Matthew 16
1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.
Mme ka letsatsi lengwe Bafarasai le Basadukai ba tla go leka Jesu mabapi le polelo ya gagwe ya gore ke Mesia ka go mo kopa go ba supegetsa ditshupo dingwe tse di tona mo magodimong.
2 But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’
A fetola a re, “Lo siame mo go baleng ditshupo tsa seemo sa mawapi; lo a tle lo re bohibidu jwa loapi maitseboeng bo raya seemo se sentle sa mawapi; lo a tle lo re bohibidu jwa loapi maitseboeng ano bo raya seemo se sentle sa loapi ka moso; lo bo lo re loapi lo lo hibidu mo mosong lo raya seemo se se bosula sa loapi motshegare otlhe, mme ga lo kgone go bala ditshupo tse di itlhalosang ka botsone tsa metlha!
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.
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.
Sechaba se se bosula se, se se sa dumeleng se batla tshupo nngwe e e sa tlwaelesegang mo magodimong, mme ga go na sesupo sepe se se tlaa dirwang fa e se mofuta o o neetsweng Jona.” Hong Jesu a tswela kwa ntle a ba tlogela.
5 When they crossed to the other side, the disciples forgot to take bread.
Erile ba sena go kgabaganya lecha, barutwa ba lemoga gore ba lebetse go tla le dijo.
6 “Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Mme Jesu a ba tlhagisa a re, “Itlhokomeleng! Itiseng mo sebidisong sa Bafarasai le Basadukai.”
7 They discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”
Ba gopola gore o na a bua jaana ka gore ba ne ba lebetse go tla le senkgwe.
8 Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?
Jesu a ba a itse se ba se akanyang mme a ba raya a re, batho ba tumelo potlana! Ke eng fa lo tshwenyegile jaana ka go tlhoka senkgwe?
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
A ga lo kitla lo tlhaloganya? A ga lo gakologelwe bontsi jwa batho bo le dikete tse ke di hephileng ka dinkgwe di le tlhano, le diroto tse di neng tsa tlogelwa di tletse masalela? A ga lo gakologelwe dikete tse nne tse ke di hephileng le gotlhe mo go neng ga sala?
10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
11 How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Lo ka akanya jang gore ke ne ke bua ka dijo? Mme gape ka re, “Itiseng mo sebidisong sa Bafarasai le Basadukai.”
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.
Hong kwa bofelong ba tlhaloganya gore ka ‘sebidiso’ o na a raya thuto e e sa siamang ya Bafarasai le Basadukai.
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
Erile a goroga kwa Kaesarea Filipi, a botsa barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Batho ba re ke mang?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Ba fetola ba re, “Bangwe ba re Johane wa Mokolobetsi; bangwe ba re Elija, bangwe ba re Jeremia kgotsa mongwe wa baporofiti ba bangwe.”
15 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Hong a ba botsa a re, “Lona lo akanya gore ke mang?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Simone Petere a fetola a re, “Keresete Mesia Morwa Modimo o o tshedileng”.
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.
Jesu a mo raya a re, “Modimo o go segofaditse, Simone, morwa Jona. Gonne Rara yo o kwa legodimong ke ene yo o go senoletseng dilo tse ka boene, ga go a tswa mo go ope.
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)
O Petere, lefika, mme ke aga phuthego ya me mo lefikeng le, mme dinonofo tsotlhe tsa molete ga di kitla di e fenya. (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.”
Mme ke tlaa go neela dilotlolo tsa bogosi jwa legodimo, dikgoro dingwe le dingwe tse o di lotlelang mo lefatshing, di tla lotlelwa kwa legodimong; mme dikgoro dingwe le dingwe tse o di lotlololang mo lefatsheng, di tlaa lotlololwa kwa legodimong!”
20 Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
Hong a laya barutwa gore ba se ka ba bolelela bape fa e le Mesia.
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.
Go tswa foo Jesu a simolola go tlhalosetsa barutwa ba gagwe kaga go ya kwa Jerusalema, le se se tlaa mo diragalelang teng, gore o tlaa boga mo diatleng tsa baeteledipele ba Sejuta, le gore o tla bolawa le gore e tlaa re morago ga malatsi a le mararo a tsosiwe gape.
22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”
Mme Petere a mo tseela fa thoko go mo kgalemela a mo raya a re, “A mogopolo oo o nyelele Morena. Mo ga go kitla go go diragalela!”
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.”
Jesu a retologela kwa go Petere a re, “Tloga fa go nna, Satane ke wena! O lemena le le diphatsa mo go nna. O akanya ka fa batho ba bonang ka teng, e seng ka fa Modimo o akanyang ka teng.”
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.
Hong Jesu a raya barutwa a re, “Fa motho le fa e le mang a rata go nna molatedi wa me, a a iitatole a tseye mokgoro wa gagwe a ntshale morago.
25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
Gonne le fa e le mang yo o ipolokelang botshelo jwa gagwe bo tlaa mo latlhegela; mme le fa e le mang yo o latlhegelwang ke botshelo jwa gagwe ka ntlha ya me o tlaa bo bona gape.
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?
Go na le poelo ya eng fa motho a rua lefatshe lotlhe, mme a latlhegelwa ke botshelo jo bo sa khutleng? Se se ka tshwantshiwang le letlotlo la botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ke eng?
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.
Gonne Nna, Morwa Motho, ke tlaa tla le baengele ba me mo kgalalelong ya ga Rre go atlhola mongwe le mongwe ka fa ditirong tsa gagwe.
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.”
Mme bangwe ba lona ba ba emeng fano jaanong jaana ba tshelela go mpona ke tla mo Bogosing jwa me.”
