Matthew 17
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, and the brothers James and John, and led them up a high mountain alone.
Kuue päeva pärast võttis Jeesus Peetruse, Jaakobuse ja tema venna Johannese endaga kaasa ja nad läksid kõrgele mäele, et omaette olla.
2 There his appearance was transformed before their eyes; his face shown like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
Teda muudeti nende silme all. Tema nägu säras nägu päike. Tema riided muutusid valgeks nagu valgus.
3 All at once Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.
Siis äkitselt ilmusid nende ette Mooses ja Eelija ning vestlesid Jeesusega.
4 “Master,” exclaimed Peter, interposing, “it is good to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Peetrus hakkas rääkima ja ütles Jeesusele: „Issand, siin on tõesti hea olla. Kui tahad, teen kolm varjualust − ühe sulle, ühe Moosesele ja ühe Eelijale.“
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and there was a voice from the cloud that said – “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy; listen to him.”
Sel ajal kui ta veel rääkis, tuli hiilgav pilv ja kattis nad. Pilvest kostis hääl, mis ütles: „See on minu poeg, keda ma armastan ja kellest mul on hea meel. Kuulake teda!“
6 The disciples, on hearing this, fell on their faces, greatly afraid.
Kui jüngrid seda kuulsid, langesid nad näoli maha ja olid äärmiselt kohkunud.
7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying as he did so, “Rise up, and do not be afraid.”
Jeesus läks nende juurde ja puudutas neid. „Tõuske üles, “ütles ta neile. „Ärge kartke.“
8 When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself alone.
Kui nad üles vaatasid, ei näinud nad kedagi peale Jeesuse.
9 As they were going down the mountain side, Jesus gave them this warning – “Do not speak of this vision to anyone, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
Kui nad mäelt alla läksid, andis Jeesus neile ranged juhised. „Ärge rääkige kellelegi, mida te nägite, enne kui inimese Poeg on surnuist üles tõusnud, “ütles ta neile.
10 “How is it,” his disciples asked, “that our teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?”
„Miks siis vaimulikud õpetajad ütlevad, et kõigepealt peab tulema Eelija?“küsisid tema jüngrid.
11 “Elijah indeed does come,” Jesus replied, “and will restore everything;
„Tõsi on, et Eelija tuleb kõike korda seadma, “vastas Jeesus,
12 and I tell you that Elijah has already come, and people have not recognized him, but have treated him just as they pleased. In the same way, too, the Son of Man is destined to undergo suffering at people’s hands.”
„aga ma ütlen teile, et Eelija on juba tulnud ja ometi ei tundud inimesed ära, kes ta on. Nad tegid temale seda, mida iganes tahtsid. Samamoodi kannatab ka inimese Poeg nende käte läbi.“
13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
Siis jüngrid mõistsid, et Jeesus viitas Ristija Johannesele.
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and, kneeling down before him, said,
Kui nad lähenesid rahvahulgale, tuli üks mees Jeesuse juurde ja põlvitas tema ette.
15 “Master, take pity on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers terribly; indeed, he often falls into the fire and into the water;
„Issand, palun halasta mu poja peale, “ütles ta. „Ta kaotab mõistuse ja kannatab kohutavate krambihoogude all, mis heidavad teda sageli tulle või vette.
16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
Ma tõin ta sinu jüngrite juurde, aga nad ei suutnud teda terveks teha.“
17 “Faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed, “how long must I be among you? How long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy here to me.”
„Te, inimesed, keeldute minusse uskumast ja olete nii rikutud!“vastas Jeesus. „Kui kauaks pean ma siia teie juurde jääma? Kui kaua ma pean teid taluma? Too ta minu juurde!“
18 Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy; and he was cured from that very hour.
Jeesus astus kurjale vaimule vastu ja see lahkus poisist ning poiss sai otsekohe terveks.
19 Afterward the disciples came up to Jesus, and asked him privately, “Why was it that we could not drive it out?”
Hiljem tulid jüngrid omaette olles Jeesuse juurde ja küsisid talt: „Miks ei suutnud meie teda välja ajada?“
20 “Because you have so little faith!” he answered, “For, I tell you, if your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain ‘Move from this place to that!’ and it would be moved; and nothing would be impossible to you.”
„Sest teil pole piisavalt usku, “ütles Jeesus neile. „Ma ütlen teile, isegi kui teie usk oleks sama pisike kui sinepiseeme, võiksite öelda sellele mäele: „Mine siit teise kohta!“ja see läheks. Miski ei oleks siis teie jaoks võimatu.“
22 While Jesus and his disciples were together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into human hands,
Kui nad koos läbi Galilea kõndisid, rääkis Jeesus neile: „Inimese poeg reedetakse ja inimesed saavad tema üle võimust.
23 and they will put him to death, but on the third day he will rise.” The disciples were greatly distressed.
Nad tapavad ta, kuid kolmandal päeval tõuseb ta jälle üles.“Jüngrid said väga kurvaks.
24 After they had reached Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple taz came up to Peter, and said, “Does not your Master pay the Temple tax?”
Kui nad jõudsid Kapernauma, siis tulid need, kes vastutasid pooleseeklise templimaksu kogumise eest, Peetruse juurde ja küsisid temalt: „Eks ole, sinu õpetaja tasub pooleseeklise maksu?“
25 “Yes,” answered Peter. But, on going into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings take taxes or tribute? From their sons, or from others?”
„Jah, muidugi, “vastas Peetrus. Kui ta jõudis tagasi sinna, kus nad peatusid, ennetas Jeesus küsimust. „Mis sa arvad, Siimon?“küsis Jeesus temalt. „Kas selle maailma kuningad koguvad makse ja koormisi oma poegadelt või teistelt?“
26 “From others,” answered Peter. “Well then,” continued Jesus, “their sons go free.
„Teistelt, “vastas Peetrus. Niisiis ütles Jeesus talle: „Sel juhul on pojad vabastatud.
27 Still, so we don’t offend them, go and throw a line into the sea; take the first fish that rises, open its mouth, and you will find in it a piece of money. Take that, and give it to the collectors for both of us.”
Aga et mitte kedagi pahandada, mine järve äärde ja viska õngenöör konksuga sisse. Tõmba välja esimene kala, mis otsa jääb, ja kui sa tema suu avad, siis leiad sealt stateeri. Võta münt ja anna see neile minu ja sinu eest.“
