< Luke 10 >

1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy other disciples, and sent them in pairs to every town and place that he planned to visit.
Thuutha wa ũguo Mwathani agĩthuura andũ angĩ mĩrongo mũgwanja na eerĩ, akĩmatũma eerĩ eerĩ, mathiĩ mbere yake matũũra-inĩ mothe na kũndũ kũrĩa we aakirie gũthiĩ.
2 “The harvest is large, but the number of workers is small,” he told them. “Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers to his harvest fields.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Magetha nĩ maingĩ, no aruti a wĩra nĩ anini. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thaithai Mwathani wa magetha atũme aruti wĩra mathiĩ magetha-inĩ make.
3 So get on your way: I'm sending you like sheep among wolves.
Thiĩi! Ndamũtũma ta tũgondu gatagatĩ-inĩ ka njũũi.
4 Don't take any money or a bag or extra sandals, and don't spend time chatting with people you meet.
Mũtigakuue kĩbeti, kana mũhuko, o na kana iraatũ; na mũtikageithie mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ njĩra-inĩ.
5 Whatever house you enter, first of all say, ‘May this house have peace.’
“Nyũmba o yothe ĩrĩa mũrĩtoonyaga-rĩ, ambagai kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Thayũ ũrogĩa nyũmba ĩno.’
6 If there's a peaceful person living there, then your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.
Na kũngĩkorwo nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ mwendi thayũ kuo, thayũ ũcio wanyu nĩũrĩikaraga nake; na kũngĩkorwo gũtirĩ, thayũ ũcio wanyu nĩ ũrĩmũcookagĩrĩra.
7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for a worker deserves to be paid. Don't go from house to house.
Ikarai nyũmba ĩyo, mũrĩĩage na mũkanyua kĩrĩa gĩothe marĩmũheaga, nĩgũkorwo mũruti wĩra nĩagĩrĩirwo kũheagwo mũcaara wake. Mutikoimage nyũmba ĩmwe mũgathiĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
8 If you enter a town and the people there welcome you, then eat what's set before you
“Mũngĩgatoonya itũũra mũnyiitwo ũgeni-rĩ, rĩĩagai o kĩrĩa mũngĩheo.
9 and heal those who are sick. Tell them, ‘God's kingdom has come to you.’
Honagiai arĩa arũaru kuo, na mũmeerage atĩrĩ, ‘Ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũmũkuhĩrĩirie.’
10 But if you enter a town and the people there don't welcome you, go through their streets telling them,
No mũngĩgatoonya itũũra o rĩothe mwage kũnyiitwo ũgeni-rĩ, umagarai, mũthiĩ njĩra-inĩ ciarĩo muuge atĩrĩ,
11 ‘We are wiping off even the dust from your town that clings to our feet to show you our disapproval. But you should recognize this: God's kingdom has come.’
‘Nĩtwaribariba o na rũkũngũ rwa itũũra rĩanyu rũrĩa rwĩnyiitĩrĩire magũrũ maitũ, rũmũcookerere. No rĩrĩ, menyai wega ũũ: ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũmũkuhĩrĩirie.’
12 I tell you, in the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than for such a town.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Sodomu nĩgũgakirĩrĩrio mũthenya ũcio gũkĩra itũũra rĩu.
13 Shame on you Korazin! Shame on you Bethsaida! For if the miracles you saw happen had happened in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented a long time ago, and they would be sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
“Inyuĩ andũ a Korazini, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! O na inyuĩ andũ a Bethisaida, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Tondũ korwo ciama iria mwaringĩirwo nĩcio ciaringĩirwo andũ a Turo na Sidoni, mangĩeririre tene mehumbe nguo cia makũnia na mehurĩrie mũhu.
14 That's why in the judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
No andũ a Turo na Sidoni nĩmagakorwo marĩ murũ mũthenya ũcio wa ciira gũkĩra inyuĩ.
