Mateu 16
1 Mafalisi ni Masadduki chibeza ni kulika Jesu ka kumubuza kuti aba tondeze chisupo chizwa kwiwuli.
The Pharisees also and the Sadducees came, and, tempting, desired him that he would 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.
He answered and said to them, When it is evening, ye 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.
And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to-day: for the sky is red and lowering. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [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.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign been to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 Balutwana chibakeza kwi ishilya limwi, kono chibazibala kuhinda zinkwe.
And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Jesu cha wamba kuti, “mu mamele mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki”.
Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 Balutwana chiba kopanya mihupulo ni ku wamba kuti, “kakuti kena tweza ni zinkwa”.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have taken 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?
[Which] when Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 Kana muzeza za zinkwa zibali kupanga iyanza, zibakwani bantu bena 5.000, mi zitanda zongayi zi mube zuzi?
Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Kapa zinkwa zibena iyanza ni zobele ku bantu ba bena 4.000, mi zongayi zitanda zi mu bahindi?
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 Ha mu sazuwisisi chinzi kuti kani wamba nanwe za zinkwa? Mukole ni ku mamela za mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki.”
How is it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the 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 caution them against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the 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?”
When Jesus came into the borders of Cesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 Chibe taba kuti, “bamwi ba wamba kuti njeye Joani yokolobeza, bamwi nji Elija, mi bamwi bati nji Jeremia, kapa zumwi wa bapolofita.”
And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Chati ku bali, “Chwale inwe muti Njemeni?”
He saith to them, But who say ye that I am?
16 Chikwe taba Simone Pitrosi cati, “Njewe Keresite, mwan' a we Reza yohala.”
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, 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 Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon-Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] to thee, 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)
And I say also to thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hell shall 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.”
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Linu Jesu chalaela balutwana bakwe kuti kana bawambili ni haike muntu umwina kuti njeye Keresite.
Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
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 forth Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Linu Pitorosi na mukungwila kwimbali na munyasa nati, “Ichi chintu chibe kule nawe, Simwine, sanzi chitendahali kwako”.
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
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 thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offense to me: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
24 Linu Jesu cha wamba ku balutwana bakwe, “Heba kwina usaka kuni chilila, uswanela ku lisungula, a hinde chifapano chakwe, ni kuni chilila.
Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any [man] will 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 will save his life, shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall 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 is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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 reward every man according to his works.
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.
Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
