Matthai 14
1 Tevaeng tue ah Jesuh kah olthang te khoboei Herod loh a yaak.
And at that time Herod the Tetrarch heard 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 to his servants: This is John the Baptizer: he is risen from the grave: therefore works of power are wrought by him.
3 Herod a loh a maya Philip kah yuu rho Herodias kongah Johan te a tuuk, a khih tih thongim ah a khueh.
Now this Herod had seized John, and bound him and cast him into prison; on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
4 Johan loh anih te, “Herodias namah ham na khueh tueng pawh,” a ti nah.
For John had said to him: It is no lawful for her to be thy wife.
5 Johan te ngawn a ngaih dae Johan te tonghma la a khueh uh dongah hlangping te a rhih.
And he had wished to kill him; but he was afraid of the people, seeing that 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 festival occurred, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests; and she pleased Herod.
7 Te dongah huta kah a bih te tah paek ham olhlo neh a phong.
Therefore he swore to her by an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she might ask.
8 Tedae a manu kah caemtuh dongah, “Tuinuem Johan kah a lu te baelpuei dongah kai m'pae,” a ti nah.
And she, as she had been instructed by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.
9 Manghai loh a kothae dae a olhlo neh, aka ngol rhoek kongah paek hamla ol a paek.
And it troubled the king: nevertheless, on account of the oath, and the guests, he commanded that it should be given her.
10 Te dongah hlang a tueih tih Johan te thongim khuiah a rhaih.
And he sent and cut off the head of 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 the head was brought in a dish and given to the girl; 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 came and bore away the corpse, and buried it; and they went and informed 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, when he had heard it, retired alone, in a ship, to a desert place. And when the multitudes heard of it, they followed him by dry land 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 when Jesus disembarked, he saw great multitudes; 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.
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is gone; send away the throngs of people, that they may go to 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 he said to them: It is not necessary for them to go; 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.
And they said to him: We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes.
18 Tedae, “Te rhoek te kai taengla han khuen uh,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to them: 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.
And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the five cakes and two fishes, and he looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples placed before the multitudes.
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 satisfied: and they took up the broken remains, twelve full baskets.
21 Huta rhoek neh camoe rhoek thui kolla aka ca rhoek he tongpa thawngnga tluk lo uh.
And the men who had eaten were five thousand, besides the 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 constrained his disciples to embark in a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent away 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 when he had sent the multitudes away, he ascended a mountain alone to pray. And when it was dark, he was there alone.
24 Lawng tah lan lamloh phalong muep a pha coeng. Te vaengah hli oel om tih tuiphu loh a hinghuen.
And the ship was distant from land many furlongs: meanwhile it was much tossed by the waves; for the wind was adverse to it.
25 Jesuh tah khoyin bangli ah, tui soah cet tih amih taengla pawk.
And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came up to them, walking upon the waters.
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 his disciples saw him as he walked upon the waters, and they were perturbated: and they said, What we see is a spectre: and they cried out through fear.
27 Jesuh loh amih te tlek a voek tih, “Na ngaimong sak uh, kai ni, rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Have 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.
Cephas replied, and said to him: My Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee 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.
And Jesus said to him, Come. And Cephas descended from the ship, and walked upon the waters to go to 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 wind to be violent, he was afraid, and began to sink. And he raised his voice, and said: My Lord, rescue 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 immediately our Lord reached forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him: O small in faith, why didst thou distrust!
32 Lawng dongah amih rhoi a yoeng rhoi vaengah khohli te dip.
And as they entered the ship, the wind subsided.
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 that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, and said: Truly thou art the Son of God!
34 A hlaikan uh vaengah Gennesaret kho la pawk uh.
And they rowed on, and 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.
And the men of that place knew him: and they sent to all the villages around them; and they brought to him all that were very 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 entreated of him, that they might touch at least the extremity of his garment. And they who touched, were healed.
