Marcos 9
1 TAMBIEN les dijo: De cierto os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí que no gustarán la muerte, hasta que hayan visto el reino de Dios que viene con potencia.
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 Y seis dias despues tomó Jesus á Pedro, y á Jacobo, y á Juan, y los sacó aparte solos á un monte alto, y fué transfigurado delante de ellos.
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 Y sus vestidos se volvieron resplandecientes, muy blancos, como la nieve, tanto que ningun lavador en la tierra los puede hacer tan blancos.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Y les apareció Elías con Moisés, que hablaban con Jesus.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Entonces respondiendo Pedro, dice á Jesus: Maestro, bien será que nos quedemos aquí, y hagamos tres pabellones: para tí uno, y para Moisés otro, y para Elías otro.
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 Porque no sabia lo que hablaba; que estaban espantados.
For he did not know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 Y vino una nube que les hizo sombra, y una voz de la nube que decia: Este es mi Hijo amado; á él oid.
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Y luego, como miraron, no vieron más á nadie consigo, sino á Jesus solo.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
9 Descendiendo ellos del monte, les mandó que á nadie dijesen lo que habian visto, sino cuando el Hijo del hombre hubiese resucitado de los muertos.
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 Y [ellos] retuvieron la palabra en sí altercando qué seria aquello: Resucitar de los muertos.
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Y le preguntaron diciendo: ¿Qué es lo que los escribas dicen, que es necesario que Elías venga ántes?
They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Elías á la verdad, viniendo ántes, restituirá todas las cosas: y como está escrito del Hijo del hombre, [conviene] que padezca mucho, y sea tenido en nada,
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 Empero os digo que Elías [ya] vino, y le hicieron todo lo que quisieron, como está escrito de él.
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 Y como vino á los discípulos, vió grande compañía alrededor de ellos, y escribas que disputaban con ellos.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Y luego toda la gente, viéndole, se espantó, y corriendo á él, le saludaron.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 Y preguntóles: ¿Qué disputais con ellos?
He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Y respondiendo uno de la compañía, dijo: Maestro, traje á tí mi hijo, que tiene un espíritu mudo,
One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 El cual donde quiera que le toma le despedaza, y echa espumarajos, y cruje los dientes, y se va secando: y dije á tus discípulos que le echasen fuera, y no pudieron.
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 were not able.”
19 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: ¡Oh generacion infiel! ¿hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros? ¿hasta cuándo os tengo de sufrir? Traédmele.
He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Y se le trajeron: y como le vió, luego el espíritu lo desgarraba; y cayendo en tierra se revolcaba, echando espumarajos.
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 Y [Jesus] pregunto á su padre: ¿Cuánto tiempo ha que le aconteció esto? Y él dijo: Desde niño:
He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 Y muchas veces le echa en el fuego, y en aguas, para matarle; mas, Si puedes algo, ayúdanos, teniendo misericordia de nosotros.
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 Y Jesus le dijo: Si puedes creer, al que cree todo es posible.
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Y luego el padre del muchacho dijo clamando: Creo; ayuda mi incredulidad.
Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
25 Y como Jesus vió que la multitud se agolpaba, reprendió al espíritu inmundo, diciéndole: Espíritu mudo y sordo, yo te mando, sal de él, y no entres más en él.
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 Entonces [el espíritu] clamando, y desgarrándole mucho, salió; y [él] quedó como muerto, de modo que muchos decian: Está muerto.
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 Mas Jesus tomándole de la mano, enderezólo, y se levantó.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Y como él entró en casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron aparte: ¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos echarle fuera?
When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could not we cast it out?”
29 Y les dijo: Este género con nada puede salir, sino con oracion y ayuno.
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
30 Y habiendo salido de allí, caminaron por Galiléa; y no queria que nadie lo supiese.
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it,
31 Porque enseñaba á sus discípulos, y les decia: El Hijo del hombre será entregado en manos de hombres, y le matarán; mas muerto [él], resucitará al tercer dia.
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 Pero ellos no entendian [esta] palabra, y tenian miedo de preguntarle.
But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Y llegó á Capernaum; y así que estuvo en casa, les preguntó: ¿Qué disputabais entre vosotros en el camino?
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
34 Mas ellos callaron; porque los unos con los otros habian disputado en el camino quién [había de ser] el mayor.
But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Entónces sentándose, llamó á los doce, y les dice: Si alguno quiere ser el primero, será el postrero de todos, y el servidor de todos.
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 Y tomando un niño, púsolo en medio de ellos; y tomándole en sus brazos, les dice:
He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 El que recibiere en mi nombre uno de los tales niños, á mí recibe: y el que á mí recibe, no recibe á mí, mas al que me envió.
“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 Y respondióle Juan, diciendo: Maestro, hemos visto á uno que en tu nombre echaba fuera los demonios, el cual no nos sigue: y se lo prohibimos, porque no nos sigue.
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”
39 Y Jesus dijo: No se lo prohibais; porque ninguno hay que haga milagro en mi nombre que luego pueda decir mal de mí.
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 Porque el que no es contra nosotros, por nosotros es.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 Y cualquiera que os diere un vaso de agua en mi nombre, porque sois de Cristo, de cierto os digo que no perderá su recompensa.
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 Y cualquiera que escandalizare á uno de estos pequeñitos que creen en mí, mejor le fuera si se le atase una piedra de molino al cuello, y fuera echado en la mar.
“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 Y si tu mano te escandalizare, córtala: mejor te es entrar á la vida manco, que teniendo dos manos ir á la Gehenna, al fuego que no puede ser apagado; (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 (Geenna g1067), into the unquenchable fire,
44 Donde su gusano no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Y si tu pie te fuere ocasion de caer, córtale: mejor te es entrar á la vida cojo, que teniendo dos piés ser echado en la Gehenna, al fuego que no puede ser apagado; (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 (Geenna g1067).
46 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere y el fuego nunca se apaga.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 Y si tu ojo te fuere ocasion de caer, sácale: mejor te es entrar al reino de Dios con un ojo, que teniendo dos ojos ser echado á la Gehenna; (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 (Geenna g1067) of fire,
48 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 Porque todos serán salados con fuego, y todo sacrificio será salado con sal.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50 Buena es la sal: mas si la sal fuere desabrida, ¿con qué la adobareis? Tened en vosotros mismos sal; y tened paz los unos con los otros.
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.”
