1 A ka pahure nga ra e ono, ka mau a Ihu ki a Pita, ki a Hemi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani, na kawea ana ratou e ia ki runga ki tetahi maunga tiketike ki te wahi motu ke.

After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

2 A ka puta ke tona ahua i to ratou aroaro: whiti tonu tona mata me te ra, ma tonu ona kakahu me te marama.

He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

3 N a, ka kitea e ratou a Mohi raua ko Iraia e korerorero ana ki a ia.

Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

4 K atahi ka oho a Pita, ka mea ki a Ihu, E te Ariki, he pai kia noho tatou i konei: ki te pai koe, ma matou e hanga etahi wharau ki konei kia toru; kia kotahi mou, kia kotahi mo Mohi, kia kotahi mo Iraia.

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.”

5 I a ia ano e korero ana, na ka taumarumaru iho te kapua marama i runga i a ratou: na he reo no te kapua e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai; whakarongo ki a ia.

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.”

6 A no ka rongo nga akonga, ka takoto tapapa ratou, he nui hoki to ratou wehi.

When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

7 N a ka haere a Ihu, ka pa ki a ratou, ka mea, Whakatika, kaua e wehi.

Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”

8 A , no ka ara ake o ratou kanohi, kahore he tangata i kitea e ratou, ko Ihu anake.

Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

9 N a, i a ratou e heke iho ana i te maunga, ka whakatupato a Ihu i a ratou, ka mea, Kaua e korerotia ki te tangata te mea i kitea nei, kia ara ake ra ano te Tama a te tangata i te hunga mate.

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.”

10 A ka ui ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He aha nga karaipi ka mea ai, ko Iraia kia matua puta mai?

His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

11 N a ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko Iraia ano e matua puta hei whakatika i nga mea katoa;

Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,

12 K o taku ia tenei ki a koutou, Kua tae noa mai a Iraia a kihai ratou i mohio ki a ia, heoi meatia ana e ratou ki a ia ta ratou i pai ai. E pera ano te Tama a te tangata te mamae i a ratou.

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.”

13 K atahi ka mohio nga akonga ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tana i korero ai ki a ratou.

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

14 A , no ka tae ratou ki te mano, ka haere mai ki a ia tetahi tangata, ka tuturi nga turi ki a ia, ka mea,

When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,

15 E te ariki, kia aroha ki taku tana; he haurangi hoki ia, he kino tona mamae: he maha hoki ona hinganga ki te kapura, he maha ki te wai.

“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.

16 A i kawea ia e ahau ki au akonga, heoi kihai ia i taea te whakaora e ratou.

So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

17 N a ka oho a Ihu, ka mea, E te uri whakaponokore, parori ke, kia pehea te roa o toku noho ki a koutou? Kia pehea te roa o toku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai ia ki konei, ki ahau.

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.”

18 N a ka riria te rewera e Ihu; a puta ana i roto i a ia; a ora ake te tamaiti i taua wa pu ano.

Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

19 M e i reira ka haere puku nga akonga ki a Ihu, ka mea, He aha ra te ahei ai i a matou te pei i a ia ki waho?

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”

20 N a ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Na to koutou whakapono iti; he pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te mea he whakapono to koutou, pera me to te pua nani te rahi, e mea koutou ki tenei maunga, Neke atu i konei ki tera wahi; a ka neke; kahore hok i he mea e kore e taea e koutou.

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.

21 O tira e kore e puta noa te pena, ma te inoi anake me te nohopuku.

But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”

22 A , i a ratou e noho ana i Kariri, ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Meake tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o nga tangata:

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,

23 A ka whakamatea e ratou, a i te toru o nga ra ka ara. A nui atu to ratou pouri.

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.

24 A , no to ratou taenga ki Kaperenauma, ka haere mai ki a Pita nga kaikohikohi i te hawhe hekere, ka mea, E kore ianei tou Kaiwhakaako e homai i te hawhe hekere?

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”

25 K a mea ia, E hoatu ano. A, no ka tapoko ia ki te whare, ko Ihu kua korero ki a ia, kua mea, E pehea ana tou whakaaro, e Haimona? E tangohia ana e nga kingi o te ao nga takoha taonga me te takoha tangata i a wai? i a ratou ake tama, i a nga tanga ta ke ranei?

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?”

26 K a mea a Pita ki a ia, I a nga tangata ke. Na ko te kianga a Ihu ki a ia, Ha, pena ka haere noa nga tamariki.

Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.

27 A hakoa ra kei whai take he mai ratou ki a tatou, haere ki te moana, piua tetahi matau, a ka eke te ika matamua, tangohia; na, ka whakatuwhera i tona mangai, ka kite ai koe i tetahi moni: tangohia tena, ka hoatu ki a ratou, hei mea moku, mou.

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. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
