Mathayo 13
1 Mũthenya o ro ũcio-rĩ, Jesũ nĩoimire nyũmba agĩthiĩ agĩikara thĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 Ikundi cia andũ aingĩ mũno ikĩũngana harĩa aarĩ nginya ĩgĩtũma atoonye gatarũ na agĩikara thĩ thĩinĩ wayo, nao andũ acio othe makĩrũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Nake akĩmaruta maũndũ maingĩ na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Mũrĩmi nĩoimagarire akahure mbeũ ciake.
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 Na rĩrĩa aahuraga mbeũ icio-rĩ, imwe ikĩgũa mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra, nacio nyoni igĩũka ĩgĩcirĩa.
And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5 Ingĩ ikĩgũa rũnyanjara-inĩ kũrĩa gũtaarĩ na tĩĩri mũingĩ. Nacio ikĩmera o narua tondũ tĩĩri ndwarĩ mũriku.
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa riũa rĩarire, rĩgĩcina mĩmera ĩyo, nayo ĩkĩũma tondũ ndĩarĩ na mĩri.
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Na mbeũ ingĩ ikĩgũa mĩigua-inĩ, nayo mĩigua ĩgĩkũra, ĩgĩthararia mbeũ icio rĩrĩa ciamerire.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 Ingĩ nacio ikĩgũa tĩĩri-inĩ ũrĩa mũnoru, ikĩgĩa na maciaro imwe ĩgĩciara maita igana, iria ingĩ igĩciara maita mĩrongo ĩtandatũ, na iria ingĩ igĩciara maita mĩrongo ĩtatũ ma iria ciahaandirwo.
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Ũrĩa ũrĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩaigue.”
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Nao arutwo ake magĩũka kũrĩ we, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Waragĩria andũ na ngerekano nĩkĩ?”
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩmũheetwo ũmenyo wa kũmenya hitho cia ũthamaki wa igũrũ, no-o matiheetwo.
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ na indo nĩakoongererwo nyingĩ aingĩhie makĩria. Nake ũrĩa wothe ũtarĩ, nĩagatuunywo o na kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga ndĩmaarĩrie na ngerekano: “Nĩ ũndũ o na gũkorwo nĩmoonaga-rĩ, mationaga; o na gũkorwo nĩmaiguaga-rĩ, matiiguaga kana makamenya.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 Nĩo makinyĩirwo nĩ ũhoro ũrĩa warathirwo nĩ mũnabii Isaia, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ: “‘Kũigua mũgũtũũra mũiguaga, no mũtikaamenya ũndũ; kuona mũgũtũũra muonaga, no mũtigakuũkĩrwo.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 “‘Nĩgũkorwo ngoro cia andũ aya nĩ ngingitaru; matũ mao matiiguaga, na nĩmahingĩte maitho mao. Tondũ maahota kuona na maitho mao, na maigue na matũ mao, o na ngoro ciao igĩe na ũmenyo, manjookerere, na niĩ ndĩmahonie.’
For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 No kũrathimwo nĩ maitho manyu tondũ nĩmoonaga, na matũ manyu tondũ nĩmaiguaga.
But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 Tondũ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, anabii na andũ aingĩ athingu nĩmerirĩirie kuona maũndũ marĩa mũrona no-o matiamonire, na nĩmerirĩirie kũigua maũndũ marĩa mũraigua no matiamaiguire.
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them.]
18 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ta iguai ngĩtaarĩria ũhoro wa ngerekano ĩyo ya mũhuri wa mbeũ:
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe aigua ndũmĩrĩri ya ũthamaki na akaaga kũmĩmenya-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo ũrĩa mũũru okaga akamũtunya kĩrĩa kĩhaande ngoro-inĩ yake. Ĩno nĩyo mbeũ ĩrĩa yahurirwo mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20 Ũrĩa wamũkĩrire mbeũ ĩrĩa yagũire rũnyanjara-inĩ nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga kiugo, na o rĩmwe agakĩamũkĩra arĩ na gĩkeno.
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 No tondũ ndarĩ mĩri-rĩ, aikaraga o kahinda kanini. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa thĩĩna woka, kana kwagĩa na kĩnyariirano nĩ ũndũ wa kiugo-rĩ, agagĩtiganĩria o narua.
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22 Nake ũrĩa wamũkagĩra mbeũ ĩrĩa yagũire mĩigua-inĩ-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga kiugo, no mĩhangʼo ya mũtũũrĩre ũyũ, na kũheenererio nĩ ũtonga, igagĩthararia, ikagiria kĩgĩe na maciaro. (aiōn g165)
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 No ũrĩa wamũkĩrire mbeũ ĩrĩa yagũire tĩĩri-inĩ ũrĩa mũnoru-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga kiugo, na agakĩmenya. Nake agaciara maciaro, ũmwe akaruta maita igana, ũngĩ maita mĩrongo ĩtandatũ, na ũngĩ maita mĩrongo ĩtatũ ma mbeũ ĩrĩa yahaandĩtwo.”
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩmahe ngerekano ĩngĩ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũhaana ta mũndũ ũrĩa wahaandire mbeũ njega mũgũnda wake.
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 No rĩrĩa andũ othe maakomete-rĩ, thũ yake ĩgĩũka, ĩkĩhura itindiĩ thĩinĩ wa ngano, na ĩgĩĩthiĩra.
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngano yamerire na igĩciara-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo itindiĩ o narĩo rĩkĩonekana.
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 “Ndungata cia mwene mũgũnda igĩũka kũrĩ we, ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi witũ, githĩ ndwahaandire mbeũ njega mũgũnda waku? Kaĩ itindiĩ rĩkiumĩte kũ?’
