UMathewu 14
1 Ngalesosikhathi uHerodi umtetrarki wezwa indumela kaJesu,
Bere no mu ara na Herode a na odi hene wɔ Galilea no tee Yesu nka,
2 wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Lo nguJohane uMbhabhathizi; yena uvukile kwabafileyo, kungakho-ke imisebenzi yamandla isebenza kuye.
na ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo ne se, “Oyi yɛ Osuboni Yohane na wasɔre afi awufo mu. Eyi nti na wanya tumi foforo de reyɛ anwonwade ahorow yi.”
3 Ngoba uHerodi wayembambile uJohane wambopha wamfaka entolongweni, ngenxa kaHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo;
Saa bere no na Herode ama wɔakyere Osuboni Yohane ato afiase, efisɛ na wakasa atia Herodia ne Herode aware no
4 ngoba uJohane wayethe kuye: Kawuvunyelwa ukuba laye.
sɛ, Herode aware ne nua Filipo yere.
5 Njalo efuna ukumbulala, wesaba ixuku, ngoba lalimphatha njengomprofethi.
Herode pɛɛ sɛ okum Yohane. Nanso na osuro sɛ, sɛ okum no a basabasayɛ bɛba ɔman no mu. Efisɛ na nnipa no nyinaa bu Yohane sɛ odiyifo.
6 Kodwa kwathi kugcinwa usuku lokuzalwa kukaHerodi, indodakazi kaHerodiyasi yagida phakathi kwabo, yamthokozisa uHerodi.
Ɛbaa sɛ na Herode redi nʼawoda. Awoda no ase na Herodia babea bɛsaw ma a ɛyɛɛ Herode fɛ.
7 Ngakho wathembisa ngesifungo ukuyinika loba yini ezayicela.
Eyi maa Herode kaa ntam, hyɛɛ no bɔ se ommisa nea ɔpɛ biara na ɔde bɛma no.
8 Kodwa yona, isilayiwe ngunina, yathi: Ngiphe lapha emganwini ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
Ne na maa no kae se, “Fa Osuboni Yohane ti a wɔatwa to prɛte mu ma me wɔ ha.”
9 Inkosi yasisiba losizi, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo langalabo ababehlezi layo ekudleni yalaya ukuthi inikwe.
Herode tee asɛm no, ɛyɛɛ no yaw ma ɛhaw no. Nanso esiane ntam a waka wɔ nnipa a wɔahyia hɔ no anim no nti, ɔhyɛ ma wɔyɛɛ nea ababaa no hwehwɛ no maa no.
10 Yasithuma yamquma uJohane ikhanda entolongweni.
Herode soma ma wokotwaa Yohane ti wɔ afiase hɔ.
11 Ikhanda lakhe laselilethwa ngomganu, lanikwa intombi; njalo yona yalisa kunina.
Wɔde ti a wɔatwa no too prɛte mu de brɛɛ ababaa no ma ɔde kɔmaa ne na.
12 Kwasekusiza abafundi bakhe bathatha isidumbu, basingcwaba; basebesuka bambikela uJesu.
Yohane asuafo no bɛfaa nʼamu no kosiee no. Eyi akyi no wɔkɔbɔɔ Yohane wu no ho amanneɛ kyerɛɛ Yesu.
13 UJesu esezwile wasuka lapho ngomkhumbi waya endaweni eyinkangala eyedwa; kodwa amaxuku ekuzwa amlandela ngenyawo evela emizini.
Yesu tee Osuboni Yohane wu no, ɔtew ne ho kɔtenaa baabi. Nnipa tee ne nka ma wɔnam fam fi wɔn nkurow ne wɔn nkuraa tiw no kɔɔ nea ɔwɔ hɔ.
14 UJesu esephumile wabona ixuku elikhulu, waba lesihelo ngabo, wasilisa abagulayo babo.
Yesu fii ɔkorow no mu baa nea nnipa no wɔ hɔ no. Ohuu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn. Eyi ma ɔsaa ayarefo a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no yare.
15 Kwathi sekuhlwile abafundi bakhe beza kuye, bathi: Lindawo iyinkangala, lesikhathi sesihambile; liyekele ixuku lihambe, ukuze baye emizaneni bazithengele ukudla.
Anim rebiribiri no, Yesu asuafo no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ade asa awie. Aduan biara nso nni ha. Ɛha nso mmɛn kurow biara. Enti gya nnipa no kwan, na wɔnkɔhwehwɛ aduan ntɔ nni wɔ nkurow no bi so.”
16 Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Kakuswelekanga ukuthi bahambe; banikeni lina ukuthi badle.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Ɛho nhia sɛ wɔkɔ; momma wɔn aduan nni!”
17 Kodwa bathi kuye: Kasila lapha ngaphandle kwezinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili.
Asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nea yɛwɔ nyinaa yɛ brodo anum ne mpataa abien pɛ.”
18 Wasesithi: Ziletheni lapha kimi.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momfa mmrɛ me.”
19 Waselaya amaxuku ukuthi ahlale phansi etshanini, wathatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, wakhangela phezulu ezulwini, wabusisa, esezihlephule wabanika abafundi izinkwa, labafundi bapha amaxuku.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm no ma wɔtenatenaa ase wɔ sare no so. Ɔhwɛɛ soro bɔɔ mpae, hyiraa aduan no so. Afei obubuu mu de maa nʼasuafo no ma wɔkyekyɛ maa nnipadɔm no.
