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.
And after six days Jesus took Cephas, and James, and John his brother, and conducted them alone to a high mountain.
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.
And Jesus was changed before them: and his face shone like the sun; and his vestments became white like the light.
3 Te vaengah Moses neh Elijah te amih taengah pakcak ha thoeng tih Boeipa nehhmaih cal uh.
And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, in conversation with him.
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 Cephas answered and said to Jesus: My Lord, it is good for us to be here: and, if it please thee, we will make here three booths; one for thee, and 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.
And while he was yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and there was a voice from the cloud which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have pleasure; hear ye him.
6 Hnukbang rhoek loh a yaak vaengah a maelhmai a buenglueng uh tih bahoeng a rhih uh.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were much afraid.
7 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a paan tih a taek phoeiah, “Thoo uh rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
And Jesus came to them and touched them, and said: Arise, and be not afraid.
8 A mik a huel uh daengah Jesuh amah bueng pawt atah uh khaw hmu uh pawh.
And they raised their eyes, and they saw no person, except 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.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, and said to them: Speak of this vision before no person, until the Son of man shall have arisen 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, and said to him: 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.
Jesus answered, and said to them: Elijah doth first come, to fulfill every thing.
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.
And I say to you. That, behold, Elijah hath come, and they did not know him; and they have done to him whatever they pleased: and, in like manner, also the Son of man is to suffer from them.
13 Te daengah amih ham tuinuem Johan kawng ni a. thui pah te hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuhming uh.
Then the disciples understood, that he spake to them of John the Baptizer.
14 Hlangping taengla a pawk uh vaengah anih te hlang pakhat loh a paan.
And when they came to the multitude, a man approached him, and bowed himself on his knees,
15 A taengah cungkueng tih, “Boeipa ka ca he rhen mai, rhaihum dongah bahoeng patang coeng, tui khuila, hmai khuila cungku taitu coeng.
and said to him: My Lord, compassionate me. I have a son who is a lunatic, and grievously afflicted; for often he falleth 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 thy disciples, and they could not heal 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.
Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? and how long bear with 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.
And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it departed from him: and from that hour the child was healed.
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.
Then came the disciples to Jesus, apart, and said to him: Why could not we heal him?
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.
Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, That if there be in you faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye may say to this mountain, Remove hence, and it will remove: and nothing will be too hard for you.
21 Tedae, thangthuinah neh yaehnah nen pawt koinih hebang he poengla coe thai mahpawh
But this kind goeth not out, except by fasting and prayer.
22 Galilee ah a sisuk uh vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Hlang capa tah hlang kut ah a voeih tom coeng.
And while they were resident in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is 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; and the third day he will arise. And it saddened them much.
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.
And when they came to Capernaum, those who receive the two drachmas of capitation money came to Cephas, and said to him: Doth not your rabbi pay his two drachmas?
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.
He said to them, Yes. And when Cephas had entered the house, Jesus anticipated him and said to him: How doth it appear to thee, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute and capitation money? of their children, or of aliens?
26 “Hlanglang taengkah,” a ti nah hatah Jesuh loh, “Te dongah a ca ni aka loeih.
Simon said to him: Of aliens. Jesus said to him: Then the children are 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.
But still, lest they be stumbled with us, go thou to the sea and cast in a fish-hook, and the fish that shall first come up, open its mouth, and thou wilt find a stater: that take, and give for me and for thyself.
