Mathaio 17
1 Mme erile morago ga malatsi a le marataro Jesu a tsaya Petere, Jakobe le Johane monnawe go tlhatlogela kwa setlhoweng sa thaba e e godileng e e kwa thoko.
And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
2 Mme erile ba etse tlhoko, ponalo ya gagwe ya fetoga mo e leng gore sefatlhego sa gagwe se ne sa phatshima jaaka letsatsi, le diaparo tsa gagwe tsa nna bosweu jo bo fatlhang.
And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.
3 Ka tshoganetso ga bonala Moshe le Elija ba bua nae.
And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Petere a bua ka tshoganetso a re, “Morena, go molemo gore re be re le fano. Fa o rata, ke tlaa aga metlaagana e le meraro o mongwe e le wa gago, o mongwe e nne wa ga Moshe, o mongwe e nne wa ga Elija.”
And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 Mme erile a sa bua jalo, leru le le sedifetseng la tla fa godimo ga bone, mme lentswe le le tswang mo lerung la re, “Yo ke morwaake yo o rategang, mme ke itumela thata mo go ene. Mo utlweng.”
And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
6 Mo tiragalong e, barutwa ba wela fa fatshe ka difatlhogo ba tsenywe ke letshogo le legolo.
And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
7 Jesu a tla kwa go bone a ba ama a ba raya a re, “Tsogang, se boifeng.”
And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
8 Mme ya re ba leba, ya bo e le Jesu fela yo o nang nabo.
And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
9 Mme ya re ba fologa thaba, a ba laya gore ba se ka ba itsise ope se ba se boneng go fitlhelela a tsoga mo baswing.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10 Barutwa ba gagwe ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke eng fa baeteledipele ba Sejuda ba gatelela gore Elija o tshwanetse go boa pele ga Mesia a tla?”
And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
11 Jesu a fetola a re, “Ba bua sentle. Elija o tshwanetse go tla go baya sengwe le sengwe ka fa thulaganyong.
But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
12 Mme legale o setse a tsile, mme ga a a ka a lemogwa, o na a sotlwa ke batho thata. Mme le Nna Morwa Motho ke tlaa sotlega mo diatleng tsa bone.”
But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
13 Hong barutwa ba lemoga fa a bua kaga Johane wa Mokolobetsi.
Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
14 Erile ba goroga kwa tlase ga thaba, bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa bo bo ba letile. Monna mongwe a tla a khubamela Jesu a re,
And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying:
15 “Morena, utlwela morwaake botlhoko, ka gore o tlhakatlhakanye tlhaloganyo, re mo bothatengjo bogolo, ka gore o a tle a wele mo molelong kgotsa mo metsing.
Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Jalo ke ne ka mo lere mo barutweng ba gago, mme ba retelelwa ke go mo fodisa.”
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Jesu a fetola a re, “Ao batho ke lona ba ba ditlhogo di thata ba ba senang tumelo! Ke tlaa nna le lona boleele bo le kae? Mo lereng kwano go nna.”
Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 Hong Jesu a kgalemela mowa o o maswe o o mo mosimaneng mme wa tswa mo go ene, mme go simolola ka lobaka loo mosimane a fola.
And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
19 Moragonyana barutwa ba botsa Jesu mo sephiring ba re, “Ke ka ntlha yang fa re ne re sa kgone go kgoromeletsa mowa o o maswe kwa ntle?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?
20 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ke ka ntlha ya tumelo ya lona e potlana. Gonne fa lo no lo na le tumelo le fa e le e nnyennyane jaaka peo e tshesane ya mosetara lo no lo ka raya thaba e lwa re ‘Suta!’ mme e ne e tlaa sutela kgakala. Ga go na se se neng se ka retela.
Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 Mme mofuta o wa mowa o o maswe ga o ka ke wa tsamaya fa e se fela lo rapetse lo ikiditse dijo.”
But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Letsatsi lengwe fa ba sale mo Galalea Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ke ya go okelwa mo nonofong ya ba ba tlaa mpolayang, mme e tla re ka letsatsi la boraro ke tlaa tsoga mo baswing.” Mme dipelo tsa barutwa tsa tlala khutsafalo le poifo.
And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.
24 Mo kgorogong ya bone kwa Kaperanama, baphuthi ba lekgetho la tempele ba tla mo go Petere ba mmotsa ba re, “A mong wa lona ga a duele lekgetho?”
And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
25 Petere a araba a re, “Ee, o a le duela.” Hong a tsena mo ntlung go bolelela Jesu ka potso ya makgetho, mme e rile pele ga a ka bua, Jesu a mmotsa a re, “O akanyang Petere? A dikgosi di phutha makgetho mo bathung ba tsone, kgotsa mo go batswakwa ba ba fentsweng?”
He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Mme Petere a fetola a re, “Mo go batswakwa.” Jalo he, Jesu a re, “Go siame.” “Beng-ba legae ba gololesegile! Le fa go ntse jalo, ga re batle go ba kgopisa, jalo fologela kwa lotshitshing o konopele sekgoge (huku e e tshwarang ditlhapi), o atlhamolole molomo wa tlhapi ya ntlha e o e tshwarang. O tlaa bona ledi le le tlaa lekanang makgetho a rona rotlhe; le tseye mme o ba duele!”
And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
