Matthew 16
1 And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadduccees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.
Ba Falisi aba Sadusi bakeza mpawo bamusunka akumubuzya kuti abatondezye chitondezyo chizwa kujulu.
2 But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.
Pesi wakasandula akwamba kuti kuli mbabo, “Nikwasiya, mwamba kuti, 'Kuyoba kunze kubotu, nkambo ijulu lilasalala.'
3 And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?
Nikuba chifuma, mwamba kuti, 'Kunze kunoli kubi, nkambo ijulu lilasalala alimwi lilivumbidwe. Mulizi kupandulula bwime bwakujulu, pesi tamukonzyi kupandulula zitondezyo zyazyiindi.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.
Izyalane ibbi abwamu lilangula chitondezyo, pesi takwe chitondezyo chiyopegwa kulindilyo kutaamba chitondezyo cha Jona.” Mpawo, Jesu wakabasiya akutozya kumbi.
5 And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread.
Basikwiya nibakasika mutala, bakalubide kubweza chinkwa.
6 Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Amubone akuchenjela kubumena bwaba Falisi aba Sadusi.”
7 But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.
Elyo basikwiya bakabuzyanya akwamba kuti, nkambo tetwabweza pe chinkwa.”
8 And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?
Jesu wakaziba achechi mpawo wakati, “Nywebo nubasilusyomo lunini, nkambonzi mulabuzyania lwanu mpawo mulati nkambo tetwabweza pe chinkwa?
9 Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
Tamuna kuziba na kwibaluka zinkwa zili musanu kulibali zyuulu zili musanu, alimwi kuti mwakabungika nsangwa zyongane?
10 Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
Na zinkwa zili musanu aazibili kuzyuulu zine, alimwi kuti ninsangwa zyongane nzimwakabungika?
11 Why do you not understand that it was not concerning the bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
Ino nkambonzi kuti tamumvwisisyi kuti tendakalikwamba kulindinywe aatala achinkwa? Aamubone akuchenjela kubumena bwaba Falisi aba Sadusi.”
12 Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Mpawo bakamvwisya kuti takali kubambila kuti bachenjele bumena bwakali bwachinkwa pe, pesi kuti bachenjelele injisyo zyaba Falisi aba Sadusi.
13 And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?
Lino Jesu nakasika kuzisi zili kufwifwi aa Kkayisaliya Filipi, wakabuzya basikwiya bakwe, wati, “Ino bantu bati Mwana aa Muntu ngwani?
14 But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
Bakati, “Bamwi bakwamba kuti nduwe Joni mubbabbatizyi; bamwi bati, Elayija; alimwi bamwi bakuti, Jelemiya, na umbi wabasinsimi.”
15 Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?
Wakati kulimbabo, “Pesi nywebo mundamba kuti ndimeni?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.
Sayimoni Pita wakasandula wati, “Nduwe Kkilisito Mwana wa Leza uupona.”
17 And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “Uli aacholwe, Sayimoni mwana a Jona, nkambo nyama abulowa teensi nzizyo zyakuyubunwida eezi, pesi Taata wangu uli kujulu.
18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Alimwi ambebo ndamba kuti kulinduwe nduwe Pita, mpawo aatala amwaala ooyu ndiyoyaka mbungano yangu. Milyango yazibunda tikozokuzunda. (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
Ndiyokupa zijaluzyo zyabwami bwakujulu. Kufumbwa nchotakaange aansi chiyosungwa akujulu, alimwikufumbwa nchotakangunune aansi chiyosungununwa aakujulu.”
20 Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
Mpawo Jesu wakalayilila basikwiya kuti batakaambili naba umwi kuti wakali Kkilisito.
21 From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.
Kuzwa kuchindi echo Jesu wakatalika kwambila basikwiya bakwe kuti welede kwinka ku Jelusalema, kuyopengela zinti zyingi kumaanza abapati abapayizi bapati abalembi, kujayigwa, akubusigilwa kubuumi kubuzuba bwatatu.
22 And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee.
Mpawo Pita wakamubweza akumutola kiumbali akumuchibula, wati, “Eezi azibe kule anduwe, Mwami; eezi zitazochitiki kulinduwe.”
23 Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
Pesi Jesu wakachebuka akwamba kuli Pita kuti, “Zwaawa kusule lyangu, Satani! Uli chilebyo kulindime, nkambo toyeeyi atala azintu zya Leza, pesi ataala aazintu zyabantu.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kuli basikwiya bakwe, “Na muntu kayanda kunditobela, aalilube lwakwe, abweze chiingano chakwe mpawo anditobele.
25 For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
Nkambo kufumbwa uyanda kufutula buumi bwakwe uyobuswekelwa, alimwi kufumbwa uswekelwa buumi bwakwe nkambo kandime uyobujana.
26 For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?
Nkambo chigwasyanzi kumuntu kuvuba nyika yoonse pesi akaswekelwe buumi? Ninzi nchakonzya kupa muntu muchibaka chabuumi bwakwe?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.
Nkambo Mwana muntu uyoboola mubulemju bwa Wisi abangelo bakwe. Mpawo uyolumbula muntu umwi awumwi mbuli milimo yakwe.
28 Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Chakasimpe ndamwambila kuti, mpubali bamwi benu bayiimvwi ano batakwe nibayolabila lufu mane lumwi bakabone Mwana aa Muntu kaboola mubwami bwakwe.”
