Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Nog sprak Hij tot hen: Voorwaar, Ik zeg u: Daar zijn er onder de hier aanwezigen, die de dood niet zullen smaken, voordat ze het koninkrijk Gods hebben zien komen in kracht.
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
Zes dagen later nam Jesus Petrus, Jakobus en Johannes met zich mee, en bracht ze heel afzonderlijk op een hoge berg. En Hij werd voor hun ogen van gedaante veranderd.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
Zijn klederen werden blinkend en wit, zoals geen bleker op aarde ze wit kan maken.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Elias en Moses verschenen hun, en spraken met Jesus.
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
Toen nam Petrus het woord, en zei tot Jesus: Rabbi, het is ons goed, hier te zijn; laat ons drie tenten opslaan, één voor U, één voor Moses, en één voor Elias.
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
Hij wist niet goed wat hij zeide; want ze waren met schrik bevangen.
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Nu kwam er een wolk, die hen overschaduwde, en uit de wolk klonk een stem: Deze is mijn geliefde Zoon, luistert naar Hem!
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
Op hetzelfde ogenblik keken ze rond, maar zagen niemand meer bij zich dan Jesus alleen.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
En terwijl ze afdaalden van de berg, verbood Hij hun, aan iemand te vertellen wat ze hadden gezien, voordat de Mensenzoon van de doden was opgestaan.
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
Ze hielden zich aan dat woord. Toch vroegen ze onder elkander, wat het beduidde: op te staan van de doden.
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
Ze ondervroegen Hem dus: Waarom zeggen de farizeën en schriftgeleerden dan, dat eerst Elias komen moet?
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
Hij gaf hun ten antwoord: Zeker, Elias komt ook eerst, om alles te herstellen. Maar hoe staat er over den Mensenzoon geschreven? Dat Hij veel zal lijden en veracht zal worden.
En Ik zeg u: Elias is reeds gekomen; maar ze hebben met hem gedaan wat ze wilden, gelijk van hem geschreven staat.
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
Toen zij nu bij de andere leerlingen kwamen, zagen zij hen omringd van een talrijke schare, en van schriftgeleerden, die met hen twistten.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Zodra het volk Hem zag, liep het verbaasd naar Hem toe, om Hem te begroeten.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Hij vroeg hun: Waarom twist gij met hen?
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
Een uit de menigte antwoordde Hem: Meester, ik heb mijn zoon tot U gebracht, die van een stommen geest is bezeten.
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
Wanneer hij hem aangrijpt, dan werpt hij hem neer; dan schuimbekt hij, knarst met de tanden, en verstijft. Ik heb uw leerlingen verzocht, hem uit te drijven: maar ze konden het niet.
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
Hij antwoordde hun: O ongelovig geslacht, hoelang nog zal Ik bij u zijn, hoelang nog zal Ik u dulden? Brengt hem hier bij Mij!
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
Ze brachten hem. Zodra de geest Hem zag, deed hij den knaap de stuipen krijgen; hij viel op de grond, en wentelde zich schuimbekkend rond.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
Hij vroeg aan zijn vader: Hoe lang heeft hij dit al, dat hem dit overkomt? Deze zeide: Van kindsbeen af;
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
dikwijls werpt hij hem in het vuur of in het water om hem te doden. Ach, indien het U mogelijk is, help ons dan, uit medelijden met ons.
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
Jesus sprak tot hem: Hoe; indien het U mogelijk is? Alles is mogelijk voor hem die gelooft.
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Aanstonds riep de vader van den knaap onder tranen uit: Ik geloof; kom mijn ongeloof te hulp.
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
En daar Jesus zag, dat het volk tezamen liep, gebood Hij den onreinen geest, en zeide hem: Stomme en dove geest, Ik gebied u, ga van hem uit, en keer niet meer bij hem terug.
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
Schreeuwend en onder hevige stuiptrekkingen ging hij van hem uit; de knaap zag er uit als een lijk, zodat velen zeiden, dat hij gestorven was.
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Maar Jesus vatte hem bij de hand, en richtte hem op; en hij stond overeind.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
Toen Hij thuis was gekomen, vroegen zijn leerlingen Hem, terwijl zij alleen waren: Waarom konden wij hem niet uitdrijven?
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
Hij zei hun: Dit soort kan alleen met gebed worden uitgedreven.
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
Zij vertrokken vandaar, en reisden Galilea door. Maar Hij wilde niet, dat iemand het wist;
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
want Hij onderrichtte zijn leerlingen. Hij sprak tot hen: De Mensenzoon wordt overgeleverd in de handen der mensen; ze zullen Hem doden, maar na zijn dood zal Hij de derde dag verrijzen.
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Ze begrepen dit niet: toch durfden ze Hem niet ondervragen.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
Zij kwamen te Kafárnaum terug. En thuis gekomen, vroeg Hij hun: Waarover hebt gij onderweg gesproken?
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
Ze zwegen; want ze hadden onderweg met elkander getwist, wie de grootste zou zijn.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
Hij zette Zich neer, riep de twaalf, en sprak tot hen: Zo iemand de eerste wil zijn, dan moet hij de laatste van allen zijn, en de dienaar van allen.
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Nu nam Hij een kind, plaatste het in hun midden, omhelsde het, en zei hun:
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
Wie een van zulke kinderen opneemt in mijn Naam, hij neemt Mij op; en wie Mij opneemt, neemt Mij niet op, maar Hem die Mij gezonden heeft.
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
Johannes zeide tot Hem: Meester, we hebben iemand, die ons niet volgt, duivels zien uitdrijven in uw Naam; we hebben het hem verboden, omdat hij zich niet bij ons aansluit.
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
Maar Jesus sprak: Verbiedt het hem niet; want er is niemand, die een wonder verricht in mijn Naam, en onmiddellijk daarop Mij kan honen.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Wie niet tegen ons is, hij is voor ons.
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
En wie u een beker water te drinken geeft, juist omdat gij van Christus zijt, voorwaar Ik zeg u: Hij zal zijn loon niet missen.
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Wie ergernis geeft aan een van deze kleinen, die in Mij geloven, het ware hem beter, dat hem een zware molensteen om de hals werd gehangen, en hij zo in de zee werd geworpen.
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Zo uw hand u ergert, houw ze af. Het is beter, verminkt het Leven binnen te gaan, dan met twee handen naar de hel te gaan, naar het onuitblusbaar vuur, (Geenna g1067)
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
En zo uw voet u ergert, houw hem af. Het is beter, kreupel het Leven binnen te gaan, dan met beide voeten in de hel te worden geworpen, in het onuitblusbaar vuur, (Geenna g1067)
waar hun worm niet sterft, en het vuur niet gedoofd wordt.
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
En zo uw oog u ergert, ruk het uit. Het is beter met één enkel oog het koninkrijk Gods binnen te gaan, dan met twee ogen in de hel te worden geworpen, (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
waar hun worm niet sterft, en het vuur niet gedoofd wordt.
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
Allen moeten inderdaad met vuur worden gezouten.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
Het zout is goed: als echter het zout smakeloos wordt, waar zult gij het dan mee zouten? Behoudt het zout in u, en leeft in vrede onder elkander.
