< Matthew 14 >

1 Ní àkókò náà ni Herodu ọba tetrarki gbọ́ nípa òkìkí Jesu,
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Yeshua,
2 ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Dájúdájú Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi ni èyí, ó jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú. Ìdí nìyí tí ó fi ní agbára láti ṣiṣẹ́ ìyanu wọ̀nyí.”
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 Nísinsin yìí Herodu ti mú Johanu, ó fi ẹ̀wọ̀n dè é, ó sì fi sínú túbú, nítorí Herodia aya Filipi arákùnrin rẹ̀,
For Herod had arrested Yochanan, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 nítorí Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi ti sọ fún Herodu pé, “Kò yẹ fún ọ láti fẹ́ obìnrin náà.”
For Yochanan said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 Herodu fẹ́ pa Johanu, ṣùgbọ́n ó bẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn nítorí gbogbo ènìyàn gbàgbọ́ pé wòlíì ni.
When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Ní ọjọ́ àsè ìrántí ọjọ́ ìbí Herodu, ọmọ Herodia obìnrin jó dáradára, ó sì tẹ́ Herodu lọ́run gidigidi.
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced amongst them and pleased Herod.
7 Nítorí náà ni ó ṣe fi ìbúra ṣe ìlérí láti fún un ní ohunkóhun ti ó bá béèrè fún.
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Pẹ̀lú ìmọ̀ràn láti ọ̀dọ̀ ìyá rẹ̀, ó béèrè pé, “Fún mi ni orí Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi nínú àwopọ̀kọ́”.
She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of Yochanan the Immerser.”
9 Inú ọba bàjẹ́ gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ìbúra rẹ̀ àti kí ojú má ba à tì í níwájú àwọn àlejò tó wà ba jẹ àsè, ó pàṣẹ pé kí wọ́n fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti fẹ́.
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 Nítorí náà, a bẹ́ orí Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi nínú ilé túbú.
and he sent and beheaded Yochanan in the prison.
11 A sì gbé orí rẹ̀ jáde láti fi fún ọmọbìnrin náà nínú àwopọ̀kọ́, òun sì gbà á, ó gbé e tọ ìyá rẹ̀ lọ.
His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
12 Lẹ́yìn náà, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Johanu wá gba òkú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì sin ín. Wọ́n sì wá sọ ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ fún Jesu.
His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Yeshua.
13 Nígbà tí Jesu gbọ́ ìròyìn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ náà, ó kúrò níbẹ̀, ó bá ọkọ̀ ojú omi lọ sí ibi kọ́lọ́fín kan ní èbúté láti dá wà níbẹ̀. Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì fi ẹsẹ̀ rìn tẹ̀lé e láti ọ̀pọ̀ ìlú wọn.
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 Nígbà ti Jesu gúnlẹ̀, tí ó sì rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn, inú rẹ̀ yọ́ sí wọn, ó sì mú àwọn aláìsàn láradá.
Yeshua went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 Nígbà ti ilẹ̀ ń ṣú lọ, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ibi yìí jìnnà sí ìlú ilẹ̀ sì ń ṣú lọ. Rán àwọn ènìyàn lọ sí àwọn ìletò kí wọ́n lè ra oúnjẹ jẹ.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu fèsì pé, “Kò nílò kí wọ́n lọ kúrò. Ẹ fún wọn ní oúnjẹ.”
But Yeshua said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Wọ́n sì dalóhùn pé, “Àwa kò ní ju ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún àti ẹja méjì lọ níhìn-ín.”
They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 Ó wí pé, “Ẹ mú wọn wá fún mi níhìn-ín yìí.”
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Lẹ́yìn náà, ó wí fún àwọn ènìyàn kí wọ́n jókòó lórí koríko. Lẹ́yìn náà, ó mú ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún àti ẹja méjì. Ó gbé ojú rẹ̀ sí ọ̀run. Ó béèrè ìbùkún Ọlọ́run lórí oúnjẹ náà, Ó sì bù ú, ó sì fi àkàrà náà fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn láti pín in fún àwọn ènìyàn.
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 Gbogbo wọn sì jẹ àjẹyó. Lẹ́yìn náà àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kó àjẹkù jọ, ó kún agbọ̀n méjìlá.
They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Iye àwọn ènìyàn ni ọjọ́ náà jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ọkùnrin, láìka àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé.
Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 Lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ lẹ́yìn èyí, Jesu wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ kí wọ́n bọ sínú ọkọ̀ wọn, àti kí wọ́n máa kọjá lọ ṣáájú rẹ̀ sí òdìkejì. Òun náà dúró lẹ́yìn láti tú àwọn ènìyàn ká lọ sí ilé wọn.
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 Lẹ́yìn tí ó tú ìjọ ènìyàn ká tán, ó gun orí òkè lọ fúnra rẹ̀ láti lọ gba àdúrà. Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ ṣú, òun wà nìkan níbẹ̀,
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 ní àkókò yìí ọkọ̀ ojú omi náà ti rin jìnnà sí etí bèbè Òkun, tí ìjì omi ń tì í síwá sẹ́yìn, nítorí ìjì ṣe ọwọ́ òdì sí wọn.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Ní déédé ago mẹ́rin òwúrọ̀, Jesu tọ̀ wọ́n wá, ó ń rìn lórí omi.
In the fourth watch of the night, Yeshua came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rí i tí ó ń rìn lójú omi, ẹ̀rù ba wọn gidigidi, wọ́n rò pé “iwin ni,” wọ́n kígbe tìbẹ̀rù tìbẹ̀rù.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 Lójúkan náà, Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú ọkàn le! Èmi ni ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù.”
But immediately Yeshua spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
28 Peteru sì ké sí i pé, “Olúwa, bí ó bá jẹ́ pé ìwọ ni nítòótọ́, sọ pé kí n tọ̀ ọ́ wà lórí omi.”
Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Ó dára, máa bọ̀ wá.” Nígbà náà ni Peteru sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti inú ọkọ̀. Ó ń rìn lórí omi lọ sí ìhà ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu.
He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Yeshua.
30 Nígbà tí ó rí afẹ́fẹ́ líle, ẹ̀rù bà á, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í rì. Ó kígbe lóhùn rara pé, “Gbà mí, Olúwa.”
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 Lójúkan náà, Jesu na ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó dìímú, ó sì gbà á. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ṣiyèméjì ìwọ onígbàgbọ́ kékeré?”
Immediately Yeshua stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Àti pé, nígbà ti wọ́n sì gòkè sínú ọkọ̀, ìjì náà sì dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Nígbà náà ni àwọn to wà nínú ọkọ̀ náà foríbalẹ̀ fún un wọ́n wí pé, “Nítòótọ́ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ í ṣe.”
Those who were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
34 Nígbà tí wọn rékọjá sí apá kejì wọ́n gúnlẹ̀ sí Genesareti.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Nígbà tiwọn mọ̀ pé Jesu ni, wọn sì ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo ìlú náà yíká. Wọ́n sì gbé gbogbo àwọn aláìsàn tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
When the people of that place recognised him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
36 Àwọn aláìsàn bẹ̀ ẹ́ pé kí ó gba àwọn láyè láti fi ọwọ́ kan ìṣẹ́tí aṣọ rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sì rí ìwòsàn.
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
