1After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
1 Jirbi iddu banda, kala Yesu na Bitros da Yakuba nda nga kayne Yohanna sambu ka kond'ey nga banda tondi kuuku fo boŋ, ngey hinne.
2He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
2 A taka barmay i jine, a moyduma mo kaari sanda wayna cine, a bankaaray mo te ikwaarayyaŋ sanda kaari cine.
3Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
3 Kala binde Musa nda Iliya* bangay i se noodin. I goono ga salaŋ da Yesu.
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.”
4 Bitros binde tu ka ne Yesu se: «Rabbi, iri ne goonoyaŋo ga boori. Day, da ni yadda, ay ga tanda hinza te neewo, afo ni se, afo Musa se, afo mo Iliya se.»
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.”
5 A go sanno gaa yaadin, kala buru fo go kaŋ ga kaari, a te i se yuumay. Kala jinde fo fun buro ra ka ne: «Boro woone ga ti ay izo kaŋ ay ga ba, kaŋ ay ga maa a kaani gumo. Wa maa a se.»
6When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
6 Waato kaŋ talibey maa jinda, i humburu gumo ka ye ganda ngey moydumey boŋ.
7Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
7 Yesu kaa i do k'i ham. A ne i se: «Wa si humburu bo, wa tun.»
8Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
8 Waato kaŋ i na ngey moy feeri, i mana di boro kulu koyne kala Yesu hinne.
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.”
9 Waato kaŋ i go ga zumbu ka fun tondo boŋ, Yesu n'i lordi ka ne: «Araŋ ma si bangandiyaŋ wo baaru ci boro kulu se, kala nda Boro Izo tun ka fun buukoy game ra jina.»
10His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
10 A talibey n'a hã ka ne: «Ifo se no asariya* dondonandikoy goono ga ne kala Iliya ma kaa jina?»
11Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,
11 A tu ka ne: «Daahir no Iliya ga kaa, a ga hay kulu ye mo.
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.”
12 Amma ay ga ne araŋ se: Iliya jin ka kaa, day i man'a bay, i te a se mo haŋ kaŋ kaan ngey se. Yaadin no Boro Izo mo ga maa taabi i kambe ra.»
13Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
13 Gaa no talibey faham kaŋ Yohanna kaŋ na baptisma* te sanni no a goono ga te ngey se.
14When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,
14 Waato kaŋ i kaa borey marga do, boro fo kaa Yesu do ka sombu a se ka ne:
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.
15 «Rabbi, ma bakar ay izo wo se, zama curo-curo no a gaa. A goono ga gurzugay gumo. Zama sorro boobo a ga kaŋ danji ra, sorro boobo mo hari ra.
16So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
16 Ay kand'a mo ni talibey do, amma i mana hin k'a no baani.»
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.”
17 Yesu tu ka ne: «Ya zamana wo borey kaŋ sinda cimbeeri*, kaŋ yaŋ gonda daa siiro! Kala waatifo no ay ga goro araŋ do? Kala waatifo no ay ga suuru nd'araŋ? Wa kand'a neewo ay do.»
18Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
18 Yesu deeni folla gaa, a fun mo arwaso banda. Za saaya din ra a du baani.
19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
19 Gaa no Yesu talibey kaa a do kambu fo ka ne: «Ifo se no iri wo mana hin ka folla din gaaray?»
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.
20 A ne i se: «Araŋ cimandiyaŋo no ga sasabay. Zama haciika ay ga ne araŋ se, d'araŋ gonda cimbeeri* sanda mutard* ize cine, kal araŋ ma ne tondi kuuko wo se: ‹Tun ne ka koy yongo› -- kal a ma tun. Hari kulu mo si mongo araŋ se.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
21 Amma woone dumi si gaaray kala adduwa nda mehaw gaa.»
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,
22 Za i go Galili ga goro jina Yesu ne i se: «I ga Boro Izo daŋ borey kambe ra.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
23 I g'a wi mo, day, jirbi hinzanta ra Irikoy ga ye k'a tunandi koyne.» Kal a talibey biney sara gumo.
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?”
24 Waato kaŋ i kaa Kafarnahum, kala Irikoy windo jangal taakoy kaa Bitros do ka ne: «Ni alfaga, a si Irikoy windo jangal bana, wala?»
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?”
25 Bitros ne: «Oho! A ga.» Waato kaŋ a furo fuwo ra, Yesu jin ka salaŋ nd'a ka ne: «Ifo no ni di ni bina ra, Siman? Ndunnya koyey, may gaa no i ga dwan nooru wala jangal ta? Ngey izey gaa, wala yawey gaa no?»
26Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
26 Waato kaŋ Bitros tu ka ne: «Yawey gaa no,» kala Yesu ne a se: «Yaadin gaa, i izey wo, a si i boŋ.
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.”
27 Amma kulu nda yaadin, zama iri ma si daŋ i ma ture, ni ma koy teeko me gaa ka darbu catu. Hamisa kaŋ ni jin ka du din, waato kaŋ ni g'a meyo feeri ni ga di nooru ize fo go a meyo ra. M'a sambu ka no i se, in da nin wano no.»
