Ilembile Mateu 16:1-28
16 Moi e-no Afarisi * na Asaduki tatoodhowa wa Yesu thitho vofuna m’mwesedha, tatoom’vepa ira aaoni-e izindiyelo * ya dhulu.
2 Mbwenye Yesu atoawakula ira: “Dhuwa lavira munoongecha ira, ‘bebe-i undhe unokala pama namwasa oi dhulu unooneya mirambo yofila.’
3 Mbwenye namaebe-i munoongecha ira, ‘penene unorumbwa dhongwe namwasa oi dhulu unooneya mirambo yofila.’ Nyo munoidhiwa thapulela vizindiyelo vyadhulu, mbwenye munoimwanana thapulela vizindiyelo vya malamboano.
4 Mbumba yothakala thitho yo-ovwela inofunechecha ingaoni izindiyelo. * Mbwenye kinodha oni-iwa izindiyelo * iliyothene khumi-avo izindiyelo * ya namaongela Yona.” Angaongile vyevi, atookhumavo noa-iyachi.
5 Adhamale anamafunjedha tatoovandelela khombela n’nango mbwenye katatukunle mapau.
6 Moi e-no Yesu atoawandela ira: “Mukale methove thitho muire polepole na rombwe otupi-a mapau wa Afarisi * na Asaduki.” *
7 Mbwenye aliwa tatooroma tapanya ira: “Vyadha i-yo uno kanitukunle mapau.”
8 Yesu atooidhiwa vyevyo thitho aongile ira: “Nyo airoromelo yoyeva, mwasiwa ngwan’ni munotapanya ira kamuna mapau?
9 N’nga kamunovwechechave likhundolee? N’nga kamunothuulela vyaatu 5.000 adyide mapau mathanu, thitho injiva wa migogoda yadhali-idhe nyo na vyodya vyo-ala?
10 N’nga thitho kamunothuulela vyaatu 4.000 adyide mapau 7, thitho injiva wa migogoda milukhulu milukhulu yadhali-idhe nyo na vyodya vyo-ala?
11 N’nga mwasiwa ngwan’ni kamunozindiyela ira miyo kandinoonga vyamapau, mbwenye ndinoonga ira muire polepole na rombwe otupi-a mapau wa Afarisi * na Asaduki?” *
12 Yesu angamadhi onga vyevyo aliwa tatoozindiyela ira kaaonga vyoi muire polepole na rombwe otupi-a mapau, mbwenye ira taire polepole na mafunji-edho a Afarisi * na Asaduki. *
13 Angafiile isa ya Kaizareya wau Filipi, Yesu atoafuka anamafunjedhee ira: “N’nga atu tanoonga ira Mwana mutu * mbaani?”
14 Aliwa tatoowakula ira: “Atu enango tanoonga ira muli Juwau Namabadiza, atu enango tanoonga ira muli Eliya, thitho atu enango tanoonga ira muli Jeremiya venango m’mbo-i mwa anamaongela.”
15 Moi e-no liye atoafuka ira: “N’nga nyo munoongecha ira miyo ndili ani?”
16 Simoni Pedru atoowakula ira: “Nyo muli Kristu, * Mwana Nlungu waingumi.”
17 Yesu atoom’mwandela ira: “Uli osangalala Simoni mwana Yona, namwasa oi kai mutu uuwandenle vyevi, mbwenye Babanga wa dhulu nguirile vyevi.
18 Ee-no miyo thitho ndinouwandela ira: Weyo uli Pedru thitho valiphandheniva ndinodha mangavo pingwanga. Misuwo ya masiye * kinodha ugonji-a.
19 Miyo ndinodha uva-a maxavi a Umwene wa dhulu. Yongo iliyothene inofuna we dhamanga vailambo yavathivano, inodhakala ira ingamadhi mangiwa dhulu, thitho yongo iliyothene inofuna wee dhathathula vailambo yavathivano, inodhakala ira ingamadhi thathuliwa dhulu.”
20 Moi e-no atoawandela anamafunjedhao mwakopolo ira katiwandele mutu uliwethene ira liye ngu Kristu. *
21 Romela hora yeniyo, Yesu atooroma awandela anamafunjedhee ira liye unofwanela dhowa wu Yerusalemu. Weo unodha oni-iwa nyarwa maningi na andimuwa andimuwa, andimuwa asembe, na alembi thitho unodha phiwa mbwenye vadambo lanararu unodha venyathi-iwa.
22 Moi e-no Pedru atoom’tukula Yesu nom’dhowana vakhundu nom’sumulula ira: “Mbwiyeni mudhivwele tangaranga mwekhene! Kamurumeli-e navang’onovene ira vyevi viuireeleni.”
23 Mbwenye liye atoodhimbinuwa nom’mwandela Pedru ira: “Dhowa nduliwangau Satana! * Weyo uli yogwegweducha wamiyo namwasa oi mathuulelwaa kai mathuulelo a Nlungu mbwenye mbamathuulelo aatu.”
24 Adhamale Yesu atoawandela anamafunjedhee ira: “Akala mutu unofuna ndi-arela adhikonde ekhene, thitho atukule imuriyee yoonelavo nyarwa * nodhowanave ndi-arela.
25 Namwasa oi mutu uliwethene unofuna vulumucha ingumiyee unodha iluza, mbwenye mutu uliwethene uluzile ingumiyee namwasa wa miyo, unodha ifwanya.
26 N’nga mutu unaganyalin’ni akaana vyongo vyothene vyavailamboi mbwenye liye luza ingumiyee? N’nga thitho mutu unavelele n’ni ira aode gula ingumi?
27 Namwasa oi Mwana mutu * unodha fiya mu titimi-o la Babee vambo-i na angelwee. Vahora yeniyo unodha velela yotuva wa mutu uliwethene movwelana na makalelwee.
28 Mwaimbarimbari ndinouwandelani ira enango mwaatu aimenle vanwala, katinodha fiyedhela wukwa ta-anaone Mwana mutu * adhanga ninga Mwene.”
