Matthew 17
1 After six days, Yeshua [Salvation] took with him Peter [Rock], James [Surplanter], and John [Yah is gracious] his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Seli fai nee ma, Yesus noꞌe Petrus, Yakobis no odꞌin Yohanis, fo reu ramaloloꞌ hene risiꞌ leteꞌ naruꞌ sa ata, fo mesaꞌ se sia naa.
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Losa ata ma, rita Yesus dadꞌi laen. Matan naronda onaꞌ relo, no buan dadꞌi muti makahahadꞌoꞌ.
3 Behold, Moses [Drawn out] and Elijah [My God Yah] appeared to them talking with him.
Aibꞌoiꞌ ma, ara rita Ana ola-olaꞌ no baꞌi Musa no baꞌi Elia.
4 Peter [Rock] answered, and said to Yeshua [Salvation], “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses [Drawn out], and one for Elijah [My God Yah].”
Boe ma Petrus bingun de olaꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ! Hai maꞌahe sia ia ena, o! De malole lenaꞌ ata tao lalaat telu. Esa fee neu Amaꞌ, esa fee neu baꞌi Musa, ma esa fai fee neu baꞌi 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 agapetos ·beloved, esteemed· Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Lele Petrus feꞌe olaꞌ taꞌo naa, aibꞌoiꞌ ma lelee marondaꞌ a onda de tatana nala se. Boe ma ara titindindi rena haraꞌ sa nea nema mia leleꞌ a rala nae, “Rena, o! Yesus ia, Au Ana susue ngga. Ana tao rala ngga namahoꞌo nakandooꞌ a. Rena malolole neu E, e!”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Rena rala taꞌo naa, ma ana mana tungga nara ramatau rae mate, de raꞌaloli raꞌatotonoꞌ.
7 Yeshua [Salvation] came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
Te Yesus nema keis se, ma Ana nae, “We! Ama fela leo. Afiꞌ mimitau!”
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Yeshua [Salvation] alone.
Basa ma ara botiꞌ mata nara, te nda rita esa sa boe. Akaꞌ Yesus sia naa.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua [Salvation] enjoined them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
Basa ma, ara onda mia leteꞌ naa. Boe ma Yesus naꞌangge se nae, “Saa fo faꞌ ra hei mitaꞌ naa, afiꞌ mifadꞌe esa boe, e! Te Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, musi mate dei. Dei fo Au usodꞌa baliꞌ ena dei, fo ama feꞌe na bole mifadꞌe atahori ena.”
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the Torah-Teachers say that Elijah [My God Yah] must come first?”
Boe ma ara ratane E rae, “Amaꞌ ia, memaꞌ Kristus, te baꞌi Elia sia bee? Huu meser agama ra ranori rae, baꞌi Elia musi nema dei, fo Kristus feꞌe nema na. Te tungga Amaꞌ, na taꞌo bee?”
11 Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Elijah [My God Yah] indeed comes first, and will restore all things,
Yesus nataa nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe. Baꞌi Elia musi nema dei, fo soi dalaꞌ fee neu Kristus.
12 but I tell you that Elijah [My God Yah] 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.”
Te rena malolole, e! Baꞌi Elia nema ena, te atahori nda rahine sa. Ara tao raꞌasusaꞌ e, tungga hihii nara. Dei fo ara tao Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia onaꞌ naa boe.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John [Yah is gracious] the Immerser.
Rena basa taꞌo naa, dei de ara bubꞌuluꞌ rae, baꞌi Elia fo Yesus olaꞌ naa, naeni Yohanis mana saraniꞌ a.
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Leleꞌ Yesus se baliꞌ, ara randaa ro atahori hetar rahani se ena. Boe ma papa esa neu sendeꞌ lululanggan noꞌe tulun mbali E,
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.
nae, “Papa! Kasian au ana ngga dei! Te ana namahedꞌi mulu bibiꞌ, ana doidꞌoso nala seli. Mete ma hedꞌis na losa, na, ana akaꞌ tudaꞌ oe rala neu, hokoꞌ na ai rala neu. Tulun dei, Papa, e!
