Matthai 14
1 Tevaeng tue ah Jesuh kah olthang te khoboei Herod loh a yaak.
In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of 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 he said unto his servants—This, is John the Immerser, —he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within 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, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, —because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;
4 Johan loh anih te, “Herodias namah ham na khueh tueng pawh,” a ti nah.
for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.
5 Johan te ngawn a ngaih dae Johan te tonghma la a khueh uh dongah hlangping te a rhih.
And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.
6 Tedae Herod kah cunnah a pha vaengah, Herodias canu tah amih lakli ah lam tih Herod te a kohoe.
But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod;
7 Te dongah huta kah a bih te tah paek ham olhlo neh a phong.
wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;
8 Tedae a manu kah caemtuh dongah, “Tuinuem Johan kah a lu te baelpuei dongah kai m'pae,” a ti nah.
and, she, being led on by her mother, —Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
9 Manghai loh a kothae dae a olhlo neh, aka ngol rhoek kongah paek hamla ol a paek.
And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;
10 Te dongah hlang a tueih tih Johan te thongim khuiah a rhaih.
and 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 upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, 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.
And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto 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.
And Jesus, hearing it, retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, apart, —and the multitudes, hearing of it, 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, coming forth, he saw a great multitude, —and was moved with compassion over them, and cured 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.
And, evening, arriving, the disciples came unto him, saying—The place is, a desert, and, the hour, hath already passed, —dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away 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 unto them, No need, have they to go away, —give, ye, them to eat.
17 Tedae te rhoek loh, “Vaidam panga neh nga lungnit pawt koinih a tloe ka khueh uh moenih he,” a ti uh.
But, they, say unto him—We have nothing here, save five loaves and two fishes.
18 Tedae, “Te rhoek te kai taengla han khuen uh,” a ti nah.
But, he, said—Bring, them, to me, here.
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.
And, giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass, —taking the five loaves and the two fishes, —looking up into the heaven, he blessed; and, breaking, gave, the disciples, the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude.
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 did all eat, and were filled, —and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full.
21 Huta rhoek neh camoe rhoek thui kolla aka ca rhoek he tongpa thawngnga tluk lo uh.
And, they who did eat, 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 [straightway] constrained he the disciples to enter into a boat, and be going before him unto the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.
23 Tedae hlangping te a hlah phoeiah amah bueng thangthui hamla tlang la luei. Hlaem a pha vaengah amah bueng pahoi om.
And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain, apart, to pray, —and when, evening, came, alone, was he, there.
24 Lawng tah lan lamloh phalong muep a pha coeng. Te vaengah hli oel om tih tuiphu loh a hinghuen.
Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves, —for, the wind, was, contrary.
25 Jesuh tah khoyin bangli ah, tui soah cet tih amih taengla pawk.
And, in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon 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, the disciples, seeing him, upon the lake walking, were troubled, —saying—It is, a ghost; and, by reason of their fear, they cried out.
27 Jesuh loh amih te tlek a voek tih, “Na ngaimong sak uh, kai ni, rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying—Take courage! it is, I,—be not 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.
And, making answer, Peter said unto him, —Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon 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.
And, he, said—Come! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came unto 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, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, 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.
And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him—O little-of-faith! why didst thou doubt?
32 Lawng dongah amih rhoi a yoeng rhoi vaengah khohli te dip.
And, when they came up into the boat, the wind abated.
33 Te vaengah lawng dongkah rhoek loh Jesuh te a bawk uh tih, “Pathen Capa la na om tangtang,” a ti na uh.
And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying—Truly, God’s Son, thou art!
34 A hlaikan uh vaengah Gennesaret kho la pawk uh.
And, going across, they came up the land, into 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.
And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto 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 were beseeching [him], that they might, only, touch the border of his mantle, and, as many as touched, were made quite well.
