< Matthew 16 >

1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Lao esa, hambu atahori Farisi hira ro atahori Saduki rema risiꞌ Yesus. Ara rae raselu-bale ro Yesus, fo rae raꞌatutudaꞌ E. Huu naa, ara roꞌe rae, “Pak! Tulun mutudꞌu manadadꞌiꞌ mataꞌ esa dei, fo dadꞌi bukti oi, Pak hambu koasa mia Lamatualain ena.”
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Te Yesus nataa nae, “Mete ma relo mopo ma lalai dulan mbilas, na, hei mihine, mae ‘Mbila na nda udꞌa sa.’
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].
Mete ma relo botiꞌ ata nema no lele nggeoꞌ, hei mihine mae, ‘Faiꞌ ia nae udꞌa.’ Naa, mete ma hei bisa mihine fula-fai ra nenendin, na, taꞌo bee de hei nda mihine leleꞌ ra nenendin sa?
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].
Wou! Aleꞌ ia hei atahori, mihine taoꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ! Hei nda tao afiꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ sa! Mae hei moꞌe manadadꞌiꞌ ra o, Au nda fee sa. Huu maꞌahulun Lamatuaꞌ fee manadadꞌiꞌ nendiꞌ mana ola-olan Yunus. Dadꞌi naa dai ena!” Yesus olaꞌ basa, ma Ana lao hela se.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Leleꞌ Yesus se losa dano a taladꞌan, deidꞌe ana mana tungga nara rasanedꞌa rae, sira liliꞌ rendi roti soaꞌ neu sira lepa-ngges na.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Rena ara olaꞌ raꞌo na, ma Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Hei musi besa-bꞌesa mbali atahori Farisi ro atahori Saduki ra bibꞌit roti na e.”
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!”
Rena taꞌo naa, ma ana mana tungga nara bingun. Ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Toulasiꞌ a olaꞌ saa ia? Mbei ma Ana ola taꞌo naa, huu ata nda tendi roti sa, do?”
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].
Te Yesus nahine dudꞌuꞌa nara. Basa ma, Ana olaꞌ nae, “Weh! Hei ia ra seli tebꞌe ma! Taꞌo bee de hei olaꞌ soꞌal roti! Hei kuran mimihere neu Au, do?
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]!
Hei nda feꞌe mihine Au koasa ngga sa, do? Te faiꞌ na Au bibꞌibi roti bꞌueꞌ lima fo fee atahori rifon lima raa, hei kumbu mala lena nara boa hira?
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]
Boe ma taꞌo bee fai roti hitu fo Au banggi fee neu atahori rifon ka haꞌ ra? Hei kumbu mala lena nara boa hira fai?
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].”
Taꞌo bee de faꞌ ra ama nda mihine Au oꞌola ngga sa? Au nda olaꞌ soꞌal roti sa. Au ae fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu nggi, ama besa-bꞌesa mo atahori Farisi ma Saduki ra nenori nara. Te nenori nara kokoe-nanasi rala atahori hetar, onaꞌ bibꞌit roti tao neu roti fo hene naꞌamoko.”
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.
Yesus olaꞌ taꞌo naa, deidꞌe ara rahine rae, Ana nda olaꞌ soꞌal roti sa. Te Ana olaꞌ soꞌal atahori Farisi ro atahori Saduki ra nenori nara.
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?”
Basa ma, Yesus se laoꞌ reu sia mamanaꞌ mana dekaꞌ no kota Kaisarea Filipi. Sia dalaꞌ taladꞌan, Ana natane se nae, “Tungga atahori oꞌolan, ara rae, Au, naeni Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, seka?”
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].”
Ara rataa rae, “Hambu ruma rae Amaꞌ ia, Yohanis Mana Saraniꞌ a nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Laen fai rae, mbei ma Amaꞌ ia, baꞌi Elia. Laen ra fai oi, baꞌi Yeremia. Mete ma hokoꞌ na, Lamatualain mana ola-olaꞌ laen dalahulun.”
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Boe ma Yesus natane seluꞌ se fai nae, “Mete ma tungga hei, na, Au ia, seka?”
