¹At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

¹Pe kodia vriama o Herod o tetrarch, ashundias e viasta pa O Jesus.

²and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: *he* is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.

²Ai phenel peske slugenge, "Kado si o Iovano o baptisto, zhuvindisailo pai martia, anda kodia si les e putiera te kerel mirakluria."

³For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.

³O Herod astardias le Iovanos, phanglia les lantsonsa ai thodia les ande temnitsa, palai Herodias, e rhomni leske phraleski o Philip.

⁴For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

⁴Ke o Iovano phenelas leske, "Nai tuke slobodo te les la!"

⁵And [while] desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.

⁵Wo mangelas te mudarel le Iovanos, numa daralas katar o narodo, ke sa o narodo jinenas les profeto.

⁶But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;

⁶Po dies kai arakhadilo, dine pachiv le Herodos, e shei la Herodiaki kheldias lenge, ai de sa zurales plachalias le Herodos.

⁷whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

⁷Anda kudia solaxadias, te del la so godi mangel.

⁸But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

⁸Pala laka dako sikaimos phendias, An mange pek charo o shero le Iovanosko o baptisto.'

⁹And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with [him], he commanded [it] to be given.

⁹O amperato nekezhisailo, numa ke solaxadias angla o narodo phendias te den la so mangel.

¹⁰And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;

¹⁰Tradia te shinen o shero le Iovanosko ande temnitsa.

¹¹and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried [it] to her mother.

¹¹Andine lesko shero pek charo, dine les kai shei, ai woi angerdia les ka peski dei.

¹²And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.

¹²Leske disipluria avile, line lesko stato, groposarde les; ai gele ka Jesus ta phende leske so kerdiliape.

¹³And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard [of it] followed him on foot from the cities.

¹³Kana O Jesus ashundias so kerdiliape, gelotar pek chuno korkorho kai nas khonik, o narodo andal foruria ashunde kodia, ai linepe pala leste telal.

¹⁴And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.

¹⁴Kana O Jesus avilo palpale, dikhlias baro narodo, pelias leske mila anda lende, ai sastiardias lenge naswalen.

¹⁵But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and [much of] the [day] time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

¹⁵Kana e riat perelas le disipluria avile leste ai phende," Vuzhe pozno ai nai khanchi katse. Trade le narodos te zhantar, te zhan andel foruria te chinen peske te xan."

¹⁶But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give *ye* them to eat.

¹⁶Numa O Jesus phendias lenge, 'Chi trobul te zhantar, den le tume te xan!"

¹⁷But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.

¹⁷Won phende leske, "Ferdi panzh manrhe ai dui mashe si ame."

¹⁸And he said, Bring them here to me.

¹⁸"Anen le mande," phendias O Jesus.

¹⁹And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the crowds.

¹⁹O Jesus phendias le narodoske te beshen tele pe char; lias le panzh manrhe ai le dui mashe, vazdia le iakha karing o rhaio, ai naisisardias ai phaglias le manrhe, dias le kal disipluria, ai le disipluria dine le ka narodo.

²⁰And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.

²⁰Savorhe xale ai chailile. Kana le disipluria chide le kotora kai ashshile desh u dui kozhnitsi pherde sas.

²¹But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

²¹Kodola kai xale sas panzh mi mursh, ai vi zhuvlia ai glate sas.

²²And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.

²²Strazo O Jesus kerdias te anklen le disipluria ando pamphuri te zhan mai anglal lestar pe kaver rig le paieske, zhi pon wo tradias le narodos te zhantar.

²³And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,

²³Kana tradias le narodos te zhantar, gelo opre ande plai korkorho te rhujilpe. Kana peli e riat, kote sas korkorho.

²⁴but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁴O pamphuri sas mashkaral e maria, ai buntuime sas katar le talazuria ke e barval phurdelas zurales.

²⁵But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.

²⁵Mashkar le trin ai le shov chasuria diminiatsako O Jesus avilo karing lende, phirelas po pai.

²⁶And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

²⁶Kana le disipluria dikhle les ke phirel po pai, daraile. Ai tsipinas, "Choxano si!"

²⁷But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid.

²⁷Numa strazo O Jesus phendias lenge, "Aven veselo, ke me sim, Na daran!"

²⁸And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters.

²⁸O Petri dias mui, "Gazda, te san tu, akhar ma te avav tute po pai."

²⁹And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.

²⁹"Aidi," phendias. Antunchi o Petri anklisto anda pamphuri ai phirdias po pai karing O Jesus.

³⁰But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.

³⁰Numa kana thodias sama ke e barval phurdel zurales, darailo, antunchi tasolas ai tsipisardias, "Gazda, skepisar ma!"

³¹And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

³¹Strazo O Jesus anzardias pesko vas, astardia les ai phendia leske, "Tu kai si tu xantsi pachamos! Sostar chi pachaian?"

³²And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.

³²Kana ankliste ando pamphuri, e barval aterdili.

³³But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.

³³Ai kodola kai sas ando pamphuri luvudisarde ai preznaisarde les phenenas, "Chaches tu san O Shav le Devlesko!"

³⁴And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.

³⁴Kana aresle inchal ando them sas kai bushol Gennesaret.

³⁵And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,

³⁵Kana le manush kotsar prinzharde les, trade divano ande sa o them ai le manush andine sa penge naswalen leste.

³⁶and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.

³⁶Rhugisaile leste te mekel le naswalen, ferdi te azban e tivala leske raxamaki, ai kon godi azbadias leski raxami sastile.
