Matthew 16
1 Kutu sin mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee su tuku nu yurin Jesus elos kena sruokilya ke kas lal, ouinge elos sap elan oru sie mwe akul lulap nu selos in akkalemye lah God El welul.
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Tusruk Jesus el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Ke pacl se faht uh ac tili uh, kowos fahk mu, ‘Len lutu uh ac wona mweyen srusra pe kusra uh.’
In answer he said. "In the evening you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire’;
3 Ac toang na ke lotutang uh kowos ac fahk mu, ‘Ac afi, mweyen srusra ac lohsrlosr pe kusra uh.’ Kowos ku in palye pacl uh ke kowos liye pe kusra uh, tusruk kowos tia ku in aketeya kalmen akul ma sikyak in pacl inge uh!
and at dawn you say, ‘It will storm today, for the sky is red and lowering.’ You know how to discern the look of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot read.
4 Fuka lupan koluk ac pilesru God lun mwet in pacl inge uh! Ya kowos ke liye sie mwe akul lulap? Mo! Pwayena mwe akul kowos ac liye pa mwe akul su tuh sikyak nu sel Jonah.” Na el fahsr lukelos ac som liki acn sac.
A wicked and faithless generation is seeking a sign, but no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah." So he left them and went away.
5 Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos kalla nu lefahl laco ke lulu uh, elos mulkunla in utuk bread.
When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring bread.
6 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Karinginkowosyang liki mwe pulol lun mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee.”
Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
7 Na elos mutawauk in asiyuki inmasrlolos sifacna ac fahk, “El fahk ma inge mweyen kut mulkunla in utuk bread tuku.”
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any bread."
8 Jesus el etu ma elos fahk uh, na el siyuk selos, “Efu ku kowos sramsram inmasrlowos lah wangin bread yuruwos? Arulana srikla lalulalfongi lowos an!
When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?
9 Ya soenna kalem suwos? Ya kowos tia esam ke nga kunsalik lof limekosr nu sin mwet tausin limekosr ah? Fotoh ekasr kowos tuh nwakla ke luwen mongo ah?
"Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
10 Ac ke lof itkosr nu sin mwet tausin akosr ah? Fotoh ekasr kowos tuh nwakla ah?
"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?
11 Efu ku tia kalem suwos lah nga tia kaskas ke bread? Karinginkowosyang liki mwe pulol lun mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee uh!”
"How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware off the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"
12 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos fah akilenak lah el tia kas in sensenkunulos ke mwe akpulolye bread, a ke mwe luti lun mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee.
Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Jesus el som nu yen ma oan apkuran nu Caesarea Philippi, ac el siyuk sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Mwet uh fahk mu su Wen nutin Mwet uh?”
When Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"
14 Ac elos fahk, “Kutu fahk mu John Baptais, ac kutu mu Elijah, ac kutu fahk mu Jeremiah, ku sie sin mwet palu.”
They replied, "Some say ‘Johnthe Baptist’; others, however, say that’He is Elijah’; others, ‘Jeremiah,’ or ‘One of the Prophets.’"
15 Na el siyuk selos, “Ac kowos, kowos mu su nga uh?”
"And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.
16 Na Simon Peter el topuk ac fahk, “Kom pa Christ, Wen nutin God moul.”
So Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Mwe insewowo nu sum, Simon, wen natul John! Ma pwaye se inge tia fwackyuk nu sum sin kutena mwet, a itukot nu sum sin Papa tumuk inkusrao.
"Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," said Jesus; "for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven!
18 Ke ma inge nga fahk nu sum, kom pa Peter, su kalmac uh pa ‘eot,’ ac fin eot se inge nga ac fah musai church luk; na finne misa, tia pac ku in kunausla. (Hadēs g86)
"Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her. (Hadēs g86)
19 Nga fah sot nu sum key nu ke Tokosrai lun kusrao. Ma kom tia lela fin faclu ac fah tia pac lela inkusrao, ac ma kom lela fin faclu ac fah lela pac inkusrao.”
"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens."
20 Na Jesus el sap mwet tumal lutlut in tiana fahk nu sin kutena mwet lah el pa Christ.
Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
21 In pacl sac lac, Jesus el kaskas kalem na nu sin mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Nga enenu na in som nu Jerusalem ac akkeokyeyuk sin un mwet matu, mwet tol fulat, ac mwet luti Ma Sap uh. Ac fah anwuki nga, tusruktu tukun len tolu, nga fah sifil akmoulyeyukyak.”
After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again.
22 Peter el solalla nu saya, ac mutawauk in kael ac fahk, “God El tia ku in lela in ouingan, Leum! Ma inge tia ku in sikyak nu sum!”
Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."
23 Jesus el forang nu sel Peter ac fahk, “Fahla likiyu, Satan! Kom sie mwe tukulkul nu sik, mweyen nunak lom ingan tia ma tuku sin God me, a ma sin mwet uh.”
But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."
24 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Kutena mwet fin lungse wiyu, el enenu in lafwekunul sifacna, srukak sakseng lal ac fahsr tukuk.
Then Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man wishes to come after me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Tuh el su lungse molela moul lal, ac fah tuhlac lukel; a el su moul lal tuhlac lukel keik, el fah konauk moul lal.
For he who wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
26 Ac tuh mwe mea nu sin sie mwet el fin eis lal faclu nufon, a moul lal tuhlac? Wangin sripa, mweyen wangin ma el ac ku in sang in sifil molela moul lal.
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 Tuh Wen nutin Mwet el apkuran in tuku in wolana lun Papa tumal wi lipufan lal, na el ac fah sang ma lacne nu sin kais sie mwet, fal nu ke orekma lal.
For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, and his angels with him, and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions.
28 Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, oasr kutu sin mwet inge su ac fah tiana misa nwe ke na elos liye ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku in tokosrai lal.”
Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
