Matthew 14
1 During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
Ní àkókò náà ni Herodu ọba tetrarki gbọ́ nípa òkìkí Jesu,
2 He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Dájúdájú Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi ni èyí, ó jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú. Ìdí nìyí tí ó fi ní agbára láti ṣiṣẹ́ ìyanu wọ̀nyí.”
3 The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.
Nísinsin yìí Herodu ti mú Johanu, ó fi ẹ̀wọ̀n dè é, ó sì fi sínú túbú, nítorí Herodia aya Filipi arákùnrin rẹ̀,
nítorí Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi ti sọ fún Herodu pé, “Kò yẹ fún ọ láti fẹ́ obìnrin náà.”
5 Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
Herodu fẹ́ pa Johanu, ṣùgbọ́n ó bẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn nítorí gbogbo ènìyàn gbàgbọ́ pé wòlíì ni.
6 But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
Ní ọjọ́ àsè ìrántí ọjọ́ ìbí Herodu, ọmọ Herodia obìnrin jó dáradára, ó sì tẹ́ Herodu lọ́run gidigidi.
7 So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
Nítorí náà ni ó ṣe fi ìbúra ṣe ìlérí láti fún un ní ohunkóhun ti ó bá béèrè fún.
8 [So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
Pẹ̀lú ìmọ̀ràn láti ọ̀dọ̀ ìyá rẹ̀, ó béèrè pé, “Fún mi ni orí Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi nínú àwopọ̀kọ́”.
9 The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
Inú ọba bàjẹ́ gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ìbúra rẹ̀ àti kí ojú má ba à tì í níwájú àwọn àlejò tó wà ba jẹ àsè, ó pàṣẹ pé kí wọ́n fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti fẹ́.
10 He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
Nítorí náà, a bẹ́ orí Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi nínú ilé túbú.
11 [The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
A sì gbé orí rẹ̀ jáde láti fi fún ọmọbìnrin náà nínú àwopọ̀kọ́, òun sì gbà á, ó gbé e tọ ìyá rẹ̀ lọ.
12 John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
Lẹ́yìn náà, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Johanu wá gba òkú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì sin ín. Wọ́n sì wá sọ ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ fún Jesu.
13 After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
Nígbà tí Jesu gbọ́ ìròyìn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ náà, ó kúrò níbẹ̀, ó bá ọkọ̀ ojú omi lọ sí ibi kọ́lọ́fín kan ní èbúté láti dá wà níbẹ̀. Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì fi ẹsẹ̀ rìn tẹ̀lé e láti ọ̀pọ̀ ìlú wọn.
14 When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
Nígbà ti Jesu gúnlẹ̀, tí ó sì rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn, inú rẹ̀ yọ́ sí wọn, ó sì mú àwọn aláìsàn láradá.
15 When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
Nígbà ti ilẹ̀ ń ṣú lọ, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ibi yìí jìnnà sí ìlú ilẹ̀ sì ń ṣú lọ. Rán àwọn ènìyàn lọ sí àwọn ìletò kí wọ́n lè ra oúnjẹ jẹ.”
16 But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu fèsì pé, “Kò nílò kí wọ́n lọ kúrò. Ẹ fún wọn ní oúnjẹ.”
17 We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
Wọ́n sì dalóhùn pé, “Àwa kò ní ju ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún àti ẹja méjì lọ níhìn-ín.”
18 He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
Ó wí pé, “Ẹ mú wọn wá fún mi níhìn-ín yìí.”
19 He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
Lẹ́yìn náà, ó wí fún àwọn ènìyàn kí wọ́n jókòó lórí koríko. Lẹ́yìn náà, ó mú ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún àti ẹja méjì. Ó gbé ojú rẹ̀ sí ọ̀run. Ó béèrè ìbùkún Ọlọ́run lórí oúnjẹ náà, Ó sì bù ú, ó sì fi àkàrà náà fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn láti pín in fún àwọn ènìyàn.
20 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
Gbogbo wọn sì jẹ àjẹyó. Lẹ́yìn náà àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kó àjẹkù jọ, ó kún agbọ̀n méjìlá.
21 Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
Iye àwọn ènìyàn ni ọjọ́ náà jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ọkùnrin, láìka àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé.
22 Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
Lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ lẹ́yìn èyí, Jesu wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ kí wọ́n bọ sínú ọkọ̀ wọn, àti kí wọ́n máa kọjá lọ ṣáájú rẹ̀ sí òdìkejì. Òun náà dúró lẹ́yìn láti tú àwọn ènìyàn ká lọ sí ilé wọn.
23 After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
Lẹ́yìn tí ó tú ìjọ ènìyàn ká tán, ó gun orí òkè lọ fúnra rẹ̀ láti lọ gba àdúrà. Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ ṣú, òun wà nìkan níbẹ̀,
24 [By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
ní àkókò yìí ọkọ̀ ojú omi náà ti rin jìnnà sí etí bèbè Òkun, tí ìjì omi ń tì í síwá sẹ́yìn, nítorí ìjì ṣe ọwọ́ òdì sí wọn.
25 [Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
Ní déédé ago mẹ́rin òwúrọ̀, Jesu tọ̀ wọ́n wá, ó ń rìn lórí omi.
26 When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rí i tí ó ń rìn lójú omi, ẹ̀rù ba wọn gidigidi, wọ́n rò pé “iwin ni,” wọ́n kígbe tìbẹ̀rù tìbẹ̀rù.
27 Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
Lójúkan náà, Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú ọkàn le! Èmi ni ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù.”
28 Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
Peteru sì ké sí i pé, “Olúwa, bí ó bá jẹ́ pé ìwọ ni nítòótọ́, sọ pé kí n tọ̀ ọ́ wà lórí omi.”
29 Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Ó dára, máa bọ̀ wá.” Nígbà náà ni Peteru sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti inú ọkọ̀. Ó ń rìn lórí omi lọ sí ìhà ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu.
30 But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Nígbà tí ó rí afẹ́fẹ́ líle, ẹ̀rù bà á, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í rì. Ó kígbe lóhùn rara pé, “Gbà mí, Olúwa.”
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
Lójúkan náà, Jesu na ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó dìímú, ó sì gbà á. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ṣiyèméjì ìwọ onígbàgbọ́ kékeré?”
32 Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
Àti pé, nígbà ti wọ́n sì gòkè sínú ọkọ̀, ìjì náà sì dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
33 All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
Nígbà náà ni àwọn to wà nínú ọkọ̀ náà foríbalẹ̀ fún un wọ́n wí pé, “Nítòótọ́ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ í ṣe.”
34 When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
Nígbà tí wọn rékọjá sí apá kejì wọ́n gúnlẹ̀ sí Genesareti.
35 The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
Nígbà tiwọn mọ̀ pé Jesu ni, wọn sì ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo ìlú náà yíká. Wọ́n sì gbé gbogbo àwọn aláìsàn tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
36 [The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
Àwọn aláìsàn bẹ̀ ẹ́ pé kí ó gba àwọn láyè láti fi ọwọ́ kan ìṣẹ́tí aṣọ rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sì rí ìwòsàn.
