Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus
Tevaeng tue ah Jesuh kah olthang te khoboei Herod loh a yaak.
2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
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.
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
Herod a loh a maya Philip kah yuu rho Herodias kongah Johan te a tuuk, a khih tih thongim ah a khueh.
4 because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Johan loh anih te, “Herodias namah ham na khueh tueng pawh,” a ti nah.
5 Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
Johan te ngawn a ngaih dae Johan te tonghma la a khueh uh dongah hlangping te a rhih.
6 On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
Tedae Herod kah cunnah a pha vaengah, Herodias canu tah amih lakli ah lam tih Herod te a kohoe.
7 so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
Te dongah huta kah a bih te tah paek ham olhlo neh a phong.
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
Tedae a manu kah caemtuh dongah, “Tuinuem Johan kah a lu te baelpuei dongah kai m'pae,” a ti nah.
9 The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
Manghai loh a kothae dae a olhlo neh, aka ngol rhoek kongah paek hamla ol a paek.
10 and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
Te dongah hlang a tueih tih Johan te thongim khuiah a rhaih.
11 John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
Te phoeiah a lu te baelpuei dongah han khuen tih hula te a paek. Te phoeiah a manu taengla a khuen.
12 Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
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.
13 When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.
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.
14 When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
A caeh vaengah hlangping muep a hmuh hatah amih ham a thinphat tih amih kah tloh te a hoeih sak.
15 When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
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.
16 “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Amih caeh ham a ngoe pawh. Namamih loh amih kah a caak ham te pae uh,” a ti nah.
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
Tedae te rhoek loh, “Vaidam panga neh nga lungnit pawt koinih a tloe ka khueh uh moenih he,” a ti uh.
18 “Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
Tedae, “Te rhoek te kai taengla han khuen uh,” a ti nah.
19 And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
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.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
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.
21 About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
Huta rhoek neh camoe rhoek thui kolla aka ca rhoek he tongpa thawngnga tluk lo uh.
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
Hlangping te phang a tueih hlanah hnukbang rhoek te lawng khuila kun ham tlek a tanolh tih rhalvangan la a lamhma sak.
23 After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
Tedae hlangping te a hlah phoeiah amah bueng thangthui hamla tlang la luei. Hlaem a pha vaengah amah bueng pahoi om.
24 but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
Lawng tah lan lamloh phalong muep a pha coeng. Te vaengah hli oel om tih tuiphu loh a hinghuen.
25 During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
Jesuh tah khoyin bangli ah, tui soah cet tih amih taengla pawk.
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
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.
27 But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Jesuh loh amih te tlek a voek tih, “Na ngaimong sak uh, kai ni, rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
28 “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
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.
29 “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
Te dongah, “Ha lo,” a ti nah. Peter tah lawng khui lamloh rhum tih tui soah a caeh daengah Jesuh taengla a pha.
30 But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
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.
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
Jesuh loh a kut tlek a yueng tih a tuuk phoeiah Peter te, “Uepvawt aw, balae tih na uepvawt?” a ti nah.
32 And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
Lawng dongah amih rhoi a yoeng rhoi vaengah khohli te dip.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
Te vaengah lawng dongkah rhoek loh Jesuh te a bawk uh tih, “Pathen Capa la na om tangtang,” a ti na uh.
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
A hlaikan uh vaengah Gennesaret kho la pawk uh.
35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him
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.
36 and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
Te vaengah a himbai dongkah salaw taek dawk ham te anih a hloep uh. Te dongah aka taek rhoek tah boeih hoeih uh.
