Matthew 17
1 And after sixe dayes, Iesus tooke Peter, and Iames and Iohn his brother, and brought them vp into an hie mountaine apart,
Le ŋkeke ade megbe la, Yesu kplɔ Petro, Yakobo kple nɔvia Yohanes ɖe asi woyi to kɔkɔ aɖe dzi. Teƒe sia zi ɖoɖoe nyuie.
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the Sunne, and his clothes were as white as the light.
Le toa dzi la, Yesu ƒe dzedzeme trɔ enumake. Eƒe mo de asi keklẽ me abe ɣe ene, eye eƒe awu fu tititi abe kekeli ene.
3 And beholde, there appeared vnto them Moses, and Elias, talking with him.
Kasia Mose kple Eliya va do ɖe egbɔ, eye wonɔ dze ɖom kplii.
4 Then answered Peter, and saide to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: if thou wilt, let vs make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Petro gblɔ na Yesu be, “Aƒetɔ, enyo ŋutɔ be míele afi sia! Ne èlɔ̃ la, na míawɔ agbadɔ etɔ̃, ɖeka nanye tɔwò, ɖeka nanye Mose tɔ, ɖeka nanye Eliya hã tɔ.”
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them: and beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased: heare him.
Esi wònɔ nya sia gblɔm la, lilikpo keklẽ aɖe va tsyɔ wo dzi, eye gbe aɖe ɖi tso lilikpo la me gblɔ be, “Ame siae nye Vinye si gbɔ nyemelɔ̃a nu le o, si dzea ŋunye. Miɖo toe.”
6 And when the disciples heard that, they fell on their faces, and were sore afraide.
Esi gbe la nɔ ɖiɖim alea la, dzidzi ƒo nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo, eye wotsyɔ mo anyi kple vɔvɔ̃.
7 Then Iesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraide.
Ke Yesu va wo gbɔ, eye wòka asi wo ŋu gblɔ na wo be, “Mitsi tsitre, eye migavɔ̃ o.”
8 And when they lifted vp their eyes, they sawe no man, saue Iesus onely.
Esi wofɔ mo dzi la, Yesu ɖeka ko wokpɔ.
9 And as they came downe from the moutaine, Iesus charged them, saying, Shewe the vision to no man, vntil the Sonne of man rise againe from the dead.
Esime wonɔ ɖiɖim tso toa dzi la, Yesu de se na wo vevie be womegagblɔ nu si teƒe wokpɔ la na ame aɖeke o, va se ɖe esime yeafɔ tso ame kukuwo dome hafi.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come?
Nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Nu ka ta agbalẽfialawo nɔa gbɔgblɔm godoo be ele be Eliya nagava hafi Kristo la nava ɖo?”
11 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Certeinely Elias must first come, and restore all thinges.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ele eme nenema. Ele be Eliya nava, aɖɔ nu sia nu ɖo hafi Kristo la nava.
12 But I say vnto you that Elias is come alreadie, and they knewe him not, but haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would: likewise shall also the Sonne of man suffer of them.
Ke mele egblɔm na mi be, Eliya gatrɔ va xoxo, gake amewo mekpɔe dze sii o, eya ta wowɔ nu sia nu si wodi be yewoawɔe la. Nenema ke Amegbetɔ Vi la hã akpe fu le woƒe asimee.”
13 Then the disciples perceiued that he spake vnto them of Iohn Baptist.
Nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔe dze sii be Yohanes Mawutsitanamela ŋutie Yesu nɔ nu ƒom le.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certaine man, and fell downe at his feete,
Esi wova ɖo toa te la, wokpɔ ameha gã aɖe nɔ afi ma nɔ wo lalam. Enumake ŋutsu aɖe do tso ameha la dome va dze klo ɖe Yesu ƒe akɔme gblɔ be,
15 And saide, Master, haue pitie on my sonne: for he is lunatike, and is sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
“Aƒetɔ, kpɔ nublanui na vinye ŋutsuvi sia; ele kpeŋuidɔ lém, eye wòle fu kpem nublanuitɔe. Ne kpeŋuidɔ la dze edzi ɣe aɖewo ɣi la, enana be wòdzea dzo alo tsi me.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heale him.
