Κατα Μαρκον 9
1 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἰσίν τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστηκότων, οἵτινες οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου, ἕως ἂν ἴδωσιν τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐληλυθυῖαν ἐν δυνάμει.”
He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."
2 Καὶ μετὰ ἡμέρας ἓξ, παραλαμβάνει ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τὸν Πέτρον, καὶ τὸν Ἰάκωβον, καὶ τὸν Ἰωάννην, καὶ ἀναφέρει αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν κατʼ ἰδίαν μόνους. Καὶ μετεμορφώθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν,
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 καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο στίλβοντα λευκὰ λίαν, οἷα γναφεὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὐ δύναται οὕτως λευκᾶναι.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Καὶ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς Ἠλίας σὺν Μωϋσεῖ, καὶ ἦσαν συλλαλοῦντες τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Πέτρος λέγει τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, “Ῥαββί, καλόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς ὧδε εἶναι, καὶ ποιήσωμεν τρεῖς σκηνάς, σοὶ μίαν, καὶ Μωϋσεῖ μίαν, καὶ Ἠλίᾳ μίαν.”
Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 Οὐ γὰρ ᾔδει τί ἀποκριθῇ· ἔκφοβοι γὰρ ἐγένοντο.
For he did not know what to answer, for they became very afraid.
7 Καὶ ἐγένετο νεφέλη ἐπισκιάζουσα αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐγένετο φωνὴ ἐκ τῆς νεφέλης: “Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱός μου, ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἀκούετε αὐτοῦ.”
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
8 Καὶ ἐξάπινα περιβλεψάμενοι, οὐκέτι οὐδένα εἶδον, εἰ μὴ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν μόνον μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
9 Καὶ καταβαινόντων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους, διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ ἃ εἶδον διηγήσωνται, εἰ μὴ ὅταν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ.
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 Καὶ τὸν λόγον ἐκράτησαν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς, συζητοῦντες τί ἐστιν τὸ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι.
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
11 Καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες, ὅτι “Λέγουσιν Οἱ γραμματεῖς ὅτι Ἠλίαν δεῖ ἐλθεῖν πρῶτον;”
They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
12 Ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτοῖς, “Ἠλίας μὲν ἐλθὼν πρῶτον ἀποκαθιστάνει πάντα, καὶ πῶς γέγραπται ἐπὶ τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ἵνα πολλὰ πάθῃ καὶ ἐξουδενηθῇ;
And he said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. And why is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be rejected?
13 Ἀλλὰ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι καὶ Ἠλίας ἐλήλυθεν, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ ὅσα ἤθελον, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐπʼ αὐτόν.”
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 Καὶ ἐλθόντες πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς, εἶδεν ὄχλον πολὺν περὶ αὐτοὺς, καὶ γραμματεῖς συζητοῦντας πρὸς αὐτούς.
And when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Καὶ εὐθὺς πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐξεθαμβήθησαν, καὶ προστρέχοντες ἠσπάζοντο αὐτόν.
Immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
16 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτούς, “Τί συζητεῖτε πρὸς αὑτούς;”
He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
17 Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ εἷς ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου, “Διδάσκαλε, ἤνεγκα τὸν υἱόν μου πρὸς σέ, ἔχοντα πνεῦμα ἄλαλον.
And one out of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 Καὶ ὅπου ἐὰν αὐτὸν καταλάβῃ, ῥήσσει αὐτόν, καὶ ἀφρίζει καὶ τρίζει τοὺς ὀδόντας, καὶ ξηραίνεται. Καὶ εἶπα τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου ἵνα αὐτὸ ἐκβάλωσιν, καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν.”
and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't able."
19 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτοῖς λέγει, “Ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος! Ἕως πότε πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔσομαι; Ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν; Φέρετε αὐτὸν πρός με.”
And answering, he said to them, "You unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me."
20 Καὶ ἤνεγκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτόν. Καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν, τὸ πνεῦμα εὐθὺς συνεσπάραξεν αὐτόν, καὶ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἐκυλίετο ἀφρίζων.
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 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, “Πόσος χρόνος ἐστὶν, ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ;” Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ἐκ παιδιόθεν.
He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.
22 Καὶ πολλάκις καὶ εἰς πῦρ αὐτὸν ἔβαλεν καὶ εἰς ὕδατα, ἵνα ἀπολέσῃ αὐτόν. Ἀλλʼ εἴ τι δύνῃ, βοήθησον ἡμῖν, σπλαγχνισθεὶς ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.”
And it has often cast him both into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."
