Κατα Μαρκον 9
1 και ελεγεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εισιν τινες ωδε των εστηκοτων οιτινες ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εως αν ιδωσιν την βασιλειαν του θεου εληλυθυιαν εν δυναμει
“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 και μετα ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει ο ιησους τον πετρον και τον ιακωβον και {VAR2: τον } ιωαννην και αναφερει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ ιδιαν μονους και μετεμορφωθη εμπροσθεν αυτων
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 και τα ιματια αυτου εγενετο στιλβοντα λευκα λιαν οια γναφευς επι της γης ου δυναται ουτως λευκαναι
and his clothes became whiter than any launderer in the whole world could bleach them.
4 και ωφθη αυτοις ηλιας συν μωυσει και ησαν συλλαλουντες τω ιησου
And Elijah appeared to them, in company with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 και αποκριθεις ο πετρος λεγει τω ιησου ραββι καλον εστιν ημας ωδε ειναι και ποιησωμεν τρεις σκηνας σοι μιαν και μωυσει μιαν και ηλια μιαν
“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 ου γαρ ηδει τι αποκριθη εκφοβοι γαρ εγενοντο
For he did not know what to say, because they were much afraid.
7 και εγενετο νεφελη επισκιαζουσα αυτοις και εγενετο φωνη εκ της νεφελης ουτος εστιν ο υιος μου ο αγαπητος ακουετε αυτου
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 και εξαπινα περιβλεψαμενοι ουκετι ουδενα ειδον {VAR1: μεθ εαυτων ει μη τον ιησουν μονον } {VAR2: αλλα τον ιησουν μονον μεθ εαυτων }
And suddenly, on looking around, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone.
9 και καταβαινοντων αυτων εκ του ορους διεστειλατο αυτοις ινα μηδενι α ειδον διηγησωνται ει μη οταν ο υιος του ανθρωπου εκ νεκρων αναστη
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 και τον λογον εκρατησαν προς εαυτους συζητουντες τι εστιν το εκ νεκρων αναστηναι
They seized on these words and discussed with one another what this ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
11 και επηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες οτι λεγουσιν οι γραμματεις οτι ηλιαν δει ελθειν πρωτον
“How is it,” they asked Jesus, “that our teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?”
12 ο δε εφη αυτοις ηλιας μεν ελθων πρωτον αποκαθιστανει παντα και πως γεγραπται επι τον υιον του ανθρωπου ινα πολλα παθη και εξουδενηθη
“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 αλλα λεγω υμιν οτι και ηλιας εληλυθεν και εποιησαν αυτω οσα ηθελον καθως γεγραπται επ αυτον
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and people have treated him just as they pleased, as scripture says of him.”
14 και ελθοντες προς τους μαθητας ειδον οχλον πολυν περι αυτους και γραμματεις συζητουντας προς αυτους
When they came to the other disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some teachers of the Law arguing with them.
15 και ευθυς πας ο οχλος ιδοντες αυτον εξεθαμβηθησαν και προστρεχοντες ησπαζοντο αυτον
But, as soon as they saw Jesus, all the people, in great astonishment, ran up and greeted him.
16 και επηρωτησεν αυτους τι συζητειτε προς αυτους
“What are you arguing about with them?” Jesus asked.
17 και απεκριθη αυτω εις εκ του οχλου διδασκαλε ηνεγκα τον υιον μου προς σε εχοντα πνευμα αλαλον
“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 και οπου εαν αυτον καταλαβη ρησσει αυτον και αφριζει και τριζει τους οδοντας και ξηραινεται και ειπα τοις μαθηταις σου ινα αυτο εκβαλωσιν και ουκ ισχυσαν
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 ο δε αποκριθεις αυτοις λεγει ω γενεα απιστος εως ποτε προς υμας εσομαι εως ποτε ανεξομαι υμων φερετε αυτον προς με
“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 και ηνεγκαν αυτον προς αυτον και ιδων αυτον το πνευμα ευθυς συνεσπαραξεν αυτον και πεσων επι της γης εκυλιετο αφριζων
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 και επηρωτησεν τον πατερα αυτου ποσος χρονος εστιν ως τουτο γεγονεν αυτω ο δε ειπεν εκ παιδιοθεν
“How long has he been like this?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.
22 και πολλακις και εις πυρ αυτον εβαλεν και εις υδατα ινα απολεση αυτον αλλ ει τι δυνη βοηθησον ημιν σπλαγχνισθεις εφ ημας
“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 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτω το ει δυνη παντα δυνατα τω πιστευοντι
“Why say ‘possibly’?” Jesus replied. “Everything is possible for one who has faith.”
24 ευθυς κραξας ο πατηρ του παιδιου ελεγεν πιστευω βοηθει μου τη απιστια
The boy’s father immediately cried out, “I have faith; help my want of faith!”
