Matayu 14
1 Shipindi shilii mkulu gwa Galilaya Herodi kapikaniriti visoweru vya Yesu.
At that time Prince Herod heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 Nakaka ndo Yohani Mbatiza, ayu kazyuka kulawa kwa wahowiti, “kawagambira maafisa, ayi ndo toziya kana likakala lwa kutenda mauzauza.”
and said to his attendants, ‘This must be John the Baptist; he must be risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.’
3 Herodi ndo yakalagaliriti kuwera Yohani wamkamuli, wamtawi pingu na kumtula mushibetubetu. Katenditi hangu toziya ya Herodiya mdala gwa Filipi mlongu gwakuwi.
For Herod had arrested John, put him in chains, and shut him up in prison, to please Herodias, the wife of Herod’s brother Philip.
4 Toziya Yohani Mbatiza kaweriti kankumgambira Herodi, “Iherepa ndiri gwenga kumyuga Herodiya!”
For John had said to him “You have no right to be living with her.”
5 Herodi kafiriti kumlaga Yohani Mbatiza, kumbiti katiliti wantu wa Shiyawudi toziya Yohani Mbatiza womberi wamwoniti kuwera mbuyi gwa Mlungu.
Yet, though Herod wanted to put him to death, he was afraid of the people, because they looked on John as a prophet.
6 Mumsambu gwa kulihola kwiwuka kwa Herodi, muhinga gwa Herodiya, kaviniti kulongolu kwa wahenga woseri. Herodi kanemeleriti nentu
But, when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before his guests, and so pleased Herod,
7 su kamgambiriti, “Nulirapi, hanukupi shoseri shagunduwa!”
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8 Mawu gwa muhinga ulii kamhimiziyiti muhinga gwakuwi kamgambiri tati gwakuwi kulonga, “Gunupi palaa panu muluseru mtuwi gwa Yohani Mbatiza!”
Prompted by her mother, the girl said “Give me here, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.”
9 Ata hangu mfalumi kahinginikiti, kumbiti toziya ya kulirapilira kwakuwi kulongolu kwa wahenga, kalagaliriti wamupi mtuwi muhinga ulii.
The king was distressed at this; yet, because of his oath and of the guests at his table, he ordered it to be given her.
10 Su kalagalira Yohani kadumulwi mtuwi mushibetubetu.
He had John beheaded in the prison
11 Mtuwi gwa Yohani wagujega muluseru na kumupa muhinga ulii, nayomberi kagujega kwa mawu gwakuwi.
and his head was brought on a dish and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother.
12 Wafundwa wa Yohani wiza, wayitoliti nshimba ya Yohani na kuyisira, shakapanu wagenditi kwa Yesu na kumgambira.
Then John’s disciples came, and took the body away, and buried it; and went and told Jesus.
13 Yesu pakapikaniriti shisoweru kuusu Yohani, kawukiti pahala palii mumtumbwi na kagenditi pahala pa gweka. Wantu wapikiniriti aga, wamgendera Yesu kulawa lushi zyawu na wamfata kwa magulu.
When Jesus heard of it, he left privately in a boat to a lonely spot. The people, however, heard of his going, and followed him in crowds from the towns on foot.
14 Yesu pakasulukiti kulawa mumtumbwi na pakaliwoniti lipinga likulu lya wantu, Kawawoneriti lusungu na kawaponiziyiti woseri yawaweriti walwala.
On getting out of the boat, Jesus saw a great crowd, and his heart was moved at the sight of them; and he cured all the sick among them.
15 Pamihi, wafundwa wakuwi wamgendereti Yesu na walonga, “Saa zigenda kala na pahala panu pagweka. Guwalekeziyi wantu wagendi zawu naguwaleki wagendi muvijiji wakahemeri viboga.”
In the evening the disciples came up to him, and said, ‘This is a lonely spot, and the day is now far advanced; send the crowds away so that they can go to the villages, and buy themselves food.’
16 Yesu kawagambira, “Hapeni wawuki, mwenga muwayupi vintu vya kuliya!”
But Jesus said, ‘They need not go away, it is for you to give them something to eat.’
17 Womberi wamwankula, “Twana mabumunda muhanu na wasomba wawili hera.”
‘We have nothing here,’ they said, ‘except five loaves and two fish.’
18 Yesu kalonga, “Su munjegeli panu.”
‘Bring them here to me,’ was his reply.
