Mark 9
1 Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth: some standing here won't die before they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”
And he seide to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, that there ben summen stondynge here, whiche schulen not taste deth, til thei seen the rewme of God comynge in vertu.
2 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and led them up a high mountain to be by themselves. His appearance totally changed.
And aftir sixe daies Jhesus took Petre, and James, and Joon, and ledde hem bi hem silf aloone in to an hiy hille; and he was transfigurid bifor hem.
3 His clothes shone a brilliant white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them.
And hise clothis weren maad ful schynynge and white as snow, whiche maner white clothis a fuller may not make on erthe.
4 Then Elijah and Moses appeared in front of them as well, talking with Jesus.
And Helie with Moises apperide to hem, and thei spaken with Jhesu.
5 Peter spoke up and said, “Rabbi, it's great for us to be here! We should make three shelters—one each for you, Moses, and Elijah.”
And Petre answeride, and seide to Jhesu, Maister, it is good vs to be here; and make we here thre tabernaclis, oon to thee, oon to Moyses, and oon to Helie.
6 (He really didn't know what to say because they were all so frightened!)
For he wiste not what he schulde seie; for thei weren agaste bi drede.
7 Then a cloud covered them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one I love. Listen to him.”
And ther was maad a cloude overschadewynge hem; and a vois cam of the cloude, and seide, This is my moost derworth sone, here ye hym.
8 Then, all of a sudden, as they were watching, there was nobody. Only Jesus was with them.
And anoon thei bihelden aboute, and sayn no more ony man, but Jhesu oonli with hem.
9 As they came down the mountain Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone what they'd seen until the Son of man had risen from the dead.
And whanne thei camen doun fro the hille, he comaundide hem, that thei schulden not telle to ony man tho thingis that thei hadden seen, but whanne mannus sone hath risun ayen fro deeth.
10 They kept this to themselves, but they did argue with each other over what it meant to rise from the dead.
And thei helden the word at hem silf, sekynge what this schulde be, whanne he hadde risun ayen fro deth.
11 “Why do the religious teachers state that Elijah has to come first?” they asked him.
And thei axiden hym, and seiden, What thanne seien Farisees and scribis, for it bihoueth `Helie to come first.
12 “It's true that Elijah comes first to prepare everything,” Jesus replied. “But why then does it say in Scripture that the Son of man has to suffer so much and be treated with contempt?
And he answeride, and seide to hem, Whanne Helie cometh, he schal first restore alle thingis; and as it is writun of mannus sone, that he suffre many thingis, and be dispisid.
13 However, I tell you that Elijah has come, and they abused him in whatever way they wanted, just as Scripture said they would.”
And Y seie to you, that Helie is comun, and thei diden to hym what euer thingis thei wolden, as it is writun of hym.
14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw them surrounded by a large crowd and some religious teachers arguing with them.
And he comynge to hise disciplis, saiy a greet cumpany aboute hem, and scribis disputynge with hem.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus they were in total awe, and ran to greet him.
And anoon al the puple seynge Jhesu, was astonyed, and thei dredden; and thei rennynge gretten hym.
16 “What are you arguing with them about?” Jesus asked them.
And he axide hem, What disputen ye among you?
17 One of the people in the crowd answered, “Rabbi, I brought my son to you. He has an evil spirit that prevents him speaking.
And oon of the cumpany answerde, and seide, Mayster, Y haue brouyt to thee my sone, that hath a doumbe spirit; and where euer he takith hym,
18 Whenever he has a seizure it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they couldn't do it.”
he hurtlith hym doun, and he fometh, and betith togidir with teeth, and wexith drye. And Y seide to thi disciplis, that thei schulden caste hym out, and thei myyten not.
19 “You unbelieving people!” Jesus responded. “How long must I remain here with you? How long do I have to put up with you? Bring him over here to me!”
And he answeride to hem, and seide, A! thou generacioun out of bileue, hou longe schal Y be among you, hou longe schal Y suffre you? Brynge ye hym to me.
20 So they brought him to Jesus. When the evil spirit saw Jesus it immediately sent the boy into convulsions and threw him on the ground, where he rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
And thei brouyten hym. And whanne he had seyn him, anoon the spirit troublide him; and was throw doun to grounde, and walewide, and fomede.
21 “How long has he had this?” Jesus asked the boy's father. “Since he was small,” the father replied.
And he axide his fadir, Hou longe `is it, sith this `hath falle to hym? And he seide, Fro childhode;
22 “Often it throws him into the fire to burn him to death, or throws him into water to drown him. Please have mercy on us and help, if you can.”
and ofte he hath put hym in to fier, and in to watir, to leese hym; but if thou maiste ony thing, helpe vs, and haue merci on vs.
23 “Why do you say, ‘if you can?’” replied Jesus. “Whoever trusts has every power!”
And Jhesus seide to hym, If thou maiste bileue, alle thingis ben possible to man that bileueth.
24 “I do trust in you,” the man shouted out right away. “Help me not to distrust you.”
And anoon the fadir of the child criede with teeris, and seide, Lord, Y bileue; Lord, helpe thou myn vnbileue.
25 Jesus, seeing that the crowd was closing in, commanded the evil spirit, “Spirit that causes deafness and dumbness, I order you to come out of him and never return.”
