Matayo 16
1 Awo Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo ne bajja eri Yesu okumugezesa nga bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu.
The Pharisees [Separated] and Sadducees [Morally-upright] came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Obudde bwe buwungeera mugamba nti, obudde bujja kuba bulungi kubanga eggulu limyuse nnyo.
But he answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
3 Ate eggulu bwe limyuka ku nkya mumanya nti olunaku lwonna obudde bujja kwefuukuula. Mumanyi bulungi endabika y’eggulu n’okwawula ebiseera, naye lwaki temusobola kutegeera bubonero bwa biro?
In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can’t discern the signs of the times!
4 Mmwe ab’omulembe omwonoonefu era omwenzi musaba akabonero naye temuliweebwa kabonero okuggyako aka Yona.” Yesu n’abaviira n’agenda.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah [Dove].” He left them, and departed.
5 Abayigirizwa bwe baasomoka okuva emitala w’eri ne beerabira okuleeta emigaati.
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa ky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Take heed and beware of the hametz ·leaven· of the Pharisees [Separated] and Sadducees [Morally-upright].”
7 Naye Abayigirizwa ne boogeraganya bokka ne bokka nti, “Ayogedde bw’atyo kubanga tetwaleese migaati.”
They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
8 Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe abalina okukkiriza okutono lwaki mweraliikirira nga mugamba nti, ‘temulina mmere?’
Yeshua [Salvation], perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little trusting faith, ‘because you have brought no bread?’
9 Era temunnategeera wadde okujjukira emigaati etaano abantu enkumi ettaano gye baalya, n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo?
Don’t you yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Era n’emigaati omusanvu abantu enkumi ennya gye baalya n’ebisero bye mwakuŋŋaanya ebyafikkawo?
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Kale lwaki temutegeera nti mbadde ssoogera ku migaati? Naye mwekuume ekizimbulukusa eky’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.”
How is it that you don’t perceive that I didn’t speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the hametz ·leaven· of the Pharisees [Separated] and Sadducees [Morally-upright].”
12 Ne balyoka bategeera nti yali tayogera ku kizimbulukusa kya migaati naye yali ayogera ku njigiriza y’Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo.
Then they understood that he didn’t tell them to beware of the hametz ·leaven· of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees [Separated] and Sadducees [Morally-upright].
13 Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka mu kitundu kya Kayisaliya ekya Firipo n’abuuza abayigirizwa be nti, “Abantu Omwana w’Omuntu bagamba nti ye ani?”
Now when Yeshua [Salvation] came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi [Ruler Loves horses], he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala nti Eriya, n’abalala nti Yeremiya oba omu ku bannabbi.”
They said, “Some say John [Yah is gracious] the Immerser, some, Elijah [My God Yah], and others, Jeremiah [Yah lifts up], or one of the prophets.”
15 Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mmwe mundowooza kuba ani?”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simooni Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda omulamu.”
Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] answered, “You are the Messiah [Anointed one], haBen haElohim Chayim [the Son of the God Living].”
17 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olina omukisa Simooni, omwana wa Yona, kubanga ekyo Kitange ali mu ggulu y’akikubikkulidde, so tokiggye mu bantu.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Blessed are you, Simeon Bar Jonah [Hearing son of Dove], for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but 'Avi shebashamayim ·my Father in Heaven·.
18 Era nkutegeeza nti, Ggwe Peetero, olwazi, era ku lwazi okwo kwe ndizimba Ekkanisa yange, n’amaanyi gonna aga Setaani tegaligiwangula. (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter [Rock], and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades / Sh'ol ·Place of the dead· will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Era ndikuwa ebisumuluzo by’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu; era kyonna ky’onoosibanga ku nsi, ne mu ggulu kinaasibwanga, na buli ky’onoosumululanga ku nsi, ne mu ggulu kinaasumululwanga.”
I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (God), and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”
20 Awo n’akuutira abayigirizwa be baleme kubuulirako muntu n’omu nti Ye Kristo.
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Yeshua the Messiah [Salvation the Anointed one].
21 Okuva mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’atandika okunnyonnyola abayigirizwa be nga bwe kimugwanidde okugenda e Yerusaalemi, abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bamubonyeebonye, era bamutte; naye ku lunaku olwokusatu azuukire.
From that time, Yeshua [Salvation] began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem [City of peace] and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and Torah-Teachers, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Peetero n’amuzza ebbali n’atandika okumunenya ng’amugamba nti, “Katonda akulage ekisa Mukama waffe. Bino tebirikutuukako.”
Peter [Rock] took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
23 Naye Yesu n’akyukira Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Dda ennyuma wange Setaani. Oli kyesittaza gye ndi, kubanga tolowoozeza bintu bya Katonda wabula olowooza bintu bya bantu.”
But he turned, and said to Peter [Rock], “Get behind me, Satan [Adversary]! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.”
24 Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Omuntu bw’ayagala okungoberera asaana yeefiirize yekka, yeetikke omusaalaba gwe alyoke angoberere.
Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his execution-stake, and follow me.
25 Kubanga buli agezaako okuwonya obulamu bwe alibufiirwa, oyo alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibuwonya.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 Kigasa ki omuntu okufuna ensi yonna naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe? Oba kiki omuntu kyayinza okuwaayo olw’obulamu bwe?
For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27 Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okujja mu kitiibwa kya Kitange ne bamalayika be alyoke asasule buli muntu ng’ebikolwa bye bwe byali.
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of 'Aviv ·his Father· with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
28 “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti ku mmwe abali wano kuliko abatalirega ku kufa okutuusa lwe baliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajja n’obwakabaka bwe.”
Most certainly 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.”
