Matthew 14 (WJA)

1A dwii jo̱re̱ Hiridus balaa wu Galili, a nu̱u̱ labar Yesu.At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2A sa wula ya ki̱n, <<Wii Yohanna wu Ni̱ngi̱ Bati̱si̱ma, a wuni bo̱o̱re̱, twii to̱no̱ a ni̱nggu̱ to̱o̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱ ri̱yandi̱ bu̱ri̱.>>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.”

3Di̱ngi̱n co̱nggo̱ yo̱u̱ a din nu̱wa twala Yohanna, cala yi̱ cali a manna jaru̱m. A ni̱nga yi̱to̱ di̱ngi̱n Hirudiya twii nu̱re̱ ci̱ya yo̱ Pilibus, wu yo̱ yiki yo̱.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Di̱ngi̱n Yohanna ni̱nga pu sagu̱ Hiridus ki̱n, <<Yaa ci̱maci̱ma yi̱ te̱e̱ri̱ Yambai̱ ma yiki nu̱re̱ ci̱ya mo̱!>>because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Hiridus kasa ba ji yo̱, anda a nu̱u̱ gwasi̱ nu̱wa bu Yudaya wa, di̱ngi̱n pma de̱e̱ Yohanna twii banabi̱.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Nyanggu̱ danggu̱gu̱ yi̱ bir Hiridus bo̱l Hirudiya wu nu̱re̱ sii ko̱lo̱ gawu̱ri̱ ru̱nggu̱wa ya mwa mwa. A bwalaman dwii HiridusOn Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7a ni̱ngaman yo̱ alkawal ki̱n, <<N we̱re̱nga n nyi̱i̱mi̱nu̱ we̱i̱ kana ca tu ma senggoi!>>so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Njaa yo̱ saa, ba sa Hiridus ki̱n, <<Nyi̱i̱nggi̱ dwii Yohanna wu Ni̱ngi̱ Bati̱si̱ma yo̱ko̱ yo̱ko̱ a pi̱lai̱!>>Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Balaa gaanggu̱ yo̱u̱ bwiiwa, anda yake̱ ku ni̱nga alkawal yi̱ we̱ra a gawu̱r ru̱nggu̱wa ya a diin nu̱wa nyi̱i̱ tu kasai̱.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱ a sa nu̱wa ba mwarwe̱ dwii Yohanna wu Ni̱ngi̱ Bati̱si̱ma a jaru̱m.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11Nu̱wa de̱e̱ dwii ye̱i̱ a pi̱lai̱ nu̱wa nyi̱i̱ bwe̱e̱canga wii, a de̱man njaa yo̱.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Kwati̱mba Yohanna wu Ni̱ngi̱ Bati̱si̱ma wa baanga ba de̱ bu̱ri̱ ye̱i̱ aanda tingo, pma mwatanga sa Yesu.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Pu Yesu nu̱u̱ labar Yohanna, a geero konggoru, a aara pu yaa nu̱wau̱ yo̱ wundu. Ku nu̱wa nu̱u̱ tu ni̱ngi̱ wa pma twiyo go̱ro̱ndi̱ pma a pe̱e̱ yi̱ mwari po̱ng yo̱.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.

14Yesu julo konggoru a ko̱ nu̱wa tum a nu̱u̱ bunam pmau a mi̱ra pma bu yaa cingcing wa pma yi̱langa.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Pu nyambi̱ranggu̱ ni̱nga kwati̱mba ya baanga bo̱nggo̱ yo̱u̱ a se̱e̱ ki̱n, <<Po̱o̱ wuna ti̱na gu̱lai̱, yo̱ko̱ nyambi̱ranggu̱ ni̱nga. Sa nu̱wa bo̱o̱ ba aanda go̱ro̱ndi̱ tu ne̱m, palaka ba te̱nmanu̱we̱ bu̱ri̱ pmai je̱e̱ndi̱.>>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.”

