Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
ததா³நீம்’ பி²ரூஸி²ந: ஸிதூ³கிநஸ்²சாக³த்ய தம்’ பரீக்ஷிதும்’ நப⁴மீயம்’ கிஞ்சந லக்ஷ்ம த³ர்ஸ²யிதும்’ தஸ்மை நிவேத³யாமாஸு: |
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
தத: ஸ உக்தவாந், ஸந்த்⁴யாயாம்’ நப⁴ஸோ ரக்தத்வாத்³ யூயம்’ வத³த², ஸ்²வோ நிர்ம்மலம்’ தி³நம்’ ப⁴விஷ்யதி;
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].
ப்ராத: காலே ச நப⁴ஸோ ரக்தத்வாத் மலிநத்வாஞ்ச வத³த², ஜ²ஞ்ப்⁴ஸ²த்³ய ப⁴விஷ்யதி| ஹே கபடிநோ யதி³ யூயம் அந்தரீக்ஷஸ்ய லக்ஷ்ம போ³த்³து⁴ம்’ ஸ²க்நுத², தர்ஹி காலஸ்யைதஸ்ய லக்ஷ்ம கத²ம்’ போ³த்³து⁴ம்’ ந ஸ²க்நுத²?
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].
ஏதத்காலஸ்ய து³ஷ்டோ வ்யபி⁴சாரீ ச வம்’ஸோ² லக்ஷ்ம க³வேஷயதி, கிந்து யூநஸோ ப⁴விஷ்யத்³வாதி³நோ லக்ஷ்ம விநாந்யத் கிமபி லக்ஷ்ம தாந் ந த³ர்ஸ²யிய்யதே| ததா³நீம்’ ஸ தாந் விஹாய ப்ரதஸ்தே²|
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
அநந்தரமந்யபாரக³மநகாலே தஸ்ய ஸி²ஷ்யா: பூபமாநேதும்’ விஸ்ம்ரு’தவந்த: |
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
யீஸு²ஸ்தாநவாதீ³த், யூயம்’ பி²ரூஸி²நாம்’ ஸிதூ³கிநாஞ்ச கிண்வம்’ ப்ரதி ஸாவதா⁴நா: ஸதர்காஸ்²ச ப⁴வத|
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!”
தேந தே பரஸ்பரம்’ விவிச்ய கத²யிதுமாரேபி⁴ரே, வயம்’ பூபாநாநேதும்’ விஸ்ம்ரு’தவந்த ஏதத்காரணாத்³ இதி கத²யதி|
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].
கிந்து யீஸு²ஸ்தத்³விஜ்ஞாய தாநவோசத், ஹே ஸ்தோகவிஸ்²வாஸிநோ யூயம்’ பூபாநாநயநமதி⁴ குத: பரஸ்பரமேதத்³ விவிம்’க்ய?
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]!
யுஷ்மாபி⁴: கிமத்³யாபி ந ஜ்ஞாயதே? பஞ்சபி⁴: பூபை: பஞ்சஸஹஸ்ரபுருஷேஷு போ⁴ஜிதேஷு ப⁴க்ஷ்யோச்சி²ஷ்டபூர்ணாந் கதி ட³லகாந் ஸமக்³ரு’ஹ்லீதம்’;
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]
ததா² ஸப்தபி⁴: பூபைஸ்²சது: ஸஹஸ்ரபுருஷேஷு பே⁴ஜிதேஷு கதி ட³லகாந் ஸமக்³ரு’ஹ்லீத, தத் கிம்’ யுஷ்மாபி⁴ர்ந ஸ்மர்ய்யதே?
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].”
தஸ்மாத் பி²ரூஸி²நாம்’ ஸிதூ³கிநாஞ்ச கிண்வம்’ ப்ரதி ஸாவதா⁴நாஸ்திஷ்ட²த, கதா²மிமாம் அஹம்’ பூபாநதி⁴ நாகத²யம்’, ஏதத்³ யூயம்’ குதோ ந பு³த்⁴யத்⁴வே?
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.
ததா³நீம்’ பூபகிண்வம்’ ப்ரதி ஸாவதா⁴நாஸ்திஷ்ட²தேதி நோக்த்வா பி²ரூஸி²நாம்’ ஸிதூ³கிநாஞ்ச உபதே³ஸ²ம்’ ப்ரதி ஸாவதா⁴நாஸ்திஷ்ட²தேதி கதி²தவாந், இதி தைரபோ³தி⁴|
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?”
அபரஞ்ச யீஸு²: கைஸரியா-பி²லிபிப்ரதே³ஸ²மாக³த்ய ஸி²ஷ்யாந் அப்ரு’ச்ச²த், யோ(அ)ஹம்’ மநுஜஸுத: ஸோ(அ)ஹம்’ க: ? லோகைரஹம்’ கிமுச்யே?
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].”
