Matthew 17

Sis jou apre sa, Jezi pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan, frè Jak la, li mennen yo pou kont yo sou tèt yon mòn byen wo.

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

Antan Jezi te la, li pran chanje devan yo. Figi l' vin klere tankou solèy la. Rad li vin blan tankou yon limyè.

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

Twa disip yo wè Moyiz ak Eli parèt, yo t'ap pale ak Jezi.

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

Lè sa a, Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Met, sa bon nèt pou nou isit la. Si ou vle, m'ap moute twa ti kay, yonn pou ou, yonn pou Moyiz ak yonn pou Eli.

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.

Antan Pyè t'ap pale toujou, yon nwaj byen klere vin kouvri yo. Yo tande yon vwa soti nan nwaj la, li di: Sa se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Li fè kè m' kontan anpil. Koute li.

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.

Lè disip yo tande vwa a yo tonbe fas atè tèlman yo te pè.

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

Men, Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li manyen yo, li di: Leve non, nou pa bezwen pè.

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

Yo leve je yo, yo wè Jezi te pou kont li.

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

Antan yo t'ap desann mòn lan, Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: Pa pale ak pesonn sou sa nou sot wè a, jouk mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

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.

Twa disip yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Poukisa dirèktè lalwa yo di se pou Eli vin anvan?

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

Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. Eli gen pou l' vin anvan, pou l' mete tout bagay nan lòd.

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

Men, m'ap di nou sa: Eli vin deja. Men, yo pa t' rekonèt li, yo fè l' tou sa yo te vle. Se onsa tou, yo gen pou yo maltrete Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.

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.

Lè sa a, disip yo vin konprann li t'ap pale yo sou Jan Batis.

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

Lè yo rive kote foul moun yo, yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li lage kò l' ajenou devan l', li di:

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

Mèt, gen pitye pou pitit gason m' lan. Li gen malkadi. Lè ou tande kriz la pran l' konsa, anpil fwa li tonbe nan dife osinon nan dlo.

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.

Mwen mennen l' bay disip ou yo, men yo pa t' kapab geri li.

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

Jezi reponn: Ala moun san konfyans nan Bondye! Ala move moun! Jouk kilè pou m' rete nan mitan nou? Jouk kilè pou m' sipòte nou? Mennen ti gason an isit ban mwen.

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.

Jezi pale sevè ak move lespri a. Lespri a soti. Menm lè a, ti nonm lan geri.

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

Apre sa, disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande l' apa: Poukisa nou pa t' kapab chase move lespri sa a?

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

Jezi di yo: Se paske nou manke konfyans nan Bondye. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si nou te gen konfyans nan Bondye gwosè yon ti grenn moutad, nou ta di ti mòn sa a: wete kò ou la, al laba, li ta chanje plas. Pa gen anyen nou pa ta kapab fè.

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.

Men, kalite lespri sa yo, se fòs lapriyè ak jèn ki pou fè yo soti.

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

Yon jou, antan tout disip yo te la ansanm nan peyi Galile, Jezi di yo: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' tonbe anba men lèzòm.

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

Yo pral touye m', men sou twa jou, m'ap leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Sa te fè disip yo lapenn anpil.

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

Lè Jezi rive Kapènawòm ak disip li yo, moun ki t'ap ranmase lajan taks pou tanp lan pwoche bò kot Pyè, yo mande li: Eske mèt ou a peye lajan taks pou tanp lan?

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

Pyè di: Li peye wi. Antan Pyè ap antre nan kay la, anvan li louvri bouch li, Jezi di l': Sa ou konprann nan sa, Simon? Ki moun ki gen pou peye dwa ak taks bay leta? Sitwayen peyi a, osinon etranje?

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?

Pyè reponn li: Etranje yo. Lè sa a, Jezi di li: Si se konsa, sitwayen yo egzan.

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

Men, nou pa vle bay move egzanp: Ale bò lanmè a, voye yon zen nan dlo a. Rale premye pwason ki va mòde ladan l' lan. Louvri bouch li, wa jwenn yon pyès lajan, mezi pou peye taks pa m' ak taks pa ou. Pran l', al peye pou nou de.

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.
