Matthew 17
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, and the brothers James and John, and led them up a high mountain alone.
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 There his appearance was transformed before their eyes; his face shown like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
Losa ata ma, rita Yesus dadꞌi laen. Matan naronda onaꞌ relo, no buan dadꞌi muti makahahadꞌoꞌ.
3 All at once Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.
Aibꞌoiꞌ ma, ara rita Ana ola-olaꞌ no baꞌi Musa no baꞌi Elia.
4 ‘Master,’ exclaimed Peter, interposing, ‘it is good to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’
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, a bright cloud enveloped them, and there was a voice from the cloud that said – ‘This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy; 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 The disciples, on hearing this, fell on their faces, greatly afraid.
Rena rala taꞌo naa, ma ana mana tungga nara ramatau rae mate, de raꞌaloli raꞌatotonoꞌ.
7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying as he did so, ‘Rise up, and do not be afraid.’
Te Yesus nema keis se, ma Ana nae, “We! Ama fela leo. Afiꞌ mimitau!”
8 When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself alone.
Basa ma ara botiꞌ mata nara, te nda rita esa sa boe. Akaꞌ Yesus sia naa.
9 As they were going down the mountain side, Jesus gave them this warning – ‘Do not speak of this vision to anyone, 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 ‘How is it,’ his disciples asked, ‘that our teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to 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 ‘Elijah indeed does come,’ Jesus replied, ‘and will restore everything;
Yesus nataa nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe. Baꞌi Elia musi nema dei, fo soi dalaꞌ fee neu Kristus.
12 and I tell you that Elijah has already come, and people have not recognised him, but have treated him just as they pleased. In the same way, too, the Son of Man is destined to undergo suffering at people’s hands.’
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 had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
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 crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and, kneeling down before him, said,
Leleꞌ Yesus se baliꞌ, ara randaa ro atahori hetar rahani se ena. Boe ma papa esa neu sendeꞌ lululanggan noꞌe tulun mbali E,
15 ‘Master, take pity on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers terribly; indeed, he often falls into the fire and 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 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.’
Au endi e nisiꞌ Papa ana mana tungga mara ena, te ara nda bisa raꞌahahaiꞌ rala e sa.”
17 ‘Faithless and perverse generation!’ Jesus exclaimed, ‘how long must I be among you? How long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy 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 Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy; and he was cured from that very 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 Afterwards the disciples came up to Jesus, and asked him privately, ‘Why was it that we could not drive 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 ‘Because you have so little faith!’ he answered, ‘For, I tell you, if your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain “Move from this place to that!” and it would be moved; and nothing would be impossible to 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.
[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 Jesus and his disciples were together in Galilee, he said to them, ‘The Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into human hands,
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 put him to death, but on the third day he will rise.’ The disciples were greatly distressed.
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 After they had reached Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple taz came up to Peter, and said, ‘Does not your Master 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 ‘Yes,’ answered Peter. But, on going into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said, ‘What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings take taxes or tribute? From their sons, or from others?’
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 ‘From others,’ answered Peter. ‘Well then,’ continued Jesus, ‘their sons go free.
Petrus nataa nae, “‘Mia atahori feaꞌ!” Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, na maneꞌ a anan afiꞌ bae, to?
27 Still, so we don’t offend them, go and throw a line into the sea; take the first fish that rises, open its mouth, and you will find in it a piece of money. Take that, and give it to the collectors for both of us.’
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.”
