Mathayo 22
1 Nake Jesũ akĩmaarĩria rĩngĩ na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
And answering Jesus again spoke in parables to them saying;
2 “Ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũhaanaine na mũthamaki warugire iruga nĩ ũndũ wa ũhiki wa mũriũ.
Has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who made a wedding feast for the son of him.
3 Agĩcooka agĩtũma ndungata ciake kũrĩ andũ arĩa meetĩtwo iruga-inĩ, ikameere moke, nao makĩrega gũũka.
And he sent the servants of him to call those invited to the wedding feast, and not they were willing to come.
4 “Ningĩ agĩtũma ndungata ingĩ agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩrai acio metĩtwo atĩ nĩndĩkĩtie kũhaarĩria iruga: Ndegwa ciakwa na ngʼombe iria noru nĩirĩkĩtie gũthĩnjwo na maũndũ mothe nĩmahaarĩrie. Ũkai iruga-inĩ rĩa ũhiki.’
Again he sent other servants saying; do say to those invited; Behold the dinner of mine (I have prepared, *N(k)O*) the oxen of Mine and the fatlings killed, and all things [are] ready; come to the wedding feast.
5 “No andũ acio matiarũmbũirie ũhoro ũcio magĩĩthiĩra, ũmwe agĩthiĩ mũgũnda wake, na ũrĩa ũngĩ agĩthiĩ wonjoria-inĩ wake.
And having paid no attention they went away, (that [one] *N(k)O*) indeed to [his] own field, (that [one] *N(k)O*) however (to *N(k)O*) the business of him;
6 Acio angĩ magĩtharĩkĩra ndungata ciake, magĩcinyariira na magĩciũraga.
And the rest having laid hold of the servants of him mistreated and killed [them].
7 Mũthamaki ũcio nĩarakarire mũno, agĩtũma mbũtũ yake ĩkaniine oragani acio, na ĩgĩcina itũũra rĩao inene.
(and *o*) (having heard *k*) Now the king (that *k*) was angry, and having sent the armies of him he destroyed the murderers those and the city of them he burned.
8 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, ‘Iruga rĩa ũhiki nĩrĩhaarĩrie no rĩrĩ, arĩa ndĩretire-rĩ, matiraagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũũka.
Then he says to the servants of him; The indeed wedding feast ready is, those however invited not were worthy.
9 Thiĩi magomano-inĩ ma njĩra mwĩre mũndũ o wothe mũkuona oke iruga-inĩ rĩa kĩhikanio.’
do go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as (if *N(k)O*) you shall find, do invite to the wedding feast.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata icio ikiumagara, igĩthiĩ njĩra-inĩ, igĩcookanĩrĩria andũ othe arĩa ciahotire kuona, igĩĩta arĩa ega o na arĩa ooru, nayo nyũmba ya kĩhikanĩrio ĩkĩiyũra ageni.
And having gone out the servants those into the highways they brought together all (as many as *N(k)O*) they found, evil both and good; and became full the (wedding hall *NK(O)*) of those reclining.
11 “No rĩrĩa mũthamaki aatoonyire nĩguo one ageni-rĩ, akĩona kuo mũndũ ũmwe ũtehumbĩte nguo cia ũhiki.
Having entered in then the king to see those reclining he saw there a man not being dressed himself in clothes of wedding
12 Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrata wakwa, ũtoonyire atĩa gũkũ ũtarĩ na nguo cia kĩhikanio?’ Mũndũ ũcio agĩkira ki.
and he says to him; Friend, how did you enter here not having garment of wedding? And he was speechless.
13 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki ũcio akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, ‘Muohei moko na magũrũ, mũmũikie nja kũu nduma-inĩ, kũu nĩkuo gũgaakorwo kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.’
Then the king said to the servants; Having bound his feet and hands (do take and *KO*) do cast out him into the darkness outer; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
14 “Nĩgũkorwo aingĩ nĩmetĩtwo, no arĩa athuure nĩ anini.”
Many for are called, few however chosen.
15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai makiuma nja, magĩthugunda ũrĩa mangĩmũtega na ciugo ciake.
Then having gone out the Pharisees counsel took how Him they may trap in His words.
16 Magĩtũma arutwo ao hamwe na Aherodia kũrĩ we. Magĩthiĩ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩtũũĩ atĩ wee wĩ mũndũ wa ma, na ũrutanaga ũhoro wa Ngai na ma. Wee ndwĩtigagĩra andũ, tondũ ndũrũmbũyagia ũrĩa mahaana.
And they send to Him the disciples of them with the Herodians (saying; *NK(o)*) Teacher, we know that true You are and the way of God in [the] truth You teach, and not there is care to You about no [one], not for You look on [the] appearance of men.
17 Rĩu-rĩ, ta gĩtwĩre ũrĩa ũgwĩciiria. Nĩ kwagĩrĩire tũrutagĩre Kaisari igooti, kana aca?”
do tell therefore us what You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
18 No Jesũ, nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenya meciiria mao mooru, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ hinga ici, mũrenda kũngeria nĩkĩ?
Having known however Jesus the malice of them He said; Why Me do you test, hypocrites?
19 Nyoniai mbeeca ĩrĩa ĩhũthagĩrwo ya kũrĩha igooti.” Nao makĩmũtwarĩra dinari,
do show Me the coin of the tribute. And they presented to Him a denarius.
20 nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mbica ĩno na rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ nĩ cia ũ?”
And He says to them; Of whom [is] likeness this And [of whom is] the inscription?
