Matthew 17
1 And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and he led them onto a lofty mountain separately.
Makalipas ang anim na araw, isinama ni Jesus sina Pedro, Santiago at si Juan na kaniyang kapatid at sila ay dinala niya sa isang mataas na bundok nang sila lang.
2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face shined brightly like the sun. And his garments were made white like snow.
Siya ay nagbagong anyo sa kanilang harapan. Ang kaniyang mukha ay nagliwanag na katulad ng araw, at ang kaniyang mga damit ay naging puting-puti katulad ng liwanag.
3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, speaking with him.
Masdan ito, nagpakita sa kanila sina Moises at Elias na nakikipag-usap sa kaniya.
4 And Peter responded by saying to Jesus: “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you are willing, let us make three tabernacles here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Nagsalita si Pedro at sinabi kay Jesus, “Panginoon, mabuti na kami ay narito. Kung nais ninyo, gagawa ako dito ng tatlong pagsisilungan—isa para sa inyo, at isa para kay Moises, at isa para kay Elias.”
5 And while he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them. And behold, there was a voice from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Habang siya ay nagsasalita pa, masdan ito, isang nakakasilaw na ulap ang lumilim sa kanila, at masdan ito, may isang tinig na mula sa ulap na nagsasabi, “Ito ang minamahal kong Anak na lubos kong kinalulugdan. Makinig kayo sa kaniya.”
6 And the disciples, hearing this, fell prone on their face, and they were very afraid.
Nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, sila ay nagpatirapa at lubhang natakot.
7 And Jesus drew near and touched them. And he said to them, “Rise up and do not be afraid.”
Pagkatapos, lumapit si Jesus at sila ay hinawakan at sinabi, “Tumayo kayo at huwag kayong matakot.”
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
At sila ay tumingala ngunit walang ibang nakita maliban kay Jesus lamang.
9 And as they were descending from the mountain, Jesus instructed them, saying, “Tell no one about the vision, until the Son of man has risen from the dead.”
Nang pababa na sila sa bundok, inutos ni Jesus sa kanila, na nagsasabi, “Huwag ninyong ipagsabi sa sinuman ang pangitaing ito hanggang ang Anak ng Tao ay muling ibangon mula sa mga patay.”
10 And his disciples questioned him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to arrive first?”
Tinanong siya ng kaniyang mga alagad, na sinasabi, “Bakit sinasabi ng mga eskriba na kailangan daw munang dumating si Elias?”
11 But in response, he said to them: “Elijah, indeed, shall arrive and restore all things.
Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, “Totoo na darating si Elias at aayusin ang lahat ng mga bagay.
12 But I say to you, that Elijah has already arrived, and they did not recognize him, but they did whatever they wanted to him. So also shall the Son of man suffer from them.”
Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, si Elias ay dumating na, ngunit siya ay hindi nila nakilala. Sa halip, ginawa nila ang nais nilang gawin sa kaniya. Sa gayon ding paraan, ang Anak ng Tao ay magdurusa rin sa kanilang mga kamay.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
At naintindihan ng mga alagad na ang tinutukoy niya ay si Juan na Tagapagbautismo.
14 And when he had arrived at the multitude, a man approached him, falling to his knees before him, saying:
Pagbalik nila sa kinaroroonan ng mga tao, lumapit ang isang tao at lumuhod sa kaniyang harapan, at sinabi,
15 “Lord, take pity on my son, for he is an epileptic, and he suffers harm. For he frequently falls into fire, and often also into water.
“Panginoon, mahabag kayo sa aking anak na lalaki, sapagkat siya ay may epilepsiya at lubhang nahihirapan. Sapagkat madalas siyang nahuhulog sa apoy o sa tubig.
16 And I brought him to your disciples, but they were not able to cure him.”
Dinala ko siya sa inyong mga alagad, ngunit hindi nila siya mapagaling.
17 Then Jesus responded by saying: “What an unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him here to me.”
Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, “Kayong salinlahi na walang pananampalataya at mga baluktot, hanggang kailan ba ako mananatili kasama ninyo? Hanggang kailan ako magtitiis sa inyo? Dalhin ninyo siya sa akin.”
18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Sinaway siya ni Jesus at umalis ang demonyo sa kaniya. Gumaling ang bata sa oras ding iyon.
19 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
Pagkatapos nito sarilinang lumapit kay Jesus ang kaniyang mga alagad at sinabi, “Bakit hindi namin ito mapalayas?”
20 Jesus said to them: “Because of your unbelief. Amen I say to you, certainly, if you will have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move. And nothing will be impossible for you.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Dahil maliit ang inyong pananampalataya. Sapagkat katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, kung mayroon kayong pananampalataya na kasinliit ng buto ng mustasa, maaari ninyong sabihin sa bundok na ito, 'Lumipat ka roon,' at lilipat nga ito at walang magiging imposible sa inyo.
21 But this kind is not cast out, except through prayer and fasting.”
(Ngunit hindi mapapalayas ang ganitong uri ng demonyo maliban sa panalangin at pag-aayuno.)
22 And when they were conversing together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: “The Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
Habang sila ay nanatili sa Galilea, sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniyang mga alagad, “Ang Anak ng Tao ay ibibigay sa kamay ng mga tao.
23 And they will kill him, but he will rise again on the third day.” And they were extremely saddened.
At siya ay papatayin nila, at mabubuhay siya sa ikatlong araw.” Labis itong ikinalungkot ng kaniyang mga alagad.
24 And when they had arrived at Capernaum, those who collected the half shekel approached Peter, and they said to him, “Doesn’t your Teacher pay the half shekel?”
Pagdating nila sa Capernaum, lumapit kay Pedro ang mga lalaking naningil ng kalahating siklo ng buwis at sinabi, “Nagbabayad ba ng kalahating siklo ng buwis ang iyong guro?”
25 He said, “Yes.” And when he had entered into the house, Jesus went before him, saying: “How does it seem to you, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they receive tribute or the census tax: from their own sons or from foreigners?”
Sinabi niya, “Oo.” Ngunit nang pumunta si Pedro sa bahay, una siyang kinausap ni Jesus at sinabi, “Ano sa palagay mo, Simon? Ang mga hari sa lupa, kanino sila tumatanggap ng buwis o ng pagpupugay? Mula sa kanilang mga mamamayan o mula sa mga dayuhan?”
26 And he said, “From foreigners.” Jesus said to him: “Then the sons are free.
Nang sinabi ni Pedro, “Sa mga dayuhan,” sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Kung ganoon hindi kasama ang kanilang mamamayan sa pagbabayad.
27 But so that we may not become an obstacle to them: go to the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that is brought up, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them, for me and for you.”
Ngunit upang hindi tayo maging sanhi ng pagkakasala ng mga nangongolekta ng buwis, pumunta ka sa dagat, ihagis mo ang iyong pamingwit, at kunin ang unang isda na nahuli. Kapag binuka mo ang bibig nito, makikita mo ang isang siklo. Kunin mo ito at ibigay sa mga nangongolekta ng buwis para sa akin at para sa iyo.”
