Mark 9
1 Ac el fahk pac nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, oas rkutu selos inge su ac fah tiana misa nwe ke elos liye Tokosrai lun God tuku ke ku.”
‘I tell you,’ he added, ‘that some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the kingdom of God come in power.’
2 Tukun len onkosr Jesus el eisal Peter, James ac John, ac el usaltalak nu fin soko eol fulat yen ma elos muku we. Ke eltal ngetang liyal, Jesus el ekla,
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain alone by themselves. There his appearance was transformed before their eyes,
3 ac nuknuk lal ekla saromrom, arulana fasrfasr liki na ma kutena mwet faclu ku in akfasrfasrye.
and his clothes became whiter than any launderer in the whole world could bleach them.
4 Ac mwet tumal lutlut tolu ah liyal Elijah ac Moses ke eltal sramsram nu sin Jesus.
And Elijah appeared to them, in company with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Na Peter el fahk nu sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti, seyal wo ke kut muta inge uh! Kut ac orala tolu iwen aktuktuk — sie nu sum, sie nu sel Moses, ac sie nu sel Elijah.”
‘Rabbi,’ said Peter, interposing, ‘it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’
6 El ac mwet wial uh arulana sangeng, pwanang el nikanla lah mea el ac fahk.
For he did not know what to say, because they were much afraid.
7 Na sie pukunyeng sikyak ac sonolosi, ac sie pusra tuku in pukunyeng uh me ac fahk, “El inge el Wen kulo nutik — kowos lohngol!”
Then a cloud came down and enveloped them; and from the cloud there came a voice – ‘This is my dearly loved son; listen to him.’
8 Ac ke eltal sa na in lohang nu kac, eltal tia liyauk kutena mwet, a Jesus mukena oasr yoroltal.
And suddenly, on looking round, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone.
9 Ac ke elos oatui liki fineol uh, Jesus el wili nu seltal ac fahk, “Nimet komtal fahkak nu sin kutena mwet ke ma komtal tuh liye, nwe ke na pacl se Wen nutin Mwet el sifil moulyak liki misa.”
As they were going down the mountainside, Jesus cautioned them not to relate what they had seen to anyone, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Elos akos fahk lal, tusruktu elos mutawauk in asiyuki inmasrlolos sifacna ac fahk, “Mea kalmen ‘sifil moulyak liki misa’ se inge?”
They seized on these words and discussed with one another what this “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Ac elos siyuk sin Jesus, “Efu ku mwet luti Ma Sap uh elos fahk mu Elijah el ac tuku meet?”
‘How is it,’ they asked Jesus, ‘that our teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?’
12 Ac el topuk nu selos, “Pwayena lah Elijah el ac tuku meet tuh elan aksuwosye ma nukewa. Na fuka tuh Ma Simusla uh fahk mu Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah keok ke ma puspis ac pilesreyuk?
‘Elijah does indeed come first,’ answered Jesus, ‘and re-establish everything; and does not scripture speak, with regard to the Son of Man, of his undergoing much suffering and being utterly despised?
13 A nga fahk nu suwos lah Elijah el tuku tari, ac mwet uh oru nu sel kutena ma elos lungse oru nu sel, oana ke Ma Simusla fahkak kacl.”
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and people have treated him just as they pleased, as scripture says of him.’
14 Ke elos foloko nu yurin mwet tumal lutlut wialos, elos liye u lulap se raunelosla, ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos akukuin yorolos.
When they came to the other disciples, they saw a great crowd round them, and some teachers of the Law arguing with them.
15 Ac ke mwet uh liyal Jesus elos arulana lut, ac kasrusr nu yorol ac paingul.
But, as soon as they saw Jesus, all the people, in great astonishment, ran up and greeted him.
16 Na Jesus el siyuk sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Mea kowos akukuin nu selos kac uh?”
‘What are you arguing about with them?’ Jesus asked.
17 Ac sie sin mwet in u sac topuk nu sel ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, nga use nu yurum wen nutik ke sripen oasr ngun fohkfok yorol ac el tia ku in kaskas.