ததா³நீம்’ தே கதி²தவந்த: , கேசித்³ வத³ந்தி த்வம்’ மஜ்ஜயிதா யோஹந், கேசித்³வத³ந்தி, த்வம் ஏலிய: , கேசிச்ச வத³ந்தி, த்வம்’ யிரிமியோ வா கஸ்²சித்³ ப⁴விஷ்யத்³வாதீ³தி|
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
பஸ்²சாத் ஸ தாந் பப்ரச்ச², யூயம்’ மாம்’ கம்’ வத³த²? தத: ஸி²மோந் பிதர உவாச,
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
த்வமமரேஸ்²வரஸ்யாபி⁴ஷிக்தபுத்ர: |
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].
ததோ யீஸு²: கதி²தவாந், ஹே யூநஸ: புத்ர ஸி²மோந் த்வம்’ த⁴ந்ய: ; யத: கோபி அநுஜஸ்த்வய்யேதஜ்ஜ்ஞாநம்’ நோத³பாத³யத், கிந்து மம ஸ்வர்க³ஸ்ய: பிதோத³பாத³யத்|
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)
அதோ(அ)ஹம்’ த்வாம்’ வதா³மி, த்வம்’ பிதர: (ப்ரஸ்தர: ) அஹஞ்ச தஸ்ய ப்ரஸ்தரஸ்யோபரி ஸ்வமண்ட³லீம்’ நிர்ம்மாஸ்யாமி, தேந நிரயோ ப³லாத் தாம்’ பராஜேதும்’ ந ஸ²க்ஷ்யதி| (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.”
அஹம்’ துப்⁴யம்’ ஸ்வர்கீ³யராஜ்யஸ்ய குஞ்ஜிகாம்’ தா³ஸ்யாமி, தேந யத் கிஞ்சந த்வம்’ ப்ரு’தி²வ்யாம்’ ப⁴ம்’த்ஸ்யஸி தத்ஸ்வர்கே³ ப⁴ம்’த்ஸ்யதே, யச்ச கிஞ்சந மஹ்யாம்’ மோக்ஷ்யஸி தத் ஸ்வர்கே³ மோக்ஷ்யதே|
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
பஸ்²சாத் ஸ ஸி²ஷ்யாநாதி³ஸ²த், அஹமபி⁴ஷிக்தோ யீஸு²ரிதி கதா²ம்’ கஸ்மைசித³பி யூயம்’ மா கத²யத|
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.
அந்யஞ்ச யிரூஸா²லம்நக³ரம்’ க³த்வா ப்ராசீநலோகேப்⁴ய: ப்ரதா⁴நயாஜகேப்⁴ய உபாத்⁴யாயேப்⁴யஸ்²ச ப³ஹுது³: க²போ⁴க³ஸ்தை ர்ஹதத்வம்’ த்ரு’தீயதி³நே புநருத்தா²நஞ்ச மமாவஸ்²யகம் ஏதா: கதா² யீஸு²ஸ்தத்காலமாரப்⁴ய ஸி²ஷ்யாந் ஜ்ஞாபயிதும் ஆரப்³த⁴வாந்|
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!”
ததா³நீம்’ பிதரஸ்தஸ்ய கரம்’ க்⁴ரு’த்வா தர்ஜயித்வா கத²யிதுமாரப்³த⁴வாந், ஹே ப்ரபோ⁴, தத் த்வத்தோ தூ³ரம்’ யாது, த்வாம்’ ப்ரதி கதா³பி ந க⁴டிஷ்யதே|
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]!”
கிந்து ஸ வத³நம்’ பராவர்த்ய பிதரம்’ ஜகா³த³, ஹே விக்⁴நகாரிந், மத்ஸம்முகா²த்³ தூ³ரீப⁴வ, த்வம்’ மாம்’ பா³த⁴ஸே, ஈஸ்²வரீயகார்ய்யாத் மாநுஷீயகார்ய்யம்’ துப்⁴யம்’ ரோசதே|
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].
அநந்தரம்’ யீஸு²: ஸ்வீயஸி²ஷ்யாந் உக்தவாந் ய: கஸ்²சித் மம பஸ்²சாத்³கா³மீ ப⁴விதும் இச்ச²தி, ஸ ஸ்வம்’ தா³ம்யது, ததா² ஸ்வக்ருஸ²ம்’ க்³ரு’ஹ்லந் மத்பஸ்²சாதா³யாது|
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].
யதோ ய: ப்ராணாந் ரக்ஷிதுமிச்ச²தி, ஸ தாந் ஹாரயிஷ்யதி, கிந்து யோ மத³ர்த²ம்’ நிஜப்ராணாந் ஹாரயதி, ஸ தாந் ப்ராப்ஸ்யதி|
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]
மாநுஷோ யதி³ ஸர்வ்வம்’ ஜக³த் லப⁴தே நிஜப்ரணாந் ஹாரயதி, தர்ஹி தஸ்ய கோ லாப⁴: ? மநுஜோ நிஜப்ராணாநாம்’ விநிமயேந வா கிம்’ தா³தும்’ ஸ²க்நோதி?
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].

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!”
