Mattheum 17
1 Et post dies sex assumit Iesus Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem fratrem eius, et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum:
After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
2 et transfiguratus est ante eos. Et resplenduit facies eius sicut sol: vestimenta autem eius facta sunt alba sicut nix.
He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
3 Et ecce apparuerunt illis Moyses, et Elias cum eo loquentes.
And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
4 Respondens autem Petrus, dixit ad Iesum: Domine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciamus tria tabernacula, tibi unum, Moysi unum, et Eliæ unum.
Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 Adhuc eo loquente, ecce nubes lucida obumbravit eos. Et ecce vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi bene complacui: ipsum audite.
While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
6 Et audientes discipuli ceciderunt in faciem suam, et timuerunt valde.
When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7 Et accessit Iesus, et tetigit eos: dixitque eis: Surgite, et nolite timere.
Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
8 Levantes autem oculos suos, neminem viderunt, nisi solum Iesum.
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
9 Et descendentibus illis de monte, præcepit eis Iesus, dicens: Nemini dixeritis visionem, donec Filius hominis a mortuis resurgat.
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
10 Et interrogaverunt eum discipuli, dicentes: Quid ergo scribæ dicunt quod Eliam oporteat primum venire?
The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
11 At ille respondens, ait eis: Elias quidem venturus est, et restituet omnia.
And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
12 Dico autem vobis, quia Elias iam venit, et non cognoverunt eum, sed fecerunt in eo quæcumque voluerunt. Sic et Filius hominis passurus est ab eis.
but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."
13 Tunc intellexerunt discipuli, quia de Ioanne Baptista dixisset eis.
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
14 Et cum venisset ad turbam, accessit ad eum homo genibus provolutus ante eum, dicens:
When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,
15 Domine, miserere filio meo, quia lunaticus est, et male patitur: nam sæpe cadit in ignem, et crebro in aquam.
"Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Et obtuli eum discipulis tuis, et non potuerunt curare eum.
So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
17 Respondens autem Iesus, ait: O generatio incredula, et perversa, quousque ero vobiscum? usquequo patiar vos? Afferte huc illum ad me.
Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
18 Et increpavit illum Iesus, et exiit ab eo dæmonium, et curatus est puer ex illa hora.
Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
19 Tunc accesserunt discipuli ad Iesum secreto, et dixerunt: Quare nos non potuimus eiicere illum?
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
20 Dixit illis Iesus: Propter incredulitatem vestram. Amen quippe dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, sicut granum sinapis, dicetis monti huic, Transi hinc illuc, et transibit, et nihil impossibile erit vobis.
So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
21 Hoc autem genus non eiicitur nisi per orationem, et ieiunium.
22 Conversantibus autem eis in Galilæa, dixit illis Iesus: Filius hominis tradendus est in manus hominum:
While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
23 et occident eum, et tertia die resurget. Et contristati sunt vehementer.
and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
24 Et cum venissent Capharnaum, accesserunt qui didrachma accipiebant, ad Petrum, et dixerunt ei: Magister vester non solvit didrachma?
When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"
25 Ait: Etiam. Et cum intrasset in domum, prævenit eum Iesus, dicens: Quid tibi videtur Simon? Reges terræ a quibus accipiunt tributum vel censum? a filiis suis, an ab alienis?
He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"
26 Et ille dixit: Ab alienis. Dixit illi Iesus: Ergo liberi sunt filii.
And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
27 Ut autem non scandalizemus eos, vade ad mare, et mitte hamum: et eum piscem, qui primus ascenderit, tolle: et aperto ore eius, invenies staterem: illum sumens, da eis pro me, et te.
But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
