Mateo 16
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Farisitɔwo kple Zadukitɔwo va be yewoado Yesu kpɔ; wobia tso esi be wòana dzesi yewo tso dziƒo.
AbaFarisi labaSadusi sebezile, bemlinga bamcela ukuthi abatshengise isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini.
2 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Miawo la, nenye be fiẽ ɖo la, miegblɔna be, ‘Yame akɔ, elabena yame biã,’
Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Kusihlwa lithi: Umkhathi muhle; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu;
3 eye le ŋdi la, miegblɔna be, ‘Egbe ahom atu, elabena akpɔ̃ ɖo, eye yame biã.’ Mienya ale si miaɖe dziƒo ƒe nɔnɔme gɔme, gake mietea ŋu dzea si ɣeyiɣiwo ƒe dzesiwo o.
lekuseni lithi: Umkhathi mubi lamuhla; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu sinyukubele. Bazenzisi, liyakwazi ukwehlukanisa umumo wesibhakabhaka; kodwa izibonakaliso zezikhathi lingeke yini?
4 Dzidzime vɔ̃ɖi, ahasitɔ sia le nukunu ƒe dzesi dim, ke womawɔ ɖeke na wo o, negbe Yona ƒe dzesi la ko.” Ale Yesu gblẽ wo ɖi, eye wòdzo.
Isizukulwana esibi lesifebayo sidinga isibonakaliso; kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. Wasebatshiya, wahamba.
5 Wogatso ƒu la yi ɖe go kemɛ dzi, ke nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo ŋku edzi le afi sia be, yewomeƒle nuɖuɖu ɖe asi o.
Sebefikile ngaphetsheya abafundi bakhe babekhohliwe ukuthatha izinkwa.
6 Yesu xlɔ̃ nu wo vevie gblɔ be, “Mikpɔ nyuie le Zadukitɔwo kple Farisitɔwo ƒe amɔʋãnu ŋuti.”
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Nanzelelani liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
7 Nusrɔ̃lawo bu be nuɖuɖu si yewometsɔ ɖe asi o la tae wògblɔ nya siawo ɖo.
Basebekhulumisana besithi: Ngoba singathathanga izinkwa.
8 Ke Yesu ya nya nu si ŋuti bum wole ale wògblɔ na wo be, “O! Mi xɔse ʋɛ tɔwo! Nu ka ta miele nu xam be yewometsɔ nuɖuɖu ɖe asi o ɖo?
UJesu esekwazi wathi kubo: Lina abokholo oluncinyane, kungani likhulumisana ngokuthi alithathanga izinkwa?
9 Nu ka ta miate ŋu ase nu gɔme o ɖo? Mieɖo ŋku edzi be menyi ame akpe atɔ̃ kple abolo atɔ̃, eye esi susɔ la yɔ kusiwo oa?
Kalikaqedisisi yini, futhi kalikhumbuli izinkwa ezinhlanu zenkulungwane ezinhlanu, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
10 Esi menyi ame akpe ene ɖe, mieɖo ŋku edzi kple abolo gbogbo si susɔ míelɔ ɖe kusi me o mahã?
Futhi lezinkwa eziyisikhombisa zenkulungwane ezine, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
11 Aleke wɔ miedze sii kpɔ be menye nuɖuɖu ŋutie mele nu ƒom le o mahã? Megale egblɔm na mi be, ‘Mikpɔ nyuie le Farisitɔwo kple Zadukitɔwo ƒe amɔʋãnu ŋuti.’”
Kaliqedisisi njani, ukuthi bekungemayelana lesinkwa ebengikukhuluma kini ukuthi liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi?
12 Ke azɔ la, wose nu si wòwɔnɛ be amɔʋãnu la gɔme, eyae nye alakpanu siwo Farisitɔwo kple Zadukitɔwo nɔa fiafiam la.
Basebeqedisisa ukuthi katshongo ukuthi baqaphele imvubelo yezinkwa, kodwa imfundiso yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
13 Esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va ɖo Kaisarea Filipi la, ebia eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Ame ka amewo le gbɔgblɔm be Amegbetɔ Vi la nye mahã?”
Kwathi uJesu esefikile kungxenye zeKesariya yeFiliphu wababuza abafundi bakhe, esithi: Abantu bathi, mina, iNdodana yomuntu, ngingubani?
14 Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame aɖewo gblɔ be, Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela nènye. Ɖewo be Eliyae nènye, bubuwo hã be Yeremia alo nyagblɔɖila xoxoawo dometɔ ɖekae nènye.”
Basebesithi: Abanye bathi: NguJohane uMbhabhathizi; labanye bathi: NguElija; labanye bathi: NguJeremiya, kumbe ngomunye wabaprofethi.
15 Azɔ ebia nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Ke miawo ya ɖe, ame ka miebu be menye?”
Wathi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani?
