Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus
Kuchindi echo, Mwami Helodi watamvwa makani atala a Jesu.
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.”
Wakamba kuti kubazike bakwe, “ooyu ngu Joni mubbabbatizyi; wabuka kuzwa kubafu. Nkinkaako nguzu eezi zilikubeleka mulinguwe.”
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
Nkambo Helodi wakali wajata Joni, wamwanga akumubika muntolongo nkambo ka Helodiyasi, mukamwanike wakwe Filipu.
4 because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Nkambo Joni wakambide kuti kulingu, “Tachili mumulawu pe kuti umukwate.”
5 Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
Helodi wakali kukonzya kumujaya pesi wakayoowa bantu, nkambo bakali kumuyeyela kuti musinsiimi.
6 On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
Pesi buzuba bwakuzyalwa kwa Helodi nibwakasika, mwana musimbi wa Helodiyasi wakazyana aakati kabo akubotezya Helodi.
7 so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
Mukusandula wakasyomezya aachikonke chakuti uyomupa kufumbwa nchayokumbila.
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
Musule akulayililwa abanyina, wakamba kuti, “Mundipe aano, mundyido, mutwe wa Joni mu Bbabbatizyi.”
9 The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
Mwami wakawusa kuchikumbizyo chakwe, pesi nkambo kachikonke chakwe alimwi akambo kabaabo mbakali kususula aabo, wakalayilila kuti kuchitwobo.
10 and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
Wakatumina kuyodunsulwa kwamutwe wa Joni muntolongo.
11 John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
Mpawo mutwe wakwe wakaletwa mundyido akupegwa kumwana musimbi oyo wakutola kuli banyina.
12 Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
Mpawo basikwiya bakwe bakasika, babweza mutunta akuyowuzikka. Kwinda kwachechi, bakiinka akuyowambila Jesu.
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.
Lino Jesu nakamvwa eechi, wakazwa mpawo awo, wakunjila mubwato kubusena buli kumbali. Makamu nakamvwa aanchicho, akamutobela amawulu kuzwa kumyunzi.
14 When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Mpawo Jesu wakasika musule lyabo akubona makamu mapati. Wakabaluzyalo kulimbabo eelyo wakaponya bachiswa babo.
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.”
Nilyakaba goko, basikwiya bakasika kulinguwe akwamba kuti, “Oobu busena mbwankanda, alimwi chiindi chamana. Mwayisya makamu kuti bayinke kumyuunzi mpawo bakalyulile chakulya kwabo.”
16 “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
Lino Jesu wakabambila kuti, “Tabelede kumwayika. Amubape chimwi nchibatalye.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
Bakamba kuti kulinguwe, “Aano tuli aazinkwa zili musanu biyo answii zyobile.
18 “Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
Jesu wakati, “Amuzilete kulindime.”
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.
Mpawo Jesu wakalayilila makamu abantu kuti akkale aansi mubwizu. Wakabweza zinkwa zili musanu answi zyobile. Walanga kujulu, wazilongezya akukwamuna zinkwa mpawo wazipa kuli basikwiya, alimwi basikwiiya bakapa makamu.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Boonse bakalya akukkuta. Mpawo bakabwezelela bufwefwelenga bwakachaala bwechakulya - nsangwa zizwide zili kkumi azibili.
21 About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
Aabo bakalya bakali zyuulu zili musanu zyabaalumi, kutaamba abanakazi abaana.
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.
Mpawo mpawo wakachita kuti basikwiya banjile mubwaato akwinka kunembo lyakwe kuli bumwi busena, mbubonya mbwakachili kumwayisya makamu makamu.
23 After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
Nakamana kumwayisya makamu, wakatanta achilundu kuyokoomba. Nilyakaba goko wakali aalikke.
24 but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
Pesi lino bwato bwakali bwabakule aanyika. Kabuchundwa amayuwe, nkambo muuwo wakali kuunga kuubakachizya.
25 During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
Muchiindi chane mansiku Jesu wakabasikila, keenda aatala aalwizi.
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
Basikwiya nibakamubona kayobwenda ataala alwizi, bakakatazika akwamba kuti, “Musangu,” mpawo bakalila chakuyowa.
27 But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Pesi Jesu wakaamba kuli mbabo aawo akuti, “Amube bakozu ndime! Mutayowi.”
28 “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
Pita wakamusandula akwamba kuti, “Mwami, na nduwe, ndilayilile kuti ndize kulinduwe atala amaanzi.”
29 “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
Jesu wakati, “Kweza.” Mpawo Pita wakazwa mubwato akweenda aatala aamanzi kayinka kuli Jesu.
30 But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Pesi Pita nakabona muuwo mupati, wakayoowa. Mbwakatalika kubbila biyo, wakalila akwamba kuti, “Mwami ndifutule.”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
Mpawo mpawo Jesu wakatandabika kuboko kwakwe, wajata Pita, akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “Nusilusyomo luniini, nkambonzi nodoneeka?”
32 And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
Mpawo Jesu aa Pita nibakanjila mubwato, muuwo wakiimikila kuunga.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
Mpawo basikwiiya bakali mubwato bakakomba Jesu akwaamba kuti, “Nkasimpe uli Mwana wa Leza.”
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
Nibakazubuka bakasika kunyika yaku Genesaleti.
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
Bantu bakubusena oobo nibakaziba kuti ngu Jesu, bakatumina makani konse muchisi choonse chizyungulukide, alimwi bakaleta kulinguwe woonse wakali kuchiswa.
36 and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
Bakamukumbila kuti bajate moombe wajansi lyakwe, alimwi biingi bakuujata bakapona.
