17:1
Καὶ μεθ’ ἡμέρας ἓξ παραλαμβάνει ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὸν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰάκωβον καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀναφέρει αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν κατ’ ἰδίαν.
Et post dies sex assumit Jesus Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem fratrem ejus, et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum :
ወእምድኅረ ስሱ መዋዕል ነሥኦሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ለጴጥሮስ ወለያዕቆብ ወለዮሐንስ እኁሁ ወአዕረጎሙ ደብረ ነዋኀ እንተ ባሕቲቶሙ።
After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
17:2
καὶ μετεμορφώθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔλαμψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος, τὰ δὲ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο λευκὰ ὡς τὸ φῶς.
et transfiguratus est ante eos. Et resplenduit facies ejus sicut sol : vestimenta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix.
ወተወለጠ ራእዩ በቅድሜሆሙ ወአብርሀ ገጹ ከመ ፀሐይ ወአልባሲሁኒ ኮነ ጸዐዳ ከመ በረድ።
He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
17:3
καὶ ἰδοὺ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς Μωϋσῆς καὶ Ἡλείας συνλαλοῦντες μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
Et ecce apparuerunt illis Moyses et Elias cum eo loquentes.
ወናሁ አስተርአይዎሙ ሙሴ ወኤልያስ እንዘ ይትናገሩ ምስሌሁ።
Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
17:4
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ· κύριε, καλόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς ὧδε εἶναι· εἰ θέλεις, ποιήσω ὧδε τρεῖς σκηνάς, σοὶ μίαν καὶ Μωϋσεῖ μίαν καὶ Ἡλείᾳ μίαν.
Respondens autem Petrus, dixit ad Jesum : Domine, bonum est nos hic esse : si vis, faciamus tria tabernacula, tibi unum, Moysi unum, et Eliae unum.
ወአውሥአ ጴጥሮስ ወይቤሎ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ እግዚኦ ሠናይ ውእቱ ለነ ሀልዎ ዝየ ወእመሰ ትፈቅድ ንግበር በዝየ ሠለስተ ማኅደረ አሐደ ለከ ወአሐደ ለሙሴ ወአሐደ ለኤልያስ።
Peter 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.”
17:5
ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, ἰδοὺ νεφέλη φωτεινὴ ἐπεσκίασεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τῆς νεφέλης λέγουσα· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα· ἀκούετε αὐτοῦ.
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.

While 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.”
17:6
καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ μαθηταὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα.
Et audientes discipuli ceciderunt in faciem suam, et timuerunt valde.
ወሰሚዖሙ አርዳኢሁ ደንገፁ ወፈርሁ ጥቀ ወወድቁ በገጾሙ ዲበ ምድር።
When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
17:7
καὶ προσῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἁψάμενος αὐτῶν εἶπεν· ἐγέρθητε καὶ μὴ φοβεῖσθε.
Et accessit Jesus, et tetigit eos : dixitque eis : Surgite, et nolite timere.
ወቀርበ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወለከፎሙ ወይቤሎሙ ተንሥኡ ወኢትፍርሁ።
Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
17:8
ἐπάραντες δὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν οὐδένα εἶδον εἰ μὴ τὸν Ἰησοῦν μόνον.
Levantes autem oculos suos, neminem viderunt, nisi solum Jesum.
ወአንሥኡ አዕይንቲሆሙ ወአልቦ ዘርእዩ ወኢመነሂ ዘእንበለ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ባሕቲቱ።
Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
17:9
καὶ καταβαινόντων αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· μηδενὶ εἴπητε τὸ ὅραμα ἕως οὗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγερθῇ.
Et descendentibus illis de monte, praecepit eis Jesus, dicens : Nemini dixeritis visionem, donec Filius hominis a mortuis resurgat.
ወእንዘ ይወርዱ እምደብር አዘዞሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ እንዘ ይብል ኢትንግሩ ወኢለመኑሂ ዘርኢክሙ እስከ አመ ወልደ ዕጓለ እመሕያው እሙታን ይትነሣእ።
As 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.”
17:10
Καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες· τί οὖν οἱ γραμματεῖς λέγουσιν ὅτι Ἡλείαν δεῖ ἐλθεῖν πρῶτον;
Et interrogaverunt eum discipuli, dicentes : Quid ergo scribae dicunt, quod Eliam oporteat primum venire ?
ወተስእልዎ አርዳኢሁ እንዘ ይብሉ እፎ ይብሉ ጸሐፍት ኤልያስ ሀለዎ ይምጻእ ቅድመ።
His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
17:11
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· Ἡλείας μὲν ἔρχεται καὶ ἀποκαταστήσει πάντα.
At ille respondens, ait eis : Elias quidem venturus est, et restituet omnia.
ወአውሥአ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወይቤሎሙ እወ ኤልያስ ይቀድም መጺአ ወያስተራትዕ ኵሎ።
Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
17:12
λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι Ἡλείας ἤδη ἦλθεν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτὸν, ἀλλὰ ἐποίησαν ἐν αὐτῷ ὅσα ἠθέλησαν. οὕτως καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μέλλει πάσχειν ὑπ’ αὐτῶν.
Dico autem vobis, quia Elias jam venit, et non cognoverunt eum, sed fecerunt in eo quaecumque voluerunt. Sic et Filius hominis passurus est ab eis.

