📖 Latin Vulgate Text (Mt 17:1–9)

Et post dies sex assumpsit Jesus Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem fratrem ejus, et duxit illos in montem excelsum seorsum:

et transfiguratus est ante eos. Et resplenduit facies ejus sicut sol: vestimenta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix.

Et ecce apparuerunt illis Moyses et Elias cum eo loquentes.

Respondens autem Petrus dixit ad Jesum: Domine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciamus hic tria tabernacula, tibi unum, Moysi unum, et Eliae unum.

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.

Et audientes discipuli ceciderunt in faciem suam, et timuerunt valde.

Et accessit Jesus, et tetigit eos, dixitque eis: Surgite, et nolite timere.

Levantes autem oculos suos, neminem viderunt, nisi solum Jesum.

Et descendentibus illis de monte, praecepit eis Jesus, dicens: Nemini dixeritis visionem, donec Filius hominis a mortuis resurgat.

📖 English Translation (New Revised Standard Version — NRSV Bible, Matthew 17:1–9)

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves.

And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white.

Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said,

“This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!”

When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear.

But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.”

And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