25 ιδων δε ο ιησους οτι επισυντρεχει οχλος επετιμησεν τω πνευματι τω ακαθαρτω λεγων αυτω το αλαλον και κωφον πνευμα εγω επιτασσω σοι εξελθε εξ αυτου και μηκετι εισελθης εις αυτον
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 και κραξας και πολλα σπαραξας εξηλθεν και εγενετο ωσει νεκρος ωστε τους πολλους λεγειν οτι απεθανεν
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 ο δε ιησους κρατησας της χειρος αυτου ηγειρεν αυτον και ανεστη
But Jesus took his hand, and lifted him; and he stood up.
28 και εισελθοντος αυτου εις οικον οι μαθηται αυτου κατ ιδιαν επηρωτων αυτον οτι ημεις ουκ ηδυνηθημεν εκβαλειν αυτο
When Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 και ειπεν αυτοις τουτο το γενος εν ουδενι δυναται εξελθειν ει μη εν προσευχη
“A spirit of this kind,” he said, “can be driven out only by prayer.”
30 κακειθεν εξελθοντες {VAR1: επορευοντο } {VAR2: παρεπορευοντο } δια της γαλιλαιας και ουκ ηθελεν ινα τις γνοι
Leaving that place, Jesus and his disciples went on their way through Galilee; but he did not wish anyone to know it,
31 εδιδασκεν γαρ τους μαθητας αυτου και ελεγεν {VAR1: [αυτοις] } {VAR2: αυτοις } οτι ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εις χειρας ανθρωπων και αποκτενουσιν αυτον και αποκτανθεις μετα τρεις ημερας αναστησεται
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 οι δε ηγνοουν το ρημα και εφοβουντο αυτον επερωτησαι
But the disciples did not understand his meaning and were afraid to question him.
33 και ηλθον εις καφαρναουμ και εν τη οικια γενομενος επηρωτα αυτους τι εν τη οδω διελογιζεσθε
They came to Capernaum. When Jesus had gone into the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 οι δε εσιωπων προς αλληλους γαρ διελεχθησαν εν τη οδω τις μειζων
But they were silent; for on the way they had been arguing with one another which was the greatest.
35 και καθισας εφωνησεν τους δωδεκα και λεγει αυτοις ει τις θελει πρωτος ειναι εσται παντων εσχατος και παντων διακονος
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 και λαβων παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων και εναγκαλισαμενος αυτο ειπεν αυτοις
Then Jesus took a little child, and placed it in the middle of them. Taking it in his arms, he said to them,
37 ος αν {VAR1: [εν] } {VAR2: εν } των τοιουτων παιδιων δεξηται επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται και ος αν εμε δεχηται ουκ εμε δεχεται αλλα τον αποστειλαντα με
“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 εφη αυτω ο ιωαννης διδασκαλε ειδομεν τινα εν τω ονοματι σου εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια και εκωλυομεν αυτον οτι ουκ ηκολουθει ημιν
“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 ο δε ιησους ειπεν μη κωλυετε αυτον ουδεις γαρ εστιν ος ποιησει δυναμιν επι τω ονοματι μου και δυνησεται ταχυ κακολογησαι με
“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 ος γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ ημων υπερ ημων εστιν
He who is not against us is for us.
41 ος γαρ αν ποτιση υμας ποτηριον υδατος εν ονοματι οτι χριστου εστε αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη απολεση τον μισθον αυτου
If anyone gives you a cup of water because you belong to Christ, I tell you, he will assuredly not lose his reward.
42 και ος αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων {VAR2: [εις εμε] } καλον εστιν αυτω μαλλον ει περικειται μυλος ονικος περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και βεβληται εις την θαλασσαν
“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 και εαν {VAR1: σκανδαλιση } {VAR2: σκανδαλιζη } σε η χειρ σου αποκοψον αυτην καλον εστιν σε κυλλον εισελθειν εις την ζωην η τας δυο χειρας εχοντα απελθειν εις την γεενναν εις το πυρ το ασβεστον (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 και εαν ο πους σου σκανδαλιζη σε αποκοψον αυτον καλον εστιν σε εισελθειν εις την ζωην χωλον η τους δυο ποδας εχοντα βληθηναι εις την γεενναν (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)
47 και εαν ο οφθαλμος σου σκανδαλιζη σε εκβαλε αυτον καλον σε εστιν μονοφθαλμον εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου η δυο οφθαλμους εχοντα βληθηναι εις {VAR2: την } γεενναν (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 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων ου τελευτα και το πυρ ου σβεννυται
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 πας γαρ πυρι αλισθησεται
For it is by fire that everyone will be salted.
50 καλον το αλας εαν δε το αλας αναλον γενηται εν τινι αυτο αρτυσετε εχετε εν εαυτοις αλα και ειρηνευετε εν αλληλοις
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.”
