Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Nʼoge a Herọd eze na-achị Galili nụrụ ihe banyere Jisọs.
2 And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
Ọ gwara ndị na-ejere ya ozi okwu sị ha, “Onye a bụkwanụ Jọn omee baptizim. O sitela na ndị nwụrụ anwụ bilie dịkwa ndụ ọzọ. Ọ bụ ya mere ike ịrụ ọrụ ebube ndị a ji dị nʼime ya.”
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
Nʼihi na, Herọd jidere Jọn kee ya agbụ tinye ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, nʼihi Herodịas nwunye Filip nwanne ya nwoke.
4 For John said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
Nʼihi na Jọn gwara ya, “Ọ bụghị ihe ziri ezi nʼiwu ka ị kpọrọ ya.”
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Herọd chọrọrị igbu ya, ma ọ tụrụ egwu ndị mmadụ, nʼihi na ha weere Jọn dị ka onye amụma.
6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Ma mgbe a na-eme mmemme icheta ọmụmụ Herọd, ada Herodịas tere egwu nʼihu Herọd, na nʼihu ndị ọbịa bịara nʼụbọchị ahụ. Obi tọrọ Herọd ụtọ nke ukwuu.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
Nke a mere o ji ṅụọ iyi kwee nkwa inye ya ihe ọbụla ọ rịọrọ.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
Ma dị ka nne ya si haziere ya, ọ rịọrọ eze Herọd sị, “Nye m isi Jọn omee baptizim nʼefere ugbu a.”
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
Arịrịọ a wutere eze Herọd, ma nʼihi iyi ọ ṅụrụ na nʼihi ndị ọbịa ya niile, ọ chọghị ịla azụ nʼokwu ya. O nyere iwu ka e meere ya ihe ọ chọrọ.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
O ziri ozi ka e bipụ isi Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
E tinyere isi ya nʼefere bunye nwaagbọghọ ahụ. Ọ naara ya bulaara nne ya.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịara buru ozu ya gaa lie. Ha gara kọọrọ Jisọs ihe mere.
13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed there by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ akụkọ a, ọ banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri gaa nʼọzara, ebe ọ ga-anọdụrụ onwe ya. Ma mgbe igwe mmadụ nụrụ ya, ha si obodo dị iche iche sooro ya nʼukwu ala.
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Mgbe o sitere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ rịdata, ọ hụrụ oke igwe mmadụ. O nwere ọmịiko nʼebe ha nọ, gwọọ ndị ọrịa nʼetiti ha.
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
Nʼoge anyasị ụbọchị ahụ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Chi na-achọ iji. Ebe a abụkwaghị ebe ndị mmadụ bi. O nweghị nri a ga-azụta nʼọzara a. Zilaga igwe mmadụ ndị a ka ha gaa nʼime obodo zụọra onwe ha nri.”
16 But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give you them to eat.
Ma Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Ọ dịghị mkpa na ha ga-ala. Nyenụ ha nri ka ha rie.”
17 And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
Ha zara ya sị, “Ọ bụ naanị ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ ka anyị nwere.”
18 He said, Bring them here to me.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Wetaranụ m ha nʼebe a.”
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha nọdụ ala nʼahịhịa. O weere ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ ahụ welie anya ya elu nye Chineke ekele. Ọ nyawara achịcha ahụ, nye ha ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nyere ha igwe mmadụ ahụ.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Onye ọbụla riri rijuo afọ. Emesịa, ndị na-eso ụzọ Jisọs tụtụkọtara iberibe achịcha dara nʼala tụtụjuo ha nkata iri na abụọ.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Ma ndị riri nri ahụ dị puku ụmụ nwoke ise, nʼagụnyeghị ụmụ nwanyị, na ụmụntakịrị.
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha banye nʼụgbọ malite ịgafe ofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ. Ma ya onwe ya nọdụrụ maka izilaga ndị mmadụ ahụ.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
Mgbe ọ zilagasịrị igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu ikpe ekpere, naanị ya. Mgbe oge anyasị ruru, naanị ya nọkwa na-ebe ahụ.
24 But the ship was now in the middle of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
Ma nʼoge a ụgbọ mmiri ahụ esitela nʼebe ala dị nso gamie nʼelu osimiri, ebili mmiri na-ebugharịkwa ya, nʼihi na ifufe ahụ na-emegide ya.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
Ma ihe dị ka site nʼelekere atọ ruo elekere isii nke ụtụtụ, Jisọs bịakwutere ha, na-aga ije nʼelu osimiri.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
Mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụrụ ya ka ọ na-aga ije nʼelu osimiri ahụ, obi lọrọ ha mmiri, ha sị, “Ọ bụkwanụ mmụọ o!” Ha tiri mkpu nʼihi egwu.
27 But straightway Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Ma ngwangwa Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nweenụ obi ike! O bụ m; unu atụla egwu.”
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid me come to you on the water.
Pita zara ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ gị, sị m bịakwute gị nʼelu mmiri.”
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Ọ sịrị ya, “Bịa!” Pita sitere nʼụgbọ ahụ pụta, bido ịga ije nʼelu mmiri ijekwuru Jisọs.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Ma mgbe ọ hụrụ oke ebili mmiri ahụ ka ọ na-amagharị; egwu tụrụ ya. Ma mgbe ọ malitere imikpu nʼime mmiri ahụ, o tiri mkpu sị, “Onyenwe m! Zọpụta m!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
Na-atụfughị oge, Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya dọpụta Pita. Ọ sịrị ya, “Gị onye okwukwe nta, nʼihi gịnị ka i ji nwee obi abụọ!”
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Ma mgbe ha rịbanyere nʼime ụgbọ ahụ ifufe ahụ kwụsịkwara.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth you are the Son of God.
Ndị ahụ nọ nʼụgbọ ahụ kpọrọ isiala nye ya sị, “Nʼezie, ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke.”
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Mgbe ha gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ, ha bịarutere nʼala Genesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought to him all that were diseased;
Mgbe ndị obodo ahụ matara na ọ bụ ya, ha zisara ozi gburugburu obodo niile ahụ, ma dutere ya ndị niile ahụ na-adịghị ike.
36 And sought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Ha rịọrọ ya ka o kwenye ka ha metụ ọ bụladị ọnụ uwe ya aka. Ndị niile metụrụ ya aka ka a gwọrọ.
