Mark 9
1 And he was saying to them: Verily, say unto you—There, are, certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God, already come in 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 bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart, alone, —and he was transformed 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 brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to 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 unto them Elijah, with Moses, —and they were conversing with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus—Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here, —let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one;
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 he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.
for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, —This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto 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, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only.
and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves.
9 And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of Man, from among the dead should arise.
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, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.
and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
11 And they began to question him, saying—The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
12 And, he, said unto them—Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, 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 unto you—Elijah also, hath come, and they have done with him, whatsoever they pleased, —according as it is written regarding 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 unto the disciples, they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.
And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning with them,
15 And, straightway, all the multitude, seeing him, were greatly amazed, and, running near, began saluting him.
and immediately, all the multitude having seen Him, were amazed, and running near, were greeting Him.
16 And he questioned them—What are ye discussing with them?
And He questioned the scribes, “What do you dispute with them?”
17 And one out of the multitude answered him—Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
And one out of the multitude answering said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You, having a mute spirit;
18 and, wheresoever it seizeth him, it teareth him, and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out; —and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast it out, and they could not.
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 But, he, answering, saith—O faithless generation! how long, shall I be with you? how long, shall I bear with you? Bring him unto 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 unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him, —and, falling upon the ground, he 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 questioned his father—How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said—From childhood;
And He questioned his father, “How much time is it since this came to him?” And he said, “From childhood,
22 and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon 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 And, Jesus, said unto him—As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.
And Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe! All things are possible to the one that is believing”;
24 Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying—I have faith! help my, want, of faith.
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 a multitude is running together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto it—Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I, give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not, any more, enter 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, crying out, and greatly mangling him, it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that, the more part, were saying—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, grasping 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 gone into a house, his disciples, privately, were questioning him—Why, were, we, not able to 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 unto them—This kind, by nothing, can come out, save, by prayer.
And He said to them, “This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.”
30 And, from thence, going forth, they were journeying through Galilee, —and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;
And having gone forth there, they were passing through Galilee, and He did not wish that any may know,
31 for he was teaching his disciples and saying [unto them], The Son of Man, is to be delivered up, into the hands of men, and they will slay him, —and, being slain, after three days, will he arise.
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 were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.
but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question Him.
33 And they came into Capernaum. And, happening to be, in the house, he was questioning them—What, in the way, were ye discussing?
And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”
34 And they were silent; for, with one another, they had discussed in the way, who should be greatest.
And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;
35 And, taking a seat, he addressed the twelve, and saith unto them—If anyone willeth to be, first, he shall be, least of all, and, minister 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, taking a child, he set it in the midst of them, —and, folding it in his arms, said unto 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 Whosoever, unto, [one of] these children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto 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 unto him—Teacher! we saw someone, in thy name, casting out demons, —and we forbade him, because he was not following with 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—Do not forbid him! For, no one, is there, who shall do a work of power in my name, and have power, soon, to revile 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, whosoever is not, against, us, is, for, us;
for he who is not against us is for us;
41 For, whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water, in name that, Christ’s, ye are, Verily! I say unto you, in nowise, shall 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, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe, it is, seemly, for him, rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is 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 shall cause thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, maimed, to enter into life, rather than having, the two hands, to depart into the gehenna, into the fire that is not quenched; (Geenna g1067)
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 g1067)
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
45 And, if thy foot be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, to enter into life, lame, rather than having, the two feet, to be cast into the gehenna; (Geenna g1067)
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 g1067)
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
47 And, if thine eye be causing thee to stumble, thrust it out, —it is, seemly, for thee, one-eye, to enter into the kingdom of God, rather than having, two eyes, to be cast into gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
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 g1067)
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, everyone, with fire, shall be salted.
for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
50 Salt is, good: but, if, salt, become, saltless, wherewith will ye, prepare, it? Have, within yourselves, salt, and be at peace, one with 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.”
