Mateus 14

1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning 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." 3 For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." 5 When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod. 7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask. 8 She, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer."

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, 10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison. 11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother. 12 His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told 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.

14 Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick. 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."

16 But Jesus said to them, "They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat."

17 They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

18 He said, "Bring them here to me." 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. 20 They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces. 21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

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. 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. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 In the fourth watch of the night,*14:25 The night was equally divided into four watches, so the fourth watch is approximately 3:00 a.m. to sunrise. Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.✝14:25 See Job 9:8 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It’s a ghost!" and they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Cheer up! It is I! *14:27 or, I AM! Don’t be afraid."

28 Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."

29 He said, "Come!"

Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to 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!"

31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" 32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God!"

34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of 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; 36 and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe*14:36 or, tassel of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

Te Matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri

1 I taua wā, ka rongo a Herora te tetaraki ki te rongo o Īhu, 2 ā, ka mea ki āna pononga, "Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tēnei; kua ara mai ia i te hunga mate; ā, nā reira i mahi ai ngā merekara i roto i a ia."

3 I hopukia hoki a Hoani e Herora, ā, hereherea ana e ia, ā, makā ana ki te whare herehere, he mea hoki nā Herōriaha, nā te wahine a tōna tuakana, a Piripi. 4 I mea hoki a Hoani ki a ia, "E kore e tika kia riro ia i a koe." 5 Ā, i a ia e mea ana ki te whakamate i a ia, ka wehi i te mano; ki tā rātou hoki he poropiti ia.

6 Otirā, i te taenga ki te rā whānau o Herora, ka kanikani te tamāhine a Herōriaha i waenganui i a rātou, ā, ka āhuareka a Herora. 7 Kātahi ia ka mea ki a ia, oati rawa, kia hoatu ki a ia tāna mea e tono ai.

8 Nā, he mea whakakīkī ia nā tōna whaea, ka mea, "Hōmai ki konei ki ahau i runga i te rīhi te mātenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri."

9 Heoi, ka pōuri te kīngi; otiia, i whakaaro ia ki te oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, ā, ka mea kia hoatu. 10 Nā, ka tono tāngata ia, ā, pōutoa ana te mātenga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere. 11 Ā, i mauria tōna mātenga i runga i te rīhi, i hoatu ki te kōtiro; kawea atu ana e ia ki tōna whaea. 12 Nā, ka haere āna ākonga, ka tango i te tinana, ā, tanumia ana e rātou, ā, haere ana, kōrero ana ki a Īhu.

Ka Whāngaia e Īhu te Rima Mano

13 Nā, i te rongonga o Īhu, ka haere atu ia i reira rā te kaipuke ki te koraha, ki te wāhi motu kē. Ā, nō ka rongo te mano, ka aru i a ia rā uta i roto i ngā pā. 14 Ā, ka puta atu a Īhu, ka kite i te huihuinga nui, ka aroha ia ki a rātou, ā, whakaorangia ana e ia ō rātou tūroro.

15 Ā, nō ka ahiahi, ka haere atu āna ākonga ki a ia, ka mea, "He wāhi koraha tēnei, kua heke noa atu te rā; tonoa atu te mano, kia haere ai rātou ki ngā kāinga, ki te hoko kai mā rātou."

16 Anō rā ko Īhu ki a rātou, "Kāhore he mea e haere ai rātou; mā koutou e hoatu he kai mā rātou."

17 Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Heoi anō a mātou i konei, e rima ngā taro, e rua hoki ngā ika."

18 Nā, ka mea ia, "Mauria mai ki konei ki ahau." 19 Nā, ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki runga i te tarutaru, ka mau i ngā taro e rima, i ngā ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, ā, hoatu ana e ia ngā taro ki ngā ākonga, ā, nā ngā ākonga ki te mano. 20 Ā, kai katoa ana rātou, ā, ka mākona; ā, kotahi tekau mā rua ngā kete i kohia ake e rātou, kī tonu i ngā whatiwhatinga i toe. 21 Ko te hunga i kai rā me te mea e rima mano ngā tāne, hāunga ngā wāhine me ngā tamariki.

Ka Hikoi a Īhu i runga i te Wai

22 Nā, akiaki tonu a Īhu i āna ākonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tāwāhi, i a ia e tuku ana i ngā mano kia haere. 23 Ā, ka oti te mano te tuku, ka kake ia ki runga ki te maunga ki te wāhi motu kē ki te īnoi; nā, kua ahiahi, ā, ko ia anake i reira. 24 Nā, tērā te kaipuke te ākina rā e te ngaru i waenga moana; i hē hoki te i hau.

25 Ā, i te whā o ngā mataaratanga o te pō ka haere a Īhu ki a rātou, i haere māori i runga i te moana. 26 Ā, i te kitenga o ngā ākonga i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka ihiihi, ka mea, "He wairua!" Ka auē i te wehi.

27 Nā, kua hohoro te kōrero a Īhu ki a rātou, te mea, "Kia manawanui, ko ahau tēnei; aua e wehi."

28 Nā, ka whakahoki a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Ariki, ki te mea ko koe tēnā, kīia mai ahau kia haere atu ki a koe i runga i te wai."

29 Nā, ka mea ia, "Haere mai."

Ā, ka marere atu a Pita i te kaipuke, ka haere i runga i te wai, kia tae ai ki a Īhu. 30 Otirā, ka kite ia i te hau e kaha ana, ka wehi; ā, ka tīmata te totohu, ka karanga ake, ka mea, "Ahau, e te Ariki, whakaorangia."

31 Hohoro tonu te totoro o te ringa o Īhu, ka hopu i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, "E te tangata whakapono iti, he aha koe i ngākau rua ai?"

32 Anō ka eke rāua ki te kaipuke, mutu pū te hau. 33 Nā, ka haere mai te hunga i runga i te kaipuke, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, "He pono ko te Tama koe a te Atua!"

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu te Hunga Tūroro i Kenehareta

34 Ā, i tō rātou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta. 35 Ā, ka mōhio ngā tāngata o taua wāhi ki a ia, ka tono tāngata puta noa i ngā wāhi tūtata katoa o reira, hei kawe mai i ngā tūroro katoa ki a ia. 36 Ka īnoi ki a ia kia pā kau rātou ki te tāniko o tōna kākahu; ā, ora ake ngā tāngata katoa i pā.
