< Matthew 16 >

1 Thither some Pharisees and Sadducees repaired, who, to try him, desired that he would show them a sign in the sky.
VaFarisi navaSadhusi vakauya kuna Jesu vakamuedza nokumukumbira kuti avaratidze chiratidzo chinobva kudenga.
2 He answering, said to them, In the evening you say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is red:
Akavapindura achiti, “Panosvika nguva yamadekwana munoti, ‘Mamiriro okunze achange akanaka nokuti denga rakatsvuka.’
3 and in the morning, There will be a storm to-day, for the sky is red and lowering. You can judge aright of the appearance of the sky, but can you not discern the signs of the times?
Uye mangwanani munoti, ‘Nhasi kuchanaya mvura ine dutu nokuti denga rakatsvuka uye kwakakwidibira.’ Munoziva kududzira zvinoonekwa mudenga, asi hamugoni kududzira zviratidzo zvenguva.
4 An evil and adulterous race demands a sign, but no sign shall be given it, except the sign of the Prophet Jonah. Then leaving them he departed.
Rudzi rwakaipa rwoupombwe runotsvaka chiratidzo, asi hapana chichapiwa kwarwuri kunze kwechiratidzo chaJona.” Ipapo Jesu akavasiya, akaenda kumwe.
5 Now his disciples, before they came over, had forgot to bring loaves with them.
Pavakayambuka mhiri kwegungwa, vadzidzi vakakanganwa kutakura chingwa.
6 Jesus said to them, Take head, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Chenjerai mungwarire mbiriso yavaFarisi navaSadhusi.”
7 On which they said, reasoning among themselves, This is because we have brought no loaves with us.
Vakakurukura nezvenyaya iyi pakati pavo vakati, “Anodaro nokuti hatina kuuya nechingwa.”
8 Jesus perceiving it, said, What do you reason amongst yourselves, O you distrustful! that I speak thus, because you have brought no loaves.
Achiziva izvi Jesu akavabvunza akati, “Imi vokutenda kuduku, ko, muri kutauriranei pakati penyu nezvokusava nechingwa?
9 Have you no reflection? or do you not remember the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets you filled with the fragments:
Hamusati mava kunzwisisa here? Hamurangariri here zvingwa zvishanu zvavanhu vane zviuru zvishanu uye kuti makazadza matengu mangani ezvamakaunganidza?
10 nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many hand-baskets you filled?
Kana kuti zvingwa zvinomwe zvavanhu zviuru zvina uye kuti makazadza matengu mangani ezvamakaunganidza?
11 How is it, that you do not understand, that I spoke not concerning bread, when I bade you beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Hamunzwisisi sei kuti ndanga ndisingatauri kwamuri nezvechingwa? Asi chenjererai mbiriso yavaFarisi navaSadhusi.”
12 Then they understood, that he cautioned them not against the leaven which the Pharisees and the Sadducees used in bread, but against their doctrine.
Ipapo vakanzwisisa kuti ainge asingavaudzi kuti vachenjerere mbiriso inoshandiswa muchingwa, asi nezvedzidziso yavaFarisi navaSadhusi.
13 As Jesus was going to the district of Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of Man is?
Jesu akati asvika kudunhu reKesaria Firipi, akabvunza vadzidzi vake akati, “Vanhu vanoti Mwanakomana woMunhu ndiani?”
14 They answered, Some say, John the Immerser; others, Elijah; others, Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.
Vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi, vamwewo vanoti Eria, vamwewo vachiti Jeremia kana mumwe wavaprofita.”
15 But who, returned he, do you say that I am?
Akabvunza akati, “Ko, imi munoti ndini ani?”
16 Simon Peter answering, said, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Simoni Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.”
17 Jesus replying, said to him, Happy are you, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Wakaropafadzwa iwe Simoni mwanakomana waJona, nokuti izvi hazvina kuzarurirwa kwauri nomunhu asi naBaba vangu vari kudenga.
18 I tell you, likewise, you are named Stone; and on this rock I will build my congregation, over which the gates of Hades shall not prevail. (Hadēs g86)
Ndinoti kwauri, iwe ndiwe Petro, paruware urwu ndichavaka kereke yangu, kunyange masuo eHadhesi haangaikundi. (Hadēs g86)
19 Moreover, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
Ndichakupa kiyi dzoumambo hwokudenga; chose chaunosunga pano pasi chichasungwa kudenga, uye chose chaunosunungura pano pasi nokudenga chichasunungurwa.”
20 Then he forbade his disciples to tell any many that he is the Messiah.
Ipapo akayambira vadzidzi vake kuti vasaudze ani zvake kuti iye ndiye Kristu.
21 From that time Jesus began to disclose to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and there suffer much from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and that he must be raised the third day.
Kubva panguva iyoyo Jesu akatanga kutsanangurira vadzidzi vake kuti anofanira kuenda kuJerusarema kundotambudzwa kwazvo pamaoko avakuru navaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vemirayiro uye kuti anofanira kuurayiwa nokumutswazve pazuva retatu.
22 On which, Peter taking him aside, reproved him, saying, Be this far from you, Master; this shall not befall you.
Petro akamutora padivi akatanga kumutsiura achiti, “Hazviitiki, Ishe. Izvi hazvisi kuzoitika kwamuri!”
23 But he turning, said to Peter, Get you thence, adversary, you are an obstacle in my way; for you relish not the things of God, but the things of men.
Jesu akatendeukira kwaari akati, “Enda shure kwangu Satani! Uri chigumbuso kwandiri nokuti hauna zvinhu zvaMwari mupfungwa dzako asi zvavanhu.”
24 Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Ipapo Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Kana paine anoda kunditevera, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake, anditevere.
25 For, whosoever would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
Nokuti ani naani anoda kuchengetedza upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuwana.
26 What is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, with the forfeit of his life? or what will a man not give in ransom for his life?
Ko, munhu achabatsirwa nei kana akawana nyika yose, asi achirasikirwa noupenyu hwake? Kana kuti munhu acharipeiko kuti adzikinure upenyu hwake?
27 For the Son of Man, vested with his Father's glory, shall come hereafter with his heavenly messengers, and recompense every one according to his actions.
Nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu achauya ari mukubwinya kwaBaba vake aine vatumwa vake, ipapo achapa mubayiro kuno mumwe nomumwe maererano namabasa ake.
28 Indeed, I say to you, some of those who are present, shall not taste death, until they see the Son of Man enter upon his Reign.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti vamwe vamire pano havazofi vasati vaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achiuya muumambo hwake.”
