Matthew 14
1 In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus:
Ni nton Kimayi Hiridus ana chu nda wo ikpye wa ba'tre ni tu Yesu a.
2 and he said unto his servants—This, is John the Immerser, —he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within him.
Ahla ni ba gran ma “Iwayi ahi Yohana u tie batisma; a tashme. A to kima mba wa he ni ngbengblen u tie bi ndu bayi.
3 For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, —because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;
Ana Hiridus yi vu Yohana tro ni tu Hirudiya iwa vayi ma Filibo.
4 for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.
Niwa ahla niwu “Anabi ndu ban wa tie wame na”
5 And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.
Hiridus ana wuu wa a klu sisri ndi wa mba kpawu nyme ndahi anebi.
6 But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod;
Niwa ivi wa ba ngrji Hiridus a tie a, ivrenwa Hiruduja a to nglu nzan wa abi kpukpome ni Hiridus.
7 wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;
A hla niwu nda shirji nha tia ndi ani mye wu ko ngyeri, ani nnowu
8 and, she, being led on by her mother, —Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
Wa awo ni yima ikpye wa ani myea a tre, “Ne niwa itu Yohana u tie batisma nimi tere”
9 And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;
Ichu a tie nfu ni mye maa, uni tu wa ana shirji niwu ye nha bi ni indi wa baye rli niwu'a a yo ba ndu ba tie tokima.
10 and sent and beheaded John in the prison.
A ton mba ka cu toh Yohana ni mi koh u troa.
11 And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.
Nikiyi, ba nji tohma ye nno vrenwa ni mi tere a wa a kpa nji hi ka nno yima.
12 And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.
Nikiyi mrli koma baka ye ban ikmo karju bahi ka hla Yesu.
13 And Jesus, hearing it, retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, apart, —and the multitudes, hearing of it, followed him on foot from the cities.
Wa Yesu awo towa a wlu niki ndra (tuka) ni ghwu hi wrji ri ni kankle ma. Wa jbu ndi ba ba wo towa baka zren rji ni mi gbu ba ni za huhi.
14 And, coming forth, he saw a great multitude, —and was moved with compassion over them, and cured their sick.
Nikiyi Yesu aye ni shishi mba nda to jbu ndi mba. Isronma ka tie wie ni ba nda den indi mba bi lilo
15 And, evening, arriving, the disciples came unto him, saying—The place is, a desert, and, the hour, hath already passed, —dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves food.
Wa yalu ye tie a mrli koh ma baye niwu nda tre “Bubuyi ahi miji u iton a gbronhiye. Cu ndi mba cuwo ndu bahi ni mrli gbu nda le birli rli”
16 But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away, —give, ye, them to eat.
U Yesu hla bawu, “Ihi mba megyen na bi na nno ba ikpye wa ba rlia”
17 But, they, say unto him—We have nothing here, save five loaves and two fishes.
Ba hla niwu,”kie he ni gble bredi ton u lambe harli”
18 But, he, said—Bring, them, to me, here.
Yesu ka tre, “Nji ba yene”
19 And, giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass, —taking the five loaves and the two fishes, —looking up into the heaven, he blessed; and, breaking, gave, the disciples, the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude.
Nikiyi Yesu a hla ni j'bu ndi ba ndu ba kuson ni tu giga. A vu ngble bredi ton ba u lambe harli ba nji. A nzu ya shulu, nda tie lulu bawu nda nfu bredi ka nno mrli koh ma u ba kpa nno j'bu ndi ba.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled, —and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full.
Ba ton nda hwrji. U kpunkpu bredi mba lambe wa a don a bavu shu nimi sisen tso.
21 And, they who did eat, were about five thousand, men, besides women and children.
U biwa ba tan-a, lilon dubu ton mu, imba na mrli bana blayona.
22 And [straightway] constrained he the disciples to enter into a boat, and be going before him unto the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.
A tiegbla ndu mrli koh ma rini mi ghwu nda dran ru' hi gran rima guciwu, wawu a krli gbyen j'bu ndi ba nda kaye cu ba cuwo.
23 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain, apart, to pray, —and when, evening, came, alone, was he, there.
Niwa a ndu j'bu ndi ba hia, a hon hi ngblu nda ka tie a duwa. Yalu yetie wa ahe ni nklen ma.
24 Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves, —for, the wind, was, contrary.
Ni ntonyi ighu'a he ni mi tsutsu maa u dakpyren maa u kiekle nghu nghu ba wru ka'da tie dii u dran wu.
25 And, in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
Ni bwuh mble (krifi tra u mble), Yesu ka zren ni tu maa siye ni ba.
26 And, the disciples, seeing him, upon the lake walking, were troubled, —saying—It is, a ghost; and, by reason of their fear, they cried out.
Wa mrli ko ma to si zren ni tu maa, ba ka tie sisri nda tre “Iwayi hi brji”, nda yragro ni sisri.
27 And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying—Take courage! it is, I,—be not afraid.
Yesu ka gble tre ni ba nda hla, “Vu sron! ahi me! Na klu sisri na”.
28 And, making answer, Peter said unto him, —Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon the waters.
Bitru a saa niwu nda tre, “Baci ani ta hiwu, yome ndu me ye niwu”
29 And, he, said—Come! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came unto Jesus.
Yesu a tre, “Ye” u Bitru ka rju ni ghua nda zren ni tuma sihi ni Yesu.
30 But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying—Lord! save me!
Ni' wa Bitru to sen nghunghua, a tie sisri. Wa a gle sihi ni mi maa, a kpagro nda tre, “Baci kpame cuwo!”
31 And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him—O little-of-faith! why didst thou doubt?
Yesu katie gbla rima wo ma vu Bitru nda hla ni wu, “Iwu u tsitsa suron, ahi ngye yo ni kay'me?”
32 And, when they came up into the boat, the wind abated.
Niwa Yesu mba Bitru ba ri ni mi ghu'a nghunghua kukli nda na la fu na.
33 And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying—Truly, God’s Son, thou art!
Nikiyi mrli koh ma ni mi ghua baka ku khu niwu nda tre, “Njanjimu u vren Rji”.
34 And, going across, they came up the land, into Gennesaret.
Wa ba rugran, bahi ni gbu Janisarata.
35 And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto him all who were sick;
Wa indi bi wrji kima bato Yesu, ba tru cu ma hi ni ba nklan bi bubu ki, nda nji bi lilo bla san ye niwu.
36 and were beseeching [him], that they might, only, touch the border of his mantle, and, as many as touched, were made quite well.
Ba breu ndi ndu ba' kpre nyu nklon ma, u biwa ba kpreu a ba fe den.