16Yesu nyi̱i̱ pma le̱e̱ ki̱n, <Ko̱po̱ ba mwatanga ne̱, anda mba bu nyi̱i̱ pma yi̱ri̱ ba je̱!>>“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Pma se̱e̱ ki̱n, <<Tu yi bo̱o̱ yi̱ to̱no̱i̱ mwa mwa ti̱na ku̱maa nuwo yi̱ jindi ro̱p ti̱bak.>>“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Yesu sa pma ki̱n, <<Bu de̱ngu̱we̱ pi̱na.>>“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19A sa nu̱wa bwii ba si̱ndi̱ si̱ye̱i̱, a dwii si̱yangi̱. A de̱e̱ ku̱maa wu nuwo wii yi̱ jindi su ro̱p swii, a wun dwii diyou, a ni̱nga wandi̱ma a ge̱le̱nga ku̱maa wii. A nyi̱i̱ kwati̱mba ya ba cwaanga, pma cwaanga nu̱wa bwii.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.

20Anda mwa mwa pmau je̱ riyanga. Kwati̱mba ya gamanga buburingi tu nyonai, a twanga taci̱ngi̱ kwap su̱r ro̱p.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Ku̱ci̱ nu̱wa bu je̱ je̱e̱ndu̱ wa bwii twii nambi̱rmba tedu nuwo yaa mu̱ri̱nggi̱ nu̱ru̱mba yi̱ bakwara.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Yo̱ko̱ yo̱ko̱ Yesu sa kwati̱mba ya ba teendo konggoru ba cwiyongo yerou you, pma du yo̱ anda a sa nu̱wa bwii ba mwatanga.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Pu nu̱wa bwii mwatanga, Yesu geero ci̱ngu̱ yo̱ wundu di̱ngi̱n ba ce̱ ku̱ru̱. Kum ni̱nga wo̱o̱ pwii yo̱ wundu.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Anda a do̱o̱ jo̱re̱ konggoru wii ni̱nga kwaara yi̱ gi̱ngu̱ yo̱u̱, gwe̱re̱ gundu turonggu pma di̱ngi̱n wuture wii jagu̱ pma so̱ngma.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Pu kacu ni̱nga, Yesu aara bo̱nggo̱ pmau yi̱ nau a dwii gundi.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Pu kwati̱mba ya ko̱ yo̱ so̱ngma dwii gundui pma nu̱u̱ gwasi̱, pma ni̱nga duwai ki̱n <<Twii pi̱ti̱ngga!>> Pma nu̱u̱ gwasi̱ wang.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Yo̱ko̱ yo̱ko̱, Yesu sa pma ci̱ye̱i̱ ki̱n, <<Bu bo̱ gaanggu̱, bu nu̱u̱ya gwasi̱, wuna mi!>>But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Anda Bitrus se̱e̱ ki̱n, <<Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra ka wo̱o̱ mo̱ we̱i̱ sangge̱ n baa bo̱nggo̱ mo̱u̱ n ni̱nga so̱ngma gundu.>>“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Yesu le̱e̱man yo̱ ki̱n. <<Bame̱.>> Bur Bitrus twiyo mi̱ri̱nggi̱ konggoru a yanna so̱ngma a dwii gundu aara bo̱nggo̱ Yesu.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Anda pu ko̱ wutur gundu wii yi̱ di̱mbi̱re̱ a nu̱u̱ gwasi̱ a toso ji̱mti̱gu̱ a gundu. A ba kwarame̱ ki̱n, <<Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra, mi̱rangge̱.>>But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Yesu yaki wai yo̱u̱ a taa yo̱ ce̱ ki̱n, <<Ma yaa le̱e̱gu̱ ji̱re̱u̱. Di̱ngi̱n ca ma cwaanga gaanggi̱r ro̱p?>>Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Pu pma teendo mi̱ri̱nggu̱ konggoru wii, bur wutur wii gwata.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Nu̱wa bu mi̱ri̱nggi̱ konggoru bwii ku̱raman si̱ma Yesu a ce̱gu̱ ki̱n, <<Manggu ma Bo̱l Yamba.>>Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Pu pma yerongo kali̱nggu̱ kwii, pma julongo a Jenesarata.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Pu nu̱wa bu gwe̱i̱ dwii ku̱ranga Yesu, pma tu̱mami̱n si̱ma bwii mwa mwa. Pma ni̱nga pu de̱gu̱ nu̱wa bu bu̱ri̱ yaa cingcing wa bo̱nggo̱ Yesu.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Pma senggo yo̱ ba du nu̱wa bu yaa cingcing wa ba mwaanga nyan landa yo̱u̱, anda kana we̱ wu mwaanga nyan landa yo̱u̱ a yi̱la.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
