Marcum 9
1 Et dicebat illis: Amen dico vobis, quia sunt quidam de hic stantibus, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei veniens in virtute.
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 Et post dies sex assumit Iesus Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem: et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum solos, et transfiguratus est coram ipsis.
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 Et vestimenta eius facta sunt splendentia, et candida nimis velut nix, qualia fullo non potest super terram candida facere.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Et apparuit illis Elias cum Moyse: et erant loquentes cum Iesu.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Et respondens Petrus, ait Iesu: Rabbi, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, Tibi unum, Moysi unum, et Eliae unum.
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 Non enim sciebat quid diceret: erant enim timore exterriti:
For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 Et facta est nubes obumbrans eos: et venit vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus charissimus: audite illum.
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Et statim circumspicientes, neminem amplius viderunt, nisi Iesum tantum secum.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
9 Et descendentibus illis de monte, praecepit illis ne cuiquam quae vidissent, narrarent: nisi cum Filius hominis a mortuis resurrexerit.
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 Et verbum continuerunt apud se: conquirentes quid esset: Cum a mortuis resurrexerit.
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Quid ergo dicunt Pharisaei, et Scribae, quia Eliam oportet venire primum?
They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Qui respondens, ait illis: Elias cum venerit primo, restituet omnia: et quomodo scriptum est in Filium hominis, ut multa patiatur et contemnatur.
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 Sed dico vobis quia et Elias venit (et fecerunt illi quaecumque voluerunt) sicut scriptum est de eo.
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 Et veniens ad discipulos suos, vidit turbam magnam circa eos, et Scribas conquirentes cum illis.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Et confestim omnis populus videns Iesum, stupefactus est, et expaverunt, et accurrentes salutabant eum.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 Et interrogavit eos: Quid inter vos conquiritis?
He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Et respondens unus de turba, dixit: Magister, attuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum:
One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 qui ubicumque eum apprehenderit, allidit illum, et spumat, et stridet dentibus, et arescit: et dixi discipulis tuis ut eiicerent illum, et non potuerunt.
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 weren’t able.”
19 Qui respondens eis, dixit: O generatio incredula, quamdiu apud vos ero? quamdiu vos patiar? afferte illum ad me.
He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Et attulerunt eum. Et cum vidisset eum, statim spiritus conturbavit illum: et elisus in terram, volutabatur spumans.
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 Et interrogavit patrem eius: Quantum temporis est ex quo ei hoc accidit? Et ille ait: Ab infantia:
He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 et frequenter eum in ignem, et in aquas misit ut eum perderet. sed si quid potes, adiuva nos, misertus nostri.
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 Iesus autem ait illi: Si potes credere, omnia possibilia sunt credenti.
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Et continuo exclamans pater pueri, cum lacrymis aiebat: Credo, Domine: adiuva incredulitatem meam.
Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
25 Et cum videret Iesus concurrentem turbam, comminatus est spiritui immundo, dicens illi: Surde, et mute spiritus, ego praecipio tibi, exi ab eo: et amplius ne introeas in eum.
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 Et exclamans, et multum discerpens eum, exiit ab eo, et factus est sicut mortuus, ita ut multi dicerent: Quia mortuus est.
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 Iesus autem tenens manum eius, elevavit eum, et surrexit.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli eius secreto interrogabant eum: Quare nos non potuimus eiicere eum?
When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
29 Et dixit illis: Hoc genus in nullo potest exire, nisi in oratione, et ieiunio.
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
30 Et inde profecti praetergrediebantur Galilaeam: nec volebat quemquam scire.
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
31 Docebat autem discipulos suos, et dicebat illis: Quoniam filius hominis tradetur in manus hominum, et occident eum, et occisus tertia die resurget.
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 At illi ignorabant verbum: et timebant interrogare eum.
But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Et venerunt Capharnaum. Qui cum domi essent, interrogabat eos: Quid in via tractabatis?
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing amongst yourselves on the way?”
34 At illi tacebant. siquidem in via inter se disputaverunt, quis eorum maior esset.
But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Et residens vocavit duodecim, et ait illis: Si quis vult primus esse, erit omnium novissimus, et omnium minister.
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 Et accipiens puerum, statuit eum in medio eorum: quem cum complexus esset, ait illis:
He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 Quisquis unum ex huiusmodi pueris receperit in nomine meo, me recipit: et quicumque me susceperit, non me suscipit, sed eum, qui misit me.
“Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
38 Respondit illi Ioannes, dicens: Magister, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo eiicientem daemonia, qui non sequitur nos, et prohibuimus eum.
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
39 Iesus autem ait: Nolite prohibere eum. nemo est enim qui faciat virtutem in nomine meo, et possit cito male loqui de me.
But Jesus said, “Don’t 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 qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 Quisquis enim potum dederit vobis calicem aquae frigidae in nomine meo, quia Christi estis: amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.
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 Et quisquis scandalizaverit unum ex his pusillis credentibus in me: bonum est ei magis si circumdaretur mola asinaria collo eius, et in mare mitteretur.
“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 Et si scandalizaverit te manus tua, abscinde illam: bonum est tibi debilem introire in vitam, quam duas manus habentem ire in gehennam, in ignem inextinguibilem: (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, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
44 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Et si pes tuus te scandalizat, amputa illum: bonum est tibi claudum introire in vitam aeternam, quam duos pedes habentem mitti in gehennam ignis inextinguibilis: (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, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
46 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 Quod si oculus tuus scandalizat te, eiice eum: bonum est tibi luscum introire in regnum Dei, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis: (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 of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 Omnis enim igne salietur, et omnis victima sale salietur.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50 Bonum est sal: quod si sal insulsum fuerit: in quo illud condietis? Habete in vobis sal, et pacem habete inter vos.
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.”
