Mark 9
1 And he seide to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, that there ben summen stondynge here, whiche schulen not taste deth, til thei seen the rewme of God comynge in vertu.
And He said to them, “I tell you assuredly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God present with power.”
2 And aftir sixe daies Jhesus took Petre, and James, and Joon, and ledde hem bi hem silf aloone in to an hiy hille; and he was transfigurid bifor hem.
After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. Then He was transfigured in front of them;
3 And hise clothis weren maad ful schynynge and white as snow, whiche maner white clothis a fuller may not make on erthe.
His clothing became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
4 And Helie with Moises apperide to hem, and thei spaken with Jhesu.
And Elijah appeared to them, along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 And Petre answeride, and seide to Jhesu, Maister, it is good vs to be here; and make we here thre tabernaclis, oon to thee, oon to Moyses, and oon to Helie.
Well Peter reacted by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three shelters: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
6 For he wiste not what he schulde seie; for thei weren agaste bi drede.
(Because they were terrified, he didn't know what to say.)
7 And ther was maad a cloude overschadewynge hem; and a vois cam of the cloude, and seide, This is my moost derworth sone, here ye hym.
With that a cloud was covering them and a Voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the beloved. Listen to Him!”
8 And anoon thei bihelden aboute, and sayn no more ony man, but Jhesu oonli with hem.
And then, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 And whanne thei camen doun fro the hille, he comaundide hem, that thei schulden not telle to ony man tho thingis that thei hadden seen, but whanne mannus sone hath risun ayen fro deeth.
Now as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to recount to any one the things they had seen until the Son of the Man had risen from the dead.
10 And thei helden the word at hem silf, sekynge what this schulde be, whanne he hadde risun ayen fro deth.
So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
11 And thei axiden hym, and seiden, What thanne seien Farisees and scribis, for it bihoueth `Helie to come first.
And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 And he answeride, and seide to hem, Whanne Helie cometh, he schal first restore alle thingis; and as it is writun of mannus sone, that he suffre many thingis, and be dispisid.
So in answer He said to them: “Elijah indeed does come first, and restores all things; also how it is written concerning the Son of the Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt.
13 And Y seie to you, that Helie is comun, and thei diden to hym what euer thingis thei wolden, as it is writun of hym.
Still, I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has also come, and they did to him as they wished, as it is written about him.”
14 And he comynge to hise disciplis, saiy a greet cumpany aboute hem, and scribis disputynge with hem.
Upon coming to the disciples, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
15 And anoon al the puple seynge Jhesu, was astonyed, and thei dredden; and thei rennynge gretten hym.
Well as soon as the crowd saw Him they were excited and ran to greet Him.
16 And he axide hem, What disputen ye among you?
He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
17 And oon of the cumpany answerde, and seide, Mayster, Y haue brouyt to thee my sone, that hath a doumbe spirit; and where euer he takith hym,
In answer a man in the crowd said: “Teacher, I brought you my son, who has a mute spirit.
18 he hurtlith hym doun, and he fometh, and betith togidir with teeth, and wexith drye. And Y seide to thi disciplis, that thei schulden caste hym out, and thei myyten not.
And wherever it seizes him it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Indeed, I spoke to your disciples, that they might cast it out, but they could not.”
19 And he answeride to hem, and seide, A! thou generacioun out of bileue, hou longe schal Y be among you, hou longe schal Y suffre you? Brynge ye hym to me.
But He answered him by saying: “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I put up with you? Bring him to me!”
20 And thei brouyten hym. And whanne he had seyn him, anoon the spirit troublide him; and was throw doun to grounde, and walewide, and fomede.
So they brought him to Him. Upon seeing Him the spirit convulsed him, and falling to the ground he started wallowing, foaming at the mouth.
21 And he axide his fadir, Hou longe `is it, sith this `hath falle to hym? And he seide, Fro childhode;
Then He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said: “From childhood.
22 and ofte he hath put hym in to fier, and in to watir, to leese hym; but if thou maiste ony thing, helpe vs, and haue merci on vs.
Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 And Jhesus seide to hym, If thou maiste bileue, alle thingis ben possible to man that bileueth.
Jesus said to him, “It's ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes.”
24 And anoon the fadir of the child criede with teeris, and seide, Lord, Y bileue; Lord, helpe thou myn vnbileue.
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
25 And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn the puple rennynge togidere, he manasside the vnclene spirit, and seide to hym, Thou deef and doumbe spirit, Y comaunde thee, go out fro hym, and entre no more in to hym.
