Matiu 14
1 Nʼoge a Herọd eze na-achị Galili nụrụ ihe banyere Jisọs.
In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus:
2 Ọ gwara ndị na-ejere ya ozi okwu sị ha, “Onye a bụkwanụ Jọn omee baptizim. O sitela na ndị nwụrụ anwụ bilie dịkwa ndụ ọzọ. Ọ bụ ya mere ike ịrụ ọrụ ebube ndị a ji dị nʼime ya.”
and he said unto his servants—This, is John the Immerser, —he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within him.
3 Nʼihi na, Herọd jidere Jọn kee ya agbụ tinye ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, nʼihi Herodịas nwunye Filip nwanne ya nwoke.
For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, —because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;
4 Nʼihi na Jọn gwara ya, “Ọ bụghị ihe ziri ezi nʼiwu ka ị kpọrọ ya.”
for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.
5 Herọd chọrọrị igbu ya, ma ọ tụrụ egwu ndị mmadụ, nʼihi na ha weere Jọn dị ka onye amụma.
And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.
6 Ma mgbe a na-eme mmemme icheta ọmụmụ Herọd, ada Herodịas tere egwu nʼihu Herọd, na nʼihu ndị ọbịa bịara nʼụbọchị ahụ. Obi tọrọ Herọd ụtọ nke ukwuu.
But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod;
7 Nke a mere o ji ṅụọ iyi kwee nkwa inye ya ihe ọbụla ọ rịọrọ.
wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;
8 Ma dị ka nne ya si haziere ya, ọ rịọrọ eze Herọd sị, “Nye m isi Jọn omee baptizim nʼefere ugbu a.”
and, she, being led on by her mother, —Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
9 Arịrịọ a wutere eze Herọd, ma nʼihi iyi ọ ṅụrụ na nʼihi ndị ọbịa ya niile, ọ chọghị ịla azụ nʼokwu ya. O nyere iwu ka e meere ya ihe ọ chọrọ.
And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;
10 O ziri ozi ka e bipụ isi Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.
and sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 E tinyere isi ya nʼefere bunye nwaagbọghọ ahụ. Ọ naara ya bulaara nne ya.
And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.
12 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịara buru ozu ya gaa lie. Ha gara kọọrọ Jisọs ihe mere.
And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.
13 Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ akụkọ a, ọ banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri gaa nʼọzara, ebe ọ ga-anọdụrụ onwe ya. Ma mgbe igwe mmadụ nụrụ ya, ha si obodo dị iche iche sooro ya nʼukwu ala.
And Jesus, hearing it, retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, apart, —and the multitudes, hearing of it, followed him on foot from the cities.
14 Mgbe o sitere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ rịdata, ọ hụrụ oke igwe mmadụ. O nwere ọmịiko nʼebe ha nọ, gwọọ ndị ọrịa nʼetiti ha.
And, coming forth, he saw a great multitude, —and was moved with compassion over them, and cured their sick.
15 Nʼoge anyasị ụbọchị ahụ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Chi na-achọ iji. Ebe a abụkwaghị ebe ndị mmadụ bi. O nweghị nri a ga-azụta nʼọzara a. Zilaga igwe mmadụ ndị a ka ha gaa nʼime obodo zụọra onwe ha nri.”
And, evening, arriving, the disciples came unto him, saying—The place is, a desert, and, the hour, hath already passed, —dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves food.
16 Ma Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Ọ dịghị mkpa na ha ga-ala. Nyenụ ha nri ka ha rie.”
But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away, —give, ye, them to eat.
17 Ha zara ya sị, “Ọ bụ naanị ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ ka anyị nwere.”
But, they, say unto him—We have nothing here, save five loaves and two fishes.
18 Ọ sịrị ha, “Wetaranụ m ha nʼebe a.”
But, he, said—Bring, them, to me, here.
19 Ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha nọdụ ala nʼahịhịa. O weere ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ ahụ welie anya ya elu nye Chineke ekele. Ọ nyawara achịcha ahụ, nye ha ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nyere ha igwe mmadụ ahụ.
And, giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass, —taking the five loaves and the two fishes, —looking up into the heaven, he blessed; and, breaking, gave, the disciples, the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude.
20 Onye ọbụla riri rijuo afọ. Emesịa, ndị na-eso ụzọ Jisọs tụtụkọtara iberibe achịcha dara nʼala tụtụjuo ha nkata iri na abụọ.
And they did all eat, and were filled, —and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full.
21 Ma ndị riri nri ahụ dị puku ụmụ nwoke ise, nʼagụnyeghị ụmụ nwanyị, na ụmụntakịrị.
And, they who did eat, were about five thousand, men, besides women and children.
22 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha banye nʼụgbọ malite ịgafe ofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ. Ma ya onwe ya nọdụrụ maka izilaga ndị mmadụ ahụ.
And [straightway] constrained he the disciples to enter into a boat, and be going before him unto the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.
23 Mgbe ọ zilagasịrị igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu ikpe ekpere, naanị ya. Mgbe oge anyasị ruru, naanị ya nọkwa na-ebe ahụ.
And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain, apart, to pray, —and when, evening, came, alone, was he, there.
24 Ma nʼoge a ụgbọ mmiri ahụ esitela nʼebe ala dị nso gamie nʼelu osimiri, ebili mmiri na-ebugharịkwa ya, nʼihi na ifufe ahụ na-emegide ya.
Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves, —for, the wind, was, contrary.
25 Ma ihe dị ka site nʼelekere atọ ruo elekere isii nke ụtụtụ, Jisọs bịakwutere ha, na-aga ije nʼelu osimiri.
And, in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
26 Mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụrụ ya ka ọ na-aga ije nʼelu osimiri ahụ, obi lọrọ ha mmiri, ha sị, “Ọ bụkwanụ mmụọ o!” Ha tiri mkpu nʼihi egwu.
And, the disciples, seeing him, upon the lake walking, were troubled, —saying—It is, a ghost; and, by reason of their fear, they cried out.
27 Ma ngwangwa Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nweenụ obi ike! O bụ m; unu atụla egwu.”
And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying—Take courage! it is, I,—be not afraid.
28 Pita zara ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ gị, sị m bịakwute gị nʼelu mmiri.”
And, making answer, Peter said unto him, —Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon the waters.
29 Ọ sịrị ya, “Bịa!” Pita sitere nʼụgbọ ahụ pụta, bido ịga ije nʼelu mmiri ijekwuru Jisọs.
And, he, said—Come! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came unto Jesus.
30 Ma mgbe ọ hụrụ oke ebili mmiri ahụ ka ọ na-amagharị; egwu tụrụ ya. Ma mgbe ọ malitere imikpu nʼime mmiri ahụ, o tiri mkpu sị, “Onyenwe m! Zọpụta m!”
But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying—Lord! save me!
31 Na-atụfughị oge, Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya dọpụta Pita. Ọ sịrị ya, “Gị onye okwukwe nta, nʼihi gịnị ka i ji nwee obi abụọ!”
And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him—O little-of-faith! why didst thou doubt?
32 Ma mgbe ha rịbanyere nʼime ụgbọ ahụ ifufe ahụ kwụsịkwara.
And, when they came up into the boat, the wind abated.
33 Ndị ahụ nọ nʼụgbọ ahụ kpọrọ isiala nye ya sị, “Nʼezie, ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke.”
And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying—Truly, God’s Son, thou art!
34 Mgbe ha gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ, ha bịarutere nʼala Genesaret.
And, going across, they came up the land, into Gennesaret.
35 Mgbe ndị obodo ahụ matara na ọ bụ ya, ha zisara ozi gburugburu obodo niile ahụ, ma dutere ya ndị niile ahụ na-adịghị ike.
And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto him all who were sick;
36 Ha rịọrọ ya ka o kwenye ka ha metụ ọ bụladị ọnụ uwe ya aka. Ndị niile metụrụ ya aka ka a gwọrọ.
and were beseeching [him], that they might, only, touch the border of his mantle, and, as many as touched, were made quite well.
