Matthai 16
1 Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducees rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Vaan lamkah miknoek te amih tueng ham a dawt uh tih a loepdak uh.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Hlaem a pha vaengah vaan ke khopang a ling dongah Khothen ni na ti uh.
But he answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
3 Vaan ke Mincang ah hmuep tih a ling dongah, Tihnin ah khonal ni na ti uh. Vaan kah a hmuethma ngawn tah boelhkhoeh ham na ming uh dae a tuetang kah miknoek tah na ming uh thai moenih.
In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times!
4 Boethae neh samphaih cadil loh miknoek a kuek, tedae Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek m'pae mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih te a hnoo tih vik cet.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” He left them and departed.
5 Tedae rhalvangan la a caeh uh vaengah hnukbang rhoek loh buh khuen ham a hnilh uh.
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah tolrhu ke hmat uh lamtah ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 Tedae amih tah amamih khuiah thui uh thae tih, “Buh n'khuen uh pawt tih,” a ti uh.
They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
8 Tedae Jesuh loh a ming vaengah, “Uepvawt rhoek aw, balae tih buh na khueh uh pawt te namamih khuiah na thuingong uh?
Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have brought no bread?
9 Na yakming uh hlan a? Vaidam panga te thawngnga cung tih voh dongah muep na phueih te na poek uh moenih a?
Do not you yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up,
10 Vaidam parhih te thawngli loh cung uh tih voh dongah muep na khuen uh moenih a?
or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Balae tih na yakming uh pawh, Nangmih taengah buh kawng te ka thui moenih. Tedae Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah tolrhu mah ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 Vaidam khuikah tolrhu ngaithuen ham a thui moenih, Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah thuituennah ni tila a hmuhming uh.
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 tah Kaisarea Philipi pingpang la a pawk vaengah a hnukbang rhoek te a dawt tih, “Hlang rhoek loh Hlang Capa he ulae a ti uh?” a ti nah.
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 Te vaengah amih loh, “A ngen loh tuinuem Johan, pakhat loh Elijah, a tloe rhoek loh Jeremiah neh tonghma khat khat a ti uh,” a ti na uh.
They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 Amih te khaw, “Tedae nangmih loh, kai he ulae na ti uh?” a ti nah.
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter loh a doo tih, “Nang tah aka hing Pathen Capa Khrih ni,” a ti nah.
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih “Simon Barjonah tah, yoethen la na om coeng. Pumsa neh thii nen pawt tih vaan kah a Pa loh nang taengah a phoe coeng.
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 Te dongah kai loh nang te, “Nang tah Peter ni. Te dongah hekah lungpang soah hlangboel te ka thoh vetih saelkhui vongka loh noeng mahpawh. (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades (Hadēs g86) will not prevail against it.
19 Vaan ram kah cabi te nang taengah kan paek ni. Te dongah diklai ah na pin te tah vaan ah pin la om ni. Tedae diklai ah na hlam te tah vaan ah hlam la om ni,’ ka ti,” a ti nah.
I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”
20 Te phoeiah, 'Jesuh tah Khrih ni,’ tila thui pawt ham hnukbang te ol a paek.
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 Te vaeng lamloh Jesuh tah Jerusalem la cet tih a ham rhoek, khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek kah nganboh muep yook ham neh, a ngawn phoeikah hnin thum ah a thoh ham a kuek te a hnukbang rhoek taengah koe a thuicaih.
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 Te vaengah Peter loh a sim doela koe a mawt tih, “Boeipa nang te poekpoei rhola a ti mai mako, he tah nang taengah om loengloeng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
23 Tedae Peter te a mael thil tih, “Satan, kai hnukla nong, kai ham thangkui la na om. Na poek te Pathen kah hno pawt tih hlang kah hno ni,” a ti nah.
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 men.”
24 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek te, “Khat khat long ni ka hnukah lo ham a ngaih atah, amah te huek uh saeh lamtah a thinglam a koh doeah kai m'vai saeh.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
25 A hinglu te khang ham aka ngaih tah poci ni. Tedae kai kongah a hinglu aka hlong tah te te a dang ni.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 Hlang loh Diklai he boeih a pang dae a hinglu a hlong atah balae a hoeikhang eh? Hlang loh amah kah hinglu ham balae tlansum la a phai eh?
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27 Te dongah Hlang Capa loh a napa kah thangpomnah neh, amah kah puencawn rhoek ham pawk puei vaengah hlang te a khoboe bangla rhip a thuung van ni.
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 Te phoeiah amih te “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui hekah aka pai khuiah hlangvang om. Amih loh thaomnah neh aka pai Pathen ram te a ming uh hlan atah dueknah he ten uh mueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Most certainly 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.”
