Matthew 14
1 About that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Mu kiseera ekyo Kabaka Kerode bwe yawulira ettutumu lya Yesu
2 and he said to his courtiers, "This is John the Baptist: he has come back to life--and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."
n’agamba abaweereza be nti, “Oyo ye Yokaana Omubatiza azuukidde mu bafu, era y’akola eby’amagero.”
3 For Herod had arrested John, and had put him in chains, and imprisoned him, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,
Kuba Kerode yali amaze okukwata Yokaana n’amussa mu kkomera, kubanga Yokaana yamunenya olwa Kerodiya muka Firipo muganda we,
4 because John had persistently said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
kubanga Yokaana yagamba Kerode nti, “Si kituufu okusigula muka muganda wo n’omufuula owuwo.”
5 And he would have liked to put him to death, but was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a Prophet.
Kerode yali ayagala kumutta naye n’atya abantu kubanga baalowooza Yokaana okuba nnabbi.
6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before all the company, and so pleased Herod
Olunaku lw’amazaalibwa ga Kerode bwe lwatuuka muwala wa Kerodiya n’azina nnyo ku mbaga n’asanyusa nnyo Kerode.
7 that with an oath he promised to give her whatever she asked.
Awo Kerode n’asuubiza omuwala ng’alayira okumuwa kyonna ky’anaamusaba.
8 So she, instigated by her mother, said, "Give me here on a dish the head of John the Baptist."
Naye bwe yaweebwa nnyina amagezi, n’agamba nti, “Mpeera wano omutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatiza ku lusaniya.”
9 The king was deeply vexed, yet because of his repeated oath and of the guests at his table he ordered it to be given her,
Ekintu ekyo ne kinakuwaza nnyo kabaka. Naye olwokubanga yali yakisuubiza mu maaso g’abagenyi be, kyeyava alagira bagumuleetere.
10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
Ne bagenda mu kkomera, ne batemako Yokaana omutwe
11 The head was brought on a dish and given to the young girl, and she took it to her mother.
ne baguleetera ku lusaniya ne baguwa omuwala, naye n’agutwalira nnyina.
12 Then John's disciples went and removed the body and buried it, and came and informed Jesus.
Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana ne banonayo omulambo gwe ne bagutwala ne baguziika, ne balyoka bagenda ne babikira Yesu.
13 Upon receiving these tidings, Jesus went away by boat to an uninhabited and secluded district; but the people heard of it and followed Him in crowds from the towns by land.
Yesu bwe yabiwulira ebyo, n’asaabala mu lyato, n’abaako gy’alaga abeere yekka mu kyama. Naye abantu bangi nnyo bwe baakiwulira ne bava mu bibuga bingi, ne beekooloobya, ne bamugoberera nga bayita ku lukalu.
14 So Jesus went out and saw an immense multitude, and felt compassion for them, and cured those of them who were out of health.
Yesu bwe yava eyo n’alaba, abantu bangi n’abasaasira n’awonya abalwadde baabwe.
15 But when evening was come, the disciples came to Him and said, "This is an uninhabited place, and the best of the day is now gone; send the people away to go into the villages and buy something to eat."
Obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Laba obudde buzibye ate tuli mu ddungu, ssiibula abantu bagende beegulire emmere mu bibuga.”
16 "They need not go away," replied Jesus; "you yourselves must give them something to eat."
Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Tekyetaagisa kubasiibula, mmwe mubawe ekyokulya.”
17 "We have nothing here," they said, "but five loaves and a couple of fish."
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetulina kyakulya kiyinza kubamala, wabula tulinawo emigaati etaano gyokka n’ebyennyanja bibiri.”
18 "Bring them here to me," He said,
N’abagamba nti, “Kale mubindetere wano.”
19 and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.
N’alagira ekibiina kituule wansi ku muddo, n’addira emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja ebibiri, n’atunula waggulu ne yeebaza, emigaati n’agimenyaamenyamu n’agiwa abayigirizwa ne batandika okugabula ekibiina.
20 So all ate, and were fully satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they gathered up, filling twelve baskets.
Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta; obutundutundu obwafikkawo ne babukuŋŋaanya wamu ne bujjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri!
21 Those who had eaten were about 5,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
Abantu bonna abaalya baali ng’enkumi ttaano nga totaddeeko bakazi na baana.
22 Immediately afterwards He made the disciples go on board the boat and cross to the opposite shore, leaving Him to dismiss the people.
Amangwago Yesu n’alagira abayigirizwa be basaabale eryato bagende emitala w’ennyanja, ye asigale ng’akyasiibula abantu.
23 When He had done this, He climbed the hill to pray in solitude. Night came on, and he was there alone.
Bwe yamala okusiibula ekibiina n’ayambuka ku lusozi yekka okusaba. Obudde ne buziba ng’ali eyo yekka.
24 Meanwhile the boat was far out on the Lake, buffeted and tossed by the waves, the wind being adverse.
Eryato abayigirizwa mwe baali bwe lyatuuka ebuziba, omuyaga mungi ne gubafuluma mu maaso eryato ne lyesunda.
25 But towards daybreak He went to them, walking over the waves.
Awo ku ssaawa nga mwenda ez’ekiro, Yesu n’ajja gye bali ng’atambula ku nnyanja.
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the waves, they were greatly alarmed. "It is a spirit," they exclaimed, and they cried out with terror.
Naye abayigirizwa bwe baamulaba ng’atambulira ku nnyanja ne batya, nga balowooza nti muzimu.
27 But instantly Jesus spoke to them, and said, "There is no danger; it is I; do not be afraid."
Awo amangwago Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mugume, Nze nzuuno temutya.”
28 "Master," answered Peter, "if it is you, bid me come to you upon the water."
Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Obanga ye ggwe ddala Mukama waffe, ndagira nange nzije gy’oli nga ntambulira ku mazzi.”
29 "Come," said Jesus. Then Peter climbed down from the boat and walked upon the water to go to Him.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kale jjangu.” Peetero n’ava mu lyato n’atambulira ku mazzi okugenda eri Yesu.
30 But when he felt the wind he grew frightened, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Master, save me."
Naye Peetero bwe yalaba omuyaga ogw’amaanyi, n’atya n’atandika okusaanawo, n’akoowoola Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, ndokola!”
31 Instantly Jesus stretched out His hand and caught hold of him, saying to him, "O little faith, why did you doubt?"
Amangwago Yesu n’agolola omukono gwe n’amukwata, n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe alina okukkiriza okutono, lwaki obuusizzabuusizza?”
32 So they climbed into the boat, and the wind lulled;
Bwe baalinnya mu lyato omuyaga gwonna ne guggwaawo.
33 and the men on board fell down before him and said, "You are indeed God's Son."
N’abo abaali mu lyato ne bamusinza nga bagamba nti, “Ddala ddala oli Mwana wa Katonda!”
34 When they had quite crossed over, they put ashore at Gennesaret;
Bwe baasomoka ne bagukkira ku lukalu e Genesaleeti.
35 and the men of the place, recognizing Him, sent word into all the country round. So they brought all the sick to Him,
Abantu b’omu kitundu ekyo bwe baamutegeera ne batumya abalwadde bonna ne babamuleetera.
36 and they entreated Him that they might but touch the tassel of His outer garment; and all who did so were restored to perfect health.
Ne bamwegayirira waakiri bakomeko bukomi ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye, era buli eyakomako n’awonyezebwa.