Mekplɔe vɛ na wò nusrɔ̃lawo, gake womete ŋu da gbe le eŋu o.”
17 Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, how long now shall I be with you! howe long nowe shall I suffer you! bring him hither to me.
Yesu ɖo eŋu gblɔ be, “O! Mi dzidzime kpaɖikpaɖi, dzimaxɔsetɔ siawo, ŋkeke neni wòle be manɔ anyi kpli mi hafi miaxɔ dzinye ase? Aleke gbegbe magbɔ dzi ɖi na mi? Mikplɔ ɖevi la va afi sia nam.”
18 And Iesus rebuked the deuill, and he went out of him: and the childe was healed at that houre.
Yesu blu ɖe gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la ta, eye wòdo go le ɖevi la me ale be eƒe lãme sẽ enumake.
19 Then came the disciples to Iesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Esia megbe la, nusrɔ̃lawo va bia Yesu dzaa be, “Nu ka ta míawo míete ŋu nya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do goe o mahã?”
20 And Iesus said vnto them, Because of your vnbeliefe: for verely I say vnto you, if ye haue faith as much as is a graine of mustarde seede, ye shall say vnto this mountaine, Remooue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue: and nothing shalbe vnpossible vnto you.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Elabena xɔse ʋɛ aɖe koe le mia si. Mele egblɔm na mi nyateƒetɔe be ne miaƒe xɔse le sue abe logoku ene hã la, miate ŋu agblɔ na to sia be, ‘Ho le teƒe sia’, eye wòaho. Naneke wɔwɔ masesẽ na mi o. [
21 Howbeit this kinde goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting.
Ke miate ŋu anya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ siawo ƒomevi o, negbe ɖe miedo gbe ɖa hetsi nu dɔ hafi.]”
22 And they being in Galile, Iesus said vnto them, The Sonne of man shall be deliuered into the handes of men,
Esi wogaƒo wo ɖokuiwo nu ƒu le Galilea la, Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Wole Amegbetɔ Vi la de ge asi na amewo,
23 And they shall kill him, but the thirde day shall he rise againe: and they were very sorie.
woawui, eye le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, woafɔe ɖe tsitre.” Esia na nusrɔ̃lawo yɔ fũu kple nuxaxa.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that receiued polle money, came to Peter, and sayd, Doeth not your Master pay polle money?
Esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va ɖo Kapernaum la, gbedoxɔmenudzɔlawo va Petro gbɔ, eye wobiae be, “Miaƒe Aƒetɔ menaa gbedoxɔmega oa?”
25 He sayd, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whome doe the Kings of the earth take tribute, or polle money? of their children, or of strangers?
Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɛ̃, enanɛ.” Ke esi Petro va ɖo aƒea me la, Yesue nye ame gbãtɔ si ƒo nu. Ebia Petro be, “Simɔn, aleke nèsusu? Ame kawo si anyigbadzifiawo xɔa adzɔga kple duga le, le dukɔmeviwo si loo alo le ame bubuwo si?”
26 Peter sayd vnto him, Of strangers. Then said Iesus vnto him, Then are the children free.
Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Le ame bubuwo si.” Yesu yi edzi gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema mehiã be dukɔmeviwo naxe adzɔga o.”
27 Neuerthelesse, lest we should offend them: goe to the sea, and cast in an angle, and take the first fish that commeth vp, and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt finde a piece of twentie pence: that take, and giue it vnto them for me and thee.
Gake be míagadze agɔ le wo dzi o ta la, yi ɖe ƒuta, eye nàda ƒu. Lã gbãtɔ si nàɖe la, ke eƒe nu me; àkpɔ ga home aɖe si ade nye kple wò ƒe gadzɔdzɔ la nu. Tsɔe ɖaxe nye kple wò ƒe mawuxɔmenudzɔdzɔ lae.
