Matthew 16
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to them a sign from Heaven,
Ba Falisi aba Sadusi bakeza mpawo bamusunka akumubuzya kuti abatondezye chitondezyo chizwa kujulu.
2 and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, for the sky is red,
Pesi wakasandula akwamba kuti kuli mbabo, “Nikwasiya, mwamba kuti, 'Kuyoba kunze kubotu, nkambo ijulu lilasalala.'
3 and at morning, Foul weather today, for the sky is red—gloomy; hypocrites, you indeed know to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times you are not able!
Nikuba chifuma, mwamba kuti, 'Kunze kunoli kubi, nkambo ijulu lilasalala alimwi lilivumbidwe. Mulizi kupandulula bwime bwakujulu, pesi tamukonzyi kupandulula zitondezyo zyazyiindi.
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet”; and having left them He went away.
Izyalane ibbi abwamu lilangula chitondezyo, pesi takwe chitondezyo chiyopegwa kulindilyo kutaamba chitondezyo cha Jona.” Mpawo, Jesu wakabasiya akutozya kumbi.
5 And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,
Basikwiya nibakasika mutala, bakalubide kubweza chinkwa.
6 and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Amubone akuchenjela kubumena bwaba Falisi aba Sadusi.”
7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
Elyo basikwiya bakabuzyanya akwamba kuti, nkambo tetwabweza pe chinkwa.”
8 And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?
Jesu wakaziba achechi mpawo wakati, “Nywebo nubasilusyomo lunini, nkambonzi mulabuzyania lwanu mpawo mulati nkambo tetwabweza pe chinkwa?
9 Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you took up?
Tamuna kuziba na kwibaluka zinkwa zili musanu kulibali zyuulu zili musanu, alimwi kuti mwakabungika nsangwa zyongane?
10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Na zinkwa zili musanu aazibili kuzyuulu zine, alimwi kuti ninsangwa zyongane nzimwakabungika?
11 How do you not understand that I did not speak to you of bread—to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
Ino nkambonzi kuti tamumvwisisyi kuti tendakalikwamba kulindinywe aatala achinkwa? Aamubone akuchenjela kubumena bwaba Falisi aba Sadusi.”
12 Then they understood that He did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Mpawo bakamvwisya kuti takali kubambila kuti bachenjele bumena bwakali bwachinkwa pe, pesi kuti bachenjelele injisyo zyaba Falisi aba Sadusi.
13 And Jesus, having come to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do men say I am—the Son of Man?”
Lino Jesu nakasika kuzisi zili kufwifwi aa Kkayisaliya Filipi, wakabuzya basikwiya bakwe, wati, “Ino bantu bati Mwana aa Muntu ngwani?
14 And they said, “Some, John the Immerser, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
Bakati, “Bamwi bakwamba kuti nduwe Joni mubbabbatizyi; bamwi bati, Elayija; alimwi bamwi bakuti, Jelemiya, na umbi wabasinsimi.”
15 He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?”
Wakati kulimbabo, “Pesi nywebo mundamba kuti ndimeni?”
16 And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Sayimoni Pita wakasandula wati, “Nduwe Kkilisito Mwana wa Leza uupona.”
17 And Jesus answering said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but My Father who is in the heavens.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “Uli aacholwe, Sayimoni mwana a Jona, nkambo nyama abulowa teensi nzizyo zyakuyubunwida eezi, pesi Taata wangu uli kujulu.
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Assembly, and [the] gates of Hades will not prevail against it; (Hadēs g86)
Alimwi ambebo ndamba kuti kulinduwe nduwe Pita, mpawo aatala amwaala ooyu ndiyoyaka mbungano yangu. Milyango yazibunda tikozokuzunda. (Hadēs g86)
19 and I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you may bind on the earth will be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever you may loose on the earth will be having been loosed in the heavens.”
Ndiyokupa zijaluzyo zyabwami bwakujulu. Kufumbwa nchotakaange aansi chiyosungwa akujulu, alimwikufumbwa nchotakangunune aansi chiyosungununwa aakujulu.”
20 Then He charged His disciples that they may say to no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
Mpawo Jesu wakalayilila basikwiya kuti batakaambili naba umwi kuti wakali Kkilisito.
21 From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it is necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.
Kuzwa kuchindi echo Jesu wakatalika kwambila basikwiya bakwe kuti welede kwinka ku Jelusalema, kuyopengela zinti zyingi kumaanza abapati abapayizi bapati abalembi, kujayigwa, akubusigilwa kubuumi kubuzuba bwatatu.
22 And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, Lord; this will not be to You”;
Mpawo Pita wakamubweza akumutola kiumbali akumuchibula, wati, “Eezi azibe kule anduwe, Mwami; eezi zitazochitiki kulinduwe.”
23 and He having turned, said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
Pesi Jesu wakachebuka akwamba kuli Pita kuti, “Zwaawa kusule lyangu, Satani! Uli chilebyo kulindime, nkambo toyeeyi atala azintu zya Leza, pesi ataala aazintu zyabantu.”
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wills to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me,
Mpawo Jesu wakati kuli basikwiya bakwe, “Na muntu kayanda kunditobela, aalilube lwakwe, abweze chiingano chakwe mpawo anditobele.
25 for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it;
Nkambo kufumbwa uyanda kufutula buumi bwakwe uyobuswekelwa, alimwi kufumbwa uswekelwa buumi bwakwe nkambo kandime uyobujana.
26 for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?
Nkambo chigwasyanzi kumuntu kuvuba nyika yoonse pesi akaswekelwe buumi? Ninzi nchakonzya kupa muntu muchibaka chabuumi bwakwe?
27 For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father, with His messengers, and then He will reward each according to his work.
Nkambo Mwana muntu uyoboola mubulemju bwa Wisi abangelo bakwe. Mpawo uyolumbula muntu umwi awumwi mbuli milimo yakwe.
28 Truly I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who will not taste of death until they may see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Chakasimpe ndamwambila kuti, mpubali bamwi benu bayiimvwi ano batakwe nibayolabila lufu mane lumwi bakabone Mwana aa Muntu kaboola mubwami bwakwe.”
