Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.
Makalipas ang anim na araw, isinama ni Jesus sina Pedro, Santiago at si Juan na kaniyang kapatid at sila ay dinala niya sa isang mataas na bundok nang sila lang.
2 And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.
Siya ay nagbagong anyo sa kanilang harapan. Ang kaniyang mukha ay nagliwanag na katulad ng araw, at ang kaniyang mga damit ay naging puting-puti katulad ng liwanag.
3 And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him.
Masdan ito, nagpakita sa kanila sina Moises at Elias na nakikipag-usap sa kaniya.
4 And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Nagsalita si Pedro at sinabi kay Jesus, “Panginoon, mabuti na kami ay narito. Kung nais ninyo, gagawa ako dito ng tatlong pagsisilungan—isa para sa inyo, at isa para kay Moises, at isa para kay Elias.”
5 While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.
Habang siya ay nagsasalita pa, masdan ito, isang nakakasilaw na ulap ang lumilim sa kanila, at masdan ito, may isang tinig na mula sa ulap na nagsasabi, “Ito ang minamahal kong Anak na lubos kong kinalulugdan. Makinig kayo sa kaniya.”
6 And at these words the disciples went down on their faces in great fear.
Nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, sila ay nagpatirapa at lubhang natakot.
7 And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.
Pagkatapos, lumapit si Jesus at sila ay hinawakan at sinabi, “Tumayo kayo at huwag kayong matakot.”
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, but Jesus only.
At sila ay tumingala ngunit walang ibang nakita maliban kay Jesus lamang.
9 And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.
Nang pababa na sila sa bundok, inutos ni Jesus sa kanila, na nagsasabi, “Huwag ninyong ipagsabi sa sinuman ang pangitaing ito hanggang ang Anak ng Tao ay muling ibangon mula sa mga patay.”
10 And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?
Tinanong siya ng kaniyang mga alagad, na sinasabi, “Bakit sinasabi ng mga eskriba na kailangan daw munang dumating si Elias?”
11 And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:
Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, “Totoo na darating si Elias at aayusin ang lahat ng mga bagay.
12 But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.
Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, si Elias ay dumating na, ngunit siya ay hindi nila nakilala. Sa halip, ginawa nila ang nais nilang gawin sa kaniya. Sa gayon ding paraan, ang Anak ng Tao ay magdurusa rin sa kanilang mga kamay.”
13 Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.
At naintindihan ng mga alagad na ang tinutukoy niya ay si Juan na Tagapagbautismo.
14 And when they came to the people, a man went down on his knees to him, saying,
Pagbalik nila sa kinaroroonan ng mga tao, lumapit ang isang tao at lumuhod sa kaniyang harapan, at sinabi,
15 Lord have mercy on my son: for he is off his head, and is in great pain; and frequently he goes falling into the fire, and frequently into the water.
“Panginoon, mahabag kayo sa aking anak na lalaki, sapagkat siya ay may epilepsiya at lubhang nahihirapan. Sapagkat madalas siyang nahuhulog sa apoy o sa tubig.
16 And I took him to your disciples, and they were not able to make him well.
Dinala ko siya sa inyong mga alagad, ngunit hindi nila siya mapagaling.
17 And Jesus, answering, said, O false and foolish generation, how long will I be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come here to me.
Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, “Kayong salinlahi na walang pananampalataya at mga baluktot, hanggang kailan ba ako mananatili kasama ninyo? Hanggang kailan ako magtitiis sa inyo? Dalhin ninyo siya sa akin.”
18 And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour.
Sinaway siya ni Jesus at umalis ang demonyo sa kaniya. Gumaling ang bata sa oras ding iyon.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, Why were we not able to send it out?
Pagkatapos nito sarilinang lumapit kay Jesus ang kaniyang mga alagad at sinabi, “Bakit hindi namin ito mapalayas?”
20 And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Dahil maliit ang inyong pananampalataya. Sapagkat katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, kung mayroon kayong pananampalataya na kasinliit ng buto ng mustasa, maaari ninyong sabihin sa bundok na ito, 'Lumipat ka roon,' at lilipat nga ito at walang magiging imposible sa inyo.
(Ngunit hindi mapapalayas ang ganitong uri ng demonyo maliban sa panalangin at pag-aayuno.)
22 And while they were going about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be given up into the hands of men;
Habang sila ay nanatili sa Galilea, sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniyang mga alagad, “Ang Anak ng Tao ay ibibigay sa kamay ng mga tao.
23 And they will put him to death, and the third day he will come again from the dead. And they were very sad.
At siya ay papatayin nila, at mabubuhay siya sa ikatlong araw.” Labis itong ikinalungkot ng kaniyang mga alagad.
24 And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?
Pagdating nila sa Capernaum, lumapit kay Pedro ang mga lalaking naningil ng kalahating siklo ng buwis at sinabi, “Nagbabayad ba ng kalahating siklo ng buwis ang iyong guro?”
25 He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?
Sinabi niya, “Oo.” Ngunit nang pumunta si Pedro sa bahay, una siyang kinausap ni Jesus at sinabi, “Ano sa palagay mo, Simon? Ang mga hari sa lupa, kanino sila tumatanggap ng buwis o ng pagpupugay? Mula sa kanilang mga mamamayan o mula sa mga dayuhan?”
26 And when he said, From other people, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.
Nang sinabi ni Pedro, “Sa mga dayuhan,” sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Kung ganoon hindi kasama ang kanilang mamamayan sa pagbabayad.
27 But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.
Ngunit upang hindi tayo maging sanhi ng pagkakasala ng mga nangongolekta ng buwis, pumunta ka sa dagat, ihagis mo ang iyong pamingwit, at kunin ang unang isda na nahuli. Kapag binuka mo ang bibig nito, makikita mo ang isang siklo. Kunin mo ito at ibigay sa mga nangongolekta ng buwis para sa akin at para sa iyo.”
