Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to [him], asked him, tempting [him], to shew them a sign out of heaven.
Mafalisi ni Masadduki chibeza ni kulika Jesu ka kumubuza kuti aba tondeze chisupo chizwa kwiwuli.
2 But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red;
Mi na betaba kuti “chiminemine chezuba ha chisika mu wamba kuti bwikalo bwe wulu mubube hande, kakuti iwulu chili subilile.
3 and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red [and] lowering; ye know [how] to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times.
Imi chimeneko mu wamba kuti, “Mazimo ewulu mwabe mabi kakuti kwiwulu busubile.” Mwizi kutoloka zintu zitondezwa mwiwulu, kono ka mwizi kutalusa zitondeza inako.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.
Mulahi wa chive ni busangu u saka chitondeza, mi kakwina chitondeza konji Joani.” Linu Jesu cha katuka ku yenda ni kuba siya.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Balutwana chibakeza kwi ishilya limwi, kono chibazibala kuhinda zinkwe.
6 And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Jesu cha wamba kuti, “mu mamele mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki”.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.
Balutwana chiba kopanya mihupulo ni ku wamba kuti, “kakuti kena tweza ni zinkwa”.
8 And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?
Jesu chaba lemuhite zoose mi chawamba kuti “Inwe be ntumelo inini, cinzi hazeza bulyo mukati kanu ni kutakuti kakuti kena mwahinda zinkwa?
9 Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took [up]?
Kana muzeza za zinkwa zibali kupanga iyanza, zibakwani bantu bena 5.000, mi zitanda zongayi zi mube zuzi?
10 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took [up]?
Kapa zinkwa zibena iyanza ni zobele ku bantu ba bena 4.000, mi zongayi zitanda zi mu bahindi?
11 How do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
Ha mu sazuwisisi chinzi kuti kani wamba nanwe za zinkwa? Mukole ni ku mamela za mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki.”
12 Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Linu chiba muzuwisisa kuti kena a talusa za mulungo, kono kumamela intuto ya Mafasi ni Masadduki.
13 But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
Haho Jesu cha keza ku munzi umwi wa Chaesarea Filipi, chabuza balutwana bakwe, kuti, “Njozuhi bantu u bata kuti nji Mwan'a Muntu?”
14 And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.
Chibe taba kuti, “bamwi ba wamba kuti njeye Joani yokolobeza, bamwi nji Elija, mi bamwi bati nji Jeremia, kapa zumwi wa bapolofita.”
15 He says to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am?
Chati ku bali, “Chwale inwe muti Njemeni?”
16 And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Chikwe taba Simone Pitrosi cati, “Njewe Keresite, mwan' a we Reza yohala.”
17 And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
Jesu chetaba ni ku muta kuti, “Intohonolo nji yako Simone mwan' a a Joana, kakuti kena inyama kapa malaha, za ku cheniseza, kono nji Tayo wa kwiwulu.
18 And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Imi name niti njewe Pitorosi, ibwe hente nizake inkeleke yangu. Milyango ya bafwile kente ni iizunde. (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.
Ka ni kuhe inkiyi za mubuso wa kwiwulu. Chonse cho sumina hansi ni kwiwulu kaci suminwe, hape chonse cho sumununa hansi ni kwiwulu muchi sumununwe.”
20 Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.
Linu Jesu chalaela balutwana bakwe kuti kana bawambili ni haike muntu umwina kuti njeye Keresite.
21 From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.
Kuzwa heyo inako Jesu, chatanga ku wambila balutwana bakwe kuti cho kutameha kuyenda kwa Jerusalema, mi kusukuluka kakube kungi mu manza a bentanzi, bañoli, ni bakulwana ba mapulisita, kwi haiwe, ni kubuswa kubola ku kuhala mwizuba lya butatu.
22 And Peter taking him to [him] began to rebuke him, saying, [God] be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee.
Linu Pitorosi na mukungwila kwimbali na munyasa nati, “Ichi chintu chibe kule nawe, Simwine, sanzi chitendahali kwako”.
23 But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
Kono Jesu cha chebuka ni kuta Pitorosi, kuti “zwe kwangu, Satani! U chi sitataliso kwangu. Iwe kobilaela ni zintu ze Reeza, kono zintu za buntu.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Linu Jesu cha wamba ku balutwana bakwe, “Heba kwina usaka kuni chilila, uswanela ku lisungula, a hinde chifapano chakwe, ni kuni chilila.
25 For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Muntu yense usaka buhalo bwakwe mwa bu mayiba, kono yo sinyehelwa buhalo bwakwe ke baka lyangu mwa buwane.
26 For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ka chi muhenzi muntu kuti a mune inkanda yonse kono umaninwa buhalo bwakwe? Chinzi muntu cawola kuha kuti a wane buhalo bwa kwe?
27 For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.
Mwan' a Muntu mwe ze mwinkanya Yesi ni mañiloyi a kwe. Linu njente ahe muntu ni muntu impo kakuya ka zintu za batendi.
28 Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Ikumbya ni mi wambile buniti, kwina bamwi bazimene hanu, kense ni ba bone bakane lufu konji chi ba bona Mwan'a Muntu neza mu mubuso wakwe.
