Mateo 14
1 Ɛberɛ no mu ara na Herode a na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Galilea no tee Yesu nka.
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
2 Ɔtee Yesu nka no, deɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ ne sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ obiara sɛ Yohane Osubɔni na wasɔre afiri awufoɔ mu. Yei enti na wanya tumi foforɔ de reyɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ yi.”
and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."
3 Saa ɛberɛ no na Herode ama wɔakyere Yohane Osubɔni ato afiase, ɛfiri sɛ, na wakasa atia Herodia ne Herode awadeɛ no
For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 sɛ, Herode aware ne nua Filipo yere.
For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
5 Herode pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yohane. Nanso na ɔsuro sɛ, sɛ ɔkum no a, basabasa bɛba ɔman no mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, na nnipa no nyinaa bu Yohane sɛ odiyifoɔ.
And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd because they regarded him as a prophet.
6 Ɛbaa sɛ na Herode redi nʼawoda. Awoda no ase Herodia babaa bɛsa ma ɛyɛɛ Herode fɛ.
But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
7 Yei maa Herode kaa ntam, hyɛɛ no bɔ sɛ, ɔmmisa deɛ ɔpɛ biara na ɔde bɛma no.
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Ababaawa yi maame Herodia tuu no fo sɛ, “Mmisa biribiara, gye sɛ Yohane ti a wɔatwa ato prɛte mu.”
And she, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
9 Herode tee asɛm yi no, ɛyɛɛ no ya, ma ɛhaa no. Nanso, ɛsiane ntam a waka wɔ nnipa a wɔahyia hɔ no anim no enti, ɔhyɛ ma wɔyɛɛ deɛ ababaawa no hwehwɛ no maa no.
And 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 Herode soma ma wɔkɔtwaa Yohane ti wɔ afiase hɔ.
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Wɔde ti a wɔatwa no too prɛte mu de brɛɛ ababaawa no maa ɔde kɔmaa ne maame.
And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the young woman: and she brought it to her mother.
12 Yohane asuafoɔ no bɛfaa nʼamu no kɔsiee no. Yei akyi, wɔkɔbɔɔ Yohane wuo no ho amaneɛ kyerɛɛ Yesu.
Then his disciples came, and took the dead body, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
13 Yesu tee Yohane Osubɔni wuo no, ɔtee ne ho kɔtenaa baabi a obiara nni hɔ. Nnipa tee ne nka maa wɔnam fam firi wɔn nkuro ne wɔn nkuraaseɛ tii no kɔɔ deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ.
Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 Yesu firii kodoɔ no mu baa deɛ nnipa no wɔ hɔ no. Ɔhunuu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn. Yei ma ɔsaa ayarefoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no yadeɛ.
And he went out, and he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
15 Anim rebiribiri no, Yesu asuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Adeɛ asa awie. Aduane biara nso nni ha. Ɛha nso mmɛn kuro biara. Enti gya nnipa no kwan, na wɔnkɔhwehwɛ aduane ntɔ nni wɔ nkuro no bi so.”
Now when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, "This place is desolate, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
16 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛho nhia sɛ wɔkɔ; momma wɔn aduane nni!”
But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
17 Asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Deɛ yɛwɔ nyinaa yɛ burodo enum ne mpataa mmienu pɛ.”
And they told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."
18 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa mmrɛ me.”
So he said, "Bring them here to me."
19 Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm no ma wɔtenatenaa ase wɔ ɛserɛ no so. Ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro bɔɔ mpaeɛ, hyiraa aduane no so. Afei, ɔbubuu mu de maa nʼasuafoɔ no ma wɔkyekyɛ maa nnipadɔm no.
Then he commanded the crowds 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 crowds.
20 Nnipa no dii aduane no maa obiara meeɛ! Afei, asuafoɔ no boaboaa deɛ wɔdi ma ɛkaeɛ no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛmma dumienu.
And they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Mmarima a wɔdii aduane no dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpemnum a mmaa ne mmɔfra nka ho.
Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Nnipadɔm no didi wieeɛ pɛ, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, wɔntena kodoɔ no mu nni ɛkan ntwa nkɔ asuogya nohoa na ɔno deɛ, ɔretena hɔ agya nnipa no kwan.
And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away.
23 Ɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan wieeɛ no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔ bi so kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ. Onwunu dwoeɛ no, na aka Yesu nko ara wɔ deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ.
And after he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24 Saa ɛberɛ no, na kodoɔ a na asuafoɔ no te mu no aduru akyiri. Mframa hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ denden maa ɛpo no bɔɔ asorɔkye dweradweraa kodoɔ no a na asuafoɔ no te mu no.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, battered by the waves, for the wind was against it.
25 Anɔpahema bɛyɛ nnɔnnan berɛ mu no, Yesu nam ɛpo no ani baa asuafoɔ no nkyɛn.
And in the watch between three and six in the morning, he came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no hunuu obi sɛ ɔnam nsuo no ani reba wɔn nkyɛn no wɔsuroeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsusu sɛ wɔahunu ɔsaman. Ɛmaa wɔde ehu teateaam.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost." and they screamed with fear.
27 Ntɛm ara, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me a. Monnsuro. Momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam!”
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
28 Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, sɛ ɛyɛ wo deɛ a, ka kyerɛ me, na me nso memfa nsuo no ani mmra wo nkyɛn.”
Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."
29 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Bra!” Petro firii kodoɔ no mu sii nsuo no ani, nantee sɛ ɔrekɔ Yesu nkyɛn.
He said, "Come." Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the water and went toward Jesus.
30 Nanso, ɔhunuu mframa a ɛrebɔ no, ne ho popoeɛ. Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ sɛ ɔremem. Ɔteateaam, frɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, gye me na meremem!”
But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he yelled, saying, "Lord, save me."
31 Ɛhɔ ara, Yesu tenee ne nsa twee no. Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Wo a wo gyidie sua, adɛn na wonnye me nnie?”
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
32 Yesu ne Petro kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu no, mframa no gyaee bɔ.
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ kodoɔ no mu no de ahodwirie bɛkotoo Yesu kaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ba ne wo ampa!”
Those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God."
34 Wɔtwaa asuo no baa Genesaret.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Yesu duruu hɔ no, ankyɛre na nkuro a atwa Genesaret ho ahyia no nyinaa tee ne nka. Wɔde wɔn ayarefoɔ nyinaa brɛɛ no.
When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,
36 Ayarefoɔ no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmma wɔmfa wɔn nsa nka nʼatadeɛ ano kɛkɛ. Ayarefoɔ dodoɔ a wɔtumi de wɔn nsa kaa nʼatadeɛ ano no ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were healed.