‘Teacher,’ answered a man in the crowd, ‘I brought my son to see you, as he has a spirit in him that makes him mute;
18 Pacl nukewa ngun fohkfok ac aklokoalokyal uh el ac kipakinilya nu infohk uh, ac atinfilak fahsr inwalul, ac el ngalseni inwihsel, ac kekela manol nufon. Nga siyuk sin mwet tomom lutlut elos in sisla ngun sac, a elos koflana.”
and, wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they failed.’
19 Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Fuka lupan selulalfongi lowos uh! Nga ac muta yuruwos putaka? Nga ac muteng kowos nwe ngac? Usalu nu yuruk!”
‘Faithless generation!’ exclaimed Jesus. ‘How long must I be with you? How long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me.’
20 Ac elos usalla nu yorol Jesus. Ke pacl se na ngun fohkfok sac liyalak Jesus, el sisya tulik sac ac tuyang musal, ac el putatla nu infohk uh ac tipirpir, ac atinfilak tuku inwalul me.
They brought him to Jesus; but no sooner did the boy see him than the spirit threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Ac Jesus el siyuk sin papa tumal, “Mas se inge oan yorol putaka?” Ac el topuk ac fahk, “Ke el tulik ah me.
‘How long has he been like this?’ Jesus asked the boy’s father.
22 Pacl puspis ngun fohkfok uh srike in unilya ke el ac siselang nu in e, ku nu in kof uh. Pakomutasr ac kasrekut, kom fin ku!”
‘From his childhood,’ he answered. ‘It has often thrown him into fire and into water to put an end to his life; but, if you can possibly do anything, take pity on us, and help us!’
23 Ac Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Aok, kom sifacna fin ku! Ma nukewa ku nu sel su lulalfongi.”
‘Why say “possibly”?’ Jesus replied. ‘Everything is possible for one who has faith.’
24 In pacl sacna papa sac wowoyak ac fahk nu sel, “Nga lulalfongi, tuh soenna fal. Kasreyu akyokye lulalfongi luk uh!”
The boy’s father immediately cried out, ‘I have faith; help my want of faith!’
25 Ac Jesus el liye lah mwet uh kilukeni nu yorolos, na el kai ngun fohkfok sac ac fahk nu sel, “Kom ngun se su sulohng ac sukas, nga sap kom in fahla liki tulik sacn, ac tia sifil ilyak nu in el!”
But, when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly collecting, he rebuked the foul spirit, ‘Deaf and dumb spirit, it is I who command you. Come out from him and never enter him again.’
26 Ngun sac wowoyak ac sisya tulik sac nu infohk uh, na el illa lukel. Tulik sac oan oana elan misa, ac mwet uh fahk, “El misa!”
With a loud cry the spirit threw the boy into repeated convulsions, and then came out from him. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said that he was dead.
27 A Jesus el sruokya paol ac tulokunulak, ac el tuyak.
But Jesus took his hand, and lifted him; and he stood up.
28 Tukun Jesus el utyak nu in lohm ah, mwet tumal lutlut elos siyuk sel in lukma ac fahk, “Efu ku kut kofla in sisla ngun fohkfok sac?”
When Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, ‘Why couldn’t we drive it out?’
29 Ac Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Wangin ma ku in sisla ngun ouinge uh sayen pre mukena.”
‘A spirit of this kind,’ he said, ‘can be driven out only by prayer.’
30 Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut som liki acn sac ac fahsr sasla Galilee. Jesus el tia lungse mwet uh in etu acn el oasr we,
Leaving that place, Jesus and his disciples went on their way through Galilee; but he did not wish anyone to know it,
31 mweyen el luti nu sin mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk nu selos, “Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang nu inpoun mwet su ac fah unilya. Tusruktu tukun len tolu el ac fah sifil moulyak.”
for he was instructing his disciples, and telling them – ‘The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of his fellow men, and they will put him to death, but, when he has been put to death, he will rise again after three days.’
32 A elos tia etu kalmen ma el luti inge, ac elos sangeng in siyuk sel.
But the disciples did not understand his meaning and were afraid to question him.
