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!”

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.

3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.

4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Avɨz Elaijav Mosesmen ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨz, Jisasɨnd sezɨr hamb wamŋgɨz mbɨ Jisasmen ya kah ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar.
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!”
Mach, sezɨr undɨmapam han we ezandɨkŋahambi ntahoror ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz Pitav ya hanave kah han mɨwam. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨh mbanave kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, arɨ mban ñɨrɨŋ han imbɨrun amar. Arɨ imbɨr oram oram undɨmapam asɨmɨrɨŋ amar. Emŋga amakɨr emŋga Mosesɨnd emŋga Elaijand amar.
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.
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!”
Mach, yambaka emŋga hamb ahevakare rapɨr han asɨramamar. Avɨz ya emŋga hamb yambaka mbanand uncha haŋ mbanave kamar. Mban ihɨnd nor, nzɨ ndɨndɨvon rin amar. Amɨ mbɨkɨr ya njɨhambar amar.
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.
Ave pams haŋon Jisasɨnd sezɨr hamb enarorɨŋge ovɨherɨmŋgɨmar. Kɨrɨm mbɨ wɨram emŋgaŋg mɨwamŋgɨm. Jisasɨv mbon ikumun ndɨŋmen ñɨmar.
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.”
Mach, mbɨ aparɨma han erere ŋketaimŋgɨmar. Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ erokare kamar. Hanɨhan mban wamŋgɨn han wɨram emŋga kamŋgɨmɨn wem Wɨramɨnd Nor hamb me ekwaŋg mɨnsaŋ ŋaiahandari amar.
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.
Az mbɨ ya han mbɨndɨŋ mpɨ unchaŋ hɨrañɨmŋgɨmar. Ave mbon mbon mbanave kamŋgɨmar. Ya mban mbɨ me mɨnsaŋ ekwaŋg ŋaiahandari han, han utɨman arɨmŋgɨmar.
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?]”
Ave Jisasɨh mbanave kamŋgɨmar. Utɨndɨv wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hamb mbanave kamŋganj amar. Elaijav mboz aiz arar kamŋganj arɨmŋgɨmar.
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}.”
Az Jisasɨv mbɨndɨŋ ya enore mbanave kamar. Ya mban mɨŋun amar. Elaijav mboz ai hanɨhan ekwaŋg mɨŋam omanenta sɨndari amar. Kɨrɨm yaya Yakŋ Ohɨrand anɨŋzɨŋ entaŋ ñi han nzɨhanave ñɨz, Wɨramɨnd Nor hamb pɨrɨvɨr ohɨra kɨvah ŋaz, wɨram hamb ndɨn ŋambiŋgwi kɨvah sɨndɨramŋgi amar.

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.
Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨr undɨmapamen ai sezɨr emŋgemŋgaŋ ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨmar. Ahevɨkɨrore wamŋgɨz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ndɨŋ ondɨhore ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Ave wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hamb ndɨŋmen amɨherɨmŋgɨmar.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mbanamb wamŋgɨz Jisasɨv aimar. Mbɨ aiz pams haŋon ntamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ nte ndɨn pɨŋ aŋɨraŋɨr we, ndɨn rapɨrɨnt eŋgwamŋgɨmar.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbanave amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv ndɨŋmen ya amɨherɨmŋgɨn amar.
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.
Avɨz wɨram emŋga hamb wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋɨnd uhɨmɨŋ ñɨmar hamb mbɨ Jisasɨh ya mbanave kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, itɨ kɨvah hamb ihɨnd norɨnd karupɨr aŋkwinchi ndɨnɨŋ ñɨñmbɨri amar. Handɨv nzɨ ndɨn nan pɨŋ hɨraiin amar.
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.”
Itɨ kɨvah mbanamb ndɨnɨh hanaveon aŋkarɨpɨr kɨvah ŋaj avav ndɨn ŋaŋaŋ isaŋ avɨzɨŋgaj amar. Avɨzand karempa hamb karupɨr mbɨkɨrɨŋ ahevakarɨj avav mbɨ mbɨkɨr ampar ivɨharar kaj amar.

