Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus
Pacindi copeleco, mwami Helode waku Galileya walanyumfwa bintu byalikwamba bantu mbyalikwinsa 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.”
Walambila bantu bakendi bamakulene, “Uyu ingakali Yohane Mubatishi usa elapunduku kubafu! Ecebo cakendi ncalenshilinga bishikunkamanisha bilicisa.”
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
Pakwinga Helode ewalatuma bashilikali kuyakwikata Yohane, ne kumubika mujele. Walenseco pacebo ca Helodiya, walikuba mukashi wa Filipo, mukwabo Helode.
4 because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Pakwinga Yohane walamwambila Helode kwambeti, “Mulawo nkawasuminisha amwe kumweba uyu mutukashi,”
5 Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
Ncalikuyanda Helode nikushina Yohane, nsombi walikutina bantu, pakwinga bantu balikwambeti Yohane nimushinshimi.
6 On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
Mpobwalashika busuba bwa kwanuka kusemwa kwa Helode, mwana mutukashi wa Helodiya walashana pamenso pa bantu bonse balakwiwa ku malyalya awo, Helode walakondwa,
7 so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
cakwinseti walensa kulumbileti, “Cakubinga nditu ninkupe ciliconse ncoti usenge.”
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
Lino banyina balamwambila cintu ncoti engakusenga. Mwana mutukashi usa walambeti, “Kamumpani mumbale popelepano mutwi wa Yohane mubatishi.”
9 The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
Mwami Helode walanyumfwa nsoni, nomba pacebo ca kulumbila kusa, kayi ne bantu basa mbwalakuwa kumalyalya asa, walambeti, “Mwana mutukashuyu apewe mutwi ngwalasenge.”
10 and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
Popelapo walatuma muntu kuya kumutimbula mutwi Yohane mujele.
11 John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
Walaumantila mumbale mutwi ne kutwala kumwana mutukashi, nendi walautwala ku banyina.
12 Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya bakendi Yohane balesa kumanta citumbi ne kuyakubika mumanda, kufumapo balayakumwambila 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.
Yesu mpwalanyumfweco walatanta bwato ne kufumako, ne kuya kumusena kwabula bantu. Nomba bantu mpobalanyumfweti Yesu lafumuko balamukonkela ne myendo kufuma muminshi yabo.
14 When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Yesu mpwalabona likoto lyabantu, walaseluka mubwato, walabanyumfwila nkumbo, kayi walatatika kusengula balwashi.
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.”
Beshikwiya bakendi pacindi camansailo, Yesu balamwambileti, “Kuno nikucisuwa, ano nimansailo kamubambilani bantu aba benga kuminshi bengakula byakulya.”
16 “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
Nomba nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Nkabelela kuya kumbi, amwe nimubape cakulya.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
Balo balambeti, “Tukutekowa shinkwa usanu, ne nswi shibili.”
18 “Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
Yesu walambeti, “kamuletani kuno.”
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.
Mpobalamutwalila, Yesu walambila bantu baseti bekale panshi pa mila, Yesu walamanta shinkwa usanu ne nswi shibili, walalungumana kulanga kwilu, ne kulumba Lesa, panyuma pakendi walakomona komona shinkwa usa ne kupa beshikwiya bakendi, nabo balayabila bantu bonse.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Bantu bonse balalya ne kwikuta. Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya balayowela byalashala ne kwisusha mitanga likumi ne ibili.
21 About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
Bantu bonse balikubapo balalya, balikuba batuloba myanda makumi asanu kutabelengela kumo batukashi ne bana.
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.
Pacindi copeleco, Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi kwambeti batante bwato batangune kuya kutala, nendi walashalila kunyuma kacambila bantu eti benga kwabo.
23 After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
Mpwalalayana ne bantu basa, Yesu walatanta mumulundu kuyakupaila enka, palatatika kushipuluka kacili kopeloko enka.
24 but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
Pacindici bwato busa bwalikuba pakati pa lwenje, patali ne kumutunta, kabapenga kukwasula cebo camankape, pakwinga balikabalwana ne lukupwe lunene.
25 During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
Cindi cakumaca kakutubuluka Yesu walesa nkobalikuba kesakwenda pa menshi.
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
Beshikwiya bakendi mpobalamubona kenda pamenshi, balatina, balambeti, “Nicipuku!” Balatatika kutamauka cebo ca buyowa.
27 But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Yesu pacindi copeleco walabambileti, “Kamwikalikani cali! Njame, kamutatina sobwe!”
28 “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
Nendi Petulo walambeti, “Nkambo, na njamwe kamunsuminisha ne njame njise uko pamenshi,”
29 “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
Nendi Yesu walambeti, “Kwesa!” Petulo nendi walafuma mubwato, ne kutatika kwenda pamenshi kuya kuli Yesu.
30 But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Mpwalabona kukonempa kwalukupwe walaba ne buyowa, walatatika kwibila, walatatika kubilikisheti, “Nkambo, kamumpulushako!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
Yesu popelapo walatandabula cikasa ne kumwikata, ne kwambeti, “Obe okute lushomo lung'ana ulatonshanini cani?”
32 And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
Panyuma pakendi bonse babili balaya kwingila mubwato busa ne lukupwe lwalacileka.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
Beshikwiya basa balikuba mu bwato balamukambilila Yesu ne kwambeti, “Cakubinga njamwe Mwanendi Lesa.”
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
Lino bonse balatampuka lwenje ne kushika ku 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 bakucishico balamwishiba Yesu, balaya kwishibisha banabo mucibela conse, neco balaleta balwashi bonse kuli Yesu.
36 and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
Balamusengeti abasuminishe balwashi bekatekowa mwinjila wakendi, cakubinga bonse balekatako balikusengulwa.
