Mathayo 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo, Mũthamaki Herode nĩaiguire ngumo ya Jesũ,
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 nake akĩĩra arĩa maamũtungataga atĩrĩ, “Ũcio nĩ Johana Mũbatithania; nĩ ariũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ! Nĩkĩo arĩ na hinya mũnene ũguo wa kũringa ciama.”
And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he hath risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
3 Na rĩrĩ, Herode nĩanyiitĩte Johana akamuoha, na akamũikia njeera nĩ ũndũ wa Herodia, ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina Filipu,
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 tondũ Johana nĩamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ: “Watho ndũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie ũmũhikie.”
For John had said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 Herode nĩendaga kũũraga Johana, no nĩetigagĩra andũ, tondũ nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Mũthenya wa gũkũngũĩra gũciarwo kwa Herode-rĩ, mwarĩ wa Herodia nĩainĩire andũ, na agĩkenia Herode mũno.
But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herode akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩekũmũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe angĩendire.
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
8 Nake mũirĩtu ũcio aarĩkia gũtaarwo nĩ nyina, akiuga atĩrĩ, “He mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania o rĩu ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa kiuga.”
And she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
9 Mũthamaki nĩataangĩkire mũno, no nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩhĩtwa wake, na ageni arĩa maarĩ iruga-inĩ rĩake-rĩ, agĩathana atĩ mũirĩtu ũcio aheo kĩrĩa eetĩtie.
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the sake of the oath and them who sat eating with him, he commanded it to be given her.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũmana kũu njeera na Johana akĩrengwo mũtwe.
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Naguo mũtwe ũcio wake ũkĩrehwo na kiuga, ũkĩnengerwo mũirĩtu ũcio, nake akĩũtwarĩra nyina.
And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the girl: and she brought it to her mother.
12 Nao arutwo a Johana magĩthiĩ makĩoya kĩimba gĩake, magĩgĩthika, magĩcooka magĩthiĩ makĩĩra Jesũ.
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 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.
When Jesus heard of it, he departed from there in a boat into a desert place by himself: and when the people had heard of it, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire gatarũ na akĩona andũ aingĩ, akĩmaiguĩra tha, na akĩhonia arũaru ao.
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15 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.”
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now late; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.
16 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ bata wa mathiĩ. Mahei gĩa kũrĩa inyuĩ ene.”
But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Haha tũrĩ na mĩgate ĩtano tu na thamaki igĩrĩ.”
And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndeherai haha.”
He said, Bring them here to me.
19 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.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna, nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 Mũigana wa andũ arĩa maarĩire maarĩ ta arũme ngiri ithano, andũ-a-nja na ciana matatarĩtwo.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake matoonye gatarũ, mathiĩ mbere yake mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria mũira wa oigĩre kĩrĩndĩ ũhoro.
And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro-rĩ, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ wiki nĩguo akahooe. Na gũgĩtuka aarĩ o ho wiki,
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 no gatarũ nĩkarĩkĩtie gũthiĩ itĩĩna iraiharaihu kuuma thĩ nyũmũ, gakĩhũũragwo nĩ makũmbĩ ma maaĩ tondũ kerekeire na kũrĩa rũhuho ruoimaga.
But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 Na rĩrĩ, ta thaa kenda cia ũtukũ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o agereire maaĩ igũrũ.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arutwo maamuonire agĩthiĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ, makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩrĩa nĩ ngoma,” na magĩkaya nĩ gwĩtigĩra.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear.
27 No hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmĩrĩriai! Nĩ niĩ. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, akorwo nĩwe-rĩ, njĩĩra njũke kũrĩ we ngereire maaĩ igũrũ.”
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water.
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo, Petero akiuma gatarũ, agĩthiĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ erekeire harĩ Jesũ.
And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 No rĩrĩa oonire rũhuho, agĩĩtigĩra, na akĩambĩrĩria gũtoonyerera maaĩ-inĩ, agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, honokia!”
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 O rĩmwe, Jesũ agĩtambũrũkia guoko, akĩmũnyiita, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee kaĩ ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio mũnini-ĩ! Wagĩa na nganja nĩkĩ?”
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
32 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maahaicire gatarũ-rĩ, rũhuho rũgĩtiga kũhurutana.
And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ wa gatarũ makĩmũgooca, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ma wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
Then they that were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, In truth thou art the Son of God.
34 Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya bũrũri wa Genesareti.
And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a kũu maamenyire atĩ nĩ Jesũ, makĩhunjia ũhoro ngʼongo ciothe iria ciamarigiicĩirie. Nao makĩmũrehera andũ othe arĩa maarĩ arũaru,
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the surrounding country, and brought to him all that were diseased;
36 na makĩmũthaitha areke arũaru mahutie gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na arĩa othe maamũhutirie makĩhonio.
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly well.