15 And you, Capernaum, you won't be exalted to heaven; you will go down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
Na inyuĩ, andũ a Kaperinaumu, mũũĩ atĩ nĩmũgatũũgĩrio nginya matu-inĩ? Aca, mũkaaharũrũkio mũkinye kũrĩa kũriku mũno. (Hadēs g86)
16 Anyone who hears you hears me, and anyone who rejects you rejects me. But anyone who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũmũthikagĩrĩria inyuĩ nĩ niĩ athikagĩrĩria, na ũrĩa ũmũregaga nĩ niĩ aregaga, na ũrĩa ũrĩndegaga nĩ ũrĩa wandũmire arĩĩregaga.”
17 The seventy disciples returned in great excitement, saying, “Lord, even the demons do what we tell them in your name!”
Nao andũ acio mĩrongo mũgwanja na eerĩ magĩcooka makenete, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, o na ndaimono nĩiratwathĩkagĩra thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku.”
18 Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩronire Shaitani akĩgũa kuuma igũrũ ta rũheni.
19 Yes, I have given you power to tread on snakes and scorpions, and to overcome all the enemy's strength, and nothing will harm you.
Inyuĩ nĩndĩmũheete ũhoti wa kũrangĩrĩria nyoka na tũngʼaurũ, na wa gũtooria hinya wothe wa thũ; gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩkamwĩka ũũru.
20 But don't take delight that the spirits do what you tell them—just be glad that your names are written in heaven.”
No rĩrĩ, mũtigakene tondũ ngoma nĩimwathĩkagĩra, no kenagai tondũ marĩĩtwa manyu nĩmandĩkĩtwo kũũrĩa Igũrũ.”
21 At that moment Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you hid these things from the wise and clever people and revealed them to children! Yes, Father, you were pleased to do it in this way.
Na ihinda o rĩu, Jesũ akĩiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno kĩa Roho Mũtheru, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, wee Mwathani wa igũrũ na thĩ, nĩngũkũgaatha tondũ nĩũhithĩte andũ arĩa oogĩ na marĩ na ũmenyo maũndũ maya, no ũkamaguũrĩria tũkenge. Baba, wĩkĩte ũguo tondũ nĩguo wendi waku.
22 My Father has handed over everything to me. No one understands the Son except the Father, and no one understands the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
“Nĩnengeretwo maũndũ mothe nĩ Baba. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ Mũriũ nũũ, tiga Ithe witũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ Ithe witũ nũũ o tiga Mũriũ na arĩa othe Mũriũ endaga kũguũrĩria.”
23 When they were by themselves Jesus turned to the disciples and told them, “Those who see what you're seeing should be really happy!
Agĩcooka akĩhũgũkĩra arutwo ake, akĩmeera marĩ oiki atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo nĩ maitho marĩa marona kĩrĩa mũrona.
24 I tell you, many prophets and kings have wanted to see what you're seeing, but they didn't see, and wanted to hear the things you're hearing, but didn't hear.”
Nĩgũkorwo ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, anabii aingĩ na athamaki nĩmerirĩirie kuona maũndũ marĩa mũrona, no matiamonire na nĩmerirĩire kũigua maũndũ marĩa mũraigua, no matiamaiguire.”
25 Once an expert in religious law stood up and tried to trap Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “What do I have to do to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe mũrutani ũmwe wa watho nĩarũgamire nĩguo agerie Jesũ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, njagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa nĩguo ngaagaya muoyo wa tene na tene?” (aiōnios g166)
26 “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” asked Jesus.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kwandĩkĩtwo atĩa Watho-inĩ? Wee-rĩ, kaĩ ũthomaga atĩa?”
27 “You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and your whole spirit, and your whole strength, and your whole mind; and love your neighbor as yourself,” the man replied.
Mũndũ ũcio akĩmũcookeria, akiuga atĩrĩ, “‘Endaga Mwathani Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na hinya waku wothe, o na meciiria maku mothe’; na ‘Endaga mũndũ wa itũũra rĩanyu o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene.’”
28 “You're right,” Jesus told him. “Do this, and you will live.”
Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wacookia wega; ĩkaga ũguo, na nĩũgatũũra muoyo.”
