Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the Tetrarche heard of the fame of Iesus,
Fia Herod se Yesu ŋkɔ
2 And sayde vnto his seruaunts, This is that Iohn Baptist, hee is risen againe from the deade, and therefore great woorkes are wrought by him.
ale wògblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Edze ƒãa be Yohanes Mawutsidetanamelae gagbɔ agbe, eya ta wòte ŋu le nukunu geɖe siawo wɔm ɖo.”
3 For Herod had taken Iohn, and bounde him, and put him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philips wife.
Azɔ la, Herod na wolé Yohanes, eye woblae de gaxɔ me le Herod, nɔvia Filipo srɔ̃ ta,
4 For Iohn saide vnto him, It is not lawfull for thee to haue her.
elabena Yohanes he nya ɖe Herod ŋu be mele se nu be wòaxɔ nɔvia Filipo srɔ̃ aɖe o.
5 And when hee woulde haue put him to death, hee feared the multitude, because they counted him as a Prophet.
Herod di be yeawu Yohanes, gake enɔ vɔvɔ̃m be ʋunyaʋunya ava dzɔ, elabena amewo katã xɔe se be Yohanes nye nyagblɔɖila.
6 But when Herods birth day was kept, the daughter of Herodias daunced before them, and pleased Herod.
Gbe ɖeka la, Herod nɔ dzigbezã ɖum, eye Herod ƒe vinyɔnuvi va ɖu ɣe le ame kpekpeawo ŋkume. Eƒe ɣeɖuɖu nya kpɔ na Herod ŋutɔ,
7 Wherefore he promised with an othe, that he would giue her whatsoeuer she would aske.
eya ta edo ŋugbe be yeana nu sia nu si nyɔnuvi la abia ye lae.
8 And shee being before instructed of her mother, sayde, Giue mee here Iohn Baptists head in a platter.
Nyɔnuvia bia nu si wòabia la dadaa. Dadaa gblɔ nɛ be nebia Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta. Ale wòva do ɖe fia gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Mele Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe ta dim le agba me.”
9 And the King was sorie: neuerthelesse because of the othe, and them that sate with him at the table, he commanded it to be giuen her,
Nya sia te ɖe fia la dzi ŋutɔ, gake le atam si wòka ta la, medi be yeaɖu ŋukpe le eƒe ame kpekpeawo ŋkume o, ale wòɖe gbe be woatso ta le Yohanes nu akɔ vɛ.
10 And sent, and beheaded Iohn in the prison.
Ale woyi ɖatso ta le Yohanes nu le gaxɔ me,
11 And his head was brought in a platter, and giuen to the maide, and shee brought it vnto her mother.
tsɔ de agba me tsɔ vɛ na nyɔnuvi la, eye wòkɔe yi na dadaa.
12 And his disciples came, and tooke vp the bodie, and buried it, and went, and tolde Iesus.
Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo se nya la, eye woyi ɖaxɔ eƒe kukua ɖaɖi. Emegbe la, woyi ɖaka nya la ta na Yesu.
13 And when Iesus heard it, hee departed thence by shippe into a desert place apart. And when the multitude had heard it, they followed him on foote out of the cities.
Esi Yesu se nya sia la, eya ɖeka ge ɖe ʋu aɖe me dzo le afi ma, eye wòyi ɖaɣla eɖokui ɖe teƒe tsoabo aɖe. Ke ameawo kpɔ afi si wòɖo tae la, eya ta wo dometɔ geɖewo tso kɔƒe vovovowo me to afɔ dze eyome.
14 And Iesus went foorth and sawe a great multitude, and was mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke.
Ale esi wotrɔ va ƒua ta la, ekpɔ be ame gbogbo aɖewo nɔ ye lalam. Woƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, eya ta eda gbe le dɔnɔ siwo le wo dome la ŋu.
15 And when euen was come, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desart place, and the time is alreadie past: let the multitude depart, that they may goe into the townes, and bye them vitailes.
Esi zã nɔ dodom la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va egbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be, “Afi sia la, gbedzie; naneke meli ame naɖu o, evɔ la, fiẽnuɖuɣi va yi xoxo, eya ta ɖe asi le ameha la ŋu ne woayi kɔƒe siwo te ɖe afi sia ŋu la me aɖaƒle nuɖuɖu.”
16 But Iesus saide to them, They haue no neede to goe away: giue yee them to eate.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mehiã be woayi aɖaƒle nuɖuɖu o, miawo midi nuɖuɖu na wo woaɖu!”
17 Then saide they vnto him, Wee haue here but fiue loaues, and two fishes.
Nusrɔ̃lawo do ɣli gblɔ be, “Nu ka, abolo atɔ̃ kple tɔmelã eve pɛ koe le mía si le afi sia!”
