Mateo 16
1 VaFarisi navaSadhusi vakauya kuna Jesu vakamuedza nokumukumbira kuti avaratidze chiratidzo chinobva kudenga.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and tempting him asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.
2 Akavapindura achiti, “Panosvika nguva yamadekwana munoti, ‘Mamiriro okunze achange akanaka nokuti denga rakatsvuka.’
But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the heaven is red.
3 Uye mangwanani munoti, ‘Nhasi kuchanaya mvura ine dutu nokuti denga rakatsvuka uye kwakakwidibira.’ Munoziva kududzira zvinoonekwa mudenga, asi hamugoni kududzira zviratidzo zvenguva.
And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather today: for the heaven is red and lowring. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot [discern] the signs of the times.
4 Rudzi rwakaipa rwoupombwe runotsvaka chiratidzo, asi hapana chichapiwa kwarwuri kunze kwechiratidzo chaJona.” Ipapo Jesu akavasiya, akaenda kumwe.
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
5 Pavakayambuka mhiri kwegungwa, vadzidzi vakakanganwa kutakura chingwa.
And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.
6 Jesu akati kwavari, “Chenjerai mungwarire mbiriso yavaFarisi navaSadhusi.”
And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 Vakakurukura nezvenyaya iyi pakati pavo vakati, “Anodaro nokuti hatina kuuya nechingwa.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
8 Achiziva izvi Jesu akavabvunza akati, “Imi vokutenda kuduku, ko, muri kutauriranei pakati penyu nezvokusava nechingwa?
And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?
9 Hamusati mava kunzwisisa here? Hamurangariri here zvingwa zvishanu zvavanhu vane zviuru zvishanu uye kuti makazadza matengu mangani ezvamakaunganidza?
Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Kana kuti zvingwa zvinomwe zvavanhu zviuru zvina uye kuti makazadza matengu mangani ezvamakaunganidza?
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 Hamunzwisisi sei kuti ndanga ndisingatauri kwamuri nezvechingwa? Asi chenjererai mbiriso yavaFarisi navaSadhusi.”
How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
12 Ipapo vakanzwisisa kuti ainge asingavaudzi kuti vachenjerere mbiriso inoshandiswa muchingwa, asi nezvedzidziso yavaFarisi navaSadhusi.
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Jesu akati asvika kudunhu reKesaria Firipi, akabvunza vadzidzi vake akati, “Vanhu vanoti Mwanakomana woMunhu ndiani?”
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
14 Vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi, vamwewo vanoti Eria, vamwewo vachiti Jeremia kana mumwe wavaprofita.”
And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Akabvunza akati, “Ko, imi munoti ndini ani?”
He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am?
16 Simoni Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.”
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Jesu akapindura akati, “Wakaropafadzwa iwe Simoni mwanakomana waJona, nokuti izvi hazvina kuzarurirwa kwauri nomunhu asi naBaba vangu vari kudenga.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 Ndinoti kwauri, iwe ndiwe Petro, paruware urwu ndichavaka kereke yangu, kunyange masuo eHadhesi haangaikundi. (Hadēs g86)
And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Ndichakupa kiyi dzoumambo hwokudenga; chose chaunosunga pano pasi chichasungwa kudenga, uye chose chaunosunungura pano pasi nokudenga chichasunungurwa.”
I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Ipapo akayambira vadzidzi vake kuti vasaudze ani zvake kuti iye ndiye Kristu.
Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.
21 Kubva panguva iyoyo Jesu akatanga kutsanangurira vadzidzi vake kuti anofanira kuenda kuJerusarema kundotambudzwa kwazvo pamaoko avakuru navaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vemirayiro uye kuti anofanira kuurayiwa nokumutswazve pazuva retatu.
From that time began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Petro akamutora padivi akatanga kumutsiura achiti, “Hazviitiki, Ishe. Izvi hazvisi kuzoitika kwamuri!”
And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee.
23 Jesu akatendeukira kwaari akati, “Enda shure kwangu Satani! Uri chigumbuso kwandiri nokuti hauna zvinhu zvaMwari mupfungwa dzako asi zvavanhu.”
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.
24 Ipapo Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Kana paine anoda kunditevera, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake, anditevere.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Nokuti ani naani anoda kuchengetedza upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuwana.
For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 Ko, munhu achabatsirwa nei kana akawana nyika yose, asi achirasikirwa noupenyu hwake? Kana kuti munhu acharipeiko kuti adzikinure upenyu hwake?
For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
27 Nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu achauya ari mukubwinya kwaBaba vake aine vatumwa vake, ipapo achapa mubayiro kuno mumwe nomumwe maererano namabasa ake.
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.
28 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti vamwe vamire pano havazofi vasati vaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achiuya muumambo hwake.”
Verily I say unto you, There be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
