Matthew 14
1 Mu thangu yina nyadi Elode, wuwa tsangu yi Yesu.
At that [very] time heard Herod the tetrarch the news of Jesus
2 Wukamba bisadi biandi: —Mutu wowo niandi Yowani Mbotiki, wufulukidi mu bafua, diawu kadidi lulendo lu vangila bikumu.
and he said to the servants of him; This is John the Baptist; he himself is risen from the dead, and because of this the miraculous powers are working in him.
3 Bila Elode wukangisa Yowani ayi wunkangisa mu zisieni bosi wunkotisa mu nloko mu diambu di Elodiasi nketo wu khombꞌandi Filipi.
For Herod having seized John he bound him and in (*o*) prison (put [him] aside *N(k)O*) on account of Herodias the wife of Philip the brother of him.
4 Bila Yowani wuba tubidilanga Elode ti: —Wisi ko minsua mu kunkuela.
Were saying for John to him; Not it is lawful for you to have her.
5 Elode wuba tombanga kumvondisa, vayi nkangu wu batu kaba ntinanga bila batu baba monanga ti Yowani widi mbikudi.
Although wishing him to kill he feared the multitude because as a prophet him they were holding.
6 Vayi mu lumbu ki nyengo wu mbutukulu wu Elode, muana wu nketo wu Elodiasi wukina va meso ma batu bobo batumusu ayi wumonisa Elode khini.
([The] birthday *N(k)O*) now (having happened *N(k)O*) of Herod danced the daughter of Herodias in the midst and pleased Herod;
7 Diawu kamvanina tsila mu leva ndefi ti mankamvana kima kioso kioki kanlomba.
whereupon with oath he promised to her to give whatever (if *NK(o)*) she shall ask.
8 Mu diambu di zindongi zi ngudi andi, diawu kankambila: —Phani vava mu dilonga ntu wu Yowani Mbotiki.
And having been urged on by the mother of her; do give to me she says here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
9 Ntinu wumona kiadi kiwombo. Vayi mu diambu di ndefi yi kaleva ayi mu diambu di batu bobo bavuanda yandi va meza, buna wuvana lutumu ti bamvana wawu.
And (being grieved *N(k)O*) the king on account of (now *k*) the oaths and those reclining with [him] he commanded [it] to be given.
10 Buna wutuma mutu ku nloko muingi kenda zengi ntu wu Yowani.
And he having sent beheaded John in the prison.
11 Banata ntu andi mu dilonga ayi bavana wawu kuidi muana ndumba. Niandi wuyenda kuwuvana kuidi ngudi andi.
And was brought the head of him on a platter and was given to the girl, and she brought [it] to the mother of her.
12 Minlonguki mi Yowani miyiza bonga nituꞌandi ayi mizika yawu, bosi miyenda vumbudila Yesu kipholo.
And having come the disciples of him took the (body *N(k)O*) and buried (it, *N(k)O*) and having come they told Jesus.
13 Yesu bu kawa nsamu beni, wukatuka kuna mu nlungu ayi wuyenda niandi veka ku buangu kikondolo batu. Vayi thangu nkangu wu batu bu wuwa wawu; batotuka mu mavula mawu ayi banlandakana mu malu.
(and *k*) Having heard (now *no*) Jesus withdrew from there by boat to a secluded place apart [on his] own. And having heard [of it] the crowds followed Him on foot from the towns.
14 Yesu bu kakuluka mu nlungu, wumona nkangu wu batu bawombo. Wuba mona kiadi kiwombo ayi wubelusa bimbevo biawu.
And having gone out (Jesus *k*) He saw great a crowd and was moved with compassion toward (them *N(k)O*) and healed the sick of them.
15 Mu thangu masika, minlonguki miyiza va kaba ayi minkamba: —Va buangu kikambulu batu tuidi bosi buisi bueka yila, diawu vutula batu baba mu mala muingi benda sumbi bidia!
Evening now having come they came to Him the disciples (of him *k*) saying; Desolate is this place, and the time already is gone by; do dismiss the crowds that having gone into the villages they may buy for themselves food.
16 Vayi Yesu wuba kamba: —Basi mfunu mu kuenda ko, luba vananu beno veka bidia!
And Jesus said to them; No need they have to go away; do give to them you yourselves to eat.
17 Buna bawu bamvutudila: —Tala, mapha matanu ayi zimbizi zizole zi nlangu kaka zidi yeto vava.
And they say to Him; Not we have here only except five loaves and two fish.
18 Yesu wuba kamba: —Lundatina biawu vava.
And He said; do bring to Me here them.
