Matthew 14 (BREBRG)

1En amzer-se, Herodez an tetrark, o vezañ klevet komz eus Jezuz, a lavaras d'e servijerien:At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2Yann-Vadezour eo! Adsavet eo a-douez ar re varv, ha dre-se eo en em ra mirakloù drezañ.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.”

3Rak Herodez en devoa kaset da gemer Yann, hag en devoa e ereet ha lakaet er prizon, abalamour da Herodiaz, gwreg Filip e vreur,Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4rak Yann a lavare dezhañ: N'eo ket aotreet dit he c'haout evit gwreg.because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5C'hoant en devoa d'e lakaat da vervel, met aon en devoa rak ar bobl, dre ma oa kemeret Yann ganto evit ur profed.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Met da zeiz ganedigezh Herodez, merc'h Herodiaz a zañsas dirak an dud, hag a blijas da Herodez,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7en hevelep doare ma roas e c'her dezhi gant le, penaos e roje dezhi ar pezh a c'houlennje.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Aliet gant he mamm, e lavaras: Ro din amañ, war ur plad, penn Yann-Vadezour.Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Ar roue a voe glac'haret; koulskoude, abalamour d'e le ha d'ar re a oa azezet gantañ, e c'hourc'hemennas e reiñ dezhi,The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10hag e kasas da zibennañ Yann er prizon.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11E benn a voe degaset war ur plad, ha roet d'ar plac'h yaouank, hag ar plac'h yaouank e roas d'he mamm.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Diskibien Yann a zeuas hag a gemeras e gorf, hag e sebeilhjont anezhañ.; hag ez ejont d'e lavarout da Jezuz.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Pa glevas Jezuz kement-se, ez eas kuit ac'hano en ur vag evit en em dennañ a-du en ul lec'h distro. Ar bobl o vezañ klevet-se en heulias war droad adalek ar gêrioù.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.

14Neuze Jezuz, o vezañ aet er-maez, a welas ul lod bras a dud; truez en devoe outo, hag e yac'haas o c'hlañvourien.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15An abardaez o vezañ deuet, e ziskibien a dostaas outañ hag a lavaras: Al lec'h-mañ a zo distro, ha diwezhat eo; kas kuit ar bobl, evit ma'z aint er bourc'hioù, da brenañ boued.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.”

16Jezuz a lavaras dezho: N'o deus ket ezhomm da vont kuit, roit hoc'h-unan da zebriñ dezho.“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Lavarout a rejont dezhañ: N'hon eus amañ nemet pemp bara ha daou besk.“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Eñ a lavaras: Degasit int din.“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Ober a reas d'ar bobl azezañ war ar geot, kemer a reas ar pemp bara hag an daou besk, hag o sevel e zaoulagad etrezek an neñv, e rentas grasoù. Neuze e torras ar baraoù, hag e roas anezho d'e ziskibien, evit m'o rojent d'ar bobl.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.

20Debriñ a rejont holl hag o devoa a-walc'h, hag e kasjont ganto daouzek panerad leun eus an nemorantoù.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Ar re o devoa debret a oa war-dro pemp mil den, hep ar gwragez hag ar vugale.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Kerkent goude, e reas d'e ziskibien mont er vag, hag e ziaraogiñ en tu all, e-pad ma kasje kuit ar bobl.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23P'en devoe kaset kuit ar bobl, e pignas war ar menez evit pediñ, a-du; an abardaez o vezañ deuet, e oa eno e-unan.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Ar vag a oa dija e-kreiz ar mor, gwallgaset gant ar gwagennoù, rak an avel a oa en o enep.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25D'ar bedervet beilhadenn eus an noz e teuas d'o c'havout, o vale war ar mor.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Pa welas an diskibien anezhañ, o vale war ar mor, o devoa spont hag e lavarjont: Un teuz eo! Hag e krijont gant ar spont.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Kerkent Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Ho pet fiziañs, me eo, n'ho pet ket aon.But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Pêr a respontas dezhañ: Aotrou, mar deo te, gourc'hemenn ac'hanon da vont da'z kavout war an doureier.“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Eñ a lavaras dezhañ: Deus! Pêr a ziskennas eus ar vag hag a gerzhas war an doureier, evit mont da gavout Jezuz.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Met, pa welas e oa kreñv an avel, en devoa aon; hag evel ma tonae en dour, e krias, o lavarout: Aotrou, va savete!But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Raktal Jezuz, oc'h astenn e zorn, a grogas ennañ, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Den a nebeut a feiz, perak ac'h eus diskredet?Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Hag e pignjont er vag, hag an avel a baouezas.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Ar re a oa er vag a zeuas hag a azeulas anezhañ, o lavarout: Te eo evit gwir Mab Doue.Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34P'o devoe treuzet ar mor, e teujont da vro C'henezared.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Tud al lec'h-mañ, o vezañ anavezet Jezuz, a gasas kannaded en holl vro tro-war-dro, hag e voe degaset dezhañ an holl dud klañv.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Pediñ a rejont anezhañ d'o lezel da stekiñ hepken ouzh bevenn e zilhad. Ha kement hini a stokas, a voe yac'haet.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
