Matthew 16
1 And, the Pharisees and Sadducees coming near, putting him to the test, requested him, a sign out of the heaven, to shew unto them.
Da koro bi, Farisifo ne Sadukifo baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsɔɔ no hwɛɛ wɔ frɛ a ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no ho. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se ɔnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne bi a efi ɔsoro nkyerɛ wɔn.
2 But, he, answering said unto them— When evening cometh ye say, Fair! for fiery is the heaven;
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Munim wim nsakrae ho nkyerɛase. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ, na wim yɛ kɔkɔɔ a, moka se ɔkyena wim bɛtew.
3 And at morn, To-day, a storm! for fiery, and yet sad, is the heaven. The face of the heaven indeed, ye learn to distinguish, —but, the signs of the times, ye cannot.
Sɛ edu anɔpa na wim yɛ kɔɔ a, moka se wim rentew da mu no nyinaa. Nanso muntumi nkyerɛ mmere mu nsɛnkyerɛnne no ase.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek after, and, a sign, will not be given it, —save the sign of Jonah. And, leaving them behind, he departed.
Saa ɔman nnebɔneyɛfo a wonnye hwee nni yi hwehwɛ sɛ wobehu ɔsoro nsɛnkyerɛnne bi, nanso wɔrenhu nsɛnkyerɛnne foforo biara ka anwonwade a woyi kyerɛɛ Yona no ho.” Yesu kaa saa wiee no, ogyaw wɔn hɔ kɔe.
5 And the disciples coming, to the other side, had forgotten to take loaves.
Asuafo no twa kɔɔ asuogya nohɔ no, wɔkae se anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa aduan.
6 And, Jesus, said unto them—Mind! and beware, of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye wɔ Farisifo ne Sadukifo nyaatwom a ɛte sɛ mmɔkaw no ho.”
7 And, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying—Because, loaves, we took not.
Asuafo no susuw sɛ gyama wonkura aduan biara no nti na Yesu kaa saa.
8 And, observing it, Jesus said—Why are ye deliberating among yourselves, ye little-of-faith! because, loaves, ye have not?
Yesu huu nea wodwinnwen no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo a mo gyidi sua! Adɛn na ɛhaw mo sɛ moamfa aduan?
9 Not yet, perceive ye, neither remember, —The five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye received?
Enti ebesi nnɛ monte ase ana? Mo werɛ afi brodo anum a mibubuu mu maa nnipa mpem anum no ne ase mporoporowa kɛntɛn a ɛkae no?
10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many hampers ye received?
Mo werɛ asan afi brodo ason a mede maa nnipa mpem anan ne nea ɛkae no?
11 How is it ye perceive not, that, not concerning loaves, spake I unto you, —but beware of the leaven, of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
Adɛn nti na modwene sɛ aduan ho asɛm na mereka akyerɛ mo? Meresan aka bio sɛ, ‘Monhwɛ mo ho yiye wɔ Farisifo ne Sadukifo mmɔkaw ho.’”
12 Then, understood they that he did not bid them beware of [the] leaven [of loaves] but of, the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Afei asuafo no tee nea ɔkae no ase sɛ, Farisifo ne Sadukifo mmɔkaw ho asɛm a ɔreka akyerɛ no yɛ Farisifo ne Sadukifo nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne bi no ho asɛm na ɔreka.
13 And, Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea of Philip, began questioning his disciples, saying—Who are men saying that, the Son of Man, is?
Bere a Yesu baa Kaesarea Filipi fam no, obisaa nʼasuafo no se “Nnipa ka se Onipa Ba no ne hena?”
14 And, they, said—Some, indeed, John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah, —but, others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Wobuaa no se, “Ebinom se wone Yohane Osuboni. Ebinom nso se Elia. Afoforo nso se wone Yeremia anaa adiyifo no mu baako.”
15 He saith unto them—But who say, ye, that I am?
Afei Yesu bisaa wɔn se “Na mo nso, muse mene hena?”
16 And, Simon Peter, answering, said—Thou, art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Simon Petro buaa no se, “Wone Kristo no, Onyankopɔn Teasefo no Ba no!”
17 And Jesus, answering, said to him—Happy, art thou, Simon Bar-yona, —because, flesh and blood, revealed it not unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nhyira ne wo, Yona ba Simon. Efisɛ ɛnyɛ onipa na oyii eyi kyerɛɛ wo, na mmom ɛyɛ mʼAgya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no.
18 And, I also, unto thee, say—Thou, art Peter, —and, upon this rock, will I build my assembly, and, the gates of hades, shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Wone Petro, Ɔbotan, na ɔbotan yi so na mede mʼasafo besi, na tumi a ɛwɔ ɔbonsam gya mu no rentumi mmubu no da. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give thee, the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, —and, whatsoever thou shalt bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens, and, whatsoever thou shalt loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens.
Mede Ɔsoro Ahenni no safe bɛma wo, na ɔpon biara a wobɛto mu wɔ asase so no, wɔbɛto mu wɔ ɔsoro; na ɔpon biara a wubebue wɔ asase so no, wobebue wɔ ɔsoro!”
20 Then, straitly charged he the disciples, lest, to any man, they should say—He, is, the Christ.
Afei Yesu bɔɔ nʼasuafo no ano se wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no.
21 From that time, began Jesus Christ to be pointing out to his disciples that he must needs, into Jerusalem, go away, and, many things, suffer, from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, —and on, the third day, arise.
Efi saa bere no, Yesu fii ase kyerɛkyerɛɛ ɔkɔ a ɔbɛkɔ Yerusalem, ne amane a obehu wɔ Yudafo mpanyin, asɔfo mpanyin ne kyerɛwfo ne akyerɛkyerɛfo no nsam na wɔakum no, na nnansa so no wanyan no mu pefee kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no.
22 And, taking him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying—Mercy on thee Lord! In nowise, shall, this, befall thee.
Petro frɛɛ Yesu kɔɔ nkyɛn na ɔkaa nʼanim se, “Adɛn nti na woka asɛm a ɛte saa! Onyame mpa ngu! Nea woreka yi remma wo so da!”
23 But, he, turning, said to Peter—Withdraw behind me, Satan! A snare, art thou of mine, because thou art not regarding the things of God, but the things of men.
Yesu dan ne ho kaa Petro anim se, “Ɔbonsam, fi me so! Woyɛ hintidua kɛse ma me. Wudwen nnipa adwene na ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn de.”
24 Then, Jesus said unto his disciples—If any one intendeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me;
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi a, ɔmpa ne ho akyi, na ɔmma nʼasennua so, na onni mʼakyi.
25 For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it, —but, whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, shall find it.
Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ogye ne kra nkwa no, ebefi ne nsa, na obiara a me nti, ne kra befi ne nsa no, ne nsa bɛsan aka.
26 For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life?
Na sɛ onipa nya wiase yi mu nneɛma nyinaa na ɔhwere ne kra a, mfaso bɛn na obenya? Dɛn na onipa betumi de asi ne kra anan mu?
27 For the Son of Man is destined to be coming, in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, —and, then, will he give back unto each one, according to his practice.
Na me, Onipa Ba no, mɛba wɔ mʼagya anuonyam mu a mʼabɔfo ka me ho na mabebu obiara nneyɛe ho atɛn.
28 Verily, I say unto you—There are some of those, here standing, who, indeed, shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the Son of Man, coming in his kingdom.
“Nokware mise mo sɛ: Mo mu bi renwu kosi sɛ mubehu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔreba nʼahenni mu.”
