Mateu 16
1 Mafalisi ni Masadduki chibeza ni kulika Jesu ka kumubuza kuti aba tondeze chisupo chizwa kwiwuli.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Mi na betaba kuti “chiminemine chezuba ha chisika mu wamba kuti bwikalo bwe wulu mubube hande, kakuti iwulu chili subilile.
But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
3 Imi chimeneko mu wamba kuti, “Mazimo ewulu mwabe mabi kakuti kwiwulu busubile.” Mwizi kutoloka zintu zitondezwa mwiwulu, kono ka mwizi kutalusa zitondeza inako.
In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 Mulahi wa chive ni busangu u saka chitondeza, mi kakwina chitondeza konji Joani.” Linu Jesu cha katuka ku yenda ni kuba siya.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.
5 Balutwana chibakeza kwi ishilya limwi, kono chibazibala kuhinda zinkwe.
The talmidim came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Jesu cha wamba kuti, “mu mamele mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki”.
Yeshua said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the hametz of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 Balutwana chiba kopanya mihupulo ni ku wamba kuti, “kakuti kena tweza ni zinkwa”.
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8 Jesu chaba lemuhite zoose mi chawamba kuti “Inwe be ntumelo inini, cinzi hazeza bulyo mukati kanu ni kutakuti kakuti kena mwahinda zinkwa?
But Yeshua, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
9 Kana muzeza za zinkwa zibali kupanga iyanza, zibakwani bantu bena 5.000, mi zitanda zongayi zi mube zuzi?
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Kapa zinkwa zibena iyanza ni zobele ku bantu ba bena 4.000, mi zongayi zitanda zi mu bahindi?
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Ha mu sazuwisisi chinzi kuti kani wamba nanwe za zinkwa? Mukole ni ku mamela za mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki.”
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the hametz of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12 Linu chiba muzuwisisa kuti kena a talusa za mulungo, kono kumamela intuto ya Mafasi ni Masadduki.
Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Haho Jesu cha keza ku munzi umwi wa Chaesarea Filipi, chabuza balutwana bakwe, kuti, “Njozuhi bantu u bata kuti nji Mwan'a Muntu?”
Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his talmidim, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
14 Chibe taba kuti, “bamwi ba wamba kuti njeye Joani yokolobeza, bamwi nji Elija, mi bamwi bati nji Jeremia, kapa zumwi wa bapolofita.”
They said, "Some say John the Immerser, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 Chati ku bali, “Chwale inwe muti Njemeni?”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Chikwe taba Simone Pitrosi cati, “Njewe Keresite, mwan' a we Reza yohala.”
Shim'on Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
17 Jesu chetaba ni ku muta kuti, “Intohonolo nji yako Simone mwan' a a Joana, kakuti kena inyama kapa malaha, za ku cheniseza, kono nji Tayo wa kwiwulu.
And Yeshua answered him, "Blessed are you, Shim'on Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Imi name niti njewe Pitorosi, ibwe hente nizake inkeleke yangu. Milyango ya bafwile kente ni iizunde. (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my congregation, and the gates of Sheol will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Ka ni kuhe inkiyi za mubuso wa kwiwulu. Chonse cho sumina hansi ni kwiwulu kaci suminwe, hape chonse cho sumununa hansi ni kwiwulu muchi sumununwe.”
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
20 Linu Jesu chalaela balutwana bakwe kuti kana bawambili ni haike muntu umwina kuti njeye Keresite.
Then he commanded the talmidim that they should tell no one that he is the Messiah.
21 Kuzwa heyo inako Jesu, chatanga ku wambila balutwana bakwe kuti cho kutameha kuyenda kwa Jerusalema, mi kusukuluka kakube kungi mu manza a bentanzi, bañoli, ni bakulwana ba mapulisita, kwi haiwe, ni kubuswa kubola ku kuhala mwizuba lya butatu.
From that time, Yeshua began to show his talmidim that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief cohanim, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Linu Pitorosi na mukungwila kwimbali na munyasa nati, “Ichi chintu chibe kule nawe, Simwine, sanzi chitendahali kwako”.
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
23 Kono Jesu cha chebuka ni kuta Pitorosi, kuti “zwe kwangu, Satani! U chi sitataliso kwangu. Iwe kobilaela ni zintu ze Reeza, kono zintu za buntu.”
But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."
24 Linu Jesu cha wamba ku balutwana bakwe, “Heba kwina usaka kuni chilila, uswanela ku lisungula, a hinde chifapano chakwe, ni kuni chilila.
Then Yeshua said to his talmidim, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Muntu yense usaka buhalo bwakwe mwa bu mayiba, kono yo sinyehelwa buhalo bwakwe ke baka lyangu mwa buwane.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 Ka chi muhenzi muntu kuti a mune inkanda yonse kono umaninwa buhalo bwakwe? Chinzi muntu cawola kuha kuti a wane buhalo bwa kwe?
For what will it profit a person, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
27 Mwan' a Muntu mwe ze mwinkanya Yesi ni mañiloyi a kwe. Linu njente ahe muntu ni muntu impo kakuya ka zintu za batendi.
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
28 Ikumbya ni mi wambile buniti, kwina bamwi bazimene hanu, kense ni ba bone bakane lufu konji chi ba bona Mwan'a Muntu neza mu mubuso wakwe.
Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
