Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Ba Falisi aba Sadusi bakeza mpawo bamusunka akumubuzya kuti abatondezye chitondezyo chizwa kujulu.
2 But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
Pesi wakasandula akwamba kuti kuli mbabo, “Nikwasiya, mwamba kuti, 'Kuyoba kunze kubotu, nkambo ijulu lilasalala.'
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.
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 after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.
Izyalane ibbi abwamu lilangula chitondezyo, pesi takwe chitondezyo chiyopegwa kulindilyo kutaamba chitondezyo cha Jona.” Mpawo, Jesu wakabasiya akutozya kumbi.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
Basikwiya nibakasika mutala, bakalubide kubweza chinkwa.
6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Amubone akuchenjela kubumena bwaba Falisi aba Sadusi.”
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
Elyo basikwiya bakabuzyanya akwamba kuti, nkambo tetwabweza pe chinkwa.”
8 But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
Jesu wakaziba achechi mpawo wakati, “Nywebo nubasilusyomo lunini, nkambonzi mulabuzyania lwanu mpawo mulati nkambo tetwabweza pe chinkwa?
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many 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 for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Na zinkwa zili musanu aazibili kuzyuulu zine, alimwi kuti ninsangwa zyongane nzimwakabungika?
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."
Ino nkambonzi kuti tamumvwisisyi kuti tendakalikwamba kulindinywe aatala achinkwa? Aamubone akuchenjela kubumena bwaba Falisi aba Sadusi.”
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.
Mpawo bakamvwisya kuti takali kubambila kuti bachenjele bumena bwakali bwachinkwa pe, pesi kuti bachenjelele injisyo zyaba Falisi aba Sadusi.
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?"
Lino Jesu nakasika kuzisi zili kufwifwi aa Kkayisaliya Filipi, wakabuzya basikwiya bakwe, wati, “Ino bantu bati Mwana aa Muntu ngwani?
14 They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, 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 said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Wakati kulimbabo, “Pesi nywebo mundamba kuti ndimeni?”
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
Sayimoni Pita wakasandula wati, “Nduwe Kkilisito Mwana wa Leza uupona.”
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.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “Uli aacholwe, Sayimoni mwana a Jona, nkambo nyama abulowa teensi nzizyo zyakuyubunwida eezi, pesi Taata wangu uli kujulu.
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)
Alimwi ambebo ndamba kuti kulinduwe nduwe Pita, mpawo aatala amwaala ooyu ndiyoyaka mbungano yangu. Milyango yazibunda tikozokuzunda. (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."
Ndiyokupa zijaluzyo zyabwami bwakujulu. Kufumbwa nchotakaange aansi chiyosungwa akujulu, alimwikufumbwa nchotakangunune aansi chiyosungununwa aakujulu.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Messiah.
Mpawo Jesu wakalayilila basikwiya kuti batakaambili naba umwi kuti wakali Kkilisito.
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.
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 Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
Mpawo Pita wakamubweza akumutola kiumbali akumuchibula, wati, “Eezi azibe kule anduwe, Mwami; eezi zitazochitiki kulinduwe.”
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."
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 desires to come after me, let him deny 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 desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will 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 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?
Nkambo chigwasyanzi kumuntu kuvuba nyika yoonse pesi akaswekelwe buumi? Ninzi nchakonzya kupa muntu muchibaka chabuumi bwakwe?
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.
Nkambo Mwana muntu uyoboola mubulemju bwa Wisi abangelo bakwe. Mpawo uyolumbula muntu umwi awumwi mbuli milimo yakwe.
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."
Chakasimpe ndamwambila kuti, mpubali bamwi benu bayiimvwi ano batakwe nibayolabila lufu mane lumwi bakabone Mwana aa Muntu kaboola mubwami bwakwe.”
