Mathayo 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo, Mũthamaki Herode nĩaiguire ngumo ya Jesũ,
At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear 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 did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working 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 having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,
4 tondũ Johana nĩamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ: “Watho ndũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie ũmũhikie.”
for John was saying to him, 'It is not lawful to thee to have her,'
5 Herode nĩendaga kũũraga Johana, no nĩetigagĩra andũ, tondũ nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.
and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.
6 Mũthenya wa gũkũngũĩra gũciarwo kwa Herode-rĩ, mwarĩ wa Herodia nĩainĩire andũ, na agĩkenia Herode mũno.
But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Herode akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩekũmũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe angĩendire.
whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.
8 Nake mũirĩtu ũcio aarĩkia gũtaarwo nĩ nyina, akiuga atĩrĩ, “He mũtwe wa Johana Mũbatithania o rĩu ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa kiuga.”
And she having been instigated by her mother — 'Give me (says she) here upon a plate 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.
and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũmana kũu njeera na Johana akĩrengwo mũtwe.
and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,
11 Naguo mũtwe ũcio wake ũkĩrehwo na kiuga, ũkĩnengerwo mũirĩtu ũcio, nake akĩũtwarĩra nyina.
and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother.
12 Nao arutwo a Johana magĩthiĩ makĩoya kĩimba gĩake, magĩgĩthika, magĩcooka magĩthiĩ makĩĩra Jesũ.
And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they 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 Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.
14 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oimire gatarũ na akĩona andũ aingĩ, akĩmaiguĩra tha, na akĩhonia arũaru ao.
And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;
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 evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, 'The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.'
16 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ bata wa mathiĩ. Mahei gĩa kũrĩa inyuĩ ene.”
And Jesus said to them, 'They have no need to go away — 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 not here except five loaves, and two fishes.'
18 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndeherai haha.”
And he said, 'Bring ye them to me hither.'
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 commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,
20 Othe makĩrĩa makĩhũũna, nao arutwo makĩũngania cienyũ iria ciatigarĩte makĩiyũria ciondo ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;
21 Mũigana wa andũ arĩa maarĩire maarĩ ta arũme ngiri ithano, andũ-a-nja na ciana matatarĩtwo.
and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from 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 go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;
23 Thuutha wa kũmoigĩra ũhoro-rĩ, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ wiki nĩguo akahooe. Na gũgĩtuka aarĩ o ho wiki,
and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having 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.
and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the 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 away to them, walking upon the sea,
26 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arutwo maamuonire agĩthiĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ, makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩrĩa nĩ ngoma,” na magĩkaya nĩ gwĩtigĩra.
and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying — 'It is an apparition,' and from the fear they cried out;
27 No hĩndĩ o ĩyo Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmĩrĩriai! Nĩ niĩ. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, 'Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.'
28 Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, akorwo nĩwe-rĩ, njĩĩra njũke kũrĩ we ngereire maaĩ igũrũ.”
And Peter answering him said, 'Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to 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;' and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,
30 No rĩrĩa oonire rũhuho, agĩĩtigĩra, na akĩambĩrĩria gũtoonyerera maaĩ-inĩ, agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, honokia!”
but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, 'Sir, 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, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, 'Little faith! for what didst thou waver?'
32 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maahaicire gatarũ-rĩ, rũhuho rũgĩtiga kũhurutana.
and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,
33 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ wa gatarũ makĩmũgooca, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ma wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, 'Truly — God's Son art thou.'
34 Na maarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, magĩkinya bũrũri wa Genesareti.
And having passed over, they came to 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 having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,
36 na makĩmũthaitha areke arũaru mahutie gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yake, na arĩa othe maamũhutirie makĩhonio.
and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.
