Mahte 14
1 Acun k'um üng Kalile Upki Herod naw Jesuha mawng cun ngja lü,
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Yeshua,
2 a khyang he üng, “Ani cun Baptican Johan ni, thihnak üngka naw tho beki, acunakyase ni müncanksee jah pawhnak khawha johit taki,” a ti.
and said to his servants, “This is Yochanan the Immerser. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
3 Herod naw Johan cun man lü, a na Philipa khyu Herodiha phäha thawngim üng ahlana a khyuma kyaki.
For Herod had arrested Yochanan, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 Johan naw Herod üng, “Na naa khyu na khyunak vai ta am nglawiki ni,” a tia phäha kyaki.
For Yochanan said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 Herod naw Johan hnim hlüki kyaw Judah khyang he a jah kyüh. Isetiakyaküng Johan cun Judah khyang he naw sahmaa ami ngaiha kyaki.
When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Heroda hminaka mhnüp üng, Herodiha canu cun Herod ja a khinea maa nglamki. Herod amsüma jeki.
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced amongst them and pleased Herod.
7 “Ka ng’yünki, na hlüei na tä naküt ka ning pe khai” ti lü Herod naw Herodiha canu üng bekhüt a pet.
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 A nu naw a cüka kba nglaca cun naw, “Mlikbe üng Baptican Johana lu na pea!” a ti.
She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of Yochanan the Immerser.”
9 Sangpuxang cun pukseki, cunüngpi a khinea maa a khyütama pänga kyase nglacaa hlüei cun ami pawh vaia a jah mtheh.
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,
10 Acunüng thawngima khyang tüih lü Johana lu a khyüngsak.
and he sent and beheaded Yochanan in the prison.
11 Johana lu cun mlikbe üng lawpüi lü nglaca üng pe u se, nglaca naw a nua veia a cehpüi.
His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
12 Johana hnükläke law u lü a yawk cehpüi lü, k’utkie naw Jesuh üng ami va mtheh.
His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Yeshua.
13 Jesuh naw Johana mawng a ngjak üng, mlawng am ngcum lü ahinak mawkpyawnga citki. Acun ngjaki khyang he naw ami mlüh jah hawih hüt lü ami khaw am läki he.
Now when Yeshua 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.
14 Mlawng üngka naw a kyum law üng Jesuh naw khyangpänu jah hmuh lü jah mpyeneiki, am phetkie a jah mdaw be.
Yeshua went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 Khaw a mü law hlü üng axüisaw he a veia law u lü, “Ahin hin maw ni, khaw pi mthan hnühki ni. Khyang he hin jah tüiha, ami ei vai ngnamea ami ei phäh phäh vai khyäiei hü u se” ami ti.
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.”
16 Jesuh naw, “Athuknaka ami ceh vai am hlü, nangmi naw ami ei vai aipi jah pe ua,” a ti.
But Yeshua said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Amimi naw, “Muk mhma ja nga nghngihca däk ni kami tak ve u,” ti u se,
They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Ka veia lawpüi ua,” a ti.
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Khyang he cun msaia khana ngaw khai hea a jah mtheh. Acunkäna muk mhma ja nga nghngih cun jah lo lü khana mang lü Pamhnam üng jenak mthehki. Muke cun jah bo lü axüisaw he üng a jah pet. A axüisaw he naw khyang he üng ami jah pet.
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.
20 Avan naw ei lü phü u se, ami ei k’hläi cun axüisaw he naw ami mcun be üng cä xaleinghngiha lawki.
They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Eikie naküt cun nghnumi ja hnasen am pakia, kpami däk thawngmhma lawki he.
Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 Acunüng Jesuh naw khyang he a jah tüih be käna, axüisaw he cun mlawng üng cayea a jah na cehsak.
Immediately Yeshua made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 Acukba khyang he a jah tüih be päng üng, amätca mcunga ktaiyü khaia kaiki. Khaw mü law se, amät däk acuia veki.
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.
24 Acunüng mlawng cun kawng üngka naw a thuknak tuili nglunga ve se tuingnawk naw a ceh hü.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Khaw athaih law hlü üng, Jesuh tuia khana a khaw am axüisaw hea veia lawki.
In the fourth watch of the night, Yeshua came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Axüisawe naw tuia khana a law ami hmuh üng kyühei law u lü, “Hin hin ngmüimkhya ni,” ti u lü ngpyangkie.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 Jesuh naw, “Käh kyüei ua, Kei ni,” a ti.
But immediately Yeshua spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
28 Pita naw msang lü, “Bawipa aw, nang na ni üng, tuia khana ka law hnga khaia na mtheha,” a ti.
Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 “Lawa,” Jesuh naw a ti. Acunüng Pita mlawng üngka naw kco law lü Jesuha veia cit khaia tuia khana citki.
He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Yeshua.
30 Acunüngpi khawa khi law a hmuh üng kyühei lü tui üng ju ngcumei lü, “Bawipa aw, na küikyana,” ti lü ngpyang se,
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 Jesuh naw man be lü, “Jumeinak ngcekia khyang aw, ivaia na mlung uplatki ni” a ti.
Immediately Yeshua stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Mlawng üng ani kai be ja khawkhi ngdüm beki.
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Mlawnga k’uma veki axüisaw he naw hjawkhah law u lü, “Nang hin Pamhnama Capa na kya kcangki ni,” ami ti.
Those who were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
34 Tuili cayea va pek u lü Kenesaret hnea lawki he.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Acuia ka khyang he naw Jesuh ami ksing üng, acuna pipei üngkae pe naküt üng khyang he jah tüih hü u lü am phetkie naküt ami jah lawpüi u.
When the people of that place recognised him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
36 A suisak mdawngca hman hneh vaia nghuinakie, acunüng, aupi hneki naküt cun phet bekie.
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
