Matthew 14 (XSN)

1A were name Ogomo Hiridus Antipas wa kone oroka azaa Yeso.At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2Nawa bekaa azara wai na, “Ondoonaa Yohana o Batisma, waya a ara wai malo ogwǝ, nyimia wa ote na waya kaa o bare o eza epa otera ukpwei na.”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.”

3Obena Hiridus wa meke Yohana na tere wai, aa ote wai a akwilǝ andaleme azaa Herodiya ondaye orone owai Pilibus.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Azaa bena Yohana wa beeze awai na wa ta gwara awa ana Herodiya ka ka itǝ ondaye wai ne.because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Pate ka o bena Hiridus waya yeme wonga Yohana, aa waya kona boome be aromo, aa ne jeke o bena Yohana ondo beya ngmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili wai.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Nangka lengme le o ngmenga o Hiridus le dukǝ, na kagala ka Herodiya ka yo leera a begeshe be aromo kane de ara o zǝnggǝ me, na Hiridus kone oleba maleo,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7nawa tono a kai na wayo nya kai pate epa eeka ka bosa.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Na iini kai bekaa kai na ale ka o bekaana, “A nyau ukpwei o Yohana o Batisma nannameena a nyimi oso.”Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Na ogomo kone oburu, aza obena wa tono abegeshe be ageng wai, nawa ote na a nya kai epa eeka kaa bosa.The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10Nawa tong na core ukpwei o Yohana a akwilǝ andaleme,and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11na de ka ukpwei me a nyimi oso na nya kagala ka me, na ka ca iini kai.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Na ana o tare Yohana de nane ana ekeze me, na ne taashe, aa ne ale na ne beka Yeso.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Nangka Yeso ka kone nyimi, naka ere naka lyǝ o onggo o taara manyi aaka ale ara aaka aromo ta rene ne ka ka cikǝ a yende. Nangka aromo acak ne kone nyimi, na ne surǝ a topepeng na ne tare kai a tobona.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.

14Ka o surǝ kai o onggo o tara manyi naka laka leguki le aromo. Naka kone egonegone o ne, naka womza ana makono nyimi o ne.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Nangka ulyǝlu waye, na atoma kai de akai na ne bekaa na, “Ara na a aromo ta rene ne, a waana ulyǝlu waya. Baya aromo ana ane ale a topepeng kane gere tukpwei tone epaolya.”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.”

16Na Yeso bekaa ne na, “Wata gwara aane ale ne, nyana ne eyapa ka ne lye.”“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Na ne kabare na, “Teta ka eyapa arakaname, soona maborode esu ka ekwala e leere.”“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Na ka bekaa na, “Deyana ka e arakaana.”“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Aaka ote aromo me na ne cikǝ azaa mawake. Naka jeke, maborode esu ka ekwala leere, naka ara ukpwei aaza shili, aaka sabe Ashili, naka pose maborode mame aaka nyaza atoma kai, a atoma me kangza aa ne nyaza aromo.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.

20A pate one ne lye na ne tiyǝ, na ne kurki o dangare me, nawa panza makende betuuru ka maleere.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Andaaka ne lye ne dukǝ andaleme magu esu bangka andaye ka ayana.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Ka o mara me naka ote atoma kai na ne lyǝ o onggo o tara manyi ka ne kaana kai a ale owulu o sara yende. Aa kai ka itǝ a dimǝ ka ka laka o aleze a tokwilǝ te aromo me.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Malo ale aromo me, naka zale oyara kai a yende kaka beye angmǝ ka Ashili. Na ulyǝlu ye aa kaya yende saname.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24A wereme o onggo o taara manyi waya tera lepong, na sejǝng se manyi se ere ka legoone, obena obere me waya kara ka ne.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Aa ra aa dukǝ beru bo taaro be lelere, na Yeso yeng azaa manyi aaka dore ne.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Nangka atoma ne laka kai aa yenga azaa manyi na boome meke ne nane bekaana, “Bebua be!” Nane gware bekoko azaa obena nee kona boome.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27A saseya naka bekaa nee na, “Kane kone boome ne Mea. Kane kone boome ne.”But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Na Biturusu kabare wai na, “Ateokora boa baaza, oteng kang deya bo aa yenga azaa manyi.”“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Na Yeso bekaa wai na, “Deya.” Na Biturusu suri o onggo o taara manyi, nawa yeng azaa manyi a wa dore Yeso.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Awereaka wa laka obere wa ere a jǝng nawa kone boome. Nangka manyi ma bore dongha wai nawa rurai, awa bekaa na, “Ateokora bozang!”But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Aa saseya na Yeso nayi o ara naka meke wai, aaka bekaa wai na, “Bo o kabare ka Ashili au wa sawa, eya e ote na ba dambaraza?”Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Ka o lyǝ one o onggo o taara manyi na obere me tete.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Andaaka neya a nyimi onggo o tara manyi ma me na ne girwǝ ane bekaa na, “Bo dongdong, Kena ka Ashili kai!”Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Nangka ne tare opong ome, na ne lyǝ a makeke ma Janasarata.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Nangka aromo apeng me ne rose bena Yesoa kai, na ne tongze a kombela aromo apat a topepeng te ma'amo, na ne casa kai ana makono,And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Na ne boshe kai na ka kabare aa ne cocome edǝki odibi kai. Pate andaaka ne cocome na ne woma.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
