Matthai 14
1 Tevaeng tue ah Jesuh kah olthang te khoboei Herod loh a yaak.
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
2 Te dongah a taengom rhoek taengah, “Anih te tuinuem Johan coeng ni. Anih ni duek lamloh aka thoo coeng. Te dongah ni thaomnah loh anih pum dongah a tueng coeng,” a ti nah.
and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."
3 Herod a loh a maya Philip kah yuu rho Herodias kongah Johan te a tuuk, a khih tih thongim ah a khueh.
For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 Johan loh anih te, “Herodias namah ham na khueh tueng pawh,” a ti nah.
For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
5 Johan te ngawn a ngaih dae Johan te tonghma la a khueh uh dongah hlangping te a rhih.
And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd because they regarded him as a prophet.
6 Tedae Herod kah cunnah a pha vaengah, Herodias canu tah amih lakli ah lam tih Herod te a kohoe.
But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
7 Te dongah huta kah a bih te tah paek ham olhlo neh a phong.
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Tedae a manu kah caemtuh dongah, “Tuinuem Johan kah a lu te baelpuei dongah kai m'pae,” a ti nah.
And she, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
9 Manghai loh a kothae dae a olhlo neh, aka ngol rhoek kongah paek hamla ol a paek.
And the king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
10 Te dongah hlang a tueih tih Johan te thongim khuiah a rhaih.
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Te phoeiah a lu te baelpuei dongah han khuen tih hula te a paek. Te phoeiah a manu taengla a khuen.
And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the young woman: and she brought it to her mother.
12 Te phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh tih rhok te a khuen uh. A up uh phoeiah tah Jesuh taengla pawk uh tih puen uh.
Then his disciples came, and took the dead body, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
13 Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah, te lamloh amah bueng khosoek hmuen la lawng neh cet. Tedae hlangping loh a yaak vaengah khopuei tom lamloh kho neh a vai uh.
Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 A caeh vaengah hlangping muep a hmuh hatah amih ham a thinphat tih amih kah tloh te a hoeih sak.
And he went out, and he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
15 Hlaem a pha vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh a taengla a paan uh tih, “He hmuen he khosoek la om tih a tue khaw khum coeng. Hlangping rhoek he ka tueih uh mai eh, te daengah ni kho khuila cet uh vetih amamih ham caak a lai uh eh,” a ti nah.
Now when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, "This place is desolate, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
16 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Amih caeh ham a ngoe pawh. Namamih loh amih kah a caak ham te pae uh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
17 Tedae te rhoek loh, “Vaidam panga neh nga lungnit pawt koinih a tloe ka khueh uh moenih he,” a ti uh.
And they told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."
18 Tedae, “Te rhoek te kai taengla han khuen uh,” a ti nah.
So he said, "Bring them here to me."
19 Te phoeiah hlangping rhoek te khopol dongah ngolhlung ham ol a paek. Vaidam panga neh nga panit te a loh. Vaan la oeloe tih a uem phoeiah vaidam te a aeh tih hnukbang rhoek a paek. Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek loh hlangping te a paek.
Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the crowds.
20 Hlang boeih loh a caak uh tih hah uh. Te phoeiah a coih, a nuei a pil te voh hlainit dongah a bae la a phueih uh.
And they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Huta rhoek neh camoe rhoek thui kolla aka ca rhoek he tongpa thawngnga tluk lo uh.
Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Hlangping te phang a tueih hlanah hnukbang rhoek te lawng khuila kun ham tlek a tanolh tih rhalvangan la a lamhma sak.
And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away.
23 Tedae hlangping te a hlah phoeiah amah bueng thangthui hamla tlang la luei. Hlaem a pha vaengah amah bueng pahoi om.
And after he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24 Lawng tah lan lamloh phalong muep a pha coeng. Te vaengah hli oel om tih tuiphu loh a hinghuen.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, battered by the waves, for the wind was against it.
25 Jesuh tah khoyin bangli ah, tui soah cet tih amih taengla pawk.
And in the watch between three and six in the morning, he came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Amah tuili soah a caeh te a hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah thuen uh tih, “Mueihla ni,” a ti uh tih rhihnah neh pang uh.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost." and they screamed with fear.
27 Jesuh loh amih te tlek a voek tih, “Na ngaimong sak uh, kai ni, rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
28 Peter loh a doo tih, “Boeipa nang na om atah, nang taengla tui so longah ka pawk na ham kai he ol m'pae lah,” a ti nah.
Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."
29 Te dongah, “Ha lo,” a ti nah. Peter tah lawng khui lamloh rhum tih tui soah a caeh daengah Jesuh taengla a pha.
He said, "Come." Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the water and went toward Jesus.
30 Tedae khohli a tloh te a hmuh vaengah a rhih tih dalh buek. Te vaengah pang tih, “Boeipa kai n'khang lah,” a ti nah.
But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he yelled, saying, "Lord, save me."
31 Jesuh loh a kut tlek a yueng tih a tuuk phoeiah Peter te, “Uepvawt aw, balae tih na uepvawt?” a ti nah.
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
32 Lawng dongah amih rhoi a yoeng rhoi vaengah khohli te dip.
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Te vaengah lawng dongkah rhoek loh Jesuh te a bawk uh tih, “Pathen Capa la na om tangtang,” a ti na uh.
Those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God."
34 A hlaikan uh vaengah Gennesaret kho la pawk uh.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Te hmuen kah hlang rhoek loh amah te a hmat uh dongah te rhoek pingpang tom ah a tueih uh. Te dongah tloh aka kaem boeih te anih taengla a khuen uh.
When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,
36 Te vaengah a himbai dongkah salaw taek dawk ham te anih a hloep uh. Te dongah aka taek rhoek tah boeih hoeih uh.
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were healed.
