< Matthew 10 >

1 And, calling near his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits, —so as to be casting them out, and curing every disease and every infirmity.
Nake Jesũ nĩetire arutwo ake ikũmi na eerĩ moke harĩ we, nake akĩmahe ũhoti wa kũingata ngoma thũku na kũhonia mĩrimũ yothe na ndwari ciothe.
2 Now, the twelve apostles’ names, are these: —first Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, —and James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma arutwo acio ikũmi na eerĩ: Wa mbere nĩ Simoni (ũrĩa wĩtagwo Petero), na mũrũ wa nyina Anderea; na Jakubu mũrũ wa Zebedi, na mũrũ wa nyina Johana;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew, —Thomas, and Matthew, the tax-collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thadaeus;
na Filipu, na Baritholomayo; na Toma, na Mathayo ũrĩa mwĩtia wa mbeeca cia igooti; na Jakubu mũrũ wa Alifayo, na Thadayo;
4 Simon, the zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up.
na Simoni ũrĩa Mũzelote, na Judasi Mũisikariota, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire.
5 These twelve, Jesus sent forth, charging them, saying: —Into any way to the nations, do not depart, —and, into any city of Samaritans, do not enter;
Aya ikũmi na eerĩ nĩo Jesũ aatũmire na akĩmataara ũũ: “Mũtigathiĩ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ kana mũtoonye itũũra rĩa Asamaria.
6 But be going, rather, unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Nĩ kaba mũthiĩ kũrĩ ngʼondu iria ciũrĩte cia Isiraeli.
7 And, as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near!
Mwathiĩ-rĩ, hunjagiai ndũmĩrĩri ĩno: ‘Ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩũkuhĩrĩirie.’
8 Be curing, the sick, raising, the dead, —cleansing, lepers, casting out, demons: freely, ye have, received, freely, give.
Honagiai andũ arĩa arũaru, na mũriũkagie arĩa akuũ, na mũtheragie arĩa marĩ na mangũ, na mũingatage ndaimono. Mũheetwo tũhũ, heanagai tũhũ.
9 Ye may procure—neither gold, nor silver, nor copper, for your belts, —
Mũtigekuuĩre thahabu, kana betha, kana gĩcango mĩcibi-inĩ yanyu;
10 neither satchel for journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his maintenance.
O na ningĩ mũtigekuuĩre mũhuko rũgendo-inĩ, kana nguo igĩrĩ, kana iraatũ, kana mũtirima; nĩgũkorwo mũruti wa wĩra nĩabataire kũheo gĩa kũmũtũũria muoyo.
11 And, into whatsoever city or village ye enter, search out who in it is, worthy, and, there, abide, till ye go forth.
“Itũũra o rĩothe kana gatũũra karĩa mũngĩtoonya-rĩ, tuĩriai mũmenye mũndũ ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru kuo, mũikare gwake nginya rĩrĩa mũkoima kuo.
12 And, as ye enter the house, salute it;
Mwatoonya mũciĩ ũcio-rĩ, geithagiai ene kuo.
13 And, if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it, but, if it be not worthy, let your peace, unto you, return.
Angĩkorwo mũciĩ ũcio nĩwagĩrĩire-rĩ, ũrathimei na thayũ wanyu; angĩkorwo ndwagĩrĩire-rĩ, rekei kĩrathimo kĩanyu kĩmũcookerere.
14 And, whosoever shall neither welcome you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth outside that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet:
Mũndũ o wothe angĩrega kũmũnyiita ũgeni kana arege gũthikĩrĩria ciugo cianyu-rĩ, mũkiuma mũciĩ ũcio kana itũũra rĩu-rĩ, mũkaaribariba magũrũ manyu nĩguo rũkũngũ rũitĩke.
15 Verily, I say unto you, —More tolerable, will it be, for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for, that, city!
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma ituĩro rĩa itũũra rĩu rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ inene gũkĩra rĩa Sodomu na Gomora mũthenya ũrĩa wa ciira.
16 Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore—prudent, as serpents, and simple, as doves.
Atĩrĩrĩ ndamũtũma o ta ngʼondu gatagatĩ ka njũũi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gĩai na ũũgĩ ta nyoka, na mwage ũũru ta ndutura.
17 But beware of men; for they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you, —
“Mwĩmenyererei andũ; tondũ nĩmakamũneana ciama-inĩ, na mamũhũũre na iboko thunagogi-inĩ ciao.
18 And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake—for a witness to them and the nations.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro wakwa-rĩ, nĩmũgatwarwo mbere ya aathani na athamaki nĩgeetha mũtuĩke aira kũrĩ o na kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.
19 And, when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak, —for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
No rĩrĩa makaamũnyiita-rĩ, mũtikanetange nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mũkoiga kana ũrĩa mũgaacookia. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkeerwo ũrĩa mũkoiga,
20 For it is not, ye, who are speaking, but, the Spirit of your Father, that is speaking in you.
nĩgũkorwo ti inyuĩ mũgaakorwo mũkĩaria, no nĩ Roho wa Ithe wanyu ũkaaria arĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
21 And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child, —and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death.
“Mũndũ nĩagakunyanĩra mũrũ wa nyina ooragwo, na ithe wa mũndũ akunyanĩre mwana wake; ciana nĩikaremera aciari a cio na imoragithie.
22 And ye will be hated by all, because of my name, —but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall be saved.
Andũ othe nĩmakamũmena nĩ ũndũ wakwa, no ũrĩa ũgaakirĩrĩria nginya hĩndĩ ya mũthia nĩakahonoka.
