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.
MURIN pong wonu pong Iesus ap kotin ukadar Petrus, o Iakopus, o ri a Ioanes kalua ir dalang pon nana ileila eu kalapuk.
2 He was transformed in front of them. His face shone like the sun. His clothes turned white as light.
I ari kotin linganla mo’rail silang i lingaling dueta katipin, o sapwilim a likau o puetpuet eta marain eu.
3 Then suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking together with Jesus.
A kilang, Moses o Elias pwara dong ir, kasokasoi ong i.
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.”
Petrus ap sapeng potoan ong Iesus: Maing, meid mau atail kotikot met. Ma re kotin mauki se pan kauada kisin im sili kis: Tanpas ar, o eu sapwilim en Moses, o eu sapwilim en Elias.
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.”
Ni a kasokasoidar, kilang, pali en dapok pali ap kadupal irail edi; o kilang, ngil eu peidido sang nan dapok o, me masani: Iet nai Ol kompok, me I kin polaule kida! Komail ron i!
6 When they heard this, the disciples fell down on their faces, absolutely terrified.
Tounpadak kan lao rongadar met, rap pupedier pon mas arail, masapwekadar kaualap.
7 Jesus went over to them and touched them. “Get up,” he told them. “Don't be afraid.”
Iesus ap kotido, sair ir, masani: Uda, der masak!
8 When they looked up they didn't see anybody there except Jesus.
Irail lao saradar, sota amen, me re kilanger, pwe Iesus eta.
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.
Ari, ni arail kotikot kodido sang ni nana o, Iesus ap kotin masani ong irail masani: Komail depa indai ong meamen duen kasansal o, Nain aramas lao mauredar sang ren me melar akan.
10 “So why do the religious teachers say that Elijah has to come first?” his disciples asked.
Sapwilim a tounpadak kan kalelapok re a indada: Da me saunkawewe kan kin indinda, dene Elias pan kotido mas?
11 “It's true that Elijah comes to put everything in place,” Jesus replied,
A kotin sapeng masani ong irail: Nan melel, Elias pan pwarado mas kapungala karos.
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.”
A ngai indai ong komail, Elias me pwaradoer, a re sasa i, pwe irail wiai ong i meakan, me re men wiada. Iduen Nain aramas pil pan kamekam re’rail.
13 Then the disciples realized that Jesus was referring to John the Baptist.
Tounpadak kan ap asadar, me a kotin masani ong irail duen Ioanes saunpaptais o.
14 When they approached the crowd, a man came to Jesus, and kneeled before him.
Irail lao lel dong pokon o, aramas amen poto dong i kelepuki mo a sakaradar:
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.
Maing kupura nai ol o, pwe a pweipwei o madak kaualap, pwe pan pak toto a kin pupedi nan iai o nan pil,
16 I brought him to your disciples but they couldn't heal him.”
Ngai ari wa dong i ren sapwilim ar tounpadak kan, a irail sota kak kakelada i.
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!”
Iesus ap kotin sapeng masani: Di wet meid soposon o katiwo. Ia arain ai pan mi re omail? Ia arain ai pan kokoa komail? Wa dong ia!
18 Jesus confronted the demon and it left the boy, and he was healed straight away.
Iesus ap kotin kidaua i, tewil ari kodi sang lole; putak o ap kelailadar ni auer ota.
19 Later the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked him, “Why couldn't we drive it out?”
A tounpadak kan ap kelep poto dong Iesus potoan ong: Da me kit so kak kauseki wei sang i?
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.”
A ap kotin masani ong irail: Aki omail soposon. Pwe melel I indai ong komail, ma omail poson pan laude ong wan katiring, komail pan kak indang nana wet: Koda sang wasa en, kola monen! I ap pan kola, sota me sota pan kak pa omail.
Song wet sota kin koki sang meakot, kapakap o kaisesol eta.
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.
A ni ar kotikot sili nan wein Kaliläa, Iesus kotin masani ong irail: Nain aramas pan pangalang nan pa en aramas.
23 They will kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.” The disciples were filled with sadness.
Irail pan kamela i, a ni ran kasilu a pan maureda. Irail ari mamauk kaualap.
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?”
Irail lao kotilon ong nan Kapernaum, saunopwei kai ap ko dong Petrus indang i: Omail Saunpadak sota kin iang nopwei?
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 masanier: Ei. A lao pedelong ong nan im o, Iesus ap kotin madang masani: Simon, da me koe lamelame, nanmarki en sappa kin ale taksis de nopwei sang ren is? Sang ren nairail seri de sang men liki kan?
26 “From others,” Peter replied. So Jesus told him, “In that case the sons are exempt.
Petrus potoan ong i: Sang ren men liki kan. Iesus kotin masani ong i: Ari, seri kan me saladok.
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.”
Ari so, pwe kitail der kamakar irail ada, kola ni oror kasedi kas, a mam men mas, me pan lodi, apiada, kasara pasang au a, koe pan diar lepen moni lep; i me koe pan ale o kida ai o noum.
