thuutha wa Jesũ gũtoonya nyũmba, arutwo ake makĩmũũrĩria keheri-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmire ithuĩ tũremwo nĩ kũingata ngoma ĩyo?”
When Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not 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 cannot be cast out except by prayer.”
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. He did not want anyone to know where they were,
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. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put him to death. When he has 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 did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Nao magĩkinya Kaperinaumu. Na rĩrĩa aarĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũgũkararanagĩria kĩĩ tũrĩ njĩra-inĩ?”
Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing 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 been arguing with 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.”
Sitting down, he called the twelve together and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must 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 placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and 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 such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one who 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 someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped 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 Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and can soon afterwards say anything bad about me.
40 Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũthũ na ithuĩ nĩ ũmwe witũ.
Whoever 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.”
Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, truly 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.
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea.
43 Guoko gwaku kũngĩtũma wĩhie, gũtinie. Nĩ kaba ũtoonye muoyo-inĩ wĩ kĩonje,
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands and to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (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)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have your two feet and be thrown 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)
If your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 kũu “‘kĩgunyũ kĩrĩa kĩmarĩĩaga gĩtikuaga, naguo mwaki ũrĩa ũmacinaga ndũhoraga.’
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
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.
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, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
