Matei 16
1 Vafalisayu na Vasadukayu vamhambili Yesu na kumlinga, vamyupili avalangisa ulangisu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Nambu Yesu akavayangula, “Yikahika kimihi mwijova yati kwivya kwabwina ndava kunani kudung'u!
But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
3 Na lukela hamba kucha mwijova, ‘Lelu yati kwivya na fula, ndava kunani kudung'u na mahundi gatindili!’ Mwimanya bwina kusoma ulangisu wa kunani, nambu mwangamanya kusoma ulangisu wa lusenje lwa hinu.
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 Chiveleku changasadika! Chigana ulangisu, chipewa lepi ulangisu, nambu nga wulawula wa Yona mweavi mlota wa Chapanga.” Yesu akavaleka, akawuka.
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 Vawuliwa vaki pavamali kukupuka kumwambu ya nyanja vakumbwiki kuvya vakosiwi kugega mabumunda.
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Yesu akavajovela, “Mvya mihu na mujiyangalila na ngemeku ya Vafalisayu na Vasadukayu!”
Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 Nambu vene vakajovesana, “Ijova genaga ndava tigegili lepi mabumunda.”
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8 Yesu amanyili maholo gavi, akavajovela, “Nyenye vandu mwemsadika padebe, ndava kyani mwijovesana ndava nakuvya na mabumunda?
But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
9 Mwangamanya? Mwikumbuka lepi mabumunda gala mhanu genavalisili vandu vala elufu mhanu ndi madengu galinga gemwamemisi?
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Amala, mabumunda saba gala genavalisili vandu elufu mcheche, wu, madengu galinga ga masigalilu gemwamemisi?
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Ndava kyani nakumanya, kuvya navi nakulongalela mambu ga mabumunda? Nambu mjiyangalila na ngemeku ya Vafalisayu na Vasadukayu!”
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12 Kangi vawuliwa vakamanya kuvya avi nakujova ndava ya ngemeku ya mabumunda, nambu ndava ya mawuliwu ga Vafalisayu na Vasadukayu.
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 Yesu peahikili muji wa Kaisalia Filipi, akavakota vawuliwa vaki, “Vandu vijova Mwana wa Mundu ndi nayani?”
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
14 Vakamyangula, “Vangi vijova Yohani Mbatizaji,” “Vangi vijova Eliya na vangi vijova Yelemia, amala mmonga pagati ya Vamlota va Chapanga.”
They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 Yesu akavakota, “Na nyenye mwijova nene ndi yani?”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Simoni Petili akayangula, “Veve ndi Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga mweavi mumi.”
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 Yesu akajova, “Umotisiwa veve Simoni mwana wa Yona, ndava muni, kawaka mundu yeyoha mweakugubukuli lijambu lenili, nambu Dadi wangu wa kunani.
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Nene nikuvajovela, veve ndi Petili, na panani ya litalau lenili yati nijenga msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu. Hati makakala ga lifwa gihotola lepi. (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Yati nikupela fungulu za Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga, chochoha cheudinda pamulima yati chidindiwa kunani kwa Chapanga, mewawa chochoha cheudindula pamulima, yati chidinduliwa kunani kwa Chapanga.”
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 Kangi Yesu avabesili neju vawuliwa vaki vakotoka kumjovela mundu yeyoha yula kuvya mwene ndi Kilisitu Msangula.
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
21 Kuhumila penapo Yesu atumbwili kuvajovela hotohoto vawuliwa vaki, kuvya yikumgana ahamba ku Yelusalemu, na kwenuko yati inga'iswa pamahele, ndava ya kuyokiswa na vagogo, na vamteta vakulu na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa, kuvya yati ikomiwa na paligono la datu yati iyuka.
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Petili akamtola pamhana, akatumbula kumhakalila, “Gakotoka kukuhumila Bambu! Lijambu lenilo langakukolela!”
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
23 Nambu Yesu akang'anamuka, akamjovela Petili, “Uwuka palongolo yangu, Setani! Veve ndi Chipingilu changu, maholo gaku lepi ga Chapanga nambu gachimundu.”
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 Kangi Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mundu yeyoha mweigana kuvya mlanda wangu yikumgana ajibela mwene, atola msalaba waki, anilandayi.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Muni, mundu mweigana kuusangula wumi waki mwene, yati akuuyagisa, nambu mundu mweakuuyagisa wumi waki ndava yangu yati akuupata kavili.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 Wu, mundu yati ipata kyani akapata vindu vyoha vya pamulima na kuuyagisa wumi waki? Amala mundu yati iwusa chindu kiki chivya pandu pa wumi waki?
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 Ndava muni, Mwana wa Mundu yati ibwela na ukulu wa Dadi waki pamonga na vamitumu vaki va kunani kwa Chapanga, penapo ndi peakumuwuyisila kila mundu ndava ya matendu gaki.
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 Nikujovela chakaka, vavi vangi bahapa, vifwa lepi changamlola Mwana wa Mundu ibwela avi Nkosi.”
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."
