Mateo 16
1 VaFarisi neVaSadhusi ndokuuya vachimuidza, vakamukumbira kuti avaratidze chiratidzo chinobva kudenga.
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Kana ava madekwani munoti: Kunze kwakanaka; nokuti denga rakatsvuka.
In answer he said. "In the evening you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire’;
3 Uye mangwanani munoti: Nhasi kunze kwakaipa; nokuti denga rakatsvuka richikwidibira. Vanyepedzeri, munoziva kuparadzanisa mamiriro edenga, asi hamugoni kuparadzanisa zviratidzo zvenguva here?
and at dawn you say, ‘It will storm today, for the sky is red and lowering.’ You know how to discern the look of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot read.
4 Zera rakaipa uye rinofeva richitsvaka chiratidzo; asi haripiwi chiratidzo, kunze kwechiratidzo chaJona muporofita. Ndokuvasiya, akaenda.
A wicked and faithless generation is seeking a sign, but no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah." So he left them and went away.
5 Zvino vadzidzi vakati vasvika mhiri, vakakanganwa kutora zvingwa.
When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring bread.
6 Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Onai mungwarire mbiriso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi.
Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
7 Vakarangana pakati pavo vachiti: Unodaro nokuti hatina kutora zvingwa.
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "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?
When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?
9 Muchigere kunzwisisa here, kana kurangarira zvingwa zvishanu zvevanezvuru zvishanu, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?
"Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
10 Kana zvingwa zvinomwe zvevanezvuru zvina, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?
"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
11 Hamunzwisisi sei, kuti handina kutaura kwamuri pamusoro pezvingwa kuti mungwarire mbiriso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi?
"How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware off the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"
12 Zvino vakanzwisisa kuti haana kutaura kuti vachenjere mbiriso yechingwa, asi dzidziso yeVaFarisi neVaSadhusi.
Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, 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 into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"
14 Ndokubva vati: Vamwe vanoti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi, uye vamwe Eria, vamwewo Jeremiya, kana umwe wevaporofita.
They replied, "Some say ‘Johnthe Baptist’; others, however, say that’He is Elijah’; others, ‘Jeremiah,’ or ‘One of the Prophets.’"
15 Akati kwavari: Ko imwi munoti ndini ani?
"And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.
16 Zvino Simoni Petro akapindura akati: Ndimwi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.
So 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.
"Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," said Jesus; "for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven!
18 Neni ndinoti kwauri: Ndiwe Petro, uye pamusoro peruware urwu ndichavaka kereke yangu, nemasuwo egehena haangaikundi. (Hadēs g86)
"Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her. (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; and whatever you bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens."
20 Ipapo akarairisa vadzidzi vake kuti varege kuudza munhu kuti ndiye Jesu iye Kristu.
Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one 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.
After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again.
22 Petro akamutora parutivi, akatanga kumutsiura akati: Ngazvirege kutongoitika kwamuri, Ishe; izvi hazvingatongoitiki kwamuri.
Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."
23 Asi iye wakatendeuka akati kuna Petro: Ibva shure kwangu, Satani! Uri chigumbuso kwandiri; nokuti haurangariri zvinhu zvaMwari, asi zvinhu zvevanhu.
But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."
24 Zvino Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake: Kana ani nani achida kuuya shure kwangu, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake, anditevere.
Then Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man wishes to come after me, let him renounce self, 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 he who 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 to gain the whole world and lose his soul? or what shall 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 is about to come in the glory of his Father, and his angels with him, and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions.
28 Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vamwe varipo kune vamire pano, vasingatongoraviri rufu kusvikira vaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya muushe hwake.
Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
