Matthew 14

那时，分封的王希律听见耶稣的名声，

nà shí ， fēn fēng de wáng xī lǜ tīng jiàn yē sū de míng shēng ，

At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

就对臣仆说：「这是施洗的约翰从死里复活，所以这些异能从他里面发出来。」

jiù duì chén pú shuō ：「 zhè shì shī xǐ de yuē hàn cóng sǐ lǐ fù huó ， suǒ yǐ zhè xiē yì néng cóng tā lǐ miàn fā chū lái 。」

and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”

起先，希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故，把约翰拿住，锁在监里。

qǐ xiān ， xī lǜ wèi tā xiōng dì féi lì de qī zǐ xī luó dǐ de yuán gù ， bǎ yuē hàn ná zhù ， suǒ zài jiān lǐ 。

For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

因为约翰曾对他说：「你娶这妇人是不合理的。」

yīn wèi yuē hàn céng duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ qǔ zhè fù rén shì bù hé lǐ de 。」

For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

希律就想要杀他，只是怕百姓，因为他们以约翰为先知。

xī lǜ jiù xiǎng yào shā tā ， zhǐ shì pà bǎi xìng ， yīn wèi tā men yǐ yuē hàn wèi xiān zhī 。

When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

到了希律的生日，希罗底的女儿在众人面前跳舞，使希律欢喜。

dào le xī lǜ de shēng rì ， xī luó dǐ de nǚ ér zài zhòng rén miàn qián tiào wǔ ， shǐ xī lǜ huān xǐ 。

But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

希律就起誓，应许随她所求的给她。

xī lǜ jiù qǐ shì ， yīng xǔ suí tā suǒ qiú de gěi tā 。

Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

女儿被母亲所使，就说：「请把施洗约翰的头放在盘子里，拿来给我。」

nǚ ér bèi mǔ qīn suǒ shǐ ， jiù shuō ：「 qǐng bǎ shī xǐ yuē hàn de tóu fàng zài pán zi lǐ ， ná lái gěi wǒ 。」

She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”

王便忧愁，但因他所起的誓，又因同席的人，就吩咐给她；

wáng biàn yōu chóu ， dàn yīn tā suǒ qǐ de shì ， yòu yīn tóng xí de rén ， jiù fēn fù gěi tā ；

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,

于是打发人去，在监里斩了约翰，

yú shì dǎ fā rén qù ， zài jiān lǐ zhǎn le yuē hàn ，

and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

把头放在盘子里，拿来给了女子；女子拿去给她母亲。

bǎ tóu fàng zài pán zi lǐ ， ná lái gěi le nǚ zǐ ； nǚ zǐ ná qù gěi tā mǔ qīn 。

His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.

约翰的门徒来，把尸首领去埋葬了，就去告诉耶稣。

yuē hàn de mén tú lái ， bǎ shī shǒu lǐng qù mái zàng le ， jiù qù gào sù yē sū 。

His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

耶稣听见了，就上船从那里独自退到野地里去。众人听见，就从各城里步行跟随他。

yē sū tīng jiàn le ， jiù shàng chuán cóng nà lǐ dú zì tuì dào yě dì lǐ qù 。 zhòng rén tīng jiàn ， jiù cóng gè chéng lǐ bù xíng gēn suí tā 。

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.

耶稣出来，见有许多的人，就怜悯他们，治好了他们的病人。

yē sū chū lái ， jiàn yǒu xǔ duō de rén ， jiù lián mǐn tā men ， zhì hǎo le tā men de bìng rén 。

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

天将晚的时候，门徒进前来，说：「这是野地，时候已经过了，请叫众人散开，他们好往村子里去，自己买吃的。」

tiān jiāng wǎn de shí hòu ， mén tú jìn qián lái ， shuō ：「 zhè shì yě dì ， shí hòu yǐ jīng guò le ， qǐng jiào zhòng rén sàn kāi ， tā men hǎo wǎng cūn zǐ lǐ qù ， zì jǐ mǎi chī de 。」

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.”

耶稣说：「不用他们去，你们给他们吃吧！」

yē sū shuō ：「 bú yòng tā men qù ， nǐ men gěi tā men chī ba ！」

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

门徒说：「我们这里只有五个饼，两条鱼。」

mén tú shuō ：「 wǒ men zhè lǐ zhǐ yǒu wǔ gè bǐng ， liǎng tiáo yú 。」

They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”

耶稣说：「拿过来给我。」

yē sū shuō ：「 ná guò lái gěi wǒ 。」

He said, “Bring them here to me.”

