Umatiyu 16
1 Anu bezi urusa nan ma sadukiyawa wa eh ahira a yeso wa nuari ubatta ume, ca ma bezi we imum idandang sa idi bezi ubari umeme.
[Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
2 Ma kabirka ma gun we, “Ingi aseseri avuna innu wunjoro, i gu, 'Im-hh nisizo nisa rizi.'
He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
3 Ingi ya ira aseseri avuna nisisizo abe, igu, kani adi rubu ure. Ya rusa uzina seseri, i dake irusi uzina uganiya ugino me ba.
[Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
4 Anu ganiya ugino me anu zattu rusan Asere wani wani ana buri wa nyara a bezi we imum, ada beze we ba. Si i yanana, yeso ma dusa ma ceki we.
[You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
5 Sa anu tarsa umeme wa hana anire nikira, wa ringi wa pirke me ubiredi.
[We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
6 Yeso ma gun wa, “Hirani, i wuzi seke unu yistin wa nu bezi urusa nan ma sadukiyawa.”
[Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
7 Wa tubi ubo acece unu gusa, “Nan uzatu aye unu biredi me unni.”
Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
8 Sa yeso ma ira anime ma gu, “Shi anu hem ucin, nyanini ya wuna igusa i zoshi unu biredi?
Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
9 Anu me daki ya rusa ba? mu gira mu hono muni ya oro?
(You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
10 Uganiya sa ma rin nanu aru anazi uni biredi unu sunare, mu gira muhono muni ya ori?
[Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
11 Nyanini ya wuna daki ya rusa uguna inbo aba ga ubiredi uni ba? ma guna wuzani seke unu yistin wanu bezi urusa nan ma sadukiyawa.
(You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
12 A bini me anu tarsa umeme wa russi uguna wa wuzi seke in nanu bezi urusa nan masadukiyawa inzo uyistin me sa awuza ubiredi ba.
Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Sa yeso ma aye ukaisariya ufilibi ma ikki anu tarsa umeme ma gu, “Aveni anu wa gusan vana unu?”
When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
14 Wa gun me, “Aye wa gusa yohana unu baptisma, aye wa gussi Iliya, wa gussi Irimiya nan uye anyimo anu kurzuzo utize ta Asere.”
We answered, “Some [people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
15 Ma gun we, “Shi naa, mi aveni?”
Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
16 Siman Bitrus ma kabirka ma gu, “Ho mani vana Asere unu ivai.”
Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
17 Yeso kabirka me ma gu, “Hu una re-aje mani siman vana u yohana unubu binama nan maye mani ma bezi we ba aco mani sa ma ra aseseri.
Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
18 In kuri inbu we hu Bitrus mani, anipo nigeme indi bari anu am anu tarsa Asere, an de sa iwono izo me unu bari awe ba. (Hadēs g86)
I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
19 In di nya we mabudi mati gomo ta seseri imum me sa ya tirza une izin unnu tira aseseri, imum me sa ya sopo une izin unu sopo aseseri.
[Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
20 Ma hunguko anu tarsa ume me ti tui kang kati wa buki uye agi memani vana Asere ba.
Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
21 Abini me yeso ma tubi ubezi anu tarsa umeme ya cukuno me gbass ma ha urushalima make zito sasas atari ta nanu nan anu adandang nan anu unyirte udungara u musa a hume rono uku taru mahiri.
From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
22 Bitrus ma titi me nikira ma gbarika me ma gu, “Asere awu pit in ani me nan hu, ani me ida kemme hu ba ugomo Asere.”
[Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
23 Yeso ma gamirka ma gun Bitrus, “Abame unu bur, hu unu nyara irizi ini, ubassa timum ta nabo tini inzo ta Asere ba.”
Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
24 Yeso ma gun anu tarsa umeme, “De sa ma nyara matarsum ca maya ri me nice nume ma ziki ijassi ma tarsum.
Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
25 De sa ma nyara maburi nice nume madi diri nice nume, de sa ma nyari me nice nume madi kem nini.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed [because of being my disciples] will live [with God eternally].
26 Nyanini unu madi kem une vat i ikki nice nume? nani nyanini unu madi nya anyo anice nume?
People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
27 Vana unu madi eh nan ana kadura kameme anyumo ani nonzo na co ume me. Abini me madi nya kondevi imum anyo akatuma kame.
[Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
28 Kadundure in bo shi aye ashi me sa wa turi abame wada wono we ba, wadi iri u aye uvana unu anyumo ati gomo time.”
Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
