Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,
Ɛberɛ no mu ara na Herode a na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Galilea no tee Yesu nka.
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.
Ɔtee Yesu nka no, deɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ ne sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ obiara sɛ Yohane Osubɔni na wasɔre afiri awufoɔ mu. Yei enti na wanya tumi foforɔ de reyɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ yi.”
3 For Herod having arrested John, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Herode ama wɔakyere Yohane Osubɔni ato afiase, ɛfiri sɛ, na wakasa atia Herodia ne Herode awadeɛ no
4 For John said to him, It is not permitted for thee to have her.
sɛ, Herode aware ne nua Filipo yere.
5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the multitude because they held him as a prophet.
Herode pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yohane. Nanso na ɔsuro sɛ, sɛ ɔkum no a, basabasa bɛba ɔman no mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, na nnipa no nyinaa bu Yohane sɛ odiyifoɔ.
6 But Herod's birthday being brought, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.
Ɛbaa sɛ na Herode redi nʼawoda. Awoda no ase Herodia babaa bɛsa ma ɛyɛɛ Herode fɛ.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
Yei maa Herode kaa ntam, hyɛɛ no bɔ sɛ, ɔmmisa deɛ ɔpɛ biara na ɔde bɛma no.
8 And she, having been put forward by her mother, says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the immerser.
Ababaawa yi maame Herodia tuu no fo sɛ, “Mmisa biribiara, gye sɛ Yohane ti a wɔatwa ato prɛte mu.”
9 And he became sad, but because of the oaths, and of those dining together, the king commanded it to be given.
Herode tee asɛm yi no, ɛyɛɛ no ya, ma ɛhaa no. Nanso, ɛsiane ntam a waka wɔ nnipa a wɔahyia hɔ no anim no enti, ɔhyɛ ma wɔyɛɛ deɛ ababaawa no hwehwɛ no maa no.
10 And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison.
Herode soma ma wɔkɔtwaa Yohane ti wɔ afiase hɔ.
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.
Wɔde ti a wɔatwa no too prɛte mu de brɛɛ ababaawa no maa ɔde kɔmaa ne maame.
12 And after coming, his disciples took up the body and buried it, and having gone, they informed Jesus.
Yohane asuafoɔ no bɛfaa nʼamu no kɔsiee no. Yei akyi, wɔkɔbɔɔ Yohane wuo no ho amaneɛ kyerɛɛ 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.
Yesu tee Yohane Osubɔni wuo no, ɔtee ne ho kɔtenaa baabi a obiara nni hɔ. Nnipa tee ne nka maa wɔnam fam firi wɔn nkuro ne wɔn nkuraaseɛ tii no kɔɔ deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ.
14 And having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and he felt compassion toward them, and healed the feeble of them.
Yesu firii kodoɔ no mu baa deɛ nnipa no wɔ hɔ no. Ɔhunuu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn. Yei ma ɔsaa ayarefoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no yadeɛ.
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.
Anim rebiribiri no, Yesu asuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Adeɛ asa awie. Aduane biara nso nni ha. Ɛha nso mmɛn kuro biara. Enti gya nnipa no kwan, na wɔnkɔhwehwɛ aduane ntɔ nni wɔ nkuro no bi so.”
16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to depart. Give ye them to eat.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛho nhia sɛ wɔkɔ; momma wɔn aduane nni!”
17 And they say to him, We have not here, except five loaves and two fishes.
Asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Deɛ yɛwɔ nyinaa yɛ burodo enum ne mpataa mmienu pɛ.”
18 But he said, Bring them here to me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa mmrɛ me.”
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.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm no ma wɔtenatenaa ase wɔ ɛserɛ no so. Ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro bɔɔ mpaeɛ, hyiraa aduane no so. Afei, ɔbubuu mu de maa nʼasuafoɔ no ma wɔkyekyɛ maa nnipadɔm no.
20 And they all ate, and were filled. And they took up that which remained of the fragments, twelve baskets full.
Nnipa no dii aduane no maa obiara meeɛ! Afei, asuafoɔ no boaboaa deɛ wɔdi ma ɛkaeɛ no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛmma dumienu.
21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Mmarima a wɔdii aduane no dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpemnum a mmaa ne mmɔfra nka ho.
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.
Nnipadɔm no didi wieeɛ pɛ, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, wɔntena kodoɔ no mu nni ɛkan ntwa nkɔ asuogya nohoa na ɔno deɛ, ɔretena hɔ agya nnipa no kwan.
23 And having dismissed the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain in private to pray. And having become evening, he was there alone.
Ɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan wieeɛ no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔ bi so kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ. Onwunu dwoeɛ no, na aka Yesu nko ara wɔ deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ.
24 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, being buffeted by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na kodoɔ a na asuafoɔ no te mu no aduru akyiri. Mframa hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ denden maa ɛpo no bɔɔ asorɔkye dweradweraa kodoɔ no a na asuafoɔ no te mu no.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking upon the sea.
Anɔpahema bɛyɛ nnɔnnan berɛ mu no, Yesu nam ɛpo no ani baa asuafoɔ no nkyɛn.
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.
Ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no hunuu obi sɛ ɔnam nsuo no ani reba wɔn nkyɛn no wɔsuroeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsusu sɛ wɔahunu ɔsaman. Ɛmaa wɔde ehu teateaam.
27 But straightaway Jesus spoke to them, saying, Cheer up. It is I, fear not.
Ntɛm ara, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me a. Monnsuro. Momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam!”
28 And having answered him, Peter said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the waters.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, sɛ ɛyɛ wo deɛ a, ka kyerɛ me, na me nso memfa nsuo no ani mmra wo nkyɛn.”
29 And he said, Come. And having come down from the boat, Peter walked upon the water to go to Jesus.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Bra!” Petro firii kodoɔ no mu sii nsuo no ani, nantee sɛ ɔrekɔ Yesu nkyɛn.
30 But seeing the boisterous wind, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
Nanso, ɔhunuu mframa a ɛrebɔ no, ne ho popoeɛ. Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ sɛ ɔremem. Ɔteateaam, frɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, gye me na meremem!”
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?
Ɛhɔ ara, Yesu tenee ne nsa twee no. Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Wo a wo gyidie sua, adɛn na wonnye me nnie?”
32 And when they entered into the boat, the wind ceased.
Yesu ne Petro kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu no, mframa no gyaee bɔ.
33 And those who came in the boat worshiped him, saying, Thou really are the Son of God.
Asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ kodoɔ no mu no de ahodwirie bɛkotoo Yesu kaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ba ne wo ampa!”
34 And when they crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
Wɔtwaa asuo no baa Genesaret.
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.
Yesu duruu hɔ no, ankyɛre na nkuro a atwa Genesaret ho ahyia no nyinaa tee ne nka. Wɔde wɔn ayarefoɔ nyinaa brɛɛ no.
36 And they besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment. And as many as touched were healed.
Ayarefoɔ no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmma wɔmfa wɔn nsa nka nʼatadeɛ ano kɛkɛ. Ayarefoɔ dodoɔ a wɔtumi de wɔn nsa kaa nʼatadeɛ ano no ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