23 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τὸ “Εἰ δύνῃ; Πάντα δυνατὰ τῷ πιστεύοντι.”
Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
24 Καὶ εὐθέως κράξας, ὁ πατὴρ τοῦ παιδίου ἔλεγεν, “Πιστεύω, βοήθει μου τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ!”
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe. Help my unbelief."
25 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐπισυντρέχει ὄχλος, ἐπετίμησεν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ λέγων αὐτῷ, “τὸ ἄλαλον καὶ κωφὸν πνεῦμα, ἐγὼ ἐπιτάσσω σοι, ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ, καὶ μηκέτι εἰσέλθῃς εἰς αὐτόν.”
When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."
26 Καὶ κράξας, καὶ πολλὰ σπαράξας, ἐξῆλθεν· καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ νεκρὸς, ὥστε τοὺς πολλοὺς λέγειν ὅτι ἀπέθανεν.
Having screamed, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."
27 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἤγειρεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀνέστη.
But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Καὶ εἰσελθόντος αὐτοῦ εἰς οἶκον, οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ κατʼ ἰδίαν ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν, Ὅτι “Ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἠδυνήθημεν ἐκβαλεῖν αὐτό;”
And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"
29 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Τοῦτο τὸ γένος ἐν οὐδενὶ δύναται ἐξελθεῖν, εἰ μὴ ἐν προσευχῇ καὶ νηστείᾳ.”
And he said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer and fasting."
30 Κἀκεῖθεν ἐξελθόντες, παρεπορεύοντο διὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν ἵνα τις γνοῖ·
They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it.
31 ἐδίδασκεν γὰρ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι “Ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀποκτανθεὶς, μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἀναστήσεται.”
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, after three days he will rise again."
32 Οἱ δὲ ἠγνόουν τὸ ῥῆμα, καὶ ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτὸν ἐπερωτῆσαι.
But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Καφαρναούμ. Καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ γενόμενος, ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς, “Τί ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ διελογίζεσθε;”
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing on the way?"
34 Οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων, πρὸς ἀλλήλους γὰρ διελέχθησαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, τίς μείζων.
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Καὶ καθίσας, ἐφώνησεν τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Εἴ τις θέλει πρῶτος εἶναι, ἔσται πάντων ἔσχατος καὶ πάντων διάκονος.”
And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all."
36 Καὶ λαβὼν παιδίον, ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὸ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς,
He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Ὃς ἂν ἓν τῶν τοιούτων παιδίων δέξηται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται· καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐμὲ δέξηται, οὐκ ἐμὲ δέχεται, ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.”
"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me."
38 Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης, “Διδάσκαλε, εἴδομέν τινα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια, καὶ ἐκωλύομεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠκολούθει ἡμῖν.”
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
39 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Μὴ κωλύετε αὐτόν, οὐδεὶς γάρ ἐστιν ὃς ποιήσει δύναμιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, καὶ δυνήσεται ταχὺ κακολογῆσαί με.
But Jesus said, "Do not 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 Ὃς γὰρ οὐκ ἔστιν καθʼ ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐστιν.
For whoever is not against us is for us.
41 Ὃς γὰρ ἂν ποτίσῃ ὑμᾶς ποτήριον ὕδατος ἐν ὀνόματι, ὅτι ˚Χριστοῦ ἐστε, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσῃ τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ.
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to the Christ, truly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 Καὶ ὃς ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, καλόν ἐστιν αὐτῷ μᾶλλον εἰ περίκειται μύλος ὀνικὸς περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ βέβληται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν.
Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
43 Καὶ ἐὰν σκανδαλίζῃ σε ἡ χείρ σου, ἀπόκοψον αὐτήν· καλόν ἐστίν σε κυλλὸν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν, ἢ τὰς δύο χεῖρας ἔχοντα ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Γέενναν, εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἄσβεστον. (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 hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
45 Καὶ ἐὰν ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἀπόκοψον αὐτόν· καλόν ἐστίν σε εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν χωλὸν, ἢ τοὺς δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν Γέενναν. (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
47 Καὶ ἐὰν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἔκβαλε αὐτόν· καλόν σέ ἐστιν μονόφθαλμον εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν Γέενναν, (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 ὅπου ‘ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ, καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται’.
'where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
49 Πᾶς γὰρ πυρὶ ἁλισθήσεται.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
50 Καλὸν τὸ ἅλας, ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἅλας ἄναλον γένηται, ἐν τίνι αὐτὸ ἀρτύσετε; Ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἅλα, καὶ εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.”
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
