< Mark 9 >
1 And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen that the kingdom of God hath come with power.
And He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God having come in power.”
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves, alone, and He was transfigured before them,
3 And his garments became glistening, very white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.
and His garments became glittering, exceedingly white, as snow, so as a launderer on the earth is not able to whiten [them].
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answering saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
And Peter answering says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters, for You one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one”:
6 For he knew not what to answer; for they were struck with terror.
for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.
And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, hear Him”;
8 And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.
and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them to give no account of what they had seen to any one, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.
And as they are coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;
10 And they kept these words in mind, questioning one another what rising from the dead might mean.
and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
11 And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?
And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
12 And he said to them, Elijah cometh first, and restoreth all things. And how hath it been written of the Son of man? that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
And He answering said to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written concerning the Son of Man, that He may suffer many things, and be set at nothing?
13 But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.
But I say to you that also Elijah has come, and they did to him what they willed, as it has been written of him.”
14 And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.
And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning with them,
15 And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.
and immediately, all the multitude having seen Him, were amazed, and running near, were greeting Him.
16 And he asked them, About what are ye debating with them?
And He questioned the scribes, “What do you dispute with them?”
17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.
And one out of the multitude answering said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You, having a mute spirit;
18 And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.
and wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away; and I spoke to Your disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.”
19 He answereth and saith to them, O unbelieving generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.
And He answering him, said, “O generation unbelieving, until when will I be with you? Until when will I suffer you? Bring him to Me”;
20 And they brought him to him. And as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.
and they brought him to Him, and he having seen Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he, having fallen on the earth, was wallowing—foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long hath it been thus with him? And he said, From a child;
And He questioned his father, “How much time is it since this came to him?” And he said, “From childhood,
22 and it hath often cast him both into fire, and into water, to destroy him; but if thou art able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
and many times it also cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if You are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.”
23 Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.
And Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe! All things are possible to the one that is believing”;
24 The father of the child immediately cried out and said, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
and immediately the father of the child, having cried out with tears, said, “I believe, Lord; be helping my unbelief.”
25 And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
Jesus having seen that a multitude runs together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Spirit—mute and deaf—I charge you, come forth out of him, and you may no longer enter into him”;
26 And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.
and having cried, and convulsed him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
27 But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
28 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
And He having come into the house, His disciples were questioning Him by Himself, “Why were we not able to cast it forth?”
29 And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer.
And He said to them, “This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.”
30 And departing thence, they passed through Galilee; and he would not that any one should know it.
And having gone forth there, they were passing through Galilee, and He did not wish that any may know,
31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.
for He was teaching His disciples, and He said to them, “The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and having been killed, the third day He will rise,”
32 But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.
but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question Him.
33 And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?
And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”
34 But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.
And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;
35 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any one desire to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all.
and having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister of all.”
36 And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
And having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, said to them,
37 Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
“Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
38 John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.
And John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in Your Name, who does not follow us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.
And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to speak evil of Me:
40 For he that is not against us is for us.
for he who is not against us is for us;
41 For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, truly do I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in My Name, because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you, he may not lose his reward;
42 And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe to fall away, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea.
and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand cause thee to fall away, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable. (Geenna )
And if your hand may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands, to go away into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna )
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
45 And if thy foot is causing thee to fall away, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna )
And if your foot may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna )
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
47 And if thine eye is causing thee to fall away, pluck it out; it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna )
And if your eye may cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God one-eyed, than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna )
48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
49 For every one will be salted with fire.
for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good; but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will you season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.”
