Matthew 14 (TDX)

1Ie henane zay, jinanji’ i Heroda mpifehe ty talily Iesoà;At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2le hoe re amo mpitoro’eo: Iantofako t’ie i Jaona Mpandipotse ro manao o raha tsitantane zao.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.”

3Amy te nitsepahe’ i Heroda t’i Jaona le rinohi’e am-balabey ao t’ie nañendak’ aze tsy hañenga i Herodiasy ho valy, amy t’ie fa vali’ i rahalahi’ey,Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4hoe t’i Jaona tama’e: Faly ama’o izay.because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Aa le inao, te ho namono aze t’i Heroda, fe nihembañe amy lahialeñey, fa nimpitoky am’iereo t’i Jaona.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Ie amy takatakam-paniahiañe ty nisamahañe i Heroday le kinoi’e hitrao-pikama ama’e o roandria’ i fifelehañey; nitsinjake añivo’ iereo ty anak-ampela’e le niehake t’i Heroda,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7kanao nampitamae’e am-panta te ho mea’e aze ze ihalalia’e.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Aa ie nitoroan-drene’e le nangataha’e ty añambone’ i Jaona Mpandipotse am-panake.Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Nimoremoretse amy zao i mpanjakay, fe ty amy fanta nanoe’e añatrefa o nambarañeo, le linili’e te hanoeñe;The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10vaho nampihitrife’e ty hamonoañe i Jaona am-porozò ao.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11Nendese’ iereo am-panake ty añambone’e, naho natolotse amy somondraray vaho natolo’ i somondraray aman-drene’e.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Nimb’eo o mpiamy Jaonao nitakoñe i fañòvay naho nalenteke vaho natalili’ o mpiokeo amy Iesoà.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Ie jinanji’ Iesoà, le nienga an-dakañe nimb’ an-tane bangìñe e Iehoda añe. Aa ie tsinano’ i màroy, le norihe’ iereo boak’ amo rova iabio.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.

14Ie niavotse le nivazoho’e amboho’e ey i lahialeñey naho niferenaiña’e vaho nampijangañe’e ze hene narare ama’e.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Ie hariva, niheova’e o mpiama’eo nanao ty hoe ama’e: Babangoañe ty atoy naho fa miroñe; apoho higodañe mb’amo tanàñeo i maroy hitoha ze sindre ipaia’e.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.”

16Fe hoe t’i Iesoà: Ino ty hiavota’ iareo? anjotsò mahakama.“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Hoe iareo: Tsy ama’e zahay naho tsy mofo lime naho fiañe roe.“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Hoe re: Endeso amako izay.“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Le nampiambesare’e amy ahetsey ondatio; aa ie niambesatse, le rinambe’e i mofo limey naho i fiañe roe rey, naho nañandriañe te niandra mb’ andikerañe ey, le zinara’e naho natolo’e amo mpiama’eo, vaho nazotso’ o mpiama’eo amo nitolatolakeo.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.

20Hene nikama naho nianjañe, nikamae’ iareo ka o fiañeo, ze nisatrieñe. Naho fa nikama le nahoro’ iareo ty nifitafita, nahapea mozete folo ro’amby.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Ty hamaro’ o nikamao le lime arivo ty lahilahy, tovo’ izay o roakemba naho ajajao.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Tampetse izay, nampijoñe’e an-dàkañe ao o mpiama’eo hitsake aolo aze mb’ amy rova hañaveloa’ i maroiy.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Ie nienga’ i lahialeñey, le niañambone vohitse vaho nitalaho, ie raike. Ie hariva nijoriñe ey avao,After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24i lakañey añivo’ i riakey eñe, nasiotsio’ o onjan-driakeo amy t’ie niatre-tioke.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Ie ami’ty fijilovañe fah’efa’ i haleñey, le niheo mb’am’iereo mb’eo t’i Iesoà nidraidraitse ambone’ i riakey.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Ie niisa’ o mpiama’eo nañavelo ambone rano ey, le nivorombeloñe, fa natao’ iareo ho angatse! vaho nikoaike am-pirevendreveñañe.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Le natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Mahatokisa ry ao, izaho ‘nio. Ko hembañe,But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Natoi’ i Petera ty hoe: O Talè, naho Ihe, ampombao mb’ama’o ambone’ o ranoo iraho.“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Mb’etoa, hoe t’i Iesoà. Aa le nizotso amy lakañey t’i Petera, nandia i ranoy mb’amy Iesoà mb’eo.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30F’ie nahaoniñe ty hamafe’ i tiokey, le nianifañe naho ho nilipotse vaho nikoiake ty hoe: Talè! irombaho.But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Nahiti’ Iesoà amy zao ty fità’e le rinambe’e, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ondaty kede fatokisañeo, ino ty nimahimahiña’o?Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Ie nijoñe an-dakañe ao, le nipendreñe i tiokey,And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33vaho niambane ama’e o an-dakañeo, nanao ty hoe: Toe Anan’ Añahare irehe.Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Tafa-tsake iereo, nitoly an-tamboho’ i Genesareta eo.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Aa ie nahafohiñe aze ondati’ i taneio le nanitsihañe hitrike i borizañey, naho nendeseñe ama’e ze hene nisilofe’ o areteñe ankafankafao.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Nihalalia’ iareo ke ho no’e t’ie hitsapa ty lifin-tsiki’e; vaho songa nijangañe ze nitsapa aze.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
