Matthew 17
1 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
Sis jou apre sa, Jezi pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan, frè Jak la, li mennen yo pou kont yo sou tèt yon mòn byen wo.
2 There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
Antan Jezi te la, li pran chanje devan yo. Figi l' vin klere tankou solèy la. Rad li vin blan tankou yon limyè.
3 Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
Twa disip yo wè Moyiz ak Eli parèt, yo t'ap pale ak Jezi.
4 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.”
Lè sa a, Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Met, sa bon nèt pou nou isit la. Si ou vle, m'ap moute twa ti kay, yonn pou ou, yonn pou Moyiz ak yonn pou Eli.
5 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!”
Antan Pyè t'ap pale toujou, yon nwaj byen klere vin kouvri yo. Yo tande yon vwa soti nan nwaj la, li di: Sa se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Li fè kè m' kontan anpil. Koute li.
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror.
Lè disip yo tande vwa a yo tonbe fas atè tèlman yo te pè.
7 Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”
Men, Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li manyen yo, li di: Leve non, nou pa bezwen pè.
8 And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
Yo leve je yo, yo wè Jezi te pou kont li.
9 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.”
Antan yo t'ap desann mòn lan, Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: Pa pale ak pesonn sou sa nou sot wè a, jouk mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
10 The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Twa disip yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Poukisa dirèktè lalwa yo di se pou Eli vin anvan?
11 Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.
Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. Eli gen pou l' vin anvan, pou l' mete tout bagay nan lòd.
12 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.”
Men, m'ap di nou sa: Eli vin deja. Men, yo pa t' rekonèt li, yo fè l' tou sa yo te vle. Se onsa tou, yo gen pou yo maltrete Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
13 Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
Lè sa a, disip yo vin konprann li t'ap pale yo sou Jan Batis.
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before Him.
Lè yo rive kote foul moun yo, yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li lage kò l' ajenou devan l', li di:
15 “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.
Mèt, gen pitye pou pitit gason m' lan. Li gen malkadi. Lè ou tande kriz la pran l' konsa, anpil fwa li tonbe nan dife osinon nan dlo.
16 I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
Mwen mennen l' bay disip ou yo, men yo pa t' kapab geri li.
17 “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.”
Jezi reponn: Ala moun san konfyans nan Bondye! Ala move moun! Jouk kilè pou m' rete nan mitan nou? Jouk kilè pou m' sipòte nou? Mennen ti gason an isit ban mwen.
18 Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
Jezi pale sevè ak move lespri a. Lespri a soti. Menm lè a, ti nonm lan geri.
19 Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
Apre sa, disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande l' apa: Poukisa nou pa t' kapab chase move lespri sa a?
20 “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.”
Jezi di yo: Se paske nou manke konfyans nan Bondye. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si nou te gen konfyans nan Bondye gwosè yon ti grenn moutad, nou ta di ti mòn sa a: wete kò ou la, al laba, li ta chanje plas. Pa gen anyen nou pa ta kapab fè.
Men, kalite lespri sa yo, se fòs lapriyè ak jèn ki pou fè yo soti.
22 When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
Yon jou, antan tout disip yo te la ansanm nan peyi Galile, Jezi di yo: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' tonbe anba men lèzòm.
23 They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.
Yo pral touye m', men sou twa jou, m'ap leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Sa te fè disip yo lapenn anpil.
24 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?”
Lè Jezi rive Kapènawòm ak disip li yo, moun ki t'ap ranmase lajan taks pou tanp lan pwoche bò kot Pyè, yo mande li: Eske mèt ou a peye lajan taks pou tanp lan?
25 “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?”
Pyè di: Li peye wi. Antan Pyè ap antre nan kay la, anvan li louvri bouch li, Jezi di l': Sa ou konprann nan sa, Simon? Ki moun ki gen pou peye dwa ak taks bay leta? Sitwayen peyi a, osinon etranje?
26 “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus declared.
Pyè reponn li: Etranje yo. Lè sa a, Jezi di li: Si se konsa, sitwayen yo egzan.
27 “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.”
Men, nou pa vle bay move egzanp: Ale bò lanmè a, voye yon zen nan dlo a. Rale premye pwason ki va mòde ladan l' lan. Louvri bouch li, wa jwenn yon pyès lajan, mezi pou peye taks pa m' ak taks pa ou. Pran l', al peye pou nou de.