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Boe ma Simon nataa nae, “Amaꞌ ia, Kristus, naeni Atahori fo dalahulun Lamatualain helu-fuli nae haitua nemaꞌ a! Ma Amaꞌ ia, Lamatualain mana nasodꞌa nakandooꞌ a Anan.
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].
Yesus nae, “Simon, Yunus anan, e! Ho ia, nenefee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, o! Huu atahori nda rafadꞌe nggo hal ia sa. Te Au Ama ngga sia sorga mana nafadꞌe.
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)
Rena, e! Aleꞌ ia Au babꞌae naram ‘Petrus’. Naraꞌ naa sosoan naeni, fatu. Huu nemeherem manggateeꞌ onaꞌ fatu, dei fo dadꞌi netehuuꞌ fee neu Au atahori mamahere ngga ra. Mae ara nenepoko-paruꞌ losa mate boe o, ara raꞌatataaꞌ rakandooꞌ a. (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.”
Dei fo Au fee nggo hak, fo mete-seꞌu atahori ra, onaꞌ ho toꞌu lelesu sorga nggoen. Huu saa fo ho ena-ai sia raefafoꞌ ia, Lamatuaꞌ ena-ai sia sorga ena. Ma saa fo ho fee isin sia raefafoꞌ ia, Lamatuaꞌ fee isin sia sorga ena.”
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa, ma Yesus naꞌangge se fo afiꞌ rafadꞌe esa-esa boe rae Eni ia, Kristus.
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.
Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, Yesus nafadꞌe neu ana mana tungga nara nae, “Au musi uu isiꞌ kota Yerusalem. Te dei fo sia naa, Au hambu doidꞌosoꞌ naen seli mia lasi-lasi adat, ma malangga agama Yahudi ra malangga nara, ro basa meser agama ra. Dei fo ara tao risa Au, te finiesan ma Au usodꞌa baliꞌ.”
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!”
Yesus nafadꞌe taꞌo naa ma, Petrus nore nala E nisiꞌ bobꞌoan de ai nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ olaꞌ taꞌo naa! Neꞌo Lamatualain nda hela neu taꞌo naa sa!”
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]!”
Te Petrus oꞌolan, nda tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa. Naa de Yesus heoꞌ mbali e de ai e nae, “Hee! Dinggoꞌ hela mamanaꞌ ia! Naa, nitu ra malanggan oꞌolan! Afiꞌ babꞌaa Au! Ho duꞌa tunggaꞌ a atahori hihii-nanaun, te nda tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa!”
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].
Basa boe ma Yesus nanori ana mana tungga nara nae, “Atahori mana nau tungga Au, eni musi naꞌatataaꞌ nakandoo tungga-tungga fai! Eni musi liliiꞌ hendi hihii-nanaun, fo tunggaꞌ a Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. Mae atahori rae tao risa e o, eni musi tungga nakandooꞌ a, onaꞌ atahori lemba eni hau ngganggen fo neu mate.
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].
Huu atahori mana sadꞌia mate huu eni tungga Au, dei fo ana hambu nasodꞌa nakandoo no Lamatuaꞌ. Te atahori mana nasodꞌa soaꞌ neuꞌ a aon, dei fo masodꞌan, sambu-lalo neuꞌ ena!
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]
Rena, e! Mete ma hambu basa hata-heto raefafoꞌ ia, te Lamatualain nda simbo nggo sa, na, hahambun sa? Mae lemba mendi basa raefafoꞌ isin o, ho nda bisa soi mala ao samanam sa!
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].
Au ufadꞌe basa dalaꞌ ia ra neu nggi, huu Au ia, Atahori Matetuꞌ a. Dei fo Au onda baliꞌ uma endiꞌ Ama ngga koasa manaselin, o ana dedꞌenu nara mia sorga. Leleꞌ naa, dei fo Au bala-bꞌae atahori tungga saa fo ana taoꞌ a.
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!”
Misinedꞌa malolole, e! Mia basa hei ia, dei fo hambu atahori hira nda mate sa, losa faiꞌ bee fo ara rita Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ a, dadꞌi Maneꞌ mana toꞌu parendaꞌ.”
