Matthew 17
1 A week after Jesus [said that], he took Peter, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James, and led them up a high mountain where they were away from other people.
Kuue päeva pärast võttis Jeesus Peetruse, Jaakobuse ja tema venna Johannese endaga kaasa ja nad läksid kõrgele mäele, et omaette olla.
2 [While they were there, the three disciples] saw that Jesus’ appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun, and his clothing [shone and] became as brilliant as light.
Teda muudeti nende silme all. Tema nägu säras nägu päike. Tema riided muutusid valgeks nagu valgus.
3 Suddenly Moses and Elijah, [who were important prophets many years ago], appeared and started talking with him.
Siis äkitselt ilmusid nende ette Mooses ja Eelija ning vestlesid Jeesusega.
4 Peter [saw them and] said to Jesus, “Lord, it is wonderful for us to be here! If you want [me to], I will make three shelters, 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 Peter was speaking, a bright cloud [appeared and] covered them. [They heard God] speaking [about Jesus from] inside the cloud. He said [to them], “This is my Son. I love him. He pleases me very much. [So] you must 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 When the three disciples heard [God speaking], they were terrified. [As a result], they fell prostrate on the ground.
Kui jüngrid seda kuulsid, langesid nad näoli maha ja olid äärmiselt kohkunud.
7 But Jesus went to them and touched them [and] said [to them], “Stand up! Do not be afraid any more!”
Jeesus läks nende juurde ja puudutas neid. „Tõuske üles, “ütles ta neile. „Ärge kartke.“
8 And when they looked up [MTY], they saw that Jesus was the only one [who was still there].
Kui nad üles vaatasid, ei näinud nad kedagi peale Jeesuse.
9 When they were walking down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone what you saw [on the mountain top] until [God has caused me], the one who has come from heaven, to become alive again after I die.”
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 [Those three disciples had just seen Elijah and he did not do anything to prepare people for the coming of the Messiah], so they asked Jesus, “If [what you say is true], why do the men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that it is necessary for Elijah to come [back to earth] before [the Messiah comes]?”
„Miks siis vaimulikud õpetajad ütlevad, et kõigepealt peab tulema Eelija?“küsisid tema jüngrid.
11 Jesus answered [them], “It is true that [God promised that] Elijah would come to prepare many [HYP] [people for the Messiah’s coming].
„Tõsi on, et Eelija tuleb kõike korda seadma, “vastas Jeesus,
12 But note this: Elijah’s [representative] has already come, [and our leaders have seen him], but they did not recognize him [as the one who would come before the Messiah]. Instead, they treated him [badly], just like they desired. And those same rulers will soon treat [me], the one who came from heaven, in the same manner.”
„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 three disciples understood that [when he was talking about Elijah], he was referring to John the Baptizer.
Siis jüngrid mõistsid, et Jeesus viitas Ristija Johannesele.
14 When [Jesus and the three disciples] returned to the [rest of us disciples] and to the crowd [that had gathered], a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
Kui nad lähenesid rahvahulgale, tuli üks mees Jeesuse juurde ja põlvitas tema ette.
15 He said [to him], “Sir/Lord, have mercy on my son and [heal him]! He has epilepsy and suffers very much. [Because of this illness], he has fallen in the fire and in the water many times.
„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 [in order that they might heal him], but they were not able to heal him.”
Ma tõin ta sinu jüngrite juurde, aga nad ei suutnud teda terveks teha.“
17 Jesus responded [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything! Your minds] are distorted! How long do I have to be with you [before you] are [able to do what I do] [RHQ]? How long [do] I have to endure your [not believing] [RHQ]? 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 When [they brought the boy to Jesus], Jesus rebuked the demon [that was causing the epilepsy]. [As a result], the demon came out of the boy, and right then the boy was healed.
Jeesus astus kurjale vaimule vastu ja see lahkus poisist ning poiss sai otsekohe terveks.
19 [Later, some of us] disciples approached Jesus. We asked him privately, “Why were we [(exc)] not able to expel the demon?”
Hiljem tulid jüngrid omaette olles Jeesuse juurde ja küsisid talt: „Miks ei suutnud meie teda välja ajada?“
20 He answered us, “It is because you did not believe very much [in God’s power]. Think about this: Mustard seeds [are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe [that God will do what you ask him to], you will be able to do anything [LIT]! You [could even] say to this hill, ‘Move from here to there!’ and it would go [where you told it to go].”
„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 When [we disciples] had gathered together in Galilee [district], Jesus said to us, “[I], the one who came from heaven, will soon be handed over {[Someone] will soon hand me, the one who came from heaven, over} to the authorities [SYN].
Kui nad koos läbi Galilea kõndisid, rääkis Jeesus neile: „Inimese poeg reedetakse ja inimesed saavad tema üle võimust.
23 They will kill me. But [God] will cause me to become alive again on the third day [after I am killed].” [When we heard that], we became very sad.
Nad tapavad ta, kuid kolmandal päeval tõuseb ta jälle üles.“Jüngrid said väga kurvaks.
24 When we came to Capernaum [city], the men who collect taxes [for the Temple approached Peter and said to him], “Your teacher pays the [Temple tax], does he not?”
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 He answered [them], “Yes, [he does pay it].” When we came into the house [where Jesus was saying], [before Peter began to talk about paying taxes], Jesus said [to him], “Simon, from whom do you think rulers collect revenue or taxes? [Do they collect taxes] from the citizens of their own [country], or from citizens of countries [they have conquered]?”
„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 Peter answered [him], “From [citizens of] other [countries].” Then Jesus said to him, “So citizens of their own [country] do not need to [pay taxes].
„Teistelt, “vastas Peetrus. Niisiis ütles Jeesus talle: „Sel juhul on pojad vabastatud.
27 But [even though the Temple is mine, pay the tax for us so that the Temple tax collectors will not become angry with us. In order to get the money to pay it], go to the lake. Cast your [fish line and] hook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a silver coin [that is worth enough to pay the tax] for you and me. Take that coin and give [it] to the Temple tax collectors.”
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.“
