Mark 9
1 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún un yín àwọn mìíràn wa nínú àwọn tó dúró níhìn-ín yìí, tí kì yóò tọ́ ikú wò, títí yóò fi rí ìjọba Ọlọ́run tí yóò fi dé pẹ̀lú agbára.”
“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 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́fà tí Jesu sọ̀rọ̀ yìí, Jesu mú Peteru, Jakọbu àti Johanu lọ sí orí òkè gíga ní apá kan. Kò sí ẹlòmíràn pẹ̀lú wọn, ara rẹ̀ sì yípadà níwájú wọn.
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 Aṣọ rẹ̀ sì di dídán, ó sì funfun gbòò, tí alágbàfọ̀ kan ní ayé kò lè sọ di funfun bẹ́ẹ̀.
and his clothes became whiter than any launderer in the whole world could bleach them.
4 Nígbà náà ni Elijah àti Mose farahàn fún wọn, wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú Jesu.
And Elijah appeared to them, in company with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Peteru sì wí fún Jesu pé, “Rabbi, ó dára fún wa láti máa gbé níhìn-ín, si jẹ́ kí a pa àgọ́ mẹ́ta, ọ̀kan fun ọ, ọ̀kan fún Mose, àti ọ̀kan fún 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 Nítorí òun kò mọ ohun tí òun ìbá sọ, nítorí ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n gidigidi.
For he did not know what to say, because they were much afraid.
7 Ìkùùkuu kan sì bò wọ́n, ohùn kan sì ti inú ìkùùkuu náà wá wí pé, “Èyí ni àyànfẹ́ ọmọ mi. Ẹ máa gbọ́ ti rẹ̀!”
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 Lójijì, wọ́n wo àyíká wọn, wọn kò sì rí ẹnìkankan mọ́, bí kò ṣe Jesu nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn.
And suddenly, on looking around, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone.
9 Bí wọ́n ti ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè, Jesu kìlọ̀ fún wọn kí wọ́n má ṣe sọ ohun tí wọ́n ti rí fún ẹnikẹ́ni títí Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò fi jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú.
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 Nítorí náà, wọ́n pa nǹkan náà mọ́ ní ọkàn wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ ara wọn ohun tí àjíǹde kúrò nínú òkú túmọ̀ sí.
They seized on these words and discussed with one another what this ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
11 Nísinsin yìí, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, èéṣe tí àwọn olùkọ́ òfin ń sọ wí pé, “Elijah ní yóò kọ́kọ́ dé.”
“How is it,” they asked Jesus, “that our teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?”
12 Ó sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni Elijah yóò kọ́kọ́ dé yóò sì mú nǹkan gbogbo padà bọ̀ sípò. Àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ̀wé rẹ nípa ti Ọmọ Ènìyàn pé kò le ṣàìmá jìyà ohun púpọ̀ àti pé a ó sì kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀.
“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 Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín pé, Elijah ti wa ná, wọ́n sì ti ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó wù wọ́n sí i, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ̀wé nípa rẹ̀.”
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and people have treated him just as they pleased, as scripture says of him.”
14 Nígbà tí wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ pátápátá sí ẹsẹ̀ òkè náà, wọ́n bá ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn tí wọ́n yí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mẹ́sàn-án ìyókù ká. Àwọn olùkọ́ òfin díẹ̀ sì ń bá wọn jiyàn.
When they came to the other disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some teachers of the Law arguing with them.
15 Bí Jesu ti ń súnmọ́ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ni wọ́n ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í wò ó pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù, nígbà náà ni wọ́n sáré lọ kí i.
But, as soon as they saw Jesus, all the people, in great astonishment, ran up and greeted him.
16 Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Kí ló fa àríyànjiyàn?”
“What are you arguing about with them?” Jesus asked.
17 Ọkùnrin kan láàrín ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn dáhùn pé, “Olùkọ́, èmi ni mo mú ọmọ yìí wá fún ọ láti wò ó sàn. Kò lè sọ̀rọ̀ rárá, nítorí tí ó ní ẹ̀mí àìmọ́.
