Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Mafalisayo ni Masadukayo ŵaajaulile Che Yesu, ni kwa kwalinga ŵaŵendile ŵalosye chimanyisyo kutyochela kwinani.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Lyaikaga ligulo ŵanyamwe nkutinji, ‘Lelo chikulanguche pakuŵa kwiunde kuchejele!’
3 [Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
Ni kuninkucha nkutinji, ‘Lelo mbungo chijipuje, pakuŵa kwiunde kuchejele sooni maunde gagumbele!’ Nipele, ŵanyamwe nkukombola kumanyilila upagwe wa liunde, nambo imanyisyo ya katema kano ngankukombola kuimanyilila.
4 [You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
Uŵelesi wangalumbana ni wangali ni chikulupi ukusosa chimanyisyo, nambo ngaupegwa chimanyisyo ikaŵe chimanyisyo chi che Yona.” Nipele ŵalesile ni kwaula.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵamasile koombochela mbande jine ja litanda, ŵaliji aliŵalile kwigala mikate.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Che Yesu ŵaasalile kuti, “Nlilolechesye ni nligose ni amila ja Mafalisayo ni Masadukayo!”
7 Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
Nambo ŵele ŵanyawo ŵaliji nkuusyana achinsyene pe achitiji, “Akuŵecheta yeleyo pakuŵa nganitujigala mikate.”
8 Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
Che Yesu ŵasimanyilile ng'anisyo syao ni kwasalila, “Ligongo chi nkuusyana mwachinsyene pe, ŵanyamwe ŵa chikulupi chachinandi kuti nganinjigala mikate?
9 (You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
Ana ngankumanyilila atamuno kukumbuchila panagaŵenye mikate tano jila, kwa ŵandu elufu tano ŵala? Ana itundu ilingwa ya mbakatika imwagumbesye?
10 [Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
Pane mikate saba jila jiŵagaŵenye ŵandu elufu nne, ana itundu ilingwa ya mbakatika imwalokotenye?
11 (You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
Uli, ngankumanyilila kuti nganingunguluchilaga mikate? Nambo nlilolechesye ni amila ja Mafalisayo ni Masadukayo!”
12 Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵaimanyilile kuti nganaŵecheta yankati amila ja mikate, nambo majiganyo ga Mafalisayo ni Masadukayo.
13 When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
Che Yesu paŵaiche mmusi wa Kaisalia Filipi, ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Ŵandu akuti Mwana jwa Mundu ali nduni?”
14 We answered, “Some [people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
Ŵajanjile, “Ŵane akuti che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ni ŵane akuti che Elia ni ŵane akuti che Yelemia, pane jumo jwao ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu.”
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Che Yesu ŵaausisye sooni, “Nombe ŵanyamwe nkuti une ndili nduni?”
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Che Simoni Petulo ŵajanjile, “Alakwe ni Kilisito Jwakuwombola, Mwana jwa Akunnungu ŵaali ŵajumi.”
17 Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nkwete upile mmwe che Simoni mwana ju che Yona, pakuŵa ngaŵa mundu jwammunukulile ngani jo, nambo Atati ŵangu ŵaali kwinani.
18 I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
None ngunsalila, mmwe ni che Petulo ni pa lwele lwala lu chindandisye mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni machili ga chiwa ngagaika kuukombola. (Hadēs g86)
19 [Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
None chinampe iugulilo ya Umwenye wa kwinani, ni chachili chose chachinchitaŵe pa chilambo pano, chichiŵe chetaŵikwe kwinani ni chachili chose chachinchigopole pa chilambo pano, chichiŵe chegopolwe kwinani.”
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Nipele ŵakanyisye kwa nnope ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti akansalila mundu kuti ŵelewo ali Kilisito.
21 From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
Chitandile ke katema ko Che Yesu ŵatandite kwalosya pangasisika ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti yaŵajile kwaula ku Yelusalemu ni kweleko chalagaswe ni achachekulu ni ilongola ŵa achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo. Nipele chachiulagwa ni pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chasyuche.
22 [Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
Pelepo che Petulo ŵaajigele Che Yesu pambali ni ŵatandite kwakalipila achitiji, “Ngwamba Ambuje! Ngagansimana gelego!”
23 Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
Nambo Che Yesu ŵagalauchile ni kwasalila che Petulo, “Ntyoche paujo pangu, Shetani! Mmwe nkusiŵila litala paujo pangu, pakuŵa ngankuganisya gagali ga Akunnungu, nambo ga ŵandu!”
24 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Mundu jwakusaka kunguya, alikane nsyene, atwichile nsalaba wakwe, anguye une.
25 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed [because of being my disciples] will live [with God eternally].
Pakuŵa, mundu jwalijose jwakusaka kuukulupusya umi wakwe, chaujase. Nambo mundu jwakuutyosya umi wakwe kwaligongo lyangu, chaukole sooni.
26 People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
Ana mundu chapate chichi akolaga chipanje cha pa chilambo, ali ajasile umi wakwe? Pane mundu chatyosye chichi pamalo pa umi wakwe?
27 [Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu chachiika mu ukulu wa Atatigwe pamo ni achikatumetume ŵakwe ŵa kwinani, pelepo chachinlipa jwalijose malinga ni masengo gao.
28 Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
Ngunsalila isyene, apali ŵane mwa ŵanjimi apano ngaapasya chiwa akanaŵe kummona Mwana jwa Mundu achiikaga ali Mwenye.”
