마태복음 17
1 엿새 후에 예수께서 베드로와 야고보와 그 형제 요한을 데리시고 따로 높은 산에 올라 가셨더니
A week after Jesus [said that], he took Peter, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James, and led them up a high mountain where they were away from other people.
2 저희 앞에서 변형되사 그 얼굴이 해같이 빛나며 옷이 빛과 같이 희어졌더라
[While they were there, the three disciples] saw that Jesus’ appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun, and his clothing [shone and] became as brilliant as light.
3 때에 모세와 엘리야가 예수로 더불어 말씀하는 것이 저희에게 보이거늘
Suddenly Moses and Elijah, [who were important prophets many years ago], appeared and started talking with him.
4 베드로가 예수께 여짜와 가로되 `주여 우리가 여기 있는 것이 좋사오니 주께서 만일 원하시면 내가 여기서 초막 셋을 짓되 하나는 주를 위하여, 하나는 모세를 위하여, 하나는 엘리야를 위하여 하리이다'
Peter [saw them and] said to Jesus, “Lord, it is wonderful for us to be here! If you want [me to], I will make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 말할 때에 홀연히 빛난 구름이 저희를 덮으며 구름 속에서 소리가 나서 가로되 `이는 내 사랑하는 아들이요 내 기뻐하는 자니 너희는 저의 말을 들으라!' 하는지라
While Peter was speaking, a bright cloud [appeared and] covered them. [They heard God] speaking [about Jesus from] inside the cloud. He said [to them], “This is my Son. I love him. He pleases me very much. [So] you must listen to him!”
6 제자들이 듣고 엎드리어 심히 두려워하니
When the three disciples heard [God speaking], they were terrified. [As a result], they fell prostrate on the ground.
7 예수께서 나아가 저희에게 손을 대시며 가라사대 일어나라 두려워 말라 하신대
But Jesus went to them and touched them [and] said [to them], “Stand up! Do not be afraid any more!”
8 제자들이 눈을 들고 보매 오직! 예수 외에는 아무도 보이지 아니하더라
And when they looked up [MTY], they saw that Jesus was the only one [who was still there].
9 저희가 산에서 내려올 때에 예수께서 명하여 가라사대 인자가 죽은 자 가운데서 살아나기 전에는 본 것을 아무에게도 이르지 말라 하시니
When they were walking down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone what you saw [on the mountain top] until [God has caused me], the one who has come from heaven, to become alive again after I die.”
10 제자들이 묻자와 가로되 `그러면 어찌하여 서기관들이 엘리야가 먼저 와야 하리라 하나이까?'
[Those three disciples had just seen Elijah and he did not do anything to prepare people for the coming of the Messiah], so they asked Jesus, “If [what you say is true], why do the men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that it is necessary for Elijah to come [back to earth] before [the Messiah comes]?”
11 예수께서 대답하여 가라사대 엘리야가 과연 먼저 와서 모든 일을 회복하리라
Jesus answered [them], “It is true that [God promised that] Elijah would come to prepare many [HYP] [people for the Messiah’s coming].
12 내가 너희에게 말하노니 엘리야가 이미 왔으되 사람들이 알지 못하고 임의로 대우하였도다 인자도 이와 같이 그들에게 고난을 받으리라 하시니
But note this: Elijah’s [representative] has already come, [and our leaders have seen him], but they did not recognize him [as the one who would come before the Messiah]. Instead, they treated him [badly], just like they desired. And those same rulers will soon treat [me], the one who came from heaven, in the same manner.”
13 그제야 제자들이 예수의 말씀하신 것이 세례 요한인 줄을 깨달으니라
Then the three disciples understood that [when he was talking about Elijah], he was referring to John the Baptizer.
14 저희가 무리에게 이르매 한사람이 예수께 와서 꿇어 엎드리어 가로되
When [Jesus and the three disciples] returned to the [rest of us disciples] and to the crowd [that had gathered], a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
15 `주여! 내 아들을 불쌍히 여기소서 저가 간질로 심히 고생하여 자주 불에도 넘어지며 물에도 넘어지는지라
He said [to him], “Sir/Lord, have mercy on my son and [heal him]! He has epilepsy and suffers very much. [Because of this illness], he has fallen in the fire and in the water many times.
