Matthew 14
1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch, hearing of the fame of Jesus,
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo, Mũthamaki Herode nĩaiguire ngumo ya Jesũ,
2 said to his servants, This is John the Immerser; he is raised from the dead and therefore miracles are performed by him.
nake akĩĩra arĩa maamũtungataga atĩrĩ, “Ũcio nĩ Johana Mũbatithania; nĩ ariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ! Nĩkĩo arĩ na hinya mũnene ũguo wa kũringa ciama.”
3 For Herod had caused John to be apprehended, imprisoned, and bound, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;
Na rĩrĩ, Herode nĩanyiitĩte Johana akamuoha, na akamũikia njeera nĩ ũndũ wa Herodia, ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina Filipu,
4 for John had said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
tondũ Johana nĩamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ: “Watho ndũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie ũmũhikie.”
5 And Herod would have put him to death, but was afraid of the populace, who accounted him a prophet.
Herode nĩendaga kũũraga Johana, no nĩetigagĩra andũ, tondũ nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company, and pleased Herod,
Mũthenya wa gũkũngũĩra gũciarwo kwa Herode-rĩ, mwarĩ wa Herodia nĩainĩire andũ, na agĩkenia Herode mũno.
7 wherefore he swore he would grant her whatever she would ask.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herode akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩekũmũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe angĩendire.
8 She being instigated by her mother, said, Give me here, in a basin, the head of John the Immerser.
Nake mũirĩtu ũcio aarĩkia gũtaarwo nĩ nyina, akiuga atĩrĩ, “He mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania o rĩu ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa kiuga.”
9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless, from a regard to his oath and his guests, he commanded that it should be given her.
Mũthamaki nĩataangĩkire mũno, no nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩhĩtwa wake, na ageni arĩa maarĩ iruga-inĩ rĩake-rĩ, agĩathana atĩ mũirĩtu ũcio aheo kĩrĩa eetĩtie.
10 Accordingly John was beheaded in the prison by his order.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũmana kũu njeera na Johana akĩrengwo mũtwe.
11 And his head was brought in a basin, and presented to the young woman; and she carried it to her mother.
Naguo mũtwe ũcio wake ũkĩrehwo na kiuga, ũkĩnengerwo mũirĩtu ũcio, nake akĩũtwarĩra nyina.
12 After which, his disciples went and brought the body, and having buried it, came and told Jesus.
Nao arutwo a Johana magĩthiĩ makĩoya kĩimba gĩake, magĩgĩthika, magĩcooka magĩthiĩ makĩĩra Jesũ.
13 When Jesus heard this, he embarked privately; and retired into a desert place; of which the people being informed followed him by land out of the cities.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akiuma kũu ahaicĩte gatarũ andũ matekũmenya, agĩthiĩ handũ hataarĩ na andũ. Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩaigua ũguo-rĩ, gĩkiuma matũũra-inĩ gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra na magũrũ.
14 Observing, as he landed, a great multitude, he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
Rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire gatarũ na akĩona andũ aingĩ, akĩmaiguĩra tha, na akĩhonia arũaru ao.
15 Toward the evening, his disciples accosted him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past, dismiss the multitude, that they may go to the villages; and buy themselves provisions.
Na gwakuhĩrĩria gũtuka-rĩ, arutwo ake magĩthiĩ harĩ we, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũkũ nĩ kũndũ gũtarĩ mĩciĩ, na nĩkũratuka. Ĩra andũ aya mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makegũrĩre irio tũtũũra-inĩ.”
16 Jesus answered, They need not go. Supply them yourselves.
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ bata wa mathiĩ. Mahei gĩa kũrĩa inyuĩ ene.”
17 They said to him, We have here but five loaves and two fishes.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Haha tũrĩ na mĩgate ĩtano tu na thamaki igĩrĩ.”
18 He replied, Bring them hither to me.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndeherai haha.”
19 Then having commanded the people to recline upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking toward heaven, blessed them; then breaking the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and they distributed them among the people.
Nake agĩathana andũ maikare thĩ nyeki-inĩ. Akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo ĩtano na thamaki icio igĩrĩ, akĩrora igũrũ, agĩcookia ngaatho, akĩenyũranga mĩgate ĩyo. Agĩcooka akĩmĩnengera arutwo, nao arutwo makĩhe andũ.
20 When all had eat, and were satisfied, they carried off twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna, nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
21 Now they that had eat were about five thousand men; besides women and children.
Mũigana wa andũ arĩa maarĩire maarĩ ta arũme ngiri ithano, andũ-a-nja na ciana matatarĩtwo.
22 Immediately he obliged the disciples to embark and pass over before him, while he dismissed the multitude.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake matoonye gatarũ, mathiĩ mbere yake mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria mũira wa oigĩre kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro.
23 Having dismissed the multitude, he retired by himself to a mountain to pray, and remained there alone.
Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro-rĩ, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ wiki nĩguo akahooe. Na gũgĩtuka aarĩ o ho wiki,
24 By that time the bark was half way over, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
no gatarũ nĩkarĩkĩtie gũthiĩ itĩĩna iraiharaihu kuuma thĩ nyũmũ, gakĩhũũragwo nĩ makũmbĩ ma maaĩ tondũ kerekeire na kũrĩa rũhuho ruoimaga.
25 In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
Na rĩrĩ, ta thaa kenda cia ũtukũ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o agereire maaĩ igũrũ.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, being terrified, they exclaimed, An apparition! and cried out for fear.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arutwo maamuonire agĩthiĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ, makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩrĩa nĩ ngoma,” na magĩkaya nĩ gwĩtigĩra.
27 Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I, be not afraid.
No hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmĩrĩriai! Nĩ niĩ. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
28 Peter answering, said to him, If it be you, Master, bid me to come to you on the water.
Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, akorwo nĩwe-rĩ, njĩĩra njũke kũrĩ we ngereire maaĩ igũrũ.”
29 Jesus said, Come. Then Peter getting out of the bark, walked on the water toward Jesus.
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo, Petero akiuma gatarũ, agĩthiĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ erekeire harĩ Jesũ.
30 But finding the wind boisterous, he was frightened; and beginning to sink, cried, Master, save me.
No rĩrĩa oonire rũhuho, agĩĩtigĩra, na akĩambĩrĩria gũtoonyerera maaĩ-inĩ, agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, honokia!”
31 Jesus instantly stretching out his hand, caught him; and said to him, Distrustful man, wherefore did you doubt?
O rĩmwe, Jesũ agĩtambũrũkia guoko, akĩmũnyiita, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee kaĩ ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio mũnini-ĩ! Wagĩa na nganja nĩkĩ?”
32 When they had gone aboard, the wind ceased.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maahaicire gatarũ-rĩ, rũhuho rũgĩtiga kũhurutana.
33 Then those in the bark came, and prostrated themselves before him, saying, You are assuredly God's son.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ wa gatarũ makĩmũgooca, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ma wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
34 Having passed over, they landed on the territory of Gennesaret;
Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya bũrũri wa Genesareti.
35 the inhabitants of which knowing him, sent through all that country, and brought to him all the diseased,
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a kũu maamenyire atĩ nĩ Jesũ, makĩhunjia ũhoro ngʼongo ciothe iria ciamarigiicĩirie. Nao makĩmũrehera andũ othe arĩa maarĩ arũaru,
36 who besought him to let them touch but a tuft of his mantle; and as man as touched were cured.
na makĩmũthaitha areke arũaru mahutie gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na arĩa othe maamũhutirie makĩhonio.