21 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ cia Kaisari.” Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rutagĩrai Kaisari kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake, na mũrutagĩre Ngai kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake.”
They say to Him; Of Caesar. Then He says to them; do give back therefore the [things] of Caesar to Caesar and the [things] of God to God.
22 Rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo-rĩ, makĩgega. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtigana nake, magĩĩthiĩra.
And having heard they marveled, and having left Him they went away.
23 Mũthenya o ro ũcio Asadukai, arĩa moigaga atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka, magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
On that [very] day came to Him Sadducees (those *k*) saying not being a resurrection and they questioned Him
24 “Mũrutani, Musa aatwĩrire atĩ mũndũ angĩkua atarĩ na ciana, mũrũ wa nyina no nginya ahikie mũtumia ũcio wa ndigwa, nĩguo aciarĩre mũrũ wa nyina ciana.
saying; Teacher, Moses said; If anyone shall die not having children, will marry the brother of him the wife of him and he will raise up offspring for the brother of him.
25 Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ aanake mũgwanja a nyina ũmwe gatagatĩ-inĩ gaitũ. Nake ũrĩa mũkũrũ akĩhikania na agĩkua, na tondũ ndaarĩ na ciana, agĩtigĩra mũrũ wa nyina mũtumia.
There were now among us seven brothers. and the first having married died, and not having seed he left the wife of him to the brother of him;
26 Na gũkĩhaana o ũguo kũrĩ mũrũ wa nyina wa keerĩ, na wa gatatũ, makĩrũmanĩrĩra, magĩkua othe mũgwanja.
Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh.
27 Marigĩrĩrio-rĩ, mũtumia ũcio nake agĩkua.
Finally then of all died (and *ko*) the woman.
28 Rĩu-rĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũriũka-rĩ, mũtumia ũcio agaakorwo arĩ wa ũ harĩ acio mũgwanja, tondũ othe nĩmamũhikĩtie?”
In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven will she be wife? All for had her.
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũhĩtĩtie tondũ mũtiũĩ Maandĩko o na kana hinya wa Ngai.
Answering now Jesus said to them; You err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30 Hĩndĩ ya kũriũka andũ matikahikania kana mahike; magaatuĩka ta araika arĩa marĩ kũu igũrũ.
In for the resurrection neither do they marry nor (are given in marriage *N(k)O*) but like angels (*K*) (of God *KO*) in (*no*) heaven they are.
31 No ha ũhoro wa kũriũka kwa arĩa akuũ-rĩ, kaĩ mũtathomete ũrĩa Ngai oigire atĩrĩ,
Concerning now the resurrection of the dead surely you have read that which has been spoken to you by God saying;
32 ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Ngai wa Isaaka, na Ngai wa Jakubu?’ We ti Ngai wa arĩa akuũ, no nĩ Ngai wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.”
I myself am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?’ Not He is the God (God *k*) of [the] dead but of [the] living.
33 Rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩaiguire ũguo, gĩkĩgegio nĩ ũrutani wake.
And having heard the crowds were astonished at the teaching of Him.
34 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Afarisai maaiguire atĩ Jesũ nĩahootete Asadukai, magĩcookanĩrĩra hamwe.
And the Pharisees having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees were gathered together the same.
35 Ũmwe wao, warĩ njorua ya watho, akĩmũgeria na kũmũũria kĩũria gĩkĩ:
And questioned [Him] one of them a lawyer testing Him (and saying: *k*)
36 “Mũrutani, nĩ rĩathani rĩrĩkũ inene thĩinĩ wa Watho?”
Teacher, which commandment [is the] greatest in the law?
37 Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “‘Endaga Mwathani Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na meciiria maku mothe.’
And (Jesus *k*) (was saying *N(k)O*) to him; You will love [the] Lord the God of you with all the heart of you and with all the soul of you and with all the mind of you.’
38 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩathani rĩa mbere na rĩrĩa inene.
This is (the *no*) great and first commandment.
39 Narĩo rĩa keerĩ no ta rĩu: ‘Endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene.’
[The] second also [is] like (to it: *NK(o)*) You will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’
40 Watho wothe na ũrutani wa Anabii ũhingĩtio nĩ maathani macio meerĩ.”
On these two commandments all the law (hangs *N(k)O*) and the Prophets.
41 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo Afarisai monganĩte hamwe-rĩ, Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ,
When were assembled now the Pharisees questioned them Jesus
42 “Mwĩciiragia atĩa ũhoro wa Kristũ? Muugaga nĩ mũrũ wa ũ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũrũ wa Daudi.”
saying; What you think concerning the Christ? Of whom son is He? They say to Him; Of David.
43 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩagĩtũmire Daudi akĩaria arĩ na Roho amwĩte ‘Mwathani’? Nĩgũkorwo oigire atĩrĩ,
He says to them; How then David in spirit does call Him Lord saying:
44 “‘Mwathani eerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “Ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo, nginya ngaiga thũ ciaku rungu rwa makinya maku.”’
Said (the *k*) Lord to the Lord of me; do sit on [the] right hand of Me until when I may place the enemies of You ([as] a footstool *N(k)O*) for the feet of You?
45 Angĩkorwo Daudi amwĩtaga ‘Mwathani-rĩ’, angĩgĩtuĩka mũriũ wake atĩa?”
If therefore David calls Him Lord, how son of him is He?
46 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wahotire kũmũcookeria, na kuuma mũthenya ũcio gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kũgeria kũmũũria ciũria ingĩ.
And no [one] was able to answer Him a word nor dared anyone from that [very] day to question Him no longer. no longer.
