Mathayo 19
1 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ aarĩkia kũmeera maũndũ macio-rĩ, akiuma Galili, agĩthiĩ rũgongo rwa Judea mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.
When Jesus had finished saying these things, he departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Nao andũ aingĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, nake akĩmahoneria kuo.
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Na Afarisai amwe magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we nĩguo mamũgerie. Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie mũndũ atigane na mũtumia wake nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi o na kĩrĩkũ?”
Then the Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete, atĩ o kĩambĩrĩria Mũũmbi ‘ombire mũndũ-mũrũme na mũndũ-wa-nja’,
He answered them, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
5 na akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu mũndũ mũrũme nĩagatigana na ithe na nyina, na anyiitane na mũtumia wake, nao eerĩ matuĩke mwĩrĩ ũmwe’?
and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6 Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, acio ti andũ eerĩ rĩngĩ, no nĩ mũndũ ũmwe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arĩa Ngai anyiitithanĩtie, mũndũ ndakanamatigithanie.”
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire Musa aathane atĩ mũndũ no ahe mũtumia wake marũa ma gũtigana nake, amũte?”
They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Musa aamwĩtĩkĩririe mũtiganage na atumia anyu tondũ wa ũmũ wa ngoro cianyu. No gũtiarĩ ũguo kuuma kĩambĩrĩria.
He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe angĩtigana na mũtumia wake, tiga amũteire nĩ ũndũ wa ũtharia, nake ahikie mũtumia ũngĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩatharĩtie.”
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
10 Nao arutwo makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo kũrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũthuuri na mũtumia-rĩ, nĩ kaba kwaga kũhikania.”
His disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhota gwĩtĩkĩra ũhoro ũyũ, tiga no arĩa maheetwo ũhoti ũcio.
But Jesus said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it is given.
12 Nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe maaciarirwo mahaana ta marĩ ahakũre; angĩ maahakũrirwo nĩ andũ; na angĩ makarega kũhikania nĩ ũndũ wa ũthamaki wa igũrũ. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhota gwĩtĩkĩra ũndũ ũyũ, nĩawĩtĩkĩre.”
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to accept this should accept it.”
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩreherwo twana nĩguo atũigĩrĩre moko na atũhooere. No arutwo magĩkũũma arĩa maatũrehete.
Then little children were brought to Jesus so that he might lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Nowe Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rekei twana tũũke kũrĩ niĩ, tigai gũtũgiria, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Igũrũ nĩ wa arĩa mahaana ta tuo.”
Yet Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 Aarĩkia gũtũigĩrĩra moko, akiuma kũu.
And after laying his hands on them, he departed from there.
16 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe nĩokire kũrĩ Jesũ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mwega ingĩĩka nĩgeetha ngĩe na muoyo wa tene na tene?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a man came and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũkũnjũũria ũhoro wa ũndũ ũrĩa mwega nĩkĩ? Kũrĩ o Ũmwe mwega. Ũngĩenda gũtoonya muoyo-inĩ-rĩ, athĩkagĩra maathani.”
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone. But if yoʋ wish to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 Mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maathani marĩkũ?” Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “‘Ndũkanoragane, na ndũkanatharanie, na ndũkanaiye, na ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo,
The man said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “Yoʋ shall not murder, Yoʋ shall not commit adultery, Yoʋ shall not steal, Yoʋ shall not give false testimony,
19 na tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa,’ o na ‘endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene.’”
Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother, and, Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
20 Mwanake ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ macio mothe ndũire ndĩmarũmĩtie, nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩ ndigairie?”
The young man said to him, “I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy; what do I still lack?”
21 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩenda kwagĩrĩra kũna, thiĩ wendie indo ciaku ũhe athĩĩni mbeeca icio, na nĩũkagĩa na mũthiithũ igũrũ. Ũcooke ũũke ũnũmĩrĩre.”
Jesus said to him, “If yoʋ wish to be perfect, go sell what yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”
22 Rĩrĩa mwanake ũcio aiguire ũguo-rĩ, agĩthiĩ arĩ na kĩeha, tondũ aarĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ.
But when the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 O rĩngĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, nĩ ũhũthũ ngamĩĩra ĩhungurĩre irima rĩa cindano, gũkĩra gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 Rĩrĩa arutwo maiguire ũguo-rĩ, makĩmaka mũno, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩkĩhonoka?”
When his disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Nake Jesũ akĩmarora akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio ndũngĩhoteka nĩ andũ, no maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga nĩ Ngai.”
Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ nĩtũtigĩte maũndũ mothe, tũgakũrũmĩrĩra! Ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ tũkaaheo?”
Then Peter said to him in response, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ; what then will there be for us?”
28 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene kĩrĩ riiri, thĩinĩ wa thĩ njerũ, inyuĩ arĩa mũnũmagĩrĩra nĩ inyuĩ mũgaikarĩra itĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia ũnene, na nĩmũgatuĩra mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli ciira.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, when all things are made new and the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Na ũrĩa wothe ũtigĩte nyũmba, kana ariũ a nyina, kana aarĩ a nyina, kana ithe, kana nyina, kana ciana, kana mĩgũnda nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakamũkĩra maita igana ma iria atigĩte, na agae muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields for my name's sake, will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 No rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ arĩa marĩ mbere nĩo makaarigia thuutha, na aingĩ arĩa marĩ thuutha nĩo magaatongoria.
But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
