Matthew 14 (IDC)

1Akyua ra ni iHiridus Antifas kọọ ila iYesu,At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2na aba tẹri agira nga si, “IYahaya aghọ uju iminimini wẹ ri. Akọ sang kọ ukpo; uwu sa ni ashi na akyuọ ju uma usa uwo ica ri.”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.”

3Ka iHiridus kọ kpẹnẹ iYahaya ki lor, ki sọmọ nga kọ ubọọ itii kaya iHiridiya, ayiri anayuru nga iFilibusNow Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4ka iYahaya ka tẹri nga si, “Umẹẹ iMusa ta ma wu ni ingọ vo nga ba.”because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Akyua ni, iHiridus wang kọ pii iYahaya kọ, ni asọ tẹ ẹrẹbata bajiya, ka a kpaa nga si aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng nga.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Ni awii na ajee iHiridus ya ba ni, anọ anayiri iHiridiya ya bọ ni ate nga iHiridus kọọ uhwai nagigang,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7na aba ta anyu kini ngaa, ki ba suu si aki ma nadidu imumani ashọr.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Ayuru nga ngaa sa nga kọ, asi, “Ma mi ẹrẹkwẹ iYahaya aghọ uju iminimini kidẹ ipẹ ka aikyuari.”Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Agọm ba duma, usuu nga kina akyeng ra sa ni asa si ama nga.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Atuma na aya kyua iYahaya ẹrẹkwẹ wọ kidẹ ubọọ itii,and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11na aba ni ẹrẹkwẹ kidẹ ipẹ ki ba ma anayiri, ni aya ma ayuru nga.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Aghọyii nga ba kpaa ọkọ ki ya naa kọ, ni aba kyaa kiya tẹri iYesu.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13IYesu ya kọọ kindii ni, aba sang ki ghila nga idẹ ọgbọlọ kọ uyuyi ki kyaa ọka umani ace aghọ shiya ba. Ni ikir bajiya ya kọọ kindọ ni, aba ki yii nga ni ifra kọ kpaa kọ ufọng.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.

14Aya kunu kidẹ ọgbọlọ ni aba nu ikir bajiya, aba kọọ ahwoo bọ, ni aba ma adumu kidẹ bọ ọkyuọ.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Ọka ya ba ughẹ ni, aghọyii nga ba ki ju si, “Ba aghọ ya kọ kẹẹ ba, ni ọka wẹ ni uya sang ba ughẹ; shira ikir bajiya nga ka akyaa bọ anọrọfọng ushi kọ ukadu kaya gheli akwyi bọ imila.”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.”

16IYesu ba ju bọ si, “Ba sa bọ ka kyaa uce ka ba, inu ka kyakwyuẹ nọ ma bọ ice ima ka ala.”“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Aba yira nga si, “Ayọ shina ubiredi utọ kina itagbo ipai.”“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Aba ju si, “Inu ba mi ni yọ.”“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Aba sa ikir bajiya nga si, acica kaya nọ ọbọ, aba kpaa ubiredi utọ kina itagbo ipai, aba zẹẹ ibate nga ka ayaya ki sa Ọnọng izaa. Asa wura ubiredi nga ki ma atina nga, atina nga ba ma ikir bajiya nga.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.

20Aba la nadidu bọ ki shuu. Aba curu awo na ashẹ ki sa ọkọọ ushọ nọ upai.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Ajiya umani ala ni afuma aghimi araji usọ atọ, bam na ayiri kina anọ.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Akyua ra ni atina nga ya ghila bọ idẹ ọgbọlọ ki lite nga ki kyaa bọ udaa ugẹẹ, na asa laa nga kọ shira ikir bajiya nga.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Aya kpẹẹ shira ikir bajiya ni, aba kila nga aya ọpang kayu nga kaya pii nọ Ọnọng. Ashi kayu nga kọ ukadu ki fuma ughẹ.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24akyua ra ni ọgbọlọ nga shi ka abiyatẹ ighọ kina ẹrẹbọ, ugya sọ ca wọ, ka uwuu sọ ju irisho kini wọ.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Kini ikwikweting ni ava ba ukushi bọ na asọ kyeng kaya na amusum.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Ni atina nga ya nu nga na akyeng kaya na amusum ni, aba kọọ ẹrẹbata, ki ju si, “Ahwu nga!” Aba taa kpa ni ẹrẹbata.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Kidẹ akyua ni iYesu pii ni bọ, si, “Inu ba duma ba! Imẹẹ. Ba kọọ ẹrẹbata ba.”But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28IBitrus ba yira si, “Ate, insi ingọ ni, sa mi ki imẹ ba ukushi ngọ kaya na amusum.”“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29IYesu ba ju si, “Ba.” IBitrus ba kunu kidẹ ọgbọlọ nga na asọ kyeng kaya na amusum na aki ba ukushi iYesu.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Ni aya nu uwuu nọ usang ni ẹrẹkyuọ ni, aba kọọ ẹrẹbata wọ na asa dẹẹ kọ ghila idẹ. Aba gyo akpa si, “Ate, foo mi!”But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Kidẹ akyua ni iYesu nawa avọ nga ki kpẹnẹ nga, ki ju nga si, “Ingọ agha uma aipang na jẹẹ, ikẹmbọ sa ni ingọ shina ikwyi ipai?”Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Aya fuma idẹ ọgbọlọ ni, uwuu ba tara.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Aghọ shi kidẹ ọgbọlọ ba ta agho kite iYesu, ki ju si, “Aipang ni ingọ na Anọ Ọnọng nga.”Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Aya buu udaa ugẹẹ ni, aba kya bọ ẹrẹbọ aJanisarat.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Ni ajiya ukadu ya kpẹlẹ nga ni, aba tuma na ajiya ishi ọka nadidu ka aba nga na adumu.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Aba shọr nga ka ibọ piya anyu igbang nga. Nadidu aghọ umani apiya ni apeni ọkyuọ.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
