Mathayo 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo, Mũthamaki Herode nĩaiguire ngumo ya Jesũ,
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard 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 is certainly risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous things are done by 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 apprehended 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 said to Him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: and he would have put him to death,
5 Herode nĩendaga kũũraga Johana, no nĩetigagĩra andũ, tondũ nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.
but that he was afraid of the people; for they esteemed 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 birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herode akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩekũmũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe angĩendire.
that he promised her 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 in a dish the head of John the baptist:
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.
at which the king was distressed, but because of his oath, and of those who sat at table with him, he ordered 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 in a dish, and given to the young princess, who carried 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 then 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.
And when Jesus heard it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was followed Him on foot from the cities:
14 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire gatarũ na akĩona andũ aingĩ, akĩmaiguĩra tha, na akĩhonia arũaru ao.
and when Jesus came out of the ship, He 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.”
Now when it was evening his disciples came to Him and said, This is a desert place, and meal-time is now past; dismiss the people, that they may go away to the towns, and buy themselves victuals.
16 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ bata wa mathiĩ. Mahei gĩa kũrĩa inyuĩ ene.”
But Jesus said to them, they have no need to go away, do ye give them something to eat.
17 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Haha tũrĩ na mĩgate ĩtano tu na thamaki igĩrĩ.”
And they said, we have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes:
18 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndeherai haha.”
and He said, bring them hither 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 having ordered the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, and taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven and blessed them; and He brake the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people: and they did all eat, and were satisfied;
20 Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna, nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
and they took up what was left even of fragments twelve baskets full.
21 Mũigana wa andũ arĩa maarĩire maarĩ ta arũme ngiri ithano, andũ-a-nja na ciana matatarĩtwo.
Now 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 presently after Jesus obliged the disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the multitudes:
23 Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro-rĩ, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ wiki nĩguo akahooe. Na gũgĩtuka aarĩ o ho wiki,
and when He had dismissed them, He went up to a hill in private to pray.
24 no gatarũ nĩkarĩkĩtie gũthiĩ itĩĩna iraiharaihu kuuma thĩ nyũmũ, gakĩhũũragwo nĩ makũmbĩ ma maaĩ tondũ kerekeire na kũrĩa rũhuho ruoimaga.
And in the evening He was there alone. Now the ship was by this time in the midst of the sea, and violently tossed by the waves; for the wind was contrary:
25 Na rĩrĩ, ta thaa kenda cia ũtukũ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o agereire maaĩ igũrũ.
but in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came 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 affrighted and said, It is an apparition;
27 No hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmĩrĩriai! Nĩ niĩ. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.
28 Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, akorwo nĩwe-rĩ, njĩĩra njũke kũrĩ we ngereire maaĩ igũrũ.”
Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo, Petero akiuma gatarũ, agĩthiĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ erekeire harĩ Jesũ.
And He said, Come.
30 No rĩrĩa oonire rũhuho, agĩĩtigĩra, na akĩambĩrĩria gũtoonyerera maaĩ-inĩ, agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, honokia!”
And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, Lord, save me.
31 O rĩmwe, Jesũ agĩtambũrũkia guoko, akĩmũnyiita, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee kaĩ ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio mũnini-ĩ! Wagĩa na nganja nĩkĩ?”
And Jesus, immediately stretching forth his hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, O man of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maahaicire gatarũ-rĩ, rũhuho rũgĩtiga kũhurutana.
So they got into the ship, and 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 ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.
34 Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya bũrũri wa Genesareti.
And they passed over and came into the country 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 the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;
36 na makĩmũthaitha areke arũaru mahutie gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na arĩa othe maamũhutirie makĩhonio.
and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.
