Mateo 16
1 Ɛda koro bi, Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsɔɔ no hwɛeɛ wɔ frɛ a ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no ho. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi a ɛfiri ɔsoro nkyerɛ wɔn.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monim ewiem nsakraeɛ ho nkyerɛaseɛ. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ, na ewiem yɛ kɔkɔɔ a, moka sɛ ɔkyena ewiem bɛte.
But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
3 Sɛ ɛduru anɔpa na ewiem yɛ kɔkɔɔ a, moka sɛ ewiem rente da mu no nyinaa. Nanso, montumi nkyerɛ mmerɛ mu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ no ase.
In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 Saa ɔman nnebɔneyɛfoɔ a wɔnnye hwee nni yi hwehwɛ sɛ wɔbɛhunu ɛsoro nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi, nanso wɔrenhunu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ foforɔ biara ka anwanwadeɛ a wɔyi kyerɛɛ Yona no ho.” Yesu kaa saa wieeɛ no, ɔgyaa wɔn hɔ kɔeɛ.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.
5 Asuafoɔ no tware kɔɔ asuogya nohoa no, wɔkaee sɛ anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa aduane.
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yie wɔ Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ nyaatwom a ɛte sɛ mmɔreka no ho.”
Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 Asuafoɔ no susuu sɛ gyama wɔnkura aduane biara no enti na Yesu kaa saa.
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8 Yesu hunuu deɛ wɔdwennwene no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo a mo gyidie sua! Adɛn na ɛha mo sɛ moamfa aduane?
But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
9 Enti, morente aseɛ da? Mo werɛ afiri burodo enum a mebubuu mu maa nnipa mpemnum no ne aseɛ mporoporowa nkɛntɛmma a ɛkaeɛ no?
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Mo werɛ asane afiri burodo nson a mede maa nnipa mpemnan ne deɛ ɛkaeɛ no?
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Adɛn enti na modwene sɛ aduane ho asɛm na mereka akyerɛ mo? Meresane aka bio sɛ, ‘Monhwɛ mo ho yie wɔ Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ mmɔreka ho.’”
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12 Afei, asuafoɔ no tee deɛ ɔkaeɛ no ase sɛ, Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ mmɔreka ho asɛm a ɔreka akyerɛ no yɛ Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne bi no ho asɛm na ɔreka.
Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Ɛberɛ a Yesu baa Kaesarea Filipi fam no, ɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Nnipa ka sɛ Onipa Ba no ne hwan?”
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
14 Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ebinom se wone Yohane Osubɔni. Ebinom nso se Elia. Afoforɔ nso se wone Yeremia anaa adiyifoɔ no mu baako.”
They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 Afei, Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ “Na mo nso, mose mene hwan?”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Simon Petro buaa no sɛ, “Wone Kristo no, Onyankopɔn Teasefoɔ no Ba no!”
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ahyira wo, Yona ba Simon. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnyɛ onipa na ɔyii yei kyerɛɛ wo, na mmom, mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no.
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Wone Petro, Ɔbotan, na ɔbotan yi so na mede mʼasafo bɛsie, na tumi a ɛwɔ ɔbonsam gyam no rentumi mmubu no da. (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Mede Ɔsoro Ahennie no nsafoa bɛma wo, na ɛpono biara a wobɛto mu wɔ asase so no, wɔbɛto mu wɔ ɔsoro; na ɛpono biara a wobɛbue wɔ asase so no, wɔbɛbue wɔ ɔsoro!”
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
20 Afei, Yesu bɔɔ nʼasuafoɔ no ano sɛ wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no.
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
21 Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Yesu hyɛɛ aseɛ kaa kɔ a ɔbɛkɔ Yerusalem, ne amaneɛ a ɛbɛto no wɔ hɔ wɔ Yudafoɔ mpanin, asɔfoɔ mpanin ne twerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no nsam na wɔakum no, na nnansa so no wanyane no ho asɛm pefee kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no.
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 Petro frɛɛ Yesu kɔɔ nkyɛn na ɔkaa nʼanim sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woka asɛm a ɛte saa! Onyame mpa ngu! Deɛ woreka yi remma wo so da!”
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
23 Yesu danee ne ho kaa Petro anim sɛ, “Ɔbonsam, firi me so! Woyɛ suntidua kɛseɛ ma me. Wodwene nnipa adwene na ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn deɛ.”
But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."
24 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi a, ɔmpa ne ho akyi, na ɔmma nʼasɛnnua so, na ɔnni mʼakyi.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔgye ne ɔkra nkwa no, ɛbɛfiri ne nsa, na obiara a me enti, ne ɔkra bɛfiri ne nsa no, ne nsa bɛsane aka.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 Na sɛ onipa nya ewiase yi mu nneɛma nyinaa na ɔhwere ne ɔkra a, mfasoɔ bɛn na ɔbɛnya? Ɛdeɛn na onipa bɛtumi de asi ne ɔkra ananmu?
For what will it profit a person, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
27 Na me, Onipa Ba no, mɛba wɔ mʼagya animuonyam mu a mʼabɔfoɔ ka me ho na mabɛbu obiara nneyɛeɛ ho atɛn.
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
28 “Nokorɛ mese mo sɛ: Mo mu bi renwu kɔsi sɛ mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔreba nʼahennie mu.”
Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
