Matthew 17
1 Tukun len onkosr, Jesus el eisal Peter ac tamulel se, James ac John, ac elos utyak nu fin soko eol fulat, ac elos mukena we.
THEN six days after, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them into an exceeding high mountain apart.
2 Ke elos liye na, Jesus el ekla ye mutaltal: saromrom mutal oana faht uh, ac nuknuk lal arulana fasrfasr pikapakla.
And he was transformed before them; and his face shone as the sun, and his garments were white as the light.
3 Na mwet tumal lutlut tolu ah liyalak Moses ac Elijah sramsram nu sin Jesus.
And behold, there appeared to them, Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Na Peter el kasla ac fahk nu sin Jesus, “Leum, arulana wo ke kut muta inge uh! Kom fin lungse, nga ac musaela tolu iwen aktuktuk: sie sum, sie sel Moses, ac sie sel Elijah.”
Then Peter addressing him, said to Jesus, Lord, It is well that we are here; if it please thee, we will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 Ke el kaskas, sie pukunyeng na saromrom sonolosi, ac sie pusra in pukunyeng uh me fahk, “El inge Wen kulo saok nutik, su nga insewowo kac. Kowos lohngol!”
And while he was yet speaking, behold, a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom is my delight; hear him!
6 Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos lohng pusra sac, elos arulana sangengla, na elos faksufi.
And the disciples hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly affrighted.
7 Jesus el tuku nu yorolos ac kahlulosi, ac fahk, “Tuyak, nimet sangeng!”
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, be not affrighted.
8 Na elos ngetak ac wangin mwet elos liye, a Jesus mukena.
Then lifting up their eyes, they saw no person, but Jesus only.
9 Ke elos oatui liki fineol uh, Jesus el sap nu selos, “Nimet fahk nu sin kutena mwet ma su komtal liye inge nwe ke na Wen nutin Mwet el akmoulyeyukyak liki misa.”
And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.
10 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos siyuk sin Jesus, “Efu ku mwet luti Ma Sap elos fahk mu Elijah el ac tuku meet?”
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes affirm, that Elias must come first?
11 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Pwaye lah Elijah el ac tuku meet, ac el ac fah akoela ma nukewa.
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things.
12 Tusruktu, nga fahk nu suwos lah Elijah el tuku tari, ac mwet uh tiana akilenul, a elos oru ma na koluk nu sel oana ma elos lungse. Ac elos ac fah oru oapana nu sin Wen nutin Mwet.”
But I say unto you, That Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done by him whatsoever they chose: even so also must the Son of man suffer by them.
13 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos kalemak lah el kaskas kacl John Baptais.
Then understood the disciples that he spake to them of John the Baptist.
14 Ke elos folokla nu yurin un mwet uh, oasr sie mukul tuku nu yurin Jesus, su faksufi ye mutal
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 ac fahk, “Leum se, pakomuta wen nutik! El musen pulkoa, ac pacl se ac tuyang nu sel uh arulana upa, oru el kwacna putatyang nu in e uh, ku nu inkof uh.
Lord, have compassion on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Nga tuh usalu nu yurin mwet tomom lutlut, tuh elos koflana akkeyalla.”
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they have not been able to cure him.
17 Na Jesus el fahk, “Fuka lupan selulalfongi ac sesuwos in orekma lomtal uh! Nga ac muta yurumtal nwe ngac? Nga ac muteng komtal nwe ngac? Use tulik sacn nu yuruk!”
Then Jesus answering, said, O generation, faithless, and perverse! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me.
18 Jesus el sap ku nu sin demon sac, na el illa liki tulik sac, ac in pacl sacna tulik sac kwela.
And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour.
19 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yurin Jesus in lukma ac siyuk sel, “Efu kut ku kofla lusla demon sac?”
Then the disciples of Jesus coming privately, said, Why could not we cast it out?
20 Na Jesus el fahk, “Mweyen srikla lulalfongi lowos. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, lulalfongi lowos fin oana luman fiten mustard se, kowos ac ku in fahk nu sin eol soko inge, ‘Fahsrot liki acn se inge nu ingo!’ na ac som. Kowos ac ku in oru kutena ma!” [
Then said Jesus unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence, thither, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21 “Tusruktu pre ac lalo mukena pa ku in sisla kain inge; wangin ma saya ku in sisla.”]
But this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Ke mwet tumal lutlut nukewa fahsreni nu Galilee, Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang nu inpoun mwet
And as they were returning into Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men:
23 su ac fah unilya, tusruktu tukun len tolu, el fah sifil akmoulyeyukyak.” Mwet tumal lutlut elos arulana asor ke elos lohng ma inge.
and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were grieved exceedingly.
24 Ke Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut tuku nu Capernaum, mwet eisani tax lun Tempul elos tuku nu yorol Peter ac siyuk, “Ku mwet luti lom el wi moli tax lun Tempul uh?”
And when they came to Capernaum, they who receive the tax of two drachmas came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
25 Ac Peter el fahk, “Aok.” Ke Peter el ilyak nu in lohm uh, Jesus el kasla meet ac fahk, “Simon, mea kom nunku? Su moli tax ac mwe takma saya nu sin tokosra lun faclu? Ya mwet na in acn se, ku mwet sac uh?”
He saith, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth receive customs and tax? from their own children, or from aliens?
26 Ac Peter el fahk, “Mwet sac uh.” Na Jesus el fahk, “Fin ouingan, kalem lah mwet in acn se ac tia moli.
Peter saith to him, From aliens. Jesus saith unto him, In that case then the children are free.
27 Tusruktu kut tia lungse aktoasrye mwet inge. Ke ma inge, kom som nu in lulu uh ac sisla soko ah an. Amakunak ik soko ma kom ahsak oemeet an, ac kom ac fah konauk ipin silver se in oalul ma fal in molela tax luk kom uh nu in Tempul uh. Usla ac sang akfalyela.”
But that we give them no offence, go unto the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish which cometh up; and on opening his mouth, thou wilt find a stater, that take and give them for me and thee.
