Matiyu 17
1 Ayiri kutocin wa kata, Yisa yira Bitrus ku nin Yakubu a Yuhanna gwana me, ada ninghinu kitene likup lizalang inung litiime.
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,
2 Atunna asaka ukama nbun mine. Umuro me balta naffo uwui, kulutuk me ta kanag nafo nkanag.
and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,
3 Na nin nanzu kubi ba Musa nin Iliya nuzu ilira nan ghe.
and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.
4 Bitrus kawa aworo Yisa ku, “Cikilari, ucaun na arike di kikane. Andi uyinna, meng ba ke adanga atat kurum kunfe, kurum kun Musa, a kurum kun Iliya.”
And Peter answering said to Jesus, 'Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths — for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'
5 Kubi ko na awa di nlirua na nin nanzu kubi ba kuwut nuzu ku kanag da ta nani ushin, na nin molu kubi ba liwui nuzu nan nya kuwut, aworo, “Kanere Gono kin nayi nighe, ulle na ndin nlatizu nmang me lanzan ghe.”
While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son, — the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'
6 Na nono katuwa me nlanza nani, ideo nin timuro mine kutyin, iwa di nlanzu fiu.
And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
7 Ame Yisa da ada duduzo nani a woro, “Fitan yenje iwa lanza fiu.”
and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, 'Rise, be not afraid,'
8 Inug yene kitene kani, na iyene umon ba, Yisa ari cas wa duku.
and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
9 Na iwa kpilin unuzu kitene likupe, Yiisa kpada nani aworo, “Na iwa bellin alle amore kitin nmon ba, udu kubi ko na Usaun Nnit ba fitu nan nya nkul.”
And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, 'Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'
10 Nono katuwa me tiringhe iworo, “Iyaghari wati anan ninyerte wa woro Iliya ma burnu adak?”
And his disciples questioned him, saying, 'Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?'
11 Yisa kauwa a woro nani, “Iliya badak ada kurtunu imon vat.”
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,
12 Nene meng bellin minu, Iliya namalu udak, na iyininghe ba. Nin nani, iwa a sughe vat nimon ille na idinin suwe. Nanya libau lirume, Gono Nnit ba niu nacara mine.”
and I say to you — Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'
13 Inug nono katuwa me, yinno adin nliru nanghinu kitene Yuhanna unan Baptismari.
Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.
14 Na ikpilla kiti ligozine, umon unit da kitime, ada tumuno nbun me, anin woro,
And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,
15 “Cikilari, lanza nkune kune ngono nighe, bara adinin nkonu matirizi, adin nniu mun kang, kubi-kubi asa adiso nlah sa nmyen.
and saying, 'Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,
16 Meng da ninghe kitin nono katuwa fe, na iyinno ushinu ninghe ba.”
and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.'
17 Yisa kauwa a woro, “Anan salin nyinnu nin kuji kunanzang, udu kome kubiari mba so nanghinua? Udu kome kubiari mba nonku kibinai ninghinua? Dan ninghe kiti nig kika.”
And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'
18 Yisa kpada ghe, Kugbergenue nuzu nan nya me, kwanyane shino nkone kube.
and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.
19 Nani nono katuwa da kiti Yisa kusari kurum i woro, “Iyaghari ntah na arik nyinnno nutunghe ba?”
Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, 'Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'
20 Yisa belle nani, “Bara ncingilin nyinnu sa uyenu mine. Kidegen ndin bellu minu, asa idinin yinnu sa uyenu cing nafo fiyip fikan Imustard, uwasa ubelle likup lole, 'kalla litiife kikane udo kanie,' aba du nin litime, na imomon ba yitu munu nin nijasi nsu ba.
And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,
21 Vat nani imus nale agbergenu wasa inuzu nani cas ba, se ligowe nin lira a ukifu nnu.”
and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.'
22 Kube na iwa sosin Galili, Yisa belle nono katuwa me, “Iba ni gono nnit nacara nanit.
And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,
23 Inug ba molughe, nan nya liri lintat aba fitu.” Ayi nana nono katuwa me nani yototo.
and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.
24 Na ida Ukafarnahum, annit alenge na iwadi imal sesu kagisin fishekel nafo ugandu, da kitii Bitrus a woroghe, “Na unan yirru mine din nizu kagisin nishekel ngandu ba?”
And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, 'Your teacher — doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, 'Yes.'
25 A woroghe, “Nanere.” Da na Bitrus npira nan nya kilari, Yisa cizina uliru ninghe aworo, “Iyaghari udin kpilize, Simon? Ago inyi, kitinghari idin sesu ugandu kuwa? Kiti nanit minere sa kiti namara?”
And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, 'What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth — from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?'
26 Na Bitrus nworo, “Kiti namarari,” Yisa bellinghe, “Ikala anit mine nbiuze.
Peter saith to him, 'From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, 'Then are the sons free;
27 Na tiwa ti nani anan sesu ngandu isu kulapi ba, cang kulli kudia, to liwita fe nanye, uwunun fibo fo na fi burno udake. Asa upuno unu finin uba se fishekel ku, yira finin udi ni anan sesun unani ni unfe.”
but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.'