18 And he saide, Bring them hither to me.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Mitsɔ wo vɛ.”
19 And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, and tooke the fiue loaues and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen and blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaues to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Azɔ ebia tso ameha la si be woanɔ anyi ɖe gbea dzi. Ale wòtsɔ abolo atɔ̃ kple tɔmelã eve la, eye wòwu mo dzi hedo gbe ɖa ɖe wo dzi. Emegbe la, eŋe wo me tsɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be woama na ameawo.
20 And they did all eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, twelue baskets full.
Ame sia ame ɖu nu ɖi ƒo nyuie, eye esi woƒo nuɖuɖu wuwlui mamlɛawo nu ƒu la, woyɔ kusi wuieve sɔŋ.
21 And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousande men, beside women and litle children.
Ame siwo ɖu nua la ƒe xexlẽme nɔ ŋutsu akpe atɔ̃, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo mele eme o.
22 And straightway Iesus compelled his disciples to enter into a shippe, and to goe ouer before him, while he sent the multitude away.
Le esia megbe la, Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be woage ɖe ʋua me atso ƒu la, ke ye la, yeanɔ anyi ado mɔ ameha la woayi aƒe me.
23 And assoone as hee had sent the multitude away, he went vp into a moutaine alone to pray: and when the euening was come, hee was there alone.
Esi wòdo mɔ ameawo wodzo vɔ la, eya ɖeka yi togbɛawo dzi be yeado gbe ɖa. Enɔ teƒe sia va se ɖe fiẽ me,
24 And the shippe was nowe in the middes of the sea, and was tossed with waues: for it was a contrarie winde.
ke afi si tɔdziʋu la ɖo la didi tso gota gbɔ, eye ƒutsotsoewo nɔ enyamam, elabena ya nɔ ƒoƒom henɔ ʋu la kpem.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Iesus went vnto them, walking on the sea.
Anɔ abe fɔŋli ga ene me lɔƒo ene la, Yesu zɔ ƒua dzi yina wo gbɔ.
26 And when his disciples sawe him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit, and cried out for feare.
Esi nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔe wònɔ ƒua dzi zɔm la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo. Tete wodo ɣli be, “Ŋɔlie.”
27 But straight way Iesus spake vnto them, saying, Be of good comfort, It is I: be not afraide.
Yesu ƒo nu na wo enumake, eye wòde dzi ƒo na wo gblɔ be, “Nyee, migavɔ̃ o; miaƒe dzi nedze eme.”
28 Then Peter answered him, and saide, Master, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water.
Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, nenye wò tututue la, na nye hã mazɔ tsia dzi ava gbɔwò.”
29 And he saide, Come. And when Peter was come downe out of the shippe, he walked on the water, to goe to Iesus.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo, zɔ va.” Ale Petro ɖi ɖe tsia me le ʋua xa, eye wòzɔ tsia dzi ɖo ta Yesu gbɔ.
30 But when he sawe a mightie winde, he was afraide: and as he began to sinke, he cried, saying, Master, saue me.
Ke esi wònye kɔ kpɔ ale si ƒutsotsoeawo nɔ nyanyram la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe, eye wode asi toyiyi me. Ale wòdo ɣli sesĩe be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖem!”
31 So immediatly Iesus stretched foorth his hande, and caught him, and saide to him, O thou of litle faith, wherefore diddest thou doubt?
Yesu do asi ɖa enumake, eye wòhee ɖe go. Azɔ egblɔ nɛ be, “O, wò xɔse ʋɛ tɔ, nu ka ta nèke ɖi mahã?”
32 And assoone as they were come into the ship, the winde ceased.
Esi ame eveawo ge ɖe ʋua me ko la, yaƒoƒo la tɔ zi ɖeka.
33 Then they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, saying, Of a trueth thou art the Sonne of God.
Nusrɔ̃la mamlɛa siwo le tɔdziʋua me la dze klo nɛ hegblɔ nɛ be, “Mawu ƒe Vie nènye vavã!”
34 And when they were come ouer, they came into the land of Gennezaret.
Azɔ wotso ƒu la va do ɖe Genesaretnyigba la dzi.
35 And when the men of that place knewe him, they sent out into all that countrey rounde about, and brought vnto him all that were sicke,
Woƒe vava ɖi hoo le dua katã me. Amewo kpɔ Yesu dze sii, eye wonɔ tsatsam nɔ gbeƒã ɖem be amewo nakplɔ woƒe dɔnɔwo vɛ wòada gbe le wo ŋu.
36 And besought him, that they might touch the hemme of his garment onely: and as many as touched it, were made whole.
Dɔnɔ aɖewo va ɖe kuku na Yesu be yewoaka asi eƒe awu to ko, eye ame siwo katã ka asi eƒe awu to la kpɔ dɔyɔyɔ.