When Jesus saw that the crowd was running up, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I am commanding you, get out of him and never enter him again!”
26 And he criynge, and myche to breidynge him, wente out fro hym; and he was maad as deed, so that many seiden, that he was deed.
Then it yelled, convulsed him violently, and came out. Well he looked to be dead; so much so that many said, “He's dead.”
27 And Jhesus helde his hoond, and lifte hym vp; and he roos.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.
28 And whanne he hadde entrid in to an hous, hise disciplis axiden hym priueli, Whi myyten not we caste hym out?
Well upon His entering a house His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn't we cast it out?”
29 And he seide to hem, This kynde in no thing may go out, but in preier and fastyng.
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except prayer and fasting.”
30 And thei yeden fro thennus, and wente forth in to Galile; and thei wolden not, that ony man wiste.
Having gone out from there they were passing through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know;
31 And he tauyte hise disciplis, and seide to hem, For mannus sone schal be bitrayed in to the hondis of men, and thei schulen sle hym, and he slayn schal ryse ayen on the thridde day.
because He was teaching His disciples and saying to them, “The Son of the Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and once killed he will rise on the third day.”
32 And thei knewen not the word, and dredden to axe hym.
But they were not understanding this information, yet were afraid to ask Him.
33 And thei camen to Cafarnaum. And whanne thei weren in the hous, he axide hem, What tretiden ye in the weie?
Then He came to Capernaum; and once in the house He asked them, “What were you debating among yourselves on the road?”
34 And thei weren stille; for thei disputiden among hem in the weie, who of hem schulde be grettest.
But they kept silent, because on the road they had debated among themselves who was greater.
35 And he sat, and clepide the twelue, and seide to hem, If ony man wole be the firste among you, he schal be the laste of alle, and the mynyster of alle.
So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
36 And he took a child, and sette hym in the myddil of hem; and whanne he hadde biclippid hym, he seide to hem,
Then He took a child and stood him in their midst, and embracing him said to them,
37 Who euer resseyueth oon of such children in my name, he resseyueth me; and who euer resseyueth me, he resseyueth not me aloone, but hym that sente me.
“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not only me, but the One who sent me.”
38 Joon answeride to hym, and seide, Maister, we sayn oon castynge out feendis in thi name, which sueth not vs, and we han forbodun hym.
So John answered Him saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, one who doesn't follow us; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us.”
39 And Jhesus seide, Nyle ye forbede him; for ther is no man that doith vertu in my name, and may soone speke yuel of me.
But Jesus said: “Do not forbid him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me.
40 He that is not ayens vs, is for vs.
For he who is not against you is for you.
41 And who euer yyueth you a cuppe of coold water to drynke in my name, for ye ben of Crist, treuli Y seie to you, he schal not leese his mede.
Further, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, I tell you with certainty, he will by no means lose his reward.
42 And who euer schal sclaundre oon of these litle that bileuen in me, it were betere to hym that a mylne stoon `of assis were don aboute his necke, and he were cast in to the see.
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43 And if thin hoond sclaundre thee, kitte it awey; it is betere to thee to entre feble in to lijf, than haue two hondis, and go in to helle, in to fier that neuer schal be quenchid, (Geenna g1067)
Further, if your hand is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life maimed than having both hands to go away into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna g1067)
44 where the worm of hem dieth not, and the fier is not quenchid.
where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 And if thi foote sclaundre thee, kitte it of; it is betere to thee to entre crokid in to euerlastynge lijf, than haue twei feet, and be sent in to helle of fier, that neuer schal be quenchid, (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life lame than having both feet to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna g1067)
46 where the worme of hem dieth not, and the fier is not quenchid.
where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 That if thin iye sclaundre thee, cast it out; it is betere to thee to entre gogil iyed in to the reume of God, than haue twey iyen, and be sent in to helle of fier, where the worme of hem dieth not, (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye is causing you to fall, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than having both eyes to be thrown into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna g1067)
48 and the fier is not quenchid.
where ‘the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 And euery man schal be saltid with fier, and euery slayn sacrifice schal be maad sauery with salt.
“Further, everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50 Salt is good; if salt be vnsauery, in what thing schulen ye make it sauery? Haue ye salt among you, and haue ye pees among you.
Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
