Matthew 16
1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.
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.
2 But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’
Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Hlaem a pha vaengah vaan ke khopang a ling dongah Khothen ni na ti uh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
5 When they crossed to the other side, the disciples forgot to take bread.
Tedae rhalvangan la a caeh uh vaengah hnukbang rhoek loh buh khuen ham a hnilh uh.
6 “Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah tolrhu ke hmat uh lamtah ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
7 They discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”
Tedae amih tah amamih khuiah thui uh thae tih, “Buh n'khuen uh pawt tih,” a ti uh.
8 Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?
Tedae Jesuh loh a ming vaengah, “Uepvawt rhoek aw, balae tih buh na khueh uh pawt te namamih khuiah na thuingong uh?
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Na yakming uh hlan a? Vaidam panga te thawngnga cung tih voh dongah muep na phueih te na poek uh moenih a?
10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Vaidam parhih te thawngli loh cung uh tih voh dongah muep na khuen uh moenih a?
11 How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
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.
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.
Vaidam khuikah tolrhu ngaithuen ham a thui moenih, Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah thuituennah ni tila a hmuhming uh.
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
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.
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
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.
15 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Amih te khaw, “Tedae nangmih loh, kai he ulae na ti uh?” a ti nah.
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Simon Peter loh a doo tih, “Nang tah aka hing Pathen Capa Khrih ni,” a ti nah.
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.
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.
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)
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)
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.”
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.
20 Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
Te phoeiah, 'Jesuh tah Khrih ni,’ tila thui pawt ham hnukbang te ol a paek.
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.
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.
22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
A hinglu te khang ham aka ngaih tah poci ni. Tedae kai kongah a hinglu aka hlong tah te te a dang ni.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.”
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.
