< Matthew 16 >

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from the sky.
Àwọn Farisi àti àwọn Sadusi wá láti dán Jesu wò. Wọ́n ní kí ó fi àmì ńlá kan hàn àwọn ní ojú ọ̀run.
2 But he answered and said to them, “When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
Ó dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Nígbà tí ó bá di àṣálẹ́, ẹ ó sọ pé, ‘Ìbá dára kí ojú ọ̀run pọ́n.’
3 When it is morning, you say, 'It will be foul weather, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
Ní òwúrọ̀, ‘Ẹ̀yin yóò wí pé ọjọ́ kì yóò dára lónìí, nítorí ti ojú ọ̀run pọ́n, ó sì ṣú dẹ̀dẹ̀,’ ẹ̀yin àgàbàgebè, ẹ̀yin le sọ àmì ojú ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò le mọ àmì àwọn àkókò wọ̀nyí.
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then Jesus left them and went away.
Ìran búburú aláìgbàgbọ́ yìí ń béèrè àmì àjèjì mélòó kàn ni ojú sánmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n a kí yóò fún ẹnìkankan ní àmì bí kò ṣe àmì Jona.” Nígbà náà ni Jesu fi wọ́n sílẹ̀, ó sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ.
5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé apá kejì adágún, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ṣàkíyèsí pé wọ́n ti gbàgbé láti mú àkàrà kankan lọ́wọ́.
6 Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Jesu sì kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ kíyèsára, ẹ sì ṣọ́ra, ní ti ìwúkàrà àwọn Farisi àti àwọn Sadusi.”
7 The disciples reasoned among themselves and said, “It is because we took no bread.”
Wọ́n ń sọ eléyìí ni àárín ara wọn wí pé, “Nítorí tí àwa kò mú àkàrà lọ́wọ́ ni.”
8 Jesus was aware of this and said, “You of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves and say that it is because you have taken no bread?
Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ ohun ti wọ́n ń sọ, Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin onígbàgbọ́ kékeré, èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin ń dààmú ara yín pé ẹ̀yin kò mú oúnjẹ lọ́wọ́?
9 Do you not yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered up?
Tàbí ọ̀rọ̀ kò yé yín di ìsinsin yìí? Ẹ̀yin kò rántí pé mo bọ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ènìyàn pẹ̀lú ìṣù àkàrà márùn-ún àti iye agbọ̀n tí ẹ kójọ bí àjẹkù?
10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Ẹ kò sì tún rántí ìṣù méje tí mo fi bọ́ ẹgbàajì ènìyàn àti iye agbọ̀n tí ẹ̀yín kójọ?
11 How is it that you do not understand that I was not speaking to you about bread? Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Èéha ṣe tí kò fi yé yín pé èmi kò sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ti àkàrà? Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, mo wí fún yín, ẹ ṣọ́ra fún ìwúkàrà àwọn Farisi àti ti Sadusi.”
12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to beware of yeast in bread, but to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Nígbà náà ni ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wáyé wọn pé, kì í ṣe nípa ti ìwúkàrà ní ó sọ wí pé kí wọ́n kíyèsára, bí kò ṣe tí ẹ̀kọ́ àwọn Farisi àti Sadusi.
13 Now when Jesus came to the regions near Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
Nígbà tí Jesu sì dé Kesarea-Filipi, ó bi àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Ta ni àwọn ènìyàn ń fi Ọmọ Ènìyàn pè?”
14 They said, “Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Àwọn kan ni Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi ni, àwọn mìíràn wí pé, Elijah ni, àwọn mìíràn wí pé, Jeremiah ni, tàbí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn wòlíì.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
“Ṣùgbọ́n ẹyin ń kọ?” Ó bi í léèrè pé, “Ta ni ẹ̀yin ń fi mi pè?”
16 Answering, Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Simoni Peteru dáhùn pé, “Ìwọ ni Kristi náà, Ọmọ Ọlọ́run alààyè.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Alábùkún fún ni ìwọ Simoni ọmọ Jona, nítorí ẹran-ara àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ kọ́ ló fi èyí hàn bí kò ṣe Baba mi tí ó ń bẹ ní ọ̀run.
18 I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. The gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Èmi wí fún ọ, ìwọ ni Peteru àti pé orí àpáta yìí ni èmi yóò kọ́ ìjọ mi lé, àti ẹnu-ọ̀nà ipò òkú kì yóò lè borí rẹ̀. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Èmi yóò fún ní àwọn kọ́kọ́rọ́ ìjọba Ọ̀run; ohun tí ìwọ bá dè ní ayé, òun ni a ó dè ní ọ̀run. Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá sì tú ní ayé yìí, a ó sì tú ní ọ̀run.”
20 Then Jesus commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was the Christ.
Nígbà náà ó kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé wọn kò gbọdọ̀ sọ fún ẹnikẹ́ni pé Òun ni Kristi náà.
21 From that time Jesus started to tell his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things at the hand of the elders and chief priests and scribes, be killed, and be raised back to life on the third day.
Láti ìgbà yìí lọ, Jesu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣàlàyé fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ kedere nípa lílọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti jẹ ọ̀pọ̀ ìyà lọ́wọ́ àwọn àgbàgbà, àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn akọ̀wé, kí a sì pa òun, àti ní ọjọ́ kẹta, kí ó sì jíǹde.
22 Then Peter took him aside and rebuked him, saying, “May this be far from you, Lord; may this never happen to you.”
Peteru mú Jesu sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ kan, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í bá a wí pé, “Kí a má rí i Olúwa! Èyí kì yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Ọ!”
23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you do not care for the things of God, but for the things of people.”
Jesu pa ojú dà, ó sì wí fún Peteru pé, “Kúrò lẹ́yìn mi, Satani! Ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ ni ìwọ jẹ́ fún mi; ìwọ kò ro ohun tí i ṣe ti Ọlọ́run, bí kò ṣe èyí ti ṣe ti ènìyàn.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fẹ́ tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, kí ó sẹ́ ara rẹ̀, kí ó sì gbé àgbélébùú rẹ̀, kí ó sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn.
25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fẹ́ gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ là, yóò sọ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ nù ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ nù nítorí mi, yóò rí i.
26 For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? What can a person give in exchange for his life?
Èrè kí ni ó jẹ́ fún ènìyàn bí ó bá jèrè gbogbo ayé yìí, tí ó sì sọ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ nù? Tàbí kí ni ènìyàn yóò fi dípò ẹ̀mí rẹ̀?
27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels. Then he will reward every person according to what he has done.
Nítorí Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò wá nínú ògo baba rẹ pẹ̀lú àwọn angẹli rẹ̀, nígbà náà ni yóò sì san án fún olúkúlùkù gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
28 Truly I say to you, there are some of you standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
“Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín. Ẹlòmíràn wà nínú àwọn tí ó wà níhìn-ín yìí, tí kì yóò ri ikú títí wọn ó fi rí Ọmọ Ènìyàn tí yóò máa bọ̀ ní ìjọba rẹ̀.”
