Matthew 14 (STW)

1Noan oatowe Erotes iwe soamwoonin Galilee a rongorong wunuunun Jesus.At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2A aengaeniir rhooan engaang kkewe naiun pwe, “Ieei iiy John Baptist, nge a menaw sefaaen. Ina faaen minne eyor maemaewan pwe epwe feeori kkeman kkeei reen.”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.”

3Pwe mmwan nge Erotes a akkiuneo pwe repwe torofi John nge ra geoni iwe ra oatoranong noan kanepwus. Erotes a feeori minneei faaen itaen Herodias iwe pwiuniuwaen Philip we pwiin.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Pwe John Baptist a fasiun aepini ngaeni Erotes pwe, “Ese fin ngaeniug oamw wopwe pwiuniuwaeni Herodias.”because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Erotes e mwerhaen pwe epwe niiy noa John, nge e mesagiiur Jews pwe iga re iseni John pwe erhai profeta.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Nge raaenin gupwunon wupwutiwen Erotes, nge niewe naiun Herodias epwaai me weni mmweer rhooawe. Nge Erotes igin kker,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7a ppwon ngaeni niewe pwe, “Iya aekkepan, pwe ngaang ipwe ngaenneog ese tiwegin meeta wo tingoar.”so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Miniwe inan a akkiuneow pwe epwe tingoareei Erotes pwe, “Igina rhag nge wopwe ngaenneaei rhimwen John Baptist noan eew saepiy!”Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Iwe rhag nge e aenneew noa tipaen king we, nge pwonno igiwe a aekkepan weni mmweer waseona kkewe, a aepesa pwe mwerhaen we aaen rhooapwut we naiun epwe mmwen.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Iwe a akkiuneo pwe repwe noa gopiy noa iiuwaen John me noan kanepwus.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11Iwe, ra pwigito miniwe rhimwen John noan eew saepiy nge ra ngaenneei aeterhooapwut we, iwe niewe a pwigi noa reen niewe inan.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun John ra itto pwigi miniwe oanongan nge ra noa paeia noa. Iwe nge ra noa aengaeni Jesus.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Igiwe Jesus a rongorong miniwe kkepesaen John, a tapweei efoarh pwoot saengi igiwe nge a noa ngaeni eew pwiuneoi ne iiy noa rhag. Nge igiwe aeremas ra rongorong miniwe, ra noa saengi aepinoamwoor nge ra tapweei noa mwirin me weni faniuw.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.

14Jesus a teeotiw me wooan pwoot we, nge a giuneei pwuwaen aeremas kkewe, nge a igin faayeeor iwe a aecchipwaar tae rhooawe re semwaai me neeiir.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Noan faefin we nge rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun ra itto reen nge ra aengaeni pwe, “E igin anniug noa igeei, nge a pwan pwoong. Aefengaar noa aeremas kaan nee aepinoamw pwe repwe noa sipegin chuwaai aeneer mwongo.”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.”

16Nge Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Inamwo me rese noa, aaemi oawpwe ngaenneer meeta repwe mwongo!”“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Nge iir ra paniuwaeni pwe, “Minne eyor remaem nge niffai rhag fenoawa me riiurhai iig.”“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Iwe, Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Iwe oaw pwigito reei.”“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Iwe nge a aepesa ngaeniir rhooawe pwe repwe mooat tiw wooan fetin kkewe. Iwe a pwigi fenoawa kkewe niffai me iig kkewe riiurhai, a fattae naaeng nge a fang aan maeipinen aerhigerhig Iwe a giniiy fenoawa kkewe nge a ngaenneer rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun, nge iir ra inetiy ngaeniir aeremas kkewe.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.

20Oanongeer nge ra maegin mwongo iwe ra faeyemwaai noa. Iwe rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra oawuta seig me ruwowu rhiug reen nuseg kkewe.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Iwe nepeer mwaaen kkewe re mwongo nge nimingeras, nge rese paaepae rhooapwut me wonigaet.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Iwe rhag nge Jesus a aepekkaar rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun pwe repwe teeotae wooan pwoot we, nge ra gommwonoa epeig meoneoiniun we, nge iiy a aefengaar noa aeremas kkewe.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Mwirin aan aefengaar noa aeremas kkewe, Jesus a ittae wooan rhug we nge iiy rhag, pwe epwe noa maeipin. Igiwe a pwongonoa, a iiy noa rhag igiwe.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Reen oateen nge pwoot we a taaw saengi faniuw, a nuponup pwoot we reen tettemoagon noa, nge igiwe repwan maeyi ngaeni aaeng.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Enoa nepetaen enuuw me wonowu konook nee oatosor Jesus a itto reer rhooan kkayeo kkewe, enoa faaeraegto weei saaet.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Igiwe ra giuneei aan faaeraegto weei saaet, ra igin mesag. Ra aekkepwas pwe, “Erhai aniu!”When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Noan rhag oaton een nge Jesus a kkepas ngaeniir pwe, “Oaw aemenetaegaemi! Ngaang minneei, oawte mesag!”But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Iwe Peter a aepesa pwe, “Soamwoon, aere een minna, aengaeniaei pwe ipwe faaeraeg wow reemw wooan saaet.”“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Itto!” Iwe Peter a teeotiw me wooan pwoot we nge a faaeraeg noa reen Jesus weei saaet.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Nge igiwe a weri maemaewaen aaeng we, a mesag nge a rhaepetae aan mwotupwutiw. Iwe, a aekkepwas pwe, “Aemenewaeyaei Soamwoon!”But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Iwe rhag nge Jesus a aeiti noa paiun, a ammwarhiu Peter nge a aengaeni pwe, “Me gaen mwittiginen oamw niugiuniug! Meeta wotip mwaramwar reen?”Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Iwe ra teeotae wooan pwoot we, iwe nge aaeng we a maseoseotiw.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Iwe rhooan kkayeo kkewe reno wooan pwoot we ra aesirowu Jesus nge ra aepesa pwe, “Ennetaen pwe een Naiun Deus!”Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Iwe ra seraeg noa epeig meoneoiniun we nge ra noa itto noan me Gennesaret.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Aeremesaen pwiuneoi we re aeginna Jesus iwe ra aepesa noa wooan oanongaen faniuw pwe Jesus a no. Iwe aeremas ra pwigiir to oanongeer rhooa semwaai reen Jesus.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Ra tingoar ngaeni pwe aere uwen aar mwo man semwaai geotteopa soapwon mengaagiun. Iwe oanongeer iyo kkewe re geotteopa ra mamaaw noa.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
