Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus
Lukumbi lwenulo, chilongosi Helodi ayuwini malovi ga Yesu
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.”
Kangi, akavajovela vatumisi vaki, “Mundu mwenuyo ndi Yohani Mbatizaji, ayukili ndi muni makakala gachinamtiti gihenga lihengu mugati yaki.”
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
Muni Helodi ndi mweamkamwili Yohani akamkunga pingu na kumsopa muchifungu, ndava ya Helodiya, mdala wa Filipi, mlongo waki.
4 because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Ndava Yohani amjovili Helodi, “Chabwina lepi veve kumgega Helodiya mdala wa mlongo waku!”
5 Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
Helodi aganili kumkoma Yohani, nambu ayogwipi vandu ndava vandu vammanyili Yohani avi Mlota wa Chapanga.
6 On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
Hinu paligono la mselebuko wa kuvelekewa Helodi, msikana wa Helodiya akinili palongolo ya vayehe na Helodi ahekili neju.
7 so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
Namwene akamjovela kwa chilapu kumpela msikana mwenuyo chindu chochoha cheiyupa.
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
Mwene kuni ikohakewa na nyina waki ndi akayupa, “Unipela mutu wa Yohani Mbatizaji mulupalu.”
9 The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
Nkosi akavya ngolongondi, nambu ndava ya chilapu chaki, na vayehe vala veavagongolili pachakulya, alagizi vampelai.
10 and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
Hinu, Helodi atumili mundu muchifungu amdumula Yohani mutu.
11 John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
Vakavika mutu wa Yohani muchipalu na kumpela msikana yula, namwene akampelekela nyina waki.
12 Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
Vawuliwa va Yohani, vakabwela vakatola higa yaki na kuzika. Kangi vakahamba kumjovela Yesu.
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.
Peamali kuyuwana ago, Yesu akawuka pandu apo na watu, na kuhamba pandu pachiepela, ngamwene. Nambu vandu vakayuwana ndi vakamlanda na magendelu kuhuma kumiji.
14 When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Yesu peahulwiki kubwani, auwene msambi wa vandu, akavahengela lipyana, akavalamisa vatamu voha.
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.”
Payavi kimihi, vawuliwa vaki vakamhambila vakamjovela Yesu, “Pandu apa ndi palugangatu, na lilanga limali kutipama. Hinu uvalaga vandu vahamba muvijiji vakajigulila vyakulya.”
16 “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
Nambu Yesu akavayangula “Viganikiwa lepi kuhamba, mvapela nyenye chakulya.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
Nambu vene vakajova, “Tivii na mabumunda mhanu na somba zivili ndu.”
18 “Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
Yesu akavajovela, “Muniletelai apa.”
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.
Ndi akavajovela vandu vatama mumanyai, na Yesu akatola mabumunda gala mhanu na somba zila zivili, akalolokesa kunani kwa Chapanga, akamsengusa Chapanga. Kangi akagametula mabumunda gala, na kuvapela vawuliwa vaki, navene vakavapela vandu.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Vandu voha vakalya na kuyukuta. Na vawuliwa vaki vakanonga hipandi yeyisigalili, na kumemesa madengu kumi na gavili.
21 About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
Mvalangu wa vandu voha vevalili vavi vagosi elufu mhanu, changavalanga vadala na vana.
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.
Bahapo Yesu akavalagiza vawuliwa vaki vayingila muwatu, vamlongolela kumwambu ya nyanja lukumbi mwene ilagana na msambi wa vandu.
23 After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
Peamali kuvalaga vandu, akakwela kuchitumbi nga mwene kumuyupa Chapanga. Kimihi payahikili Yesu avi mwene ndu penapo,
24 but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
nambu watu wula wamali kuhika pagati ya nyanja, nambu yikakang'wa neju na mtimbunganu wa manji, muni chimbungululu wakang'wayi wiwuya mumbele.
25 During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
Hamba kucha payahegalili, Yesu avahambili vawuliwa vaki igenda kwa magendelu panani ya manji.
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
Nambu vawuliwa vaki pavamuwene igenda panani ya manji vakavagaya neju, vakajova “Lihoka!” Vakaywanga cha wogohi.
27 But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Bahapo Yesu akalongela nawu, “Mguna, ndi nene mkoto kuyogopa!”
28 “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
Petili akajova, “Bambu ngati chakaka ndi wamwene, nijovela nibwela kwaku nigenda panani ya manji.”
29 “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
Yesu akamyangula, “Ena, bwela.” Hinu ndi Petili akahuluka muwatu wula akagenda panani ya manji, akamhambila Yesu.
30 But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Nambu peuweni mpungu wula, akayogopa, akatumbula kujwigama akavemba kwa lwami, “Bambu unisangulayi!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
Penapo, ndi Yesu akatalambula chiwoko chaki na akamkamula akamjovela, “Veve mweusadika padebe! Ndava kyani uvi na mtahu?”
32 And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
Ndi akayingila muwatu, na mpungu ukaguna.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
Voha vevavi muwatu vamfugamili, vakajova, “Chakaka veve ndi Mwana wa Chapanga.”
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
Vakakupuka nyanja vakahika mulima wa ku Genezaleti.
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
Vandu pevammanyili Yesu, vakadandasa malovi pandu pala poha. Kangi vakamletela vatamu voha,
36 and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
vakamuyupa neju avayidakila vapamisa ndu lugunyilu lwa nyula yaki. Na voha vevapamisi valamili.
