Mahte 16
1 Pharise avang ja Sadukee law u lü Jesuh ami mhnütnak vaia Pamhnam naw ning ksingki ti a ngsingnak vaia, müncankse jah mhnuha” ti lü täkie.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Khaw kyak law hlü üng, ‘Khankhaw mliki khawngawi ta khaw sen hlü ve’ nami ti khawiki.”
But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
3 Ngawilama, “Khaw ngmei lü anghmüp law üng, tuhngawi ta khaw ah hlü ve,” nami ti khawiki. Khawa sen vai ja a ak vai cun khankhaw teng lü nami ksing kyawkie. Cunüngpi akcünmka üng sängeikia müncanksee ta am ksing khawh uki.
In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 “Tuh kän khyang he ihlawka se lü mtuihmlehkie ni. Nangmi naw müncankse nami täkie aw? Jonaha müncanksea thea i käh ning jah mhnuh vai” ti lü a jah ceh tak.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.
5 Acunüng, axüisaw he tuilia cayea ami law üng, muk law vai ami mhnih.
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Jesuh naw, “Pharise he ja Sadukeea nghngen nami jah cäieinak vai,” a ti.
Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 Animäte naw ngai u lü, “Ahin hin muk am mi lawpüia phäha kya ngaiki,” ami ti.
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8 Jesuh naw ami pyen ksing lü, “Jumeinak ngcekia khyang he aw, i nami sumkyamkie ni. Ise muk am nami taka phäh vaia nami ngaikie ni?
But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
9 Muk mhma pacawng thawng mhmaa phäh ka bo cen am nami sümkie aw? Cä ikän ja nami msap law? Am nami ksing hamkie aw?
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Muk khyüh khyang thawng kphyü naw ei u se, cä ikän hläiki ti am nami sümkie aw?
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 “Eia mawng ka ning jah mthehki am ni, ise am nami ksing u ni? Pharise he ja Sadukeea ngneikse nami cäieinak vaia ka ning jah mthehki ni,” a ti.
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12 Acunüng muk üng ami kcaw nghngen a pyen am ni, Pharise he ja Sadukeea jah mtheimthangnak ami cäieinak vaia a jah mtheh tia ami ksing.
Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Jesuh Kesari Philipih mlüh pei cit lü acuia axüisaw he üng, “Khyang he naw Khyanga Capa hin u ami pyen ni,” ti lü a jah kthäh.
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
14 “Amsah naw Baptican Johan, amsah naw Elijah, amsah naw Jeramih, am ani üng sahma mat mat va ni khai ti ve u,” ami ti.
They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 Jesuh naw, “Nangmi naw mä ua jah nami na ngaih?” a ti.
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Sihmon Pita naw, “Nang cun Khritaw, xüngseiki Pamhnama Capa ni,” a ti.
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 Jesuh naw msang lü“Johana ca Sihmon, na jo daw ve. Isetiüng ta, ahin hin khyanga ning mtheh am ni, khana ka Pa naw a ning mtheh ni.”
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Ka ning mthehki, Pita aw nang lung ni, ahina lunga khana ka sangcim ka mdüih khai, thihnak naw pi käh näng khai ni. (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Khankhaw Pe tawhe ka ning pe khai, aipi khawmdek khana am na mhlät naküt cun khankhawa pi mhläta am kya, ai naküt pi khawmdek khana na mhlät cun khankhawa pi mhläta kya khai,” a ti.
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
20 Acunüng axüisaw he üng Khritaw a ninak u üng pi käh ami mtheh vaia a jah mtheh.
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
21 Acunüng tünei lü Jesuh naw “Jerusalema ka cit khai, axüe, ktaiyü he ja thumksingea mkhuimkhanak ka khamei khai. Na hnim khaie, cunüngpi amhnüp kthum üng ka tho be khai” ti lü axüisaw he üng a jah mtheh.
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Pita naw akcea khü lü, “Bawipa aw, acukba käh kya khai, na khana acukba käh thawn yah khai,” ti lü Jesuh a pyen.
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
23 Jesuh naw nghlat law lü Pita üng, “Khawyam aw, ka peia käh vea, nang hin ka kyukngtängnak vaia na kyaki ni. Isetiakyaküng, na ngaihnak hin Mhnam üngka naw lawki am ni, khyang üngka naw lawki ni,” a ti.
But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."
24 Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Nangmi üngka mat naw ka hnu läk khaia a bü üng a hlükaw naküt hawih lü, amäta kutlamktung kawt lü na läk law se.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Na sak küinak khaia na bü üng sak am yahki, cunüngpi keia phäha na sak tawn khaia na bü üng ta angsäi xünnak na yah khai,” a ti.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 Khyang naw khawmdeknu avan ka na lü, a ngmüimkhya xünnak am a yah üng i am ni a thawnei be thei kawm?
For what will it profit a person, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
27 Khyanga Capa, a pa hlüngtainak ja a khankhawngsä he am law be hnühki, khyang naküt cun khut a pawha kba jah kheng khai.
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
28 Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, “Ahin üng awmki he avang naw am thih ham u lü, Khyanga Capa Sangpuxanga kba law be se hmuh khaie,” a ti.
Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
