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.
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into an high mountain apart,
2 Ke elos liye na, Jesus el ekla ye mutaltal: saromrom mutal oana faht uh, ac nuknuk lal arulana fasrfasr pikapakla.
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 Na mwet tumal lutlut tolu ah liyalak Moses ac Elijah sramsram nu sin Jesus.
And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
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.”
Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
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 he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him.
6 Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos lohng pusra sac, elos arulana sangengla, na elos faksufi.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Jesus el tuku nu yorolos ac kahlulosi, ac fahk, “Tuyak, nimet sangeng!”
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 Na elos ngetak ac wangin mwet elos liye, a Jesus mukena.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
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.”
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again 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?”
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Pwaye lah Elijah el ac tuku meet, ac el ac fah akoela ma nukewa.
And Jesus answered and said to them, Elias truly shall first come, and 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 say to you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him whatever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos kalemak lah el kaskas kacl John Baptais.
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
14 Ke elos folokla nu yurin un mwet uh, oasr sie mukul tuku nu yurin Jesus, su faksufi ye mutal
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
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: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for often he falls into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 Nga tuh usalu nu yurin mwet tomom lutlut, tuh elos koflana akkeyalla.”
And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure 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!”
Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him 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.
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yurin Jesus in lukma ac siyuk sel, “Efu kut ku kofla lusla demon sac?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him 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!” [
And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 “Tusruktu pre ac lalo mukena pa ku in sisla kain inge; wangin ma saya ku in sisla.”]
However, this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Ke mwet tumal lutlut nukewa fahsreni nu Galilee, Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang nu inpoun mwet
And while they stayed in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man shall be betrayed 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.
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
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?”
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Does not your master pay tribute?
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?”
He says, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What think you, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Ac Peter el fahk, “Mwet sac uh.” Na Jesus el fahk, “Fin ouingan, kalem lah mwet in acn se ac tia moli.
Peter says to him, Of strangers. Jesus says to him, Then are the children free.
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.”
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go you to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first comes up; and when you have opened his mouth, you shall find a piece of money: that take, and give to them for me and you.
