Matiu 16
1 Ndị Farisii na ndị Sadusii bịakwutere Jisọs ịnwa ya ọnwụnwa. Ha gwara ya sị, “Gosi anyị ihe ịrịbama si nʼeluigwe.”
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.
2 Ọ zara ha, “Mgbe o ruru anyasị unu na-asị, ‘Ihu eluigwe ga-adị mma nʼihi na ọ na-acha uhie uhie.’
He replied, "In the evening you say, 'It will be fine weather, 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, '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.
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 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.
5 Mgbe ha gafesịrị nʼofe ọzọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya chetara na ha ejighị achịcha ọbụla.
When the disciples arrived at the other side of the Lake, they found that they had forgotten to bring any 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 when Jesus said to them, "See to it: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,"
7 Ha malitere na-ekwurịta nʼetiti onwe ha, na-asị, ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị ewetaghị ogbe achịcha ọbụla.
they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have not brought any 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?
Jesus perceived this and said, "Why are you reasoning among yourselves, you men of little faith, 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 not yet understand? nor even remember the 5,000 and the five loaves, and how many basketfuls you carried away,
10 Unu echetakwaghị na m ji ogbe achịcha asaa zụọ puku mmadụ anọ? Iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?
nor the 4,000 and the seven loaves, and how many hampers you carried away?
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 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."
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 perceived that He had not warned them against bread-yeast, but against 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?”
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.
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.”
"Some say John the Baptist," they replied; "others Elijah; 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?”
"But you, who do you say that I am?" He asked again.
16 Saimọn Pita zara sị ya, “Ị bụ Kraịst ahụ, Ọkpara Chineke dị ndụ.”
"You," replied Simon Peter, "are the Christ, the Son of the ever-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.
"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah," said Jesus; "for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but 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 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)
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 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."
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 urged His disciples to tell no one 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 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.
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!”
Then Peter took Him aside and began taking Him to task. "Master," he said, "God forbid; this will not be your lot."
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 Peter, "Get behind me, Adversary; you are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."
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 one desires to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
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 desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses 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?
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?
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 soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to his actions.
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.”
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."
