< 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, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
2 Arĩ hau mbere yao akĩgarũrũka ũrĩa aahaanaga. Ũthiũ wake ũkĩara ta riũa, na nguo ciake ikĩerũha cua, ta ũtheri.
There he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as light.
3 O hĩndĩ ĩyo hau mbere yao makiumĩrĩrwo nĩ Musa na Elija makĩaranĩria na Jesũ.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking 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.”
So Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If yoʋ want, we will make three shelters here, one for yoʋ, 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 still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him!”
6 Rĩrĩa arutwo maiguire ũguo-rĩ, makĩinamĩrĩra, magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ mamakĩte mũno.
When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were utterly afraid.
7 No Jesũ agĩũka, akĩmahutia na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Arahũkai, tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
But Jesus came over and touched them, saying, “Rise; do not be afraid.”
8 Na rĩrĩa maatiirire maitho-rĩ, mationire mũndũ ũngĩ tiga o Jesũ wiki.
And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one 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 were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about the vision you saw until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
10 Nao arutwo makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ gĩtũmaga arutani a watho moige atĩ Elija no nginya aambe ooke?”
Then his disciples asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, Elija no nginya aambe ooke, ahaarĩrie maũndũ mothe.
Jesus answered them, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he will restore all things.
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 that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. Even so the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.”
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo makĩmenya atĩ aamaheaga ũhoro wa Johana Mũbatithania.
Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
14 Rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩarĩ, mũndũ ũmwe agĩthiĩ harĩ Jesũ, akĩmũturĩria ndu,
When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus, kneeling before him
15 akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani iguĩra mũrũ wakwa tha, arĩ na mũrimũ wa kĩbaba na nĩũmũthĩĩnagia mũno. Kaingĩ nĩagũũaga mwaki-inĩ kana akagũa maaĩ-inĩ.
and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Nĩndĩramũreheire arutwo aku, no matinahota kũmũhonia.”
I brought him to yoʋr disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rũciaro rũrũ rũtetĩkĩtie na rũremi, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũikara na inyuĩ? Ngũmũkirĩrĩria nginya rĩ? Ndeherai kamwana kau.”
Jesus answered, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
18 Jesũ agĩkũũma ndaimono ĩyo, nayo ĩkiuma kamwana kau, na gakĩhonio o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that hour.
19 Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Jesũ keheri-inĩ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũremirwo nĩkũingata ndaimono ĩyo nĩkĩ?”
Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
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 said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
21 No ndaimono mũthemba ũcio ndĩngĩingatĩka na kĩndũ kĩngĩ, tiga mahooya na kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio.”)
But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
22 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa macookanĩrĩire kũu Galili, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũkunyanĩrwo aneanwo moko-inĩ ma andũ.
While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.
23 Nĩmakamũũraga, na mũthenya wa ĩtatũ nĩakariũkio.” Nao arutwo makĩiyũrwo nĩ kĩeha.
They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised up.” And the disciples were greatly distressed.
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 came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Your teacher pays the two-drachma tax, doesn't he?”
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.” And when Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do yoʋ think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tax? From their own sons or from strangers?”
26 Nake Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ.” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ariũ ao matirĩhaga.
Peter said to him, “From strangers.” And Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free.
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.”
But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish yoʋ catch. When yoʋ open its mouth, yoʋ will find a stater coin. Take it and give it to them for yoʋ and me.”
