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!”
Hei afiꞌ liliꞌ Au oꞌola ngga ia. Hambu mia basa hei ia ra, ruma nda feꞌe mate sa, dei fo rita Lamatualain parenda no koasa monae na.
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.
Basa fai nee boe, Yesus noꞌe Petrus, Yakobis, ma Yohanis, de hene risiꞌ mbuku naruꞌ sa atahori nese na. Losa ata ma, rita Yesus dadꞌi laen.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
Eni badꞌu na dadꞌi muti makahahadꞌo. Sia raefafoꞌ ia nda hambu saa fo mutiꞌ lenaꞌ Eni badꞌu na sa.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Aiboiꞌ ma, rita Yesus ola-olaꞌ no Baꞌi Elia ma Baꞌi Musa.
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!”
Petrus se ramatau rae mate. Petrus o bingun, losa ana olaꞌ leli. Nafadꞌe Yesus nae, “Papa! Hita maloleꞌ sia ia, e! Dadꞌi malole lenaꞌ hita tao lalaꞌ telu. Fee esa neu Papa, esa neu Baꞌi Musa, ma esa neu Baꞌi Elia.”
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!”
Basa naa ma, leleeꞌ a onda nema, de tatana nala se. Boe ma rena haraꞌ mia leleeꞌ a nae, “Rena! Yesus ia, Au Ana susue ngga. Hei rena matalolole neu E!”
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.
Petrus se rena haraꞌ na, ara mete rereoꞌ te nda rita atahori laen sa, akaꞌ a Yesus mesaꞌ ne.
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.”
Basa naa, Yesus no mana tungga nara onda mia leteꞌ naa. Yesus ai se nae, “Saa fo hei feꞌe mita faꞌ ra, hei afiꞌ mifadꞌe atahori esa boe. Au ia, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Atahori Matetuꞌ a. Au musi mate dei. Basa fo, Au usodꞌa baliꞌ, dei fo hei bole mifadꞌe atahori ra.”
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.
Ara toꞌu rahereꞌ Yesus hehelu-fufuli na, de nda rafadꞌe atahori sa. Te teluꞌ se, esa natane esa rae, “Eni dudꞌuꞌa na saa, losa nae Eni nasodꞌa baliꞌ mia mamate na? Taꞌo bee, e?”
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?]”
Boe ma, ratane E rae, “Meser agama ra rae ‘Baꞌi Elia musi nema dei, dei fo Kristus nema.’ Te tungga Papa, naa taꞌo bee?”
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}.”
Yesus nataa nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe. Baꞌi Elia musi nema dei, fo soi dalaꞌ fee neu Kristus, atahori fo Lamatualain dudu basa mia dalahulu naa neu. Te taꞌo bee? Hei nda feꞌe mihine saa fo ara suraꞌ sia Lamatualain susura na soaꞌ neu Atahori Matetuꞌ naa? Ara suraꞌ memaꞌ, rae mete ma Eni nema ena, atahori raꞌasususaꞌ E, losa tao risa E.
Hei musi pasa ndiki mara matalole! Baꞌi Elia naa memaꞌ nema ena. Ma atahori raꞌasususaꞌ e, tungga sira hihii na. Naa o nandaa no saa fo baꞌi-baꞌi ra suraꞌ hela memaꞌ mia doo na neu.”
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.
Yesus no mana tungga katelu nara, randaa baliꞌ ro mana tungga laen nara, ma rita atahori naeꞌ raꞌabꞌubꞌue. Ara rema rita Yesus mana tungga laen nara rareresi ro meser agama ra.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Atahori naeꞌ naa ra mete-rita Yesus, ara nggengger, te rae Ana feꞌe sia leteꞌ ata. De ara relaꞌ reu randaa ro E.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Yesus natane mbali se nae, “Hei mireresi saa sia ia?”
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.
Te atahori esa nema nae, “Papa, rena dei! Au o ana tou ngga. Ana nabobꞌeꞌ nda ola-olaꞌ nala sa, huu nitu a tao e. Au oꞌe Papa naꞌahahaiꞌ e dei.
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.”
