Matthew 17
1 Now after six days Jesus takes Peter, James and his brother John and leads them up on a high mountain, in private.
Khaw khquk nyn a awm coengawh Jesu ing Piter, Jakob ingkaw a na Johan ce khy nawh a mimah doeng tlang ak sang na ce kaai pyi hy.
2 And He was transfigured before them and his face shone like the sun, while His clothes became as white as the light.
Cawh ce a mingmih a haiawh a myi ce thaw pehy. A hai ce khawmik amyihna vang nawh, a hi awm khawkdai amyihna baawk hy.
3 When wow, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with Him.
Cawh cekkhqi a haiawh Mosi ingkaw Elijah ce dang pe nawh Jesu mi ce pau uhy.
4 Then Peter reacted and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, let us make three booths: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
Cawh Piter ing Jesu a venawh, “Bawipa, vawh awm aham nep soeih hy. Na ngaih awhtaw buk pakthum heen law vang - nang aham pynoet, Mosi aham pynoet, Elijah aham pynoet seh,” tina hy.
5 While he was still speaking a brilliant cloud overshadowed them, and then, a Voice came out of the cloud saying: “This is my beloved Son in whom I am always well pleased. Hear Him!”
Awi ak kqawn huili awh, myi ak vang thlang ing a mingmih ce zawl khqi khoep nawh, myi ak khui awhkaw awi ing, “Vetaw ka lungnaak ka Capa ni; ak khan awh zeel soeih nyng; ak awi ngai pe uh!” tihy.
6 As the disciples heard it they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
A hubatkhqi ing a ming zaak awh kqih soeih unawh a bukhup na koep uhy.
7 Then Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, don't be afraid.”
Cehlai Jesu ing law nawh cekkhqi ce bi hy, “Koeh kqih uh, tho hlah uh,” tina hy.
8 So lifting up their eyes they saw no one but Jesus only.
A mingmih ing ami toek awhtaw, Jesu doeng am kaana taw u awm ak chang am hu uhy.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of the Man is risen from the dead.”
Tlang nakawng ami nuk kqum awh, Jesu ing cekkhqi ce awi yn hy, “Thlanghqing Capa ve thihnaak awhkawng a thawh hlan dy taw, vawhkaw ik-oeih nami huh ve u a venawh awm koeh kqawn uh,” tinak khqi hy.
10 So His disciples questioned Him saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
A hubatkhqi ing doet uhy, “kawtih anaa cawngpyikung khqi ing Elijah lamma na law kaw, a mi ti?” tina uhy.
11 In answer Jesus said to them: “Elijah is indeed coming first, and he will restore all things.
Jesu ing cekkhqi venawh, “Elijah ve lamma na law tak kawmsaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce ak nep na sai tlaih kaw.
12 But I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. Thus also the Son of the Man is about to suffer at their hands.”
Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, Elijah taw law hawh hlai hy, a mingmih ing am hat uhy, ami ngaih saqui ce ak khan awh sai pe uhy, cemih lawt na thlanghqing Capa ingawm a mingmih a kut awh khuikha kaw,” tina hy.
13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
Baptisma ak pekung Johan akawng ni a mingmih a venawh ak kqawn peek, tice a hubatkhqi ing zasim uhy.
14 As they came to the crowd a man approached Him and kneeling to Him said:
Thlang kqeng a venna a mi law awh, thlang pynoet ce a venawh law nawh ak khawkung awh khuk sym pehy.
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is moonstruck and suffers badly! For he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
“Bawipa ka capa ak khan awh qeennaak ta law cang lah, qaw nawh khuikha khing hawh hy. Mai awh tlu poepa hawh hy.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
Na hubatkhqi venawh khyn hlai nyng, am qoei sak thai uhy,” tina hy.
17 Then in answer Jesus said: “O faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.”
Cawh Jesu ing, “Aw cangnaak amak ta thlangkhqi ingkaw kawlung ak hqamkhqi, nangmih ve iqyt nu ka ni awm pyi khqi kaw? Iqyt nu ka ning yh pyi khqi kaw? Ka venna hawlaw lah uh,” tinak khqi hy.
18 And Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him, and the boy was healed from that very hour.
Jesu ing qaai ce zyi nawh, qaai ing cawhkaw naasen ce cehta hy, cawh anih ce qoei tlang hy.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why were we not able to cast it out?”
Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ing aha cana Jesu a venna law unawh, “kawtih kaimih ingtaw am ka mi hqek thai?” tina uhy.
20 So Jesus said to them: “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed has, you (ye) will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Namik cangnaak a zawi a dawngawh ni. Awtak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, antlam ak ui teh mah cangnaak nami taak mantaw, vawhkaw tlang a venawh, 'vawhkawng cena thoeih lah,' nami tinaak awh thoeih kaw. Nangmih aham amak coeng thai ikaw awm am awm kaw.
21 However, this class does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Cehlai vemih ve cykcahnaak ingkaw buh zeihnaak doeng am ingtaw am cet thai hy,” tina hy.
22 While they were staying in Galilee Jesus said to them, “The Son of the Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,
Kalili qam na ami law awh, Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Thlanghqing Capa ve thlangkhqi kut awh pe kawm usaw tu sak kawm uh.
23 and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised.” And they were seriously grieved.
Him kawm usaw, am thum nyn awh tho tlaih kaw,” tina hy. Ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh a hubatkhqi taw amik kaw map hqoeng hy.
24 When they entered Capernaum those who collected the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?”
Kapernaum khaw ami pha law awh mangmu ak cawikhqi ce Piter a venna law unawh, “Nangmih a cawngpyikung ing pumim tangka am cawi nawh aw?” tinawh doet uhy.
25 He says, “Yes.” So when they entered the house Jesus anticipated him saying: “Simon, what do you think? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or poll tax, from their sons or from strangers?”
Anih ing, “Cawi hy,” tinawh hlat hy. Imna a mi luh awh Jesu ing khai nawh, “Simon, ikawmyihna nak poek? Khawmdek sangpahrangkhqi ing u venna nu mangmu ami cawi? Ami cakhqi venna nu, thlak chang vena?” tinawh doet hy.
26 Peter says to Him, “From the strangers.” Jesus said to him: “Well then, the sons are free.
Piter ing a venawh, “Thlak chang a venawh,” tina hy. Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw a cakhqi taw loet timaw ce.
27 But, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And opening its mouth you will find a ‘stater’ [a coin]; take that and give it to them for me and you.”
Cehlai amik kaw a zeelnaak aham, tuili na cet nawh cikkoeih vak thla. Ngam nam tu ma ce lo nawh am kha ce phen pe, tangka hu kawp ti. Lo nawh kai ingkaw namimah hamna cawi,” tina hy.
