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.
Amhnüp khyuk käna Jesuh naw Pita, Jakuk ja a na Johan mcunga hlüngnaka a jah cehpüi.
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Acunüng Jesuh a hmai khawnghngia mäiha vai lü, a suisak pi akvai mäiha bawk lawki.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Acunüng axüisaw kthum naw Jesuh cun Mosi ja Elijah naw ngthuheipüi ni se ami jah hmuh.
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."
Acunüng Pita naw Jesuh üng, “Bawipa aw, ahia mi ve vai hin daw ve. Na hlüei üng ta, nanga phäh mat, Mosia phäh mat, Elijaha phäh mat, sam kthum ka pha vai sü,” ti lü a mtheh.
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."
Acukba a pyen k'um üng, khawngmei bawk naw jah msung law lü, “Hin hin ka mhläkphyanak pipia ka Capa ni, ani üng ka jeki, a pyen ngai ua” tia, kthai cun ngmei üngka naw ngjakie.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Axüisawe naw ami ngjak üng, aktäa kyühei u lü mce da ngmümkie.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Jesuh naw law lü jah hnetki naw, “Tho law u, käh kyüei ua,” a ti.
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
Ami jeng mdei üng Jesuh amät däk ve se ami hmuh.
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."
Mcung üngka naw ami kyum law be üng, Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Khyanga Capa thihnak üngka naw am a thawh be hama küt üng nami hmuha mdannak hin u üng pi käh nami mtheh vai,” ti lü, a jah cük.
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
Axüisawe naw Jesuh üng, “Acunüng ise thumksinge naw Elijah law ma khai ami ti ni? ti u se,
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Jesuh naw, “Akcanga Elijah cun law ma lü ahmäi jah pyang law khai,” a ti.
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."
Acunüngpi ka ning jah mthehki, Elijah cun law pängki ni. Cunsepi am ksingki he naw ami ngaih ngaiha ami mkhuimkha, acukba bäa Khyanga Capa pi mkhuimkha khaie” a ti.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Acunüng, axüisaw he naw Baptican Johana mawng jah mthehkia ami ksing.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
Khyang hea veia ami nghlat law be üng, khyang mat Jesuha veia law lü ngdängki naw,
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.
“Bawipa aw, ka capa mpyeneia! Kphyaw se aläa tui üng ngcum lü am ani üng mei üng lut lü khuikha ve.”
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
“Acunakyase, na xüisawea veia ka lawpüi kyaw amimi naw pi am mdaw be khawh ve u,” a ti.
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."
Jesuh naw, “Jumeinak am takia khyang ksee aw, ivei nami veia ka ve khai ni? Ivei ka ning jah msawkei vai ni? Kpamica ka veia lawpüi ua,” a ti.
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Jesuh naw khawyai jüi se kpamica üngka naw lut law beki. Acunja kpamica cun daw beki.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Acunüng axüisaw he Jesuha veia ampyua law u lü, “Ise keimi naw am kami ksät khawh ni,” ti lü ami kthäh.
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."
Jesuh naw, “Nami jumeinak a ngceka phäh ni, akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, anca ui teh jumnak nami tak üng, hina mcung üng ‘Caia ngpyawta’ nami ti üng ngpyawt khai. Ai pi, am nami pawh khawh käh ve khai,” ti lü, a jah mtheh.
Ahina ngkhaw cun ei jeihnak ja ktaiyünak am ni mkhüt khawh” a ti.
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,
Kalilea ami ve üng Jesuh naw, “Khyanga Capa, khyang hea kut üng petnak vaia kcün pha lawki ni,”
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
hnim u se, amhnüp kthum üng tho law be khai,” ti lü jah mtheh se, axüisaw he aktäa vedamkie.
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?"
Kapenawm mlüh Jesuh ja axüisaw he ami law üng, temple khawn kawkie cun Pita veia law u lü, “Nami saja naw temple khawn am pe hlüki mä? ti lü ami kthäh.
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?"
Pita naw, “Ä, peki ni,” a ti. Pita im k'uma a luh üng, ‘Jesuh naw, “Sihmon Pita, ihawkba na ngaiki ni” Khawmdek Sangpuxange naw akhawn ami mkhäm üng, ua veia ni ami tä khawi? Khaw mahea veia mä, pekce khyang hea veia mä ami tä khawi? a ti,
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Pita naw, “Pekce khyang hea veia,” a ti. Jesuh naw Pita üng, “Acukba ani üng, khaw mahe naw akhawn pet vai am hlü.”
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."
Acunüngpi, akhawn am mi peta phäh ami mlung käh se khaia, tuia va cit lü nga va mkaiha. Akcüka na phaa nga lo lü a mka na phyen vai. Acunüng tangka mat na hmuh khai. Acun lo lü ka phäh ja na phäha temple khawn va pea,” a ti.
