< Matthew 16 >

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Awo Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo ne bajja eri Yesu okumugezesa nga bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu.
2 But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Obudde bwe buwungeera mugamba nti, obudde bujja kuba bulungi kubanga eggulu limyuse nnyo.
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.
Ate eggulu bwe limyuka ku nkya mumanya nti olunaku lwonna obudde bujja kwefuukuula. Mumanyi bulungi endabika y’eggulu n’okwawula ebiseera, naye lwaki temusobola kutegeera bubonero bwa biro?
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.
Mmwe ab’omulembe omwonoonefu era omwenzi musaba akabonero naye temuliweebwa kabonero okuggyako aka Yona.” Yesu n’abaviira n’agenda.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
Abayigirizwa bwe baasomoka okuva emitala w’eri ne beerabira okuleeta emigaati.
6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa ky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.”
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
Naye Abayigirizwa ne boogeraganya bokka ne bokka nti, “Ayogedde bw’atyo kubanga tetwaleese migaati.”
8 But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe abalina okukkiriza okutono lwaki mweraliikirira nga mugamba nti, ‘temulina mmere?’
9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Era temunnategeera wadde okujjukira emigaati etaano abantu enkumi ettaano gye baalya, n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo?
10 Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Era n’emigaati omusanvu abantu enkumi ennya gye baalya n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo?
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."
Kale lwaki temutegeera nti mbadde ssoogera ku migaati? Naye mwekuume ekizimbulukusa eky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.”
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.
Ne balyoka bategeera nti yali tayogera ku kizimbulukusa kya migaati naye yali ayogera ku njigiriza y’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.
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?"
Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka mu kitundu kya Kayisaliya ekya Firipo n’abuuza abayigirizwa be nti, “Abantu Omwana w’Omuntu bagamba nti ye ani?”
14 They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala nti Eriya, n’abalala nti Yeremiya oba omu ku bannabbi.”
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mmwe mundowooza kuba ani?”
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Simooni Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda omulamu.”
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.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olina omukisa Simooni, omwana wa Yona, kubanga ekyo Kitange ali mu ggulu y’akikubikkulidde, so tokiggye mu bantu.
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)
Era nkutegeeza nti, Ggwe Peetero, olwazi, era ku lwazi okwo kwe ndizimba Ekkanisa yange, n’amaanyi gonna aga Setaani tegaligiwangula. (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."
Era ndikuwa ebisumuluzo by’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu; era kyonna ky’onoosibanga ku nsi, ne mu ggulu kinaasibwanga, na buli ky’onoosumululanga ku nsi, ne mu ggulu kinaasumululwanga.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
Awo n’akuutira abayigirizwa be baleme kubuulirako muntu n’omu nti Ye 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.
Okuva mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’atandika okunnyonnyola abayigirizwa be nga bwe kimugwanidde okugenda e Yerusaalemi, abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bamubonyeebonye, era bamutte; naye ku lunaku olwokusatu azuukire.
22 Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
Peetero n’amuzza ebbali n’atandika okumunenya ng’amugamba nti, “Katonda akulage ekisa Mukama waffe. Bino tebirikutuukako.”
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."
Naye Yesu n’akyukira Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Dda ennyuma wange Setaani. Oli kyesittaza gye ndi, kubanga tolowoozeza bintu bya Katonda wabula olowooza bintu bya bantu.”
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.
Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Omuntu bw’ayagala okungoberera asaana yeefiirize yekka, yeetikke omusaalaba gwe alyoke angoberere.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
Kubanga buli agezaako okuwonya obulamu bwe alibufiirwa, oyo alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibuwonya.
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?
Kigasa ki omuntu okufuna ensi yonna naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe? Oba kiki omuntu kyayinza okuwaayo olw’obulamu bwe?
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.
Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okujja mu kitiibwa kya Kitange ne bamalayika be alyoke asasule buli muntu ng’ebikolwa bye bwe byali.
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."
“Ddala ddala mbagamba nti ku mmwe abali wano kuliko abatalirega ku kufa okutuusa lwe baliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajja n’obwakabaka bwe.”
