Mathayo 9
1 Nake agĩtoonya gatarũ, akĩringa iria, agĩkinya itũũra rĩa kwao.
And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.
2 Andũ amwe makĩmũrehera mũndũ warĩ na mũrimũ wa gũkua ciĩga, akuuĩtwo na kĩbarĩ. Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire wĩtĩkio wao, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ, wĩyũmĩrĩrie, nĩwarekerwo mehia maku.”
And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
3 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, arutani amwe a watho makĩĩra na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaruma Ngai!”
And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.
4 Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meeciiragia, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũreciiria ũũru ngoro-inĩ cianyu nĩkĩ?
And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ mũhũthũ: nĩ kwĩra mũndũ, ‘Nĩwarekerwo mehia maku,’ kana kũmwĩra, ‘Ũkĩra wĩtware?’
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 No nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ arĩ na ũhoti gũkũ thĩ wa kũrekanĩra mehia-rĩ ….” Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte ciĩga atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku ũinũke mũciĩ.”
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy, ) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
7 Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩũkĩra, akĩinũka mũciĩ.
And he arose, and went into his house.
8 Rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩonire ũguo, gĩkĩmaka na gĩkĩgooca Ngai, ũrĩa waheete andũ ũhoti ta ũcio.
And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.
9 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimaga kũu, akĩona mũndũ wetagwo Mathayo aikarĩte harĩa heetagĩrio mbeeca cia igooti. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra,” nake Mathayo agĩũkĩra, akĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩ kwa Mathayo mũciĩ makĩrĩa irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, etia mbeeca cia igooti aingĩ na andũ ehia magĩũka kũrĩanĩra hamwe nake na arutwo ake.
And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Rĩrĩa Afarisai moonire ũguo, makĩũria arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani wanyu arĩĩanagĩra na etia mbeeca cia igooti na andũ ehia nĩkĩ?”
And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
12 Jesũ aigua ũguo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa agima mĩĩrĩ ti o mabataragio nĩ ndagĩtarĩ, no nĩ arĩa arũaru.
But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
13 No rĩrĩ, thiĩi mũkeerute ũrĩa ciugo ici ciugĩte: ‘Kũiguanĩra tha nĩkuo nyendaga, no ti magongona.’ Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndiokire gũcaria arĩa athingu, no ndokire nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa ehia.”
Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo a Johana magĩũka kũrĩ we makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ na Afarisai nĩtwĩhingaga kũrĩa, no nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mage kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio?”
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
15 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ageni a mũhikania mangĩhota atĩa kũigua kĩeha rĩrĩa mũhikania arĩ hamwe nao? Ihinda nĩrĩgakinya rĩrĩa mũhikania akeeherio kũrĩ o; hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo makeehinga kũrĩa irio.
And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
16 “Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtumagĩrĩra nguo ngũrũ kĩraka kĩa nguo njerũ, nĩgũkorwo kĩraka kĩu no kĩguucie nguo ĩyo gĩtũme ĩtarũke makĩria.
And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.
17 Ningĩ andũ matiĩkagĩra ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ ngũrũ. Mangĩĩka ũguo, mondo icio no itarũke, nayo ndibei ĩitĩke, na mondo icio cia ndibei cianangĩke o biũ. No andũ mekagĩra ndibei ya mũhihano mondo-inĩ njerũ, nacio cierĩ igaikara irĩ njega.”
Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.
18 Na rĩrĩa aaragia maũndũ macio, hagĩũka mũndũ warĩ mũnene, akĩmũturĩria ndu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu wakwa no hĩndĩ aakua; no ũka ũkamũigĩrĩre guoko, na nĩekũriũka.”
And he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 Nake Jesũ agĩũkĩra, agĩthiĩ nake, arĩ na arutwo ake.
And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.
20 O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtumia watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ agĩũka na thuutha wa Jesũ, akĩhutia gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake.
And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.
21 Tondũ eĩĩraga atĩrĩ, “Ingĩhutia o nguo yake, no hone.”
For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.
22 Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra, akĩmuona, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩyũmĩrĩrie gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone.” Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩhonio o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire nyũmba ya mũnene ũcio, akĩona ahuhi mĩtũrirũ na gĩkundi kĩa andũ kĩrĩa kĩanegenaga,
And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,
24 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Eherai. Mũirĩtũ ũyũ ti mũkuũ, nĩ gũkoma akomete.” Nao andũ acio makĩmũthekerera.
He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 Thuutha wa andũ acio kuumio nja, agĩtoonya thĩinĩ, akĩnyiita mũirĩtu ũcio guoko, nake agĩũkĩra.
And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.
26 Ũhoro ũcio ũkĩhunja bũrũri ũcio wothe.
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.
27 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire kũu, aathianga-rĩ, andũ eerĩ atumumu makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, makĩanagĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Tũiguĩre tha, wee Mũrũ wa Daudi!”
And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.
28 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aatoonyire nyũmba, atumumu acio magĩũka kũrĩ we, nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ no hote gwĩka ũguo?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ-ni, Mwathani.”
And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
29 Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmahutia maitho, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũroĩkwo o ũguo mwĩtĩkĩtie;”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
30 namo maitho mao makĩhingũka magĩcooka kuona. Nake Jesũ akĩmakaania na hinya, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye ũhoro ũyũ.”
And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.
31 No-o makiumagara na makĩhunjia ũhoro wake bũrũri ũcio wothe.
But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.
32 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moimaga hau, Jesũ akĩreherwo mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono, na ndaaragia.
And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.
33 Nayo ndaimono yaingatwo, mũndũ ũcio ũtaaragia, akĩaria. Kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩgega, gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ta ũyũ ndũrĩ woneka Isiraeli.”
And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.
34 No Afarisai makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aingataga ndaimono na hinya wa mũnene wa ndaimono.”
But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
35 Nake Jesũ agĩtuĩkania matũũra-inĩ mothe na mĩciĩ-inĩ yothe, akĩrutanaga thĩinĩ wa thunagogi ciao, akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũthamaki, na akĩhonagia mĩrimũ na ndwari cia mĩthemba yothe.
And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.
36 Na rĩrĩa oonire ũrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩaiganaga, agĩkĩiguĩra tha tondũ kĩarĩ gĩthĩĩnĩku na gĩkaaga ũteithio, ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi.
And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.
37 Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Magetha nĩ maingĩ, no aruti a wĩra nĩ anini.
Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.
38 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, hooyai Mwathani wa magetha atũme aruti wĩra mathiĩ magetha-inĩ make.”
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
