Matthew 17

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, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

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 did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Ary, indreo, niseho tamin'ny mpianatra Mosesy sy Elia, niresaka tamin'i Jesosy.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Ary Jesosy nankeo aminy, dia nanendry azy ka nanao hoe; Mitsangàna, fa aza matahotra.

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

Ary nony niandrandra izy ireo, dia tsy nahita olona, afa-tsy Jesosy irery ihany.

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

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 man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

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 say the scribes that Elias must first come?

Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Elia dia avy ihany ka hampody ny zavatra rehetra.

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

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 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.

Dia fantatry ny mpianatra fa Jaona Mpanao-batisa no nolazainy taminy.

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

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 certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

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

Ary nitondra azy tamin'ny mpianatrao aho, fa tsy nahay nahasitrana azy izy.

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

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

Ary niteny mafy azy Jesosy, dia nivoaka taminy ny demonia, ka sitrana ilay zazalahy tamin'izay ora izay.

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

Dia nankao amin'i Jesosy mangingina ny mpianatra ka nanao hoe: Nahoana izahay no tsy nahavoaka azy?

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.