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.”
17:13
τότε συνῆκαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὅτι περὶ Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς.
Tunc intellexerunt discipuli, quia de Joanne Baptista dixisset eis.
ወእምዝ አእመሩ አርዳኢሁ ከመ በእንተ ዮሐንስ መጥምቅ ይቤሎሙ።
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
17:14
Καὶ ἐλθόντων πρὸς τὸν ὄχλον, προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἄνθρωπος γονυπετῶν αὐτὸν
Et cum venisset ad turbam, accessit ad eum homo genibus provolutus ante eum, dicens : Domine, miserere filio meo, quia lunaticus est, et male patitur : nam saepe cadit in ignem, et crebro in aquam.
ወበጺሖ ኀበ ሕዝብ ቀርበ ኀቤሁ ብእሲ ወሰገደ ሎቱ እንዘ ይትመሐለል ወይብል፤
When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
17:15
καὶ λέγων· κύριε, ἐλέησόν μου τὸν υἱόν, ὅτι σεληνιάζεται καὶ κακῶς πάσχει· πολλάκις γὰρ πίπτει εἰς τὸ πῦρ καὶ πολλάκις εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ.
Et obtuli eum discipulis tuis, et non potuerunt curare eum.

“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.
17:16
καὶ προσήνεγκα αὐτὸν τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν αὐτὸν θεραπεῦσαι.
Respondens autem Jesus, ait : O generatio incredula, et perversa, quousque ero vobiscum ? usquequo patiar vos ? Afferte huc illum ad me.
ወአምጻእክዎ ኀበ አርዳኢከ ወስእኑ ፈውሶቶ።
So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
17:17
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος καὶ διεστραμμένη, ἕως πότε μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἔσομαι; ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν; φέρετέ μοι αὐτὸν ὧδε.
Et increpavit illum Jesus, et exiit ab eo daemonium, et curatus est puer ex illa hora.

Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
17:18
καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ τὸ δαιμόνιον, καὶ ἐθεραπεύθη ὁ παῖς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
Tunc accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum secreto, et dixerunt : Quare nos non potuimus ejicere illum ?
ወገሠጾ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወወፅአ ጋኔኑ እምላዕሌሁ ወሐይወ ወልዱ በይእቲ ሰዓት።
Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
17:19
Τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ κατ’ ἰδίαν εἶπον· διὰ τί ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἠδυνήθημεν ἐκβαλεῖν αὐτό;
Dixit illis Jesus : Propter incredulitatem vestram. Amen quippe dico vobis, si habueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis monti huic : Transi hinc illuc, et transibit, et nihil impossibile erit vobis.
ወእምዝ ቀሪቦሙ አርዳኢሁ እንተ ባሕቲቶሙ ይቤልዎ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ በእንተ ምንት ንሕነ ስእነ አውፅኦቶ።
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
17:20
ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτοῖς· διὰ τὴν ὀλιγοπιστίαν ὑμῶν· ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν ἔχητε πίστιν ὡς κόκκον σινάπεως, ἐρεῖτε τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ· μετάβα ἔνθεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ μεταβήσεται, καὶ οὐδὲν ἀδυνατήσει ὑμῖν.
Hoc autem genus non ejicitur nisi per orationem et jejunium.

He 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.
17:21—
Conversantibus autem eis in Galilaea, dixit illis Jesus : Filius hominis tradendus est in manus hominum :
ወዝንቱ ዘመድ ኢይወፅእ ዘእንበለ በጾም ወበጸሎት።
But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
17:22
Συστρεφομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, μέλλει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοσθαι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων,
et occident eum, et tertia die resurget. Et contristati sunt vehementer.

While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
17:23
καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθήσεται. καὶ ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα.
Et cum venissent Capharnaum, accesserunt qui didrachma accipiebant ad Petrum, et dixerunt ei : Magister vester non solvit didrachma ?

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
17:24
Ἐλθόντων δὲ αὐτῶν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ προσῆλθον οἱ τὰ δίδραχμα λαμβάνοντες τῷ Πέτρῳ καὶ εἶπαν· ὁ διδάσκαλος ὑμῶν οὐ τελεῖ δίδραχμα;
Ait : Etiam. Et cum intrasset in domum, praevenit eum Jesus, dicens : Quid tibi videtur Simon ? reges terrae a quibus accipiunt tributum vel censum ? a filiis suis, an ab alienis ?

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
17:25
λέγει· ναί. καὶ εἰσελθόντα εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν προέφθασεν αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· τί σοι δοκεῖ, Σίμων; οἱ Βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ τίνων λαμβάνουσιν τέλη ἢ κῆνσον; ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων;
Et ille dixit : Ab alienis. Dixit illi Jesus : Ergo liberi sunt filii.

He 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?”
17:26
εἰπόντος δέ· ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων, ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄραγε ἐλεύθεροί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοί.
Ut autem non scandalizemus eos, vade ad mare, et mitte hamum : et eum piscem, qui primus ascenderit, tolle : et aperto ore ejus, invenies staterem : illum sumens, da eis pro me et te.

Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
17:27
ἵνα δὲ μὴ σκανδαλίσωμεν αὐτούς, πορευθεὶς εἰς θάλασσαν βάλε ἄγκιστρον καὶ τὸν ἀναβάντα πρῶτον ἰχθὺν ἆρον, καὶ ἀνοίξας τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ εὑρήσεις στατῆρα· ἐκεῖνον λαβὼν δὸς αὐτοῖς ἀντὶ ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ.
