1Mi ɛeddan sețța wussan, Sidna Ɛisa yewwi yid-es Buṭrus, Yeɛqub akk-d gma-s Yuḥenna, ulin ɣer wedrar eɛlayen, anda qqimen ḍeṛfen iman-nsen.
1After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
2Taswiɛt kan ibeddel ṣṣifa zdat sen, walan udem-is yețfeǧǧiǧ am yiṭij, llebsa-s tuɣal ț-țamellalt, tecceɛceɛ am tafat.
2He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
3A ten-aya dehṛen-asen-d Sidna Musa akk-d Sidna Ilyas țmeslayen d Sidna Ɛisa.
3Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
4Buṭrus inṭeq yenna i Sidna Ɛisa : A Sidi, yelha ma neqqim dagi, ma tebɣiḍ ad sbeddeɣ tlata iqiḍunen : yiwen i kečč, yiwen i Sidna Musa, wayeḍ i Sidna Ilyas.
4Peter answered, and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5Mazal-it ițmeslay mi d-ters yiwet n tagut ițfeǧǧiǧen tɣumm-iten. Si tagut-nni tenṭeq-ed yiwet n taɣect, tenna-d : Wagi d Mmi eɛzizen deg-s i gella lfeṛḥ-iw, smeḥsiset-as !
5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
6Mi slan i taɣect-nni, inelmaden ikcem-iten lxuf, ɣlin ɣef wudem.
6When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7Sidna Ɛisa yessers afus-is fell-asen, yenna-yasen : Ur țțaggadet ara, kkret !
7Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
8Mi refden allen-nsen, ur walan ula d yiwen nniḍen anagar Sidna Ɛisa.
8Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
9Akken i d-țadren seg wedrar, Sidna Ɛisa yumeṛ-iten yenna-yasen : Ur qqaṛet i yiwen wayen akka twalam alamma yeḥya-d Mmi-s n bunadem si ger lmegtin.
9As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
10Inelmaden steqsan Sidna Ɛisa nnan-as : Iwacu imusnawen n ccariɛa qqaṛen-d : « Ilaq a d-yas nnbi Ilyas d amezwaru ? »
10His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11Yerra-yasen : Ț-țideț ilaq a d-yas nnbi Ilyas d amezwaru, iwakken ad iseggem kullec.
11Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,
12Ma d nekk aql-i nniɣ awen-d : nnbi Ilyas yusa-d yakan, lameɛna imdanen ur t-ɛqilen ara yerna xedmen deg-s akken i sen ihwa. Akka daɣen ara inɛețțab Mmi-s n bunadem ger ifassen-nsen !
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”
13Inelmaden fehmen imiren belli ițmeslay-asen-d ɣef Yeḥya aɣeṭṭas.
13Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
14Mi wwḍen ɣer wanda llan lɣaci, yiwen wergaz iqeṛṛeb-ed ɣer Sidna Ɛisa, yeɣli ɣef tgecrar zdat-es yenna yas :
14When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,
15A Sidi, ḥunn ɣef mmi ! Atan kkaten-t imsigman, yenneɛtab aṭas ! Acḥal d abrid i geɣli ɣer tmes neɣ ɣer waman,
15“Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16wwiɣ-t-id i inelmaden-ik, meɛna ur zmiren ara a t-sseḥlun.
16So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
17Inṭeq Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yasen : A lǧil ijehlen, iɛewjen ! Ar melmi ara yiliɣ yid-wen ? Ar melmi ara wen-sebṛeɣ ? Awit-iyi-d aqcic-agi ɣer dagi !
17Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
18Sidna Ɛisa iɛeggeḍ ɣef lǧen-nni, yumeṛ-as ad iffeɣ seg weqcic-nni. Imiren kan, aqcic-nni yeḥla.
18Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
19Mi llan inelmaden iman-nsen, qeṛṛben ɣer Sidna Ɛisa nnan-as : Acuɣeṛ nukkni ur nezmir ara a t-nessufeɣ ?
19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
20Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yasen : Axaṭer txuṣṣem di liman ! Aql-i nniɣ-awen, lemmer tesɛim liman annect n uɛeqqa n uxerḍel, tili a s tinim i wedrar-agi, qleɛ iman-ik sya ɣer dihin ad iqleɛ. Ulac wayen iwumi ur tețțizmirem ara.
20He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21Sṣenf-agi n leǧnun țeffɣen anagar s tẓallit d uẓummu.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
22Mi llan di tmurt n Jlili, Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yasen : Mmi-s n bunadem ad ițțusellem ger ifassen n yemdanen ;
22While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
23a t-nɣen, meɛna ass wis tlata a d-iḥyu si ger lmegtin. DDɣa inelmaden ikcem-iten leḥzen d ameqqran.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
24Mi gewweḍ Sidna Ɛisa akk-d inelmaden-is ɣer Kafernaḥum, imekkasen n lǧameɛ qeṛṛben-d ɣer Buṭrus nnan-as : Eɛni Ssid-nwen ur ițxelliṣ ara tabzert n lǧameɛ ?
24When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins A didrachma is a Greek silver coin worth 2 drachmas, about as much as 2 Roman denarii, or about 2 days’ wages. It was commonly used to pay the half-shekel temple tax, because 2 drachmas were worth one half shekel of silver. came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
25Yerra-yasen Buṭrus : Ih, ad ixelleṣ ! Imiren kan mi gekcem Buṭrus ɣer wexxam, Sidna Ɛisa iluɛa-t, yenna-yas : D acu twalaḍ a Buṭrus ? Anwa i glaqen ad ixelleṣ tabzert i igelliden n ddunit-a , d arraw-nsen neɣ d ibeṛṛaniyen ?
25He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
26Buṭrus yerra-yas : D ibeṛṛaniyen ! DDɣa Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yas-d : Ihi arraw n tmurt ur țxelliṣen ara !
26Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
27Lameɛna iwakken ur ten-yețɣaḍ ara lḥal, ṛuḥ, ḍeggeṛ tasennaṛt ɣer lebḥeṛ, aslem ( aḥewtiw ) amezwaru ara d-teṭṭfeḍ, ldi-yas imi, aț-țafeḍ deg-s aṣurdi n lfeṭṭa, efk-asen-t d lexlaṣ n tebzert-nneɣ nekk yid-ek.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. A stater is a silver coin equivalent to four Attic or two Alexandrian drachmas, or a Jewish shekel: just exactly enough to cover the half-shekel temple tax for two people. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
