Matiu 16
1 Ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii bịakwutere Jisọs ịnwa ya ọnwụnwa. Ha gwara ya sị, “Gosi anyị ihe ịrịbama si nʼeluigwe.”
And Pharisees and Sadducees came near, tempting him, and asking him to show 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 he answered, and said to them: When it is evening ye say, It will be fair weather; for the heavens are 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 ye say, There will be a storm to-day; for the heavens are sadly red. Ye hypocrites, ye are intelligent to discover the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of this time ye have no skill to discern.
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.
A wicked and adulterous generation asketh for a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 Mgbe ha gafesịrị nʼofe ọzọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya chetara na ha ejighị achịcha ọbụla.
And when his disciples had come to the farther shore, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
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 he said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
7 Ha malitere na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe ha, na-asị, ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị ewetaghị ogbe achịcha ọbụla.
And they reasoned among themselves, and said, it was because they had taken 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?
But Jesus knew it and said to them: O ye small in faith! why reason ye among yourselves because ye have taken 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?
Have ye not yet understood? Do ye not remember the five loaves and the five thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
10 Unu echetakwaghị na m ji ogbe achịcha asaa zụọ puku mmadụ anọ? Iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?
Nor the seven loaves and the four thousand, and the many baskets ye 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 ye do not understand that it was not concerning bread that I spoke to you; but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the 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 understood they, that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the 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?”
And when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he questioned his disciples, and said: What do men say concerning me, that I the Son of man, am?
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 that thou art John the Baptizer; but others, 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 said to them: But, who do ye yourselves say that I am?
16 Saimọn Pita zara sị ya, “Ị bụ Kraịst ahụ, Ọkpara Chineke dị ndụ.”
Simon Cephas answered and said: Thou art the Messiah, 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.
Jesus answered, and said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is 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)
Also I say to thee, that thou art Cephas: and upon this rock, I will build my church: and the gates of death shall not triumph over 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.”
To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound 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 enjoined on his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was the Messiah.
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.
And from that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he was to go up to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the Elders, and from the chief priests and Scribes, and be killed, and on the third day arise.
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 Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him; and he said: Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee.
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 turned, and said to Cephas: Get thee behind me, Satan: Thou art a stumbling block to me; for thou thinkest not the things of God, but 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 said Jesus to his disciples: If any one desireth to come after me, let him deny himself; and let him bear 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.
For, whoever chooseth to preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
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 will it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and shall lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
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 is to come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy angels; and then will he recompense to every man as his deeds are.
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.”
Verily I say to you: There are some persons standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