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 “Agĩcookia atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩ ũthũ na niĩ wekire ũguo.’ “Ndungata icio ikĩmũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩũkwenda tũthiĩ, tũkarĩmunye?’
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 “Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, tondũ mũkĩmunya itindiĩ rĩu, mwahota kũrĩmunyanĩria na ngano.
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Rekei ikũranĩre nginya hĩndĩ ya magetha. Hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, nĩngeera agethi atĩrĩ: Ambai mũmunye itindiĩ na mũrĩohe itĩĩa, nĩguo rĩcinwo; mũcooke mũcookanĩrĩrie ngano, mũmĩige ikũmbĩ rĩakwa.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Nĩamaheire ngerekano ĩngĩ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũtariĩ ta mbeũ ya karatarĩ, ĩrĩa mũndũ oire akĩhaanda mũgũnda wake.
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 O na akorwo mbeũ ĩyo nĩyo nini mũno kũrĩ mbeũ ciothe-rĩ, rĩrĩa yakũra, nĩĩnenehaga kũrĩ mĩmera ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya mũgũnda na ĩgatuĩka mũtĩ, nacio nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ igooka igaaka itara honge-inĩ ciaguo.”
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Agĩcooka akĩmahe ngerekano o ĩngĩ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũhaana ta ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja oire na akĩmĩtukania na mũtu mũingĩ o nginya mũtu ũcio wothe ũkĩimbio nĩyo.”
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 Jesũ aaragĩria kĩrĩndĩ maũndũ macio mothe na ngerekano na ndaamaragĩria ũndũ o na ũmwe atekũhũthĩra ngerekano.
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 Nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa waaririo na kanua ka mũnabii ũhinge rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ: “Ngaatumũra kanua gakwa njarie na ngerekano, nĩngaaria maũndũ marĩa matũire marĩ mahithe kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo.”
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 Hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩtiga kĩrĩndĩ, agĩtoonya nyũmba. Arutwo ake magĩũka kũrĩ we, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũtaarĩrie ngerekano ya itindiĩ rĩrĩa rĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda.”
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wahaandire mbeũ njega nĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 Mũgũnda nĩ thĩ, nayo mbeũ njega nĩcio ciana cia ũthamaki. Itindiĩ nĩ ciana cia ũrĩa mũũru,
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
39 nayo thũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩhaandaga nĩ ũrĩa mũũru. Magetha nĩ ithirĩro rĩa mahinda maya, na agethi nĩ araika. (aiōn g165)
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o ta ũrĩa itindiĩ rĩmunyagwo rĩgacinwo na mwaki-rĩ, ũguo noguo gũkahaana hĩndĩ ya ithirĩro rĩa mahinda maya. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩagatũma araika ake, na nĩmakeheria maũndũ mothe marĩa marehaga mehia na andũ arĩa othe mekaga ũũru ũthamaki-inĩ wake.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 Nĩmakamaikia thĩinĩ wa icua rĩa mwaki, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa athingu magaakenga ta riũa thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki wa Ithe wao. Ũrĩa ũrĩ na matũ nĩ aigue.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 “Ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũhaanaine na mũthiithũ wahithĩtwo mũgũnda. Na rĩrĩa mũndũ aawoonire, akĩũhitha rĩngĩ, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa akenete, agĩthiĩ akĩendia indo ciothe iria arĩ nacio akĩgũra mũgũnda ũcio.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Ningĩ ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũhaanaine na mwonjorithia wacaragia ruru njega.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa oonire ĩmwe ya thogora mũnene-rĩ, agĩthiĩ akĩendia indo ciake ciothe iria aarĩ nacio, akĩmĩgũra.
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 “O rĩngĩ, ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũhaanaine na neti ĩrĩa yaikirio iria-inĩ, nayo ĩgĩtega thamaki cia mĩthemba yothe.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yaiyũrire, ategi acio a thamaki makĩmĩguucia hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria. Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩikara thĩ, magĩthuura thamaki iria njega, magĩciĩkĩra ikabũ-inĩ, no iria njũru magĩcite.
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 Ũguo nĩguo gũgaakorwo hĩndĩ ya ithirĩro rĩa mahinda maya. Araika nĩmagooka maamũranie arĩa aaganu kuuma kũrĩ arĩa athingu, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, (aiōn g165)
50 na maikie arĩa aaganu icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo na kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.”
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwataũkĩrwo nĩ maũndũ macio mothe?” Magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩtwataũkĩrwo.”
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũrutani wa watho o wothe ũrĩa ũrutĩtwo ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa igũrũ-rĩ, ahaanaine na mwene nyũmba ũrĩa ũrutaga mũthiithũ-inĩ wake indo iria njerũ o na iria ngũrũ.”
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
53 Nake Jesũ aarĩkia kũheana ngerekano icio-rĩ, akiuma kũu.
And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 Aakinya itũũra rĩa kwao-rĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana thunagogi-inĩ ciao, nao makĩgega. Makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ arutĩte kũ ũũgĩ ũyũ na ciĩko ici cia hinya?
And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
55 Githĩ ũyũ ti we mũrũ wa mũtharamara? Githĩ rĩĩtwa rĩa nyina ti Mariamu, na githĩ ariũ a nyina ti Jakubu, na Jusufu, na Simoni, na Juda?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Na githĩ aarĩ a nyina othe tũtirĩ nao? Mũndũ ũyũ akĩrutĩte maũndũ maya mothe kũ?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
57 Nao makĩmũrega. No Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kũndũ mũnabii ataheagwo gĩtĩĩo no itũũra-inĩ rĩake na gwake mũciĩ.”
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 Nake ndaaringire ciama nyingĩ kũu, tondũ wa ũrĩa maagĩte gwĩtĩkia.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
