Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Mme erile morago ga malatsi a le marataro Jesu a tsaya Petere, Jakobe le Johane monnawe go tlhatlogela kwa setlhoweng sa thaba e e godileng e e kwa thoko.
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mme erile ba etse tlhoko, ponalo ya gagwe ya fetoga mo e leng gore sefatlhego sa gagwe se ne sa phatshima jaaka letsatsi, le diaparo tsa gagwe tsa nna bosweu jo bo fatlhang.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
Ka tshoganetso ga bonala Moshe le Elija ba bua nae.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Petere a bua ka tshoganetso a re, “Morena, go molemo gore re be re le fano. Fa o rata, ke tlaa aga metlaagana e le meraro o mongwe e le wa gago, o mongwe e nne wa ga Moshe, o mongwe e nne wa ga Elija.”
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Mme erile a sa bua jalo, leru le le sedifetseng la tla fa godimo ga bone, mme lentswe le le tswang mo lerung la re, “Yo ke morwaake yo o rategang, mme ke itumela thata mo go ene. Mo utlweng.”
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Mo tiragalong e, barutwa ba wela fa fatshe ka difatlhogo ba tsenywe ke letshogo le legolo.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Jesu a tla kwa go bone a ba ama a ba raya a re, “Tsogang, se boifeng.”
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Mme ya re ba leba, ya bo e le Jesu fela yo o nang nabo.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Mme ya re ba fologa thaba, a ba laya gore ba se ka ba itsise ope se ba se boneng go fitlhelela a tsoga mo baswing.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
Barutwa ba gagwe ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke eng fa baeteledipele ba Sejuda ba gatelela gore Elija o tshwanetse go boa pele ga Mesia a tla?”
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Ba bua sentle. Elija o tshwanetse go tla go baya sengwe le sengwe ka fa thulaganyong.
12 But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Mme legale o setse a tsile, mme ga a a ka a lemogwa, o na a sotlwa ke batho thata. Mme le Nna Morwa Motho ke tlaa sotlega mo diatleng tsa bone.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Hong barutwa ba lemoga fa a bua kaga Johane wa Mokolobetsi.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Erile ba goroga kwa tlase ga thaba, bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa bo bo ba letile. Monna mongwe a tla a khubamela Jesu a re,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
“Morena, utlwela morwaake botlhoko, ka gore o tlhakatlhakanye tlhaloganyo, re mo bothatengjo bogolo, ka gore o a tle a wele mo molelong kgotsa mo metsing.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Jalo ke ne ka mo lere mo barutweng ba gago, mme ba retelelwa ke go mo fodisa.”
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Ao batho ke lona ba ba ditlhogo di thata ba ba senang tumelo! Ke tlaa nna le lona boleele bo le kae? Mo lereng kwano go nna.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Hong Jesu a kgalemela mowa o o maswe o o mo mosimaneng mme wa tswa mo go ene, mme go simolola ka lobaka loo mosimane a fola.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Moragonyana barutwa ba botsa Jesu mo sephiring ba re, “Ke ka ntlha yang fa re ne re sa kgone go kgoromeletsa mowa o o maswe kwa ntle?”
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ke ka ntlha ya tumelo ya lona e potlana. Gonne fa lo no lo na le tumelo le fa e le e nnyennyane jaaka peo e tshesane ya mosetara lo no lo ka raya thaba e lwa re ‘Suta!’ mme e ne e tlaa sutela kgakala. Ga go na se se neng se ka retela.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Mme mofuta o wa mowa o o maswe ga o ka ke wa tsamaya fa e se fela lo rapetse lo ikiditse dijo.”
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Letsatsi lengwe fa ba sale mo Galalea Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ke ya go okelwa mo nonofong ya ba ba tlaa mpolayang, mme e tla re ka letsatsi la boraro ke tlaa tsoga mo baswing.” Mme dipelo tsa barutwa tsa tlala khutsafalo le poifo.
23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Mo kgorogong ya bone kwa Kaperanama, baphuthi ba lekgetho la tempele ba tla mo go Petere ba mmotsa ba re, “A mong wa lona ga a duele lekgetho?”
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Petere a araba a re, “Ee, o a le duela.” Hong a tsena mo ntlung go bolelela Jesu ka potso ya makgetho, mme e rile pele ga a ka bua, Jesu a mmotsa a re, “O akanyang Petere? A dikgosi di phutha makgetho mo bathung ba tsone, kgotsa mo go batswakwa ba ba fentsweng?”
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Mme Petere a fetola a re, “Mo go batswakwa.” Jalo he, Jesu a re, “Go siame.” “Beng-ba legae ba gololesegile! Le fa go ntse jalo, ga re batle go ba kgopisa, jalo fologela kwa lotshitshing o konopele sekgoge (huku e e tshwarang ditlhapi), o atlhamolole molomo wa tlhapi ya ntlha e o e tshwarang. O tlaa bona ledi le le tlaa lekanang makgetho a rona rotlhe; le tseye mme o ba duele!”
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
