Matthai 17
1 Khohnin hnin rhuk phoeiah Jesuh loh Peter, James neh a mana Johan te a khuen tih amih te tlang sang sola hloep a khuen.
Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and Jamesand his brother John, and led them up a high mountain, by themselves apart.
2 Te vaengah Jesuh tah amih kah hmaiah thohai uh tih, a maelhmai te khomik bangla sae. A himbai tah hmaivang bangla a bok la om.
Here he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
3 Te vaengah Moses neh Elijah te amih taengah pakcak ha thoeng tih Boeipa nehhmaih cal uh.
And behold! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.
4 Te dongah Peter loh Jesuh te a doo tih, “Boeipa heah he mamih om ham then tih, na ngaih atah dap pathum ah pahoi ka saii eh?, nang ham pakhat, Moses ham pakhat, Elijah ham pakhat saeh,” a ti nah.
Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 Peter a cal li vaengah aka phaa khomai loh amih te a dah. Te vaengah khomai khui lamkah ol loh, “He tah ka capa thintlo ni, a soah ka lungtlun, a ol hnatun pa uh, “tarha a ti.
While he was yet speaking, behold! a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and a voice out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom is my delight. Listen to him."
6 Hnukbang rhoek loh a yaak vaengah a maelhmai a buenglueng uh tih bahoeng a rhih uh.
When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified.
7 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a paan tih a taek phoeiah, “Thoo uh rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus came to them and touched them, saying, "Rise, have no fear!"
8 A mik a huel uh daengah Jesuh amah bueng pawt atah uh khaw hmu uh pawh.
And when they raised their eyes they saw no one save Jesus only.
9 Tlang lamloh a suntlak uh vaengah amih te Jesuh loh a uen tih, “Mangthui he Hlang Capa duek lamloh a thoh hlan atah thui boeh,” a ti nah.
While they were going down from the mountain, Jesus laid a command on them. "Speak to no man about the vision," he said, "until after the Son of man has been raised from the dead."
10 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh Jesuh te a dawt uh tih, “Balae tih cadaek rhoek loh, 'Elijah he ha pawk lamhma ham a kuek,’ a ti uh?” a ti nah.
And his disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
11 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Elijah tah ha pawk ngawn coeng tih boeih a thoh pawn ni.
And he answered. "Elijah is coming, and will restore all things.
12 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, Elijah tah ha pawk oepsoeh dae anih te hmat uh pawt tih a ngaih uh sarhui neh Johan te a saii uh. Tangkhuet la hlang capa loh amih kah nganboh a yok tom coeng,” a ti nah.
"Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."
13 Te daengah amih ham tuinuem Johan kawng ni a. thui pah te hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuhming uh.
Then the disciples divined that he had been speaking to them about John, the Baptist.
14 Hlangping taengla a pawk uh vaengah anih te hlang pakhat loh a paan.
As they reached the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and fell on his knees before him, saying.
15 A taengah cungkueng tih, “Boeipa ka ca he rhen mai, rhaihum dongah bahoeng patang coeng, tui khuila, hmai khuila cungku taitu coeng.
"Master, take pity on my son, for he is an epileptic and sore distressed. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 Anih he na hnukbang rhoek taengla ka khuen dae a hoeih sak uh thai moenih,” a ti nah.
"And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him."
17 Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Aka tangnahmueh kah cadil neh aka pamdah aw, nangmih taengah meyet nim ka om eh? Nangmih te meyet nim kan yaknaem ve, anih te kamah taengla pahoi hang khuen,” a ti nah.
In reply Jesus said. "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him here to me!"
18 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh rhaithae te a ho tih rhaithae loh camoe te a nong tak. Te dongah te vaeng tue lamloh camoe te hoeih.
Then Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, and it came out of him; and the boy was cured from that very hour.
19 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek loh Jesuh te hloep a paan uh tih, “Balae tih anih te ka haek uh thai pawh,” a ti na uh.
Thereupon Jesus’ disciples came to him and asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"
20 Te dongah, “Nangmih kah hnalvalnah kongah ni. Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, mukang mu bang mah tangnah na khueh koinih, hekah tlang he kela thoeih na ti vaengah thoeih vetih na tloel tlaih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
"Because of your little faith," he answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith the size of a mustard-seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from this place to that!’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
21 Tedae, thangthuinah neh yaehnah nen pawt koinih hebang he poengla coe thai mahpawh
"But this kind is driven out by prayer alone."
22 Galilee ah a sisuk uh vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Hlang capa tah hlang kut ah a voeih tom coeng.
As they continued going from place to place in Galilee, Jesus said to them. "The Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men;
23 Anih te a ngawn uh vetih a thum hnin ah thoo ni,” a ti nah tih mat a khothae uh.
"and they will kill him, but on the third day he will rise again." And they were greatly grieved.
24 Kapernaum la a pawk uh vaengah cawn aka doe rhoek loh Peter te a paan uh tih, “Na saya loh cawn a paek moenih?” a ti nah.
As they came into Capernaum the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and asked, "Does not your Teacher pay the temple tax?"
25 Peter loh, “Ue,” a ti nah. Im la a pawk uh vaengah Jesuh loh a khal tih, “Simon, nang balae na poek? Diklai manghai rhoek loh u taengkah lamkhong neh mangmu lae a loh? Amih ca rhoek lamkah a? hlanglang lamkah a?” a ti nah.
"Indeed he does," answered Peter. But on Peter’s entering the house, Jesus forestalled him, saying. "How does it seem to you, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect customs or taxes-from their own people, or from aliens?"
26 “Hlanglang taengkah,” a ti nah hatah Jesuh loh, “Te dongah a ca ni aka loeih.
And when he replied, "From aliens," Jesus said. "Then their people go free.
27 Te cakhaw amih te n'khah ham om pawh. Tuili la cet lamtah ngavaih te voei uh. Te vaengah nga aka loe lamhma te lo uh. Tedae a ka a ang vaengah tangka na hmuh ni. Te te lo lamtah nang neh kai ham amih te pae,” a ti nah.
"Nevertheless, that we may not give offense, go to the seaside, throw in your hook; take the first fish that rises, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel in it. Take it and give it to them for us both."
