1 S ix days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and his brother John. He led them up to a high mountain by themselves.

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.

2 H e was changed in looks before them. His face was as bright as the sun. His clothes looked as white as light.

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

3 M oses and Elijah were seen talking with Jesus.

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

4 T hen Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will let us, we will build three altars here. One will be for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

Katahi 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.

5 W hile Peter was speaking, a bright cloud came over them. A voice from the cloud said, “This is My much-loved Son, I am very happy with Him. Listen to Him!”

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.

6 W hen the followers heard this, they got down on the ground on their faces and were very much afraid.

Ano ka rongo nga akonga, ka takoto tapapa ratou, he nui hoki to ratou wehi.

7 J esus came and put His hand on them. He said, “Get up! Do not be afraid.”

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

8 W hen they looked up, they saw no one there but Jesus only.

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

9 A s they came down from the mountain, Jesus told them in strong words, saying, “Do not tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” The Followers Ask about Elijah

Na, 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.

10 T he followers asked Jesus, “Then why do the teachers of the Law say that Elijah must come first?”

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

11 H e said, “For sure, Elijah will come first and get things ready.

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

12 B ut I tell you, Elijah has already come and they did not know him. They did to him whatever they wanted to do. In the same way the Son of Man will suffer from them also.”

Ko 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.

13 T hen the followers understood He was talking about John the Baptist. A Boy with a Demon Is Healed

Katahi ka mohio nga akonga ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tana i korero ai ki a ratou.

14 W hen they came to many people, a man came up to Jesus and got on his knees. He said,

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,

15 “ Lord, have pity on my son. He is very sick and at times loses the use of his mind. Many times he falls into the fire or into the water.

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.

16 I took him to Your followers but they were not able to heal him.”

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

17 T hen Jesus said, “You people of this day have no faith and you are going the wrong way. How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

Na 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.

18 J esus spoke sharp words to the demon and the demon came out of him. At once the boy was healed.

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

19 T he followers came to Jesus when He was alone. They said, “Why were we not able to put the demon out?”

Me 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?

20 J esus said to them, “Because you have so little faith. For sure, I tell you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to over there,’ and it would move over. You will be able to do anything.

Na 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.

21 B ut this kind of demon does not go out but by prayer and by going without food so you can pray better.” Jesus Tells of His Death the Second Time

Otira e kore e puta noa te pena, ma te inoi anake me te nohopuku.

22 W hile they were still in Galilee, Jesus said to the followers, “The Son of Man will be handed over to men.

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:

23 T hey will kill Him, but He will be raised from the dead three days later.” The followers were very sad.

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

24 T hey came to the city of Capernaum. Those who gathered the tax for the house of God came to Peter. They said, “Does not your Teacher pay tax money for the house of God?”

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?

25 P eter said, “Yes.” When Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first. He said, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of this earth get their money or taxes, from their own people or from those of another country?”

Ka 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?

26 P eter said to Him, “From those of another country.” Then Jesus said, “Then their own people do not pay taxes.

Ka 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.

27 B ut so we will not make them to be troubled, go down to the lake and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up. In its mouth you will find a piece of money. Take that and pay the tax for Me and yourself.”

Ahakoa 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.
