Mathayo 12
1 Ihinda rĩu Jesũ nĩatuĩkanĩirie mĩgũnda-inĩ ya ngano mũthenya wa Thabatũ, na arutwo ake maarĩ ahũtu, na makĩambĩrĩria gũtua ngira cia ngano, magĩcirigitha, makĩrĩa ngano.
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
2 Rĩrĩa Afarisai moonire ũguo, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora! Arutwo aku nĩmareeka ũrĩa watho ũtetĩkĩrĩtie gwĩkwo mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete ũrĩa Daudi eekire rĩrĩa we na arĩa maarĩ nake maarĩ ahũtu?
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 Aatoonyire nyũmba ya Ngai, na arĩ hamwe na arĩa maarĩ nake, makĩrĩa mĩgate ĩrĩa yamũrĩirwo Ngai ĩrĩa mateetĩkĩrĩtio kũrĩa nĩ watho, tiga no athĩnjĩri-Ngai meetĩkĩrĩtio kũmĩrĩa.
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5 O na ningĩ kaĩ mũthomete Watho-inĩ atĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ nĩmathaahagia mũthenya ũcio na matituagwo ahĩtia?
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra hekarũ arĩ haha.
But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
7 Korwo nĩmwamenyete gĩtũmi gĩa ciugo ici, atĩrĩ, ‘Kũiguanĩra tha nĩkuo nyendaga, no ti magongona,’ mũtingĩatuĩrĩire andũ mateehĩtie mahĩtia.
But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Nĩgũkorwo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩwe Mwathani wa mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
9 Oima kũu-rĩ, agĩthiĩ agĩtoonya thunagogi yao,
And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
10 na nĩ haarĩ mũndũ wonjete guoko. Na tondũ nĩmacaragia gĩtũmi gĩa gũthitangĩra Jesũ-rĩ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie kũhonania mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wanyu ũngĩkorwo na ngʼondu, nayo ĩgwe irima mũthenya wa Thabatũ-rĩ, ũtangĩmĩruta irima?
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
12 Kaĩ mũndũ atakĩrĩ wa bata mũno gũkĩra ngʼondu! Nĩ ũndũ ũcio watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie gwĩka wega mũthenya wa Thabatũ.”
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Agĩcooka akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku.” Nake agĩtambũrũkia guoko, nakuo gũgĩtuĩka kũgima, o ta kũu kũngĩ.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 No Afarisai makiuma nja, magĩcookania ndundu ya ũrĩa mangĩũragithia Jesũ.
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Nake Jesũ aamenya ũhoro ũcio, akĩehera kũu. Andũ aingĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, nake akĩhonia arũaru ao othe,
But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
16 agĩcooka akĩmakaania atĩ matikoige we nĩwe ũ.
And charged them that they should not make him known:
17 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo wahingirie ũhoro ũrĩa waarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii Isaia, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18 “Ĩno nĩyo ndungata yakwa ĩrĩa ndĩĩthuurĩire, ĩrĩa nyendete, na nĩyo ĩkenagia ngoro yakwa; nĩngamĩitĩrĩria Roho wakwa, nayo nĩĩkamenyithia ndũrĩrĩ ciira wa kĩhooto.
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 Ndĩgaatetania kana ĩgũũthũke; na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaigua mũgambo wayo njĩra-inĩ.
He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 ndĩkoina kamũrangi kagondoku, kana ĩhorie rũtambĩ rũrĩa rũgũtooga, nginya rĩrĩa ĩgaatũma itua rĩakwa rĩhootane.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 Thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩayo ndũrĩrĩ nĩikaagĩa na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.”
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 Magĩcooka makĩmũrehera mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono, na aarĩ mũtumumu, na ndaaragia, nake Jesũ akĩmũhonia, akĩhota kwaria na kuona.
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 Andũ othe makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ no akorwo arĩ we Mũrũ wa Daudi?”
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 No rĩrĩa Afarisai maaiguire ũguo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aingataga ndaimono na hinya wa Beelizebuli ũrĩa mũnene wa ndaimono.”
But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 Nake Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meciiragia, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki o wothe ũngĩgayũkana ũũkanĩrĩre guo mwene no ũharagane, narĩo itũũra o rĩothe kana nyũmba ĩngĩgayũkana ndĩngĩĩhaanda.
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 Angĩkorwo Shaitani nĩwe ũingataga Shaitani-rĩ, nĩagayũkanĩte we mwene. Ũthamaki wake ũngĩkĩĩhaanda atĩa?