“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 Àti pé, nígbàkígbà tí ó bá mú un, á gbé e ṣánlẹ̀, a sì máa hó itọ́ lẹ́nu, a sì máa lọ́ eyín rẹ̀. Òun pàápàá a wá le gbagidi. Mo sì bẹ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ kí wọn lé ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ náà jáde, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n kò lè ṣe é.”
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 Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ìran aláìgbàgbọ́ yìí, èmi yóò ti bá a yín gbé pẹ́ tó? Èmi yóò sì ti mú sùúrù fún un yín pẹ́ tó? Ẹ mú ọmọ náà wá sọ́dọ̀ mi.”
“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 Wọ́n sì mú un wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀: nígbà tí ó sì rí i, lójúkan náà ẹ̀mí náà nà án tàntàn ó sì ṣubú lu ilẹ̀, ó sì ń fi ara yílẹ̀, ó sì ń yọ ìfófó lẹ́nu.
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 Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ baba ọmọ náà pé, “Ó tó ìgbà wo tí ọmọ rẹ̀ ti wà nínú irú ipò báyìí?” Baba ọmọ náà dáhùn pé, “Láti kékeré ni.”
“How long has he been like this?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.
22 Nígbàkígbà ni ó sì máa ń gbé e sínú iná àti sínú omi, láti pa á run, ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá lè ṣe ohunkóhun, ṣàánú fún wa, kí o sì ràn wá lọ́wọ́.
“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 “Jesu sì wí fún un pé, ‘Bí ìwọ bá le gbàgbọ́: ohun gbogbo ni ó ṣe é ṣe fún ẹni tí ó bá gbàgbọ́.’”
“Why say ‘possibly’?” Jesus replied. “Everything is possible for one who has faith.”
24 Lójúkan náà baba ọmọ náà kígbe ní ohùn rara, ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa, mo gbàgbọ́, ran àìgbàgbọ́ mi lọ́wọ́.”
The boy’s father immediately cried out, “I have faith; help my want of faith!”
25 Nígbà tí Jesu rí i pé ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ń péjọ sọ́dọ̀ wọn, ó bá ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ náà wí pé, “Ìwọ ẹ̀mí àìmọ́, adití àti odi, mo pàṣẹ fún ọ, kí ó jáde kúrò lára ọmọ yìí, kí ó má ṣe padà sí ibẹ̀ mọ́.”
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 Òun sì kígbe ńlá, ó sì nà án tàntàn, ó sì jáde kúrò lára rẹ̀, ọmọ náà sì dàbí ẹni tí ó kú tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ké wí pé, “Hé è, ọmọ náà ti kú.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu fà á lọ́wọ́, ó sì ràn án lọ́wọ́ láti dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀. Ó dìde dúró.
But Jesus took his hand, and lifted him; and he stood up.
28 Nígbà tí ó sì wọ ilé, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ bi í léèrè níkọ̀kọ̀ wí pé, “Èéṣe tí àwa kò fi lè lé e jáde?”
When Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Irú èyí kò le ti ipa ohun kan jáde, bí kò ṣe nípa àdúrà.”
“A spirit of this kind,” he said, “can be driven out only by prayer.”
30 Wọ́n sì kúrò níbẹ̀, wọ́n gba Galili kọjá. Níbẹ̀ ni Jesu ti gbìyànjú láti yẹra kí ó bá à lè wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, kí ó lè ráàyè kọ́ wọn lẹ́kọ̀ọ́ sí i.
Leaving that place, Jesus and his disciples went on their way through Galilee; but he did not wish anyone to know it,
31 Nítorí ó kọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ó sì wí fun wọn pe, “A ó fi Ọmọ Ènìyàn lé àwọn ènìyàn lọ́wọ́, wọn ó sì pa á, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a bá sì pa á tan yóò jíǹde ní ọjọ́ kẹta.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ náà kò yé wọn, ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ìtumọ̀ ohun tí ó sọ náà.
