UMathewu 16
1 AbaFarisi labaSadusi sebezile, bemlinga bamcela ukuthi abatshengise isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini.
Sai Farisawa da Sadukiyawa suka zo su gwada shi suka roke shi ya nuna masu alama daga sama.
2 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Kusihlwa lithi: Umkhathi muhle; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu;
Amma ya amsa ya ce masu, “Lokacin da yamma ta yi, sai ku ce, 'Za a yi yanayi mai kyau, domin sama ta yi ja,'
3 lekuseni lithi: Umkhathi mubi lamuhla; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu sinyukubele. Bazenzisi, liyakwazi ukwehlukanisa umumo wesibhakabhaka; kodwa izibonakaliso zezikhathi lingeke yini?
Kuma da safe ku ce, 'Zai zama yanayi mara kyau a yau, domin sama ta yi ja ta kuma gama gari, kun san yadda za ku bayyana kammanin sararin sama, amma ba ku iya bayyana alamun lokaci ba.
4 Isizukulwana esibi lesifebayo sidinga isibonakaliso; kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. Wasebatshiya, wahamba.
Mugun zamani, maciya amana suna neman alama, amma babu wata alama da za a nuna sai ta Yunusa.” Daga nan sai Yesu ya tafi.
5 Sebefikile ngaphetsheya abafundi bakhe babekhohliwe ukuthatha izinkwa.
Almajiran suka zo daga wancan gefe, amma sun manta su dauki gurasa,
6 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Nanzelelani liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
Yesu ya ce masu, “Ku kula ku kuma mai da hankali da yisti na Farisawa da Sadukiyawa.”
7 Basebekhulumisana besithi: Ngoba singathathanga izinkwa.
Sai almajiran suka fara magana da junansu suka ce, “Ko saboda bamu kawo gurasa bane.”
8 UJesu esekwazi wathi kubo: Lina abokholo oluncinyane, kungani likhulumisana ngokuthi alithathanga izinkwa?
Yesu yana sane da wannan sai ya ce, “Ku masu karancin bangaskiya, don me ku ke magana a tsakaninku cewa ko don bamu kawo gurasa bane?
9 Kalikaqedisisi yini, futhi kalikhumbuli izinkwa ezinhlanu zenkulungwane ezinhlanu, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
Ba ku gane ko tuna da gurasa guda biyar da aka ciyar da mutum dubu biyar, kuma kwando nawa kuka tara ba?
10 Futhi lezinkwa eziyisikhombisa zenkulungwane ezine, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
Ko gurasa bakwai ga mutum dubu hudu, da kuma kwanduna nawa kuka dauka ba?
11 Kaliqedisisi njani, ukuthi bekungemayelana lesinkwa ebengikukhuluma kini ukuthi liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi?
Yaya kuka kasa fahimta cewa ba game da gurasa nake yi maku magana ba? Ku yi hankali ku kuma lura da yistin Farisawa da Sadukiyawa.”
12 Basebeqedisisa ukuthi katshongo ukuthi baqaphele imvubelo yezinkwa, kodwa imfundiso yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
Sa'annan suka fahimta cewa ba yana gaya masu su yi hankali da yistin da ke cikin gurasa ba ne, amma sai dai su yi lura da koyarwar Farisawa da Sadukiyawa.
13 Kwathi uJesu esefikile kungxenye zeKesariya yeFiliphu wababuza abafundi bakhe, esithi: Abantu bathi, mina, iNdodana yomuntu, ngingubani?
A lokacin da Yesu ya zo yankin Kaisariya Filibbi, ya tambayi almajiransa, cewa, “Wa mutane ke cewa Dan Mutum yake?
14 Basebesithi: Abanye bathi: NguJohane uMbhabhathizi; labanye bathi: NguElija; labanye bathi: NguJeremiya, kumbe ngomunye wabaprofethi.
Suka ce, “Wadansu suna cewa Yahaya mai baftisma; wadansu Iliya, saura suna cewa Irmiya, ko daya daga cikin annabawa.”
