Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Sis jou pita, Jésus te pran Pierre, Jacques ak frè li, Jean pou kont yo, e te mennen yo sou yon mòn byen wo.
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Konsa, Li te transfòme la devan yo. Figi Li te klere tankou solèy la, e vètman li te vin blanch tankou limyè.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Epi konsa, gade, yo te wè Moïse ak Elie ki t ap pale avèk Li.
4 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Pierre te di a Jésus: “Senyè, se bon pou nou isit la. Si Ou vle, m ap fè twa tabènak isit la; youn pou Ou, youn pou Moïse, e youn pou Elie.”
5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
Pandan Li t ap pale, vwala, yon nwaj byen briyan te kouvri yo. E konsa, yon vwa sòti nan nwaj la e te di: “Sa se Fis byeneme Mwen an. Avèk Li, Mwen byen kontan. Koute Li!”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Lè disip Li yo te tande sa, yo te tonbe sou figi yo byen sezi avèk laperèz.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Jésus te vin kote yo. Li te touche yo, e te di: “Leve, e pa pè.”
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
Lè yo leve zye yo, yo pa t wè pèsòn sof ke Jésus ki te la pou kont Li.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
Pandan yo t ap desann mòn nan, Jésus te kòmande yo: “Pa pale pèsòn afè vizyon sila a jiskaske Fis a Lòm nan fin leve soti nan lanmò.”
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
Epi disip Li yo te mande L: “E poukisa Skrib yo toujou di ke Elie oblije vini avan?”
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Li te reponn yo: “Elie ap vini e l ap restore tout bagay.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."
Men Mwen di nou ke Elie te vini deja, e yo pa t rekonèt li, men yo te fè avè l sa ke yo te pito. Menm jan an, Fis a Lòm nan ap soufri nan men yo.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Konsa, disip yo te vin konprann ke Li t ap pale de Jean Baptiste.
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,
Lè yo rive bò kote foul la, yon mesye te vin tonbe sou jenou devan Li. Li te di L:
15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
“Senyè, gen pitye pou fis mwen an. Li se yon epileptik; li byen malad. Souvan li tonbe nan dife a, e pafwa menm nan dlo.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Mwen te pote li bay disip Ou yo, men yo pa t kapab geri li.”
17 Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
Jésus te reponn. Li te di: “O jenerasyon enkredil e pèvès; pandan konbyen de tan M ap avèk nou? Pandan konbyen de tan M ap sipòte nou? Mennen li ban Mwen!”
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Jésus te reprimande lespri a. Dyab la te sòti sou li, epi jennonm nan te geri lapoula.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Konsa, disip yo te vin kote Jésus an prive. Yo te mande L: “Poukisa nou menm pa t kapab chase l?”
20 So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
Li te di yo: “Paske lafwa nou tèlman piti. Paske konsa Mwen di nou: Si nou gen lafwa gwosè yon grenn moutad, nou ap di a mòn sa a: ‘Deplase ou isit la, ale la,’epi l ap prale. Nanpwen anyen k ap enposib pou nou.
Men kalite sila a pa sòti sof ke pa lapriyè, avèk jèn.”
22 While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Pandan yo t ap rasanble Galilée, Jésus te di yo: “Fis a Lòm nan prèt pou livre nan men a lèzòm.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
Yo va touye Li, e Li va leve nan twazyèm jou a.” Yo te byen tris.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"
Lè yo te ale Capernaüm, sila ki te fè koleksyon taks drachma yo te vin Kote Pierre, Li te mande l: “Èske mèt ou a pa peye taks drachma?”
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"
Li te reponn: “Wi”. Lè Pierre te antre nan kay la, Jésus, akoz Li te konnen sa li t ap mande, te di: “Kisa ou panse, Simon? Nan men ki moun wa sou latè yo ranmase tarif ak enpo? Èske se nan men fis pa yo, oubyen èske se nan men moun yo pa rekonèt?”
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Lè li reponn: “Moun yo pa rekonèt”, Jésus te di l: “Konsa, fis yo egzante.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
Sepandan, pou nou pa ofanse yo, ale bò kote lanmè a; voye yon filè ladann e rale premye pwason ki vini an. Lè nou ouvri bouch li nou va wè yon statère (yon kòb Women). Pran li pote bay yo pou ou ak Mwen.”