于是吩咐众人坐在草地上，就拿着这五个饼，两条鱼，望着天祝福，擘开饼，递给门徒，门徒又递给众人。

yú shì fēn fù zhòng rén zuò zài cǎo dì shàng ， jiù ná zhe zhè wǔ gè bǐng ， liǎng tiáo yú ， wàng zhe tiān zhù fú ， bò kāi bǐng ， dì gěi mén tú ， mén tú yòu dì gěi zhòng rén 。

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.

他们都吃，并且吃饱了，把剩下的零碎收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。

tā men dōu chī ， bìng qiě chī bǎo le ， bǎ shèng xià de líng suì shōu shí qǐ lái ， zhuāng mǎn le shí èr gè lán zi 。

They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

吃的人，除了妇女孩子，约有五千。

chī de rén ， chú le fù nǚ hái zi ， yuē yǒu wǔ qiān 。

Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

耶稣随即催门徒上船，先渡到那边去，等他叫众人散开。

yē sū suí jí cuī mén tú shàng chuán ， xiān dù dào nà biān qù ， děng tā jiào zhòng rén sàn kāi 。

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

散了众人以后，他就独自上山去祷告。到了晚上，只有他一人在那里。

sàn le zhòng rén yǐ hòu ， tā jiù dú zì shàng shān qù dǎo gào 。 dào le wǎn shàng ， zhǐ yǒu tā yì rén zài nà lǐ 。

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.

那时船在海中，因风不顺，被浪摇撼。

nà shí chuán zài hǎi zhōng ， yīn fēng bú shùn ， bèi làng yáo hàn 。

But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

夜里四更天，耶稣在海面上走，往门徒那里去。

yè lǐ sì gēng tiān ， yē sū zài hǎi miàn shàng zǒu ， wǎng mén tú nà lǐ qù 。

In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

门徒看见他在海面上走，就惊慌了，说：「是个鬼怪！」便害怕，喊叫起来。

mén tú kàn jiàn tā zài hǎi miàn shàng zǒu ， jiù jīng huāng le ， shuō ：「 shì gè guǐ guài ！」 biàn hài pà ， hǎn jiào qǐ lái 。

When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.

耶稣连忙对他们说：「你们放心，是我，不要怕！」

yē sū lián máng duì tā men shuō ：「 nǐ men fàng xīn ， shì wǒ ， bú yào pà ！」

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”

彼得说：「主，如果是你，请叫我从水面上走到你那里去。」

bǐ dé shuō ：「 zhǔ ， rú guǒ shì nǐ ， qǐng jiào wǒ cóng shuǐ miàn shàng zǒu dào nǐ nà lǐ qù 。」

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

耶稣说：「你来吧。」彼得就从船上下去，在水面上走，要到耶稣那里去；

yē sū shuō ：「 nǐ lái ba 。」 bǐ dé jiù cóng chuán shàng xià qù ， zài shuǐ miàn shàng zǒu ， yào dào yē sū nà lǐ qù ；

He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

只因见风甚大，就害怕，将要沉下去，便喊着说：「主啊，救我！」

zhī yīn jiàn fēng shèn dà ， jiù hài pà ， jiāng yào chén xià qù ， biàn hǎn zhe shuō ：「 zhǔ a ， jiù wǒ ！」

But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

耶稣赶紧伸手拉住他，说：「你这小信的人哪，为什么疑惑呢？」

yē sū gǎn jǐn shēn shǒu lā zhù tā ， shuō ：「 nǐ zhè xiǎo xìn de rén nǎ ， wèi shén me yí huò ne ？」

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

他们上了船，风就住了。

tā men shàng le chuán ， fēng jiù zhù le 。

When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

在船上的人都拜他，说：「你真是 神的儿子了。」

zài chuán shàng de rén dōu bài tā ， shuō ：「 nǐ zhēn shì shén de ér zi le 。」

Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

他们过了海，来到革尼撒勒地方。

tā men guò le hǎi ， lái dào gé ní sā lè dì fāng 。

When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

那里的人一认出是耶稣，就打发人到周围地方去，把所有的病人带到他那里，

nà lǐ de rén yí rèn chū shì yē sū ， jiù dǎ fā rén dào zhōu wéi dì fāng qù ， bǎ suǒ yǒu de bìng rén dài dào tā nà lǐ ，

When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;

只求耶稣准他们摸他的衣裳 子；摸着的人就都好了。

zhī qiú yē sū zhǔn tā men mō tā de yī shang zǐ ； mō zhe de rén jiù dōu hǎo le 。

and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
