Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Ɛberɛ no mu ara na Herode a na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Galilea no tee Yesu nka.
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
Ɔtee Yesu nka no, deɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ ne sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ obiara sɛ Yohane Osubɔni na wasɔre afiri awufoɔ mu. Yei enti na wanya tumi foforɔ de reyɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ yi.”
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Herode ama wɔakyere Yohane Osubɔni ato afiase, ɛfiri sɛ, na wakasa atia Herodia ne Herode awadeɛ no
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
sɛ, Herode aware ne nua Filipo yere.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Herode pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yohane. Nanso na ɔsuro sɛ, sɛ ɔkum no a, basabasa bɛba ɔman no mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, na nnipa no nyinaa bu Yohane sɛ odiyifoɔ.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Ɛbaa sɛ na Herode redi nʼawoda. Awoda no ase Herodia babaa bɛsa ma ɛyɛɛ Herode fɛ.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
Yei maa Herode kaa ntam, hyɛɛ no bɔ sɛ, ɔmmisa deɛ ɔpɛ biara na ɔde bɛma no.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
Ababaawa yi maame Herodia tuu no fo sɛ, “Mmisa biribiara, gye sɛ Yohane ti a wɔatwa ato prɛte mu.”
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at food, he commanded it to be given her.
Herode tee asɛm yi no, ɛyɛɛ no ya, ma ɛhaa no. Nanso, ɛsiane ntam a waka wɔ nnipa a wɔahyia hɔ no anim no enti, ɔhyɛ ma wɔyɛɛ deɛ ababaawa no hwehwɛ no maa no.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Herode soma ma wɔkɔtwaa Yohane ti wɔ afiase hɔ.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
Wɔde ti a wɔatwa no too prɛte mu de brɛɛ ababaawa no maa ɔde kɔmaa ne maame.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Yohane asuafoɔ no bɛfaa nʼamu no kɔsiee no. Yei akyi, wɔkɔbɔɔ Yohane wuo no ho amaneɛ kyerɛɛ Yesu.
13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
Yesu tee Yohane Osubɔni wuo no, ɔtee ne ho kɔtenaa baabi a obiara nni hɔ. Nnipa tee ne nka maa wɔnam fam firi wɔn nkuro ne wɔn nkuraaseɛ tii no kɔɔ deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ.
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Yesu firii kodoɔ no mu baa deɛ nnipa no wɔ hɔ no. Ɔhunuu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn. Yei ma ɔsaa ayarefoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no yadeɛ.
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.
Anim rebiribiri no, Yesu asuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Adeɛ asa awie. Aduane biara nso nni ha. Ɛha nso mmɛn kuro biara. Enti gya nnipa no kwan, na wɔnkɔhwehwɛ aduane ntɔ nni wɔ nkuro no bi so.”
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give all of you them to eat.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛho nhia sɛ wɔkɔ; momma wɔn aduane nni!”
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
Asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Deɛ yɛwɔ nyinaa yɛ burodo enum ne mpataa mmienu pɛ.”
18 He said, Bring them here to me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa mmrɛ me.”
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 brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm no ma wɔtenatenaa ase wɔ ɛserɛ no so. Ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro bɔɔ mpaeɛ, hyiraa aduane no so. Afei, ɔbubuu mu de maa nʼasuafoɔ no ma wɔkyekyɛ maa nnipadɔm no.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Nnipa no dii aduane no maa obiara meeɛ! Afei, asuafoɔ no boaboaa deɛ wɔdi ma ɛkaeɛ no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛmma dumienu.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Mmarima a wɔdii aduane no dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpemnum a mmaa ne mmɔfra nka ho.
22 And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Nnipadɔm no didi wieeɛ pɛ, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, wɔntena kodoɔ no mu nni ɛkan ntwa nkɔ asuogya nohoa na ɔno deɛ, ɔretena hɔ agya nnipa no kwan.
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.
Ɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan wieeɛ no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔ bi so kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ. Onwunu dwoeɛ no, na aka Yesu nko ara wɔ deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na kodoɔ a na asuafoɔ no te mu no aduru akyiri. Mframa hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ denden maa ɛpo no bɔɔ asorɔkye dweradweraa kodoɔ no a na asuafoɔ no te mu no.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
Anɔpahema bɛyɛ nnɔnnan berɛ mu no, Yesu nam ɛpo no ani baa asuafoɔ no nkyɛn.
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.
Ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no hunuu obi sɛ ɔnam nsuo no ani reba wɔn nkyɛn no wɔsuroeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsusu sɛ wɔahunu ɔsaman. Ɛmaa wɔde ehu teateaam.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Ntɛm ara, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me a. Monnsuro. Momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam!”
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid me come unto you on the water.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, sɛ ɛyɛ wo deɛ a, ka kyerɛ me, na me nso memfa nsuo no ani mmra wo nkyɛn.”
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Bra!” Petro firii kodoɔ no mu sii nsuo no ani, nantee sɛ ɔrekɔ Yesu nkyɛn.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Nanso, ɔhunuu mframa a ɛrebɔ no, ne ho popoeɛ. Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ sɛ ɔremem. Ɔteateaam, frɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, gye me na meremem!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O you of little faith, wherefore did you doubt?
Ɛhɔ ara, Yesu tenee ne nsa twee no. Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Wo a wo gyidie sua, adɛn na wonnye me nnie?”
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Yesu ne Petro kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu no, mframa no gyaee bɔ.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Truthfully you are the Son of God.
Asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ kodoɔ no mu no de ahodwirie bɛkotoo Yesu kaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ba ne wo ampa!”
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Wɔtwaa asuo no baa Genesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
Yesu duruu hɔ no, ankyɛre na nkuro a atwa Genesaret ho ahyia no nyinaa tee ne nka. Wɔde wɔn ayarefoɔ nyinaa brɛɛ no.
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Ayarefoɔ no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmma wɔmfa wɔn nsa nka nʼatadeɛ ano kɛkɛ. Ayarefoɔ dodoɔ a wɔtumi de wɔn nsa kaa nʼatadeɛ ano no ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
