1 Po aBhafalisaayi na Bhasandukaayi bhamu bhakiisa kwa Yeesu, bhakamughela ukuti abhombe ichiika ukulangisha ukuti atumiighwe nu Chaala. 2 UYeesu akabhaamula akati, “[Linga lyafika namasubha, mukuyugha mukuti, ‘Ningeelo indikukache akiisa paapo kumwanya kwelupite.’ 3 Loole ku kabhalilo aka pangeelo mukuyugha mukuti, ‘Umuusughu ifula indiyitime paapo kumwanya kwaghimba soona kuli na mabhingu.’ Mwe bhongubhisania umwe! Mumeenye ukusolola isha tubhalilo ku sila iya kutesha muumwo kumwanya kubheeliile. Po kali, shili bhuleele mutabhaghiile ukufyaghania ifimanyisho ifya tubhalilo utu?] 4 Abhandu abhabhiibhi na bhashipani abha kabhalilo aka bhakulonda ichiika. Indaaingabhalangishe ichiika naachimo, loole chila chila icha kwa Yoona.” Po uYeesu akabhaleka, akatiila.

5 Bhwo abhamanyili abha Yeesu bhaalobhoka usumbi, bhakiibhwa ukwegha imikati. 6 UYeesu akabhabhuula akati, “Mubhange maaso ni nyambo iya Bhafalisaayi na Bhasandukaayi.” 7 Abhamanyili bhala bhakaanda ukuyughisania bheene-bheene bhakati, “Akuyugha bhubhuubhwo paapo tuteeghite imikati.” 8 UYeesu akashaaghania shooshi isho, akabhabhuula akati, “Mwe bhandu abha lwitiko ulunandi umwe! Kali, nongwa yiki mukuyughisania mwibheene-bheene ukuti mutali ni mikati? 9 Kali, mukaali mutakushaaghania? Kali, mukaali mutakukumbuka muumwo abhandu abhoelufu bhahaano (5,000) bhala bhakiikuta imikati mihaano yila? Kali, mukiisusha utupombo tulinga utwa tubhululusha? 10 Pamu imikati mihaano na mibhili (7) yila yiiyo ingabheghulania nu kubhapa abhandu abhoelufu bhanna (4,000) bhala, kali, mukabhungaania utupombo tulinga?✡16:9-10 Mataayi 14:20; 15:37 11 Kali, mutakushaaghania bhuleele ukuti isho shiisho naayughagha shitaa sha mikati? Po mubhange maaso ni nyambo iya Bhafalisaayi na Bhasandukaayi.” 12 Po abhamanyili bhaake bhakashaaghania ukuti atakayughagha isha nyambo iya kululisha imikati, loole isha fimanyisho ifya bhumyashi ifya Bhafalisaayi na Bhasandukaayi.

13 Bhwo uYeesu aafika kumbafu isha Kayisaaliya-Filipi, akabhabhuusha abhamanyili bhaake akati, “Kali, abhandu bhakumuyugha uMwana ughwa Mundu ukuti ghwini?” 14 Bhakamwamula bhakati, “Bhamu bhakumuyugha ukuti ghwi Yoohani uMwoshi, abhanine bhakumuyugha ukuti ghwi Eliiya na bhanine bhakumuyugha ukuti ghwi Yelemiiya pamu ghwe yumo mu bhasololi.” 15 UYeesu akabhabhuusha soona akati, “Kali, umwe mukuti une nee ghwini?” 16 USiimoni Peeteli akamwamula akati, “Ughwe ghwe Mesiiya,*16:16 UMesiiya Kwo kuti, Kilisiti. Bhelenga ingamu iya UKilisiti ku Mashu aMaheesha. uMwana ghwa Chaala yuuyo mwumi.”

17 UYeesu akamubhuula akati, “Ghwe Siimoni, mwana ughwa Yoona, uli musayighwa paapo ataliipo umundu yuuyo aakusetulila isho, loole uTaata yuuyo ali kumwanya. 18 Une ingukubhuula ukuti ughwe, ghwe Peeteli,†16:18 UPeeteli Kwo kuti, Lyalabhwe. soona pamwanya pa lyalabhwe ili po paapo indiingasenge ichipanga changu na maka agha bhufwe ghataaghakachipoote naalumo. 19 Nuune indiingupe ifungulilo isha chitangalala icha kumwanya ukuti shooshi shiisho ghwashipinya mu ngamu yangu pa chiisu panu, uChaala ghwepe akushipinya kumwanya. Soona shooshi shiisho ghwashaabhula mu ngamu yangu pa chiisu panu, uChaala ghwepe akushaabhula kumwanya.” 20 Po uYeesu akabhakaanisha abhamanyili bhaake bhala ukuti manye bhamubhuulaghe umundu naayumo ukuti umwene ghwi Mesiiya.

21 Ukwandila akabhalilo ako, uYeesu akaanda ukubhalingaania abhamanyili bhaake pabhwelu ukuti shikulondighwa abhuuke ku Yelusaleemu nu kushaagha indamyo inyingi ku bhosongo abha Bhayuuta, ku bhosongo abha bhapuuti na ku bhamanyishi abha ndaghilo isha Moose nu kughoghighwa. Loole indiakashuuke pi ishiku ilya bhutatu. 22 Po uPeeteli akabhuuka naghwe palubhafu, akaanda ukumukemela akati, “Nashiku Malafyale, isho shitabhaghiile ukukwagha.” 23 Loole uYeesu akamusanukila uPeeteli, akamubhuula akati, “Tiila kukwangu ghwe Seetano! Manye ghuushighilaghe ukubhomba ubhwighane ubhwa Chaala. Paapo utakwinongʼona shiisho sha Chaala, loole kwinongʼona shiisho sha bhandu.”

24 Po uYeesu akabhabhuula abhamanyili bhaake akati, “Umundu ghweshi yuuyo akulonda ukuungonga, iikaane mwene, apimbaghe ichikobhekano chaake,‡16:24 Apimbaghe ichikobhekano chaake Kwo kuti, kwitika ukushaagha indamyo nu kufwa ku nongwa iya Yeesu Kilisiti. aangongaghe. 25 Paapo umundu yuuyo akulonda ukubhupoka ubhwumi bhwake, indiakabhusofye. Loole umundu yuuyo akubhufumya ubhwumi bhwake ku nongwa yangu, indiakabhwaghe ubhwumi ubhwa bhwila na bhwila. 26 Kali, umundu indiakakabhe kooni linga aabhwagha ubhukabhi bhwoshi ubhwa pa chiisu nu kubhusofya ubhwumi bhwake? Pamu kali, umundu abhaghiile ukufumya kooni pa bhuyo ubhwa bhwumi bhwake? 27 Paapo uMwana ughwa Mundu indiakiise pamupeene na bhandumi bhaake ku bhukulumba ubhwa Taata ghwake. Po indiakamuhombe umundu ghweshi ukukongana ni mbombo shaake. 28 Nalooli ingubhabhuula, bhaliipo bhamu panu bhaabho bhataabhakafwe bhwo bhakaali ukumubhona uMwana ughwa Mundu bhwo akwisa ni chitangalala chaake.”✡16:28 Ndaniyeeli 7:14
