Mateo 16
1 Da koro bi, Farisifo ne Sadukifo baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsɔɔ no hwɛɛ wɔ frɛ a ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no ho. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se ɔnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne bi a efi ɔsoro nkyerɛ wɔn.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to tempt him, and asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Munim wim nsakrae ho nkyerɛase. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ, na wim yɛ kɔkɔɔ a, moka se ɔkyena wim bɛtew.
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, Fair weather; for the sky is red.
3 Sɛ edu anɔpa na wim yɛ kɔɔ a, moka se wim rentew da mu no nyinaa. Nanso muntumi nkyerɛ mmere mu nsɛnkyerɛnne no ase.
And in the morning, A storm to-day; for the sky is red and lowering. Hypocrites! you know how to judge of the face of the sky; but you can not judge of the signs of the times.
4 Saa ɔman nnebɔneyɛfo a wonnye hwee nni yi hwehwɛ sɛ wobehu ɔsoro nsɛnkyerɛnne bi, nanso wɔrenhu nsɛnkyerɛnne foforo biara ka anwonwade a woyi kyerɛɛ Yona no ho.” Yesu kaa saa wiee no, ogyaw wɔn hɔ kɔe.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign: and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. And he left them and departed.
5 Asuafo no twa kɔɔ asuogya nohɔ no, wɔkae se anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa aduan.
And his disciples came to the other side, and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye wɔ Farisifo ne Sadukifo nyaatwom a ɛte sɛ mmɔkaw no ho.”
And Jesus said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 Asuafo no susuw sɛ gyama wonkura aduan biara no nti na Yesu kaa saa.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: It is because we took no bread.
8 Yesu huu nea wodwinnwen no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo a mo gyidi sua! Adɛn na ɛhaw mo sɛ moamfa aduan?
And Jesus perceiving it, said to them: O you of little faith! why are you reasoning among yourselves because you took no bread?
9 Enti ebesi nnɛ monte ase ana? Mo werɛ afi brodo anum a mibubuu mu maa nnipa mpem anum no ne ase mporoporowa kɛntɛn a ɛkae no?
Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Mo werɛ asan afi brodo ason a mede maa nnipa mpem anan ne nea ɛkae no?
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Adɛn nti na modwene sɛ aduan ho asɛm na mereka akyerɛ mo? Meresan aka bio sɛ, ‘Monhwɛ mo ho yiye wɔ Farisifo ne Sadukifo mmɔkaw ho.’”
How is it that you do not understand, that I did not speak of bread when I commanded you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Afei asuafo no tee nea ɔkae no ase sɛ, Farisifo ne Sadukifo mmɔkaw ho asɛm a ɔreka akyerɛ no yɛ Farisifo ne Sadukifo nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne bi no ho asɛm na ɔreka.
Then they understood that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 Bere a Yesu baa Kaesarea Filipi fam no, obisaa nʼasuafo no se “Nnipa ka se Onipa Ba no ne hena?”
When Jesus came into the regions of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?
14 Wobuaa no se, “Ebinom se wone Yohane Osuboni. Ebinom nso se Elia. Afoforo nso se wone Yeremia anaa adiyifo no mu baako.”
They replied: Some say that thou art John the Immerser; others, Elijah; others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Afei Yesu bisaa wɔn se “Na mo nso, muse mene hena?”
He said to them: But who say you that I am?
16 Simon Petro buaa no se, “Wone Kristo no, Onyankopɔn Teasefo no Ba no!”
Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nhyira ne wo, Yona ba Simon. Efisɛ ɛnyɛ onipa na oyii eyi kyerɛɛ wo, na mmom ɛyɛ mʼAgya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no.
And Jesus answered and said to him: Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Wone Petro, Ɔbotan, na ɔbotan yi so na mede mʼasafo besi, na tumi a ɛwɔ ɔbonsam gya mu no rentumi mmubu no da. (Hadēs g86)
And I say to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Mede Ɔsoro Ahenni no safe bɛma wo, na ɔpon biara a wobɛto mu wɔ asase so no, wɔbɛto mu wɔ ɔsoro; na ɔpon biara a wubebue wɔ asase so no, wobebue wɔ ɔsoro!”
And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Afei Yesu bɔɔ nʼasuafo no ano se wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no.
Then he charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
21 Efi saa bere no, Yesu fii ase kyerɛkyerɛɛ ɔkɔ a ɔbɛkɔ Yerusalem, ne amane a obehu wɔ Yudafo mpanyin, asɔfo mpanyin ne kyerɛwfo ne akyerɛkyerɛfo no nsam na wɔakum no, na nnansa so no wanyan no mu pefee kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no.
From that time Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day.
22 Petro frɛɛ Yesu kɔɔ nkyɛn na ɔkaa nʼanim se, “Adɛn nti na woka asɛm a ɛte saa! Onyame mpa ngu! Nea woreka yi remma wo so da!”
And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
23 Yesu dan ne ho kaa Petro anim se, “Ɔbonsam, fi me so! Woyɛ hintidua kɛse ma me. Wudwen nnipa adwene na ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn de.”
But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, adversary; you are a snare to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God; but of the things of men.
24 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi a, ɔmpa ne ho akyi, na ɔmma nʼasennua so, na onni mʼakyi.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ogye ne kra nkwa no, ebefi ne nsa, na obiara a me nti, ne kra befi ne nsa no, ne nsa bɛsan aka.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 Na sɛ onipa nya wiase yi mu nneɛma nyinaa na ɔhwere ne kra a, mfaso bɛn na obenya? Dɛn na onipa betumi de asi ne kra anan mu?
For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own life? Or, what will a man give as the ransom of his life?
27 Na me, Onipa Ba no, mɛba wɔ mʼagya anuonyam mu a mʼabɔfo ka me ho na mabebu obiara nneyɛe ho atɛn.
For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every one according to his deeds.
28 “Nokware mise mo sɛ: Mo mu bi renwu kosi sɛ mubehu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔreba nʼahenni mu.”
Verily I say to you, There are some standing here that shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
