Matthew 14 (ZAJ)

1Kipigiti kija Helode Antipa, mtawala wa Galilaya, kahulika mbuli za Yesu,At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2avo kawalongela watumigwa zake, “Ino iyo Yohana M'batiza, kazuka kulawa mwa wanhu wadanganhike, kileka mana mhiko za kutenda mizonza zosang'hanika mgati yake.”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.”

3Kwavija Helode kakala yamgogile Yohana, kamfunga nzabi na kumgela mkifungo sama ya Helodia, mtwanzi wa mkulu wake yokemigwa Filipo.Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4Kwavija Yohana kakala yomulongela Helode, “Kutenda gagomeswe na Malagizo ga Musa kumsola Helodia!”because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5Helode kalonda kumkoma Yohana, ila kawadumba wanhu kwavija wakala wampetile kamba Yohana kakala muhokozi.Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

6Muna dizua da lusona lwa ng'humbukila ya mvumbuka ya Helode, mndele wa Helodia kavina haulongozi wa iwahenza. Helode kanogelwa,On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod

7kamduilila na kamulongela kamba komgwelela kinhu chochose chondayapule.so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

8Kuno yoswagizwa na mamaake, kalonga, “Nigwelele pala da Yohana M'batiza bahano muna ulungo!”Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9Mndewa kona giogio ng'hani, ila sama ya kiduilo chayaiduile na sama ya iwahenza wakalile haja, kalagiza yagweleligwe,The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

10avo kalagiza pala da Yohana dikanhigwe muja mkifungo.and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

11Pala jake digaligwa mulungo na kugweleligwa imndele, na heyo kamgalila mamaake.John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

12Wanahina wa Yohana weza na kulusola lukuli lwake na kuluzika. Abaho, wachola kumulongela Yesu gaja galawilile.Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

13Yesu viyahulike mbuli za Yohana, kanyelenhuka kulawa hanhu haja kakwela mngalawa kachola hanhu halibule wanhu. Ila wanhu viwahulike, walawa m'viwambo wamkoleleza na magulu.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 viyahumuluke muna ingalawa, kawonela bazi na kuwahonya wanhu zao wakalile watamu.When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15Viivikile ichungulo wanahina wamcholela wamulongela, “Zua diswa na hano twa mkiwala, avo walongele iwanhu wachole m'viwambo wakaigulile mandia.”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 kawedika, “Hawalondigwa wachole, wagweleleni mweye kinhu cha kuja!”“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

17Na hewo wamulongela, “Hano twabule kinhu ila mikate mitano na somba wabili viiyeka.”“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18Yesu kawalongela, “Vigaleni hano hamwangu.”“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.

19Kawalagiza wanhu wakale hasi muluzondo, abaho, kaisola imikate mitano na iwasomba wabili, kalola kuulanga, na kumuheweza Mulungu. Abaho kaimogola imikate, kawagwelela wanahina, na wanahina wawagwelela iwanhu.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.

20Wose waja na kwiguta. Abaho wanahina wadondola vidanga va imikate na iwasomba visigale, wamemeza vigelo longo dimwe na vibili.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21Mheta ya wanhu wadile imikate wakala wambigalo alufu tano, uhaleka watwanzi na wana.About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

22Abaho, Yesu kawalagiza wanahina wakwele muna ingalawa wamulongole mwambu uyagwe wa idilamba, kipigiti heyo vayakalile yowalaga wanhu.Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

23Viyamambukize kuwalaga, kakwela hakigongo yeiyeka kutambika. Na zua vidiswele, Yesu kakala hiko yeiyeka.After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24Ila kipigiti kino ingalawa ikala kutali na iisi inyalile, ikunhizwa na mawimbi kwavija beho dikala dolawa kuulongozi wa ingalawa.but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25Mkipigiti cha nzogolo zikwika Yesu kawacholela wanahina zake, yotembela uchana ya igamazi.During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26Wanahina viwamuwene yotembela uchana ya igamazi, wona bwembwe, walonga, “Mzimu!” Waguta nyangi kuno wogudema.When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27Bahaja Yesu kawalongela, “Gangamaleni! Iyo nene, sambimdumbe!”But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28Petulo kamulongela, “Mndewa, kamba iyo gweye, nilagize nitembele uchana ya gamazi nize kumwako.”“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29Yesu kamwidika, “Izo!” Avo Petulo kahumuluka muna ingalawa, na kutembela uchana ya gamazi, na kumcholela Yesu.“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

30Ila viyadiwene dibeho, kadumba, na kusonga kudidimila muna gamazi, kaguta nyangi yolonga, “Mndewa, nikombole!”But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Bahaja Yesu kagolosa mkono wake, kamgoga kamulongela, “Gweye uli na nhamanila ndodo! Habali usinha?”Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32Na viwakwelile muna ingalawa, dibeho dinyamala.And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33Wose wakalile muna ingalawa wamtambikila walonga, “Kweli gweye iyo Mwana wa Mulungu!”Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34Viweshile kuloka idilamba, wavika kuna iisi ya Genesaleti.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35Wanhu wa hiko viwamtangile Yesu, wabwililisa mbuli zake m'viwambo vose vili mmambwegambwega, na wamgalila wanhu wose wakalile watamu.And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

36Wamuyalalila kamba yawaleke wanhu wakalile watamu wakwase lugigo lwa guo jake, na wose walukwasile wahona.and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