23 And, when they persecute you in this city, flee into another, —for, verily, I say unto you, in nowise shall ye finish the cities of Israel, till, he Son of Man, come.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mwanyariirwo itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe-rĩ, ũrĩrai rĩrĩa rĩngĩ. Ngũmwĩra na ma atĩ, mũtigaakorwo mũthiĩte matũũra mothe ma Isiraeli, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ atookĩte.
24 A, disciple, is not above, the teacher, nor, a servant, above, his lord:
“Mũrutwo ti mũnene kũrĩ mũrutani wake, o na ndungata ti nene kũrĩ mũmĩathi.
25 Sufficient for the disciple, that he become, as his teacher, and, the servant, as, his lord. If, the master of the house, Beelzebul, they called, how much more, the men of his house!
Nĩkũiganĩire mũrutwo aiganane na mũrutani wake, o na ndungata ĩiganane na mũmĩathi. Angĩkorwo mwene nyũmba nĩetĩtwo Beelizebuli-rĩ, githĩ andũ a nyũmba yake matigetwo marĩĩtwa mooru gũkĩra rĩu!
26 Then do not fear them, —for, nothing hath been covered, which shall not be, uncovered, and, hidden, which shall not be, made known.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũtikametigĩre. Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithanie ũtakaguũrio, kana ũndũ mũhithe ũtakamenyeka.
27 What I am saying to you in the darkness, tell ye in the light, —and, what [whispered] into the ear ye are hearing, proclaim ye on the housetops.
Ũrĩa ngũmwĩra nduma-inĩ-rĩ, wariei mũthenya barigici, na ũrĩa warĩtio na mĩheehũ matũ-inĩ manyu-rĩ, wanĩrĩrei mũrĩ nyũmba-igũrũ.
28 And be not in fear, by reason of them that are killing the body, —and, the soul, are not able to kill. But fear, rather, him who is able, both soul and body, to destroy in gehenna! (Geenna g1067)
Mũtigetigĩre arĩa moragaga o mwĩrĩ, no matingĩhota kũũraga ngoro. Nĩ kaba gwĩtigĩra Ũrĩa ũngĩananga ngoro na mwĩrĩ kũu Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not, two sparrows, for a farthing, sold? And, one from among them, shall not fall upon the ground, without your Father;
Githĩ tũnyoni twĩrĩ tũtiendagio thendi ĩmwe? No gũtirĩ o na kamwe gatuo kangĩgũa thĩ Ithe wanyu atetĩkĩrĩte.
30 But, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.
O na njuĩrĩ cianyu cia mũtwe nĩndare.
31 Then be not in fear—than many sparrows, better are, ye!
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigetigĩre; mũrĩ a bata gũkĩra tũnyoni tũingĩ.
32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens;
“Ũrĩa wothe ũkaanyumbũra mbere ya andũ, o na niĩ nĩngamumbũra mbere ya Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ kũu igũrũ.
33 But, whoever shall deny me before men, I also, will deny, him, before my Father who is in the heavens.
No ũrĩa wothe ũkangaana mbere ya andũ, na niĩ nĩngamũkaana mbere ya Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
34 Do not think, that I came to thrust peace upon the earth, —I came not to thrust, peace, but, a sword;
“Mũtigeciirie atĩ njũkĩte kũrehe thayũ gũkũ thĩ. Ndiokire kũrehe thayũ, no ndookire kũrehe rũhiũ rwa njora.
35 For I came to set at variance—a man, against, his father, and, a daughter, against, her mother, and, a bride, against, her mother-in-law;
Nĩgũkorwo njũkĩte gũtũma “‘mũndũ okanĩrĩre na ithe, na mũirĩtu okanĩrĩre na nyina, nake mũtumia okanĩrĩre na nyaciarawe;
36 And, a man foes, are, they of his own house.
thũ cia mũndũ igaakorwo irĩ andũ a nyũmba yake kĩũmbe.’
37 He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me, —and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me;
“Ũrĩa wothe wendete ithe kana nyina kũngĩra ndagĩrĩire gũtuĩka wakwa; na ũrĩa wothe wendete mũriũ kana mwarĩ kũngĩra ndagĩrĩire gũtuĩka wakwa;
38 And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me.
nake ũrĩa wothe ũtagakuua mũtharaba wake wa kwambĩrwo aanũmĩrĩre ndagĩrĩire gũtuĩka wakwa.
39 He that hath found his life, shall lose it, —and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.
Ũrĩa wothe ũgeragia gũtũũria muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo; no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakaũtũũria.
40 He that giveth welcome unto you, unto me, giveth welcome, and, he that, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome—unto him that sent me forth.
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũmwamũkagĩra, nĩ niĩ amũkagĩra. Nake ũrĩa ũnyamũkagĩra, amũkagĩra ũrĩa wandũmire.
41 He that giveth welcome unto a prophet, in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet, shall receive; and, he that giveth welcome unto a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, the reward of a righteous man, shall receive; —
Ũrĩa wothe ũkaamũkĩra mũnabii tondũ nĩ mũnabii, nĩakamũkĩra kĩheo kĩrĩa kĩheagwo mũnabii, nake ũrĩa wothe ũkaamũkĩra mũndũ mũthingu tondũ nĩ mũthingu-rĩ, nĩakamũkĩra kĩheo kĩrĩa kĩheagwo mũndũ mũthingu.
42 And, whosoever shall give to drink—unto one of these little ones—a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, Verily, I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward!
Nake ũrĩa wothe ũheaga ũmwe wa aya anini o na gĩkombe kĩa maaĩ mahehu tondũ nĩ mũrutwo wakwa-rĩ, ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ndakaaga kũheo kĩheo gĩake.”
