Mateo 16
1 VaFarisi neVaSadhusi ndokuuya vachimuidza, vakamukumbira kuti avaratidze chiratidzo chinobva kudenga.
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Kana ava madekwani munoti: Kunze kwakanaka; nokuti denga rakatsvuka.
But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’
3 Uye mangwanani munoti: Nhasi kunze kwakaipa; nokuti denga rakatsvuka richikwidibira. Vanyepedzeri, munoziva kuparadzanisa mamiriro edenga, asi hamugoni kuparadzanisa zviratidzo zvenguva here?
and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.
4 Zera rakaipa uye rinofeva richitsvaka chiratidzo; asi haripiwi chiratidzo, kunze kwechiratidzo chaJona muporofita. Ndokuvasiya, akaenda.
A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away.
5 Zvino vadzidzi vakati vasvika mhiri, vakakanganwa kutora zvingwa.
When they crossed to the other side, the disciples forgot to take bread.
6 Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Onai mungwarire mbiriso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi.
“Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 Vakarangana pakati pavo vachiti: Unodaro nokuti hatina kutora zvingwa.
They discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”
8 Zvino Jesu azviziva akati kwavari: Imwi verutendo rudiki, nemhaka yei muchirangana pakati penyu kuti hamuna kutora zvingwa?
Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?
9 Muchigere kunzwisisa here, kana kurangarira zvingwa zvishanu zvevanezvuru zvishanu, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
10 Kana zvingwa zvinomwe zvevanezvuru zvina, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
11 Hamunzwisisi sei, kuti handina kutaura kwamuri pamusoro pezvingwa kuti mungwarire mbiriso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi?
How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 Zvino vakanzwisisa kuti haana kutaura kuti vachenjere mbiriso yechingwa, asi dzidziso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi.
Then they understood that He was not telling them to beware of the leaven used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Jesu wakati asvika kumativi eKesariya yeFiripi, akabvunza vadzidzi vake, achiti: Vanhu vanoti ini Mwanakomana wemunhu ndini ani?
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 Ndokubva vati: Vamwe vanoti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi, uye vamwe Eria, vamwewo Jeremiya, kana umwe wevaporofita.
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 Akati kwavari: Ko imwi munoti ndini ani?
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Zvino Simoni Petro akapindura akati: Ndimwi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Wakaropafadzwa, Simoni mwanakomana waJona, nokuti nyama neropa hazvina kukuzarurira izvozvo, asi Baba vangu vari kumatenga.
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.
18 Neni ndinoti kwauri: Ndiwe Petro, uye pamusoro peruware urwu ndichavaka kereke yangu, nemasuwo egehena haangaikundi. (Hadēs g86)
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Uye ndichapa kwauri kiyi dzeushe hwekumatenga; uye chipi nechipi chauchasunga panyika, chichasungwa kumatenga; nechipi nechipi chauchasunungura panyika, chichasunungurwa kumatenga.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 Ipapo akarairisa vadzidzi vake kuti varege kuudza munhu kuti ndiye Jesu iye Kristu.
Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
21 Kubva panguva iyo Jesu wakatanga kuratidza kuvadzidzi vake kuti anofanira kuenda kuJerusarema, uye kutambudzika zvizhinji zvichibva kuvakuru nevapristi vakuru nevanyori, nekuurawa, nekumutswa nezuva retatu.
From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
22 Petro akamutora parutivi, akatanga kumutsiura akati: Ngazvirege kutongoitika kwamuri, Ishe; izvi hazvingatongoitiki kwamuri.
Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”
23 Asi iye wakatendeuka akati kuna Petro: Ibva shure kwangu, Satani! Uri chigumbuso kwandiri; nokuti haurangariri zvinhu zvaMwari, asi zvinhu zvevanhu.
But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
24 Zvino Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake: Kana ani nani achida kuuya shure kwangu, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake, anditevere.
Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
25 Nokuti ani nani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo; asi ani nani anorasikirwa neupenyu hwake nekuda kwangu achahuwana.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26 Nokuti munhu anobatsirwei kana akawana nyika yese, akarasikirwa nemweya wake? Kana munhu achapei chive muripo wemweya wake?
What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu achauya mukubwinya kwaBaba vake nevatumwa vake, ipapo achapa mubairo umwe neumwe zvichienderana nebasa rake.
For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
28 Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vamwe varipo kune vamire pano, vasingatongoraviri rufu kusvikira vaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya muushe hwake.
Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
