Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Nnansia akyi no Yesu faa Petro, Yakobo ne ne nua Yohane de wɔn kɔɔ bepɔw tenten bi a so yɛ dinn atifi.
2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Wɔwɔ hɔ no, wohuu sɛ ne nipadua asakra ama nʼanim ahyerɛn sɛ owia, ma nʼatade ayɛ fitafita sɛ nwera.
3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Prɛko pɛ, Mose ne Elia bepuee hɔ a na wɔne Yesu rekasa.
4 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Petro kae se, “Awurade, ɛyɛ nwonwa sɛ yɛn nso yɛwɔ ha bi. Sɛ wopɛ a, anka mɛbɔ asese abiɛsa na mede baako ama wo, na mede baako ama Mose, na mede baako ama Elia.”
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Petro gu so rekasa no, omununkum hann bi bɛkataa wɔn so na nne bi fi omununkum no mu kae se, “Oyi ne me Dɔba a ɔsɔ mʼani. Muntie no!”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Asuafo no tee nne no, wɔbɔɔ hu ma wɔde wɔn anim butubutuw fam.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
Yesu baa wɔn nkyɛn, besusoo wɔn mu kae se, “Monsɔre! Munnsuro!”
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
Wɔmaa wɔn ani so no, wɔanhu obiara sɛ Yesu nko ara.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
Ɛbaa sɛ wɔresian afi bepɔw no so no, Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se, “Monnka nea moahu no nkyerɛ obiara kosi sɛ menyan afi awufo mu.”
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Yesu asuafo no bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na daa Yudafo mpanyin ka ti mu se, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia san ba ansa na Agyenkwa no aba?”
11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Nea wɔreka no wɔ mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ Elia di kan ba bɛtoto nneɛma yiye.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”
Na nokware ni, Elia aba dedaw na wɔanhu no, na dodow no ara ne no anni no yiye. Na me, Agyenkwa no nso, mehu amane wɔ wɔn nsam saa ara.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
Afei asuafo no hui sɛ Osuboni Yohane ho asɛm na ɔreka no.
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
Bere a osian duu bepɔw no ase no, ohuu sɛ nnipadɔm retwɛn no. Ɔbarima bi bebuu Yesu nkotodwe kae se,
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
“Owura, hu me ba bi a otwa mmɔbɔ, efisɛ ɔwɔ ɔhaw kɛse mu. Sɛ otwa no ba a, etumi twa no hwe ogya anaa nsu mu.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
Enti mede no brɛɛ wʼasuafo no sɛ wɔnsa no yare; nanso wɔantumi.”
17 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
Yesu kae se, “Mo nnɛ mma asoɔdenfo a munni gyidi! Me ne mo ntena nkosi da bɛn? Momfa no mmrɛ me wɔ ha.”
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Yesu teɛteɛɛ honhommɔne a ɛwɔ abarimaa no mu no ma etu fii ne mu ma amono mu hɔ ara ne ho tɔɔ no.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
Afei asuafo no baa Yesu nkyɛn wɔ kokoa mu bebisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na yɛantumi antu honhommɔne no?”
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Efisɛ mo gyidi sua.” Ɔtoaa so se, “Sɛ mowɔ gyidi sɛ onyaa abaa esua koraa no a, anka mubetumi aka akyerɛ bepɔw yi se, ‘Tutu kɔ nohɔ!’ na ebetutu akɔ akyirikyiri.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Na saa honhommɔne a ɛte sɛɛ yi de, ɛrentumi ntu da, gye sɛ monam mpaebɔ ne mmuadadi so.”
22 While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Da bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo no wɔ Galilea no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Wɔrebeyi Onipa Ba no de no ahyɛ wɔn a
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
wɔwɔ tumi no nsa, na wɔakum no na ne nnansa so no, wanyan aba nkwa mu bio.” Asuafo no tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔn werɛ howee, na wɔn koma nso tui.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
Bere a wobeduu Kapernaum no nso, ɛhɔ asɔre no mu towgyefo baa Petro nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Enti wo wura tua tow?”
25 He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
Petro buaa no se, “Yiw otua.” Petro fii hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ fie kɔbɔɔ Yesu amanneɛ a ɛfa towtua no ho. Yesu amma nʼano ansi koraa na obisaa no se, “Na wo Petro, wo nso wudwen ho dɛn? Ahemfo twa tow ma wɔn ara wɔn manfo tua anaasɛ wotwa ma ahɔho a wodi wɔn so no?”
26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
Petro buaa se, “Wotwa tow no ma ahɔho no.” Yesu nso buae se, “Petro mo! Ɛno de na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔman mma no tua tow biara.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
Na mmom, esiane sɛ mempɛ sɛ wɔfa yɛn ho abufuw no nti, kɔ asu no mu kɔto darewa. Apataa a wubeyi no adi kan no, bue nʼanom. Wubehu sika a ɛbɛso me ne wo tow no tua sɛ ɛhyɛ nʼanom; yi na fa kotua ma wɔn.”
