Mathayo 11
1 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aarĩkia gwatha arutwo acio ake ikũmi na eerĩ-rĩ, akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ kũrutana na kũhunjia matũũra-inĩ ma Galili.
And it came to pass when finished Jesus commanding the twelve disciples of Him, He departed from there to teach and to preach in the cities of them.
2 Na rĩrĩa Johana aiguĩre arĩ njeera maũndũ marĩa Kristũ eekaga-rĩ, agĩtũma arutwo ake,
And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent (on account of *N(K)O*) of the disciples of him
3 makamũũrie atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe warĩ ũũke, kana tweterere mũndũ ũngĩ?”
said to Him; You yourself are the coming [One], or another are we to look for?
4 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Cookai mũkeere Johana maũndũ marĩa mwaigua na marĩa muona:
And answering Jesus said to them; Having gone do relate to John what you hear and see:
5 Atumumu nĩmaroona, na arĩa mathuaga nĩmaretwara, na arĩa marĩ na mangũ nĩmarahonio magathera, na arĩa mataiguaga nĩ maraigua, na arĩa akuũ nĩmarariũkio, na Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega nĩũrahunjĩrio arĩa athĩĩni.
Blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, (and *no*) dead are raised, and poor are evangelised;
6 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũtekũhĩngwo arakare nĩ ũndũ wakwa.”
And blessed is he who (only *NK(o)*) unless shall fall away in Me myself.
7 Rĩrĩa arutwo a Johana moimaga hau, Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria kwarĩria kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro wa Johana, akĩmooria atĩrĩ: “Mwathiĩte werũ-inĩ kuona kĩ? Mwathiĩte kuona kamũrangi kainainagio nĩ rũhuho?
As these now were going away began Jesus to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed by [the] wind shaken?
8 Akorwo ti ũguo-rĩ, mwathiĩte kuona kĩ? Hihi nĩ mũndũ wehumbĩte nguo njega? Aca, arĩa mehumbaga nguo njega makoragwo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba cia ũthamaki.
But what did you go out to see? A man in delicate (garments *k*) dressed? Behold those delicate [clothing] wearing in the houses (of kings *NK(o)*) are;
9 Mwagĩthiĩte kuona kĩ? Hihi mwathiĩte kuona mũnabii? Ĩĩ, ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, muonire mũndũ ũkĩrĩte mũnabii.
But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes I say to you; and [one] more excellent than a prophet.
10 Ũyũ nĩwe ũhoro wake waandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩngũtũma mũtũmwo wakwa athiĩ mbere yaku, agagũthondekere njĩra yaku.’
For this (for *ko*) is [he] concerning whom it has been written: Behold I myself send the messenger of Mine before [the] face of You who will prepare the way of You before You.’
11 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma: Harĩ andũ arĩa manaciarwo nĩ andũ-a-nja, gũtirĩ kuoneka mũndũ mũnene gũkĩra Johana Mũbatithania; no rĩrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũnini mũno ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ-rĩ, nĩ mũnene kũmũkĩra.
Amen I say to you; not has been raised among [those] born of women one greater than John the Baptist; Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens greater than he is.
12 Kuuma matukũ ma Johana Mũbatithania gwata rĩu, ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩũkoretwo ũkĩĩhatĩrĩria gũtheerema, nao andũ arĩa mehatagĩrĩria nĩo mawĩgwatagĩra na hinya.
From then the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent claim it.
13 Nĩgũkorwo Anabii othe, hamwe na Watho wa Musa, nĩmatũire marathaga ũhoro nginya hĩndĩ ya Johana.
All for the prophets and the law until John prophesied.
14 Na angĩkorwo no mwende kwamũkĩra ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, ũcio nĩwe Elija ũrĩa werĩtwo nĩagooka.
And if you are willing to receive [it], he himself is Elijah who is being about to come.
15 Ũrĩa ũrĩ na matũ ma kũigua nĩaigue.
The [one] having ears he should hear.
16 “Rĩu-rĩ, ingĩgerekania rũciaro rũrũ na kĩ? Rũhaana ta ciana ciikarĩte ndũnyũ igĩĩtaga iria ingĩ, igaciĩra atĩrĩ:
To what however will I compare generation this? Like it is (children *N(k)O*) sitting in (the *no*) markets (who *N(K)O*) (calling out *N(k)O*) (to others *N(K)O*) (of them *k*)
17 “‘Twamũhuhĩire mũtũrirũ, mũkĩaga kũina; o na twamũinĩire nyĩmbo cia macakaya, no mũtiacakaire.’
