Matayo 17
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku mukaaga Yesu n’atwala Peetero, ne Yakobo ne Yokaana muganda we, n’abalinnyisa ku lusozi oluwanvu.
And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up to a high mountain apart;
2 N’afuusibwa nga balaba, amaaso ge ne gamasamasa ng’enjuba n’ebyambalo bye ne byeruka ne byakaayakana.
and was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment became white as the light.
3 Laba Musa ne Eriya ne balabika, ne boogera ne Yesu.
And they saw Moses and Elias talking with Him.
4 Peetero n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, nga kya kitalo nnyo ffe okubeera wano! Bw’oba ng’osiimye, nzimbe wano ensiisira ssatu, emu yiyo endala ya Musa n’endala ya Eriya.”
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 Bwe yali akyayogera ebyo ekire ekimasamasa ne kiva waggulu ne kibabuutikira eddoboozi ne liva mu kire ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange gwe njagala ennyo, era gwe nsanyukira ennyo. Mumuwulirenga.”
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 Abayigirizwa bwe baakiwulira ne bagwa wansi ne beevuunika nga batidde nnyo.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Yesu n’ajja gye bali n’abakwatako n’abagamba nti, “Mugolokoke temutya.”
But Jesus came and touched them and said, Rise up and be not afraid.
8 Bwe babbulula amaaso, baalabawo Yesu yekka!
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus only.
9 Bwe baali baserengeta olusozi, Yesu n’abakuutira nti, “Ebyo bye mulabye temubibuulirako omuntu n’omu okutuusa Omwana w’Omuntu lw’alimala okuzuukira mu bafu.”
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 Abayigirizwa ne bamubuuza nti, “Kale lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti, Eriya kimugwanira okumala okujja?”
And his disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say, that Elias must first come?
11 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo, Eriya alijja n’azzaawo ebintu byonna.
Jesus said unto them, Elias doth indeed come first, and shall set all things right.
12 Naye mbagamba nti, Eriya yajja dda, naye tebaamutegeera, era naye ne bamukola buli kye baayagala. Bw’atyo n’Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okubonyaabonyezebwa.”
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 Awo abayigirizwa be ne bategeera nti yali ayogera ku Yokaana Omubatiza.
Then the disciples understood that He spake to them of John the baptist.
14 Awo bwe yatuuka awaali ekibiina, omusajja n’ajja gy’ali n’afukamira we yali, n’amugamba nti,
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down and saying,
15 “Mukama wange, ssaasira mutabani wange, kubanga mulwadde agwa ensimbu, era zimubonyaabonya nnyo kubanga emirundi mingi zimusuula mu muliro ne mu mazzi.
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 Bwe namuleese eri abayigirizwa bo tebasobodde kumuwonya.”
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
17 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmwe omulembe ogutalina kukkiriza omubi. Ndituusa ddi okubeera nammwe? Ndibagumiikiriza kutuusa ddi? Kale mumundeetere wano.”
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 Yesu n’aboggolera dayimooni, n’ava ku mulenzi, omulenzi n’awona mu kiseera ekyo.
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 Awo oluvannyuma abayigirizwa ne bajja eri Yesu mu kyama ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki ffe tetwasobodde kugoba dayimooni oyo?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Olw’okukkiriza kwammwe okutono. Kubanga ddala ddala mbagamba nti, bwe muba n’okukkiriza okufaanana ng’akaweke ka kaladaali, mwandiyinzizza okugamba olusozi luno nti, ‘Vvaawo wano,’ era ne luvaawo era tewandibaddewo kye mulemwa.
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 Naye kyokka dayimooni ow’engeri eno tagobeka awatali kusaba na kusiiba.”
But this kind is not to be cast out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Ne bakuŋŋaanira mu Ggaliraaya, Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okuliibwamu olukwe aweebweyo mu mikono gy’abantu
And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:
23 abalimutta, kyokka ku lunaku olwokusatu alizuukizibwa.” Abayigirizwa be ne banakuwala nnyo.
and they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly grieved.
24 Bwe baatuuka e Kaperunawumu abasolooza b’omusolo gwa Yeekaalu babiri ne bajja eri Peetero ne bamubuuza nti, “Mukama wammwe tawa musolo?”
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 Peetero n’abaddamu nti, “Awa!” Peetero n’ayingira mu nnyumba. Naye Yesu n’amwesooka n’amubuuza nti, “Olowooza otya Simooni, bakabaka b’ensi basolooza omusolo ku bantu baabwe abatuuze oba ku bannamawanga be baba bawangudde?”
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 Peetero n’addamu nti, “Basolooza ku bannamawanga.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Kale bannansi bo ba ddembe.”
Peter saith unto Him, Of others. Jesus answered him, Then are the children free:
27 “Naye obutabanyiiza, genda ku nnyanja osuulemu eddobo, ekyennyanja ky’onoosooka okukwasa okyasamye akamwa. Mu kamwa kaakyo onoolabamu esutateri, ozitwale oziweeyo osasule omusolo gwange n’ogugwo.”
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.
