Matayo 14
1 Mu kiseera ekyo Kabaka Kerode bwe yawulira ettutumu lya Yesu
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 n’agamba abaweereza be nti, “Oyo ye Yokaana Omubatiza azuukidde mu bafu, era y’akola eby’amagero.”
And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves 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 laid hold on John, and bound him, and put [him] in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 kubanga Yokaana yagamba Kerode nti, “Si kituufu okusigula muka muganda wo n’omufuula owuwo.”
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 Kerode yali ayagala kumutta naye n’atya abantu kubanga baalowooza Yokaana okuba nnabbi.
And 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 was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Awo Kerode n’asuubiza omuwala ng’alayira okumuwa kyonna ky’anaamusaba.
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 Naye bwe yaweebwa nnyina amagezi, n’agamba nti, “Mpeera wano omutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatiza ku lusaniya.”
And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
9 Ekintu ekyo ne kinakuwaza nnyo kabaka. Naye olwokubanga yali yakisuubiza mu maaso g’abagenyi be, kyeyava alagira bagumuleetere.
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded [it] to be given [her].
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.
And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: 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.
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and 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.
When Jesus heard [of it], he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard [thereof], they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 Yesu bwe yava eyo n’alaba, abantu bangi n’abasaasira n’awonya abalwadde baabwe.
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he 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.”
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Tekyetaagisa kubasiibula, mmwe mubawe ekyokulya.”
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetulina kyakulya kiyinza kubamala, wabula tulinawo emigaati etaano gyokka n’ebyennyanja bibiri.”
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 N’abagamba nti, “Kale mubindetere wano.”
He said, Bring them hither 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.
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 brake, and gave the loaves to [his] disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta; obutundutundu obwafikkawo ne babukuŋŋaanya wamu ne bujjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri!
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 Abantu bonna abaalya baali ng’enkumi ttaano nga totaddeeko bakazi na baana.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
22 Amangwago Yesu n’alagira abayigirizwa be basaabale eryato bagende emitala w’ennyanja, ye asigale ng’akyasiibula abantu.
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto 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.
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 Eryato abayigirizwa mwe baali bwe lyatuuka ebuziba, omuyaga mungi ne gubafuluma mu maaso eryato ne lyesunda.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 Awo ku ssaawa nga mwenda ez’ekiro, Yesu n’ajja gye bali ng’atambula ku nnyanja.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 Naye abayigirizwa bwe baamulaba ng’atambulira ku nnyanja ne batya, nga balowooza nti muzimu.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 Awo amangwago Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mugume, Nze nzuuno temutya.”
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Obanga ye ggwe ddala Mukama waffe, ndagira nange nzije gy’oli nga ntambulira ku mazzi.”
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kale jjangu.” Peetero n’ava mu lyato n’atambulira ku mazzi okugenda eri Yesu.
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go 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 the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 Amangwago Yesu n’agolola omukono gwe n’amukwata, n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe alina okukkiriza okutono, lwaki obuusizzabuusizza?”
And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 Bwe baalinnya mu lyato omuyaga gwonna ne guggwaawo.
And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 N’abo abaali mu lyato ne bamusinza nga bagamba nti, “Ddala ddala oli Mwana wa Katonda!”
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 Bwe baasomoka ne bagukkira ku lukalu e Genesaleeti.
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 Abantu b’omu kitundu ekyo bwe baamutegeera ne batumya abalwadde bonna ne babamuleetera.
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36 Ne bamwegayirira waakiri bakomeko bukomi ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye, era buli eyakomako n’awonyezebwa.
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
