Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Mafarisayo na Masadukayo wakamjia Yesu na kumjaribu kwa kumwomba awaonyeshe ishara kutoka mbinguni.
2 But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
Yesu akawajibu, “Ifikapo jioni, mnasema, ‘Hali ya hewa itakuwa nzuri, kwa kuwa anga ni nyekundu.’
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.
Nanyi wakati wa asubuhi mnasema, ‘Leo kutakuwa na dhoruba, kwa sababu anga ni nyekundu na mawingu yametanda.’ Mnajua jinsi ya kupambanua kule kuonekana kwa anga, lakini hamwezi kupambanua dalili za nyakati.
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.
Kizazi kiovu na cha uzinzi kinatafuta ishara, lakini hakitapewa ishara yoyote isipokuwa ishara ya Yona.” Yesu akawaacha, akaenda zake.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
Wanafunzi wake walipofika ngʼambo ya bahari, walikuwa wamesahau kuchukua mikate.
6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Yesu akawaambia, “Jihadharini. Jilindeni na chachu ya Mafarisayo na ya Masadukayo.”
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
Wakajadiliana wao kwa wao, wakisema, “Ni kwa sababu hatukuleta mikate.”
8 But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
Yesu, akifahamu majadiliano yao, akauliza, “Enyi wa imani haba! Mbona mnajadiliana miongoni mwenu kuhusu kutokuwa na mikate?
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Je, bado hamwelewi? Je, hamkumbuki ile mikate mitano iliyolisha watu 5,000 na idadi ya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki mlivyokusanya?
10 Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Au ile mikate saba iliyolisha watu 4,000 na idadi ya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki mlivyokusanya?
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."
Inakuwaje mnashindwa kuelewa kwamba nilikuwa sisemi nanyi habari za mikate? Jilindeni na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.”
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.
Ndipo wakaelewa kwamba alikuwa hasemi juu ya chachu ya kutengeneza mikate, bali juu ya mafundisho ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.
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?"
Basi Yesu alipofika katika eneo la Kaisaria-Filipi, akawauliza wanafunzi wake, “Watu husema kwamba mimi Mwana wa Adamu ni nani?”
14 They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
Wakamjibu, “Baadhi husema ni Yohana Mbatizaji; wengine husema ni Eliya; na bado wengine husema ni Yeremia au mmojawapo wa manabii.”
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Akawauliza, “Je, ninyi mnasema mimi ni nani?”
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Simoni Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai.”
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.
Naye Yesu akamwambia, “Heri wewe, Simoni Bar-Yona, kwa maana hili halikufunuliwa kwako na mwanadamu, bali na Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
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)
Nami nakuambia, wewe ndiwe Petro na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu, hata malango ya Kuzimu hayataweza kulishinda. (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."
Nitakupa funguo za Ufalme wa mbinguni, na lolote utakalolifunga duniani litakuwa limefungwa Mbinguni, nalo lolote utakalofungua duniani litakuwa limefunguliwa mbinguni.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
Kisha akawakataza wanafunzi wake wasimwambie mtu yeyote kwamba yeye ndiye Kristo.
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.
Tangu wakati huo, Yesu alianza kuwaeleza wanafunzi wake kwamba hana budi kwenda Yerusalemu na kupata mateso mengi mikononi mwa wazee, viongozi wa makuhani, na walimu wa sheria, na kwamba itampasa auawe lakini siku ya tatu kufufuliwa.
22 Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea akisema, “Haiwezekani, Bwana! Jambo hili kamwe halitakupata!”
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."
Lakini Yesu akageuka na kumwambia Petro, “Rudi nyuma yangu, Shetani! Wewe ni kikwazo kwangu. Moyo wako hauwazi yaliyo ya Mungu, bali ya wanadamu.”
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.
Ndipo Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Mtu yeyote akitaka kunifuata, ni lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
Kwa maana yeyote anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, lakini yeyote atakayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu atayapata.
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?
Kwa maana, je, itamfaidi nini mtu kuupata ulimwengu wote, lakini akayapoteza maisha yake? Au mtu atatoa nini badala ya nafsi yake?
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.
Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu atakuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika zake, naye ndipo atakapomlipa kila mtu kwa kadiri ya matendo yake.
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."
Nawaambia kweli, baadhi yenu hapa hawataonja mauti kabla ya kumwona Mwana wa Adamu akija katika Ufalme wake.”
