< Matthew 16 >

1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Him; and, to make trial of Him, they asked Him to show them a sign in the sky.
Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducees rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Vaan lamkah miknoek te amih tueng ham a dawt uh tih a loepdak uh.
2 He replied, "In the evening you say, 'It will be fine weather, for the sky is red;'
Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Hlaem a pha vaengah vaan ke khopang a ling dongah Khothen ni na ti uh.
3 and in the morning, 'It will be rough weather to-day, for the sky is red and murky.' You learn how to distinguish the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of the times you cannot.
Vaan ke Mincang ah hmuep tih a ling dongah, Tihnin ah khonal ni na ti uh. Vaan kah a hmuethma ngawn tah boelhkhoeh ham na ming uh dae a tuetang kah miknoek tah na ming uh thai moenih.
4 A wicked and faithless generation are eager for a sign; but none shall be given to them except the sign of Jonah." and He left them and went away.
Boethae neh samphaih cadil loh miknoek a kuek, tedae Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek m'pae mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih te a hnoo tih vik cet.
5 When the disciples arrived at the other side of the Lake, they found that they had forgotten to bring any bread;
Tedae rhalvangan la a caeh uh vaengah hnukbang rhoek loh buh khuen ham a hnilh uh.
6 and when Jesus said to them, "See to it: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,"
Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah tolrhu ke hmat uh lamtah ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
7 they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have not brought any bread."
Tedae amih tah amamih khuiah thui uh thae tih, “Buh n'khuen uh pawt tih,” a ti uh.
8 Jesus perceived this and said, "Why are you reasoning among yourselves, you men of little faith, because you have no bread?
Tedae Jesuh loh a ming vaengah, “Uepvawt rhoek aw, balae tih buh na khueh uh pawt te namamih khuiah na thuingong uh?
9 Do you not yet understand? nor even remember the 5,000 and the five loaves, and how many basketfuls you carried away,
Na yakming uh hlan a? Vaidam panga te thawngnga cung tih voh dongah muep na phueih te na poek uh moenih a?
10 nor the 4,000 and the seven loaves, and how many hampers you carried away?
Vaidam parhih te thawngli loh cung uh tih voh dongah muep na khuen uh moenih a?
11 How is it you do not understand that it was not about bread that I spoke to you? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Balae tih na yakming uh pawh, Nangmih taengah buh kawng te ka thui moenih. Tedae Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah tolrhu mah ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
12 Then they perceived that He had not warned them against bread-yeast, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Vaidam khuikah tolrhu ngaithuen ham a thui moenih, Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah thuituennah ni tila a hmuhming uh.
13 When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" He asked.
Jesuh tah Kaisarea Philipi pingpang la a pawk vaengah a hnukbang rhoek te a dawt tih, “Hlang rhoek loh Hlang Capa he ulae a ti uh?” a ti nah.
14 "Some say John the Baptist," they replied; "others Elijah; others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets."
Te vaengah amih loh, “A ngen loh tuinuem Johan, pakhat loh Elijah, a tloe rhoek loh Jeremiah neh tonghma khat khat a ti uh,” a ti na uh.
15 "But you, who do you say that I am?" He asked again.
Amih te khaw, “Tedae nangmih loh, kai he ulae na ti uh?” a ti nah.
16 "You," replied Simon Peter, "are the Christ, the Son of the ever-living God."
Simon Peter loh a doo tih, “Nang tah aka hing Pathen Capa Khrih ni,” a ti nah.
17 "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah," said Jesus; "for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih “Simon Barjonah tah, yoethen la na om coeng. Pumsa neh thii nen pawt tih vaan kah a Pa loh nang taengah a phoe coeng.
18 And I declare to you that you are Peter, and that upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the might of Hades shall not triumph over it. (Hadēs g86)
Te dongah kai loh nang te, “Nang tah Peter ni. Te dongah hekah lungpang soah hlangboel te ka thoh vetih saelkhui vongka loh noeng mahpawh. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of the Heavens; and whatever you bind on earth shall remain bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall remain loosed in Heaven."
Vaan ram kah cabi te nang taengah kan paek ni. Te dongah diklai ah na pin te tah vaan ah pin la om ni. Tedae diklai ah na hlam te tah vaan ah hlam la om ni,’ ka ti,” a ti nah.
20 Then He urged His disciples to tell no one that He was the Christ.
Te phoeiah, 'Jesuh tah Khrih ni,’ tila thui pawt ham hnukbang te ol a paek.
21 From this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again.
Te vaeng lamloh Jesuh tah Jerusalem la cet tih a ham rhoek, khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek kah nganboh muep yook ham neh, a ngawn phoeikah hnin thum ah a thoh ham a kuek te a hnukbang rhoek taengah koe a thuicaih.
22 Then Peter took Him aside and began taking Him to task. "Master," he said, "God forbid; this will not be your lot."
Te vaengah Peter loh a sim doela koe a mawt tih, “Boeipa nang te poekpoei rhola a ti mai mako, he tah nang taengah om loengloeng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
23 But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Adversary; you are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."
Tedae Peter te a mael thil tih, “Satan, kai hnukla nong, kai ham thangkui la na om. Na poek te Pathen kah hno pawt tih hlang kah hno ni,” a ti nah.
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If any one desires to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
Te phoeiah Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek te, “Khat khat long ni ka hnukah lo ham a ngaih atah, amah te huek uh saeh lamtah a thinglam a koh doeah kai m'vai saeh.
25 For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it.
A hinglu te khang ham aka ngaih tah poci ni. Tedae kai kongah a hinglu aka hlong tah te te a dang ni.
26 Why, what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give to buy back his life?
Hlang loh Diklai he boeih a pang dae a hinglu a hlong atah balae a hoeikhang eh? Hlang loh amah kah hinglu ham balae tlansum la a phai eh?
27 For the Son of Man is soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to his actions.
Te dongah Hlang Capa loh a napa kah thangpomnah neh, amah kah puencawn rhoek ham pawk puei vaengah hlang te a khoboe bangla rhip a thuung van ni.
28 I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom."
Te phoeiah amih te “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui hekah aka pai khuiah hlangvang om. Amih loh thaomnah neh aka pai Pathen ram te a ming uh hlan atah dueknah he ten uh mueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
