Matiu 17
1 Mgbe ụbọchị isii gasịrị, Jisọs kpọọrọ Pita, na Jemis na Jọn nwanne ya, rigoro nʼugwu dị elu ebe naanị ha nọdụrụ.
And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up to a high mountain apart;
2 Nʼebe ahụ a gbanwere ọdịdị ya nʼihu ha, ihu ya na-enwupụ dị ka anyanwụ, uwe ya chapụkwara dị ka ìhè.
and was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment became white as the light.
3 Nʼotu ntabi anya ahụ, ha hụrụ Mosis na Ịlaịja ka ha na ya na-ekwurịta okwu.
And they saw Moses and Elias talking with Him.
4 Mgbe ahụ Pita sịrị Jisọs, “Onyenwe anyị. Ọ dị mma ka anyị niile nọdụ nʼebe a. Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-enye m ike, aga m ewu ụlọ ikwu atọ nʼebe a. Otu nʼime ụlọ ndị a ga-abụ nke gị, otu nke Mosis, nke ọzọ nke Ịlaịja.”
Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou pleasest, let us make three tabernacles here, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ, igwe ojii nke na-enwu enwu kpuchiri ha, olu sitere nʼigwe ojii ahụ daa sị, “Onye a bụ Ọkpara m, onye m hụrụ nʼanya, onye ihe ya dị m ezi mma. Geenụ ya ntị.”
And as he was speaking, lo a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.
6 Mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nụrụ olu a, ha dara nʼala nʼihi egwu.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Ma Jisọs jekwuuru ha metụ ha aka sị ha, “Bilienụ, unu atụla egwu.”
But Jesus came and touched them and said, Rise up and be not afraid.
8 Mgbe ha lelitere anya ha, o nwekwaghị onye ọzọ ha hụrụ ma ọ bụghị naanị Jisọs.
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus only.
9 Ma mgbe ha si nʼelu ugwu ahụ na-arịdata, Jisọs nyere ha iwu, sị, “Unu agwala onye ọbụla ihe unu hụrụ tutu ruo mgbe Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie.”
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere ndị ozizi iwu ji na-ekwu na Ịlaịja aghaghị ibu ụzọ bịa?”
And his disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say, that Elias must first come?
11 Ọ zara sị, “Ọ bụ ezie, Ịlaịja na-abịa, ọ ga-emekwa ka ihe niile dị ka ọ dị na mbụ.
Jesus said unto them, Elias doth indeed come first, and shall set all things right.
12 Ma Ịlaịja abịalarị, ma ndị mmadụ amataghị ya. Kama ndị mmadụ emeela ya ihe ọjọọ dị iche iche. Otu a kwa ka mụ onwe m bụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-esi ahụ ahụhụ site nʼaka ha.”
But I tell you that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him: and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.
13 Mgbe ahụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ghọtara na ọ bụ Jọn omee baptizim ka ọ na-ekwu banyere ya.
Then the disciples understood that He spake to them of John the baptist.
14 Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼebe igwe mmadụ ahụ nọ, otu nwoke bịakwutere ya gbuo ikpere nʼihu ya,
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down and saying,
15 rịọọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, biko, meere nwa m nwoke ebere, nʼihi na akwụkwụ na-adọ ya. Ọ na-ata oke ahụhụ, ọtụtụ mgbe ọ na-adaba nʼime ọkụ maọbụ nʼime mmiri.
Lord, have compassion upon my son, for he is lunatic and grievously afflicted; for he often falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Ma ekuteere m ya ndị na-eso ụzọ gị ka ha gwọọ ya, ma ha enweghị ike ime ka ahụ dị ya mma.”
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
17 Jisọs zara sị, “Unu ọgbọ a na-enweghị okwukwe, ndị na-adịghị erubekwa isi. Ruo ole mgbe ka mụ na unu ga-anọ? Ruo ole mgbe ka m ga-anọ na-anagide ekweghị ekwe unu? Kpọtaranụ m nwata ahụ nʼebe a.”
Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you?
18 Jisọs baara mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ mba, mee ka o si nʼime nwata ahụ pụta. Otu mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ pụtara, nwata ahụ bụ onye agwọkwara nʼotu oge ahụ.
Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time.
19 Mgbe e mesịrị, ndị na-eso ụzọ Jisọs bịakwutere ya na nzuzo jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere o ji siere anyị ike ịchụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na okwukwe unu nwere esighị ike. Nʼezie, agwa m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu e nwee okwukwe nke dị nta ka mkpụrụ mọstaadị, unu nwere ike ị sị ugwu a, ‘Site nʼebe a wezuga onwe gị,’ ọ ga-apụtakwa. Ọ dịghị ihe unu na-agaghị enwe ike ime.
And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, if ye had but faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove: and nothing would be impossible to you.
21 Ma mmụọ ọjọọ dị otu a agaghị apụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị site nʼikpe ekpere na ibu ọnụ.”
But this kind is not to be cast out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Mgbe ha gbakọrọ na Galili, Jisọs gwara ha sị, “A ga-arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye nʼaka ndị mmadụ.
And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:
23 Ha ga-egbukwa ya, ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ a ga-eme ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie.” Nke a wutere ha nke ukwuu.
and they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly grieved.
24 Mgbe ha bịaruru na Kapanọm, ndị na-ana ụtụ nʼihi ụlọnsọ bịakwutere Pita jụọ ya sị, “Onye ozizi unu ọ dịghị atụ ụtụ ụlọnsọ?”
And when they were come to Capernaum, the receivers of the tribute-money came to Peter and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Yes, saith he.
25 Pita zara ha sị, “E, ọ na-atụ ụtụ.” Mgbe ọ batara nʼụlọ, Jisọs buru ụzọ jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị ka i chere banyere nke a Saimọn? Ọ bụ nʼaka ndị ole ka ndị eze ụwa si anakọta ụtụ taks? Ọ bụ nʼaka ụmụ ha, ka ọ bụ nʼaka ndị ọbịa?”
And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him and said, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of other people?
26 Ma mgbe Pita zara ya sị, “Ọ bụ site nʼaka ndị ọbịa.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọ dị mma. Iwu ejighị ndị bụ ụmụ.
Peter saith unto Him, Of others. Jesus answered him, Then are the children free:
27 Ma otu ọ dị, achọghị m ka anyị mee ka iwe wee ha. Gaa nʼosimiri ahụ tụnye nko azụ gị nʼime ya. Meghe ọnụ azụ mbụ ị ga-egbute. Ị ga-ahụ otu mkpụrụ ego nʼime ọnụ ya. Were ya nye ha, ka ọ bụrụ ụtụ nke mụ na gị.”
but that we may not give them offence, go to the sea-side and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and open its mouth, and thou shalt find a piece of money: that take and give them for me and thee.