29 But the man wanted to vindicate himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
No mũndũ ũcio nĩeendaga gwĩtua mwega, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Nake mũndũ wa itũũra nũũ?”
30 Jesus replied, saying, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers who stripped him and beat him, and left him for dead.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ ũmwe waikũrũkaga oimĩte Jerusalemu arorete Jeriko, na akĩnyiitwo nĩ atunyani. Nao makĩmũruta nguo, makĩmũhũũra, magĩcooka magĩthiĩ, makĩmũtiga arĩ hakuhĩ gũkua.
31 It so happened that a priest was going the same way. He saw the man, but he passed by on the other side of the road.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũmwe nĩagereire njĩra ĩyo, na rĩrĩa onire mũndũ ũcio, akĩhĩtũkĩra mũkĩra-inĩ ũrĩa ũngĩ wa njĩra.
32 Then a Levite came along. But when he got to the place and saw the man, he also passed by on the other side.
Ũguo noguo Mũlawii eekire, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire hau, o nake, amuona akĩhĩtũkĩra mũkĩra ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa njĩra.
33 Finally a Samaritan man came along. As he passed by, he saw the man and felt sorry for him.
No rĩrĩ, Mũsamaria ũmwe warĩ rũgendo-inĩ nĩakinyire harĩa mũndũ ũcio aarĩ, amuona akĩmũiguĩra tha.
34 He went over and treated the man's wounds with oil and wine, and bandaged them. Then he placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn where he took care of him.
Agĩthiĩ harĩ we, akĩmuoha ironda, na akĩmũitĩrĩria maguta na ndibei. Agĩcooka akĩmuoya, akĩmũhaicia igũrũ rĩa ndigiri yake, akĩmũtwara nyũmba ya ageni, akĩmũmenyerera.
35 The next day he gave two denarii to the innkeeper and told him, ‘Take care of him, and if you spend more than this, I'll pay you back when I return.’
Kwarooka gũkĩa Mũsamaria ũcio akĩruta dinari igĩrĩ, agĩcinengera mwene nyũmba ĩyo ya ageni, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mũmenyagĩrĩre, na ndacooka nĩngagũcookeria kĩrĩa kĩngĩ ũgaakorwo ũhũthĩrĩte.’
36 Which one of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by robbers?”
“Ũgwĩciiria nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ wa acio atatũ watuĩkire mũndũ wa itũũra harĩ mũndũ ũcio wanyiitĩtwo nĩ atunyani?”
37 “The one who showed him kindness,” the man replied. “Go and do the same,” Jesus told him.
Nake mũrutani ũcio wa watho akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũrĩa wamũiguĩrĩire tha.” Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũgeeke o ta ũguo.”
38 While they were on their way, Jesus arrived at a village, and a woman called Martha invited him to her home.
Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ na arutwo ake marĩ njĩra-inĩ magĩthiĩ, nĩatoonyire gatũũra kamwe kũrĩa aanyiitirwo ũgeni mũciĩ kwa mũtumia wetagwo Maritha.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.
Maritha aarĩ na mwarĩ wa nyina wetagwo Mariamu, nake aikarĩte magũrũ-inĩ ma Mwathani athikĩrĩirie ũrĩa oigaga.
40 Martha was concerned about all that needed to be done to prepare the meal, so she came to Jesus and said, “Master, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!”
Nowe Maritha nĩarĩ na mĩhangʼo nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa mothe magĩrĩire kũhaarĩrio. Agĩũka harĩ Jesũ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, kaĩ ũtarona ũrĩa mwarĩ wa maitũ andekereirie wĩra? Mwĩre oke andeithie!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you're worried and upset about all this.
Nake Mwathani akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maritha, Maritha, nĩũtangĩkĩte, na ũgethĩĩnia na maũndũ maingĩ,
42 But only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the right thing, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
no nĩ harĩ ũndũ ũmwe tu ũbataranĩtie. Mariamu nĩethuurĩire ũndũ ũrĩa mwega makĩria, naguo ũndũ ũcio ndangĩtunywo.”
