Matthew 17
1 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, with him and they went up a high mountain to be by themselves.
Ayiri kutocin wa kata, Yisa yira Bitrus ku nin Yakubu a Yuhanna gwana me, ada ninghinu kitene likup lizalang inung litiime.
2 He was transformed in front of them. His face shone like the sun. His clothes turned white as light.
Atunna asaka ukama nbun mine. Umuro me balta naffo uwui, kulutuk me ta kanag nafo nkanag.
3 Then suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking together with Jesus.
Na nin nanzu kubi ba Musa nin Iliya nuzu ilira nan ghe.
4 Peter spoke up, saying to Jesus, “Lord, it's really good to be here. If you want I'll make three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
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.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them. A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my son whom I love, who pleases me. Listen to him.”
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.”
6 When they heard this, the disciples fell down on their faces, absolutely terrified.
Na nono katuwa me nlanza nani, ideo nin timuro mine kutyin, iwa di nlanzu fiu.
7 Jesus went over to them and touched them. “Get up,” he told them. “Don't be afraid.”
Ame Yisa da ada duduzo nani a woro, “Fitan yenje iwa lanza fiu.”
8 When they looked up they didn't see anybody there except Jesus.
Inug yene kitene kani, na iyene umon ba, Yisa ari cas wa duku.
9 As they descended the mountain Jesus gave them strict instructions. “Don't tell anybody what you saw until the Son of man has risen from the dead,” he told them.
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.”
10 “So why do the religious teachers say that Elijah has to come first?” his disciples asked.
Nono katuwa me tiringhe iworo, “Iyaghari wati anan ninyerte wa woro Iliya ma burnu adak?”
11 “It's true that Elijah comes to put everything in place,” Jesus replied,
Yisa kauwa a woro nani, “Iliya badak ada kurtunu imon vat.”
12 “but I tell you that Elijah has already come and yet people didn't recognize who he was. They did whatever they felt like to him. In the same way the Son of man will also suffer at their hands.”
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.”
13 Then the disciples realized that Jesus was referring to John the Baptist.
Inug nono katuwa me, yinno adin nliru nanghinu kitene Yuhanna unan Baptismari.
14 When they approached the crowd, a man came to Jesus, and kneeled before him.
Na ikpilla kiti ligozine, umon unit da kitime, ada tumuno nbun me, anin woro,
15 “Lord, please have mercy on my son,” he said. “He loses his mind and suffers such terrible fits that he often falls in the fire or into water.
“Cikilari, lanza nkune kune ngono nighe, bara adinin nkonu matirizi, adin nniu mun kang, kubi-kubi asa adiso nlah sa nmyen.
16 I brought him to your disciples but they couldn't heal him.”
Meng da ninghe kitin nono katuwa fe, na iyinno ushinu ninghe ba.”
17 “You people refuse to trust me, and are so corrupt!” Jesus responded. “How long do I have to remain here with you? How long do I have to put up with you? Bring him here to me!”
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.”
18 Jesus confronted the demon and it left the boy, and he was healed straight away.
Yisa kpada ghe, Kugbergenue nuzu nan nya me, kwanyane shino nkone kube.
19 Later the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked him, “Why couldn't we drive it out?”
Nani nono katuwa da kiti Yisa kusari kurum i woro, “Iyaghari ntah na arik nyinnno nutunghe ba?”
20 “Because you don't trust enough,” Jesus told them. “I tell you, even if your trust was as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible for you.”
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.
Vat nani imus nale agbergenu wasa inuzu nani cas ba, se ligowe nin lira a ukifu nnu.”
22 As they were walking together through Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of man is going to be betrayed and people will have power over him.
Kube na iwa sosin Galili, Yisa belle nono katuwa me, “Iba ni gono nnit nacara nanit.
23 They will kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.” The disciples were filled with sadness.
Inug ba molughe, nan nya liri lintat aba fitu.” Ayi nana nono katuwa me nani yototo.
24 When they arrived at Capernaum, those who were in charge of collecting the half-shekel Temple tax came to Peter and asked him, “Your teacher does pay the half-shekel tax, doesn't he?”
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?”
25 “Yes, of course,” Peter replied. When he returned to where they were staying, Jesus anticipated the issue. “What do you think, Simon?” Jesus asked him. “Do the kings of this world collect their taxes and duties from their own sons or from others?”
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?”
26 “From others,” Peter replied. So Jesus told him, “In that case the sons are exempt.
Na Bitrus nworo, “Kiti namarari,” Yisa bellinghe, “Ikala anit mine nbiuze.
27 But to avoid giving offense to anyone, go to the lake, and throw out a fishing line with a hook. Pull in the first fish you catch, and when you open its mouth there you'll find a stater coin. Take the coin and give it to them for both me and you.”
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.”
