< Matthew 16 >

1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Farasinaw hoi Sadusinaw a tho awh teh kalvan hoi e mitnout kamnue sak hanlah a kâhei awh teh Bawipa hah a tanouk awh.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Bawipa ni ouk na dei awh e teh tangmin lah tâmai a rapam teh a paling navah kho kahawi han na ti awh.
3 [Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
Amom lah toteh tâmai akawi, bout a paling dawkvah kahlî ka tho han na ti awh. A laikathoutnaw nangmouh ni teh kalvan minhmai hah na kapek panuek awh. A tu e mitnoutnaw hatteh na kapek panuek awh hoeh.
4 [You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
Tami kahawilah kâsak e catounnaw, noutnae na hei awh navah profet Jonah e mitnoutnae hloilah alouke noutnae bangpatet e haiyah na sak pouh awh mahoeh atipouh teh, ahnimouh onae koehoi alouklah a cei.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Namran lah a cei awh toteh a hnukkâbangnaw ni vaiyei sin hane hah yout a pahnim awh.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Jisuh ni Farasinaw hoi Saddusinaw e ton hah kâhruetcuet nateh roun awh, atipouh.
7 Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
Maimouh ni vaiyei sin awh hoeh dawkvah hete lawk heh a dei telah a hnukkâbangnaw ni buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpankhai awh.
8 Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
Jisuh ni a panue dawkvah, yuemnae dawk tha kayoun e naw, vaiyei na sin awh hoeh e dawkvah na kâpankhai a vaw.
9 (You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
Vaiyei panga touh hah, tami 5,000 touh ni a ca awh teh tangthung nâyittouh maw kacawi, vaiyei sari touh hah tami 4,000 touh ni a ca teh, tangthung nâyittouh maw kacawi tie hah,
10 [Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
na pâkuem, na pouk awh laipalah, maw na o awh rah.
11 (You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
Farasinaw hoi Saddusinaw e ton hah kâhruetcuet awh, ka ti navah vaiyei heh ka dei ngai e nahoeh tie hah na thai panuek a laipalah bangtelamaw khuet na o a vaw atipouh.
12 Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Hat torei teh ton e vaiyei hah roun awh tie nahoeh. Farasinaw hoi Sadusinaw e cangkhainae hah roun awh, tinae doeh telah a hnukkâbangnaw ni a thai panuek awh.
13 When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
Kaisarea Filippi ram e kho buet touh dawk a pha awh toteh, Jisuh ni Kai heh taminaw ni api na ti a maw telah a hnukkâbangnaw hah a pacei.
14 We answered, “Some [people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
Tami tangawn ni Baptisma Jawhan; a tangawn ni Elijah; a tangawn ni Jeremiah, hoehpawiteh alouke profet buet buet touh doeh telah atipouh awh.
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Nangmouh ni hai Kai hah api na ti a maw telah a pacei.
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Simon Piter ni nang teh kahring e Cathut Capa, Khrih doeh atipouh.
17 Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
Hatnavah Jisuh ni Simon Barjonah, nang teh na yawhawi. Bangkongtetpawiteh hete hno teh thi hoi tak ni nang koe a pâpho e nahoeh, kalvan kho kaawm e a Pa ni a pâpho pouh e doeh.
18 I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
Nang koevah ka dei, nang teh Piter doeh. Hete lungsong dawkvah Kaie kawhmoun ka kangdue sak han. Hot teh duenae longkha ni hai tâ thai mahoeh. (Hadēs g86)
19 [Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
Kalvan uknaeram cabinaw teh nang koevah na poe han. Talai van na katek e pueng teh kalvan hai katek lah ao han. Talai van rathap lah kaawm e naw pueng teh kalvan hai rathap lah ao han, telah atipouh.
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Hahoi, Bawipa ni Kai teh Khrih doeh tie hah api koehai dei hoeh nahanelah a hnukkâbangnaw kâ a poe.
21 From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
Hahoi, Jisuh ni Jerusalem ka cei vaiteh kacuenaw, vaihma bawinaw hoi cakathutkungnaw e kut dawk rektapnae moi a khang hnukkhu a thei awh vaiteh apâthum hnin vah bout a thaw nahane kong hah a hnukkâbangnaw koe a dei pouh.
22 [Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
Hatnavah Piter ni Bawipa yue hanelah aloukcalah a kaw teh, nang dawk bawt nahan seh atipouh.
23 Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
Hahoi, Bawipa ni a kamlang sin teh Piter koe, nang Setan ka hnuk lah kâhnawnh. Nang teh kai hanlah payonnae lah na o atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh nang ni Cathut hoi ka kâkuen e hno dawk na lungthin pen laipalah tami hoi kâkuen e hno dawk lung na pen.
24 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Hattoteh Jisuh ni a hnukkâbangnaw koe apihai ka hnukkâbang han ka ngai e teh amahoima kâpahnawt vaiteh, amae thingpalam hrawm hoi ka hnuk kâbang naseh.
25 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed [because of being my disciples] will live [with God eternally].
Bangkongtetpawiteh apihai amae hringnae ka rungngang e teh hringnae a sung han. Kai kecu dawk hringnae ka sung e teh hringnae a hmu han.
26 People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
Tami ni talaivan abuemlah koung ka coe nakunghai muitha hringnae sung pawiteh bangmaw aphu kaawm. A hringnae hah bang hno hoi maw a ratang thai han.
27 [Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
Tami Capa teh Apa e bawilennae hoi kalvantaminaw hoi a tho han. Hattoteh tami pueng ni a tawk e phu a hmu awh han.
28 Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Tami Capa amae uknaeram dawk a kum toteh hi kangdout e tami tangawn duenae kâhmo mahoeh rah, atipouh.
