Κατα Ματθαιον 17
1 και μεθ ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει ο ιησους τον πετρον και ιακωβον και ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου και αναφερει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ ιδιαν
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up onto a high mountain in private.
2 και μετεμορφωθη εμπροσθεν αυτων και ελαμψεν το προσωπον αυτου ως ο ηλιος τα δε ιματια αυτου εγενετο λευκα ως το φως
And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.
3 και ιδου ωφθη αυτοις μωυσης και ηλιας συλλαλουντες μετ αυτου
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him.
4 αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν τω ιησου κυριε καλον εστιν ημας ωδε ειναι ει θελεις ποιησω ωδε τρεις σκηνας σοι μιαν και μωυσει μιαν και ηλια μιαν
And having responded, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou desire, we could make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 ετι αυτου λαλουντος ιδου νεφελη φωτεινη επεσκιασεν αυτους και ιδου φωνη εκ της νεφελης λεγουσα ουτος εστιν ο υιος μου ο αγαπητος εν ω ευδοκησα ακουετε αυτου
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.
6 και ακουσαντες οι μαθηται επεσαν επι προσωπον αυτων και εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid.
7 και προσηλθεν ο ιησους και αψαμενος αυτων ειπεν εγερθητε και μη φοβεισθε
And having come, Jesus touched them and said, Arise, and fear not.
8 επαραντες δε τους οφθαλμους αυτων ουδενα ειδον ει μη αυτον ιησουν μονον
And having lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only.
9 και καταβαινοντων αυτων εκ του ορους ενετειλατο αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων μηδενι ειπητε το οραμα εως ου ο υιος του ανθρωπου εκ νεκρων εγερθη
And while they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man will rise from the dead.
10 και επηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται λεγοντες τι ουν οι γραμματεις λεγουσιν οτι ηλιαν δει ελθειν πρωτον
And his disciples questioned him, saying, Why then do the scholars say that Elijah must first come?
11 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ηλιας μεν ερχεται και αποκαταστησει παντα
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all.
12 λεγω δε υμιν οτι ηλιας ηδη ηλθεν και ουκ επεγνωσαν αυτον αλλα εποιησαν εν αυτω οσα ηθελησαν ουτως και ο υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει πασχειν υπ αυτων
But I say to you, that Elijah already came, and they knew him not, but did to him how many things they wanted. Likewise also the Son of man is going to suffer by them.
13 τοτε συνηκαν οι μαθηται οτι περι ιωαννου του βαπτιστου ειπεν αυτοις
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them about John the immerser.
14 και ελθοντων προς τον οχλον προσηλθεν αυτω ανθρωπος γονυπετων αυτον
And when they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling to him, and saying,
15 και λεγων κυριε ελεησον μου τον υιον οτι σεληνιαζεται και κακως {VAR1: εχει } {VAR2: πασχει } πολλακις γαρ πιπτει εις το πυρ και πολλακις εις το υδωρ
Lord, be merciful to my son, because he is lunatic, and suffers badly. For he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 και προσηνεγκα αυτον τοις μαθηταις σου και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν αυτον θεραπευσαι
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
17 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη εως ποτε μεθ υμων εσομαι εως ποτε ανεξομαι υμων φερετε μοι αυτον ωδε
And having answered, Jesus said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him here to me.
18 και επετιμησεν αυτω ο ιησους και εξηλθεν απ αυτου το δαιμονιον και εθεραπευθη ο παις απο της ωρας εκεινης
And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon departed from him. And the boy was cured from that hour.
19 τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται τω ιησου κατ ιδιαν ειπον δια τι ημεις ουκ ηδυνηθημεν εκβαλειν αυτο
Then the disciples having come to Jesus in private, said, Why could we not cast it out?
20 ο δε λεγει αυτοις δια την ολιγοπιστιαν υμων αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν εαν εχητε πιστιν ως κοκκον σιναπεως ερειτε τω ορει τουτω μεταβα ενθεν εκει και μεταβησεται και ουδεν αδυνατησει υμιν
And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of a mustard plant, ye will say to this mountain, Remove from here to there, and it will depart, and nothing will be impossible to you.
But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
22 συστρεφομενων δε αυτων εν τη γαλιλαια ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους μελλει ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοσθαι εις χειρας ανθρωπων
And while they turned back in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men,
23 και αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη τριτη ημερα εγερθησεται και ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα
and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up. And they were exceedingly sorry.
24 ελθοντων δε αυτων εις καφαρναουμ προσηλθον οι τα διδραχμα λαμβανοντες τω πετρω και ειπαν ο διδασκαλος υμων ου τελει {VAR1: τα } {VAR2: [τα] } διδραχμα
And when they came to Capernaum, those who receive the double-drachma came to Peter, and said, Does not your teacher pay the double-drachma?
25 λεγει ναι και ελθοντα εις την οικιαν προεφθασεν αυτον ο ιησους λεγων τι σοι δοκει σιμων οι βασιλεις της γης απο τινων λαμβανουσιν τελη η κηνσον απο των υιων αυτων η απο των αλλοτριων
He says, Yes. And when he entered into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What think thou, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they take taxes or tribute, from their sons or from strangers?
26 ειποντος δε απο των αλλοτριων εφη αυτω ο ιησους αρα γε ελευθεροι εισιν οι υιοι
And Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Therefore the sons are free.
27 ινα δε μη σκανδαλισωμεν αυτους πορευθεις εις θαλασσαν βαλε αγκιστρον και τον αναβαντα πρωτον ιχθυν αρον και ανοιξας το στομα αυτου ευρησεις στατηρα εκεινον λαβων δος αυτοις αντι εμου και σου
But, so that we might not offend them, after going to the sea, cast a hook. And take up the first fish coming up, and having opened its mouth, thou will find a four-drachma coin. After taking that, give thou to them for me and thee.