19 Kawagambira wantu walivagi pasi mumihamba, shakapanu katola mabumunda muhanu na wasomba wawili, kalola kumpindi kwa Mlungu, kalonga mayagashii Mlungu. Kagamega mabumunda na kawapanana wafundwa wakuwi na wafundwa wawapanani wantu.
Jesus ordered the people to take their seats on the grass; and, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and said the blessing, and, after he had broken the loaves, gave them to his disciples; and they gave them to the crowds.
20 Kila muntu kaliya na kwikuta. Shakapanu wafundwa wajojinira majamanda lilongu na mbili ga vyavisigaliti.
Everyone had sufficient to eat, and they picked up enough of the broken pieces that were left to fill twelve baskets.
21 Kwa wantu woseri yawaliyiti, wapalu hera waweriti elufu muhanu pota kuwawalanga wadala na wana.
The men who ate were about five thousand in number, without counting women and children.
22 Pala palii Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi wakweni mumtumbwi na wamlongoleri kuloka kumwambu kulitanda, shipindi yomberi kankuwaaga wantu.
Immediately afterwards Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and cross over in advance of him, while he dismissed the crowds.
23 Pakawaagiti kala, mweni kakweniti kulugongu kugenda kumluwa Mlungu. Payisokiti pamihi, Yesu kaweriti gweka yakuwi kulii,
After dismissing the crowds, he went up the hill by himself to pray; and, when evening fell, he was there alone.
24 na shipindi ashi mtumbwi guweriti kala patali pa litanda, guweriti gugenda usegausega toziya lihega liweriti lyankuguyumbisiya.
The boat was by this time some miles from shore, labouring in the waves, for the wind was against her.
25 Payiweriti luhunjuhunju Yesu kawagendiriti wafundwa wakuwi, pakagendagenda pampindi pamashi.
Three hours after midnight, however, Jesus came towards the disciples, walking on the water.
26 Wafundwa wakuwi pawamwoniti pakagendagenda pampindi pamashi, watiliti nentu. Womberi washowangana pawalonga, “Shihoka ayu!”
But, when they saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. ‘It is a ghost,’ they exclaimed, and cried out in fear.
27 Pala palii Yesu kawagambira womberi, “Namtira, ndo neni!”
But Jesus at once spoke to them. ‘Courage!’ he said, ‘It is I; do not be afraid!’
28 Shakapanu Peteru katakula, “Mtuwa, handa nakaka ndo gwenga gung'ambiri neni nizi kwa gwenga pamashi.”
‘Master,’ Peter exclaimed, ‘if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water.’
29 Yesu kamgambira, “Gwizi!” Su Peteru kasuluka kulawa mumtumbwi na kamgendera Yesu pakagendagenda pampindi pamashi.
Jesus said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got down from the boat, and walked on the water, and went towards Jesus;
30 Kumbiti pakawoniti liyega, kaweriti na lyoga su kanjiti kudidimila mumashi. Shakapanu kalila pakalonga, “Mtuwa! Gumponiziyi.”
but, when he felt the wind, he was frightened, and, beginning to sink, cried out, ‘Master! Save me!’
31 Palaa palii Yesu kalitalipisiya liwoku lyakuwi kamkola na kumgambira, “Ntambu yaguhera njimiru! Iwera hashi gwana lyoga?”
Instantly Jesus stretched out his hand, and caught hold of him. ‘You of little faith!’ he said, ‘Why did you falter?’
32 Woseri wakwena mumtumbwi, na liyega linyamalira.
When they had got into the boat, the wind dropped.
33 Shakapanu wafundwa mumtumbwi wamguwira Yesu pawalonga, “Nakaka gwenga gwa Mwana gwa Mlungu!”
But the men in the boat threw themselves on their faces before him, and said, ‘You are indeed God’s Son.’
34 Waloka litanda na kusoka lushi lwa Genezareti,
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
35 pahala wantu woseri wamumaniti Yesu. Su wawajega wantu yawalwala kulawa lushi zoseri za pakwegera na wamjegera Yesu.
But the people of that place, recognising Jesus, sent out to the whole country round, and brought to him all who were ill,
36 Wamluwa kawajimiri woseri yawalwaliti wapati kushinkula luwiniku lwa nguwu yakuwi na woseri yawashinkuliti waweriti wakomu.
begging him merely to let them touch the tassel of his cloak; and all who touched were made perfectly well.
