Matthew 17

وَبَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا أَخَاهُ وَصَعِدَ بِهِمْ إِلَى جَبَل عَال مُنْفَرِدِينَ.

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

وَتَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَتُهُ قُدَّامَهُمْ، وَأَضَاءَ وَجْهُهُ كَالشَّمْسِ، وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ كَالنُّورِ.

And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

وَإِذَا مُوسَى وَإِيلِيَّا قَدْ ظَهَرَا لَهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمَانِ مَعَهُ.

And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

فَجَعَلَ بُطْرُسُ يَقُولُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَارَبُّ، جَيِّدٌ أَنْ نَكُونَ ههُنَا! فَإِنْ شِئْتَ نَصْنَعْ هُنَا ثَلاَثَ مَظَالَّ: لَكَ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلِمُوسَى وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلإِيلِيَّا وَاحِدَةٌ».

Then answered Peter, and said unto 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.

وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ إِذَا سَحَابَةٌ نَيِّرَةٌ ظَلَّلَتْهُمْ، وَصَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ قَائِلاً:«هذَا هُوَ ابْني الْحَبِيبُ الَّذِي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ. لَهُ اسْمَعُوا».

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التَّلاَمِيذُ سَقَطُوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ وَخَافُوا جِدًّا.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

فَجَاءَ يَسُوعُ وَلَمَسَهُمْ وَقَالَ: «قُومُوا، وَلاَ تَخَافُوا».

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

فَرَفَعُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَدًا إِلاَّ يَسُوعَ وَحْدَهُ.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

وَفِيمَا هُمْ نَازِلُونَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ أَوْصَاهُمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً:«لاَ تُعْلِمُوا أَحَدًا بِمَا رَأَيْتُمْ حَتَّى يَقُومَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ».

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

وَسَأَلَهُ تَلاَمِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ:«فَلِمَاذَا يَقُولُ الْكَتَبَةُ: إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَوَّلاً؟»

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا يَأْتِي أَوَّلاً وَيَرُدُّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

وَلكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ إِيلِيَّا قَدْ جَاءَ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، بَلْ عَمِلُوا بِهِ كُلَّ مَا أَرَادُوا. كَذلِكَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ أَيْضًا سَوْفَ يَتَأَلَّمُ مِنْهُمْ».

But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

حِينَئِذٍ فَهِمَ التَّلاَمِيذُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُمْ عَنْ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ.

Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

وَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَى الْجَمْعِ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ جَاثِيًا لَهُ

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

وَقَائِلاً:«يَا سَيِّدُ، ارْحَمِ ابْني فَإِنَّهُ يُصْرَعُ وَيَتَأَلَّمُ شَدِيدًا، وَيَقَعُ كَثِيرًا فِي النَّارِ وَكَثِيرًا فِي الْمَاءِ.

Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

وَأَحْضَرْتُهُ إِلَى تَلاَمِيذِكَ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَشْفُوهُ».

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ:«أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ، الْمُلْتَوِي، إِلَى مَتَى أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ؟ إِلَى مَتَى أَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟ قَدِّمُوهُ إِلَيَّ ههُنَا!»

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

فَانْتَهَرَهُ يَسُوعُ، فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ. فَشُفِيَ الْغُلاَمُ مِنْ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ.

And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ التَّلاَمِيذُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ وَقَالُوا:«لِمَاذَا لَمْ نَقْدِرْ نَحْنُ أَنْ نُخْرِجَهُ؟»

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«لِعَدَمِ إِيمَانِكُمْ. فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَوْ كَانَ لَكُمْ إِيمَانٌ مِثْلُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَل لَكُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ لِهذَا الْجَبَلِ: انْتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنَا إِلَى هُنَاكَ فَيَنْتَقِلُ، وَلاَ يَكُونُ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَ مُمْكِنٍ لَدَيْكُمْ.

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

وَأَمَّا هذَا الْجِنْسُ فَلاَ يَخْرُجُ إِلاَّ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالصَّوْمِ».

Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ فِي الْجَلِيلِ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ سَوْفَ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي النَّاسِ

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ». فَحَزِنُوا جِدًّا.

And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

وَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَى كَفْرَنَاحُومَ تَقَدَّمَ الَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ إِلَى بُطْرُسَ وَقَالُوا:«أَمَا يُوفِي مُعَلِّمُكُمُ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ؟»

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

قَالَ:«بَلَى». فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ سَبَقَهُ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً:«مَاذَا تَظُنُّ يَا سِمْعَانُ؟ مِمَّنْ يَأْخُذُ مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ الْجِبَايَةَ أَوِ الْجِزْيَةَ، أَمِنْ بَنِيهِمْ أَمْ مِنَ الأَجَانِبِ؟» قَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «مِنَ الأَجَانِبِ». قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«فَإِذًا الْبَنُونَ أَحْرَارٌ.

He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