Mete ma nitu a masoꞌ e, ana mbembesiꞌ ao na neu rae a. Boe ma bafa na lua fufureꞌ, ma ale nisi na. Boe ma ao na o baraꞌai onaꞌ hau a. Au oꞌe Papa mana tungga nara, fo oi hendi nitu a. Te ara nda bisa saa-saa sa bee.”
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!”
Rena taꞌo naa, Yesus bua se nae, “He! Hei seli tebꞌe! Au unori hei bali-baliꞌ, onaꞌ o hei nda mihine sa. Ma nda mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Au sa! Au musi fee tembo neu hei losa bee fai! Mendi anaꞌ naa nisiꞌ ia!”
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.
De oꞌo rendi e nisiꞌ Yesus. Nitu a mete-nita Yesus, boe ma ana mbesiꞌ hendi anaꞌ a losa naꞌaloli lololir neu rae a ma bafa na nafufure.
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.
Basa boe ma, Yesus natane anaꞌ a papa na nae, “Ho ana ma dadꞌi taꞌo ia mia leleꞌ bee?” Papa na nataa nae, “Mia ana diki na.”
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!”
Nitu a nae nisa e doo ena. Ana tao hendi ana ngga ia bali-baliꞌ ai rala neu, ma naꞌatetenaꞌ e oe rala neu boe. De Papa tulun dei! Mete ma bisa, Papa sue hai na, muꞌuhahaiꞌ e dei.”
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]!”
Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee de ho mae ‘mete ma bisa’? Au memaꞌ bisa tao basa-bꞌasaꞌ e, sadꞌi atahori ramahere dei!”
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!”
Basa boe ma, tou lasiꞌ a nataa no naeꞌ a nggaee oi, “Papa! Memaꞌ au umuhere ena. De tulun au fo nemehere ngga boe tamba manggate!”
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!”
Leleꞌ naa, Yesus nita atahori naeꞌ rema rakaseseti sia naa. Boe ma Ana parenda nitu a nae, “He! Nitu deꞌulaka! Lao hela ana ia leo fo ana rena, ma ola-olaꞌ nalaꞌ. Ho afiꞌ masoꞌ seluꞌ misiꞌ e fai!”
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!”
Rena Yesus olaꞌ naꞌo naa boe, nitu a nggasi nahereꞌ. Ana tao anaꞌ naa naꞌaloli ndundulea dei, de ana lao hela e. Boe ma anaꞌ naa onaꞌ a mates e. De atahori mana sa naa ra rae, “Naa, maten!”
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Te Yesus toꞌu nala anaꞌ lima na, de nafefela e. Boe ma ana fela neuꞌ ena.
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]?”
Basa naa, de Yesus no mana tungga nara lao hela mamanaꞌ naa, de risiꞌ ume sa rala. Sia naa ratane Yesus rae, “Papa! Taꞌo bee de hai nda bisa oi nitu naa sa?”
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.”
Yesus nafadꞌe se nae, “Rena matalolole! Nitu ra memaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ. De mete ma hei nda hule-oꞌe moꞌe tulun neu Lamatualain sa, hei nda bisa oi nitu onaꞌ naa sa.”
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
Basa ma Yesus no mana tungga nara lao hela mamanaꞌ naa, de risiꞌ propinsi Galilea. Leleꞌ naa, Yesus nda nau atahori rahine Eni sia naa sa,
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!”
huu Ana nae nanori a mana tungga nara. Ana nafadꞌe se nae, “Nda doo saꞌ te, ara seo hendi Au neu atahori feaꞌ. Dei fo ara risa Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia. Memaꞌ Au mate, te finiesa na, Au usodꞌa baliꞌ.”
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Yesus nafadꞌe naꞌo naa, ma mana tungga nara bingun. Te ara nda rambarani ratane seluꞌ Yesus oꞌola na sosoa na sa.
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?”
Basa naa ma, Yesus se laoꞌ losa Kapernaum. Ara risiꞌ ume rala, boe ma Yesus natane se nae, “Faꞌra hei mireresi saa mia dalaꞌ?”
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].
