Matthew 16
1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
Kutu sin mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee su tuku nu yurin Jesus elos kena sruokilya ke kas lal, ouinge elos sap elan oru sie mwe akul lulap nu selos in akkalemye lah God El welul.
2 But Jesus answered, ‘In the evening you say “It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.”
Tusruk Jesus el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Ke pacl se faht uh ac tili uh, kowos fahk mu, ‘Len lutu uh ac wona mweyen srusra pe kusra uh.’
3 But in the morning you say “Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.” You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!
Ac toang na ke lotutang uh kowos ac fahk mu, ‘Ac afi, mweyen srusra ac lohsrlosr pe kusra uh.’ Kowos ku in palye pacl uh ke kowos liye pe kusra uh, tusruk kowos tia ku in aketeya kalmen akul ma sikyak in pacl inge uh!
4 A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.’ So he left them and went away.
Fuka lupan koluk ac pilesru God lun mwet in pacl inge uh! Ya kowos ke liye sie mwe akul lulap? Mo! Pwayena mwe akul kowos ac liye pa mwe akul su tuh sikyak nu sel Jonah.” Na el fahsr lukelos ac som liki acn sac.
5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos kalla nu lefahl laco ke lulu uh, elos mulkunla in utuk bread.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, ‘Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Karinginkowosyang liki mwe pulol lun mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee.”
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
Na elos mutawauk in asiyuki inmasrlolos sifacna ac fahk, “El fahk ma inge mweyen kut mulkunla in utuk bread tuku.”
8 On noticing this, Jesus said, ‘Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
Jesus el etu ma elos fahk uh, na el siyuk selos, “Efu ku kowos sramsram inmasrlowos lah wangin bread yuruwos? Arulana srikla lalulalfongi lowos an!
9 Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
Ya soenna kalem suwos? Ya kowos tia esam ke nga kunsalik lof limekosr nu sin mwet tausin limekosr ah? Fotoh ekasr kowos tuh nwakla ke luwen mongo ah?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
Ac ke lof itkosr nu sin mwet tausin akosr ah? Fotoh ekasr kowos tuh nwakla ah?
11 How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
Efu ku tia kalem suwos lah nga tia kaskas ke bread? Karinginkowosyang liki mwe pulol lun mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee uh!”
12 Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Na mwet tumal lutlut elos fah akilenak lah el tia kas in sensenkunulos ke mwe akpulolye bread, a ke mwe luti lun mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee.
13 On coming into the region of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question – ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’
Jesus el som nu yen ma oan apkuran nu Caesarea Philippi, ac el siyuk sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Mwet uh fahk mu su Wen nutin Mwet uh?”
14 ‘Some say John the Baptist,’ they answered, ‘Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.’
Ac elos fahk, “Kutu fahk mu John Baptais, ac kutu mu Elijah, ac kutu fahk mu Jeremiah, ku sie sin mwet palu.”
15 ‘But you,’ he said, ‘who do you say that I am?’
Na el siyuk selos, “Ac kowos, kowos mu su nga uh?”
16 To this Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
Na Simon Peter el topuk ac fahk, “Kom pa Christ, Wen nutin God moul.”
17 ‘Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,’ Jesus replied. ‘For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Ac Jesus el fahk, “Mwe insewowo nu sum, Simon, wen natul John! Ma pwaye se inge tia fwackyuk nu sum sin kutena mwet, a itukot nu sum sin Papa tumuk inkusrao.
18 Yes, and I say to you, your name is “Peter” – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)
Ke ma inge nga fahk nu sum, kom pa Peter, su kalmac uh pa ‘eot,’ ac fin eot se inge nga ac fah musai church luk; na finne misa, tia pac ku in kunausla. (Hadēs g86)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.’
Nga fah sot nu sum key nu ke Tokosrai lun kusrao. Ma kom tia lela fin faclu ac fah tia pac lela inkusrao, ac ma kom lela fin faclu ac fah lela pac inkusrao.”
20 Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Na Jesus el sap mwet tumal lutlut in tiana fahk nu sin kutena mwet lah el pa Christ.
21 At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
In pacl sac lac, Jesus el kaskas kalem na nu sin mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Nga enenu na in som nu Jerusalem ac akkeokyeyuk sin un mwet matu, mwet tol fulat, ac mwet luti Ma Sap uh. Ac fah anwuki nga, tusruktu tukun len tolu, nga fah sifil akmoulyeyukyak.”
22 But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘please God that will never be your fate!’
Peter el solalla nu saya, ac mutawauk in kael ac fahk, “God El tia ku in lela in ouingan, Leum! Ma inge tia ku in sikyak nu sum!”
23 Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said, ‘Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as person does.’
Jesus el forang nu sel Peter ac fahk, “Fahla likiyu, Satan! Kom sie mwe tukulkul nu sik, mweyen nunak lom ingan tia ma tuku sin God me, a ma sin mwet uh.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross, and follow me.
Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Kutena mwet fin lungse wiyu, el enenu in lafwekunul sifacna, srukak sakseng lal ac fahsr tukuk.
25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
Tuh el su lungse molela moul lal, ac fah tuhlac lukel; a el su moul lal tuhlac lukel keik, el fah konauk moul lal.
26 What good will it do a person to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? Or what will a person give that is of equal value with his life?
Ac tuh mwe mea nu sin sie mwet el fin eis lal faclu nufon, a moul lal tuhlac? Wangin sripa, mweyen wangin ma el ac ku in sang in sifil molela moul lal.
27 For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s glory, with his angels, and then he will give to everyone what his actions deserve.
Tuh Wen nutin Mwet el apkuran in tuku in wolana lun Papa tumal wi lipufan lal, na el ac fah sang ma lacne nu sin kais sie mwet, fal nu ke orekma lal.
28 I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.’
Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, oasr kutu sin mwet inge su ac fah tiana misa nwe ke na elos liye ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku in tokosrai lal.”
