< Matthew 14 >

1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
In pacl sac Herod, leum lun acn Galilee, el lohng pweng kacl Jesus.
2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
El fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “El inge pa John Baptais a sifil akmoulyeyukyak el, pa oru oasr ku lal in oru mwenmen inge uh.”
3 For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
Herod pa tuh sap in sruhu John, ac in kapiri el ac itukyang nu in presin. El oru ouinge ke sripacl Herodias, su tuh payuk meet sel Phillip, tamulel lal.
4 For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
In kutu pacl meet, John Baptais el tuh fahk nu sel Herod, “Tia fal kom in payuk sel Herodias!”
5 When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Na Herod el tuh kena unilya John, tuh el sangeng sin mwet Jew, mweyen elos pangon John el sie mwet palu.
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
Ke sun len lal Herod, acn natul Herodias el tuh tacn ye mutun walil sac. Ac ke sripen yohk engan lal Herod,
7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
el tuh wuleang nu sel ac fahk, “Nga fulahk lah nga ac sot nu sum kutena ma kom lungse!”
8 She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
Na mutan sac fahk oana ke nina kial ah tuh fahk nu sel, “Ase nu sik ingena insifal John Baptais in sie ahlu!”
9 The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
Tokosra el arulana oela kac, tuh mweyen el tuh wulela ye mutun mwet loh puspis, ouinge el sap in itukyang enenu lun mutan sac.
10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
Ke ma inge el sap in pakpukla sifal John in presin.
11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
Na sifa sac oan in sie ahlu ac utuku nu sin mutan fusr sac, ac el usla nu sin nina kial ah.
12 His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
Mwet tuma lutlut lal John elos tuku, ac usla manol ac pikinya; tari elos som ac fahkang nu sin Jesus.
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
Ke Jesus el lohng pweng kacl John, el oayak ac som nu ke sie acn ma wangin mwet muta we. Mwet uh lohngak, na elos som tokol, ut na finmes uh.
14 Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Jesus el srola liki oak uh, ac ke el liye un mwet na pus sac, el arulana pakomutalos ac el akkeyala mwet mas lalos.
15 When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”
Ke ekela, mwet tumal lutlut elos kalukyang nu yorol ac fahk, “Ac fongeni pa inge, ac acn uh loesla nu ke acn mwet uh muta we. Supwala mwet uh elos in som nu in siti srisrik ac sifacna moul mongo nalos.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
Na Jesus el fahk, “Elos tia enenu in som. Komtal sang kutu mongo an elos in kang!”
17 They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
Na elos fahk, “Pwayena ma oasr yorosr pa lof in bread limekosr ac ik lukwa.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to me.”
Na el fahk, “Use nu sik.”
19 He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
El sap mwet uh in muta fin mah uh. Na el eis lof limekosr ac ik lukwa ah, ngetak nu lucng ac sang kulo nu sin God. El kunsalik bread uh ac sang nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, na elos sang nu sin mwet uh.
20 They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
Mwet nukewa mongo ac kihpi. Na mwet tumal lutlut elos orani fotoh singoul luo ke luwen mongo uh.
21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
Pisen mwet mukul ma mongo uh sahp ac oasr ke tausin limekosr, tia oaoa mutan ac tulik uh.
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Na Jesus el sap mwet tumal lutlut in sroang nu fin oak uh ac kalot meet nu lefahlo ke el supwalik mwet uh.
23 After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
Tukun el supwalik mwet uh, el utyak nu fineol uh in pre we. Ke ekela, Jesus el mukena muta in acn sac,
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
ac ke pacl se inge, oak soko ah som loes tari in lulu ah, ac noa uh sisot sisma mweyen eng uh tuhyak ac fungulya oak uh.
25 In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
Inmasrlon ao tolu ac ao onkosr ke lotutang, Jesus el tuku sun mwet tumal lutlut, ac el fahsr na fin kof uh.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
Ke elos liyal ke el fahsr fin kof uh elos arulana sangeng, ac kutu selos fahk, “Inut se!” ac wowoyak ke sangeng.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
In kitin pacl ah na Jesus el kasang nu selos ac fahk, “Akkeye kowos, nga na pa inge. Nimet sangeng!”
28 Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
Na Peter el kasla ac fahk, “Leum, fin kom pa ingan, sap nga in fahsrot fin kof uh nu yurum.”
29 He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
Na Jesus el fahk, “Fahsru!” Na Peter el srola liki oak uh ac mutawauk in fahsr fin kof uh nu yurin Jesus.
30 But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
Tusruktu ke el liye upa lun eng uh, el sangeng ac mutawauk in tili nu inkof uh. Na el wowoyak ac fahk, “O Leum, moliyula!”
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
In kitin pacl ah na Jesus el asroela paol, sruokilya ac fahk, “O kom su srikla lulalfongi la! Efu kom ku alolo?”
32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
Eltal kewa sroang nu fin oak uh, na eng uh mihsla.
33 Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
Mwet tumal lutlut su muta in oak uh elos epasr ac alu nu sin Jesus. Elos fahk, “Pwayena kom Wen nutin God!”
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
Elos tupalma in lulu sac ac oai in acn Gennesaret,
35 When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
ac mwet we akilenul Jesus. Ouinge elos sapwalik mwet nu yurin mwet mas nukewa in acn ma oan apkuran nu we tuh elos in usalosme nu yurin Jesus.
36 and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
Elos kwafe sel elan lela mwet mas uh in kahlyena finne pulan nuknuk lal uh; ac mwet nukewa su kahlye, elos kwela.
