Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai na Asadukai magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũgeria na kũmwĩra amaringĩre kĩama kiumĩte igũrũ makĩone.
2 But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa gwatuka, muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ nĩgũkaara-ĩ, tondũ igũrũ nĩ gũtune’.
3 In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
Ningĩ rũciinĩ muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũmũthĩ nĩgũkũgĩa kĩhuhũkanio, tondũ igũrũ nĩ gũtune na gũgathimba.’ Nĩmũũĩ gũtaũra ũrĩa igũrũ rĩtariĩ, no mũtingĩhota gũtaũra imenyithia cia mahinda maya tũrĩ.
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.
Rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu na rwa ũtharia rũũragia rũringĩrwo kĩama, no gũtirĩ kĩama rũkũringĩrwo tiga kĩama kĩrĩa kĩa Jona.” Nake Jesũ akĩmatiga, agĩĩthiĩra.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
Rĩrĩa maaringire iria, arutwo ake magĩkorwo nĩmariganĩirwo nĩgũkuua mĩgate.
6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei, na mwĩhũgage ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai na Asadukai.”
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
Nao makĩaranĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Hihi nĩ tondũ tũtinoka na mĩgate.”
8 But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
Nake Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meeranaga, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ a wĩtĩkio mũnini, nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwaranĩrie ũhoro wa kwaga mĩgate?
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Kaĩ mũtarĩ mwataũkĩrwo? Mũtingĩririkana mĩgate ĩtano ĩrĩa yarĩirwo nĩ andũ ngiri ithano, na nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie?
10 Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Kana mĩgate mũgwanja ĩrĩa yarĩirwo nĩ andũ ngiri inya, na nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie?
11 Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragiria mũmenye atĩ ndikwaragia ũhoro wa mĩgate? No mwĩhũgagei ndawa ĩyo ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai na Asadukai.”
12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩmenya atĩ ndaameeraga mehũũge nĩ ũndũ wa ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate, no nĩ memenyagĩrĩre ũrutani wa Afarisai na Asadukai.
13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aakinyire rũgongo rwa Kaisarea-Filipi, nĩoririe arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nũũ?”
14 They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amwe moigaga atĩ nĩwe Johana Mũbatithania; angĩ makoiga nĩwe Elija, o na angĩ makoiga nĩwe Jeremia, kana ũmwe wa anabii.”
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ na inyuĩ muugaga atĩa? Muugaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?”
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Simoni Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Kristũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai ũrĩa wĩ muoyo.”
17 And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩwe Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, nĩgũkorwo ndũguũrĩirio ũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũndũ, no nĩ Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Na niĩ ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ, wee nĩwe Petero, na igũrũ rĩa ihiga rĩrĩ nĩngaka kanitha wakwa, nacio ihingo cia kwa ngoma itikaũtooria. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Nĩngakũnengera cabi cia ũthamaki wa igũrũ; na kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkooha gũkũ thĩ nĩgĩkoohwo igũrũ, na kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkoohora gũkũ thĩ, nĩgĩkoohorwo igũrũ.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
Agĩcooka agĩkaania arutwo ake matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ atĩ we nĩwe Kristũ.
21 From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria gũtaarĩria arutwo ake atĩ no nginya athiĩ Jerusalemu, na athĩĩnio mũno nĩ athuuri, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho, na atĩ no nginya ooragwo, na thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ ariũke.
22 Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
Nake Petero akĩmũtwara keheri-inĩ, akĩmũkaania, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ũndũ ũcio ndũkanagũkore!”
23 But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."
Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũrĩra Petero, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cooka thuutha wakwa, Shaitani! Wee wĩ mũhĩnga harĩ niĩ; wee ndwĩciiragia maũndũ moimĩte kũrĩ Ngai, tiga maũndũ moimĩte kũrĩ andũ.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩenda kũnũmĩrĩra, no nginya eerege we mwene, oe mũtharaba wake aanũmĩrĩre.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wendaga kũhonokia muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo; no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakaũhonokia.
26 For what will it profit a person, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, mũndũ angĩĩguna nakĩ o na angĩĩgwatĩra thĩ yothe, na orwo nĩ muoyo wake? Kana nĩ kĩĩ mũndũ angĩkũũrania muoyo wake nakĩo?
27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
Nĩgũkorwo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩagooka na riiri wa Ithe hamwe na araika ake, na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩakahe o mũndũ kĩheo gĩake kũringana na ciĩko ciake.
28 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka na ũthamaki wake.”
