< Mathayo 8 >
1 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikũrũkire kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, ikundi nene cia andũ ikĩmuuma thuutha.
Upon descending from the hill country He was followed by immense crowds.
2 Na mũndũ warĩ na mangũ agĩthiĩ harĩ we, agĩturia maru mbere yake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũngĩenda-rĩ, no ũũtherie.”
And a leper came to Him, and throwing himself at His feet, said, "Sir, if only you are willing you are able to cleanse me."
3 Nake Jesũ agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake, akĩhutia mũndũ ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwenda. Therio!” O hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩhonio mangũ make.
So Jesus put out His hand and touched him, and said, "I am willing: be cleansed." Instantly he was cleansed from his leprosy;
4 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Menya ndũkeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. No thiĩ ũkeyonanie kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ũrute kĩheo kĩrĩa Musa aathanire gĩtuĩke ũira kũrĩ o.”
and Jesus said to him, "Be careful to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses appointed as evidence for them."
5 Na Jesũ aarĩkia gũtoonya Kaperinaumu, mũnene-wa-thigari-igana agĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩmũhooya ũteithio.
After His entry into Capernaum a Captain came to Him, and entreated Him.
6 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ndungata yakwa ĩkomete mũciĩ ĩrũarĩte mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga na ĩrĩ na ruo rũingĩ mũno.”
"Sir," he said, "my servant at home is lying ill with paralysis, and is suffering great pain."
7 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ kũmĩhonia.”
"I will come and cure him," said Jesus.
8 No mũnene ũcio wa thigari igana akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, niĩ ndiagĩrĩire atĩ wee ũũke gwakwa. No uga o kiugo, na ndungata yakwa nĩĩkũhona.
"Sir," replied the Captain, "I am not a fit person to receive you under my roof: merely say the word, and my servant will be cured.
9 Nĩgũkorwo niĩ mwene ndĩ mũndũ wathagwo, na ndĩ na thigari njathaga. Ndeera ũmwe ‘Thiĩ,’ nĩathiiaga, na ndeera ũngĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Ũka,’ nĩokaga. Na ningĩ ndeera ndungata yakwa atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩka ũna,’ nĩĩkaga.”
For I myself am also under authority, and have soldiers under me. To one I say 'Go,' and he goes, to another 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave 'Do this or that,' and he does it."
10 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩgega, akĩĩra arĩa maamumĩte thuutha atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ndionete mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ gũkũ Isiraeli ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio mũnene ũũ.
Jesus listened to this reply, and was astonished, and said to the people following Him, "I solemnly tell you that in no Israelite have I found faith as great as this.
11 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, aingĩ nĩmagooka kuuma mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro, na nĩmagaikara iruga-inĩ hamwe na Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ.
And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,
12 No arĩa marĩ a ũthamaki ũcio nĩmagaikio nja, kũu nduma-inĩ, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.”
while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
13 Nake Jesũ agĩcooka akĩĩra mũnene ũcio wa thigari igana atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ! Nĩũgwĩkĩrwo o ũguo wĩtĩkĩtie.” Nayo ndungata yake ĩkĩhonio o ithaa rĩu.
And Jesus said to the Captain, "Go, and just as you have believed, so be it for you." And the servant recovered precisely at that time.
14 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire nyũmba ya Petero, akĩona atĩ nyina wa mũtumia wa Petero aarĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, agakoma gĩtanda-inĩ.
After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.
15 Akĩmũhutia guoko, nake agĩtiga kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, akĩarahũka, akĩambĩrĩria kũmũtungatĩra.
He touched her hand and the fever left her: and then she rose and waited upon Him.
16 Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio, andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono makĩrehwo kũrĩ we, nake akĩingata maroho macio na kuuga o kiugo, na akĩhonia arĩa othe maarĩ arũaru.
In the evening many demoniacs were brought to Him, and with a word He expelled the demons; and He cured all the sick,
17 Ũhoro ũyũ warĩ wa kũhingia ũrĩa kwaarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii Isaia, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ: “We mwene nĩoire wonje witũ, na akĩeheria mĩrimũ iitũ.”
in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, "He took on Him our weaknesses, and bore the burden of our diseases."
