Mataayi 14
1 Unsiki ghula untwa UHelode alyapuliike imhola sa Yesu.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
2 Pe akavavuula avavombi vaake akati, “Ujuo ghwe Yohani uMwofughi, asyukile kuhuma ku vafue, fye nambe ali ni ngufu isa kuvomba ifidegho.”
and said to his servants, “This man is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and that is why these mighty powers are at work in him.”
3 UHelode alyajovile enendiiki ulwakuva alyankolile uYohani, akankunga na kukun'dindila mu ndinde. UYohani alyadindilue mu vwimila uHelodia un'dala ghwa Filipo, unnuuna ghwa Helode.
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 Alyadindilue mu ndinde ulwakuva alyam'bulile luno nalunoghiile mu ndaghilo sa Nguluve.”
For John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for yoʋ to have her.”
5 UHelode ujuo akalondagha kukum'buda uYohani neke akoghopagha avaanhu ulwakuva valyankagwile uYohani kuuti m'bili.
Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.
6 Lino, pa kikulukulu ikya kukumbuka kuholua untwa uHelode, umwalive ghwa Helodia akaseeja pamaso gha vahesia. Umhinja ujuo akamhovosia fiijo UHelode,
But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests and pleased Herod.
7 Kuhanga akajiigha kukumpela kino ilonda kusuuma.
So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8 Neke umhinja jula akahongua nu ng'ina ikya kusuuma, akam'buula uHelode akati, “Nilonda umheele lino lino umutu ghwa Yohani uMwafughi mu lisinia.”
Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
9 Untwa uHelode akasukunala kyongo. Neke ulwakuva akajighile pamaaso gha vahesia vala, akalaghila kuuti umhinja jula apelue.
The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he commanded it to be given
10 Pe akasuung'ha umuunhu alute mu ndinde adumule umutu ghwa Yohani.
and sent orders to have John beheaded in prison.
11 Umutu ghwa Yohani ghukaletua mu lisinia, akapelua umhunja jula, ghwope akampeela ung'ina.
John's head was then brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12 Pepano avavulanisivua va Yohani vakaluta, vakatoola um'bili ghwa Yohani, vakaghuviika mu mbiipa. Pe vakaluta kukum'buula uYesu imhola jila.
Later, John's disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and brought word to Jesus.
13 UYesu ye apuliike imhola ijio, akavuuka pala ni ngalava na kuluta pamonga pa vusyefu. Neke avaanhu ye vapuliike kuuti uYesu avukile pala, vakahuma mu makaaja ghaave, vakaghenda lughulu, vikum'bingilila uYesu kuno alutile.
When Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But the crowds heard about it and followed him on foot from the towns.
14 UYesu ye ikwika mu ngalava, akalivona ilipugha ilivaha ilya vaanhu, akavavonela ikisa, akavasosia avatamu vaave.
And when Jesus went ashore and saw a large crowd, he was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick.
15 Ye vwilile, avavulanisivua vaake vakaluta pa mwene vakam'buula vakati, “apa tukalile pe lunyika pasila kimonga, kange vwimile uvatavule avaanhu ava valutaghe mu fikaaja kuuti vakaghule ifyakulia.”
As evening approached, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is desolate, and the hour is now late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 UYesu akavamula akati, “Nakwekuti umpaka aveene avavuuke, muvapeele umue ikyakulia.”
But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away; you give them something to eat.”
17 Aveene vakamula vakati, “Natuli ni kimonga apa, looli ghali gha makate ghahaano ni samaki ivili.”
They said to him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 UYesu akavavuula akati, “Muleete apa”
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Pepano akavavuula avaanhu kuuti vikale pa lisoli. Pe akatoola amakate ghala ghahaano ni samaki sila ivili, akalolla kukyanya, akamhongesia uNguluve. Pe akamenyulania amakate ghala, akavapeela avavulanisivua vaake, voope vakavaghavilaavaanhu.
Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said the blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
20 Avaanhu vakalia, vakikuta. Avavulanisivua vaake vakakong'hania ifisighasi, sikamema indiilo kijigho ni vili.
They all ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21 Avaanhu vano valyaliile, avakinhaata veene valyale imbilima ihaano, kisila kuvala avakijuuva na vaana.
Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Unsiki ghughuo, UYesu akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake kuuti vingile mu ngalava, valongole kuluta imwambo ijingi, pano umwene itavula ilipugha lya vaanhu kuuti valutaghe.
Immediately Jesus compelled the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side of the sea, while he sent the crowds away.
23 Ye avatavwile, akaluta mwene ku kilunda kukufunya. Ing'hiisi jikatengula, ajiighe mwene ku kidunda.
After sending the crowds away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
24 Unsiki ughuo ingalava jila jikava jifikile pakate pa lisumbe, jitovua na mavingo, ulwakuva imhepo imbaha jikasighagha kuno viluta.
Meanwhile, the boat was already in the middle of the sea, being tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 Ye kutapihenga, uYesu akaluta ku vavulanisivua vaake, ighenda pakyanya pa malenga.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 Neke avavulanisivua vaake ye vikumwagha ighenda pakyanya pa malenga, vakoghopa kyongo, vakakoola vakati, “Ilisyuka”.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.
27 Unsiki ghughuo uYesu akavavuula akati, “Kangala, neene, namungoghopaghe”
But Jesus immediately said to them, “Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.”
28 Pe uPeteli akam'buula akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, nave lweli veeve, umbuule niise palyuve nighende pakyanya pa malenga.”
In response Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is yoʋ, command me to come to yoʋ on the water.”
29 UYesu akamwamula akati, “Isa” pe uPeteli akiikka mu ngalava jila, akatengula pighenda pakyanya pa malenga, iluta kwa Yesu.
So he said, “Come.” Then Peter got down from the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 Neke ye ivona imhepo imbaha jigugula, akaghopa kyongo, akatengulakundwiila. Pe akakoola akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, umhooke!'
But when he saw the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Nakalingi, UYesu akagholosia uluvoko lwake, akankola, akam'buula akati, “Ghwe nya lwitiko ludebe uve, kiki uli ni nganighani?
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “O yoʋ of little faith, why did yoʋ doubt?”
32 Pepano uYesu nu uPeteli vakingila mu ngalava, imhepo jila jikalitima.
And when they had gotten into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 avavulanisivua vano valyale mu ngalava, vakamwimika uYesu vakati, “kyang'haani, uve uli Mwana ghwa Nguluve!'
Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “Truly yoʋ are the Son of God.”
34 UYesu na vavulanisivua vaake vakalovoka ilisumbe ilya Galilaya, vakafika mu iisi ija Genesaleti.
When they had crossed the sea, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Avaanhu ava pala ye vakagwila kuuti ghwe Yesu, vakatwala imhola imbale sooni. Pepano avaanhu vakavatwala avatamu vooni kwa Yesu,
And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word into the entire surrounding region, and people brought to him all who were sick.
36 Vakansuuma avitikisie avatamu vabasie lu luvilo lwa mwenda ghwake. Avatamu vooni vano vakabasyagha, vakasokagha.
They begged him to let the sick touch even the fringe of his garment, and all who touched it were completely healed.
