Mathayo 17
1 Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, Jesũ nĩathiire na Petero, na Jakubu, na mũrũ wa nyina Johana, akĩmatwara kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩraaya handũ hataarĩ na andũ.
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, brother of James, apart to the top of a high mountain,
2 Arĩ hau mbere yao akĩgarũrũka ũrĩa aahaanaga. Ũthiũ wake ũkĩara ta riũa, na nguo ciake ikĩerũha cua, ta ũtheri.
and was transfigured in their presence, His face shone as the sun; and his raiment became white as the light.
3 O hĩndĩ ĩyo hau mbere yao makiumĩrĩrwo nĩ Musa na Elija makĩaranĩria na Jesũ.
And presently appeared to them Moses and Elijah conversing with him.
4 Nake Petero akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ wega tũikare gũkũ; ũngĩenda-rĩ, no njake ithũnũ ithatũ, kĩmwe gĩaku, na kĩmwe kĩa Musa, na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ kĩa Elija.”
Peter, upon this, addressing Jesus, said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us make here, if you will, three booths; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 O akĩaragia-rĩ, itu ikengu rĩgĩũka rĩkĩmahumbĩra, na mũgambo ũkiuma itu-inĩ rĩu ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete; na nĩngenagio mũno nĩwe. Mũiguagei!”
While he was speaking, behold! a bright cloud covered them, and out of the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight; hear him.
6 Rĩrĩa arutwo maiguire ũguo-rĩ, makĩinamĩrĩra, magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ mamakĩte mũno.
The disciples, hearing this, fell upon their faces, and were greatly frightened.
7 No Jesũ agĩũka, akĩmahutia na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Arahũkai, tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
But Jesus came and touched them, saying, Arise; be not afraid.
8 Na rĩrĩa maatiirire maitho-rĩ, mationire mũndũ ũngĩ tiga o Jesũ wiki.
Then lifting up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus.
9 Rĩrĩa maikũrũkaga kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, Jesũ akĩmaatha akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikae kwĩra mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa muona, nginya rĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akaariũkio oime kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.”
As they went down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no person what you have seen, until the Son of Man rise from the dead.
10 Nao arutwo makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ gĩtũmaga arutani a watho moige atĩ Elija no nginya aambe ooke?”
Then the disciples asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must come first?
11 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, Elija no nginya aambe ooke, ahaarĩrie maũndũ mothe.
Jesus answering, said to them, To consummate the whole, Elijah, indeed, must come first.
12 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Elija nĩarĩkĩtie gũũka, no andũ makĩaga kũmũmenya, no nĩmamwĩkire ũrĩa wothe meendaga kũmwĩka. O ũguo noguo nake Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akaanyariirwo nĩo.”
But I tell you, Elijah is come already, though they did not acknowledge him, but have treated him as they pleased. Thus they will treat the Son of Man also.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo makĩmenya atĩ aamaheaga ũhoro wa Johana Mũbatithania.
Then the disciple understood, that he spoke concerning John the Immerser.
14 Rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩarĩ, mũndũ ũmwe agĩthiĩ harĩ Jesũ, akĩmũturĩria ndu,
When they were come to the multitude, a man came to him, who kneeling, said,
15 akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani iguĩra mũrũ wakwa tha, arĩ na mũrimũ wa kĩbaba na nĩũmũthĩĩnagia mũno. Kaingĩ nĩagũũaga mwaki-inĩ kana akagũa maaĩ-inĩ.
Sir, have pity on my son; for he is grievously distressed with lunacy; often ge falls into the fire, and often into the water,
16 Nĩndĩramũreheire arutwo aku, no matinahota kũmũhonia.”
and I presented him to your disciples; but they could not cure him.
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rũciaro rũrũ rũtetĩkĩtie na rũremi, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũikara na inyuĩ? Ngũmũkirĩrĩria nginya rĩ? Ndeherai kamwana kau.”
Jesus answering, said, O unbelieving and perverse race! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me.
18 Jesũ agĩkũũma ndaimono ĩyo, nayo ĩkiuma kamwana kau, na gakĩhonio o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out: and the lad was instantly cured.
19 Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Jesũ keheri-inĩ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũremirwo nĩkũingata ndaimono ĩyo nĩkĩ?”
At that time the disciple came to him privately, saying, Why could not we expel the demon?
20 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ wĩtĩkio wanyu nĩ mũnini. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũngĩkorwo na wĩtĩkio mũnini ta mbeũ ya karatarĩ, no mũhote kwĩra kĩrĩma gĩkĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Ehera haha, ũthiĩ haarĩa’ na gĩthiĩ. Gũtirĩ ũndũ ũkaamũrema.” (
Jesus answered, Because of your unbelief; for, indeed, I say to you, if you had faith, though but as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mountain, Remove to yonder place, and it would remove: yes, nothing would be impossible to you.
21 No ndaimono mũthemba ũcio ndĩngĩingatĩka na kĩndũ kĩngĩ, tiga mahooya na kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio.”)
This kind, however, is not dispossessed, unless by prayer and fasting.
22 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa macookanĩrĩire kũu Galili, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũkunyanĩrwo aneanwo moko-inĩ ma andũ.
While they remained in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is to be delivered up to men,
23 Nĩmakamũũraga, na mũthenya wa ĩtatũ nĩakariũkio.” Nao arutwo makĩiyũrwo nĩ kĩeha.
who will kill him: but the third day he shall be raised again. And they were grieved exceedingly.
24 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ na arutwo ake maarĩkia gũkinya Kaperinaumu, arĩa meetagia andũ daraki igĩrĩ cia igooti rĩa hekarũ magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Petero, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũrutani wanyu atarutaga igooti rĩa hekarũ?”
When they were come to Capernaum, the collectors came and asked Peter, Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?
25 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩarutaga.” Rĩrĩa Petero aatoonyire nyũmba, Jesũ akĩmũhĩta kwaria akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgwĩciiria atĩa, wee Simoni? Athamaki a thĩ-rĩ, metagia igooti kuuma kũrĩ a? Metagia ariũ ao, kana metagia andũ arĩa angĩ?”
He said, Yes. Being come into the house, before he spoke, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth exact tribute or custom? from their own sons, or from others?
26 Nake Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ.” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ariũ ao matirĩhaga.
Peter answered, From others. Jesus replied, The sons then are exempted.
27 No nĩguo tũtikamarakarie-rĩ, thiĩ iria-inĩ ũikie ndwano kuo, na thamaki ĩrĩa ũkũnyiita mbere, ũmĩtumũre kanua kayo, na nĩũkuona mbeeca, daraki inya; cioe ũthiĩ ũrĩhe igooti rĩakwa na rĩaku.”
Nevertheless, lest we shall give them offense, go to the sea and throw a line, draw out the first fish that is hooked, and, having opened its mouth, you shall find a stater; take that, and give it to them for me and you.