16 내가 주의 제자들에게 데리고 왔으나 능히 고치지 못하더이다'
I brought him to your disciples [in order that they might heal him], but they were not able to heal him.”
17 예수께서 대답하여 가라사대 믿음이 없고 패역한 세대여! 내가 얼마나 너희와 함께 있으며 얼마나 너희를 참으리요 그를 이리로 데려오라 하시다
Jesus responded [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything! Your minds] are distorted! How long do I have to be with you [before you] are [able to do what I do] [RHQ]? How long [do] I have to endure your [not believing] [RHQ]? Bring the boy here to me!”
18 이에 예수께서 꾸짖으시니 귀신이 나가고 아이가 그 때부터 나으니라
When [they brought the boy to Jesus], Jesus rebuked the demon [that was causing the epilepsy]. [As a result], the demon came out of the boy, and right then the boy was healed.
19 이 때에 제자들이 종용히 예수께 나아와 가로되 `우리는 어찌하여 쫓아내지 못하였나이까?'
[Later, some of us] disciples approached Jesus. We asked him privately, “Why were we [(exc)] not able to expel the demon?”
20 가라사대 너희 믿음이 적은 연고니라 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 너희가 만일 믿음이 한 겨자씨만큼만 있으면 이 산을 명하여 여기서 저기로 옮기라 하여도 옮길 것이요 또 너희가 못할 것이 없으리라
He answered us, “It is because you did not believe very much [in God’s power]. Think about this: Mustard seeds [are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe [that God will do what you ask him to], you will be able to do anything [LIT]! You [could even] say to this hill, ‘Move from here to there!’ and it would go [where you told it to go].”
21 (없 음)
22 갈릴리에 모일 때에 예수께서 제자들에게 이르시되 인자가 장차 사람들의 손에 넘기워
When [we disciples] had gathered together in Galilee [district], Jesus said to us, “[I], the one who came from heaven, will soon be handed over {[Someone] will soon hand me, the one who came from heaven, over} to the authorities [SYN].
23 죽임을 당하고 제 삼일에 살아나리라 하시니 제자들이 심히 근심하더라
They will kill me. But [God] will cause me to become alive again on the third day [after I am killed].” [When we heard that], we became very sad.
24 가버나움에 이르니 반 세겔 받는 자들이 베드로에게 나아와 가로되 너의 선생이 반 세겔을 내지 아니하느냐?
When we came to Capernaum [city], the men who collect taxes [for the Temple approached Peter and said to him], “Your teacher pays the [Temple tax], does he not?”
25 가로되 `내신다' 하고 집에 들어가니 예수께서 먼저 가라사대 시몬아, 네 생각은 어떠하뇨? 세상 임금들이 뉘게 관세와 정세를 받느냐? 자기 아들에게냐? 타인에게냐?
He answered [them], “Yes, [he does pay it].” When we came into the house [where Jesus was saying], [before Peter began to talk about paying taxes], Jesus said [to him], “Simon, from whom do you think rulers collect revenue or taxes? [Do they collect taxes] from the citizens of their own [country], or from citizens of countries [they have conquered]?”
26 베드로가 가로되 `타인에게니이다' 예수께서 가라사대 그러하면 아들들은 세를 면하리라
Peter answered [him], “From [citizens of] other [countries].” Then Jesus said to him, “So citizens of their own [country] do not need to [pay taxes].
27 그러나 우리가 저희로 오해케 하지 않기 위하여 네가 바다에 가서 낚시를 던져 먼저 오르는 고기를 가져 입을 열면 돈 한 세겔을 얻을 것이니 가져다가 나와 너를 위하여 주라 하시니라
But [even though the Temple is mine, pay the tax for us so that the Temple tax collectors will not become angry with us. In order to get the money to pay it], go to the lake. Cast your [fish line and] hook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a silver coin [that is worth enough to pay the tax] for you and me. Take that coin and give [it] to the Temple tax collectors.”
