¹And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,

¹ከስድስት ቀንም በኋላ ኢየሱስ ጴጥሮስንና ያዕቆብን ወንድሙንም ዮሐንስን ይዞ ወደ ረጅም ተራራ ብቻቸውን አወጣቸው።

²and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

²በፊታቸውም ተለወጠ፥ ፊቱም እንደ ፀሐይ በራ፥ ልብሱም እንደ ብርሃን ነጭ ሆነ።

³and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.

³እነሆም፥ ሙሴና ኤልያስ ከእርሱ ጋር ሲነጋገሩ ታዩአቸው።

⁴And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths — for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.`

⁴ጴጥሮስም መልሶ ኢየሱስን። ጌታ ሆይ፥ በዚህ መሆን ለእኛ መልካም ነው፤ ብትወድስ፥ በዚህ ሦስት ዳስ አንዱን ለአንተ አንዱንም ለሙሴ አንዱንም ለኤልያስ እንሥራ አለ።

⁵While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, — the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.`

⁵እርሱም ገና ሲናገር፥ እነሆ፥ ብሩህ ደመና ጋረዳቸው፥ እነሆም፥ ከደመናው። በእርሱ ደስ የሚለኝ የምወደው ልጄ ይህ ነው፤ እርሱን ስሙት የሚል ድምፅ መጣ።

⁶And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,

⁶ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ሰምተው በፊታቸው ወደቁ እጅግም ፈርተው ነበር።

⁷and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,`

⁷ኢየሱስም ቀርቦ ዳሰሳቸውና። ተነሡ አትፍሩም አላቸው።

⁸and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.

⁸ዓይናቸውንም አቅንተው ሲያዩ ከኢየሱስ ብቻ በቀር ማንንም አላዩም።

⁹And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.`

⁹ከተራራውም በወረዱ ጊዜ ኢየሱስ። የሰው ልጅ ከሙታን እስኪነሣ ድረስ ያያችሁትን ለማንም አትንገሩ ብሎ አዘዛቸው።

¹⁰And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?`

¹⁰ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። እንግዲህ ጻፎች። ኤልያስ አስቀድሞ ሊመጣ ይገባዋል ስለ ምን ይላሉ? ብለው ጠየቁት።

¹¹And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,

¹¹ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ኤልያስማ አስቀድሞ ይመጣል ሁሉንም ያቀናል፤

¹²and I say to you — Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.`

¹²ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ኤልያስ ከዚህ በፊት መጣ፤ የወደዱትንም ሁሉ አደረጉበት እንጂ አላወቁትም፤ እንዲሁም ደግሞ የሰው ልጅ ከእነርሱ መከራ ይቀበል ዘንድ አለው አላቸው።

¹³Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.

¹³በዚያን ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ስለ መጥምቁ ስለ ዮሐንስ እንደ ነገራቸው አስተዋሉ።

¹⁴And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,

¹⁴ወደ ሕዝቡም ሲደርሱ አንድ ሰው ወደ እርሱ ቀረበና ተንበርክኮ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ልጄን ማርልኝ፥ በጨረቃ እየተነሣበት ክፉኛ ይሣቀያልና፤

¹⁵and saying, `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,

¹⁵ብዙ ጊዜ በእሳት ብዙ ጊዜም በውኃ ይወድቃልና።

¹⁶and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.`

¹⁶ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርትህም አመጣሁት ሊፈውሱትም አቃታቸው አለው።

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;`

¹⁷ኢየሱስም መልሶ። የማታምን ጠማማ ትውልድ ሆይ፥ እስከ መቼ ከእናንተ ጋር እኖራለሁ? እስከ መቼስ እታገሣችኋለሁ? ወደዚህ ወደ እኔ አምጡት አለ።

¹⁸and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.

¹⁸ኢየሱስም ገሠጸው ጋኔኑም ከእርሱ ወጣ፥ ብላቴናውም ከዚያች ሰዓት ጀምሮ ተፈወሰ።

¹⁹Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?`

¹⁹ከዚህ በኋላ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ብቻቸውን ወደ ኢየሱስ ቀረቡና። እኛ ልናወጣው ያልቻልን ስለ ምን ነው? አሉት።

²⁰And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

²⁰ኢየሱስም። ስለ እምነታችሁ ማነስ ነው፤ እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ የሰናፍጭ ቅንጣት የሚያህል እምነት ቢኖራችሁ፥ ይህን ተራራ። ከዚህ ወደዚያ እለፍ ብትሉት ያልፋል፤ የሚሳናችሁም ነገር የለም።

²¹and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.`

²¹ይህ ዓይነት ግን ከጸሎትና ከጦም በቀር አይወጣም አላቸው።

²²And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, `The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,

²²በገሊላም ሲመላለሱ ኢየሱስ። የሰው ልጅ በሰዎች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጥ ዘንድ አለው፥ ይገድሉትማል፥

²³and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,` and they were exceeding sorry.

²³በሦስተኛውም ቀን ይነሣል አላቸው። እጅግም አዘኑ።

²⁴And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, `Your teacher — doth he not pay the didrachms?` He saith, `Yes.`

²⁴ወደ ቅፍርናሆምም በመጡ ጊዜ ግብር የሚቀበሉ ሰዎች ወደ ጴጥሮስ ቀረቡና። መምህራችሁ ሁለቱን ዲናር*ፍ1* አይገብርምን? አሉት።

²⁵And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, `What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth — from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?`

²⁵አዎን ይገብራል አለ። ወደ ቤትም በገባ ጊዜ ኢየሱስ አስቀድሞ። ስምዖን ሆይ፥ ምን ይመስልሃል? የምድር ነገሥታት ቀረጥና ግብር ከማን ይቀበላሉ? ከልጆቻቸውን ወይስ ከእንግዶች? አለው።

²⁶Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.` Jesus said to him, `Then are the sons free;

²⁶ጴጥሮስም። ከእንግዶች ባለው ጊዜ ኢየሱስ። እንኪያስ ልጆቻቸው ነጻ ናቸው።

²⁷but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.`

²⁷ነገር ግን እንዳናሰናክላቸው፥ ወደ ባሕር ሂድና መቃጥን ጣል፥ መጀመሪያም የሚወጣውን ዓሣ ውሰድና አፉን ስትከፍት እስታቴር*ፍ2* ታገኛለህ፤ ያን ወስደህ ስለ እኔና ስለ አንተ ስጣቸው አለው።