18 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire gĩkundi kĩa andũ arĩa maamũthiũrũrũkĩirie, agĩathana maringe mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria.
Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũrutani ũmwe wa watho agĩũka harĩ we, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩndĩkũrũmagĩrĩra kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga.”
when a Scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
20 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mbwe nĩ irĩ marima, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ nĩ irĩ itara, no Mũrũ wa Mũndũ ndarĩ handũ angĩigĩrĩra mũtwe wake.”
"Foxes have holes," replied Jesus, "and birds have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
21 Nake mũrutwo ũngĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, reke nyambe thiĩ ngathike baba.”
Another of the disciples said to Him, "Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father."
22 Nowe Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra, na ũreke arĩa akuũ mathike akuũ ao ene.”
"Follow me," said Jesus, "and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩtoonya gatarũ, nao arutwo ake makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.
24 Na rĩrĩ, gũkĩgĩa kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene gĩteerĩgĩrĩirwo kũu iria-inĩ, gĩgĩtũma gatarũ kende kũhubwo nĩ makũmbĩ ma maaĩ. No Jesũ aarĩ toro.
But suddenly there arose a great storm on the Lake, so that the waves threatened to engulf the boat; but He was asleep.
25 Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ, makĩmũũkĩria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tũhonokie! Nĩtũkũũrĩra maaĩ-inĩ!”
So they came and woke Him, crying, "Master, save us, we are drowning!"
26 Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũrĩ a wĩtĩkio mũnini, nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mwĩtigĩre ũguo?” Thuutha ũcio agĩũkĩra, agĩkũũma rũhuho na makũmbĩ macio, nakuo gũkĩhoorera biũ.
"Why are you so easily frightened," He replied, "you men of little faith?" Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves, and there was a perfect calm;
27 Andũ acio makĩgega, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũndũ ũyũ akĩrĩ ũ atĩ o na rũhuho na makũmbĩ ma maaĩ nĩimwathĩkagĩra?”
and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, "What kind of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!"
28 Rĩrĩa aakinyire rũgongo rwa bũrũri wa Agadari-rĩ, agĩtũngwo nĩ andũ eerĩ maarĩ na ndaimono, moimĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ. Maarĩ na ũũru mũingĩ mũno, atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩagerire njĩra ĩyo.
On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was able to pass that way.
29 Nao makĩanĩrĩra, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda atĩa na ithuĩ, wee Mũrũ wa Ngai. Woka gũkũ gũtũnyariira ihinda rĩrĩa rĩamũre rĩtanakinya?”
They cried aloud, "What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?"
30 Nĩ haarĩ na rũũru rũnene rwa ngũrwe rwarĩithagio handũ hataarĩ haraaya na hau maarĩ.
Now at some distance from them a vast herd of swine were feeding.
31 Nacio ndaimono igĩthaitha Jesũ, ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Akorwo nĩũgũtũingata-rĩ, tũtũme kũrĩ rũũru rũũrĩa rwa ngũrwe.”
So the demons entreated Him. "If Thou drivest us out," they said, "send us into the herd of swine."
32 Nake agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ikiuma, igĩtoonya ngũrwe, naruo rũũru ruothe rũgĩikũrũka kĩharũrũka-inĩ na ihenya, rũkĩgũa iria thĩinĩ, rũgĩkuĩra maaĩ-inĩ.
"Go," He replied. Then they came out from the men and went into the swine, whereupon the entire herd instantly rushed down the cliff into the Lake and perished in the water.
33 Arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio makĩũra, magĩthiĩ itũũra-inĩ, makĩheana maũndũ macio mothe o na ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte kũrĩ andũ arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono.
The swineherds fled, and went and told the whole story in the town, including what had happened to the demoniacs.
34 Hĩndĩ ĩyo itũũra rĩothe rĩkiumagara rĩgatũnge Jesũ. Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maamuonire, makĩmũthaitha oime rũgongo rwao.
So at once the whole population came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they besought Him to leave their country.
