Gũkaanio na Kũũmĩrĩrio

112:1 Math 16:6, 11, 12O hĩndĩ ĩyo, rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ ngiri nyingĩ kĩonganĩte hamwe, nginya makarangana-rĩ, Jesũ akĩamba kwarĩria arutwo ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai, na nĩyo ũhinga. 212:2 Mar 4:22Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithanie ũtakaguũrio, o na kana ũndũ mũhithe ũtakamenyeka. 3Maũndũ marĩa mwarĩirie nduma-inĩ, makaiguuo mũthenya barigici, na ũrĩa wothe mwanahehanĩrĩra matũ-inĩ mũrĩ tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ, nĩũkanĩrĩrwo kuuma nyũmba igũrũ.

412:4 Joh 15:14-15“Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ arata akwa, tigagai gwĩtigĩra arĩa mooragaga mwĩrĩ na thuutha ũcio gũtirĩ ũndũ mangĩhota gwĩka. 512:5 Ahib 10:31No nĩ ngũmuonia ũrĩa inyuĩ mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtigĩra: Mwĩtigagĩrei ũrĩa ũngĩũraga mwĩrĩ na thuutha wa ũguo arĩ na ũhoti wa gũikia mũndũ Jehanamu.

8“Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe ũkanyumbũra mbere ya andũ, o nake Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakamumbũra mbere ya araika a Ngai. 9No ũrĩa ũkangaana mbere ya andũ ũcio nĩagakaanwo mbere ya araika a Ngai. 1012:10 Math 12:31, 32; 1Joh 5:16Nake mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũgaacambia Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakarekerwo, no ũrĩa wothe ũkaruma Roho Mũtheru ndakarekerwo.

11“Rĩrĩa mũgaatwarwo mbere ya thunagogi, na mbere ya aathani na anene mũciirithio-rĩ, mũtikanetange na ũrĩa mũgacookia kana ũrĩa mũkoiga, 1212:12 Math 10:20nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho Mũtheru nĩakamũruta ũrĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga.”

Ngerekano ya Gĩtonga Kĩrimũ

13Mũndũ ũmwe warĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ĩra mũrũ wa maitũ tũgayane nake igai riitũ.”

14Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ, nũũ ũnduĩte wa kũmũtuithania ciira kana wa kũmũgayania indo cianyu?” 1512:15 Ayub 20:20; 31:24; Thab 62:10Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei! Mũtigakorokere maũndũ; nĩgũkorwo muoyo wa mũndũ ndũthimagwo na mũigana wa indo iria arĩ nacio.”

16Agĩcooka akĩmahe ũhoro na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũgũnda wa mũndũ ũmwe gĩtonga nĩwaciarire mũno. 17Nake akĩĩyũria na ngoro yake atĩrĩ, ‘Ngwĩka atĩa? Ndirĩ na handũ ha kũiga magetha makwa.’

18“Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndamenya ũrĩa ngwĩka. Ngũtharia makũmbĩ makwa, njake mangĩ manene kũrĩ mo, njige magetha makwa mothe na indo ciakwa ciothe kuo. 19Njooke njĩĩre ngoro yakwa atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na indo nyingĩ njega wĩigĩire cia gũkũigana mĩaka mĩingĩ. Wĩhuurũkĩre, ũrĩe na ũnyue, na ũcanjamũke.” ’

2012:20 Jer 17:11; Ayub 27:8; Thab 39:6“No Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee kĩrimũ gĩkĩ! Ũtukũ ũyũ wa ũmũthĩ nĩũgwĩtio muoyo waku. Indo icio wĩigĩire-rĩ, igaatuĩka cia ũ?’

21“Ũguo nĩguo gũgaatuĩka harĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩigagĩra mĩthithũ, no akaaga gwĩtongia na ũhoro wa Ngai.”

Mũtigatangĩke

22Jesũ agĩcooka akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũtigetangage nĩ ũndũ wa mĩoyo yanyu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mũrĩrĩĩaga, kana kĩrĩa mũrĩhumbaga mĩĩrĩ yanyu. 23Muoyo-rĩ, ũrĩ bata gũkĩra irio, naguo mwĩrĩ ũrĩ bata gũkĩra nguo. 2412:24 Ayub 38:41Ta mwĩciiriei ũhoro wa mahuru: Matihaandaga kana makagetha, o na matirĩ kũndũ gwa kũiga irio kana makũmbĩ, no Ngai nĩamaheaga irio.

No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, o na Solomoni arĩ na riiri wake wothe, ndaagemete ta kĩmwe gĩacio. 2812:28 Math 6:30Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo Ngai ahumbaga nyeki ya gĩthaka, ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ho ũmũthĩ na rũciũ igaikio mwaki-inĩ-rĩ, githĩ inyuĩ ndarĩkĩmũhumbaga makĩria, inyuĩ mwĩtĩkĩtie o hanini! 29Tigagai gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro-inĩ cianyu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mũrĩrĩĩaga kana mũrĩnyuuaga; mũtigatangĩkage nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo. 3012:30 Math 6:8Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ maya mothe nĩmo andũ a gũkũ thĩ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai macaranagia namo, no Ithe wanyu nĩoĩ atĩ nĩmũbatarĩtio nĩmo. 31No rĩrĩ, caragiai ũthamaki wake, na maũndũ maya mangĩ mothe nĩmũrĩheagwo o namo.

35“Ikaragai mwĩhotorete, mwĩhaarĩirie gũtungata, na mũige matawa manyu magĩakanaga, 36o ta andũ metereire mwathi wao acooke kuuma iruga-inĩ rĩa kĩhikanio, nĩguo rĩrĩa agaacooka, aaringaringa mũrango mamũhingũrĩre o narua. 3712:37 Math 24:42, 46; 25:13Nĩũgakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ ndungata iria mwathi wacio agaakora ciĩiguĩte rĩrĩa agacooka.

41Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ ithuĩ ũrahe ũhoro na ngerekano ĩno kana ũreera mũndũ o wothe?”

4212:42 Luk 7:13Nake Mwathani agĩcookia akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ya kwĩhokwo na njũgĩ, o ĩrĩa mwathi wayo angĩĩhokera kũroraga ndungata ciake, na ĩciheage irio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire, nĩĩrĩkũ? 43Nĩũgakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ ndungata ĩyo, ĩrĩa mwathi wayo agooka akore ĩgĩĩka ũguo. 44Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩakamĩĩhokera indo ciake ciothe. 45No rĩrĩ, ĩ ndungata ĩyo ĩngĩĩra na ngoro yayo atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa ndaracooka narua,’ nayo yambĩrĩrie kũhũũra ndungata cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na kũrĩa na kũnyua na kũrĩĩo-rĩ, 46Mwathi wa ndungata ĩyo agooka mũthenya ũrĩa ĩtamwĩrĩgĩrĩire o na ithaa rĩrĩa ĩtooĩ, nake nĩakamĩherithia mũno, na amĩtuĩre ciira ta wa andũ arĩa matarĩ ehokeku.

King James Version

Luke 12:1-59

1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. 11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

13¶ And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

22¶ And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31¶ But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

41¶ Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

49¶ I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

54¶ And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

58¶ When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
