Matio 17
1 Ary nony afaka henemana, Jesosy dia naka an’ i Petera sy Jakoba ary Jaona rahalahiny ka nitondra azy niakatra ho any an-tendrombohitra avo mba hitokana.
And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up to a high mountain apart;
2 Dia niova tarehy teo anatrehany Izy, ka ny tavany namirapiratra tahaka ny masoandro, ary ny fitafiany tonga fotsy tahaka ny mazava.
and was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment became white as the light.
3 Ary, indreo, niseho tamin’ ny mpianatra Mosesy sy Elia, niresaka tamin’ i Jesosy.
And they saw Moses and Elias talking with Him.
4 Dia niteny Petera ka nanao tamin’ i Jesosy hoe: Tompoko, tsara raha mitoetra eto isika; koa raha sitrakao, aoka aho hanao lay telo eto: ny anankiray ho Anao, ny anankiray ho an’ i Mosesy, ary ny anankiray ho an’ i Elia.
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 Raha mbola niteny izy, indro, nisy rahona mazava nanarona azy ireo; ary, injao, nisy feo avy tao amin’ ny rahona nanao hoe: Ity no Zanako malalako Izay sitrako; Izy no henoy.
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 Ary nony nandre izany ny mpianatra, dia lavo niankohoka sady natahotra indrindra.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Ary Jesosy nankeo aminy, dia nanendry azy ka nanao hoe; Mitsangàna, fa aza matahotra.
But Jesus came and touched them and said, Rise up and be not afraid.
8 Ary nony niandrandra izy ireo, dia tsy nahita olona, afa-tsy Jesosy irery ihany.
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus only.
9 Ary rehefa nidina avy tao an-tendrombohitra izy, dia nandrara azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Aza milaza amin’ olona ny fahitana, mandra-pitsangan’ ny Zanak’ olona amin’ ny maty.
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 Ary ny mpianany nanontany Azy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana ary no ilazan’ ny mpanora-dalàna fa Elia tsy maintsy ho avy aloha?
And his disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say, that Elias must first come?
11 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Elia dia avy ihany ka hampody ny zavatra rehetra.
Jesus said unto them, Elias doth indeed come first, and shall set all things right.
12 Nefa lazaiko aminareo: Efa tonga sahady Elia; nefa ny olona tsy nahafantatra azy, fa nanao izay sitraky ny fony taminy. Dia tahaka izany koa no hampiaretany ny Zanak’ olona.
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 Dia fantatry ny mpianatra fa Jaona Mpanao-batisa no nolazainy taminy.
Then the disciples understood that He spake to them of John the baptist.
14 Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny vahoaka izy ireo, nisy lehilahy anankiray nanatona an’ i Jesosy, dia nandohalika teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe:
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down and saying,
15 Tompoko, mamindrà fo amin’ ny zanako-lahy, fa mararin’ ny androbe izy ka mahantra tokoa; fa matetika izy no mianjera ao amin’ ny afo, ary matetika ao amin’ ny rano.
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 Ary nitondra azy tamin’ ny mpianatrao aho, fa tsy nahay nahasitrana azy izy.
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
17 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ry taranaka tsy mino sady efa nivadika, mandra-pahoviana no hitoerako aminareo? Mandra-pahoviana no handeferako aminareo? Ento atỳ amiko izy.
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 Ary niteny mafy azy Jesosy, dia nivoaka taminy ny demonia, ka sitrana ilay zazalahy tamin’ izay ora izay.
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 Dia nankao amin’ i Jesosy mangingina ny mpianatra ka nanao hoe: Nahoana izahay no tsy nahavoaka azy?
Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Noho ny fahakelezan’ ny finoanareo ihany; fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Raha manana finoana hoatra ny voan-tsinapy iray aza ianareo ka hiteny amin’ io tendrombohitra io hoe: Mifindrà erỳ, dia hifindra izy; ary tsy hisy tsy ho hainareo hatao.
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.
But this kind is not to be cast out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Ary raha nitoetra tany Galilia izy, Jesosy dia nilaza tamin’ ny mpianany hoe: Ny Zanak’ olona efa hatolotra ho eo an-tànan’ ny olona
And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:
23 ka hovonoiny, nefa amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hatsangana indray Izy. Ary dia nalahelo indrindra ireo.
and they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly grieved.
24 Ary nony tonga tao Kapernaomy izy, dia nankeo amin’ i Petera ny mpandray ny antsasaky ny sekely ka nanao hoe: Moa ny mpampianatra anareo tsy mba mandoa ny antsasaky ny sekely va?
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 Dia hoy Petera: Mandoa ihany Izy. Ary raha vao tafiditra tao an-trano Petera, dia nosakanan’ i Jesosy teny izy ka nataony hoe: Ahoana no hevitrao, ry Simona? Avy amin’ iza moa no andraisan’ ny mpanjaka etỳ an-tany fadin-tseranana sy vola hetra? Avy amin’ ny zanany va, sa avy amin’ ny olon-kafa?
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 Ary nony hoy Petera taminy: Avy amin’ ny olon-kafa, dia hoy kosa Jesosy: Dia afaka ary ny zanaka.
Peter saith unto Him, Of others. Jesus answered him, Then are the children free:
27 Nefa andrao isika manafintohina azy, dia mankanesa ao amin’ ny ranomasina ianao, ka manjonoa; ary raiso izay hazandrano azo voalohany, ka rehefa sokafanao ny vavany, dia hahita vola sekely eo ianao; dia raiso izany, ka omeo azy ho avy amiko sy ianao.
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.
