Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees also and the Sadducees came, and, tempting, desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
AbaFarisi labaSadusi sebezile, bemlinga bamcela ukuthi abatshengise isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini.
2 He answered and said to them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the sky is red.
Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Kusihlwa lithi: Umkhathi muhle; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu;
3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to-day: for the sky is red and lowering. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?
lekuseni lithi: Umkhathi mubi lamuhla; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu sinyukubele. Bazenzisi, liyakwazi ukwehlukanisa umumo wesibhakabhaka; kodwa izibonakaliso zezikhathi lingeke yini?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign been to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
Isizukulwana esibi lesifebayo sidinga isibonakaliso; kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. Wasebatshiya, wahamba.
5 And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Sebefikile ngaphetsheya abafundi bakhe babekhohliwe ukuthatha izinkwa.
6 Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Nanzelelani liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have taken no bread.
Basebekhulumisana besithi: Ngoba singathathanga izinkwa.
8 [Which] when Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
UJesu esekwazi wathi kubo: Lina abokholo oluncinyane, kungani likhulumisana ngokuthi alithathanga izinkwa?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Kalikaqedisisi yini, futhi kalikhumbuli izinkwa ezinhlanu zenkulungwane ezinhlanu, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Futhi lezinkwa eziyisikhombisa zenkulungwane ezine, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Kaliqedisisi njani, ukuthi bekungemayelana lesinkwa ebengikukhuluma kini ukuthi liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi?
12 Then they understood that he did not caution them against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Basebeqedisisa ukuthi katshongo ukuthi baqaphele imvubelo yezinkwa, kodwa imfundiso yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
13 When Jesus came into the borders of Cesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
Kwathi uJesu esefikile kungxenye zeKesariya yeFiliphu wababuza abafundi bakhe, esithi: Abantu bathi, mina, iNdodana yomuntu, ngingubani?
14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Basebesithi: Abanye bathi: NguJohane uMbhabhathizi; labanye bathi: NguElija; labanye bathi: NguJeremiya, kumbe ngomunye wabaprofethi.
15 He saith to them, But who say ye that I am?
Wathi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
USimoni Petro wasephendula wathi: Wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
17 And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon-Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe, Simoni ndodana kaJona, ngoba inyama legazi kakukwembulelanga lokhu, kodwa uBaba osemazulwini.
18 And I say also to thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Lami-ke ngiyakutshela, ukuthi wena unguPetro; laphezu kwalelidwala ngizalakha ibandla lami, lamasango esihogo kawayikulehlula. (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
Futhi ngizakunika izihluthulelo zombuso wamazulu; njalo loba yini ozayibopha emhlabeni, izakuba ibotshiwe emazulwini; njalo loba yini ozayithukulula emhlabeni, izakuba ithukululwe emazulwini.
20 Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Wasebalayisisa abafundi ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ukuthi yena unguJesu onguKristu.
21 From that time forth Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Kusukela kulesosikhathi uJesu waqala ukubatshengisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi umele ukuya eJerusalema, njalo ahlupheke okunengi ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, abulawe, avuswe ngosuku lwesithathu.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
UPetro wasesiya laye eceleni waqala ukumkhuza esithi: Kakungabi kuwe, Nkosi; lokhu kakusoze kwenziwa kuwe.
23 But he turned, and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offense to me: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
Kodwa yena watshibilika wathi kuPetro: Suka ngemva kwami, Sathane, uyisikhubekiso kimi; ngoba kawucabangi izinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezabantu.
24 Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.
25 For whoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola;
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu nxa ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe? Kumbe umuntu uzanikani kube lihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe?
27 For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every man according to his works.
Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izakuza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye lengilosi zayo, khona izavuza ngulowo lalowo njengokwenza kwakhe.
28 Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze bayibone iNdodana yomuntu isiza embusweni wayo.
