Mathayo 16
1 Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai na Asadukai magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũgeria na kũmwĩra amaringĩre kĩama kiumĩte igũrũ makĩone.
Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
2 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa gwatuka, muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ nĩgũkaara-ĩ, tondũ igũrũ nĩ gũtune’.
But Jesus answered, “In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.’
3 Ningĩ rũciinĩ muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũmũthĩ nĩgũkũgĩa kĩhuhũkanio, tondũ igũrũ nĩ gũtune na gũgathimba.’ Nĩmũũĩ gũtaũra ũrĩa igũrũ rĩtariĩ, no mũtingĩhota gũtaũra imenyithia cia mahinda maya tũrĩ.
But in the morning you say ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.’ You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!
4 Rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu na rwa ũtharia rũũragia rũringĩrwo kĩama, no gũtirĩ kĩama rũkũringĩrwo tiga kĩama kĩrĩa kĩa Jona.” Nake Jesũ akĩmatiga, agĩĩthiĩra.
A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and went away.
5 Rĩrĩa maaringire iria, arutwo ake magĩkorwo nĩmariganĩirwo nĩgũkuua mĩgate.
Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
6 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei, na mwĩhũgage ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai na Asadukai.”
Presently Jesus said to them, “Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 Nao makĩaranĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Hihi nĩ tondũ tũtinoka na mĩgate.”
But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
8 Nake Jesũ aamenya ũrĩa meeranaga, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ a wĩtĩkio mũnini, nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwaranĩrie ũhoro wa kwaga mĩgate?
On noticing this, Jesus said, “Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
9 Kaĩ mũtarĩ mwataũkĩrwo? Mũtingĩririkana mĩgate ĩtano ĩrĩa yarĩirwo nĩ andũ ngiri ithano, na nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie?
Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
10 Kana mĩgate mũgwanja ĩrĩa yarĩirwo nĩ andũ ngiri inya, na nĩ ciondo ciigana muonganirie?
Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
11 Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragiria mũmenye atĩ ndikwaragia ũhoro wa mĩgate? No mwĩhũgagei ndawa ĩyo ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai na Asadukai.”
How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 Hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩmenya atĩ ndaameeraga mehũũge nĩ ũndũ wa ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate, no nĩ memenyagĩrĩre ũrutani wa Afarisai na Asadukai.
Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aakinyire rũgongo rwa Kaisarea-Filipi, nĩoririe arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nũũ?”
On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amwe moigaga atĩ nĩwe Johana Mũbatithania; angĩ makoiga nĩwe Elija, o na angĩ makoiga nĩwe Jeremia, kana ũmwe wa anabii.”
“Some say John the Baptist,” they answered, “Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15 Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ na inyuĩ muugaga atĩa? Muugaga niĩ nĩ niĩ ũ?”
“But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
16 Simoni Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Kristũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai ũrĩa wĩ muoyo.”
To this Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩwe Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, nĩgũkorwo ndũguũrĩirio ũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũndũ, no nĩ Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
“Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,” Jesus replied. “For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Na niĩ ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ, wee nĩwe Petero, na igũrũ rĩa ihiga rĩrĩ nĩngaka kanitha wakwa, nacio ihingo cia kwa ngoma itikaũtooria. (Hadēs g86)
Yes, and I say to you, your name is ‘Peter’ – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Nĩngakũnengera cabi cia ũthamaki wa igũrũ; na kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkooha gũkũ thĩ nĩgĩkoohwo igũrũ, na kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkoohora gũkũ thĩ, nĩgĩkoohorwo igũrũ.”
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.”
20 Agĩcooka agĩkaania arutwo ake matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ atĩ we nĩwe Kristũ.
Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
21 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria gũtaarĩria arutwo ake atĩ no nginya athiĩ Jerusalemu, na athĩĩnio mũno nĩ athuuri, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho, na atĩ no nginya ooragwo, na thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ ariũke.
At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
22 Nake Petero akĩmũtwara keheri-inĩ, akĩmũkaania, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ũndũ ũcio ndũkanagũkore!”
But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. “Master,” he said, “please God that will never be your fate!”
23 Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũrĩra Petero, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cooka thuutha wakwa, Shaitani! Wee wĩ mũhĩnga harĩ niĩ; wee ndwĩciiragia maũndũ moimĩte kũrĩ Ngai, tiga maũndũ moimĩte kũrĩ andũ.”
Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said, “Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as person does.”
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩenda kũnũmĩrĩra, no nginya eerege we mwene, oe mũtharaba wake aanũmĩrĩre.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross, and follow me.
25 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wendaga kũhonokia muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo; no ũrĩa wothe ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wakwa nĩakaũhonokia.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
26 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, mũndũ angĩĩguna nakĩ o na angĩĩgwatĩra thĩ yothe, na orwo nĩ muoyo wake? Kana nĩ kĩĩ mũndũ angĩkũũrania muoyo wake nakĩo?
What good will it do a person to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? Or what will a person give that is of equal value with his life?
27 Nĩgũkorwo Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩagooka na riiri wa Ithe hamwe na araika ake, na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩakahe o mũndũ kĩheo gĩake kũringana na ciĩko ciake.
For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
28 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, amwe marũngiĩ haha matigacama gĩkuũ matonete Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka na ũthamaki wake.”
I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.”