(and *k*) saying: We piped for you and not you did dance, we sang a dirge (to you *k*) and not you did wail.
18 Nĩgũkorwo Johana ookire atekũrĩa na atekũnyua, nao andũ makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Arĩ na ndaimono.’
Came for John neither eating nor drinking, and they say; A demon he has!
19 Mũrũ wa Mũndũ ookire akĩrĩĩaga na akĩnyuuaga, nao makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Onei mũndũ mũkoroku na mũrĩĩu, nĩ mũrata wa etia mbeeca cia igooti na “andũ ehia”.’ No ũũgĩ wonekaga nĩ wa ma nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciaguo.”
Came the Son of Man eating and drinking, and they say; Behold a man a glutton and a drunkard, of tax collectors a friend and of sinners! But is justified wisdom by the (deeds *N(K)O*) of her.
20 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria gũtetia matũũra manene marĩa maaringĩirwo ciama ciake iria nyingĩ, tondũ andũ akuo matiigana kwĩrira, akiuga atĩrĩ,
Then He began to denounce the cities in which had taken place the most miracles of Him because not they repented;
21 “Inyuĩ andũ a Korazini, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! O na inyuĩ andũ a Bethisaida, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Nĩ ũndũ korwo ciama iria mwaringĩirwo nĩcio ciaringĩirwo andũ a Turo na Sidoni, mangĩeririre tene, mehumbĩte nguo cia makũnia na mehurĩrie mũhu mĩtwe.
Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon had taken place the miracles which having come to pass in you, long ago then would in sackcloth and ashes they have repented.
22 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, andũ a Turo na Sidoni nĩmagakorwo marĩ murũ mũthenya ũcio wa ciira gũkĩra inyuĩ.
But I say to you; for Tyre and Sidon more tolerable will it be in [the] day of judgment than for you.
23 Na inyuĩ, andũ a Kaperinaumu, nĩmũkambarario nginya matu-inĩ? Aca, mũkaaharũrũkio mũkinye kũrĩa kũriku mũno. Ciama iria mwaringĩirwo ingĩaringĩirwo Sodomu, nĩkũngĩtũũraga nginya ũmũthĩ. (Hadēs g86)
And you yourself Capernaum, (surely not *N(K)O*) to (*k*) heaven (will be exalted? *N(k)O*) to Hades (will go down! *N(k)O*) For if in Sodom (happened *N(k)O*) the miracles that were happening in you, (it remained *N(k)O*) then would until the day. (Hadēs g86)
24 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Sodomu nĩgũgakorwo murũ mũthenya ũcio wa ciira kũmũkĩra.”
But I say to you that for [the] land of Sodom more tolerable will it be in day of judgment than for you.
25 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, wee Mwathani wa igũrũ na thĩ, nĩngũkũgaatha tondũ nĩũhithĩte andũ arĩa oogĩ na marĩ na ũmenyo maũndũ maya, na ũkamaguũrĩria tũkenge.
At that [very] time answering Jesus said; I fully consent to You, Father Lord of the heaven and the earth, for (You did hide *N(k)O*) these things from wise and learned and did reveal them to little children.
26 Ĩĩ, Baba, nĩgũkorwo ũyũ nĩ wendi waku.
Yes O Father, for thus well-pleasing it was before You.
27 “Nĩnengeretwo maũndũ mothe nĩ Baba. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ Mũriũ tiga Ithe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ Ithe tiga Mũriũ, na arĩa Mũriũ, endaga kũguũrĩria.
All things to Me was delivered by the Father of Mine, And no [one] knows the Son only except the Father, nor the Father anyone does know only except the Son and to whom if shall choose the Son to reveal [Him].
28 “Ũkai kũrĩ niĩ, inyuothe anogu na mũkuuĩte mĩrigo mĩritũ, na nĩngũmũhurũkia.
Come to Me all you who [are] toiling and burdened, and I myself and I myself will give rest to you.
29 Oyai icooki rĩakwa mwĩigĩrĩre na mwĩrute na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũhooreri na mwĩnyiihia ngoro-inĩ, nacio ngoro cianyu nĩikũhurũkio.
do take the yoke of Mine upon you and do learn from Me for gentle I am and humble in heart, and you will find rest for the souls of you.
30 Nĩgũkorwo icooki rĩakwa nĩ ihũthũ, na mũrigo wakwa nĩ mũhũthũ.”
The for yoke of Mine [is] easy and the burden of Mine light is.
