Matthew 17
1 Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up 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 brilliant 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 Behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah 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 desire, I will make here three shelters—one for you, and 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, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, there was a voice 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 face and were very afraid.
At nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, ay nangasubasub sila, at lubhang nangatakot.
7 Then 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 Then they looked up but saw no one except Jesus only.
At sa paglingap ng kanilang mga mata, ay wala silang nakitang sinoman, kundi si Jesus lamang.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Report this vision to no one 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 His disciples asked him, saying, “Why then 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 Jesus answered and said, “Elijah will indeed come and 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, Elijah has already come, but they did not recognize him. Instead, they did whatever they wanted to him. In the same way, the Son of Man will also suffer at their hands.”
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 was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
Nang magkagayo'y napagunawa ng mga alagad na si Juan Bautista ang sa kanila'y sinasabi niya.
14 When they had come to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him, and said,
At pagdating nila sa karamihan, ay lumapit sa kaniya ang isang lalake, na sa kaniya'y lumuhod, at nagsasabi,
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers severely. For he often falls into the fire or 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 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
At siya'y dinala ko sa iyong mga alagad, at hindi nila siya mapagaling.
17 Jesus answered and said, “Unbelieving and corrupt generation, how long will I have to stay with you? How long must 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 the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed 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 could we not cast it out?”
Nang magkagayo'y nagsilapit na bukod ang mga alagad kay Jesus, at nangagsabi, Bakit baga hindi namin napalabas yaon?
20 Jesus said to them, “Because of your small faith. For I truly say to you, if you have faith even as small as a grain of mustard seed, you can say to 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 stayed in Galilee, Jesus said to his disciples, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of people,
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.” The disciples became very upset.
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, the men who collected the half-shekel tax came to Peter and said, “Does not your teacher pay the half-shekel tax?”
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 Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first and said, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes? From their sons or from others?”
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 When he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free.”
At nang sabihin niya, Sa nangaiiba, ay sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Kung gayo'y hindi nangagbabayad ang mga anak.
27 But so that we do not cause the tax collectors to sin, go to the sea, throw in a hook, and draw in the fish that comes up first. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to the tax collectors 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.
