Mark 9
1 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.”
Y les dijo: “En verdad, os digo, entre los que están aquí, algunos no gustarán la muerte sin que hayan visto el reino de Dios venido con poder”.
2 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.
Y seis días después, tomó Jesús consigo a Pedro, a Santiago y a Juan, y los llevó solos, aparte, a un alto monte, y se transfiguró a su vista.
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
Sus vestidos se pusieron resplandecientes y de tal blancura; que no hay batanero sobre esta tierra, capaz de blanquearlos así.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
Y se les aparecieron Elías y Moisés y conversaban con Jesús.
5 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.”
Entonces, Pedro dijo a Jesús: “Rabí, es bueno que nos quedemos aquí. Hagamos, pues, aquí tres pabellones, uno para ti, uno para Moisés, y uno para Elías”.
6 For he did not know what to say, for they were very afraid.
Era que no sabía lo que decía, porque estaban sobrecogidos de temor.
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
Vino, entonces, una nube que los cubrió con su sombra, y de la nube una voz se hizo oír: “Este es mi Hijo, el Amado. ¡Escuchadlo!”.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
Y de repente, mirando todo alrededor, no vieron a nadie con ellos, sino a Jesús solo.
9 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.
Cuando bajaban del monte, les prohibió referir a nadie lo que habían visto, mientras el Hijo del hombre no hubiese resucitado de entre los muertos.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
Y conservaron lo acaecido dentro de sí, discurriendo “qué podría significar eso de resucitar de entre los muertos”.
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Y le hicieron esta pregunta: “¿Por qué, pues, dicen los escribas que Elías debe venir primero?”
12 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?
Respondioles: “Elías, en efecto, vendrá primero y lo restaurará todo. Pero ¿cómo está escrito del Hijo del hombre, que debe padecer mucho y ser vilipendiado?
13 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.”
Pues bien, Yo os declaro: en realidad Elías ya vino e hicieron con él cuanto les plugo, como está escrito de él”.
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
Llegaron, entretanto, a los discípulos y vieron un gran gentío que los rodeaba, y escribas que discutían con ellos.
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
Toda esta multitud en cuanto lo vio se quedó asombrada y corrió a saludarlo.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
Preguntoles: “¿Por qué discutís con ellos?”
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
Respondiole uno de la multitud: “Maestro, te he traído a mi hijo, que tiene un demonio mudo.
18 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.”
Y cuando se apodera de él, lo zamarrea y él echa espumarajos, rechina los dientes y queda todo rígido. Y pedí a tus discípulos que lo expulsasen, y no han podido”.
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
Entonces, Él les respondió y dijo: “Oh raza incrédula, ¿hasta cuándo habré de estar con vosotros? ¿Hasta cuándo habré de soportaros? ¡Traédmelo!”.
20 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.
Y se lo trajeron. En cuanto lo vio, el espíritu lo zamarreaba ( al muchacho ); y caído en el suelo, se revolvía echando espumarajos.
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
Y preguntó al padre: “¿Cuánto tiempo hace que esto le sucede?” Respondió: “Desde su infancia;
22 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.”
y a menudo lo ha echado, ora en el fuego, ora en el agua, para hacerlo morir. Pero si Tú puedes algo, ayúdanos, Y ten compasión de nosotros”.
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Replicole Jesús: “¡Si puedes! ... Todo es posible para el que cree”.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
Entonces, el padre del niño se puso a gritar: “¡Creo! ¡Ven en ayuda de mi falta de fe!”
25 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!”
Y Jesús viendo que se aproximaba un tropel de gente, conminó al espíritu diciéndole: “Espíritu mudo y sordo, Yo te lo mando, sal de él, y no vuelvas a entrar más en él”.
26 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.”
Y, gritando y retorciéndole en convulsiones, salió. Y quedó el niño como muerto, y así muchos decían que había muerto.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
Pero Jesús, tomándolo de la mano, lo levantó y él se tuvo en pie.
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could not we cast it out?”
Cuando hubo entrado en casa, los discípulos le preguntaron en privado: “¿Por qué, pues, no pudimos nosotros expulsarlo?”
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
Les dijo: “Esta casta no puede ser expulsada sino con la oración y el ayuno”.
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it,
Partiendo de allí, pasaron a través de Galilea, y no quería que se supiese;
31 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.”
porque enseñó esto a sus discípulos: “El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres y lo harán morir; y tres días después de su muerte resucitará?”
32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Pero ellos no comprendieron estas palabras y temían preguntarle.
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
Entretanto, llegaron a Cafarnaúm; y cuando estuvo en su casa, les preguntó: “¿De qué conversabais en el camino?”.
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
Mas ellos guardaron silencio, porque habían discutido entre sí, durante el camino, sobre quien sería el mayor.
35 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.”
Entonces, sentose, llamo a los Doce y les dijo: “Si alguno quiere, ser el primero, deberá ser el último de todos y el servidor de todos”.
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Y tomando a un niño, lo puso en medio de ellos, y abrazándolo, les dijo:
37 “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.”
“El que recibe a uno de estos niños en mi nombre, a Mí me recibe; y el que a Mí me recibe, no me recibe a Mí, sino a Aquel que me envió”.
38 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.”
Díjole Juan: “Maestro, vimos a un hombre que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre, el cual no nos sigue; y se lo impedíamos, porque no anda con nosotros”.
39 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.
Pero Jesús dijo: “No se lo impidáis, porque nadie, haciendo milagro por mi nombre, será capaz de hablar luego mal de Mí.
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
Porque quien no está contra nosotros, por nosotros está.
41 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.
Quien os diere a beber un vaso de agua, por razón de que sois de Cristo, en verdad os digo, no perderá su recompensa”.
42 “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.
Quien escandalizare a uno de estos pequeñitos que creen, más le valdría que le atasen alrededor de su cuello una piedra de molino de las que mueve un asno, y que lo echasen al mar.
43 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,
Si tu mano te escandaliza, córtala: más te vale entrar en la vida manco, que irte, con tus dos manos, a la gehenna, al fuego que no se apaga. [ (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 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).
Y si tu pie te escandaliza, córtalo: más te vale entrar en la vida cojo que ser, con tus dos pies, arrojado a la gehenna. [ (Geenna g1067)
46 ‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 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,
Y si tu ojo te escandaliza, sácalo: más te vale entrar en el reino de Dios teniendo un solo ojo que con tus dos ojos ser arrojado a la gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 ‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
donde “el gusano de ellos no muere y el fuego no se apaga”.
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
Porque cada uno ha de ser salado con el fuego. La sal es buena; mas si la sal se vuelve insípida, ¿con qué la sazonaréis? Tened sal en vosotros mismos y estad en paz unos con otros.
50 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.”
