Matthew 17
1 Tukun len onkosr, Jesus el eisal Peter ac tamulel se, James ac John, ac elos utyak nu fin soko eol fulat, ac elos mukena we.
After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
2 Ke elos liye na, Jesus el ekla ye mutaltal: saromrom mutal oana faht uh, ac nuknuk lal arulana fasrfasr pikapakla.
There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
3 Na mwet tumal lutlut tolu ah liyalak Moses ac Elijah sramsram nu sin Jesus.
Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
4 Na Peter el kasla ac fahk nu sin Jesus, “Leum, arulana wo ke kut muta inge uh! Kom fin lungse, nga ac musaela tolu iwen aktuktuk: sie sum, sie sel Moses, ac sie sel Elijah.”
Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 Ke el kaskas, sie pukunyeng na saromrom sonolosi, ac sie pusra in pukunyeng uh me fahk, “El inge Wen kulo saok nutik, su nga insewowo kac. Kowos lohngol!”
While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”
6 Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos lohng pusra sac, elos arulana sangengla, na elos faksufi.
When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror.
7 Jesus el tuku nu yorolos ac kahlulosi, ac fahk, “Tuyak, nimet sangeng!”
Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”
8 Na elos ngetak ac wangin mwet elos liye, a Jesus mukena.
And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9 Ke elos oatui liki fineol uh, Jesus el sap nu selos, “Nimet fahk nu sin kutena mwet ma su komtal liye inge nwe ke na Wen nutin Mwet el akmoulyeyukyak liki misa.”
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
10 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos siyuk sin Jesus, “Efu ku mwet luti Ma Sap elos fahk mu Elijah el ac tuku meet?”
The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Pwaye lah Elijah el ac tuku meet, ac el ac fah akoela ma nukewa.
Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.
12 Tusruktu, nga fahk nu suwos lah Elijah el tuku tari, ac mwet uh tiana akilenul, a elos oru ma na koluk nu sel oana ma elos lungse. Ac elos ac fah oru oapana nu sin Wen nutin Mwet.”
But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”
13 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos kalemak lah el kaskas kacl John Baptais.
Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
14 Ke elos folokla nu yurin un mwet uh, oasr sie mukul tuku nu yurin Jesus, su faksufi ye mutal
When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before Him.
15 ac fahk, “Leum se, pakomuta wen nutik! El musen pulkoa, ac pacl se ac tuyang nu sel uh arulana upa, oru el kwacna putatyang nu in e uh, ku nu inkof uh.
“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.
16 Nga tuh usalu nu yurin mwet tomom lutlut, tuh elos koflana akkeyalla.”
I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17 Na Jesus el fahk, “Fuka lupan selulalfongi ac sesuwos in orekma lomtal uh! Nga ac muta yurumtal nwe ngac? Nga ac muteng komtal nwe ngac? Use tulik sacn nu yuruk!”
“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.”
18 Jesus el sap ku nu sin demon sac, na el illa liki tulik sac, ac in pacl sacna tulik sac kwela.
Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
19 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yurin Jesus in lukma ac siyuk sel, “Efu kut ku kofla lusla demon sac?”
Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
20 Na Jesus el fahk, “Mweyen srikla lulalfongi lowos. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, lulalfongi lowos fin oana luman fiten mustard se, kowos ac ku in fahk nu sin eol soko inge, ‘Fahsrot liki acn se inge nu ingo!’ na ac som. Kowos ac ku in oru kutena ma!” [
“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
21 “Tusruktu pre ac lalo mukena pa ku in sisla kain inge; wangin ma saya ku in sisla.”]
22 Ke mwet tumal lutlut nukewa fahsreni nu Galilee, Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang nu inpoun mwet
When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
23 su ac fah unilya, tusruktu tukun len tolu, el fah sifil akmoulyeyukyak.” Mwet tumal lutlut elos arulana asor ke elos lohng ma inge.
They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.
24 Ke Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut tuku nu Capernaum, mwet eisani tax lun Tempul elos tuku nu yorol Peter ac siyuk, “Ku mwet luti lom el wi moli tax lun Tempul uh?”
After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”
25 Ac Peter el fahk, “Aok.” Ke Peter el ilyak nu in lohm uh, Jesus el kasla meet ac fahk, “Simon, mea kom nunku? Su moli tax ac mwe takma saya nu sin tokosra lun faclu? Ya mwet na in acn se, ku mwet sac uh?”
“Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”
26 Ac Peter el fahk, “Mwet sac uh.” Na Jesus el fahk, “Fin ouingan, kalem lah mwet in acn se ac tia moli.
“From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus declared.
27 Tusruktu kut tia lungse aktoasrye mwet inge. Ke ma inge, kom som nu in lulu uh ac sisla soko ah an. Amakunak ik soko ma kom ahsak oemeet an, ac kom ac fah konauk ipin silver se in oalul ma fal in molela tax luk kom uh nu in Tempul uh. Usla ac sang akfalyela.”
“But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.”
