Mathaio 14
1 Mme erile fa Kgosi Herode a utlwa kaga Jesu,
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
2 A raya banna ba gagwe a re, “Yo e tshwanetse ya bo e le Johane wa Mokolobetsi a rudile. Ke gone ka mo a kgonang go dira dikgakgamatso.”
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 Gonne Herode o na a tshwere Johane a mo golegile ka dikeetane mo kgolegelong ka topo ya mosadi wa gagwe Herodiase mosadi yo o kileng a bo a le wa ga Filipo morwarraagwe,
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 gonne Johane o ne a mo reile a re, ga go a siama gore a mo nyale.
For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 O ka bo a ne a bolaya Johane mme o ne a boifa mokubukubu o batho ba ka o tsosang, ka gore batho botlhe ba ne ba dumela gore Johane ke moporofiti.
When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Mme ya re ka mokete wa botsalo jwa ga Herode, morwadia Herodiase a bina mo go neng ga kgatlha Herode thata,
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
7 hong a mo solofetsa ka ikano gore o tlaa mo naya le fa e le eng se o tlaa se lopang.
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Jalo he, ka go tlhotlhelediwa ke mmaagwe, ngwanyana a kopa tlhogo ya ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi e le mo mogotswaneng.
She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
9 Kgosi e ne ya utlwa botlhoko, mme ka ntlha ya ikano ya yone, gape ka gore e ne e sa batle go boela lefoko la yone ka morago fa pele ga balalediwa, ya ntsha taolo ya gore go dirwe jalo.
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 Jalo, Johane a kgaolwa tlhogo a le mo kgolegelong,
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 tlhogo ya gagwe ya leriwe ka mogotswana, ya neelwa morweetsana yo o neng a e isa kwa go mmaagwe.
His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
12 Hong barutwa ba ga Johane ba tla go tsaya setopo sa gagwe go ya go se boloka mme ba ya go bolelela Jesu se se diragetseng.
His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 Mme erile fela fa Jesu a utlwa mafoko a, a tsamaya ka boene ka mokoro go ya kwa thoko go nna a le nosi. Mme bontsintsi jwa bona kwa o neng a ya teng, mme ba mo sala morago ka dinao ba tswa mo magaeng a mantsi.
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 Hong ya re Jesu a tswa mo nageng, bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa batho jwa bo bo mo letile mme a ba tlhomogela pelo a ba a fodisa balwetse.
Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 Maitseboeng ao barutwa ba gagwe ba tla kwa go ene ba re, “Lobaka lwa dijo lo setse lo fetile, mme ga gona sepe se se ka jewang fano mo sekakeng; phatlalatsa bontsintsi jwa batho gore ba ye mo magaeng ba reke dijo!”
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 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Mo ga go tlhokafale, ba feng dijo!”
But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Mme ba mo raya ba re, “Ga tweng! Re na le dinkgwe di le tlhano tse di nnye le ditlhapi di le pedi!”
They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 Jesu a ba raya a re, “Di lereng kwano.”
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Hong a raya batho a re ba nne fa fatshe mo bojannyeng mme a tsaya dinkgwe tse tlhano le ditlhapi tse pedi, a leba kwa godimo mo loaping a kopela dijo tshegofatso ya Modimo, hong a ngathoganya dinkgwe a di neela barutwa ba gagwe go di abela batho.
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 Mme mongwe le mongwe a ja go fitlhelela a kgora! Mme erile ba sela masalela kwa morago, ga sala diroto di le lesome le bobedi tse di tletseng.
They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 E ne e ka nna banna ba le dikete tse tlhano mo bontsintsing jwa batho tsatsing leo, kwa ntle ga basadi le bana.
Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 Ka bofefo morago ga moo, Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re ba tsene mo mokorong go kgabaganyetsa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha fa a sa ntse a phatlalaletsa batho kwa gae.
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 Morago ga moo a tlhatloga dithaba go ya go rapela. Bosigo jwa tla, mme kwa lecheng barutwa ba ne ba le mo matshwenyegong. Gonne phefo e ne e tsogile ba tshwere bothata mo mawatleng a a sa sisibalang.
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.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Erile e ka nna nako ya bone mo mosong, Jesu a tla kwa go bone a tsamaya mo godimo ga metse.
In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Ba gowa ka letshogo gonne ba ne ba gopola gore ke sepoko.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 Mme Jesu ka bofefo a bua nabo a ba nametsa. A re, “Ke nna se boifeng!”
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Do not be afraid.”
28 Hong Petoro a mo fetola a re, “Rra, fa o le ene tota, nthaya ke tle kwa go wena ke tsamaya mo godimo ga metse.”
Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 Mme Morena a re, “Go siame, tla kwano.” Hong Petoro a fologa mokoro a tsamaya fa godimo ga metsi a ya kwa go Jesu.
He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
30 Mme erile fa a leba kwa godimo, a tshoga mme a simolola go nwela. A gowa a re, “Mpoloka Morena!”
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 Gone fela foo Jesu a otlolola lebogo a mmoloka. Jesu a re, “A motho wa tumelo e potlana, ke eng fa o no o belaela.
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Mme fa ba sena go palama mo mokorong, phefo ya didimala?”
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Ba bangwe ba nna ba tseanye, ba goa ba re, “O Morwa Modimo tota!”
Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
34 Mme ba fitlha kwa Genesareta.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Dikgang tsa go goroga ga bone tsa anama ka bofefo mo tikologong yotlhe ya motse, mme ka bofefo batho botlhe ba tswa mo motseng ba ya go bolelela batho gore ba lere balwetse ba bone go tla go fodisiwa.
When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
36 Balwetse ba mo kopa gore a ba letlelele go ama momeno wa seaparo sa gagwe, mme botlhe ba ba neng ba ama momeno wa seaparo sa gagwe ba fodisiwa.
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