33 Elos tuku nu Capernaum, ac ke elos ilyak nu in lohm uh, Jesus el siyuk selos, “Mea kowos asiyuki kac inkanek uh?”
They came to Capernaum. When Jesus had gone into the house, he asked them, ‘What were you discussing on the way?’
34 A elos tiana topkol, mweyen elos akukuin inmasrlolos sifacna lah su kac ac fulat emeet selos uh.
But they were silent; for on the way they had been arguing with one another which was the greatest.
35 Na Jesus el muta ac pangonma mwet tumal lutlut singoul luo ac fahk nu selos, “Kutena mwet fin lungse tuh elan meet, el fah oru tuh elan tok liki nukewa, ac elan mwet kulansap nu sin mwet nukewa.”
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘If anyone wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.’
36 Na el eis sie tulik srisrik ac sap elan tuyak ye mutalos nukewa, na el kaosulma ac fahk,
Then Jesus took a little child, and placed it in the middle of them. Taking it in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Kutena mwet su eis sie sin tulik srisrik ouinge inek, el eisyu; ac el su eisyu el tia eisyu mukena, a el eisal pac su supweyume.”
‘Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even a little child like this is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming not me, but him who sent me as his messenger.’
38 John el fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, kut tuh liye mwet se sisla demon uh inem; a kut kutongilya mweyen el tia ma in u lasr uh.”
‘Teacher,’ said John, ‘we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he did not follow us.’
39 Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Nik kowos srike in kutongilya, mweyen wangin sie mwet su oru ma sakirik ke inek fah ku in fahk ma koluk keik tukun el oru ma inge.
‘None of you must prevent the man,’ answered Jesus, ‘for no one will use my name in working a miracle, and yet find it easy to speak evil of me.
40 Tuh kutena mwet su tia lain kut, el wi kut.
He who is not against us is for us.
41 Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su sot nu suwos sie cup in kof nimowos ke sripen kowos mwet luk, fah eis lacnen orekma wo lal.
If anyone gives you a cup of water because you belong to Christ, I tell you, he will assuredly not lose his reward.
42 “Fin oasr kutena mwet su aktukulkulye sie sin tulik srisrik inge in tila lulalfongiyu, fal nu sin mwet sacn in sripsripi sie tapweng eot inkwawal ac sisila el nu in meoa uh.
‘And, if anyone puts temptation in the way of one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be far better for him if he had been thrown into the sea with a great millstone round his neck.
43 La poum fin aktukulkulye kom, pakela! Ac wo nu sum kom in utyak nu in moul wi la na poum, liki in oasr po luo lom ac kom som nu in hell, nu in e se koflana kunla. [ (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter the life maimed, than to have both your hands and go into Gehenna, into the fire that cannot be put out. (Geenna g1067)
44 “Yen wet ma kang manolos tiana misa, ac e uh tiana kunla.]
45 Ac la niom fin aktukulkulye kom, pakela! Wo kom in ilyak nu in moul ke lac ne liki in oasr niom kewa ac sisila kom nu in hell. [ (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter the life lame, than to have both your feet and be thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
46 Yen wet ma kang manolos tiana misa, ac e uh tiana kunla.]
47 Ac la motom fin aktukulkulye kom, tipalla! Wo kom in lac atronmuta na ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God, liki in fas atronmotom kewa ac sisila kom nu in hell. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It would be better for you to enter the kingdom of God with only one eye, than to have both eyes and be thrown into Gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 ‘Yen wet ma kang manolos tiana misa, ac e uh tiana kunla.’
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 “Mwet nukewa ac fah aknasnasyeyuk ke e, oana ke mwe kisa uh aknasnasyeyuk ke sohl uh.
For it is by fire that everyone will be salted.
50 Sohl uh wo, tuh fin wangin eman sohl kac, ac fuka oreya in sifil oasr emah? “Lela sohl lun insese in oasr inmasrlowos, ac kowos in moul in misla yurin sie sin sie.”
Salt is good, but, if the salt should lose its saltiness, what will you use to season it? You must have salt in yourselves, and live at peace with one another.’