But the disciples did not understand his meaning and were afraid to question him.
33 Wọ́n dé sí Kapernaumu. Lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n sinmi tán nínú ilé tí wọ́n wọ̀, Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Kí ni ohun tí ẹ́ ń bá ara yín jiyàn lé lórí?”
They came to Capernaum. When Jesus had gone into the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dákẹ́; nítorí wọn ti ń bá ara wọn jiyàn pé, ta ni ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù?
But they were silent; for on the way they had been arguing with one another which was the greatest.
35 Ó jókòó, ó sì pè àwọn méjìlá náà, ó sọ fún wọn pé, “Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fẹ́ ṣe ẹni ìṣáájú, òun ni yóò ṣe ẹni ìkẹyìn gbogbo wọn. Ó ní láti jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ gbogbo ènìyàn.”
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 Ó sì mú ọmọ kékeré kan, ó fi sáàárín wọn, nígbà tí ó sì gbé e sí apá rẹ̀, ó wí fún wọn pé,
Then Jesus took a little child, and placed it in the middle of them. Taking it in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tẹ́wọ́gbà ọmọ kékeré bí èyí ní orúkọ mi, òun gbà mí. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbà mi, ó gba Baba mi, tí ó rán mi.”
“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 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, Johanu sọ fún un ní ọjọ́ kan pé, “Olùkọ́, àwa rí ọkùnrin kan, tí ń fi orúkọ rẹ̀ lé àwọn ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ jáde, ṣùgbọ́n a sọ fún un pé kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ mọ́, nítorí kì í ṣe ọ̀kan nínú wa.”
“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 Jesu sì sọ fún un pé, “Má ṣe dá irú ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ dúró, nítorí kò sí ẹnìkan ti ó fi orúkọ mi ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu tí yóò tún lè máa sọ ohun búburú nípa mi.
“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 Nítorí ẹni tí kò bá kọ ojú ìjà sí wa, ó wà ní ìhà tiwa.
He who is not against us is for us.
41 Lóòótọ́ ni mo sọ fún ún yín bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fún un yín ní ife omi kan nítorí pé ẹ jẹ́ ti Kristi, dájúdájú ẹni náà kì yóò sọ èrè rẹ̀ nù bí ó ti wù kí ó rí.
If anyone gives you a cup of water because you belong to Christ, I tell you, he will assuredly not lose his reward.
42 “Ṣùgbọ́n ti ẹnikẹ́ni bá mú ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ kékeré wọ̀nyí tí ó gbà mí gbọ́ ṣìnà nínú ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ́, ó sàn fún un kí a so òkúta ńlá mọ́ ọn ni ọ̀run, kí a sì sọ ọ́ sínú òkun.
“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 around his neck.
43 Bí ọwọ́ rẹ bá sì mú ọ kọsẹ̀, gé e sọnù, ó sàn fún ọ kí o ṣe akéwọ́ lọ sí ibi ìyè, ju kí o ní ọwọ́ méjèèjì, kí o lọ sí ọ̀run àpáàdì, sínú iná àjóòkú. (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)
45 Bí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ bá sì mú ọ kọsẹ̀, gé é sọnù, ó sàn kí ó di akesẹ̀, kí o sì gbé títí ayé àìnípẹ̀kun ju kí o ní ẹsẹ̀ méjì tí ó gbé ọ lọ sí ọ̀run àpáàdì. (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)

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 Níbi ti “‘kòkòrò wọn kì í kú, tí iná kì í sì í kú.’
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 Níbẹ̀ ni a ó ti fi iná dán ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wò.
For it is by fire that everyone will be salted.
50 “Iyọ̀ dára, ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá sọ adùn rẹ̀ nù, báwo ni ẹ ṣè lè padà mú un dùn? Ẹ ni iyọ̀ nínú ara yín, ki ẹ sì máa gbé ní àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú ara yín.”
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.”
