Mateyu 16
1 Afarisi ndi Asaduki anabwera kwa Yesu ndi kumuyesa pomufunsa kuti awaonetse chizindikiro chochokera kumwamba.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees who came, testing, demanded him to exhibit to them a sign from the sky.
2 Iye anayankha kuti, “Kunja kukamada, inu mumati, kudzakhala nyengo yabwino popeza thambo ndi lofiira.
But having answered, he said to them, When it becomes evening, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky is red.
3 Ndipo mmawa mumati, ‘Lero kudzakhala mvula yamphepo popeza thambo ndi lofiira ndi mitambo ya mvula.’ Inu mumadziwa kutanthauzira maonekedwe a thambo koma simungathe kutanthauzira zizindikiro za nthawi.
And at morning, Bad weather today, for the sky is red, being gloomy. Hypocrites! Ye indeed know how to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times ye are not able.
4 Mʼbado woyipa ndi wachigololo umafuna chizindikiro chodabwitsa koma palibe ngakhale chimodzi chidzapatsidwa kupatula chizindikiro cha Yona.” Pamenepo Yesu anawasiya nachoka.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. And having left them behind, he departed.
5 Koma atawoloka nyanja, ophunzira anayiwala kutenga buledi.
And his disciples having come to the other side, they forgot to take loaves.
6 Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Chenjerani, khalani tcheru ndi yisiti wa Afarisi ndi Asaduki.”
And Jesus said to them, Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 Iwo anakambirana pakati pawo za izi ndipo anati, “Ichi nʼchifukwa chakuti sitinatenge buledi aliyense.”
And they deliberated among themselves, saying, We took no loaves.
8 Yesu atadziwa zokambirana zawo, anawafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mukukambirana zakuti, ‘mulibe buledi?’ Inu achikhulupiriro chochepa.
And having known it, Jesus said to them, O ye of little faith, why do ye deliberate among yourselves because ye brought no loaves?
9 Kodi inu simukumvetsetsabe? Kodi simukukumbukira za buledi musanu amene anadya anthu 5,000 ndi madengu amene munadzaza?
Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up,
10 Kapena buledi musanu ndi muwiri amene anadya anthu 4,000, nanga ndi madengu angati amene munadzaza?
nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many hampers ye took up?
11 Zitheka bwanji kuti inu simukumvetsetsa kuti Ine sindinkayankhula nanu za buledi? Koma inu chenjerani ndi yisiti wa Afarisi ndi Asaduki.”
How do ye not understand that I spoke to you not about bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
12 Kenaka iwo anazindikira kuti Iye samawawuza kuti achenjere ndi yisiti wa buledi koma ndi chiphunzitso cha Afarisi ndi Asaduki.
Then they understood that he said not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Yesu atafika ku chigawo cha Kaisareya Filipo, Iye anafunsa ophunzira ake kuti, “Kodi anthu amati Mwana wa Munthu ndi ndani?”
Now when Jesus came into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say I, the Son of man, am?
14 Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ena amati ndi Yohane Mʼbatizi; ena amati ndi Eliya; komanso ena amati Yeremiya kapena mmodzi wa aneneri.”
And they said, Some, John the immerser, others, Elijah, but others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Iye anafunsa kuti, “Nanga inuyo mumati ndine yani?”
He says to them, But who say ye, I am?
16 Simoni Petro anayankha kuti, “Inu ndinu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu wamoyo.”
And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Yesu anati kwa iye, “Ndiwe wodala Simoni mwana wa Yona, popeza si munthu amene anakuwululira izi koma Atate anga akumwamba.
And having answered, Jesus said to him, Blessed are thou, Simon Bar-jonah, because flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father in the heavens.
18 Ndipo Ine ndikuwuza iwe kuti ndiwe Petro ndipo pa thanthwe ili Ine ndidzamangapo mpingo wanga ndipo makomo a ku gehena sadzawugonjetsa. (Hadēs g86)
And I also say to thee, that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Ine ndidzakupatsa makiyi a Ufumu wakumwamba, ndipo chilichonse chimene iwe udzachimanga pansi pano chidzamangidwanso kumwamba.”
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou may bind on earth will be what is bound in the heavens, and whatever thou may loose on the earth will be what is loosed in the heavens.
20 Pamenepo Iye anachenjeza ophunzira ake kuti asawuze wina aliyense kuti ndi Khristu.
Then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no man that he is Jesus, the Christ.
21 Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo Yesu anayamba kuwafotokozera ophunzira ake kuti Iye ayenera kupita ku Yerusalemu ndi kukazunzidwa kwambiri mʼmanja mwa akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo kuti ayenera kuphedwa, ndi kuti tsiku lachitatu adzaukitsidwa.
From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scholars, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Petro anamutengera Iye pambali nayamba kumudzudzula kuti, “Dzichitireni chifundo Ambuye, sizingachitike kwa Inu ayi.”
And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, Be merciful to thee, Lord. This will, no, not be to thee.
23 Yesu anatembenuka nati kwa Petro, “Choka pamaso panga Satana! Iwe ndi chokhumudwitsa kwa Ine; iwe suganizira zinthu za Mulungu koma zinthu za anthu.”
But having turned around, he said to Peter, Go thee behind me, Satan. Thou are my stumbling-block, because thou regard not the things of God, but the things of men.
24 Pamenepo Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Ngati wina aliyense abwera pambuyo panga ayenera kudzikana ndi kutenga mtanda wake ndi kunditsata Ine.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Pakuti aliyense amene afuna kupulumutsa moyo wake adzawutaya koma aliyense amene ataya moyo wake chifukwa cha Ine adzawupeza.
For whoever wants save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 Kodi munthu adzapindula chiyani ngati atapeza zonse za dziko lapansi nataya moyo wake? Kapena munthu angapereke chiyani chosinthana ndi moyo wake?
For what does it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 Pakuti Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera mu ulemerero wa Atate ake ndi angelo ake ndipo pamenepo Iye adzapereka mphotho kwa munthu mofanana ndi zimene anachita.
For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his agents, and then he will reward each man according to his actions.
28 “Ine ndikuwuzani inu choonadi, ena amene akuyimirira pano sadzalawa imfa asanaone Mwana wa Munthu akudza mu ufumu.”
Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
