Matthew 14 (BGG)

1Herod è Galili shii khohthek ne rai pha ishak shii, Isu chiang shii yoi,At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2“Ai ne izai Jon khowo, hanyie ne chai idoh thog dinne bey,” Ai è awai dumuiithek shii yao. “Ji-è ai ne ji pha blu um ne buangthek rek ara ro.”and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

3Herod è Jon shii zum pha yungjong. Chiih-è Ai è shiirnai phang srane phatheg chab muii ro. Ai jithek rek pha ji ne ai ikhuii ro Philiph pha yiy Herodias pha chiang ro.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Nyieliieshii, Jon è Herod shii yao, “Herodias shii yiy rek pha ji è adunmey phro!”because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Herod è Jon shii ua muii pha now, jinagunde ai Jewishthek bran è rum nyieliieshii, Jewish thek è Jon ne chaig rone yao dun.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Herod giak pha inai shii Herodias pha dimi è zab pha ibrog moe shii gasiu siu phi. Herod ne sang dun.On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7Ji-è, ai è dimi shii sbang rek, “ai è surua thak Na è nyie lia pha ji phi ruii phro!”so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Ai amuii pha miyao nuii ne ai è aishii lia, “Gu shii Jon khrug ne ichiih shiikhiia shii giong ne phi mage bo!”Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Saja ne zo dun, jimagunde nyieliieshii ai è awai è biwenthek moe shii sbang rek pha ji è ai è bimi è lia pha ji rek phi.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Ji-è, Jon khrug ne phatheg bucho hà tham yi.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11Khrug ji ne shiikhiia shii giong srane bimi shii phi muii, ai è amuii shii yie ne phi muii.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Jon pha samoythek wuii thog, ai siu shii han dun, chiih-è wieng muii; chiihphado ithek ne wuii srane Isu shii yao phi.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Isu è Jon chiang muathek yoi mage shii, ai run shii in srane awailum liijiing ithua hà wuii dun. Branthek de ji pha chiang yoi, jiè ithek awaithek thawunthek thoh srane ai idoh lai è luagieng.When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.

14Isu run è fuang lung ne, ai boh ibrog riig mage shii, ai lubu ne nathek shii bushun now dun, chiih-è hanyie radpho shii ai è gang phi.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Jipha habjuang airo samoythek wuii thog srane yao, “Gethek ne bajo chia sha dun ro, chiih-è ichiih pha ithua ne liijiing ro. Branthek shii thiigthek hà thoh ne awai chie pha pheg yi haro!”When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16Ithek shii athoh ge rabo, Isu è chang, “ithek shii nawaithek è chie pha phi mage bo!”“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17“Ichiih gethek shii ne iweb guii nane ù nyi um bie ro, ithek è chang.”“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Isu è ithek shii yao din, “Jithek ne ichiih gu moe shii yie mage bo.”“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Ai è branthek shii saing lakhung shii dug pha yung; chiiphado ai è iweb guii nane ù nyi ji yie srane hamangkhung hà hù ne riig ne, Hamangkhung-aphuii shii laso phi. Ai è iweb ji phed srane samoythek shii phi. Chiih-è samoythek è branthek shii phi.And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

20Zab branthek è lumuiidang pha chie. Chiihphado nyie khe pha ji yi siridthek snanyi ley chiing.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Hanyie chie pho ne hò-aphuii ne itham guii ro chiih-è hò-amuii nane aniphiing shii ne atham ro.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Chiihphado Isu è samoythek shii run shii in yi srane ibi khabang thrang pha ithua wuii yi.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Branthek dun ge pha idoh, ai awailum ne phiingduii hà sia pha wuii dun. Habjuang rey mage shii, Isu ne thiisa ji rey dun.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Jipha ishak shii ne run ne khabang è ruang rey dun. Khasua è laluadun, nyieliieshii hasam ibi è sam ruii.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Hamiang riang uom nane riig rey pha ishak shii Isu è kho lakhung è lua ne samoythek moe shii wuii thog.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Ithek è aishii kho lakhung shii lua pha doh mage shii, ithek ne rum dun, “Hì ne ibuii ro.” Ithek è yao, chiih-è rum ne ziak.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Isu è ithek shii jog yao mage, “Lububo rek bo!” Ai è yao, “Hì ne gu ro, nathek ne arum rabo!”But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Chiihphado Phithar è de yao, Ithong wo! Ji ne izai na chak arone, gu shii de kho lakhung shii lua ne na hà wuii yi bo.“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29“Thawuii bo!” Isu è chang, ji-è, Phithar de run è fuang lung srane jao ne kho lakhung shii lua ne Isu shii wuii.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Jishii ai hasam gang ji riig ne ai ne rum chiih-è kho shii zem pha rekdun. “Phithar è ziak ne yao,” “Ithong wo gu shii ragia rek phi bo.”But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Isu è jog aishii wuii srane aishii kho ne yao, “Nashii ne migi ìujia um ara? Na ne nyie rek pha than phlei?”Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Isa nyi manyie run bucho shii in ne chiih-è hasam de them dun.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Chiiphado run shii um pha samoythek è Isu shii misiasia, “Na ne izai Hamangkhung-aphuii pha dufuii chak ro!” ithek è ziak.Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Ithek ne khabang ji hiìa ne Genesareth pha soh hà wuii thog,When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Thiichiih pha branthek è Isu shii thieg. Ji-è ithek è zab soh pha radpho thoh ge srane ithek shii Isu hà noh thog ruii.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Ithek è aishii khung ne yao, “Hanyie radpho ne naro rugud ijiu shii khoh yi bo,” zab hanyie è khoh pho ne gang dun ro.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
