Matthew 16
1 Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
Mme ka letsatsi lengwe Bafarasai le Basadukai ba tla go leka Jesu mabapi le polelo ya gagwe ya gore ke Mesia ka go mo kopa go ba supegetsa ditshupo dingwe tse di tona mo magodimong.
2 But Jesus answered, ‘In the evening you say “It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.”
A fetola a re, “Lo siame mo go baleng ditshupo tsa seemo sa mawapi; lo a tle lo re bohibidu jwa loapi maitseboeng bo raya seemo se sentle sa mawapi; lo a tle lo re bohibidu jwa loapi maitseboeng ano bo raya seemo se sentle sa loapi ka moso; lo bo lo re loapi lo lo hibidu mo mosong lo raya seemo se se bosula sa loapi motshegare otlhe, mme ga lo kgone go bala ditshupo tse di itlhalosang ka botsone tsa metlha!
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!
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.
Sechaba se se bosula se, se se sa dumeleng se batla tshupo nngwe e e sa tlwaelesegang mo magodimong, mme ga go na sesupo sepe se se tlaa dirwang fa e se mofuta o o neetsweng Jona.” Hong Jesu a tswela kwa ntle a ba tlogela.
5 Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
Erile ba sena go kgabaganya lecha, barutwa ba lemoga gore ba lebetse go tla le dijo.
6 Presently Jesus said to them, ‘Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’
Mme Jesu a ba tlhagisa a re, “Itlhokomeleng! Itiseng mo sebidisong sa Bafarasai le Basadukai.”
7 But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
Ba gopola gore o na a bua jaana ka gore ba ne ba lebetse go tla le senkgwe.
8 On noticing this, Jesus said, ‘Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, you of little faith?
Jesu a ba a itse se ba se akanyang mme a ba raya a re, batho ba tumelo potlana! Ke eng fa lo tshwenyegile jaana ka go tlhoka senkgwe?
9 Don’t you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
A ga lo kitla lo tlhaloganya? A ga lo gakologelwe bontsi jwa batho bo le dikete tse ke di hephileng ka dinkgwe di le tlhano, le diroto tse di neng tsa tlogelwa di tletse masalela? A ga lo gakologelwe dikete tse nne tse ke di hephileng le gotlhe mo go neng ga sala?
10 Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
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.’
Lo ka akanya jang gore ke ne ke bua ka dijo? Mme gape ka re, “Itiseng mo sebidisong sa Bafarasai le Basadukai.”
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.
Hong kwa bofelong ba tlhaloganya gore ka ‘sebidiso’ o na a raya thuto e e sa siamang ya Bafarasai le Basadukai.
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?’
Erile a goroga kwa Kaesarea Filipi, a botsa barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Batho ba re ke mang?”
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.’
Ba fetola ba re, “Bangwe ba re Johane wa Mokolobetsi; bangwe ba re Elija, bangwe ba re Jeremia kgotsa mongwe wa baporofiti ba bangwe.”
15 ‘But you,’ he said, ‘who do you say that I am?’
Hong a ba botsa a re, “Lona lo akanya gore ke mang?”
16 To this Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
Simone Petere a fetola a re, “Keresete Mesia Morwa Modimo o o tshedileng”.
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.
Jesu a mo raya a re, “Modimo o go segofaditse, Simone, morwa Jona. Gonne Rara yo o kwa legodimong ke ene yo o go senoletseng dilo tse ka boene, ga go a tswa mo go ope.
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)
O Petere, lefika, mme ke aga phuthego ya me mo lefikeng le, mme dinonofo tsotlhe tsa molete ga di kitla di e fenya. (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.’
Mme ke tlaa go neela dilotlolo tsa bogosi jwa legodimo, dikgoro dingwe le dingwe tse o di lotlelang mo lefatshing, di tla lotlelwa kwa legodimong; mme dikgoro dingwe le dingwe tse o di lotlololang mo lefatsheng, di tlaa lotlololwa kwa legodimong!”
20 Then he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Hong a laya barutwa gore ba se ka ba bolelela bape fa e le Mesia.
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.
Go tswa foo Jesu a simolola go tlhalosetsa barutwa ba gagwe kaga go ya kwa Jerusalema, le se se tlaa mo diragalelang teng, gore o tlaa boga mo diatleng tsa baeteledipele ba Sejuta, le gore o tla bolawa le gore e tlaa re morago ga malatsi a le mararo a tsosiwe gape.
22 But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘please God that will never be your fate!’
Mme Petere a mo tseela fa thoko go mo kgalemela a mo raya a re, “A mogopolo oo o nyelele Morena. Mo ga go kitla go go diragalela!”
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.’
Jesu a retologela kwa go Petere a re, “Tloga fa go nna, Satane ke wena! O lemena le le diphatsa mo go nna. O akanya ka fa batho ba bonang ka teng, e seng ka fa Modimo o akanyang ka teng.”
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.
Hong Jesu a raya barutwa a re, “Fa motho le fa e le mang a rata go nna molatedi wa me, a a iitatole a tseye mokgoro wa gagwe a ntshale morago.
25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life will find it.
Gonne le fa e le mang yo o ipolokelang botshelo jwa gagwe bo tlaa mo latlhegela; mme le fa e le mang yo o latlhegelwang ke botshelo jwa gagwe ka ntlha ya me o tlaa bo bona gape.
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?
Go na le poelo ya eng fa motho a rua lefatshe lotlhe, mme a latlhegelwa ke botshelo jo bo sa khutleng? Se se ka tshwantshiwang le letlotlo la botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ke eng?
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.
Gonne Nna, Morwa Motho, ke tlaa tla le baengele ba me mo kgalalelong ya ga Rre go atlhola mongwe le mongwe ka fa ditirong tsa gagwe.
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.’
Mme bangwe ba lona ba ba emeng fano jaanong jaana ba tshelela go mpona ke tla mo Bogosing jwa me.”
