Matthew 16
1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai na Asadukai magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũgeria na kũmwĩra amaringĩre kĩama kiumĩte igũrũ makĩone.
2 But Jesus answered, “In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.’
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa gwatuka, muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ nĩgũkaara-ĩ, tondũ igũrũ nĩ gũtune’.
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!
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 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.
Rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu na rwa ũtharia rũũragia rũringĩrwo kĩama, no gũtirĩ kĩama rũkũringĩrwo tiga kĩama kĩrĩa kĩa Jona.” Nake Jesũ akĩmatiga, agĩĩthiĩra.
5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
Rĩrĩa maaringire iria, arutwo ake magĩkorwo nĩmariganĩirwo nĩgũkuua mĩgate.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, “Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei, na mwĩhũgage ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai na Asadukai.”
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
Nao makĩaranĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Hihi nĩ tondũ tũtinoka na mĩgate.”
8 On noticing this, Jesus said, “Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
Nake Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meeranaga, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ a wĩtĩkio mũnini, nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwaranĩrie ũhoro wa kwaga mĩgate?
9 Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
Kaĩ mũtarĩ mwataũkĩrwo? Mũtingĩririkana mĩgate ĩtano ĩrĩa yarĩirwo nĩ andũ ngiri ithano, na nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
Kana mĩgate mũgwanja ĩrĩa yarĩirwo nĩ andũ ngiri inya, na nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie?
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.”
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 had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against 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 On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – “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 “Some say John the Baptist,” they answered, “Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say 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 “But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ na inyuĩ muugaga atĩa? Muugaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?”
16 To this 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 “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.
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩwe Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, nĩgũkorwo ndũguũrĩirio ũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũndũ, no nĩ Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
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)
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 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.”
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 charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Agĩcooka agĩkaania arutwo ake matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ atĩ we nĩwe Kristũ.
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.
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 But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. “Master,” he said, “please God that will never be your fate!”
Nake Petero akĩmũtwara keheri-inĩ, akĩmũkaania, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ũndũ ũcio ndũkanagũkore!”
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 person does.”
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 wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their 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 wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life 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 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?
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 is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
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 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.”
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka na ũthamaki wake.”
