Matthew 14
1 In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus:
Acun k'um üng Kalile Upki Herod naw Jesuha mawng cun ngja lü,
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.
a khyang he üng, “Ani cun Baptican Johan ni, thihnak üngka naw tho beki, acunakyase ni müncanksee jah pawhnak khawha johit taki,” a ti.
3 For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, —because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;
Herod naw Johan cun man lü, a na Philipa khyu Herodiha phäha thawngim üng ahlana a khyuma kyaki.
4 for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.
Johan naw Herod üng, “Na naa khyu na khyunak vai ta am nglawiki ni,” a tia phäha kyaki.
5 And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.
Herod naw Johan hnim hlüki kyaw Judah khyang he a jah kyüh. Isetiakyaküng Johan cun Judah khyang he naw sahmaa ami ngaiha kyaki.
6 But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod;
Heroda hminaka mhnüp üng, Herodiha canu cun Herod ja a khinea maa nglamki. Herod amsüma jeki.
7 wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;
“Ka ng’yünki, na hlüei na tä naküt ka ning pe khai” ti lü Herod naw Herodiha canu üng bekhüt a pet.
8 and, she, being led on by her mother, —Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
A nu naw a cüka kba nglaca cun naw, “Mlikbe üng Baptican Johana lu na pea!” a ti.
9 And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;
Sangpuxang cun pukseki, cunüngpi a khinea maa a khyütama pänga kyase nglacaa hlüei cun ami pawh vaia a jah mtheh.
10 and sent and beheaded John in the prison.
Acunüng thawngima khyang tüih lü Johana lu a khyüngsak.
11 And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.
Johana lu cun mlikbe üng lawpüi lü nglaca üng pe u se, nglaca naw a nua veia a cehpüi.
12 And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.
Johana hnükläke law u lü a yawk cehpüi lü, k’utkie naw Jesuh üng ami va mtheh.
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.
Jesuh naw Johana mawng a ngjak üng, mlawng am ngcum lü ahinak mawkpyawnga citki. Acun ngjaki khyang he naw ami mlüh jah hawih hüt lü ami khaw am läki he.
14 And, coming forth, he saw a great multitude, —and was moved with compassion over them, and cured their sick.
Mlawng üngka naw a kyum law üng Jesuh naw khyangpänu jah hmuh lü jah mpyeneiki, am phetkie a jah mdaw be.
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.
Khaw a mü law hlü üng axüisaw he a veia law u lü, “Ahin hin maw ni, khaw pi mthan hnühki ni. Khyang he hin jah tüiha, ami ei vai ngnamea ami ei phäh phäh vai khyäiei hü u se” ami ti.
16 But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away, —give, ye, them to eat.
Jesuh naw, “Athuknaka ami ceh vai am hlü, nangmi naw ami ei vai aipi jah pe ua,” a ti.
17 But, they, say unto him—We have nothing here, save five loaves and two fishes.
Amimi naw, “Muk mhma ja nga nghngihca däk ni kami tak ve u,” ti u se,
18 But, he, said—Bring, them, to me, here.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Ka veia lawpüi ua,” a ti.
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.
Khyang he cun msaia khana ngaw khai hea a jah mtheh. Acunkäna muk mhma ja nga nghngih cun jah lo lü khana mang lü Pamhnam üng jenak mthehki. Muke cun jah bo lü axüisaw he üng a jah pet. A axüisaw he naw khyang he üng ami jah pet.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled, —and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full.
Avan naw ei lü phü u se, ami ei k’hläi cun axüisaw he naw ami mcun be üng cä xaleinghngiha lawki.
21 And, they who did eat, were about five thousand, men, besides women and children.
Eikie naküt cun nghnumi ja hnasen am pakia, kpami däk thawngmhma lawki he.
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.
Acunüng Jesuh naw khyang he a jah tüih be käna, axüisaw he cun mlawng üng cayea a jah na cehsak.
23 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain, apart, to pray, —and when, evening, came, alone, was he, there.
Acukba khyang he a jah tüih be päng üng, amätca mcunga ktaiyü khaia kaiki. Khaw mü law se, amät däk acuia veki.
24 Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves, —for, the wind, was, contrary.
Acunüng mlawng cun kawng üngka naw a thuknak tuili nglunga ve se tuingnawk naw a ceh hü.
25 And, in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
Khaw athaih law hlü üng, Jesuh tuia khana a khaw am axüisaw hea veia lawki.
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.
Axüisawe naw tuia khana a law ami hmuh üng kyühei law u lü, “Hin hin ngmüimkhya ni,” ti u lü ngpyangkie.
27 And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying—Take courage! it is, I,—be not afraid.
Jesuh naw, “Käh kyüei ua, Kei ni,” a ti.
28 And, making answer, Peter said unto him, —Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon the waters.
Pita naw msang lü, “Bawipa aw, nang na ni üng, tuia khana ka law hnga khaia na mtheha,” a ti.
29 And, he, said—Come! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came unto Jesus.
“Lawa,” Jesuh naw a ti. Acunüng Pita mlawng üngka naw kco law lü Jesuha veia cit khaia tuia khana citki.
30 But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying—Lord! save me!
Acunüngpi khawa khi law a hmuh üng kyühei lü tui üng ju ngcumei lü, “Bawipa aw, na küikyana,” ti lü ngpyang se,
31 And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him—O little-of-faith! why didst thou doubt?
Jesuh naw man be lü, “Jumeinak ngcekia khyang aw, ivaia na mlung uplatki ni” a ti.
32 And, when they came up into the boat, the wind abated.
Mlawng üng ani kai be ja khawkhi ngdüm beki.
33 And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying—Truly, God’s Son, thou art!
Mlawnga k’uma veki axüisaw he naw hjawkhah law u lü, “Nang hin Pamhnama Capa na kya kcangki ni,” ami ti.
34 And, going across, they came up the land, into Gennesaret.
Tuili cayea va pek u lü Kenesaret hnea lawki he.
35 And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto him all who were sick;
Acuia ka khyang he naw Jesuh ami ksing üng, acuna pipei üngkae pe naküt üng khyang he jah tüih hü u lü am phetkie naküt ami jah lawpüi u.
36 and were beseeching [him], that they might, only, touch the border of his mantle, and, as many as touched, were made quite well.
A suisak mdawngca hman hneh vaia nghuinakie, acunüng, aupi hneki naküt cun phet bekie.
