Mateyu 14
1 Pa nthawi imeneyo Mfumu Herode anamva za mbiri ya Yesu.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
2 Ndipo iye anati kwa antchito ake, “Uyu ndi Yohane Mʼbatizi; iye wauka kwa akufa! Ichi ndi chifukwa chake mphamvu zodabwitsa zikugwira ntchito mwa iye.”
and said to his servants, “This man is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and that is why these mighty powers are at work in him.”
3 Pakuti Herode anamugwira Yohane ndi kumumanga ndipo anamuyika mʼndende chifukwa cha Herodia mkazi wa mʼbale wake Filipo.
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 Chifukwa Yohane anakhala akunena kwa iye kuti, “Sichololedwa kwa inu kutenga mkaziyo.”
For John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for yoʋ to have her.”
5 Herode anafuna kupha Yohane koma iye anaopa anthu chifukwa anamuyesa iye mneneri.
Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.
6 Pa tsiku lokumbukira kubadwa kwa Herode, mwana wamkazi wa Herodia anavina pamaso pa anthu ndipo anasangalatsa kwambiri.
But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests and pleased Herod.
7 Kotero Herode analonjeza ndi lumbiro kumupatsa chilichonse chimene mwanayo angamupemphe.
So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8 Ndipo atamupangira amayi ake anati, “Mundipatse pomwe pano mutu wa Yohane Mʼbatizi mʼmbale.”
Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
9 Mfumuyo inamva chisoni koma chifukwa cha lumbiro lake ndi alendo amene anali pa phwando lake analamulira kuti chofuna chake chipatsidwe;
The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he commanded it to be given
10 ndipo anakadula mutu wa Yohane mʼndende.
and sent orders to have John beheaded in prison.
11 Mutu wake anawubweretsa mʼmbale ndi kumupatsa mtsikanayo amene anawutengera kwa amayi ake.
John's head was then brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12 Ophunzira a Yohane anabwera nadzatenga mtembo wake ndi kukawuyika mʼmanda. Pomwepo iwo anapita kukamuwuza Yesu.
Later, John's disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and brought word to Jesus.
13 Yesu atamva zimene zinachitika, anachoka pa bwato mwachinsinsi kupita kumalo a yekha. Magulu a anthu atamva izi anamutsatira Iye poyenda pansi kuchokera ku mizinda.
When Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But the crowds heard about it and followed him on foot from the towns.
14 Yesu atafika ku mtunda, ndi kuona gulu lalikulu la anthu, Iye anamva nawo chifundo ndipo anachiritsa odwala awo.
And when Jesus went ashore and saw a large crowd, he was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick.
15 Kutayamba mdima, ophunzira anabwera kwa Iye nati, “Kuno ndi kutchire ndipo kwayamba kale kuda. Awuzeni anthu azipita kuti afike ku midzi ndi kukadzigulira zakudya.”
As evening approached, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is desolate, and the hour is now late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Yesu anawayankha kuti, “Sikofunika kuti azipita. Inuyo muwapatse kanthu kuti adye.”
But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away; you give them something to eat.”
17 Iwo anayankha kuti, “Tili ndi malofu asanu okha a buledi ndi nsomba ziwiri.”
They said to him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 Koma Iye anati, “Bweretsani kwa Ine.”
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Analamula anthu kuti akhale pansi pa udzu ndipo anatenga buledi musanu ndi nsomba ziwiri nayangʼana kumwamba, nayamika nagawa bulediyo. Kenaka anapereka bulediyo kwa ophunzira ake ndipo ophunzirawo anagawira anthu.
Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said the blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
20 Onse anadya nakhuta ndipo ophunzira anatola zotsalira ndi kudzaza madengu khumi ndi awiri.
They all ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21 Chiwerengero cha amene anadya kupatulako amayi ndi ana chinali pafupifupi amuna 5,000.
Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Nthawi yomweyo anawawuza ophunzira ake kuti alowe mʼbwato ndi kuti atsogole kupita kutsidya lina pamene Iye ankawuza anthu kuti azipita kwawo.
Immediately Jesus compelled the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side of the sea, while he sent the crowds away.
23 Atatha kuwawuza kuti azipita kwawo, Iye anakwera ku phiri yekha kukapemphera. Pamene kumada anali kumeneko yekha.
After sending the crowds away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
24 Pamenepo nʼkuti bwato litapita patali pangʼono kuchokera ku mtunda ndipo linavutika ndi mafunde chifukwa mphepo inkawomba mokumana nalo.
Meanwhile, the boat was already in the middle of the sea, being tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 Pa ora lachinayi usiku, Yesu anabwera kwa iwo akuyendabe pa nyanja.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 Ophunzira atamuona akuyenda pa nyanja, anaopa nati, “Ndi mzukwa!” Ndipo analira chifukwa cha mantha.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.
27 Koma Yesu nthawi yomweyo anawawuza kuti, “Limbani mtima! Ndine, musaope.”
But Jesus immediately said to them, “Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.”
28 Petro anayankha nati, “Ambuye ngati ndinu, mundiwuze ndibwere kuli inuko pa madzipo.”
In response Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is yoʋ, command me to come to yoʋ on the water.”
29 Iye anati, “Bwera.” Pamenepo Petro anatuluka mʼbwato ndipo anayenda pa madzi kupita kwa Yesu.
So he said, “Come.” Then Peter got down from the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 Koma ataona mphepo, iye anachita mantha ndipo anayamba kumira, nafuwula nati, “Ambuye ndipulumutseni!”
But when he saw the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Ndipo mofulumira Yesu anatambasula dzanja lake namugwira iye, nati, “Iwe wachikhulupiriro chochepa, bwanji unakayika?”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “O yoʋ of little faith, why did yoʋ doubt?”
32 Ndipo atalowa mʼbwato mphepo inaleka.
And when they had gotten into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Pamenepo amene anali mʼbwato anamulambira Iye, nati, “Zoonadi, Inu ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu.”
Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “Truly yoʋ are the Son of God.”
34 Atawoloka, anafika ku Genesareti.
When they had crossed the sea, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Anthu akumeneko atamuzindikira Yesu, iwo anatumiza mawu kwa onse ozungulira deralo. Anthu anabwera ndi odwala awo onse kwa Iye.
And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word into the entire surrounding region, and people brought to him all who were sick.
36 Ndipo anamupempha alole kuti akhudze mphonje ya mkanjo wake, ndipo onse amene anamukhudza anachiritsidwa.
They begged him to let the sick touch even the fringe of his garment, and all who touched it were completely healed.
