Matthew 16
1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
Awo Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo ne bajja eri Yesu okumugezesa nga bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu.
2 But Jesus answered, “In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.’
Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Obudde bwe buwungeera mugamba nti, obudde bujja kuba bulungi kubanga eggulu limyuse nnyo.
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!
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 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.
Mmwe ab’omulembe omwonoonefu era omwenzi musaba akabonero naye temuliweebwa kabonero okuggyako aka Yona.” Yesu n’abaviira n’agenda.
5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
Abayigirizwa bwe baasomoka okuva emitala w’eri ne beerabira okuleeta emigaati.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, “Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa ky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.”
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
Naye Abayigirizwa ne boogeraganya bokka ne bokka nti, “Ayogedde bw’atyo kubanga tetwaleese migaati.”
8 On noticing this, Jesus said, “Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe abalina okukkiriza okutono lwaki mweraliikirira nga mugamba nti, ‘temulina mmere?’
9 Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
Era temunnategeera wadde okujjukira emigaati etaano abantu enkumi ettaano gye baalya, n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
Era n’emigaati omusanvu abantu enkumi ennya gye baalya n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo?
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.”
Kale lwaki temutegeera nti mbadde ssoogera ku migaati? Naye mwekuume ekizimbulukusa eky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.”
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.
Ne balyoka bategeera nti yali tayogera ku kizimbulukusa kya migaati naye yali ayogera ku njigiriza y’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.
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?”
Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka mu kitundu kya Kayisaliya ekya Firipo n’abuuza abayigirizwa be nti, “Abantu Omwana w’Omuntu bagamba nti ye 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.”
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala nti Eriya, n’abalala nti Yeremiya oba omu ku bannabbi.”
15 “But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mmwe mundowooza kuba ani?”
16 To this 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 “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.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olina omukisa Simooni, omwana wa Yona, kubanga ekyo Kitange ali mu ggulu y’akikubikkulidde, so tokiggye mu bantu.
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)
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 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.”
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 charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Awo n’akuutira abayigirizwa be baleme kubuulirako muntu n’omu nti Ye Kristo.
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.
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 But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. “Master,” he said, “please God that will never be your fate!”
Peetero n’amuzza ebbali n’atandika okumunenya ng’amugamba nti, “Katonda akulage ekisa Mukama waffe. Bino tebirikutuukako.”
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.”
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 wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their 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 wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
Kubanga buli agezaako okuwonya obulamu bwe alibufiirwa, oyo alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibuwonya.
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?
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 is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okujja mu kitiibwa kya Kitange ne bamalayika be alyoke asasule buli muntu ng’ebikolwa bye bwe byali.
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.”
“Ddala ddala mbagamba nti ku mmwe abali wano kuliko abatalirega ku kufa okutuusa lwe baliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajja n’obwakabaka bwe.”
