Matayo 14
1 Mu kiseera ekyo Kabaka Kerode bwe yawulira ettutumu lya Yesu
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
2 n’agamba abaweereza be nti, “Oyo ye Yokaana Omubatiza azuukidde mu bafu, era y’akola eby’amagero.”
and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
3 Kuba Kerode yali amaze okukwata Yokaana n’amussa mu kkomera, kubanga Yokaana yamunenya olwa Kerodiya muka Firipo muganda we,
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 kubanga Yokaana yagamba Kerode nti, “Si kituufu okusigula muka muganda wo n’omufuula owuwo.”
For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 Kerode yali ayagala kumutta naye n’atya abantu kubanga baalowooza Yokaana okuba nnabbi.
When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Olunaku lw’amazaalibwa ga Kerode bwe lwatuuka muwala wa Kerodiya n’azina nnyo ku mbaga n’asanyusa nnyo Kerode.
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
7 Awo Kerode n’asuubiza omuwala ng’alayira okumuwa kyonna ky’anaamusaba.
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Naye bwe yaweebwa nnyina amagezi, n’agamba nti, “Mpeera wano omutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatiza ku lusaniya.”
She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
9 Ekintu ekyo ne kinakuwaza nnyo kabaka. Naye olwokubanga yali yakisuubiza mu maaso g’abagenyi be, kyeyava alagira bagumuleetere.
The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
10 Ne bagenda mu kkomera, ne batemako Yokaana omutwe
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 ne baguleetera ku lusaniya ne baguwa omuwala, naye n’agutwalira nnyina.
His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
12 Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana ne banonayo omulambo gwe ne bagutwala ne baguziika, ne balyoka bagenda ne babikira Yesu.
His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 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.
Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 Yesu bwe yava eyo n’alaba, abantu bangi n’abasaasira n’awonya abalwadde baabwe.
Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 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.”
When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”
16 Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Tekyetaagisa kubasiibula, mmwe mubawe ekyokulya.”
But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetulina kyakulya kiyinza kubamala, wabula tulinawo emigaati etaano gyokka n’ebyennyanja bibiri.”
They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 N’abagamba nti, “Kale mubindetere wano.”
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 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.
He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
20 Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta; obutundutundu obwafikkawo ne babukuŋŋaanya wamu ne bujjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri!
They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Abantu bonna abaalya baali ng’enkumi ttaano nga totaddeeko bakazi na baana.
Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 Amangwago Yesu n’alagira abayigirizwa be basaabale eryato bagende emitala w’ennyanja, ye asigale ng’akyasiibula abantu.
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 Bwe yamala okusiibula ekibiina n’ayambuka ku lusozi yekka okusaba. Obudde ne buziba ng’ali eyo yekka.
After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24 Eryato abayigirizwa mwe baali bwe lyatuuka ebuziba, omuyaga mungi ne gubafuluma mu maaso eryato ne lyesunda.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Awo ku ssaawa nga mwenda ez’ekiro, Yesu n’ajja gye bali ng’atambula ku nnyanja.
In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Naye abayigirizwa bwe baamulaba ng’atambulira ku nnyanja ne batya, nga balowooza nti muzimu.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 Awo amangwago Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mugume, Nze nzuuno temutya.”
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Do not be afraid.”
28 Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Obanga ye ggwe ddala Mukama waffe, ndagira nange nzije gy’oli nga ntambulira ku mazzi.”
Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kale jjangu.” Peetero n’ava mu lyato n’atambulira ku mazzi okugenda eri Yesu.
He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
30 Naye Peetero bwe yalaba omuyaga ogw’amaanyi, n’atya n’atandika okusaanawo, n’akoowoola Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, ndokola!”
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 Amangwago Yesu n’agolola omukono gwe n’amukwata, n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe alina okukkiriza okutono, lwaki obuusizzabuusizza?”
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Bwe baalinnya mu lyato omuyaga gwonna ne guggwaawo.
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 N’abo abaali mu lyato ne bamusinza nga bagamba nti, “Ddala ddala oli Mwana wa Katonda!”
Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
34 Bwe baasomoka ne bagukkira ku lukalu e Genesaleeti.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Abantu b’omu kitundu ekyo bwe baamutegeera ne batumya abalwadde bonna ne babamuleetera.
When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
36 Ne bamwegayirira waakiri bakomeko bukomi ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye, era buli eyakomako n’awonyezebwa.
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