20 Basebesidla bonke, basutha; badobha imvuthu ezazisele, izitsha ezigcweleyo ezilitshumi lambili.
Obiara dii nea wɔde maa no no mee pintinn. Afei asuafo no boaboaa nea wodi ma ɛkae no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛn dumien.
21 Lalabo abasebedlile babengamadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu, ngaphandle kwabesifazana labantwana.
Mmarima a wodii aduan no dodow bɛyɛ mpem anum a mmea ne mmofra no dodow nka ho.
22 Njalo uJesu wahle wacindezela abafundi bakhe ukuthi bangene emkhunjini, njalo bamqalele ukuya ngaphetsheya, esayekela amaxuku ahambe.
Nnipadɔm no didi wiee pɛ na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, wɔntena ɔkorow no mu nni kan ntwa nkɔ asuogya nohɔ na ɔno de, ɔretena hɔ agya nnipa no kwan.
23 Kwathi eseyekele amaxuku ahamba, wenyukela entabeni eyedwa ukuze akhuleke; kwathi sekuhlwile, wayeyedwa lapho.
Ogyaa wɔn kwan wiee no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔw bi so kɔbɔɔ mpae. Onwini dwoe no, na aka Yesu nko ara wɔ nea ɔwɔ hɔ.
24 Kodwa umkhumbi wawusuphakathi kolwandle, utshukunyiswa ngamagagasi; ngoba umoya wawuphambene labo.
Saa bere no na ɔkorow a asuafo no te mu no adu akyiri. Mframa fii ase bɔɔ dennen maa po no bɔɔ asorɔkye dwiradwiraa ɔkorow no a asuafo no te mu no.
25 Kwathi ngesikhathi somlindo wesine wobusuku uJesu weza kubo, ehamba phezu kolwandle.
Anɔpahema bɛyɛ nnɔnnan bere mu no, Yesu nantew po no ani baa asuafo no nkyɛn.
26 Kodwa kwathi abafundi bembona ehamba phezu kolwandle bethuka, bathi: Lithonga. Basebekhala ngokwesaba.
Bere a asuafo no huu obi sɛ ɔnam asu no ani reba wɔn nkyɛn no wosuroe, efisɛ na wosusuw sɛ wɔahu ɔsaman. Ɛmaa wɔde hu teɛteɛɛ mu.
27 Kodwa uJesu wahle wakhuluma labo, wathi: Manini isibindi; yimi; lingesabi.
Ntɛm ara na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛyɛ me. Munnsuro. Momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam!”
28 UPetro wasemphendula wathi: Nkosi, uba kunguwe, ngilaya ukuthi ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, sɛ ɛyɛ wo de a, ka kyerɛ me na me nso memfa asu no ani mmra wo nkyɛn.”
29 Wasesithi: Woza. UPetro wasesehla emkhunjini wahamba phezu kwamanzi, ukuze aye kuJesu.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro se, “Bra!” Petro fii ɔkorow no mu sii asu no ani, nantew sɛ ɔrekɔ Yesu nkyɛn.
30 Kodwa ebona umoya olamandla wesaba; wathi eseqala ukutshona wakhala, wathi: Nkosi, ngisindisa!
Nanso ohuu mframa a ɛrebɔ no ne ho popoe. Ofii ase sɛ ɔremem. Ɔteɛteɛɛ mu, frɛɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, gye me na meremem!”
31 Njalo uJesu wahle welula isandla, wambamba, wathi kuye: Wena olokukholwa okuncinyane, uthandabuzelani?
Ɛhɔ ara, Yesu teɛɛ ne nsa twee no. Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Petro se, “Wo a wo gyidi sua, adɛn na wunnye me nni?”
32 Sebengenile emkhunjini, umoya wathula.
Yesu ne Petro kɔtenaa ɔkorow no mu no, mframa no gyaee bɔ.
33 Abasemkhunjini basebesiza bamkhonza bathi: Ngeqiniso wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Asuafo a wɔwɔ ɔkorow no mu no de ahodwiriw bɛkotow Yesu kae se, “Onyankopɔn Ba ne wo ampa!”
34 Kwathi sebechaphile bafika elizweni leGenesaretha.
Wotwaa asu no baa Genesaret.
35 Esemazi amadoda akuleyondawo athumela ilizwi kuso sonke lesosigaba esizingelezeleyo, aletha kuye bonke abagulayo.
Yesu duu hɔ no, ankyɛ na nkurow a atwa Genesaret ho ahyia no nyinaa tee ne nka. Wɔde wɔn ayarefo nyinaa brɛɛ no.
36 Basebemncenga, ukuthi bathinte nje umphetho wesembatho sakhe; njalo bonke abathintayo basiliswa.
Ayarefo no srɛɛ Yesu se ɔmma wɔmfa wɔn nsa nka nʼatade ano kɛkɛ. Ayarefo dodow a wotumi de wɔn nsa kaa nʼatade ano no ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
