Matye 17
1 Sis jou pita, Jésus te pran Pierre, Jacques ak frè li, Jean pou kont yo, e te mennen yo sou yon mòn byen wo.
And after six days Jesus took Cephas, and James, and John his brother, and conducted them alone to a high mountain.
2 Konsa, Li te transfòme la devan yo. Figi Li te klere tankou solèy la, e vètman li te vin blanch tankou limyè.
And Jesus was changed before them: and his face shone like the sun; and his vestments became white like the light.
3 Epi konsa, gade, yo te wè Moïse ak Elie ki t ap pale avèk Li.
And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, in conversation with him.
4 Pierre te di a Jésus: “Senyè, se bon pou nou isit la. Si Ou vle, m ap fè twa tabènak isit la; youn pou Ou, youn pou Moïse, e youn pou Elie.”
Then Cephas answered and said to Jesus: My Lord, it is good for us to be here: and, if it please thee, we will make here three booths; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 Pandan Li t ap pale, vwala, yon nwaj byen briyan te kouvri yo. E konsa, yon vwa sòti nan nwaj la e te di: “Sa se Fis byeneme Mwen an. Avèk Li, Mwen byen kontan. Koute Li!”
And while he was yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and there was a voice from the cloud which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have pleasure; hear ye him.
6 Lè disip Li yo te tande sa, yo te tonbe sou figi yo byen sezi avèk laperèz.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were much afraid.
7 Jésus te vin kote yo. Li te touche yo, e te di: “Leve, e pa pè.”
And Jesus came to them and touched them, and said: Arise, and be not afraid.
8 Lè yo leve zye yo, yo pa t wè pèsòn sof ke Jésus ki te la pou kont Li.
And they raised their eyes, and they saw no person, except Jesus only.
9 Pandan yo t ap desann mòn nan, Jésus te kòmande yo: “Pa pale pèsòn afè vizyon sila a jiskaske Fis a Lòm nan fin leve soti nan lanmò.”
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, and said to them: Speak of this vision before no person, until the Son of man shall have arisen from the dead.
10 Epi disip Li yo te mande L: “E poukisa Skrib yo toujou di ke Elie oblije vini avan?”
And his disciples asked him, and said to him: Why then do the Scribes say, that Elijah must first come?
11 Li te reponn yo: “Elie ap vini e l ap restore tout bagay.
Jesus answered, and said to them: Elijah doth first come, to fulfill every thing.
12 Men Mwen di nou ke Elie te vini deja, e yo pa t rekonèt li, men yo te fè avè l sa ke yo te pito. Menm jan an, Fis a Lòm nan ap soufri nan men yo.”
And I say to you. That, behold, Elijah hath come, and they did not know him; and they have done to him whatever they pleased: and, in like manner, also the Son of man is to suffer from them.
13 Konsa, disip yo te vin konprann ke Li t ap pale de Jean Baptiste.
Then the disciples understood, that he spake to them of John the Baptizer.
14 Lè yo rive bò kote foul la, yon mesye te vin tonbe sou jenou devan Li. Li te di L:
And when they came to the multitude, a man approached him, and bowed himself on his knees,
15 “Senyè, gen pitye pou fis mwen an. Li se yon epileptik; li byen malad. Souvan li tonbe nan dife a, e pafwa menm nan dlo.
and said to him: My Lord, compassionate me. I have a son who is a lunatic, and grievously afflicted; for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Mwen te pote li bay disip Ou yo, men yo pa t kapab geri li.”
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
17 Jésus te reponn. Li te di: “O jenerasyon enkredil e pèvès; pandan konbyen de tan M ap avèk nou? Pandan konbyen de tan M ap sipòte nou? Mennen li ban Mwen!”
Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? and how long bear with you? Bring him here to me.
18 Jésus te reprimande lespri a. Dyab la te sòti sou li, epi jennonm nan te geri lapoula.
And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it departed from him: and from that hour the child was healed.
19 Konsa, disip yo te vin kote Jésus an prive. Yo te mande L: “Poukisa nou menm pa t kapab chase l?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus, apart, and said to him: Why could not we heal him?
20 Li te di yo: “Paske lafwa nou tèlman piti. Paske konsa Mwen di nou: Si nou gen lafwa gwosè yon grenn moutad, nou ap di a mòn sa a: ‘Deplase ou isit la, ale la,’epi l ap prale. Nanpwen anyen k ap enposib pou nou.
Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, That if there be in you faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye may say to this mountain, Remove hence, and it will remove: and nothing will be too hard for you.
21 Men kalite sila a pa sòti sof ke pa lapriyè, avèk jèn.”
But this kind goeth not out, except by fasting and prayer.
22 Pandan yo t ap rasanble Galilée, Jésus te di yo: “Fis a Lòm nan prèt pou livre nan men a lèzòm.
And while they were resident in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of men;
23 Yo va touye Li, e Li va leve nan twazyèm jou a.” Yo te byen tris.
and they will kill him; and the third day he will arise. And it saddened them much.
24 Lè yo te ale Capernaüm, sila ki te fè koleksyon taks drachma yo te vin Kote Pierre, Li te mande l: “Èske mèt ou a pa peye taks drachma?”
And when they came to Capernaum, those who receive the two drachmas of capitation money came to Cephas, and said to him: Doth not your rabbi pay his two drachmas?
25 Li te reponn: “Wi”. Lè Pierre te antre nan kay la, Jésus, akoz Li te konnen sa li t ap mande, te di: “Kisa ou panse, Simon? Nan men ki moun wa sou latè yo ranmase tarif ak enpo? Èske se nan men fis pa yo, oubyen èske se nan men moun yo pa rekonèt?”
He said to them, Yes. And when Cephas had entered the house, Jesus anticipated him and said to him: How doth it appear to thee, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute and capitation money? of their children, or of aliens?
26 Lè li reponn: “Moun yo pa rekonèt”, Jésus te di l: “Konsa, fis yo egzante.
Simon said to him: Of aliens. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
27 Sepandan, pou nou pa ofanse yo, ale bò kote lanmè a; voye yon filè ladann e rale premye pwason ki vini an. Lè nou ouvri bouch li nou va wè yon statère (yon kòb Women). Pran li pote bay yo pou ou ak Mwen.”
But still, lest they be stumbled with us, go thou to the sea and cast in a fish-hook, and the fish that shall first come up, open its mouth, and thou wilt find a stater: that take, and give for me and for thyself.