16 Simɔn Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wòe nye Kristo, Mawu gbagbe la ƒe Vi.”
USimoni Petro wasephendula wathi: Wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
17 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mawu neyra wò, Simɔn Yona ƒe vi, elabena Fofonye si le dziƒo la ŋutɔe ɖe nu sia fia wò, ke menye amegbetɔ aɖeke gbɔe wòtso o.
UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe, Simoni ndodana kaJona, ngoba inyama legazi kakukwembulelanga lokhu, kodwa uBaba osemazulwini.
18 Nye hã mele egblɔm na wò be, wòe nye Petro si gɔmee nye kpe, eye nenem kpe gbadza sia dzi maɖo nye hame la anyi ɖo, eye tsiẽƒe ƒe ŋusẽwo gɔ̃ hã mate ŋu aɖu edzi o. (Hadēs g86)
Lami-ke ngiyakutshela, ukuthi wena unguPetro; laphezu kwalelidwala ngizalakha ibandla lami, lamasango esihogo kawayikulehlula. (Hadēs g86)
19 Matsɔ dziƒofiaɖuƒe la ƒe safuiwo na wò, ale be ʋɔ siwo nàtu le anyigba dzi afii la, woanɔ tutu le dziƒo, eye ʋɔ siwo nàʋu le anyigba dzi la, woanɔ ʋuʋu le dziƒo.”
Futhi ngizakunika izihluthulelo zombuso wamazulu; njalo loba yini ozayibopha emhlabeni, izakuba ibotshiwe emazulwini; njalo loba yini ozayithukulula emhlabeni, izakuba ithukululwe emazulwini.
20 Ke Yesu de se na nusrɔ̃lawo vevie be womegagblɔe na ame aɖeke be yee nye Kristo la o.
Wasebalayisisa abafundi ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ukuthi yena unguJesu onguKristu.
21 Tso azɔ dzi heyi la, Yesu ƒoa nu na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo tso eƒe Yerusalem yiyi kple nu siwo adzɔ ɖe edzi le afi ma la ŋuti. Egblɔ na wo be, le Yerusalem la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo, agbalẽfialawo kple dumegãwo awɔ fu ye, eye woawu ye, gake yeagafɔ le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe.
Kusukela kulesosikhathi uJesu waqala ukubatshengisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi umele ukuya eJerusalema, njalo ahlupheke okunengi ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, abulawe, avuswe ngosuku lwesithathu.
22 Esi Yesu gblɔ nya sia vɔ la, Petro ɖe kpɔe, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mawu neɖe agba sia ɖa le dziwò; nu siawo madzɔ ɖe dziwò gbeɖe o!”
UPetro wasesiya laye eceleni waqala ukumkhuza esithi: Kakungabi kuwe, Nkosi; lokhu kakusoze kwenziwa kuwe.
23 Yesu trɔ ɖe Petro ŋuti gblɔ nɛ be, “Te ɖa le gbɔnye, Satana! Ènye nukikli le mɔ me nam, elabena Mawu me nuwo mele susu me na wò o, negbe amegbetɔwo tɔ ko. Èle mɔ vɔ̃ɖi aɖe trem nam. Èle nya sia gblɔm le amegbetɔ ƒe nukpɔkpɔ nu, ke menye le ale si Mawu ɖoe la nu o.”
Kodwa yena watshibilika wathi kuPetro: Suka ngemva kwami, Sathane, uyisikhubekiso kimi; ngoba kawucabangi izinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezabantu.
24 Esia megbe la, Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Ne ame aɖe di be yeadze yonyeme vavã la, ekema negbe nu le eɖokui gbɔ ne wòatsɔ eƒe atitsoga adze yonyeme,
UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.
25 elabena ame si lɔ̃a eƒe agbe, eye wòtia eƒe agbe yome le ŋutilã me la, abui; ke ame si ɖe asi le eƒe agbe ŋu faa ɖe tanye la, akpɔ agbe mavɔ.
Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola;
26 Viɖe ka wòanye na mi nenye be xexea me katã zu mia tɔ, gake agbe mavɔ la bu ɖe mi? Nu kae le xexe sia me si asɔ kple agbe mavɔ?
ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu nxa ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe? Kumbe umuntu uzanikani kube lihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe?
27 Nye Amegbetɔ Vi la mava kple nye dɔlawo le Fofonye ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me, eye madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame sia ame ɖe eƒe nuwɔnawo nu.
Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izakuza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye lengilosi zayo, khona izavuza ngulowo lalowo njengokwenza kwakhe.
28 “Vavã mele egblɔm na mi bena, mi ame siwo le tsitre le afi sia la dometɔ aɖewo anɔ agbe, akpɔm mava kple nye mawufiaɖuƒe la.”
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze bayibone iNdodana yomuntu isiza embusweni wayo.
