3Herod ni amae a nawngha, Filip e a yu Herodias dawkvah Jawhan hah a man a katek teh thongim vah a paung.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Jawhan ni Herod koe hote napui na la e heh thoung hoeh telah Herod hah atipouh dawkvah,because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Jawhan hah thei han a ngai ei rangpuinaw a taki dawkvah thet ngam hoeh. Rangpuinaw ni Jawhan hah profet buet touh lah a pouk awh,Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Herod a khenae hnin a pha teh pawi a sak navah Herodias e canu teh pawi thung a lam dawkvah, Herod lung ahawi sak.On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7Na hei e pueng na poe han telah thoekâbonae hoi lawk a kam.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8A manu ni a uen e patetlah Baptisma kapoekung Jawhan e a lû hah hete tongben dawk na poe telah a hei.Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Siangpahrang teh a lungmathoe ei lawk yo a kam toung dawkvah a huikonaw e minhmai hah a khet teh, poe hanelah kâ a poe.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Hatdawkvah, tami a patoun teh, Jawhan e lahuen hah thongim thungvah a tâtueng sak.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11A lû hah tongben dawk hoi napui ca a poe awh teh napui ca ni a manu koe a sin.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Jawhan e a hnukkâbangnaw a tho awh teh a ro hah a sin awh. A pakawp awh hnukkhu, Jisuh koe a cei awh teh a dei pouh awh.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Jisuh ni a thai nah hote hmuen hah long hoi a ceitakhai teh kingdinae koe vah a cei. Taminaw ni a thai awh dawkvah kho thung hoi a tâco awh teh khok hoi a kâbang awh.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.

14Jisuh ni a cei navah, taminaw a hmu nah a pahren dawkvah kapatawnaw pueng a dam sak.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Tangmin vah a hnukkâbangnaw ni a hnai awh teh, hiteh thingyeiyawn doeh. Kho hai a hmo toe. Rangpuinaw teh canei ran hanlah khonaw dawk cetsak lawi atipouh awh. navah,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.”

16Jisuh ni ahnimouh a cei ngai hoeh. A ca awh hanelah poe awh, atipouh.“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Ahnukkâbangnaw ni vaiyei panga touh hoi tanga kahni touh hoe laipateh kaimouh koe alouke rawca awmhoeh bout ati. Hahoi, Jisuh ni vaiyei hoi tanga hah hi sin awh haw atipouh.“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Hattoteh rangpuinaw hah tahung hanlah kâ a poe.“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Tamimaya hah pho van tahung hanelah kâ a poe. Vaiyei panga touh hoi tanga kahni touh hah a sin teh kalvan lah moung laihoi, lunghawi lawk a dei hnukkhu, vaiyei hoi tanga hah a raen teh a hnukkâbangnaw hah a poe.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.

20A hnukkâbangnaw ni hai rangpuinaw hah patuen a poe awh. Rangpuinaw ni kaboumlah a ca awh hnukkhu, ka cawi e a rakhun awh teh tangthung hlaikahni touh akawi.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Ka cat e abuemlah napui hoi camo dei laipalah tongpa dueng 5,000 touh hane a pha awh.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Jisuh ni kamkhueng e taminaw hah a ban sak lahun navah, a hnukkâbangnaw hah long a kâcui sak teh namran lah hmaloe a patoun.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Kamkhueng e naw be a ceisak hnukkhu ratoum hanlah, mon lah soumtinae koe a luen teh, tangmin vah amadueng ao.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Long teh tui lungui vah kahlî ni khak a ngang dawkvah tuicapa ni a hem awh.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Tangmin suimilam pali nah Jisuh teh ahnimouh koe tui van vah a cei.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Hottelah tui van a cei teh a tho e hah a hmu awh navah, kahrai doeh titeh taki hoi a hramki awh.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Jisuh ni na lungpuen awh hanh. Kai doeh taket awh hanh atipouh.But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Piter ni Bawipa, nang boipawiteh, tui van hoi nang koe ka tho nahanlah kâ na poe haw atipouh.“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Hattoteh hi tho atipouh. Piter ni long van hoi a kum teh Jisuh koe pha hanelah tui van vah a cei.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Kahlî a tang e hah a hmu navah a taki teh tui thung lah a bo dawkvah Bawipa na rungngang haw telah a hram.But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Jisuh ni a kut a dâw teh Piter hah a kuet. Yuemnae kayoun e tami bangkongmaw oupvoutnae na tawn atipouh.Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Long van a pha roi toteh kahlî a roum.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Long thung kaawmnaw ni a hnai awh teh, nang teh Cathut Capa tangngak doeh ati awh teh a bawk awh.Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Namran lah a ceiawh teh Gennesaret ram dawk a pha awh.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Hot hmuen dawk e kaawm e naw ni a nout awh navah, a teng kaawm e hmuen pueng koe, tami a patoun awh dawkvah, ka pataw e pueng hah a thokhai awh.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36A kâkhu e hni pawi hah, tek thai nahanlah a kâhei awh. Katek e pueng haiyah damnae a coe awh.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
