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 apre sa, Jezi pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan, frè Jak la, li mennen yo pou kont yo sou tèt 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.
Antan Jezi te la, li pran chanje devan yo. Figi l' vin klere tankou solèy la. Rad li vin blan tankou yon limyè.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Twa disip yo wè Moyiz ak Eli parèt, yo t'ap pale ak Jezi.
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."
Lè sa a, Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Met, sa bon nèt pou nou isit la. Si ou vle, m'ap moute twa ti kay, yonn pou ou, yonn pou Moyiz ak yonn pou Eli.
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."
Antan Pyè t'ap pale toujou, yon nwaj byen klere vin kouvri yo. Yo tande yon vwa soti nan nwaj la, li di: Sa se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Li fè kè m' kontan anpil. Koute li.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Lè disip yo tande vwa a yo tonbe fas atè tèlman yo te pè.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Men, Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li manyen yo, li di: Leve non, nou pa bezwen pè.
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
Yo leve je yo, yo wè Jezi te 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."
Antan yo t'ap desann mòn lan, Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: Pa pale ak pesonn sou sa nou sot wè a, jouk mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
Twa disip yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Poukisa dirèktè lalwa yo di se pou Eli vin anvan?
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. Eli gen pou l' vin anvan, pou l' mete tout bagay nan lòd.
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, m'ap di nou sa: Eli vin deja. Men, yo pa t' rekonèt li, yo fè l' tou sa yo te vle. Se onsa tou, yo gen pou yo maltrete Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Lè sa a, disip yo vin konprann li t'ap pale yo sou Jan Batis.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
Lè yo rive kote foul moun yo, yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li lage kò l' ajenou devan l', li di:
15 and said, "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.
Mèt, gen pitye pou pitit gason m' lan. Li gen malkadi. Lè ou tande kriz la pran l' konsa, anpil fwa li tonbe nan dife osinon nan dlo.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Mwen mennen l' 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."
Jezi reponn: Ala moun san konfyans nan Bondye! Ala move moun! Jouk kilè pou m' rete nan mitan nou? Jouk kilè pou m' sipòte nou? Mennen ti gason an isit ban mwen.
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Jezi pale sevè ak move lespri a. Lespri a soti. Menm lè a, ti nonm lan geri.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Apre sa, disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande l' apa: Poukisa nou pa t' kapab chase move lespri sa a?
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."
Jezi di yo: Se paske nou manke konfyans nan Bondye. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si nou te gen konfyans nan Bondye gwosè yon ti grenn moutad, nou ta di ti mòn sa a: wete kò ou la, al laba, li ta chanje plas. Pa gen anyen nou pa ta kapab fè.
Men, kalite lespri sa yo, se fòs lapriyè ak jèn ki pou fè yo soti.
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,
Yon jou, antan tout disip yo te la ansanm nan peyi Galile, Jezi di yo: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' tonbe anba men lèzòm.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
Yo pral touye m', men sou twa jou, m'ap leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Sa te fè disip yo lapenn anpil.
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 Jezi rive Kapènawòm ak disip li yo, moun ki t'ap ranmase lajan taks pou tanp lan pwoche bò kot Pyè, yo mande li: Eske mèt ou a peye lajan taks pou tanp lan?
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?"
Pyè di: Li peye wi. Antan Pyè ap antre nan kay la, anvan li louvri bouch li, Jezi di l': Sa ou konprann nan sa, Simon? Ki moun ki gen pou peye dwa ak taks bay leta? Sitwayen peyi a, osinon etranje?
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Pyè reponn li: Etranje yo. Lè sa a, Jezi di li: Si se konsa, sitwayen yo egzan.
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."
Men, nou pa vle bay move egzanp: Ale bò lanmè a, voye yon zen nan dlo a. Rale premye pwason ki va mòde ladan l' lan. Louvri bouch li, wa jwenn yon pyès lajan, mezi pou peye taks pa m' ak taks pa ou. Pran l', al peye pou nou de.
