< Matthew 16 >

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Nimb’ama’e mb’eo o Fariseo naho Tsadokeo han­tsaka fañahy aze, hanolora’e viloñe boak’ andindiñe ao.
2 But he answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Ry soa­miatrekeo, Ie hariva, anoe’areo ty hoe: Kanao mena i like­rañey, hazava ty hamaray,
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 can’t discern the signs of the times!
ie maraindray, hoe nahareo: Ho avy anito i orañey fa milodolodo i like­rañey. Ie fohi’ areo o fañè ty tarehe’ i likerañeio, akore te tsy rendre’ areo ty lili’ o sà-o.
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.
Mipay viloñe ty tariratse tsereheñe toy, fe tsy hitoloram-biloñe naho tsy ty vilo’ i Jona mpitoky; vaho nisitake re, nienga mb’eo.
5 The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
Ie nivotrake añ’olon-driake eo t’i Iesoà le hoe re amo mpiama’eo, Halankaño mofo, vaho nijon-dakañe mindre amo mpiama’eo, fe nihaliño o mpiama’eo ty hivaty mofo.
6 Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
8 Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have brought no bread?
le hoe t’ Iesoà am’iereo: Ino ty itsakorea’areo te tsy nivaty mofo?
9 Don’t you yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up,
Tsy tiahi’ areo hao i mofo limey naho i lahilahy efats’ arivo rey vaho ty hamaro’ o mozete nisisao?
10 or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
ndra i mofo fito’ indaty efats’arivo rey, naho ty hamaro i haron-kiseñe rinambe’areo rezay?
11 How is it that you don’t perceive that I didn’t speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Aa le maharendreha te tsy mofo sotra i vinolakoy fe inao ty itaroñako: Itaò ty sata’ o Fariseo naho Tsadokeo.
12 Then they understood that he didn’t tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Aa le napota’iareo te tsy ty lalivay mofo i nitsarae’ey, fa ty fañanara’ o Fariseoo naho o Tsadokeo.
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?”
Ie nandoake an-tane Siria naho an-tane’ Filofe añe t’i Iesoà, le hoe ty ontane’e amo mpiama’eo: Ino ty saontsie’ ondatio ahy?
14 They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Le hoe iereo ama’e: Ty ila’e: i Jaona Mpandipotse; ty ila’e, i Elia; vaho ty ila’e, i Jere­mia’ ndra ty raike amo mpitokio.
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Aa hoe t’i Iesoà tam’ iereo: Ia ka ty anoe’ areo ahy?
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Tinoi’ i Simona ty hoe: Ihe i Norizañey, Anak’ Andrianañahare veloñe nivotrake ami’ty voatse toy.
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.
Hoe t’i Iesoà tama’e: Haha rehe Simona Ana’ i Jaona amy te tsy nofotse naho lio ty nampibentatse ama’o fa t’i Raeko andindìñe ao.
18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Hoe raho ama’o: Vongam-bato rehe, naho haoreko ami’ty lamilamy toy ty anjombam-pitalahoako. ze tsy hahafitroara’ o lalam-bein-tsikeokeokeo. (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.”
Le hatoloko azo i lahin-dakilem-pifehean-dikerañey; ze fehè’o an-tane atoy le fa nifeheñe an­dindìñe ao, vaho ze hahà’o an-tane atoy le fa nihahàñe andindìñ’ao.
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
Hinatahata’e amy zao o mpiama’eo ty tsy hita­lily am’ondatio te ie i Norizañey.
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.
Namototse nampalange amo mpiama’eo amy zao t’Iesoà t’ie tsy mahay tsy homb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo hijale ami’ty hatsivokara’ ty maro boak’ amo mpisoroñeo naho amo roandria’ ondatio ampara’ te havetrake, f’ie hatroatse ami’ty andro faha-telo.
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
Natola’ i Petera le nendaha’e ami’ty hoe: Lonike te ho lavits’ Azo izay, Talè
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.”
Nitolike t’i Iesoà, le nitala­hara’e naho nanao ty hoe: Soike, ty mpañìnje, ko zehare’o; tsy haoñe’o ty tsaran’ Añahare, fa o reha’ ondatio.
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.
Le hoe t’i Iesoà amo mpi­ama’eo: Ze te hañorik’ ahy, soa re te hitety vatañe, hijiny i hatae ajaley, toe hamoe aiñe, vaho hañorik’ ahy.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
Ze te handrombake ty fiai’e ro hamoe aze ty amako, fe ze mamoe ty havelo’e ami’ty voatse toy ty amako ro handrombake aze ho ami’ty havelo’ ty voatse ho avy.
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?
Ino ty tombo’e ho a ondatio te fonga azo’e ty voatse toy, vaho mamoe’ay kitro katroke? Fampitsalohañe soa ho a ondatio hao ty hahazoa’e o raha momoke henaneo, hanolora’e ty fiai’e hizakà’ i tsikeokeokey?
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.
Fa hitotsake atoy i Anan’ Añaharey ami’ty engen-dRae’e an-dindiñe ao rekets’ o anjeli’eo hanambe ondatio sindre ty amo sata’eo.
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.”
Eka! to t’itaroñako te, tsy handia havilasy o ila’e mijohañe etoañe, ampara’ te isa’ iareo mitots­ake eo i Anak’ Andrianañaharey am-pifehea’ey ao.
