Matthew 16
1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.
Ba Farisawa ni Sadukiyawa baye tsra wu nda ni mye u ndu tsro ba ingban ri rji ni shu.
2 But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’
A saa ni bawu nda tre, “To yalu tie, bi tre, ani kpan megyen, ishua a hre me.
3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.
To ahi mble, bi tre, luwa na kli megyen na, shulua klo kpalu kle gbua. Bi to hla kpan u shulu ndi na to hla ingban u ba nton na.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away.
Ahi nza bi meme ni bi tie ntra mba ba wa ngban, e bana tsroyi ingban ri nkan na hama ingban u Yunana” Nikiyi Yesu a wlu hi kpama don ba.
5 When they crossed to the other side, the disciples forgot to take bread.
Mrli koh ma ba ru nne hi kosan korima nda tie rlisu ni nji bredi.
6 “Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Yesu a hla bawu, “Tie sesren me ndi mla ya Yisti u Farisawa ni Sadukiyawa ba”
7 They discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”
U mrli koh ma baka tre ni kpamba, Ahe wa kie na nji bredi a na.
8 Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?
Yesu a to nakima nda tre, Biyi bi tsitsa nkponji biki tre ngye ni kpambi ndi bi na nji bredi na?
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Bi rlihe to ka taka nitu ngble bredi ton wa indi dubu ton ba tana, u sisen bren bika vu shua na?
10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Ka igble bredi tangban ni ndi dubu nzia, i sisen bren bi vu shu na?
11 How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Ani he rli u bi honto ndi mina si tre ni tu bredi na? “Tie sesren ndi mla ya yisti u Farisawa ni Sadukiyawa.
12 Then they understood that He was not telling them to beware of the leaven used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Nikimayi baka to nda nasi hla ni bawu ndu na tie sesren ni yisti u mi bredi na, ahi ndu ba tie sesren ni tsro u Farisawa ni Sadukiyawa ba.
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
Ni nton wa Yesu aye ni ko nklan u Kaisariya Filip, a mye mrli ko ma nda tre, “Indi ba hla ndi Ivren Indi hi nha?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Ba tre, Bari ba hla Yohana u tie batisma, bari Iliya u bari, Rimiya, ka iri ni mi anabawa.
15 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
A hla bawu, “U biyi bi tre me nha?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
U sima Bitru a saa niwu nda hla, “Iwu yi u Kristi, Ivren Rji u sisren a”
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.
Yesu a saa nda hla niwu, “Ba tie lulu niwu, Sima ivren Yunana, don ana rima mba yi ba nghran wayi niwa na ayi itie mu wa ahe ni shulu a.
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Mila ni hla niwu ndi iwuyi u Bitru, ni tu tita yi mi me iklisiya mu. Ba nkon tra u Hades bana kpawu ka na. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Mi nno wu ba hra u bwu mulki shulu. Ko ahi ngyeri wa wu lo ni ngbungblu a, ba lowu ni shulu, u ko gyeri wawu si ni ngbungblu a, ahe ni si ni shulu”
20 Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
Nikiyi Yesu a mha mrli koh ma ba ndi ndu bana hla ni ndiori ndi ahi Kristina.
21 From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
Rji ni nton kima Yesu azi hla ni mrli koh ma ba ndi ahi gbigbi ndu wawu hi ni Urushalima nda hi tie ya ni tu ikpi gbugbu wu ni wo bi cice, ni Firist bi ninkon ni ba mala u atawura, u ba wuu, ka tash'me ni vi utra.
22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”
U Bitru ka nji wu hi ni kosan nda pua wu tre nda tre, “Ndu kpiyi na tie whiewhiereni wu na, Baci, ikpye yi na tiewu na”.
23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
U Yesu a kima nda hla ni Bitru, K'ma hi ko gon mu, shetan! U nkon u k'bu za nimu don una yo sron ni kpi bi wu Rji na se kpi bi u ndi”
24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
Ni kiyi Yesu a hlani mrli koh ma ba, “Du' wa ani son hu mea, ahi gbigbi ndu kama ni tuma, nda bhan nghran kunkron ma, nda hu me.
25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
E i wa ani wa' kpa tuma j'bu a, ani wau hama, u i wa a nno tuma ni nyu mu a afe wu.
26 What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ahi ngye u zizi ma ndu ndi fe ngbungblua wawuu nda khwu? Ani ngye ri indi ni kawu sran nituma?
27 For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
Ivren ndi niye nimi gbarji kpan u tiema ni Maleku ma. Ni nton kima, ani nno ko nha dii ma u ndu wa a tie a.
28 Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Njanyimu mi hla yiwu, bari mbi wa bi krli niwa bana la khwu tona se ba to Ivren ndi ye ni mi mulki ma”
