Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii bịakwutere Jisọs ịnwa ya ọnwụnwa. Ha gwara ya sị, “Gosi anyị ihe ịrịbama si nʼeluigwe.”
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
Ọ zara ha, “Mgbe o ruru anyasị unu na-asị, ‘Ihu eluigwe ga-adị mma nʼihi na ọ na-acha uhie uhie.’
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Nʼụtụtụ unu na-asị, ‘Anyị ga-enwe mmiri ozuzo taa nʼihi na ihu eluigwe na-acha uhie uhie ma na-eji oji.’ Lee na unu pụrụ ịkọwa ihu eluigwe, ma unu apụghị isite nʼihe ịrịbama ndị a unu na-ahụ anya kọwaa ihe oge a anyị nọ nʼime ya pụtara.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Ajọ ọgbọ nke jupụtara nʼịkwa iko, nke na-arịọkwa ihe ịrịbama. Ọ nweghị ihe ịrịbama ọzọ a ga-egosi ya karịa ihe ịrịbama Jona.” Mgbe ahụ ọ sitere nʼebe ahụ ha nọ pụọ.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Mgbe ha gafesịrị nʼofe ọzọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya chetara na ha ejighị achịcha ọbụla.
6 Then Yahushua said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Nʼoge ahụ kwa, Jisọs dụrụ ha ọdụ sị ha, “Lezienụ anya, ma na-ezekwa ihe ndị na-eko achịcha ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii.”
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
Ha malitere na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe ha, na-asị, ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị ewetaghị ogbe achịcha ọbụla.
8 Which when Yahushua perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
Ebe ọ bụ na Jisọs matara ihe ha na-eche, ọ sịrị, “Unu ndị okwukwe nta! Gịnị mere unu ji na-esogbu onwe unu nʼihi na unu enweghị achịcha?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Olee mgbe unu ga-amata ihe? Ọ bụ na unu echetaghị puku mmadụ ise ahụ m jiri ogbe achịcha ise mee ka ha rijuo afọ? Ọ bụ nkata ole ka unu tụtụjuru?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Unu echetakwaghị na m ji ogbe achịcha asaa zụọ puku mmadụ anọ? Iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Gịnị mere unu aghọtaghị na ọ bụghị ihe banyere achịcha ka m na-ekwu? Cheenụ onwe unu nche nʼebe ihe na-eko achịcha ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii nọ.”
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mgbe ahụ ka ha ghọtara na ihe ọ na-akọwara ha abụghị ihe banyere ihe na-eko achịcha nke a na-ata ata, kama ọ bụ ihe banyere ozizi ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii.
13 When Yahushua came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
Mgbe Jisọs bịaruru obodo a na-akpọ Sizaria Filipai, ọ jụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ajụjụ sị ha, “Onye ka ndị mmadụ na-asị na Nwa nke Mmadụ bụ?”
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, EliYah; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
Ha zara ya sị, “Ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Jọn omee baptizim, ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Ịlaịja, ndị ọzọ na-asịkwa na ị bụ Jeremaya, maọbụ otu nʼime ndị amụma.”
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ma unu onwe unu, ọ bụ onye ka unu na-asị na m bụ?”
16 And Simon Kepha answered and said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.
Saimọn Pita zara sị ya, “Ị bụ Kraịst ahụ, Ọkpara Chineke dị ndụ.”
17 And Yahushua answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Jisọs gwara ya sị, “Saimọn Pita nwa Jona, ị bụ onye a gọziri agọzi, nʼihi na anụ ahụ na ọbara ekpugheghị ya nye gị. Kama, ọ bụ Nna m bi nʼeluigwe mere ka ị mata ya.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Kepha, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Ma mụ onwe m na-agwa gị, na gị onwe gị bụ Pita. Ọ bụkwa nʼelu nkume a ka m ga-ewu ụlọ chọọchị m. Ike niile nke ọkụ ala mmụọ apụghịkwa iguzo megide ya. (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Aga m enye gị mkpisi igodo alaeze eluigwe. Ihe ọbụla ị ga-eke agbụ nʼelu ụwa, ka a ga-ekekwa agbụ nʼeluigwe. Ihe ọbụla ị ga-atọpụ nʼagbụ nʼụwa, a ga-atọpụkwa ya nʼeluigwe.”
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Yahushua the Messiah.
Mgbe ahụ, o nyere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iwu ka ha ghara ime ka onye ọbụla mata na ya bụ Kraịst ahụ.
21 From that time forth began Yahushua to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Site nʼoge ahụ Jisọs malitere ịkọwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, na ya aghaghị ịga Jerusalem, ebe ọ ga-ahụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị iche iche site nʼaka ndị okenye, na ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu. O mere ka ha mata na aghaghị igbu ya, ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ, a ga-eme ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie.
22 Then Kepha took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, my master: this shall not be unto thee.
Pita duuru ya pụọ nʼotu akụkụ, nọdụ nʼebe ahụ baara ya mba sị ya, “Onyenwe m, Chineke ekwela. Ihe ndị a agaghị adakwasị gị!”
23 But he turned, and said unto Kepha, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of Elohim, but those that be of men.
Ma o chigharịrị sị Pita, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ekwensu! Ị bụ ihe mgbochi nye m. Nʼihi na ihe ị na-eche echiche ya bụ naanị echiche mmadụ, ọ bụghị uche Chineke.”
24 Then said Yahushua unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla achọọ ịbụ onye na-eso ụzọ m, ya buru ụzọ jụ onwe ya, buru obe ya, soro m nʼazụ.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-eche ndụ ya nche ka ọ hapụ ifunarị ya ga-atụfu ya. Ma onye ọbụla tufuru ndụ ya nʼihi m, ga-achọtakwa ya.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Nʼihi na uru gịnị ka mmadụ nwetara ma ọ bụrụ na o ritechaa ụwa niile nʼuru ma tufuo ndụ ya? Maọbụ gịnị bụ ihe ahụ dị nʼụwa nke mmadụ ga-eji gbanwee ndụ ya?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Nʼihi na Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-abịa nʼebube nke Nna ya, ya na ndị mmụọ ozi ya. Mgbe ahụ ka ọ ga-ekpe onye ọbụla ikpe dị ka ọrụ ya si dị.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
“Nʼezie asị m unu, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe, agaghị edetụ ọnwụ ire, tụpụ ha ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-abịa nʼalaeze ya.”
