Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Mafalisi ni Masadduki chibeza ni kulika Jesu ka kumubuza kuti aba tondeze chisupo chizwa kwiwuli.
2 But he answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
Mi na betaba kuti “chiminemine chezuba ha chisika mu wamba kuti bwikalo bwe wulu mubube hande, kakuti iwulu chili subilile.
3 In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times!
Imi chimeneko mu wamba kuti, “Mazimo ewulu mwabe mabi kakuti kwiwulu busubile.” Mwizi kutoloka zintu zitondezwa mwiwulu, kono ka mwizi kutalusa zitondeza inako.
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” He left them and departed.
Mulahi wa chive ni busangu u saka chitondeza, mi kakwina chitondeza konji Joani.” Linu Jesu cha katuka ku yenda ni kuba siya.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
Balutwana chibakeza kwi ishilya limwi, kono chibazibala kuhinda zinkwe.
6 Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Jesu cha wamba kuti, “mu mamele mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki”.
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
Balutwana chiba kopanya mihupulo ni ku wamba kuti, “kakuti kena tweza ni zinkwa”.
8 Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have brought no bread?
Jesu chaba lemuhite zoose mi chawamba kuti “Inwe be ntumelo inini, cinzi hazeza bulyo mukati kanu ni kutakuti kakuti kena mwahinda zinkwa?
9 Do not you yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up,
Kana muzeza za zinkwa zibali kupanga iyanza, zibakwani bantu bena 5.000, mi zitanda zongayi zi mube zuzi?
10 or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Kapa zinkwa zibena iyanza ni zobele ku bantu ba bena 4.000, mi zongayi zitanda zi mu bahindi?
11 How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Ha mu sazuwisisi chinzi kuti kani wamba nanwe za zinkwa? Mukole ni ku mamela za mulungo wa Mafalisi ni Masadduki.”
12 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.
Linu chiba muzuwisisa kuti kena a talusa za mulungo, kono kumamela intuto ya Mafasi ni Masadduki.
13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
Haho Jesu cha keza ku munzi umwi wa Chaesarea Filipi, chabuza balutwana bakwe, kuti, “Njozuhi bantu u bata kuti nji Mwan'a Muntu?”
14 They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Chibe taba kuti, “bamwi ba wamba kuti njeye Joani yokolobeza, bamwi nji Elija, mi bamwi bati nji Jeremia, kapa zumwi wa bapolofita.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Chati ku bali, “Chwale inwe muti Njemeni?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Chikwe taba Simone Pitrosi cati, “Njewe Keresite, mwan' a we Reza yohala.”
17 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.
Jesu chetaba ni ku muta kuti, “Intohonolo nji yako Simone mwan' a a Joana, kakuti kena inyama kapa malaha, za ku cheniseza, kono nji Tayo wa kwiwulu.
18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades (Hadēs g86) will not prevail against it.
Imi name niti njewe Pitorosi, ibwe hente nizake inkeleke yangu. Milyango ya bafwile kente ni iizunde. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”
Ka ni kuhe inkiyi za mubuso wa kwiwulu. Chonse cho sumina hansi ni kwiwulu kaci suminwe, hape chonse cho sumununa hansi ni kwiwulu muchi sumununwe.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
Linu Jesu chalaela balutwana bakwe kuti kana bawambili ni haike muntu umwina kuti njeye Keresite.
21 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.
Kuzwa heyo inako Jesu, chatanga ku wambila balutwana bakwe kuti cho kutameha kuyenda kwa Jerusalema, mi kusukuluka kakube kungi mu manza a bentanzi, bañoli, ni bakulwana ba mapulisita, kwi haiwe, ni kubuswa kubola ku kuhala mwizuba lya butatu.
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
Linu Pitorosi na mukungwila kwimbali na munyasa nati, “Ichi chintu chibe kule nawe, Simwine, sanzi chitendahali kwako”.
23 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 men.”
Kono Jesu cha chebuka ni kuta Pitorosi, kuti “zwe kwangu, Satani! U chi sitataliso kwangu. Iwe kobilaela ni zintu ze Reeza, kono zintu za buntu.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Linu Jesu cha wamba ku balutwana bakwe, “Heba kwina usaka kuni chilila, uswanela ku lisungula, a hinde chifapano chakwe, ni kuni chilila.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
Muntu yense usaka buhalo bwakwe mwa bu mayiba, kono yo sinyehelwa buhalo bwakwe ke baka lyangu mwa buwane.
26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
Ka chi muhenzi muntu kuti a mune inkanda yonse kono umaninwa buhalo bwakwe? Chinzi muntu cawola kuha kuti a wane buhalo bwa kwe?
27 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.
Mwan' a Muntu mwe ze mwinkanya Yesi ni mañiloyi a kwe. Linu njente ahe muntu ni muntu impo kakuya ka zintu za batendi.
28 Most certainly 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.”
Ikumbya ni mi wambile buniti, kwina bamwi bazimene hanu, kense ni ba bone bakane lufu konji chi ba bona Mwan'a Muntu neza mu mubuso wakwe.
