UMathewu 16
1 AbaFarisi labaSadusi sebezile, bemlinga bamcela ukuthi abatshengise isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini.
Ɛda koro bi, Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsɔɔ no hwɛeɛ wɔ frɛ a ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no ho. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi a ɛfiri ɔsoro nkyerɛ wɔn.
2 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Kusihlwa lithi: Umkhathi muhle; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu;
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monim ewiem nsakraeɛ ho nkyerɛaseɛ. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ, na ewiem yɛ kɔkɔɔ a, moka sɛ ɔkyena ewiem bɛte.
3 lekuseni lithi: Umkhathi mubi lamuhla; ngoba isibhakabhaka sibomvu sinyukubele. Bazenzisi, liyakwazi ukwehlukanisa umumo wesibhakabhaka; kodwa izibonakaliso zezikhathi lingeke yini?
Sɛ ɛduru anɔpa na ewiem yɛ kɔkɔɔ a, moka sɛ ewiem rente da mu no nyinaa. Nanso, montumi nkyerɛ mmerɛ mu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ no ase.
4 Isizukulwana esibi lesifebayo sidinga isibonakaliso; kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. Wasebatshiya, wahamba.
Saa ɔman nnebɔneyɛfoɔ a wɔnnye hwee nni yi hwehwɛ sɛ wɔbɛhunu ɛsoro nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi, nanso wɔrenhunu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ foforɔ biara ka anwanwadeɛ a wɔyi kyerɛɛ Yona no ho.” Yesu kaa saa wieeɛ no, ɔgyaa wɔn hɔ kɔeɛ.
5 Sebefikile ngaphetsheya abafundi bakhe babekhohliwe ukuthatha izinkwa.
Asuafoɔ no tware kɔɔ asuogya nohoa no, wɔkaee sɛ anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa aduane.
6 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Nanzelelani liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yie wɔ Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ nyaatwom a ɛte sɛ mmɔreka no ho.”
7 Basebekhulumisana besithi: Ngoba singathathanga izinkwa.
Asuafoɔ no susuu sɛ gyama wɔnkura aduane biara no enti na Yesu kaa saa.
8 UJesu esekwazi wathi kubo: Lina abokholo oluncinyane, kungani likhulumisana ngokuthi alithathanga izinkwa?
Yesu hunuu deɛ wɔdwennwene no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo a mo gyidie sua! Adɛn na ɛha mo sɛ moamfa aduane?
9 Kalikaqedisisi yini, futhi kalikhumbuli izinkwa ezinhlanu zenkulungwane ezinhlanu, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
Enti, morente aseɛ da? Mo werɛ afiri burodo enum a mebubuu mu maa nnipa mpemnum no ne aseɛ mporoporowa nkɛntɛmma a ɛkaeɛ no?
10 Futhi lezinkwa eziyisikhombisa zenkulungwane ezine, lokuthi labutha izitsha ezingaki?
Mo werɛ asane afiri burodo nson a mede maa nnipa mpemnan ne deɛ ɛkaeɛ no?
11 Kaliqedisisi njani, ukuthi bekungemayelana lesinkwa ebengikukhuluma kini ukuthi liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi labaSadusi?
Adɛn enti na modwene sɛ aduane ho asɛm na mereka akyerɛ mo? Meresane aka bio sɛ, ‘Monhwɛ mo ho yie wɔ Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ mmɔreka ho.’”
12 Basebeqedisisa ukuthi katshongo ukuthi baqaphele imvubelo yezinkwa, kodwa imfundiso yabaFarisi labaSadusi.
Afei, asuafoɔ no tee deɛ ɔkaeɛ no ase sɛ, Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ mmɔreka ho asɛm a ɔreka akyerɛ no yɛ Farisifoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne bi no ho asɛm na ɔreka.
13 Kwathi uJesu esefikile kungxenye zeKesariya yeFiliphu wababuza abafundi bakhe, esithi: Abantu bathi, mina, iNdodana yomuntu, ngingubani?
Ɛberɛ a Yesu baa Kaesarea Filipi fam no, ɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Nnipa ka sɛ Onipa Ba no ne hwan?”
14 Basebesithi: Abanye bathi: NguJohane uMbhabhathizi; labanye bathi: NguElija; labanye bathi: NguJeremiya, kumbe ngomunye wabaprofethi.
Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ebinom se wone Yohane Osubɔni. Ebinom nso se Elia. Afoforɔ nso se wone Yeremia anaa adiyifoɔ no mu baako.”
15 Wathi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani?
Afei, Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ “Na mo nso, mose mene hwan?”
16 USimoni Petro wasephendula wathi: Wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
Simon Petro buaa no sɛ, “Wone Kristo no, Onyankopɔn Teasefoɔ no Ba no!”
17 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe, Simoni ndodana kaJona, ngoba inyama legazi kakukwembulelanga lokhu, kodwa uBaba osemazulwini.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ahyira wo, Yona ba Simon. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnyɛ onipa na ɔyii yei kyerɛɛ wo, na mmom, mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no.
18 Lami-ke ngiyakutshela, ukuthi wena unguPetro; laphezu kwalelidwala ngizalakha ibandla lami, lamasango esihogo kawayikulehlula. (Hadēs g86)
Wone Petro, Ɔbotan, na ɔbotan yi so na mede mʼasafo bɛsie, na tumi a ɛwɔ ɔbonsam gyam no rentumi mmubu no da. (Hadēs g86)
19 Futhi ngizakunika izihluthulelo zombuso wamazulu; njalo loba yini ozayibopha emhlabeni, izakuba ibotshiwe emazulwini; njalo loba yini ozayithukulula emhlabeni, izakuba ithukululwe emazulwini.
Mede Ɔsoro Ahennie no nsafoa bɛma wo, na ɛpono biara a wobɛto mu wɔ asase so no, wɔbɛto mu wɔ ɔsoro; na ɛpono biara a wobɛbue wɔ asase so no, wɔbɛbue wɔ ɔsoro!”
20 Wasebalayisisa abafundi ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ukuthi yena unguJesu onguKristu.
Afei, Yesu bɔɔ nʼasuafoɔ no ano sɛ wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no.
21 Kusukela kulesosikhathi uJesu waqala ukubatshengisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi umele ukuya eJerusalema, njalo ahlupheke okunengi ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, abulawe, avuswe ngosuku lwesithathu.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Yesu hyɛɛ aseɛ kaa kɔ a ɔbɛkɔ Yerusalem, ne amaneɛ a ɛbɛto no wɔ hɔ wɔ Yudafoɔ mpanin, asɔfoɔ mpanin ne twerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no nsam na wɔakum no, na nnansa so no wanyane no ho asɛm pefee kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no.
22 UPetro wasesiya laye eceleni waqala ukumkhuza esithi: Kakungabi kuwe, Nkosi; lokhu kakusoze kwenziwa kuwe.
Petro frɛɛ Yesu kɔɔ nkyɛn na ɔkaa nʼanim sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woka asɛm a ɛte saa! Onyame mpa ngu! Deɛ woreka yi remma wo so da!”
23 Kodwa yena watshibilika wathi kuPetro: Suka ngemva kwami, Sathane, uyisikhubekiso kimi; ngoba kawucabangi izinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezabantu.
Yesu danee ne ho kaa Petro anim sɛ, “Ɔbonsam, firi me so! Woyɛ suntidua kɛseɛ ma me. Wodwene nnipa adwene na ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn deɛ.”
24 UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi a, ɔmpa ne ho akyi, na ɔmma nʼasɛnnua so, na ɔnni mʼakyi.
25 Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola;
Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔgye ne ɔkra nkwa no, ɛbɛfiri ne nsa, na obiara a me enti, ne ɔkra bɛfiri ne nsa no, ne nsa bɛsane aka.
26 ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu nxa ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe? Kumbe umuntu uzanikani kube lihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe?
Na sɛ onipa nya ewiase yi mu nneɛma nyinaa na ɔhwere ne ɔkra a, mfasoɔ bɛn na ɔbɛnya? Ɛdeɛn na onipa bɛtumi de asi ne ɔkra ananmu?
27 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izakuza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye lengilosi zayo, khona izavuza ngulowo lalowo njengokwenza kwakhe.
Na me, Onipa Ba no, mɛba wɔ mʼagya animuonyam mu a mʼabɔfoɔ ka me ho na mabɛbu obiara nneyɛeɛ ho atɛn.
28 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze bayibone iNdodana yomuntu isiza embusweni wayo.
“Nokorɛ mese mo sɛ: Mo mu bi renwu kɔsi sɛ mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔreba nʼahennie mu.”