Te huu, nda hambu esa nambarani nataa sa bee, te mia dalaꞌ taladꞌan ara rasimbo bafaꞌ rae seka monaeꞌ sia basa-bꞌasa sira.
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].”
Basa ma Yesus endoꞌ de nanori se nae, “Seka nae dadꞌi atahori monaeꞌ, eni masodꞌaꞌ na musi onaꞌ a ate fo tulu-fali basa atahori.
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Basa boe ma, Yesus oꞌo nala ana dikiꞌ esa mia naa, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ taladꞌa nara. Ana olaꞌ nae,
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.”
‘Seka tungga Au fo simbo atahori anadikiꞌ onaꞌ anaꞌ ia, naa sosoa na eni simbo Au ena. Ana o simbo Au Papa ngga mana denu Au isiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia.”
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].”
Basa naa boe, Yesus mana tungga na Yohanis, kalaak nae, “Papa! Lao esa, hai mita atahori sa pake Papa nara na oi nitu. Te hai miꞌinggee e, huu eni nda hita atahori na sa.”
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].
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “He! Afiꞌ miꞌinggee e. Te seka pake Au nara ngga fo tao mana dadꞌi, eni nda olaꞌ tao Au nara ngga maꞌafoo sa.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Mete ma eni nda labꞌan hita sa, sosoa na, eni o hita atahori na boe.
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]!”
Misinedꞌa matalolole o! Mete ma hambu atahori rahine rae hei tungga Kristus, boe ma ana tulun hei, Lamatualain nda liliꞌ atahori naa bebengge na sa. Mae ana fee akaꞌ a oe mutiꞌ nggalas esa o, Lamatualain nda liliꞌ e sa.”
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].
Basa boe ma, Yesus nafadꞌe seluꞌ se nae, “Mete ma atahori sa kokoe ana dikiꞌ esa fo tungga dala masalaꞌ losa anaꞌ naa nda namahere Au sa na, besa-bꞌesa o! Malole lenaꞌ atahori naa haꞌi nala fatu monaeꞌ esa, paꞌa neu lesu ai na, ma naꞌatetenaꞌ ao na nisiꞌ tasiꞌ a taladꞌa na.
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)
Mete ma ho tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ lima ma na, tati hendiꞌ e! Malole lenaꞌ sorga muu mendiꞌ lima seseriꞌ a. Afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka mo lima ma ruꞌa se. (Geenna g1067)
[Naraka naa, memaꞌ mamana doidꞌosoꞌ. Ai a nda mate sa, no ula-ula sia naa ra nda hahae tao maꞌafooꞌ sa.]
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)
Mete ma ho tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ ei ma na, tati hendi e. Malole lenaꞌ sorga muu mendiꞌ ei seseriꞌ. Afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka mo ei ma ruꞌa se. (Geenna g1067)
[Naraka naa, memaꞌ mamana doidꞌosoꞌ. Ai a nda mate sa, no ula-ula sia naa ra nda hahae tao maꞌafooꞌ sa.]
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)
Mete ma ho tao salaꞌ mendi mata ma na, edꞌo nggari hendi e! Malole lenaꞌ sorga muu mendi mata seseriꞌ. Afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka mo mata ma ruꞌa se. (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
‘Naraka naa, memaꞌ mamana doidꞌosoꞌ. Ai a nda mate sa, no ula-ula sia naa ra nda hahae tao maꞌafooꞌ sa.’
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].
Au nanori ngga ia, memaꞌ bera na seli. De seka nae tungga Au, musi naꞌatataaꞌ tungga nakandoo, onaꞌ sisi fo atahori tao masiꞌ, de pangga neu ai, fo sisi naa naꞌatataa dooꞌ.
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.”
Masiꞌ a mafeliꞌ. Hita pake fo tao nanaat a maladꞌaꞌ. Te mete ma masiꞌa nda masi sa na, eni soaꞌ neu saa fai? Hita nggari hendiꞌ e. Hei o musi dadꞌi onaꞌ masiꞌ, fo misodꞌa sue-lai mo basa atahori. De hei musi miloeꞌ mireresi seka monaeꞌ ma seka anadikiꞌ!”
