Matthew 16
1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
VaFarisi neVaSadhusi ndokuuya vachimuidza, vakamukumbira kuti avaratidze chiratidzo chinobva kudenga.
2 But Jesus answered, ‘In the evening you say “It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.”
Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Kana ava madekwani munoti: Kunze kwakanaka; nokuti denga rakatsvuka.
3 But in the morning you say “Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.” You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!
Uye mangwanani munoti: Nhasi kunze kwakaipa; nokuti denga rakatsvuka richikwidibira. Vanyepedzeri, munoziva kuparadzanisa mamiriro edenga, asi hamugoni kuparadzanisa zviratidzo zvenguva here?
4 A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.’ So he left them and went away.
Zera rakaipa uye rinofeva richitsvaka chiratidzo; asi haripiwi chiratidzo, kunze kwechiratidzo chaJona muporofita. Ndokuvasiya, akaenda.
5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
Zvino vadzidzi vakati vasvika mhiri, vakakanganwa kutora zvingwa.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, ‘Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Onai mungwarire mbiriso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi.
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
Vakarangana pakati pavo vachiti: Unodaro nokuti hatina kutora zvingwa.
8 On noticing this, Jesus said, ‘Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
Zvino Jesu azviziva akati kwavari: Imwi verutendo rudiki, nemhaka yei muchirangana pakati penyu kuti hamuna kutora zvingwa?
9 Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
Muchigere kunzwisisa here, kana kurangarira zvingwa zvishanu zvevanezvuru zvishanu, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
Kana zvingwa zvinomwe zvevanezvuru zvina, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?
11 How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
Hamunzwisisi sei, kuti handina kutaura kwamuri pamusoro pezvingwa kuti mungwarire mbiriso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi?
12 Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Zvino vakanzwisisa kuti haana kutaura kuti vachenjere mbiriso yechingwa, asi dzidziso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi.
13 On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’
Jesu wakati asvika kumativi eKesariya yeFiripi, akabvunza vadzidzi vake, achiti: Vanhu vanoti ini Mwanakomana wemunhu ndini ani?
14 ‘Some say John the Baptist,’ they answered, ‘Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.’
Ndokubva vati: Vamwe vanoti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi, uye vamwe Eria, vamwewo Jeremiya, kana umwe wevaporofita.
15 ‘But you,’ he said, ‘who do you say that I am?’
Akati kwavari: Ko imwi munoti ndini ani?
16 To this Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
Zvino Simoni Petro akapindura akati: Ndimwi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.
17 ‘Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,’ Jesus replied. ‘For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Wakaropafadzwa, Simoni mwanakomana waJona, nokuti nyama neropa hazvina kukuzarurira izvozvo, asi Baba vangu vari kumatenga.
18 Yes, and I say to you, your name is “Peter” – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)
Neni ndinoti kwauri: Ndiwe Petro, uye pamusoro peruware urwu ndichavaka kereke yangu, nemasuwo egehena haangaikundi. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.’
Uye ndichapa kwauri kiyi dzeushe hwekumatenga; uye chipi nechipi chauchasunga panyika, chichasungwa kumatenga; nechipi nechipi chauchasunungura panyika, chichasunungurwa kumatenga.
20 Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Ipapo akarairisa vadzidzi vake kuti varege kuudza munhu kuti ndiye Jesu iye Kristu.
21 At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
Kubva panguva iyo Jesu wakatanga kuratidza kuvadzidzi vake kuti anofanira kuenda kuJerusarema, uye kutambudzika zvizhinji zvichibva kuvakuru nevapristi vakuru nevanyori, nekuurawa, nekumutswa nezuva retatu.
22 But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘please God that will never be your fate!’
Petro akamutora parutivi, akatanga kumutsiura akati: Ngazvirege kutongoitika kwamuri, Ishe; izvi hazvingatongoitiki kwamuri.
23 Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said, ‘Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as a person does.’
Asi iye wakatendeuka akati kuna Petro: Ibva shure kwangu, Satani! Uri chigumbuso kwandiri; nokuti haurangariri zvinhu zvaMwari, asi zvinhu zvevanhu.
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross, and follow me.
Zvino Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake: Kana ani nani achida kuuya shure kwangu, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake, anditevere.
25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
Nokuti ani nani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo; asi ani nani anorasikirwa neupenyu hwake nekuda kwangu achahuwana.
26 What good will it do a person to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? Or what will a person give that is of equal value with his life?
Nokuti munhu anobatsirwei kana akawana nyika yese, akarasikirwa nemweya wake? Kana munhu achapei chive muripo wemweya wake?
27 For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu achauya mukubwinya kwaBaba vake nevatumwa vake, ipapo achapa mubairo umwe neumwe zvichienderana nebasa rake.
28 I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.’
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vamwe varipo kune vamire pano, vasingatongoraviri rufu kusvikira vaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya muushe hwake.
