Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 17
1. Et post dies sex assumit Iesus Petrum et Iacobum et Ioan nem fratrem eius et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum.
1. And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart.
2. Et transfiguratus est ante eos; et resplenduit facies eius sicut sol, vestimenta autem eius facta sunt alba sicut lux.
2. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light.
3. Et ecce apparuit illis Moyses et Elias cum eo loquentes.
3. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Eli'jah, talking with him.
4. Respondens autem Petrus dixit ad Iesum: “Domine, bonum est nos hic esse. Si vis, faciam hic tria tabernacula: tibi unum et Moysi unum et Eliae unum”.
4. And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."
5. Adhuc eo loquente, ecce nubes lucida obumbravit eos; et ecce vox de nube dicens: “Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi bene complacui; ipsum audite”.
5. He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."
6. Et audientes discipuli ceciderunt in faciem suam et timuerunt valde.
6. When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe.
7. Et accessit Iesus et tetigit eos dixitque eis: “Surgite et nolite timere”.
7. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and have no fear."
8. Levantes autem oculos suos, neminem viderunt nisi solum Iesum.
8. And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9. Et descendentibus illis de monte, praecepit eis Iesus dicens: “Nemini dixeritis visionem, donec Filius hominis a mortuis resurgat”.
9. And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, "Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is raised from the dead."
10. Et interrogaverunt eum discipuli dicentes: “Quid ergo scribae dicunt quod Eliam oporteat primum venire?”.
10. And the disciples asked him, "Then why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?"
11. At ille respondens ait: “Elias quidem venturus est et restituet omnia.
11. He replied, "Eli'jah does come, and he is to restore all things;
12. Dico autem vobis quia Elias iam venit, et non cognoverunt eum, sed fecerunt in eo, quaecumque voluerunt; sic et Filius hominis passurus est ab eis”.
12. but I tell you that Eli'jah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of man will suffer at their hands."
13. Tunc intellexerunt discipuli quia de Ioanne Baptista dixisset eis.
13. Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
14. Et cum venissent ad turbam, accessit ad eum homo genibus provolutus ante eum
14. And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said,
15. et dicens: “Domine, miserere filii mei, quia lunaticus est et male patitur; nam saepe cadit in ignem et crebro in aquam.
15. "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16. Et obtuli eum discipulis tuis, et non potuerunt curare eum”.
16. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him."
17. Respondens autem Iesus ait: “O generatio incredula et perversa, quousque ero vobiscum? Usquequo patiar vos? Afferte huc illum ad me”.
17. And Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me."
18. Et increpavit eum Iesus, et exiit ab eo daemonium, et curatus est puer ex illa hora.
18. And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly.
19. Tunc accesserunt discipuli ad Iesum secreto et dixerunt: “Quare nos non potuimus eicere illum?”.
19. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"
20. Ille autem dicit illis: “Propter modicam fidem vestram. Amen quippe dico vobis: Si habueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis monti huic: “Transi hinc illuc!”, et transibit, et nihil impossibile erit vobis”.
20. He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."
21. Conversantibus autem eis in Galilaea, dixit illis Iesus: “Filius hominis tradendus est in manus hominum,
21.
22. []
22. As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men,
23. et occident eum, et tertio die resurget”. Et contristati sunt vehementer.
23. and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day." And they were greatly distressed.
24. Et cum venissent Capharnaum, accesserunt, qui didrachma accipiebant, ad Petrum et dixerunt: “Magister vester non solvit didrachma?”.
24. When they came to Caper'na-um, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the tax?"
25. Ait: “Etiam”. Et cum intrasset domum, praevenit eum Iesus dicens: “Quid tibi videtur, Simon? Reges terrae a quibus accipiunt tributum vel censum? A filiis suis an ab alienis?”.
25. He said, "Yes." And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their sons or from others?"
26. Cum autem ille dixisset: “Ab alienis”, dixit illi Iesus: “Ergo liberi sunt filii.
26. And when he said, "From others," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free.
27. Ut autem non scandalizemus eos, vade ad mare et mitte hamum; et eum piscem, qui primus ascenderit, tolle; et, aperto ore, eius invenies staterem. Illum sumens, da eis pro me et te”.
27. However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel; take that and give it to them for me and for yourself."
