Matthew 14 (GHN)

1Pana totozo ria za nongoroni i Herodi, na bangara pa ia pa Qalili, za na vavakatona i Jisu.At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2Ko za pojadi ria na nana tiolata lavalavata, ari za gudi vei, <<I Jone Paputaiso zozoto gu ani!. Za toa mule pa uke! Ko za vei za izongia aza za na neqi ko za boka roitidi aza ria na roiti varivagabaradi,>> za gua.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.”

3Ari za roquroqu vei aza ura perangaina tu za tori garunuria tu i Herodi ria nana tinoni ko qari piua i Jone Paputaiso ko qari valugea pa ruma varipiu. Za tapiu aza pa ginuguana gu i Herodiasi na maqotana i Pilipi na taina.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Ura kaki totozo qari lao rari za vapoja zozotoni i Jone Paputaiso i Herodi, ari za guni vei, <<Zake tavamalumu pa Vavanau za qu vei ao qu elavia i Herodiasi, ura na maqotana tu na taimu aza,>> za guni.because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Ko pa ginuana aza za i Herodi za nyorogua vaukea i Jone, ba za matagutudi ria na tinoni Jiu ura ria na tinoni Jiu qari vazozotoa za maka tinoni korokorotai tugu i Jone qari gua.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Ego ba totonai za kamu za na rane podo ti Herodi, za na tuna reko i Herodiasi za lao kole pekapeka pa moedi ria na tinoni qari tasoru valame pa varikamu. Ko za qera vitivitigini i Herodi za na pekapekana aza,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7ko za ule votu tarini na maulu aza za doru zakazava mina tepai aza za mina vani gu za guni za na reko ani.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Ko pa roquroqu tana tinana za lao ti Herodi za na reko ko za tepa vei ari, <<Mu petalani pa maka peleta ko mu vaniziu koviria tugu za na batuna i Jone Paputaiso,>> za gua.Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Za takulanga vitivitigi i Herodi tonai za nongoria na tepa tana reko, ba za tori maulu vakole tu pa moedi ria na tinoni za soruria, ko za pojadi gu ria na nana tinoni ko mari vani gu aza vei za tepai na reko za gua.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Ko za garunuria aza ria kaki nana tinoni varipera, ko qari lao kujukia pa ruma varipiu i Jone Paputaiso.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11Beto za qari petalani pa maka peleta za na batuna ko qari pogozo kamu vani za na reko, beto za aza za lao vani za na tinana.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Pa liguna aza za qari lao pogozia ria nana sepele za na kobukobu tinina i Jone, ko qari keni golomia. Beto za qari keni pojani i Jisu.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Ego totonai za nongoroni i Jisu za na veveina i Jone Paputaiso, za taloinana ketakoi pa maka koaka aza ko za keni vakaloinana pa maka ia kaloina. Ba tonai qari nongoro ria na minete tinoni za aza, za qari turu loidi ria na dia guguzu ko qari are tutia i Jisu.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.

14Totonai za tete paro i Jisu, za batia za na puku minete tinoni lavata, ko za roquroqu vitivitigiria aza ria ko za salanaria tugu aza ria qari mo.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Totonai za gore za na veluvelu za qari lao ria na nana sepele ko ari qari guni vei, <<Koi, na ia kaloina kepore tinonina za pani beto ko za tori papaka vitivitigi tu za na rane. Ae vei bu garunu vakeniria tu tinganai vei guguguzu ria na tinoni ari ko bari keni vaigedi ganigani makadi,>> qari gua ria.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.”

16Nari ari za gudi vei i Jisu ria, <<Nake padadi mari keni ria ari, goto gamu makamiu za mu iadi kaki tekutekuna,>> za gua.“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Nari za qari paranga ria na nana sepele, <<Aza tugu ka lima batu bereti peki gu beto kori igana gu za ari,>> qari gua.“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18<<Ego mu pogozo lamedi pani,>> za gua i Jisu.“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Beto za pojadi aza ria doru na tinoni ko qari nyumu beto pa buruburu, beto za tekuria za ka lima bereti beto kori igana, ko za enga zae pa noka beto za paranga leanadi. Beto za kipakiparia za na bereti ko za vadi ria na nana sepele, ko ria na sepele qari iaria ria na tinoni.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.

20Ko qari tekuteku ko qari pote beto ria doru tinoni. Beto za qari tekuria ria na sepele za ka manogori topa ko qari vapugele nyonyoadi na kipakipa ganigani kole joladi.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Na ngutidi ria na marene qari tekuteku ari ka lima vuro, goto ria na reko beto ria na koburu za qarike tanguti.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Ego pa liguna tugu aza, za pojadi i Jisu ria na nana sepele ko mari zae pa koaka ko mari karovo lao momoe pa maka kale karovona na ovuku, goto aza mi suvere ko mina garunu vamuleria mae na tinoni pa okotodia guguguzu za gudi.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Pa liguna za vakeni betoria na tinoni, za zagere zae pa maka kubo makana aza ko za varavara. Ko totonai za gore na veluvelu, za kole tugu suverenana makana ketakoi aza.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Ko tonai za tori zou lao tu pa korapa kolo za na koaka, ko za vaqevulu lao lameni na boguzu za na koaka, ura na gava turu koimoa za viva.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Ego ko pa varikorapaina kue koloko volavolaza ko za lao kamu pa vonomo koloko volavolaza lea za rerege tuti lao pa vuliti kolo i Jisu.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Totonai ria na sepele qari batia aza za korapa rerege lame pa vuliti kolo, za qari takulanga vitivitigi ria, <<Koi, maka tomete za lamegana ani!>> qari gua, ko qari velavela gagateana.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Nari zake oriavo tugu parangaria i Jisu, ari za gua vei, <<Mu varene! Ara gu ani, muke matagutu!>> za gua aza.But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Nari za paranga lao i Pita, ari za guni vei, <<Bangara, mina vei ao zozoto tugu zana, za mu kukuziu ko ma rerege lao tamu pa vuliti kolo,>> za gua aza.“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29<<Leana, mu rerege lame gu,>> za gua i Jisu. Nari za taloi tugu pa koaka i Pita ko za podalai rerege lao ti Jisu pa vuliti kolo.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Ba totonai za vagilagilai i Pita za na giburuna na gava nari za matagutu ko za podalai dururu, nari za uui, <<Bangara, mu aloziu!>> za gua.But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Aza tugu za paranga vei zara i Pita nari za kaqama lao aru tamania i Jisu za na limana aza beto ari za guni vei, <<Za peki jola za na mua rangerange! Ae za vei ko qu orirabeke ao?>> za guni.Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Ko totonai qari zae beto pa koaka ari kori doru, za nogoto betonana za na gava.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Ko ria na sepele pa koaka za qari vatarazaea i Jisu, ari qari gua vei, <<Zozoto jola za ao tugu za na Tuna na Tamaza,>> qari guni.Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Ego qari karovia ria za na ovuku Qalili ko qari lao paro pa guguzu pa Qenesareti.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Ko qari dogoro gigalia ria na tinoni pa ia aza i Jisu, ko qari vareregia pa varilivutaina na guguzu lavata aza za na nongorona aza, ko qari okoto toka kamudi ti Jisu ria doru tinoni qari mo.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Ko qari tepa jujukia i Jisu ko mari boka ulia gu za na uquna nana poko qari gua. Ko ria doru tinoni momodi qari ulia na uqu poko tana, za qari tasalana beto tugu.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
