Matthai 16
1 Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducees rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Vaan lamkah miknoek te amih tueng ham a dawt uh tih a loepdak uh.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Hlaem a pha vaengah vaan ke khopang a ling dongah Khothen ni na ti uh.
But in answer He said to them: “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red’;
3 Vaan ke Mincang ah hmuep tih a ling dongah, Tihnin ah khonal ni na ti uh. Vaan kah a hmuethma ngawn tah boelhkhoeh ham na ming uh dae a tuetang kah miknoek tah na ming uh thai moenih.
and in the morning, ‘Today will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 Boethae neh samphaih cadil loh miknoek a kuek, tedae Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek m'pae mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih te a hnoo tih vik cet.
A malignant and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind He went away.
5 Tedae rhalvangan la a caeh uh vaengah hnukbang rhoek loh buh khuen ham a hnilh uh.
Upon arriving at the other side His disciples had forgotten to take bread.
6 Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah tolrhu ke hmat uh lamtah ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 Tedae amih tah amamih khuiah thui uh thae tih, “Buh n'khuen uh pawt tih,” a ti uh.
So they reasoned among themselves saying, “It's because we didn't bring any bread.”
8 Tedae Jesuh loh a ming vaengah, “Uepvawt rhoek aw, balae tih buh na khueh uh pawt te namamih khuiah na thuingong uh?
But Jesus, being aware, said to them: “You little-faiths! Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you didn't bring any bread?
9 Na yakming uh hlan a? Vaidam panga te thawngnga cung tih voh dongah muep na phueih te na poek uh moenih a?
Do you not yet perceive nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?
10 Vaidam parhih te thawngli loh cung uh tih voh dongah muep na khuen uh moenih a?
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many hampers you took up?
11 Balae tih na yakming uh pawh, Nangmih taengah buh kawng te ka thui moenih. Tedae Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah tolrhu mah ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
How come you don't perceive that it wasn't about bread that I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
12 Vaidam khuikah tolrhu ngaithuen ham a thui moenih, Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah thuituennah ni tila a hmuhming uh.
Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Jesuh tah Kaisarea Philipi pingpang la a pawk vaengah a hnukbang rhoek te a dawt tih, “Hlang rhoek loh Hlang Capa he ulae a ti uh?” a ti nah.
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi He questioned His disciples saying, “Who do people say that I, the Son of the Man, am?”
14 Te vaengah amih loh, “A ngen loh tuinuem Johan, pakhat loh Elijah, a tloe rhoek loh Jeremiah neh tonghma khat khat a ti uh,” a ti na uh.
So they said, “Some say John the Baptizer, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 Amih te khaw, “Tedae nangmih loh, kai he ulae na ti uh?” a ti nah.
He says to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter loh a doo tih, “Nang tah aka hing Pathen Capa Khrih ni,” a ti nah.
So in answer Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!”
17 Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih “Simon Barjonah tah, yoethen la na om coeng. Pumsa neh thii nen pawt tih vaan kah a Pa loh nang taengah a phoe coeng.
And in answer Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in the heavens.
18 Te dongah kai loh nang te, “Nang tah Peter ni. Te dongah hekah lungpang soah hlangboel te ka thoh vetih saelkhui vongka loh noeng mahpawh. (Hadēs g86)
And I further say to you that you are a stone, but on this bedrock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not withstand her. (Hadēs g86)
19 Vaan ram kah cabi te nang taengah kan paek ni. Te dongah diklai ah na pin te tah vaan ah pin la om ni. Tedae diklai ah na hlam te tah vaan ah hlam la om ni,’ ka ti,” a ti nah.
And I will give you (sg) the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in the heavens.”
20 Te phoeiah, 'Jesuh tah Khrih ni,’ tila thui pawt ham hnukbang te ol a paek.
Then He ordered His disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.
21 Te vaeng lamloh Jesuh tah Jerusalem la cet tih a ham rhoek, khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek kah nganboh muep yook ham neh, a ngawn phoeikah hnin thum ah a thoh ham a kuek te a hnukbang rhoek taengah koe a thuicaih.
From then on Jesus began to show to His disciples that He had to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
22 Te vaengah Peter loh a sim doela koe a mawt tih, “Boeipa nang te poekpoei rhola a ti mai mako, he tah nang taengah om loengloeng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
So taking Him aside Peter began to rebuke Him saying: “Mercy to you, Lord! This shall not happen to you!”
23 Tedae Peter te a mael thil tih, “Satan, kai hnukla nong, kai ham thangkui la na om. Na poek te Pathen kah hno pawt tih hlang kah hno ni,” a ti nah.
But turning He said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not mindful of God's values, but of men's values.”
24 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek te, “Khat khat long ni ka hnukah lo ham a ngaih atah, amah te huek uh saeh lamtah a thinglam a koh doeah kai m'vai saeh.
Then Jesus said to His disciples: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him really deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 A hinglu te khang ham aka ngaih tah poci ni. Tedae kai kongah a hinglu aka hlong tah te te a dang ni.
For whoever desires to save his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life on my account will find it.
26 Hlang loh Diklai he boeih a pang dae a hinglu a hlong atah balae a hoeikhang eh? Hlang loh amah kah hinglu ham balae tlansum la a phai eh?
For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27 Te dongah Hlang Capa loh a napa kah thangpomnah neh, amah kah puencawn rhoek ham pawk puei vaengah hlang te a khoboe bangla rhip a thuung van ni.
For the Son of the Man will certainly come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will recompense each according to his performance.
28 Te phoeiah amih te “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui hekah aka pai khuiah hlangvang om. Amih loh thaomnah neh aka pai Pathen ram te a ming uh hlan atah dueknah he ten uh mueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Assuredly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of the Man coming in His kingdom.”
