¹Tol ajal sai nelivürst Heroodes kuulda, mida Jeesusest räägiti.

¹At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

²Ja ta ütles oma meestele: 'See on Ristija Johannes! Tema on üles äratatud surnuist ja seepärast toimivad imeväed tema kaudu.'

²and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”

³Heroodes oli ju Johannese kinni võtnud, aheldanud ja pannud vanglasse Heroodiase, oma venna Filippuse naise pärast,

³For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

⁴sest Johannes oli talle öelnud: 'Sa ei tohi teda pidada!'

⁴For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

⁵Ja Heroodes oleks tahtnud Johannese tappa, kuid kartis rahvast, sest Johannest peeti prohvetiks.

⁵When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

⁶Aga kui tuli Heroodese sünnipäev, tantsis Heroodiase tütar nende keskel ja meeldis Heroodesele,

⁶But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

⁷nõnda et ta vandega tõotas talle anda, mida ta iganes soovib.

⁷Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

⁸Tema aga lausus oma ema õhutusel: 'Anna mulle vaagnal Ristija Johannese pea!'

⁸She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”

⁹Kuningas kurvastas, kuid vande ja piduliste pärast käskis talle selle anda.

⁹The 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,

¹⁰Ja ta saatis vanglasse mehed Johannesel pead otsast lööma.

¹⁰and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

¹¹Ja Johannese pea toodi vaagnal ja anti tüdrukule ning too viis selle oma emale.

¹¹His head was brought on a platter, and given to the young lady: and she brought it to her mother.

¹²Ja Johannese jüngrid tulid, viisid ta surnukeha ära ja matsid maha ning tulid ja teatasid sellest Jeesusele.

¹²His disciples came, and took the body, and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

¹³Kui Jeesus sai sellest kuulda, eemaldus ta sealt paadiga tühja paika, et olla omaette. Ja kui rahvahulgad sellest kuulsid, järgnesid nad talle jalgsi linnadest.

¹³Now 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.

¹⁴Ja kui Jeesus astus paadist välja ja nägi suurt rahvahulka, läks ta meel haledaks ning ta tervendas nende haiged.

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

¹⁵Õhtu jõudes aga astusid Jeesuse jüngrid ta juurde ja ütlesid: 'Paik on üksildane ja aeg juba hiline, lase nüüd rahvahulgad ära minna, et nad läheksid küladesse endale süüa otsima!'

¹⁵When 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.”

¹⁶Aga Jeesus ütles neile: 'Neil ei ole tarvis ära minna. Andke teie neile süüa!'

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

¹⁷Nemad aga ütlesid talle: 'Meil ei ole siin rohkem kui vaid viis leiba ja kaks kala.'

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

¹⁸Aga tema ütles: 'Tooge need mulle siia!'

¹⁸He said, “Bring them here to me.”

¹⁹Ja Jeesus käskis rahvahulkadel istuda rohule, võttis need viis leiba ja kaks kala, vaatas üles taevasse, õnnistas ja murdis ning andis leivad jüngrite kätte, jüngrid aga andsid need rahvale.

¹⁹He 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.

²⁰Ja kõik sõid ja said kõhud täis. Ja ülejäänud palakesi korjati kaksteist korvitäit.

²⁰They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

²¹Aga sööjaid oli ligi viis tuhat meest, peale selle veel naised ja lapsed.

²¹Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

²²Ja Jeesus käskis sedamaid oma jüngreid paati astuda ja sõita vastaskaldale tema eele, sellal kui ta laseb rahvahulkadel minna.

²²Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

²³Kui ta siis rahvahulgad oli minema lasknud, läks ta üles mäele üksinda palvetama. Ja õhtu jõudes oli ta seal üksinda.

²³After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

²⁴Aga paat oli juba hulga maad kaldast eemaldunud, heitlemas lainetega, sest tuul oli vastu.

²⁴But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁵Ent neljandal öövahikorral tuli Jeesus nende juurde järve peal kõndides.

²⁵In the fourth watch of the night, 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. see Job 9:8

²⁶Aga Jeesust järve peal kõndimas nähes ütlesid jüngrid kohkunult: 'See on tont!' ja hakkasid hirmu pärast kisendama.

²⁶When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.

²⁷Aga Jeesus kõnetas neid sedamaid: 'Olge julged, see olen mina, ärge kartke!'

²⁷But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying “Cheer up! It is I! or, I AM! Don’t be afraid.”

²⁸Peetrus vastas: 'Issand, kui see oled sina, siis käsi mind tulla enda juurde vee peale!'

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

²⁹Tema ütles: 'Tule!' Ja Peetrus astus paadist välja ning kõndis vee peal ja tuli Jeesuse juurde.

²⁹He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

³⁰Aga tuult nähes lõi ta kartma ja hüüdis uppuma hakates: 'Issand, päästa mind!'

³⁰But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

³¹Jeesus sirutas kohe oma käe, haaras temast kinni ning ütles talle: 'Sa nõdrausuline, miks sa kahtlesid?'

³¹Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

³²Ja kui nad astusid paati, rauges tuul.

³²When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

³³Paadisolijad aga kummardasid teda ja ütlesid: 'Tõesti, sina oled Jumala Poeg!'

³³Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

³⁴Ja kui nad olid sõitnud üle järve, siis nad tulid maale Genneesaretis.

³⁴When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

³⁵Ja kui selle koha mehed Jeesuse ära tundsid, läkitasid nad sõna kogu ümbruskonda ja tema juurde toodi kõik haiged

³⁵When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,

³⁶ja need palusid teda, et nad saaksid üksnes puudutada tema kuue palistust, ja kes iganes teda puudutas, sai terveks.

³⁶and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe or, tassel of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
