Matiu 16
1 Ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii bịakwutere Jisọs ịnwa ya ọnwụnwa. Ha gwara ya sị, “Gosi anyị ihe ịrịbama si nʼeluigwe.”
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.
2 Ọ zara ha, “Mgbe o ruru anyasị unu na-asị, ‘Ihu eluigwe ga-adị mma nʼihi na ọ na-acha uhie uhie.’
But in answer he said to them, At nightfall you say, The weather will be good, for the sky is red.
3 Nʼụtụtụ unu na-asị, ‘Anyị ga-enwe mmiri ozuzo taa nʼihi na ihu eluigwe na-acha uhie uhie ma na-eji oji.’ Lee na unu pụrụ ịkọwa ihu eluigwe, ma unu apụghị isite nʼihe ịrịbama ndị a unu na-ahụ anya kọwaa ihe oge a anyị nọ nʼime ya pụtara.
And in the morning, The weather will be bad today, for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not the signs of the times.
4 Ajọ ọgbọ nke jupụtara nʼịkwa iko, nke na-arịọkwa ihe ịrịbama. Ọ nweghị ihe ịrịbama ọzọ a ga-egosi ya karịa ihe ịrịbama Jona.” Mgbe ahụ ọ sitere nʼebe ahụ ha nọ pụọ.
An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.
5 Mgbe ha gafesịrị nʼofe ọzọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya chetara na ha ejighị achịcha ọbụla.
And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.
6 Nʼoge ahụ kwa, Jisọs dụrụ ha ọdụ sị ha, “Lezienụ anya, ma na-ezekwa ihe ndị na-eko achịcha ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii.”
And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 Ha malitere na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe ha, na-asị, ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị ewetaghị ogbe achịcha ọbụla.
And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
8 Ebe ọ bụ na Jisọs matara ihe ha na-eche, ọ sịrị, “Unu ndị okwukwe nta! Gịnị mere unu ji na-esogbu onwe unu nʼihi na unu enweghị achịcha?
And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?
9 Olee mgbe unu ga-amata ihe? Ọ bụ na unu echetaghị puku mmadụ ise ahụ m jiri ogbe achịcha ise mee ka ha rijuo afọ? Ọ bụ nkata ole ka unu tụtụjuru?
Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?
10 Unu echetakwaghị na m ji ogbe achịcha asaa zụọ puku mmadụ anọ? Iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?
Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?
11 Gịnị mere unu aghọtaghị na ọ bụghị ihe banyere achịcha ka m na-ekwu? Cheenụ onwe unu nche nʼebe ihe na-eko achịcha ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii nọ.”
How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
12 Mgbe ahụ ka ha ghọtara na ihe ọ na-akọwara ha abụghị ihe banyere ihe na-eko achịcha nke a na-ata ata, kama ọ bụ ihe banyere ozizi ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii.
Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Mgbe Jisọs bịaruru obodo a na-akpọ Sizaria Filipai, ọ jụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ajụjụ sị ha, “Onye ka ndị mmadụ na-asị na Nwa nke Mmadụ bụ?”
Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
14 Ha zara ya sị, “Ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Jọn omee baptizim, ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Ịlaịja, ndị ọzọ na-asịkwa na ị bụ Jeremaya, maọbụ otu nʼime ndị amụma.”
And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ma unu onwe unu, ọ bụ onye ka unu na-asị na m bụ?”
He says to them, But who do you say that I am?
16 Saimọn Pita zara sị ya, “Ị bụ Kraịst ahụ, Ọkpara Chineke dị ndụ.”
And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Jisọs gwara ya sị, “Saimọn Pita nwa Jona, ị bụ onye a gọziri agọzi, nʼihi na anụ ahụ na ọbara ekpugheghị ya nye gị. Kama, ọ bụ Nna m bi nʼeluigwe mere ka ị mata ya.
And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.
18 Ma mụ onwe m na-agwa gị, na gị onwe gị bụ Pita. Ọ bụkwa nʼelu nkume a ka m ga-ewu ụlọ chọọchị m. Ike niile nke ọkụ ala mmụọ apụghịkwa iguzo megide ya. (Hadēs g86)
And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Aga m enye gị mkpisi igodo alaeze eluigwe. Ihe ọbụla ị ga-eke agbụ nʼelu ụwa, ka a ga-ekekwa agbụ nʼeluigwe. Ihe ọbụla ị ga-atọpụ nʼagbụ nʼụwa, a ga-atọpụkwa ya nʼeluigwe.”
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.
20 Mgbe ahụ, o nyere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iwu ka ha ghara ime ka onye ọbụla mata na ya bụ Kraịst ahụ.
Then he gave orders to the disciples to give no man word that he was the Christ.
21 Site nʼoge ahụ Jisọs malitere ịkọwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, na ya aghaghị ịga Jerusalem, ebe ọ ga-ahụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị iche iche site nʼaka ndị okenye, na ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu. O mere ka ha mata na aghaghị igbu ya, ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ, a ga-eme ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie.
From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.
22 Pita duuru ya pụọ nʼotu akụkụ, nọdụ nʼebe ahụ baara ya mba sị ya, “Onyenwe m, Chineke ekwela. Ihe ndị a agaghị adakwasị gị!”
And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.
23 Ma o chigharịrị sị Pita, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ekwensu! Ị bụ ihe mgbochi nye m. Nʼihi na ihe ị na-eche echiche ya bụ naanị echiche mmadụ, ọ bụghị uche Chineke.”
But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.
24 Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla achọọ ịbụ onye na-eso ụzọ m, ya buru ụzọ jụ onwe ya, buru obe ya, soro m nʼazụ.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.
25 Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-eche ndụ ya nche ka ọ hapụ ifunarị ya ga-atụfu ya. Ma onye ọbụla tufuru ndụ ya nʼihi m, ga-achọtakwa ya.
Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.
26 Nʼihi na uru gịnị ka mmadụ nwetara ma ọ bụrụ na o ritechaa ụwa niile nʼuru ma tufuo ndụ ya? Maọbụ gịnị bụ ihe ahụ dị nʼụwa nke mmadụ ga-eji gbanwee ndụ ya?
For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27 Nʼihi na Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-abịa nʼebube nke Nna ya, ya na ndị mmụọ ozi ya. Mgbe ahụ ka ọ ga-ekpe onye ọbụla ikpe dị ka ọrụ ya si dị.
For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.
28 “Nʼezie asị m unu, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe, agaghị edetụ ọnwụ ire, tụpụ ha ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-abịa nʼalaeze ya.”
Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
