Matthew 16
1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
Mararah Phirasi nyia Sadusi loong Jisu jiinni wangte loong ah Jisu jeng ah mat et deenjoot suh phate rumta, erah thoidi neng suh epaatjaajih mootkaat noisok baat rumta, heh ah Rangte mina elang tam talangka erah dongjat suh ah.
2 But Jesus answered, ‘In the evening you say “It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.”
Enoothong Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Rangsa lup adi rangtang ah saangdat kano, sen ih liihan, ‘Rang bah rangse ang ajoh, tumeah rangtang ah esaang ela eah.
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!
Eno rangkhano di we liihan, ‘Rangphaatte joh, tumeah rang ah saangtek damdi nakdatla.’ Sen ih rangko ih sok anno rangmi rangphaat emi danjat ehan, enoothong ahaangwa saapoot tiit sin ah sen ih tami punbaat kan!
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.
Ahaangwa mina loong ah tumthan ethih nyia rangmuh ang rumla! Sen ih epaatjaajih noisok kabaat hali? Emah tah angka! Jona ih noisok tahan epaatjaajih ah ba choh an sen ah.” Eno neng jiin nawa dokkhoom kata.
5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
Heliphante loong ah juungsitum jooko ih daan karum adi, neng ih baanlo hui ah beehaat rumta.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, ‘Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
Jisu ih baat rumta, “Phirasi nyia Saddusi loong to nawa pui suh; sen tenthun naririh ih banthun anjoh.”
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
Eno neng jaachi ni waan rumta, “Seng ih phaksat lahui koke no baat hali.”
8 On noticing this, Jesus said, ‘Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
Jisu ih neng waantiit ah jat ano cheng rumta, “Sen phaksat lahui thoidi tume thaam roongwaan lan? Sen tuungmaang ah ehin mamah ang lan!
9 Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
Amadi uh sen ih taba samjat kan? Ngah ih haajaat banga miloong suh baanlo banga jen phe korumtang ah, tanih jen samthun kan? Erah di hedak sen ih hong mathan meesak tan?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
Nyia baanlo lo sinet dowa haajaat baji mina suh mamet kotang? Erah di sen ih hong mathan meesak tan?
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.’
Ngah ih sen suh baanlo tiit labaat et rum taha rah mamah lasamjat ettan? Pharasi nyia Sadusi loong to nawa epui suh sen teeteewah naririh thong ih ban sok an!”
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.
Eno ba heliphante loong ah ih kok samjat rumta heh ih baanlo ni mooktheng to asuh taboh liika, Phirasi nyia Saddusi loong tiitkhaap nyootsoot rumha dowa ah pui tiit boh baat ha eah.
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?’
Jisu Kaiseria Philippi hadaang reeko ih kata, erah di heliphante loong asuh chengta, “Miloong ih Mina Sah asuh o kah ih liirum ah?”
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.’
“Mararah ih Juungtemte Joon et liiha, “neng ih ngaakbaat rumta. “Rukho ih Elija et li ha, rukho ih Jerimia nyia khowah et li ha.”
15 ‘But you,’ he said, ‘who do you say that I am?’
“Sen ih aleh tumjih li hali?” heh ih cheng rumta.
16 To this Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
Simoon Pitar ih ngaakbaatta, “An ah ething Rangte Sah, Kristo.”
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.
“Joona sah Simoon, an raangtaan ah ese!” Jisu ih ngaakbaatta. “Arah amiisak jengkhaap an sak ni mina tajeng raara, Rangmong nawa sengwah ih jeng thuk halu.
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)
Eno ngah ih baat hala Pitar: an ah jong, eno erah jong khoh adoh ngah ih nga chaas ah hoon ang, eno erah etek ih uh tajenka. (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.’
Ngah ih an suh Rangmong hasong saabi ah koha; an ih mongrep nah marah haam uh rangmong nah uh ehaam et ah, nyia mongrep nah an ih marah tamiit ko erah rangmong nah uh tamiitka ang ah.”
20 Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Erah lidi Jisu ih heliphante loong suh heh ah Kristo ih o suh labaat theng ih baat rumta.
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.
Erah sa dowa ih Jisu ih heh tiit ah heliphante loong suh jaatrep dokbaat korumta, “Ngah Jerusalem nah ekaatjih jaatjaat, erah nah ngah ngoong awang nyia romwah phokhoh, nyia Hootthe nyootte loong lak nah rapne ih chamnaang thukte ang halang. “Ngah etek haat et rumhang, enoothong sa jom lidoh we ngaakthing eang.”
22 But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘please God that will never be your fate!’
Pitar ih hiiksiit ano kanjaata. “Teesu, Rangte ih pang et ho!” Heh ih liita, “Erah likhiik an sak nah naktoom taangmaang ha!”
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.’
Jisu ih leksok ano Pitar suh liita, “Soitaan, nga re nawa soon eh uh! An ah nga lam tangte, an tenthun ah Rangte jiin nawa tah angka, mina dang ajang tenthun nawa.”
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.
Eno Jisu ih heliphante loong asuh baatta, “Sen o ang anbah uh nga lih nah roongkhoom thunhan bah, sen ih senteewah ah beehaat jaatjaat etjih, eno sen bangphak ah hui, eno ngah lilih ih roongkhoom jih.
25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
Tumeah sen ih sen teeteewah roidong puipang thun anbah, emat haat et an; enoothong nga tungthoidoh sen roidong ah mat haat anbah, sen ih echojam et an.
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?
Mongrep dowa jaatrep ah choh ano sen roidong ah mat haat anbah tumjih dong choh an? Tumjih tachokan! Sen roidong we ngaak chosuh tumjih uh tajen dong kokan.
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.
Tumeah Mina Sah ah heh Wah rangka damdoh rangsah loong ah siit ano, ngaak ra saapoot ah chang ela, erah doh ba mina loong tumjih re rumta thaang ah kojaha.
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.’
Ngah ih ami tiit baat rumhala amadi arah dung dowa rukho ah maang tek ang an, Mina Sah ah luungwang ih hoon ano raaha ah maang japtuptup ah.”
