Evangelium secundum Marcum, 9

1. Et dicebat illis: “Amen dico vobis: Sunt quidam de hic stan tibus, qui non gustabunt mortem, donec videant regnum Dei venisse in virtute”.

1. And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has 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;

2. And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

3. et vestimenta eius facta sunt splendentia, candida nimis, qualia fullo super terram non potest tam candida facere.

3. and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

4. Et apparuit illis Elias cum Moyse, et erant loquentes cum Iesu.

4. And there appeared to them Eli'jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

5. Et respondens Petrus ait Iesu: “Rabbi, bonum est nos hic esse; et faciamus tria tabernacula: tibi unum et Moysi unum et Eliae unum”.

5. And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

6. Non enim sciebat quid responderet; erant enim exterriti.

6. For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.

7. Et facta est nubes obumbrans eos, et venit vox de nube: “Hic est Filius meus dilectus; audite illum”.

7. And a cloud overshadowed 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.

8. And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only.

9. Et descendentibus illis de monte, praecepit illis, ne cui, quae vidissent, narrarent, nisi cum Filius hominis a mortuis resurrexerit.

9. And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

10. Et verbum continuerunt apud se, conquirentes quid esset illud: “a mortuis resurgere”.

10. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

11. Et interrogabant eum dicentes: “Quid ergo dicunt scribae quia Eliam oporteat venire primum?”.

11. And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?"

12. Qui ait illis: “Elias veniens primo, restituit omnia; et quomodo scriptum est super Filio hominis, ut multa patiatur et contemnatur?

12. And he said to them, "Eli'jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

13. Sed dico vobis: Et Elias venit; et fecerunt illi, quaecumque volebant, sicut scriptum est de eo”.

13. But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

14. Et venientes ad discipulos viderunt turbam magnam circa eos et scribas conquirentes cum illis.

14. And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them.

15. Et confestim omnis populus videns eum stupefactus est, et accurrentes salutabant eum.

15. And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.

16. Et interrogavit eos: “Quid inter vos conquiritis?”.

16. And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

17. Et respondit ei unus de turba: “Magister, attuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum;

17. And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;

18. et ubicumque eum apprehenderit, allidit eum, et spumat et stridet dentibus et arescit. Et dixi discipulis tuis, ut eicerent illum, et non potuerunt”.

18. and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."

19. Qui respondens eis dicit: “O generatio incredula, quamdiu apud vos ero? Quamdiu vos patiar? Afferte illum ad me”.

19. And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."

20. Et attulerunt illum ad eum. Et cum vidisset illum, spiritus statim conturbavit eum; et corruens in terram volutabatur spumans.

20. And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

21. Et interrogavit patrem eius: “Quantum temporis est, ex quo hoc ei accidit?”. At ille ait: “Ab infantia;

21. And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood.

22. et frequenter eum etiam in ignem et in aquas misit, ut eum perderet; sed si quid potes, adiuva nos, misertus nostri”.

22. And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

23. Iesus autem ait illi: ““Si potes!”. Omnia possibilia credenti”.

23. And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."

24. Et continuo exclamans pater pueri aiebat: “Credo; adiuva incredulitatem meam”.

24. Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

25. Et cum videret Iesus concurrentem turbam, comminatus est spiritui immundo dicens illi: “Mute et surde spiritus, ego tibi praecipio: Exi ab eo et amplius ne introeas in eum”.

25. And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."

26. Et clamans et multum discerpens eum exiit; et factus est sicut mortuus, ita ut multi dicerent: “Mortuus est!”.

26. And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."

27. Iesus autem tenens manum eius elevavit illum, et surrexit.

27. But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

28. Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli eius secreto interrogabant eum: “Quare nos non potuimus eicere eum?”.

28. And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

29. Et dixit illis: “Hoc genus in nullo potest exire nisi in oratione”.

29. And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer."

30. Et inde profecti peragrabant Galilaeam; nec volebat quemquam scire.

30. They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it;

31. Docebat enim discipulos suos et dicebat illis: “Filius hominis traditur in manus hominum, et occident eum, et occisus post tres dies resurget”.

31. for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."

32. At illi ignorabant verbum et timebant eum interrogare.

32. But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.

33. Et venerunt Capharnaum. Qui cum domi esset, interrogabat eos: “Quid in via tractabatis?”.

33. And they came to Caper'na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

34. At illi tacebant. Siquidem inter se in via disputaverant, quis esset maior.

34. But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

35. Et residens vocavit Duodecim et ait illis: “Si quis vult primus esse, erit omnium novissimus et omnium minister”.

35. And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

36. Et accipiens puerum, statuit eum in medio eorum; quem ut complexus esset, ait illis:

36. And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and 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 me misit”.

37. "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."

38. Dixit illi Ioannes: “Magister, vidimus quendam in nomine tuo eicientem daemonia, et prohibebamus eum, quia non sequebatur nos”.

38. John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

39. Iesus autem ait: “Nolite prohibere eum. Nemo est enim, qui faciat virtutem in nomine meo et possit cito male loqui de me;

39. But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.

40. qui enim non est adversum nos, pro nobis est.

40. For he that is not against us is for us.

41. Quisquis enim potum dederit vobis calicem aquae in nomine, quia Christi estis, amen dico vobis: Non perdet mercedem suam.

41. For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

42. Et quisquis scandalizaverit unum ex his pusillis credentibus in me, bonum est ei magis, ut circumdetur mola asinaria collo eius, et in mare mittatur.

42. "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

43. Et si scandalizaverit te manus tua, abscide illam: bonum est tibi debilem introire in vitam, quam duas manus habentem ire in gehennam, in ignem inexstinguibilem.

43. And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.

44. Et si pes tuus te scandalizat, amputa illum: bonum est tibi claudum introire in vitam, quam duos pedes habentem mitti in gehennam.

44.

45. []

45. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

46. Et si oculus tuus scandalizat te, eice eum: bonum est tibi luscum introire in regnum Dei, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam,

46.

47. []

47. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,

48. ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non exstinguitur;

48. where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

49. omnis enim igne salietur.

49. For every one will be salted with fire.

50. Bonum est sal; quod si sal insulsum fuerit, in quo illud condietis? Habete in vobis sal et pacem habete inter vos”.

50. Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
