Matayu 16
1 Mafalisayu wamu na Masadukayu yawamgendiriti Yesu wafiriti kumuyambira, su wamgambiriti kawatenderi liuzauza kulanguziya kuwera Mlungu kapamuhera na yomberi.
Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
2 Kumbiti Yesu kawankula, “Mshenji paguzyeta mwenga mtakula, ‘Twankugenda kuwera na shipindi shiherepa toziya kumpindi kuwera kusheri.’
But Jesus answered, ‘In the evening you say “It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.”
3 Na pamandawira putiputi mtakula, ‘Leru vula haitowi, toziya kumpindi kusheri na ntiti.’ Mwenga mushimana shipindi kwa kulola kumpindi, kumbiti muvimana ndiri kuyimana ntambu ya vipindi avi!
But in the morning you say “Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.” You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!
4 Shiyiwuku shikondola na shashihera uwaminika kulongolu kwa Mlungu! Mfira mauzauza, kumbiti hapeni mpananwi liuzauza lyoseri lilii ira hampananwi liuzauza lya Yona.” Su kawaleka na kagenda zakuwi.
A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.’ So he left them and went away.
5 Wafundwa wakuwi pawalokiti kala kumwambu kulitanda, waliyaluwa kutola mabumunda.
Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
6 Yesu kawagambira, “Muweri masu, na mlikali weri na simika ya Mafalisayu na Masadukayu.”
Presently Jesus said to them, ‘Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
7 Wantumintumi wanjiti kulitakuziyana weni kwa weni, “Katakuliti hangu toziya tutoliti ndiri libumunda lyoseri.”
But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
8 Yesu kavimaniti shawatakula, su kawakosiya, “Mwana njimiru shiyasi gaa! Hashi, shamuyowera pakati penu kuusu kwahera libumunda lyoseri?
On noticing this, Jesus said, ‘Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
9 Hashi, mpaka vinu muvimana ndiri? Hashi, mulihola ndiri panugamegiti mabumunda muhanu toziya ya wantu elufu muhanu? Hashi, mjojiriti majamanda maninga ga mabumunda yagasigaliti?
Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
10 Ama mabumunda saba gamuwagawiriti wantu elufu msheshi? Hashi, mjojiniriti majamanda maninga ga mabumunda yagasigariti?
Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
11 Iwezekana hashi, muvimana ndiri kuwera ntakuliti ndiri kuusu mabumunda? Mulikali weri na simika ya Mafalisayu na Masadukayu!”
How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
12 Shakapanu wafundwa wavimana handa kankuwagambira ndiri walikali weri na simika ya mabumunda kumbiti kulikala weri na mafundu ga Mafalisayu na Masadukayu.
Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Yesu kagenditi pakwegera na lushi lwa Kaisariya Filipi, kawakosiyiti wafundwa wakuwi, “Hashi, wantu wankutakula mwana gwa muntu ndo gaa?”
On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’
14 Womberi wamwankula, “Wamonga watakula Yohani Mbatiza na wamonga watakula Eliya na wamonga watakula Yeremiya na wamonga walonga mbuyi gwa Mlungu.”
‘Some say John the Baptist,’ they answered, ‘Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.’
15 Yesu kawakosiya, “Hashi, mwenga mlonga neni nagaa?”
‘But you,’ he said, ‘who do you say that I am?’
16 Simoni Peteru kawankula, “Gwenga gwa Kristu, mwana gwa Mlungu yakawera mkomu.”
To this Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
17 Yesu kalonga, “Mbaka gwenga Simoni mwana gwa Yohani! Toziya unakaka awu kwahera muntu yakakugubutulira gwenga, kumbiti Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi ndo yakakugubutulira.
‘Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,’ Jesus replied. ‘For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Na neni nukugambira gwenga Peteru, gwenga gwa libuwi na pampindi palibuwi ali hanyawi shipinga shangu sha wantu yawanjimira neni, ata makakala ga mulirindi lyalihera upeleru hapeni gakukanki. (Hadēs g86)
Yes, and I say to you, your name is “Peter” – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Hanukupi funguwu za Ufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, kila shagutata pasipanu shitatitwi kala kumpindi kwa Mlungu na kila shaguvugula pasipanu shivugulitwi kala kumpindi kwa Mlungu”.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.’
20 Shakapanu Yesu kawalagalira wafundwa wakuwi nawamgambira muntu yoseri handa yomberi ndo Kristu.
Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
21 Kwanjira shipindi shili Yesu kanjiti kuwagambira pota na kufifa kwa wafundwa wakuwi, “Hang'endi Yerusalemu na aku hantabiki nentu kulawa kwa wazewi na watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru. Hawanagi kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira panhowiti, hanzyuki.”
At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
22 Peteru kamtola Yesu kugenda kumpeku na kanjiti kumkalipira. “Nayiwera hangu Mtuwa! Shitwatila ashi hapeni shikupati.”
But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘please God that will never be your fate!’
23 Yesu kagalambuka na kamgambira Peteru, “Guwuki kulongolu kwa neni, Shetani! Gwenga gwa shidiwiru munjira yaneni, toziya maholu gaku aga galawa ndiri kwa Mlungu kumbiti galawa mumaholu ga muntu.”
Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said, ‘Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as person does.’
24 Shakapanu Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Handa muntu yoseri yakafira kuwera ntumintumi gwangu, kalilemi mweni na kalutoli lupingika lwakuwi kanfati.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross, and follow me.
25 Toziya muntu yakafira kugalopoziya makaliru gakuwi mweni hakagahovii, kumbiti muntu yoseri yakagahoviya makaliru gakuwi toziya ya neni hakagalopoziyi.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
26 Hashi, muntu hakapati shishi pakawupata ulunda wa pasipanu poseri shakapanu pakagahoviya makaliru gakuwi? Ndala! Kwahera shintu, muntu shakaweza kulaviya su kapati ukomu.
What good will it do a person to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? Or what will a person give that is of equal value with his life?
27 Toziya Mwana gwa Muntu hakizi muukwisa wa Tati gwakuwi pamuhera na wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa Mlungu na hakampanani mafupu kila muntu ntambu yakatenditi.
For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
28 “Nakaka nukugambirani kwana wamonga mlaamu hapeni wahowi pamberi pa kumwona Mwana gwa Muntu pakiza Muufalumi wakuwi.”
I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.’