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
Au endi e nisiꞌ Papa ana mana tungga mara ena, te ara nda bisa raꞌahahaiꞌ rala e sa.”
17 Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
Rena taꞌo naa, ma Yesus namanasa atahori mana ramahere no rala seseriꞌ nae, “Heeꞌ! Hei ia ra seli tebꞌe! Au unori usufafali nggi ena, te ama nda mihine malolole sa. Ma ama nda mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Au sa! Au musi uꞌutataaꞌ o nggi losa fai hiraꞌ fai? Mo anaꞌ naa ia nema!”
18 Yeshua [Salvation] rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Ara ro anaꞌ naa, ma Ana oi hendi nitu mia anaꞌ naa. Basa ma, nitu a lao hela anaꞌ naa, ma ana hai neuꞌ ena.
19 Then the disciples came to Yeshua [Salvation] privately, and said, “Why were we not able to cast it out?”
Basa de, leleꞌ Yesus mesaꞌ ne no ana mana tungga nara, ara ratane E rae, “Amaꞌ! Taꞌo bee de faꞌ ra hai nda bisa oi hendi nitu naa sa?”
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have trusting 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.
Yesus nataa baliꞌ nae, “Ama nda bisa oi hendi nitu naa sa, huu nda mimihere tebꞌe sa na. Misinedꞌa, e! Mete ma hei mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Au, itaꞌ akaꞌ mbei anaꞌ a o, onaꞌ deke anadꞌikiꞌ sa o, ama bisa parenda leteꞌ sa mae, ‘Hee, leteꞌ! Lali naa muu!’ Neꞌo ana lali. Dadꞌi hei bisa tao mala sudꞌiꞌ a saa, sadꞌi ama mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ.
21 But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
[Te rena, e! Nitu mataꞌ ia ra memaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ. Mete ma ama nda hule-oꞌe ma puasa fo moꞌe tulu-faliꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ sa, na, ama nda bisa oi nitu mataꞌ naa ra sa.”]
22 While they were staying in Galilee [District, Circuit], Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Lao esa ma, Yesus no ana mana tungga nara raꞌabꞌue sia profinsi Galilea. Ana nafadꞌe se nae, “Nda doꞌ sa ena, te ara rae seo Au neu atahori feaꞌ ra.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
Basa ma ara tao risa Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia. Memaꞌ Au mate, te fini esan ma, Au usodꞌa baliꞌ.” Ana mana tungga nara susa rala seli, huu rena Ana ola naꞌo naa.
24 When they had come to Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion], those who collected the half-shekel coin came to Peter [Rock], and said, “Does not your teacher pay the Temple Tax?”
Leleꞌ Yesus no ana mana tungga nara reu risiꞌ kambo Kapernaum, boe ma mana edꞌa bea ra, ratane Petrus rae, “Hei Meser ma bae ume hule-oꞌeꞌ a bea na, do hokoꞌ?”
25 He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Yeshua [Salvation] anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simeon [Hearing]? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
Boe ma Petrus nataa nae, “Bae, e!” Leleꞌ ana baliꞌ, ma Yesus nafadꞌe naꞌahuluꞌ neu e nae, “We, Simon! Duꞌa sobꞌa dei. Mane-maneꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia haꞌi bea mia seka? Mia ana nara do, mia atahori feaꞌ?
26 Peter [Rock] said to him, “From strangers.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
Petrus nataa nae, “‘Mia atahori feaꞌ!” Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, na maneꞌ a anan afiꞌ bae, to?
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 shekel [0.4 oz; 11.34 kg]. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
Onaꞌ naa boe no ume Hule-Oꞌe Huuꞌ a bea na. Te, hita afiꞌ tao mana edꞌa bea ra ramanasa. Dadꞌi malole lenaꞌ muu dolu uꞌu sia dano a. Mala uꞌu ka esan, na, fingga bafan. Dei fo hambu doi fulaꞌ esa sia naa. Muu bae ruꞌa nggita bea na mendiꞌ doiꞌ naa. Te naa dai soaꞌ neu ruꞌa nggita ena.”
