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.
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come 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 with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form 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 glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 And Helie with Moises apperide to hem, and thei spaken with Jhesu.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking 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.
Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: 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.
For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
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.
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 And anoon thei bihelden aboute, and sayn no more ony man, but Jhesu oonli with hem.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
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.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of 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.
They kept this saying 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.
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.
He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
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.
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
14 And he comynge to hise disciplis, saiy a greet cumpany aboute hem, and scribis disputynge with hem.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 And anoon al the puple seynge Jhesu, was astonyed, and thei dredden; and thei rennynge gretten hym.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 And he axide hem, What disputen ye among you?
He asked the scribes, “What are you asking 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,
One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to 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, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
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.
He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear 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.
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and 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;
He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” 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.
Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the 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, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him 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 with tears, “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 a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come 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.
After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 And Jhesus helde his hoond, and lifte hym vp; and he roos.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 And whanne he hadde entrid in to an hous, hise disciplis axiden hym priueli, Whi myyten not we caste hym out?
When he had come into the 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 but by prayer and fasting.”
30 And thei yeden fro thennus, and wente forth in to Galile; and thei wolden not, that ony man wiste.
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
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.
for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 And thei knewen not the word, and dredden to axe hym.
But they didn’t understand the saying, and 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?
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing amongst yourselves on the way?”
34 And thei weren stille; for thei disputiden among hem in the weie, who of hem schulde be grettest.
But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
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.
He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall 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,
He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he 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 little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him 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.
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; 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, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 He that is not ayens vs, is for vs.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
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.
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way 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 will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
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)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go 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 doesn’t 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)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
46 where the worme of hem dieth not, and the fier is not quenchid.
‘where their worm doesn’t 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)
If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 and the fier is not quenchid.
‘where their worm doesn’t 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.
For everyone will be salted 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 has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
