Vangelo secondo Matteo 17

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Et post dies sex assumit Iesus Petrum et Iacobum et Ioan nem fratremeius et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum.	1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a highmountain by themselves.
2 Et transfiguratus est anteeos; et resplenduit facies eius sicut sol, vestimenta autem eius facta sunt albasicut lux.	2 There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became asdazzling as light.
3 Et ecce apparuit illis Moyses et Elias cum eo loquentes.	3 And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him.
4 Respondens autem Petrus dixit ad Iesum: “ Domine, bonum est nos hic esse. Sivis, faciam hic tria tabernacula: tibi unum et Moysi unum et Eliae unum ”.	4 Then Peter spoke to Jesus. 'Lord,' he said, 'it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I willmake three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.'
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 stil speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from thecloud there came a voice which said, 'This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.'
6 Et audientes discipuli ceciderunt in faciem suam et timuerunt valde.	6 When they heard this, the disciples fel on their faces, overcome with fear.
7 Etaccessit Iesus et tetigit eos dixitque eis: “ Surgite et nolite timere ”.	7 But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, 'Stand up, do not be afraid.'
8 Levantes autem oculos suos, neminem viderunt nisi solum Iesum.	8 And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus.
9 Et descendentibus illis de monte, praecepit eis Iesus dicens: “ Neminidixeritis visionem, donec Filius hominis a mortuis resurgat ”.	9 As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order, 'Tel no one about this vision untilthe Son of man has risen from the dead.'
10 Et interrogaverunt eum discipuli dicentes: “ Quid ergo scribae dicunt quodEliam oporteat primum venire? ”.	10 And the disciples put this question to him, 'Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?'
11 At ille respondens ait: “ Elias quidemventurus est et restituet omnia.	11 He replied, 'Elijah is indeed coming, and he wil set everything right again;
12 Dico autem vobis quia Elias iam venit, etnon cognoverunt eum, sed fecerunt in eo, quaecumque voluerunt; sic et Filiushominis passurus est ab eis ”.	12 however, I tel you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him asthey pleased; and the Son of man wil suffer similarly at their hands.'
13 Tunc intellexerunt discipuli quia de IoanneBaptista dixisset eis.	13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking of John the Baptist.
14 Et cum venissent ad turbam, accessit ad eum homo genibus provolutus ante eum	14 As they were rejoining the crowd a man came up to him and went down on his knees before him.
15 et dicens: “ Domine, miserere filii mei, quia lunaticus est et malepatitur; nam saepe cadit in ignem et crebro in aquam.	15 'Lord,' he said, 'take pity on my son: he is demented and in a wretched state; he is always fal ing intofire and into water.
16 Et obtuli eumdiscipulis tuis, et non potuerunt curare eum ”.	16 I took him to your disciples and they were unable to cure him.'
17 Respondens autem Iesus ait:“ O generatio incredula et perversa, quousque ero vobiscum? Usquequo patiarvos? Afferte huc illum ad me ”.	17 In reply, Jesus said, 'Faithless and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you? Howmuch longer must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.'
18 Et increpavit eum Iesus, et exiit ab eodaemonium, et curatus est puer ex illa hora.	18 And when Jesus rebuked it the devil came out of the boy, who was cured from that moment.
19 Tunc accesserunt discipuli adIesum secreto et dixerunt: “ Quare nos non potuimus eicere illum? ”.	19 Then the disciples came privately to Jesus. 'Why were we unable to drive it out?' they asked.
20 Illeautem dicit illis: “ Propter modicam fidem vestram. Amen quippe dico vobis: Sihabueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis monti huic: “Transi hinc illuc!”, et transibit, etnihil impossibile erit vobis ”.	20 He answered, 'Because you have so little faith. In truth I tel you, if your faith is the size of a mustardseed you wil say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it wil move; nothing will be impossible foryou.'
21 .	21
22 Conversantibus autem eis in Galilaea,dixit illis Iesus: “ Filius hominis tradendus est in manus hominum,	22 When they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of man is going to be delivered intothe power of men;
23 etoccident eum, et tertio die resurget ”. Et contristati sunt vehementer.	23 they will put him to death, and on the third day he wil be raised up again.' And a great sadness cameover them.
24 Et cum venissent Capharnaum, accesserunt, qui didrachma accipiebant, adPetrum et dixerunt: “ Magister vester non solvit didrachma? ”.	24 When they reached Capernaum, the col ectors of the half-shekel came to Peter and said, 'Does yourmaster not pay the half-shekel?'
25 Ait: “Etiam”. Et cum intrasset domum, praevenit eum Iesus dicens: “ Quid tibividetur, Simon? Reges terrae a quibus accipiunt tributum vel censum? A filiissuis an ab alienis? ”.	25 'Yes,' he replied, and went into the house. But before he could speak, Jesus said, 'Simon, what isyour opinion? From whom do earthly kings take tol or tribute? From their sons or from foreigners?'
26 Cum autem ille dixisset: “ Ab alienis ”, dixitilli Iesus: “ Ergo liberi sunt filii.	26 And when he replied, 'From foreigners,' Jesus said, 'Well then, the sons are exempt.
27 Ut autem non scandalizemus eos, vadead mare et mitte hamum; et eum piscem, qui primus ascenderit, tolle; et, apertoore, eius invenies staterem. Illum sumens, da eis pro me et te ”.	27 However, so that we shal not be the downfal of others, go to the lake and cast a hook; take the firstfish that rises, open its mouth and there you wil find a shekel; take it and give it to them for me and for yourself.'