And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn the puple rennynge togidere, he manasside the vnclene spirit, and seide to hym, Thou deef and doumbe spirit, Y comaunde thee, go out fro hym, and entre no more in to hym.
26 The spirit screamed and threw the boy into severe convulsions. Then the spirit came out of the boy and left him for dead—to the extent that many of the people said, “He's dead.”
And he criynge, and myche to breidynge him, wente out fro hym; and he was maad as deed, so that many seiden, that he was deed.
27 But Jesus took the boy by the hand and helped him up, and he got to his feet.
And Jhesus helde his hoond, and lifte hym vp; and he roos.
28 Later, when Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him in private, “Why couldn't we drive the evil spirit out?”
And whanne he hadde entrid in to an hous, hise disciplis axiden hym priueli, Whi myyten not we caste hym out?
29 “This kind can't be driven out except by prayer,” Jesus told them.
And he seide to hem, This kynde in no thing may go out, but in preier and fastyng.
30 They left and passed through Galilee. Jesus didn't want anyone to know where he was
And thei yeden fro thennus, and wente forth in to Galile; and thei wolden not, that ony man wiste.
31 because he was teaching his disciples. “The Son of man will be betrayed to human authorities,” he told them. “They will kill him, but three days later he will rise again.”
And he tauyte hise disciplis, and seide to hem, For mannus sone schal be bitrayed in to the hondis of men, and thei schulen sle hym, and he slayn schal ryse ayen on the thridde day.
32 They didn't understand what he meant and were too afraid to ask him about it.
And thei knewen not the word, and dredden to axe hym.
33 They arrived at Capernaum, and once they were inside the house where they were staying, Jesus asked them, “What were you talking about on the way?”
And thei camen to Cafarnaum. And whanne thei weren in the hous, he axide hem, What tretiden ye in the weie?
34 But they didn't say anything because they had been arguing over who was the most important.
And thei weren stille; for thei disputiden among hem in the weie, who of hem schulde be grettest.
35 Jesus sat down and called the twelve disciples together. “If anyone wants to be first, he has to be the very last, the servant of everyone else,” he told them.
And he sat, and clepide the twelue, and seide to hem, If ony man wole be the firste among you, he schal be the laste of alle, and the mynyster of alle.
36 He took a small child and had the child stand right in the middle of them. Then he picked up and hugged the child, and told them,
And he took a child, and sette hym in the myddil of hem; and whanne he hadde biclippid hym, he seide to hem,
37 “Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me doesn't welcome me but the one who sent me.”
Who euer resseyueth oon of such children in my name, he resseyueth me; and who euer resseyueth me, he resseyueth not me aloone, but hym that sente me.
38 John said to Jesus, “Rabbi, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
Joon answeride to hym, and seide, Maister, we sayn oon castynge out feendis in thi name, which sueth not vs, and we han forbodun hym.
39 “Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who is doing miracles in my name can curse me at the same time.
And Jhesus seide, Nyle ye forbede him; for ther is no man that doith vertu in my name, and may soone speke yuel of me.
40 Anyone who is not against us is for us.
He that is not ayens vs, is for vs.
41 Anyone who gives a cup of water to you in my name, because you belong to Christ, won't lose their reward, believe me.
And who euer yyueth you a cuppe of coold water to drynke in my name, for ye ben of Crist, treuli Y seie to you, he schal not leese his mede.
42 But if anyone leads one of these little ones who trust in me into sin, it would be better for them if they were thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around their neck.
And who euer schal sclaundre oon of these litle that bileuen in me, it were betere to hym that a mylne stoon `of assis were don aboute his necke, and he were cast in to the see.
43 If your hand leads you to sin, cut it off! It's better to enter eternal life as a cripple than to go with both hands into Gehenna, into the fire that can't be put out. (Geenna g1067)
And if thin hoond sclaundre thee, kitte it awey; it is betere to thee to entre feble in to lijf, than haue two hondis, and go in to helle, in to fier that neuer schal be quenchid, (Geenna g1067)
where the worm of hem dieth not, and the fier is not quenchid.
45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It's better to enter eternal life lame than to be thrown into Gehenna still having two feet. (Geenna g1067)
And if thi foote sclaundre thee, kitte it of; it is betere to thee to entre crokid in to euerlastynge lijf, than haue twei feet, and be sent in to helle of fier, that neuer schal be quenchid, (Geenna g1067)
where the worme of hem dieth not, and the fier is not quenchid.
47 If your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out! It's better to enter the kingdom of God with just one eye than to be thrown into Gehenna still having both eyes, (Geenna g1067)
That if thin iye sclaundre thee, cast it out; it is betere to thee to entre gogil iyed in to the reume of God, than haue twey iyen, and be sent in to helle of fier, where the worme of hem dieth not, (Geenna g1067)
48 where the worm doesn't die and the fire never goes out.
and the fier is not quenchid.
49 Everybody will be ‘salted’ by fire.
And euery man schal be saltid with fier, and euery slayn sacrifice schal be maad sauery with salt.
50 Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, how could you make it salty again? You need to be like salt, and live in peace with one another.”
Salt is good; if salt be vnsauery, in what thing schulen ye make it sauery? Haue ye salt among you, and haue ye pees among you.
