Matye 17
1 Sis jou apre sa, Jezi pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan, frè Jak la, li mennen yo pou kont yo sou tèt yon mòn byen wo.
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and his brother John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves,
2 Antan Jezi te la, li pran chanje devan yo. Figi l' vin klere tankou solèy la. Rad li vin blan tankou yon limyè.
and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the light,
3 Twa disip yo wè Moyiz ak Eli parèt, yo t'ap pale ak Jezi.
and behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking together with Him.
4 Lè sa a, Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Met, sa bon nèt pou nou isit la. Si ou vle, m'ap moute twa ti kay, yonn pou ou, yonn pou Moyiz ak yonn pou Eli.
And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good to us to be here; if You will, we may make three shelters here: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 Antan Pyè t'ap pale toujou, yon nwaj byen klere vin kouvri yo. Yo tande yon vwa soti nan nwaj la, li di: Sa se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Li fè kè m' kontan anpil. Koute li.
While he is yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted; hear Him.”
6 Lè disip yo tande vwa a yo tonbe fas atè tèlman yo te pè.
And the disciples having heard, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
7 Men, Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li manyen yo, li di: Leve non, nou pa bezwen pè.
and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, “Rise, do not be afraid,”
8 Yo leve je yo, yo wè Jezi te pou kont li.
and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
9 Antan yo t'ap desann mòn lan, Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: Pa pale ak pesonn sou sa nou sot wè a, jouk mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
And as they are coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Say to no one the vision, until the Son of Man may rise out of the dead.”
10 Twa disip yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Poukisa dirèktè lalwa yo di se pou Eli vin anvan?
And His disciples questioned Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. Eli gen pou l' vin anvan, pou l' mete tout bagay nan lòd.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Elijah does indeed come first, and will restore all things,
12 Men, m'ap di nou sa: Eli vin deja. Men, yo pa t' rekonèt li, yo fè l' tou sa yo te vle. Se onsa tou, yo gen pou yo maltrete Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
and I say to you, Elijah already came, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.”
13 Lè sa a, disip yo vin konprann li t'ap pale yo sou Jan Batis.
Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them concerning John the Immerser.
14 Lè yo rive kote foul moun yo, yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li lage kò l' ajenou devan l', li di:
And when they came to the multitude, there came to Him a man, kneeling down to Him,
15 Mèt, gen pitye pou pitit gason m' lan. Li gen malkadi. Lè ou tande kriz la pran l' konsa, anpil fwa li tonbe nan dife osinon nan dlo.
and saying, “Lord, deal kindly with my son, for he is [a] lunatic, and suffers miserably, for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water,
16 Mwen mennen l' bay disip ou yo, men yo pa t' kapab geri li.
and I brought him near to Your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
17 Jezi reponn: Ala moun san konfyans nan Bondye! Ala move moun! Jouk kilè pou m' rete nan mitan nou? Jouk kilè pou m' sipòte nou? Mennen ti gason an isit ban mwen.
And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear you? Bring him to Me here”;
18 Jezi pale sevè ak move lespri a. Lespri a soti. Menm lè a, ti nonm lan geri.
and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
19 Apre sa, disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande l' apa: Poukisa nou pa t' kapab chase move lespri sa a?
Then the disciples having come to Jesus by Himself, said, “Why were we not able to cast him out?”
20 Jezi di yo: Se paske nou manke konfyans nan Bondye. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si nou te gen konfyans nan Bondye gwosè yon ti grenn moutad, nou ta di ti mòn sa a: wete kò ou la, al laba, li ta chanje plas. Pa gen anyen nou pa ta kapab fè.
And Jesus said to them, “Through your want of faith; for truly I say to you, if you may have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you,
21 Men, kalite lespri sa yo, se fòs lapriyè ak jèn ki pou fè yo soti.
[[and this kind does not go forth except in prayer and fasting.”]]
22 Yon jou, antan tout disip yo te la ansanm nan peyi Galile, Jezi di yo: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' tonbe anba men lèzòm.
And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
23 Yo pral touye m', men sou twa jou, m'ap leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Sa te fè disip yo lapenn anpil.
and they will kill Him, and the third day He will rise,” and they were exceedingly sorry.
24 Lè Jezi rive Kapènawòm ak disip li yo, moun ki t'ap ranmase lajan taks pou tanp lan pwoche bò kot Pyè, yo mande li: Eske mèt ou a peye lajan taks pou tanp lan?
And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachmas came near to Peter and said, “Your teacher—does He not pay the didrachmas?” He says, “Yes.”
25 Pyè di: Li peye wi. Antan Pyè ap antre nan kay la, anvan li louvri bouch li, Jezi di l': Sa ou konprann nan sa, Simon? Ki moun ki gen pou peye dwa ak taks bay leta? Sitwayen peyi a, osinon etranje?
And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? The kings of the earth—from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? From their sons or from the strangers?”
26 Pyè reponn li: Etranje yo. Lè sa a, Jezi di li: Si se konsa, sitwayen yo egzan.
Peter says to Him, “From the strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free;
27 Men, nou pa vle bay move egzanp: Ale bò lanmè a, voye yon zen nan dlo a. Rale premye pwason ki va mòde ladan l' lan. Louvri bouch li, wa jwenn yon pyès lajan, mezi pou peye taks pa m' ak taks pa ou. Pran l', al peye pou nou de.
but that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that has come up first take up, and having opened its mouth, you will find a stater, that having taken, give to them for Me and you.”