19 Bosi wutuma nkangu wu batu wuvuanda va biti, wubonga mapha matanu beni ayi zimbizi zizole, wuvumbula meso ku yilu ayi wuvutula matondo. Wubukuna mapha beni ayi wuvana mawu kuidi minlonguki ayi miawu mikabudila nkangu wu batu.
And having commanded the crowds to sit down on (the grass, *N(k)O*) (and *k*) having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven He spoke a blessing, and having broken He gave to the disciples the loaves, and the disciples to the crowds.
20 Bawu boso badia ayi bayukuta. Batota bitini bisiadidila ayi biwesa kumi bipani biodi.
And ate all and were satisfied; and they took up that which is remaindering of the fragments, twelve hand-baskets full.
21 Baboso badia baba nduka-nduka mili tanu yi babakala. Kadi tanga baketo ayi bana.
Those then eating were men about five thousand besides women and children.
22 Ku nzimunina Yesu wutuma minlonguki miandi mu kuma mu nlungu ayi mintuaminina ku disimu dinkaka. Niandi wusiala mu sindika nkangu wu batu.
And immediately He compelled (Jesus *k*) the disciples (of him *k*) to climb into the boat and to go before Him to the other side until that He may have dismissed the crowds.
23 Thangu kamana sindika nkangu wu batu, wukuma ku mongo muingi kenda sambila va buangu ki niandi veka. Nate buisi buyila buna wukidi kuna niandi veka kaka.
And having dismissed the crowds He went up on the mountain on [his] own to pray. Evening now having arrived alone He was there.
24 Mu thangu yina nlungu wutula va khatitsika mbu, wunikunu kuidi mayo bila muphepi wudengana nlungu.
And the boat now (stadia many *NO*) (from *N(K)O*) of the (land was fully *N(K)O*) being tossed by the waves; was for contrary [was] the wind.
25 Mu thangu yi nya yi builu, Yesu wuyenda ku baba vayi wudiatila va mbata mbu.
In [the] fourth now watch of the night (he came *N(K)O*) to them (Jesus *k*) walking on (the sea. *N(k)O*)
26 Minlonguki bu mimmona wulembo diatila va mbata mbu, mimona boma ayi mituba: —Tala nkuyu e! Ayi mitona yamikina mu diambu di boma.
(and *N(k)O*) the disciples having seen Him on (the sea *N(k)O*) walking they were troubled saying that A ghost it is! And in fear they cried out.
27 Bosi Yesu wuba kamba: —Bika lukinda, bila minu kuandi; bikanu mona boma.
Immediately now spoke Jesus to them saying; Take courage! I myself it is, not do fear.
28 Buna Piela wunkamba: —A Pfumu e! Enati bukiedika ngeyo kuandi, buna wukhamba ndiza kuidi ngeyo va mbata nlangu.
Answering now to Him Peter said: Lord, if You yourself [it] is, do command me to come to You upon the waters.
29 Yesu wunkamba: —Yiza! Piela wutotuka mu nlungu, ayi wutona diata va mbata nlangu muingi kenda kuidi Yesu.
And He said; do come. And having descended from the boat Peter walked upon the water (and *no*) (came *N(k)O*) to Jesus.
30 Vayi bu kamona ti muphepi widi wu ngolo buna wumona boma. Bu katona diama, wuyamikina: —A! Pfumu! Wumvukisa e…!
Seeing now the wind charging he was afraid, and having begun to sink he cried out saying; Lord, do save me!
31 Bosi Yesu wunonuna koko, wunsimba ayi wunkamba: —Mutu wu minu kifioti, bila mbi memitini e?
Immediately now Jesus having stretched out the hand took hold of him and He says to him; [You] of little faith, of why did you doubt?
32 Bakuma bawu buadi mu nlungu ayi vuka kimanisa.
And (when were climbing *N(k)O*) they into the boat ceased the wind.
33 Bobo baba mu nlungu bafukama va ntualꞌandi ayi batuba: —Bukiedika widi Muana Nzambi!
Those then in the boat (having come *ko*) worshiped Him saying; Truly of God Son You are!
34 Buna bamana sabuka mbu; batula mu tsi Ngenezaleti.
And having crossed over they came (into *NK(o)*) the land (of *no*) Gennesaret.
35 Batu ba tsi yina, batembikisa tsangu mu zunga kina. Bosi batu bannatina bambevo ziawu zioso.
And having recognized Him the men of the place that one sent to all surrounding region that and brought to Him all those sick being
36 Banleba ti kabika basimba kaka tsongi yi yunga kiandi. Babo bobo bansimba babeluka.
and they were begging Him that only they may touch the fringe of the garment of Him; and as many as touched were cured.
