Matthew 14
1 Mu thangu yina nyadi Elode, wuwa tsangu yi Yesu.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 Wukamba bisadi biandi: —Mutu wowo niandi Yowani Mbotiki, wufulukidi mu bafua, diawu kadidi lulendo lu vangila bikumu.
And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he hath risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves 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 had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 Bila Yowani wuba tubidilanga Elode ti: —Wisi ko minsua mu kunkuela.
For John had said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 Elode wuba tombanga kumvondisa, vayi nkangu wu batu kaba ntinanga bila batu baba monanga ti Yowani widi mbikudi.
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
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.
But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Diawu kamvanina tsila mu leva ndefi ti mankamvana kima kioso kioki kanlomba.
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
8 Mu diambu di zindongi zi ngudi andi, diawu kankambila: —Phani vava mu dilonga ntu wu Yowani Mbotiki.
And she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
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 the king was sorry: nevertheless for the sake of the oath and them who sat eating with him, he commanded it to be given her.
10 Buna wutuma mutu ku nloko muingi kenda zengi ntu wu Yowani.
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Banata ntu andi mu dilonga ayi bavana wawu kuidi muana ndumba. Niandi wuyenda kuwuvana kuidi ngudi andi.
And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the girl: and she brought it to her mother.
12 Minlonguki mi Yowani miyiza bonga nituꞌandi ayi mizika yawu, bosi miyenda vumbudila Yesu kipholo.
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and 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.
When Jesus heard of it, he departed from there in a boat into a desert place by himself: and when the people had heard of it, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 Yesu bu kakuluka mu nlungu, wumona nkangu wu batu bawombo. Wuba mona kiadi kiwombo ayi wubelusa bimbevo biawu.
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
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!
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now late; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.
16 Vayi Yesu wuba kamba: —Basi mfunu mu kuenda ko, luba vananu beno veka bidia!
But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 Buna bawu bamvutudila: —Tala, mapha matanu ayi zimbizi zizole zi nlangu kaka zidi yeto vava.
And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 Yesu wuba kamba: —Lundatina biawu vava.
He said, Bring them here to me.
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 he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 Bawu boso badia ayi bayukuta. Batota bitini bisiadidila ayi biwesa kumi bipani biodi.
And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 Baboso badia baba nduka-nduka mili tanu yi babakala. Kadi tanga baketo ayi bana.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, 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 Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
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 when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 Mu thangu yina nlungu wutula va khatitsika mbu, wunikunu kuidi mayo bila muphepi wudengana nlungu.
But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 Mu thangu yi nya yi builu, Yesu wuyenda ku baba vayi wudiatila va mbata mbu.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 Minlonguki bu mimmona wulembo diatila va mbata mbu, mimona boma ayi mituba: —Tala nkuyu e! Ayi mitona yamikina mu diambu di boma.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear.
27 Bosi Yesu wuba kamba: —Bika lukinda, bila minu kuandi; bikanu mona boma.
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 Buna Piela wunkamba: —A Pfumu e! Enati bukiedika ngeyo kuandi, buna wukhamba ndiza kuidi ngeyo va mbata nlangu.
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water.
29 Yesu wunkamba: —Yiza! Piela wutotuka mu nlungu, ayi wutona diata va mbata nlangu muingi kenda kuidi Yesu.
And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 Vayi bu kamona ti muphepi widi wu ngolo buna wumona boma. Bu katona diama, wuyamikina: —A! Pfumu! Wumvukisa e…!
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 Bosi Yesu wunonuna koko, wunsimba ayi wunkamba: —Mutu wu minu kifioti, bila mbi memitini e?
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
32 Bakuma bawu buadi mu nlungu ayi vuka kimanisa.
And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Bobo baba mu nlungu bafukama va ntualꞌandi ayi batuba: —Bukiedika widi Muana Nzambi!
Then they that were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, In truth thou art the Son of God.
34 Buna bamana sabuka mbu; batula mu tsi Ngenezaleti.
And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 Batu ba tsi yina, batembikisa tsangu mu zunga kina. Bosi batu bannatina bambevo ziawu zioso.
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the surrounding country, and brought to him all that were diseased;
36 Banleba ti kabika basimba kaka tsongi yi yunga kiandi. Babo bobo bansimba babeluka.
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly well.
