Mathaio 14
1 Mme erile fa Kgosi Herode a utlwa kaga Jesu,
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of 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 he said to his servants: This is John The Immerser; he has risen from the dead; and for this reason the powers of the spiritual world are active within 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 laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
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.
And he intended to put him to death, but feared the multitude, because they regarded 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 was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, 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.
Wherefore he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she would ask.
8 Jalo he, ka go tlhotlhelediwa ke mmaagwe, ngwanyana a kopa tlhogo ya ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi e le mo mogotswaneng.
And being previously instigated by her mother, she said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Immerser?
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.
And the king was grieved: but on account of his oath, and those who reclined at 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.
And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the maiden: and she carried 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.
And his disciples came and took away the body, and buried it; and 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.
And when Jesus heard of it, he withdrew from that place, by ship, into a desert place apart: and the multitudes, when they heard of his departure, 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.
And when Jesus came out, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion for them, and cured 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!”
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past; 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 need not go away; do you give them food.
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 said to him: We have here but five loaves and two fishes.
18 Jesu a ba raya a re, “Di lereng kwano.”
He said: Bring them hither 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.
And he commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass: and he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke, and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it 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.
And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what remained of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21 E ne e ka nna banna ba le dikete tse tlhano mo bontsintsing jwa batho tsatsing leo, kwa ntle ga basadi le bana.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides 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.
And he immediately constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and go before him to the opposite 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.
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when evening came, he was there alone.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 Erile e ka nna nako ya bone mo mosong, Jesu a tla kwa go bone a tsamaya mo godimo ga metse.
And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Ba gowa ka letshogo gonne ba ne ba gopola gore ke sepoko.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were alarmed, and said: It is a specter! and they cried out for fear.
27 Mme Jesu ka bofefo a bua nabo a ba nametsa. A re, “Ke nna se boifeng!”
But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Take courage; it is I; be not 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.”
And Peter answered him, and said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.
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.
And he said: Come. And Peter went down from the ship, and walked upon the water to go 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 the wind 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.
And Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and said to him: O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
32 Mme fa ba sena go palama mo mokorong, phefo ya didimala?”
And when they had entered the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Ba bangwe ba nna ba tseanye, ba goa ba re, “O Morwa Modimo tota!”
And they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying: Truly, thou art the Son of God.
34 Mme ba fitlha kwa Genesareta.
And when they had passed over, they came into 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.
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the neighboring country, and brought to him all that 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 besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his mantle; and as many as touched were perfectly saved.
