Matthew 14 (MNI)

1Matam aduda Galilee-gi leingak mapu Herod-na Jisugi maramda tarabada,At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2mahakna mahakki phamnaibasingda hairak-i, “Mahak asi asengbamak baptize toubiba John-ni. Mahak asibasinggi maraktagi hinggatkhre, aduna mahakna matik leiba thabaksing touba ngambagi panggal mangonda leiribani.”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.”

3Mamaangda Herod-na mahakki manao nupa Philip-ki nupi Herodias masunglanggidamak John-bu pharaga punduna keisumsangda thamkhi.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Maramdi John-na mangonda “Nahakna Herodias-pu louba wayen kai” haikhi.because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Aduga Herod-na mahakpu hatninglabasu, mahakna miyambu kirammi. Maramdi makhoina John-bu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou amani haina lourammi.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Adubu Herod-ki mapok numitta Herodias-ki machanupina tinlibasinggi mangda jagoi saduna Herod-pu yamna pelhallammi.On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7Maduda pelladuna mahakna nijaba adumak pibigani haiduna Herod-na mangonda wasaklammi.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Aduda mamagi thousindagi mahakna “Baptize toubiba John-gi makok adu sempak amada haptuna eingonda pibiyu” haiduna Herod-ta hairammi.Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Maduda ningthou thawai warammi, adum oinamakpu thouram aduda tinlibasing adugi mamaangda mahakna wasakkhibagi maramna, niriba adu pinanaba mahakna yathang pirammi.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Adudagi mahakna mahakki lanmising thaduna keisumsangda leiriba baptize toubiba John-gi mangak adu kak-hankhi.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11Aduga John-gi makok adu sempak amada haptuna puraklaga nupi aduda pire, aduga mahakna madu mamagi nakta puraklammi.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Amasung John-gi tung-inbasing aduna laklaga mahakki asiba hakchang adu louduna leiron chankhi. Adudagi makhoina chattuna thoudok adubu Jisuda tamkhi.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Jisuna pao adu tabada hi amada tongduna mapham adu thadoklaga mathanta achikpa mapham amada chatkhirammi. Adubu misingna madu tabada makhoi makhoigi saharsing thadoklamlaga makhongna kangphalda chattuna Ibungogi tung illaklammi.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.

14Aduga Jisuna hidagi hek kumthabaga yamlaba miyam adu uba matamda Ibungogi thamoida makhoibu nungsiba poklammi amasung mahakna makhoigi anabasingbu phahanbirammi.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Adudagi numidangwairam oisillaklabada Ibungogi tung-inbasingna Ibungogi nakta laktuna hairak-i, “Mapham asi lamhangni, aduga matam asisu thengjillakle. Aduna makhoina khunggangsingda chattuna makhoi masagi chananaba leijarunaba miyam asi thadokkhrasi.”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.”

16Adubu Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Makhoina chatlubagi mathou tade. Nakhoina oina makhoida chanaba piyu.”“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Makhoina Ibungoda khumlak-i, “Eikhoigi leijaba haibabu tal manga amadi nga anikhak lei.”“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Maduda Ibungona makhoida hairak-i, “Madu eigi inakta purak-u.”“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Adudagi Ibungona miyamsing adubu napi mathakta phamnanaba yathang pirammi. Aduga mahakna tal manga amasung nga ani adu louduna swargada yengkhattuna Tengban Mapubu thagatcharaga talsing adu settuna tung-inbasingda pire. Aduga tung-inbasing aduna madu miyamda yenthoklammi.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.

20Amasung makhoi pumnamakna mabuk thanna charaba matungda tung-inbasing aduna lemhouba machet makaising adu khomjinbada thumok taranithoi thankhi.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Numit aduda chakhiba mising adu nupi amasung angang thadana nupa lising mangarom oirammi.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Adugi hek matungda, Jisuna miyam adubu halhallingeida Ibungogi tung-inbasing adubu hi tonghanduna mahakki mang thana pat adugi wangmada chat-hallammi.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Adudagi Ibungona mising adubu mayumda halhankhraba matungda haijanabagidamak mathanta chingthak amada kakhatlammi. Aduga mahakna mapham aduda mathanta leiringeida numidangwairam oisinlaklammi.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Matam aduda hi adudi nungsit maiyoknabagi maramna ithakna yeiduna iyaida leirammi.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Aduga nongngallamdaigi pung ahum aduwaida Jisuna ising mathakta khongna chattuna mahakki tung-inbasinggi nakta laklammi.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Aduga Ibungona ising mathakta khongna chatpadu ubada, Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna akiba phaoraduna hairak-i, “Masi tamnaba laini” amasung makhoina kibaga loinana laorammi.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Adubu khudak aduda Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Nathouna phou, eini kiganu!”But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Adudagi Peter-na hairak-i, “Ibungo, asengbamak nahak oirabadi, eihakna ising mathak asida chattuna nanakta laknaba eingonda yathang pinabiyu.”“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Maduda Jisuna hairak-i, “Lak-u!” Aduga Peter-na hidagi kumthaduna Ibungogi manak tamna ising mathakta chatlammi.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Adubu mahakna akanba nungsit adu uba matamda mahak akiba phaoraklammi amasung isingda lupthaba houraklammi. Maduda mahakna laorak-i, “Ibungo, eihakpu kanbiyu!”But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Khudak aduda Jisuna makhut tingthoktuna mahakpu chingkhatpiraduna hairak-i, “He, thajaba watpa, nahakna karigi chingnaribano?”Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Aduga makhoina hida kakhatpaga nungsit adu lepkhre.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Adudagi hi manungda leiriba Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna Ibungobu khurumjaduna hairak-i, “Tasengbamak Ibungo nahak Tengban Mapugi Machanupani!”Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Aduga makhoina pat adu lanthoktuna Gennesaret-ki lamda laklammi.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Mapham adugi mising aduna Jisubu khanglabada akoibada leiriba lam pumnamakta Ibungona thunglabagi pao thakhirammi. Aduga misingna anaba pumnamakpu Ibungogi manakta puraktuna,And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36anabasing aduna Ibungogi phijida sokchanaba makhoina Ibungoda haijare. Aduga madubu sokchaba anaba khudingmakna anaba phajarammi.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