15 Wathi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani?
Ya ce masu, “Amma ku wa kuke ce da ni?”
16 USimoni Petro wasephendula wathi: Wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
Sai Saminu Bitrus ya amsa ya ce, “Kai ne Almasihu, Dan Allah mai rai.”
17 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe, Simoni ndodana kaJona, ngoba inyama legazi kakukwembulelanga lokhu, kodwa uBaba osemazulwini.
Yesu ya amsa ya ce masa, “Mai albarka ne kai, Saminu dan Yunusa, don ba nama da jini ba ne ya bayyana maka wannan, amma Ubana wanda ke cikin sama.
18 Lami-ke ngiyakutshela, ukuthi wena unguPetro; laphezu kwalelidwala ngizalakha ibandla lami, lamasango esihogo kawayikulehlula. (Hadēs g86)
Ina kuma gaya maka cewa kai ne Bitrus, a kan wannan dutse zan gina ikilisiya ta. Kofofin hades ba za su yi nasara da ita ba. (Hadēs g86)
19 Futhi ngizakunika izihluthulelo zombuso wamazulu; njalo loba yini ozayibopha emhlabeni, izakuba ibotshiwe emazulwini; njalo loba yini ozayithukulula emhlabeni, izakuba ithukululwe emazulwini.
Zan ba ka mabudan mulkin sama. Duk abin da ka kulla a duniya zai zama abin da an kulla a cikin sama, kuma duk abinda ka warware a duniya a warware yake cikin sama,”
20 Wasebalayisisa abafundi ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ukuthi yena unguJesu onguKristu.
Sai Yesu ya umarci almajiransa kada su gaya wa kowa cewa shi ne Almasihu.
21 Kusukela kulesosikhathi uJesu waqala ukubatshengisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi umele ukuya eJerusalema, njalo ahlupheke okunengi ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, abulawe, avuswe ngosuku lwesithathu.
Daga lokacin nan Yesu ya fara gaya wa almajiransa cewa dole ne ya tafi Urushalima, ya sha wahala mai yawa a hannun dattawa, da manyan firistoci da malaman attaura, a kashe shi, a tashe shi zuwa rai a rana ta uku.
22 UPetro wasesiya laye eceleni waqala ukumkhuza esithi: Kakungabi kuwe, Nkosi; lokhu kakusoze kwenziwa kuwe.
Sai Bitrus ya kai shi a gefe ya tsauta masa, cewa, “Wannan ya yi nesa da kai, Ubangiji; wannan ba zai taba faruwa da kai ba.”
23 Kodwa yena watshibilika wathi kuPetro: Suka ngemva kwami, Sathane, uyisikhubekiso kimi; ngoba kawucabangi izinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezabantu.
Amma Yesu ya juya ya ce wa Bitrus, “Ka koma bayana, Shaidan! Kai sanadin tuntube ne gare ni, domin ba ka damuwa da abubuwan da suke na Allah, amma sai abubuwan mutane.”
24 UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.
Sa'annan Yesu ya ce wa almajiransa, “Duk wanda yake so ya bi ni, lallai ne ya ki kansa, ya dauki gicciyensa, ya bi ni.
25 Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola;
Domin duk wanda yake so ya ceci ransa zai rasa shi. Duk wanda ya rasa ransa domina zai same shi.
26 ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu nxa ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe? Kumbe umuntu uzanikani kube lihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe?
Domin wace riba mutum zai samu in ya sami dukan duniya ya rasa ransa? Me mutum zai iya bayarwa a maimakon ransa?
27 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izakuza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye lengilosi zayo, khona izavuza ngulowo lalowo njengokwenza kwakhe.
Domin Dan Mutum zai zo ne cikin daukakar Ubansa tare da mala'ikunsa. Sa'annan ne zaya biya kowane mutum bisa ga ayyukansa.
28 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze bayibone iNdodana yomuntu isiza embusweni wayo.
Gaskiya ina gaya maku, akwai wadansun ku da ke tsaye a nan, da ba za su dandana mutuwa ba sai sun ga Dan Mutum na zuwa cikin mulkinsa.”
