Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,
Ni nton Kimayi Hiridus ana chu nda wo ikpye wa ba'tre ni tu Yesu a.
2 and he said to his boys, This is John the immerser. He has risen from the dead, and because of this the powers work in him.
Ahla ni ba gran ma “Iwayi ahi Yohana u tie batisma; a tashme. A to kima mba wa he ni ngbengblen u tie bi ndu bayi.
3 For Herod having arrested John, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
Ana Hiridus yi vu Yohana tro ni tu Hirudiya iwa vayi ma Filibo.
4 For John said to him, It is not permitted for thee to have her.
Niwa ahla niwu “Anabi ndu ban wa tie wame na”
5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the multitude because they held him as a prophet.
Hiridus ana wuu wa a klu sisri ndi wa mba kpawu nyme ndahi anebi.
6 But Herod's birthday being brought, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.
Niwa ivi wa ba ngrji Hiridus a tie a, ivrenwa Hiruduja a to nglu nzan wa abi kpukpome ni Hiridus.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
A hla niwu nda shirji nha tia ndi ani mye wu ko ngyeri, ani nnowu
8 And she, having been put forward by her mother, says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the immerser.
Wa awo ni yima ikpye wa ani myea a tre, “Ne niwa itu Yohana u tie batisma nimi tere”
9 And he became sad, but because of the oaths, and of those dining together, the king commanded it to be given.
Ichu a tie nfu ni mye maa, uni tu wa ana shirji niwu ye nha bi ni indi wa baye rli niwu'a a yo ba ndu ba tie tokima.
10 And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison.
A ton mba ka cu toh Yohana ni mi koh u troa.
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.
Nikiyi, ba nji tohma ye nno vrenwa ni mi tere a wa a kpa nji hi ka nno yima.
12 And after coming, his disciples took up the body and buried it, and having gone, they informed Jesus.
Nikiyi mrli koma baka ye ban ikmo karju bahi ka hla Yesu.
13 Now when Jesus heard it, he departed from there in a boat into a desolate place in private. And when the multitudes heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
Wa Yesu awo towa a wlu niki ndra (tuka) ni ghwu hi wrji ri ni kankle ma. Wa jbu ndi ba ba wo towa baka zren rji ni mi gbu ba ni za huhi.
14 And having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and he felt compassion toward them, and healed the feeble of them.
Nikiyi Yesu aye ni shishi mba nda to jbu ndi mba. Isronma ka tie wie ni ba nda den indi mba bi lilo
15 And having become evening, his disciples came to him, saying, The place is desolate, and the hour is now past. Send the multitudes away, so that having gone into the villages, they may buy food for themselves.
Wa yalu ye tie a mrli koh ma baye niwu nda tre “Bubuyi ahi miji u iton a gbronhiye. Cu ndi mba cuwo ndu bahi ni mrli gbu nda le birli rli”
16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to depart. Give ye them to eat.
U Yesu hla bawu, “Ihi mba megyen na bi na nno ba ikpye wa ba rlia”
17 And they say to him, We have not here, except five loaves and two fishes.
Ba hla niwu,”kie he ni gble bredi ton u lambe harli”
18 But he said, Bring them here to me.
Yesu ka tre, “Nji ba yene”
19 And after commanding the multitudes to sit down on the grass, having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looking up to heaven, he blessed. And having broken them in pieces, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
Nikiyi Yesu a hla ni j'bu ndi ba ndu ba kuson ni tu giga. A vu ngble bredi ton ba u lambe harli ba nji. A nzu ya shulu, nda tie lulu bawu nda nfu bredi ka nno mrli koh ma u ba kpa nno j'bu ndi ba.
20 And they all ate, and were filled. And they took up that which remained of the fragments, twelve baskets full.
Ba ton nda hwrji. U kpunkpu bredi mba lambe wa a don a bavu shu nimi sisen tso.
21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
U biwa ba tan-a, lilon dubu ton mu, imba na mrli bana blayona.
22 And straightaway Jesus compelled the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, until he would dismiss the multitudes.
A tiegbla ndu mrli koh ma rini mi ghwu nda dran ru' hi gran rima guciwu, wawu a krli gbyen j'bu ndi ba nda kaye cu ba cuwo.
23 And having dismissed the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain in private to pray. And having become evening, he was there alone.
Niwa a ndu j'bu ndi ba hia, a hon hi ngblu nda ka tie a duwa. Yalu yetie wa ahe ni nklen ma.
24 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, being buffeted by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
Ni ntonyi ighu'a he ni mi tsutsu maa u dakpyren maa u kiekle nghu nghu ba wru ka'da tie dii u dran wu.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking upon the sea.
Ni bwuh mble (krifi tra u mble), Yesu ka zren ni tu maa siye ni ba.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost, and they cried out from fear.
Wa mrli ko ma to si zren ni tu maa, ba ka tie sisri nda tre “Iwayi hi brji”, nda yragro ni sisri.
27 But straightaway Jesus spoke to them, saying, Cheer up. It is I, fear not.
Yesu ka gble tre ni ba nda hla, “Vu sron! ahi me! Na klu sisri na”.
28 And having answered him, Peter said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the waters.
Bitru a saa niwu nda tre, “Baci ani ta hiwu, yome ndu me ye niwu”
29 And he said, Come. And having come down from the boat, Peter walked upon the water to go to Jesus.
Yesu a tre, “Ye” u Bitru ka rju ni ghua nda zren ni tuma sihi ni Yesu.
30 But seeing the boisterous wind, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
Ni' wa Bitru to sen nghunghua, a tie sisri. Wa a gle sihi ni mi maa, a kpagro nda tre, “Baci kpame cuwo!”
31 And straightaway having stretched forth his hand, Jesus took hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why did thou doubt?
Yesu katie gbla rima wo ma vu Bitru nda hla ni wu, “Iwu u tsitsa suron, ahi ngye yo ni kay'me?”
32 And when they entered into the boat, the wind ceased.
Niwa Yesu mba Bitru ba ri ni mi ghu'a nghunghua kukli nda na la fu na.
33 And those who came in the boat worshiped him, saying, Thou really are the Son of God.
Nikiyi mrli koh ma ni mi ghua baka ku khu niwu nda tre, “Njanjimu u vren Rji”.
34 And when they crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
Wa ba rugran, bahi ni gbu Janisarata.
35 And when they recognized him, the men of that place sent into that whole region round about, and brought to him all those faring badly.
Wa indi bi wrji kima bato Yesu, ba tru cu ma hi ni ba nklan bi bubu ki, nda nji bi lilo bla san ye niwu.
36 And they besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment. And as many as touched were healed.
Ba breu ndi ndu ba' kpre nyu nklon ma, u biwa ba kpreu a ba fe den.
