< 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.
At pagkaraan ng anim na araw, ay isinama ni Jesus si Pedro, at si Santiago, at si Juan na kapatid niya, at sila'y dinalang bukod sa isang mataas na bundok:
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
At nagbagong-anyo siya sa harap nila; at nagliwanag ang kaniyang mukha na katulad ng araw, at pumuting tulad sa ilaw ang kaniyang mga damit.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
At narito, napakita sa kanila si Moises at si Elias na nakikipagusap sa kaniya.
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."
At sumagot si Pedro, at sinabi kay Jesus, Panginoon, mabuti sa atin ang tayo'y dumito: kung ibig mo, ay gagawa ako rito ng tatlong tabernakulo; isa ang sa iyo, at isa ang kay Moises, at isa ang kay Elias.
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."
Samantalang nagsasalita pa siya, narito, ang isang maningning na alapaap ay lumilim sa kanila: at narito, ang isang tinig na mula sa alapaap, na nagsasabi, Ito ang sinisinta kong Anak, na siya kong kinalulugdan; siya ang inyong pakinggan.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
At nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, ay nangasubasub sila, at lubhang nangatakot.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
At lumapit si Jesus at sila'y tinapik, at sinabi, Mangagbangon kayo, at huwag kayong mangatakot.
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
At sa paglingap ng kanilang mga mata, ay wala silang nakitang sinoman, kundi si Jesus lamang.
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."
At habang sila'y nagsisibaba mula sa bundok, ay iniutos sa kanila ni Jesus, na nagsasabi, Huwag ninyong sabihin kanino mang tao ang pangitain, hanggang sa ang Anak ng tao ay ibangon sa mga patay.
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
At tinanong siya ng kaniyang mga alagad, na nangagsasabi, Bakit nga sinasabi ng mga eskriba na kinakailangang pumarito muna si Elias?
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
At sumagot siya, at sinabi, Katotohanang si Elias ay paririto, at isasauli ang lahat ng mga 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."
Datapuwa't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na naparito na si Elias, at hindi nila siya nakilala, kundi ginawa nila sa kaniya ang anomang kanilang inibig. Gayon din naman ang Anak ng tao ay magbabata sa kanila.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Nang magkagayo'y napagunawa ng mga alagad na si Juan Bautista ang sa kanila'y sinasabi niya.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
At pagdating nila sa karamihan, ay lumapit sa kaniya ang isang lalake, na sa kaniya'y lumuhod, at nagsasabi,
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.
Panginoon, mahabag ka sa aking anak na lalake: sapagka't siya'y himatayin, at lubhang naghihirap; sapagka't madalas na siya'y nagsusugba sa apoy, at madalas sa tubig.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
At siya'y dinala ko sa iyong mga alagad, at hindi nila siya mapagaling.
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."
At sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, Oh lahing walang pananampalataya at taksil, hanggang kailan titiisin ko kayo? dalhin ninyo siya rito sa akin.
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
At pinagwikaan siya ni Jesus; at ang demonio ay lumabas sa kaniya: at ang bata'y gumaling mula nang oras ding yaon.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Nang magkagayo'y nagsilapit na bukod ang mga alagad kay Jesus, at nangagsabi, Bakit baga hindi namin napalabas yaon?
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."
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Dahil sa kakauntian ng inyong pananampalataya: sapagka't katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Kung magkaroon kayo ng pananampalataya na kasinglaki ng butil ng binhi ng mostasa, ay masasabi ninyo sa bundok na ito, Lumipat ka mula rito hanggang doon; at ito'y lilipat; at sa inyo'y hindi may pangyayari.
Datapuwa't ang ganito'y hindi lumalabas kundi sa pamamagitan ng panalangin at ayuno.
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,
At samantalang sila'y nangakahimpil sa Galilea, ay sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Ang Anak ng tao ay ibibigay sa mga kamay ng mga tao;
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
At siya'y papatayin nila, at sa ikatlong araw ay siya'y muling ibabangon. At sila'y lubhang nangamanglaw,
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?"
At pagdating nila sa Capernaum, ay nangagsilapit kay Pedro ang mga maniningil ng kalahating siklo, at nangagsabi, Hindi baga pinagbabayaran ng inyong guro ang kalahating siklo?
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?"
Sinabi niya, Oo. At nang pumasok siya sa bahay, ay pinangunahan siya ni Jesus, na nagsasabi, Anong akala mo, Simon? ang mga hari sa lupa, kanino baga sila nanganiningil ng kabayaran ng buwis? sa kanilang mga anak baga o sa nangaiiba?
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
At nang sabihin niya, Sa nangaiiba, ay sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Kung gayo'y hindi nangagbabayad ang mga anak.
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."
Datapuwa't, baka katisuran tayo nila, ay pumaroon ka sa dagat, at ihulog mo ang kawil, at kunin mo ang unang isdang lumitaw; at pagka naibuka mo na ang kaniyang bibig, ay masusumpungan mo ang isang siklo: kunin mo, at ibigay mo sa kanila sa ganang akin at sa iyo.