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 Na angĩkorwo niĩ nyiingataga ndaimono na hinya wa Beelizebuli-rĩ, nao andũ anyu maingataga ndaimono na hinya wa ũ? Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, acio nĩo makaamũtuĩra ciira.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 No niĩ ingĩkorwo nyiingataga ndaimono na Roho wa Ngai-rĩ, ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkinyĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 “Ningĩ-rĩ, mũndũ aahota atĩa gũtoonya nyũmba ya mũndũ njamba na amũtunye indo ciake ataambĩte kuoha mũndũ ũcio njamba? Hĩndĩ ĩyo no rĩo angĩhota kũmũtunya indo cia nyũmba yake.
Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩ thũ yakwa, nake ũrĩa ũtacookanagĩrĩria hamwe na niĩ, ũcio nĩkũhurunja ahurunjaga.
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Ningĩ ngũmwĩra atĩ, rĩĩhia o rĩothe o na kũruma Ngai, andũ no marekerwo, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaaruma Roho, ũcio ndakarekerwo.
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũgacaambia Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakarekerwo, no ũrĩa wothe ũgaacambia Roho Mũtheru, ũcio ndakaarekerwo, ihinda rĩrĩ tũrĩ kana ihinda rĩrĩa rĩgooka. (aiōn g165)
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. (aiōn g165)
33 “Agĩriai mũtĩ na maciaro maguo nĩmekwagĩra, kana mũthũkie mũtĩ na mũthũkie maciaro maguo mooru, nĩgũkorwo mũtĩ ũmenyekaga na maciaro maguo.
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.
34 Inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwa nduĩra, mwahota atĩa kwaria maũndũ mega, na mũrĩ ooru? Nĩgũkorwo kanua kaaragia maũndũ marĩa maiyũrĩte ngoro-inĩ.
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 Mũndũ mwega aaragia maũndũ mega moimĩte mũthiithũ-inĩ wake mwega, nake mũndũ mũũru aaragia maũndũ mooru moimĩte mũthiithũ-inĩ wake mũũru.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũthenya wa itua rĩa ciira, andũ nĩmakaheana ũhoro wa ciugo ciothe cia tũhũ iria manaaria.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 Nĩgũkorwo ciugo ciaku nĩcio igaatũma ũtuuo ndũrĩ na mahĩtia, na ciugo ciaku no cio igaatũma ũtuuo mũhĩtia.”
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai amwe na arutani a watho makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, tũkwenda ũtũringĩre kĩama.”
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rũciaro rwaganu na rwa ũtharia rũrenda rũringĩrwo kĩama! No gũtirĩ kĩama rũkũringĩrwo tiga o kĩama kĩrĩa kĩa mũnabii Jona.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 Nĩ gũkorwo o ta ũrĩa Jona aikarire matukũ matatũ, mũthenya na ũtukũ, arĩ nda ya thamaki ĩrĩa nene, ũguo noguo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agaikara matukũ matatũ, mũthenya na ũtukũ, arĩ tĩĩri-inĩ.
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Andũ a Nineve nĩmakarũgama hĩndĩ ya ciira hamwe na rũciaro rũrũ marũtuĩre ciira; nĩgũkorwo nĩmeririre rĩrĩa maahunjĩirio nĩ Jona, na rĩu ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra Jona arĩ haha.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
42 Mũthamaki mũndũ-wa-nja wa mwena wa Gũthini nĩakarũgama hĩndĩ ya ciira hamwe na rũciaro rũrũ arũtuĩre ciira; nĩgũkorwo nĩoimire ituri cia thĩ oke athikĩrĩrie ũũgĩ wa Solomoni, na rĩu ũmwe mũnene gũkĩra Solomoni arĩ haha.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
43 “Na rĩrĩ, roho mũũru woima thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, ũtuĩkanagĩria werũ-inĩ ũgĩcaria ũhurũko, na ũkaaga.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũcooka nyũmba ĩrĩa ndoimire.’ Na wacooka-rĩ, ũgakora nyũmba ĩyo ĩrĩ theri, ĩrĩ haate, ĩgathera na ĩgathondekwo wega.
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Hĩndĩ ĩyo roho ũcio ũkagĩĩra maroho mangĩ mũgwanja mooru makĩria maguo mwene, magatoonya magaikara kũu. Naguo mũikarĩre wa mũndũ ũcio ũgathũka gũkĩra wa mbere. Ũguo nĩguo gũkahaana kũrĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu.”
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
46 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ aaragĩria andũ-rĩ, nyina na ariũ a nyina makĩrũgama nja makĩenda kwaria nake.
While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Nake mũndũ ũmwe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Maitũguo na ariũ a maitũguo marũngiĩ haha nja, makĩenda kwaria nawe.”
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ nũũ, na ariũ a maitũ nĩ a?”
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 Agĩcooka akĩorota arutwo ake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩo maitũ na ariũ a maitũ.
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ wothe wĩkaga ũrĩa Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ endaga, ũcio nĩwe mũrũ na mwarĩ wa maitũ, na nĩ we maitũ.”
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