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!”
Jisasɨv ya mban njɨhame, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han kamar. Eee, amɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr mɨnjɨhamŋgɨm amar. Nzɨ andɨŋmen yuŋk war nzɨhanave mbahon ñɨndarin amar. Nzɨ yuŋk war nzɨhanave amandɨŋ kɨr akŋɨndarin amar. Amɨ nor kehan yan pɨŋ mbanaŋ hɨraivar amar.
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.
Mach, mbɨ nor kehan ndɨn pɨŋ hɨraimŋgɨmar. Avɨz itɨ kɨvah hamb Jisasɨh we, pams haŋon nor kehan sɨz itɨkɨrɨmun nte arazɨpazawɨmar. Ave nor mbanamb isaŋ aŋkɨrame enarambarɨmar. Karempa hambez karupɨr mbɨkɨrɨŋ ahevakarɨmar.
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.
Avɨz Jisasɨv wanɨrɨh mbanave amarɨmar. Mbɨkɨr mahoror kɨvah hamb yuŋk nzɨhanave ñi amar. Az wanɨrɨv kamar. Mbɨ sai aŋkwɨron ñɨzand ahevakarɨmar amar.
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!”
Itɨ kɨvah mbanamb hanaveon ŋaŋaŋ pɨrɨtɨm insɨŋ yambɨŋ avɨzɨŋganj avav ndɨn mamta orɨŋɨn arar ranj amar. Amɨ imbɨr ramɨn amar. Amɨ arɨŋ akŋɨn ñi arɨŋ hɨrawɨv amar.
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]!”
Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨnɨh kamar. Utɨndɨv mbanave kan, amɨ imbɨr ramɨn arar kan amar. Kɨrɨm amɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhame hanɨhan upi mban mɨŋamun imbɨr ramɨn amar.
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!”
Az pams haŋon wanɨrɨv aware kamar. Nzɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhamin amar. Kɨrɨm njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ihɨnd han tɨm nor amar. Amɨ yan hɨrawɨv amar.
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!”
Mach, Jisasɨv waz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ ohɨron mbanamb aŋɨrɨmbɨrɨmbɨr ndɨŋ pɨŋ ikwɨm aimŋgɨmar. Az mbɨ itɨ kɨvah han ya aŋkarɨpɨr ke kamar. Nzɨ nan aŋkarɨpɨr kin amar. Nan itɨ kɨvah karupɨr aminjinjɨnd, njemɨn inchɨrɨmbɨmbɨnd, amɨ nor mbanan erere etov amar. Ave ekwaŋg ndɨn unchaŋ ŋgwevomɨn amar.
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!”
Avɨz itɨ kɨvah mbanamb kwa hɨrɨzɨnd awarɨmar. Mbɨ raz nor mbanamb nte asu asai razand ndɨn erere etomar. Avɨz nor mbanamb me ñɨwamar. Az osa anchɨ hamb we kamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ ndɨh mi arɨmŋgɨmar.
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Kɨrɨm Jisasɨv omanaka mbɨkɨr han ŋe ndɨn ŋambiahaz aŋkwañɨmar.
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]?”
Mach, Jisasɨv we oramɨŋ ahevohe mbɨkɨr sezɨrmen mbon ikumun ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ ndɨn amarɨmŋgɨmar. Arɨ utɨndɨv itɨ kɨvah mban kiaŋgwɨ mah rarɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar.
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.”
Avɨz ndɨŋ kamar. Arɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrah ahaz orɨmah re, itɨ kɨvah kehand han mɨkiaŋgwɨndɨram amar.
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

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!”
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Avɨz mbɨ ya mbanand ondo han mɨwamŋgɨrɨm. Handɨv mbɨ ndɨn amarɨŋɨn arar ezandɨkŋɨmŋgɨmar.
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?”
Mach ave, Jisasɨv mbɨ sezɨrmen aiampɨra Kaperneamɨŋ omŋgɨmar. Ave sezɨrɨv mbon mbon empasamɨŋ yaŋam amɨherɨmŋgɨmar. Uñɨman wɨram arɨŋɨnd anɨŋnsar mɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar.

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].
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].”

36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Ave Jisasɨv nor emŋga han ŋe uhɨmɨŋun ŋgame ŋambiahe eŋkwarɨmbɨñɨmar. Ave ndɨŋ kamar.
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.”

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].”
Mach, Jonɨmb Jisasɨh kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, arɨ warɨŋand wɨram emŋga hamb itɨ kɨvah akŋ han amakɨr ensaŋ kiaŋgworaŋgwɨr amar. Kɨrɨm ndɨn wɨram arɨŋɨnd mah amar. Handɨv arɨ ndɨnɨh chonj ŋgamɨrɨŋ amar.
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].

40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.

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]!”

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].

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)

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)
