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.
"In solemn truth I tell you," he said, "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God, 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.
Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and Jamesand John, and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest.
3 Et vestimenta eius facta sunt splendentia, et candida nimis velut nix, qualia fullo non potest super terram candida facere.
Here in their presence he was transfigured; and his clothes also became glistering with a radiant whiteness, such as no bleaching on earth could give.
4 Et apparuit illis Elias cum Moyse: et erant loquentes cum Iesu.
Moreover there appeared to them Elijah, with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Et respondens Petrus, ait Iesu: Rabbi, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, Tibi unum, et Moysi unum, et Eliæ unum.
"Master," said Peter, addressing Jesus, "it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 Non enim sciebat quid diceret: erant enim timore exterriti:
(For he did not know what to say, they were so awestruck.)
7 Et facta est nubes obumbrans eos: et venit vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus charissimus: audite illum.
Then there came a cloud overshadowing them; and there came a voice out of the cloud. "This is my Son, my beloved. Listen to him."
8 Et statim circumspicientes, neminem amplius viderunt, nisi Iesum tantum secum.
And suddenly as they looked around, they saw no one any more beside them, but Jesus alone.
9 Et descendentibus illis de monte, præcepit illis ne cuiquam quæ vidissent, narrarent: nisi cum Filius hominis a mortuis resurrexerit.
As they came down the mountain he strictly forbade them to narrate to any one what 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.
This order they faithfully kept, questioning among themselves what "rising again from the dead" meant.
11 Et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Quid ergo dicunt Pharisæi, et scribæ, quia Eliam oportet venire primum?
So they asked him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
12 Qui respondens, ait illis: Elias cum venerit primo, restituet omnia: et quo modo scriptum est in Filium hominis, ut multa patiatur et contemnatur.
"Elijah does indeed first come," he said, "and restores all things, But how is it written about the Son of Man, that he will endure great suffering, and be rejected?
13 Sed dico vobis quia et Elias venit (et fecerunt illi quæcumque voluerunt) sicut scriptum est de eo.
"Elijah indeed has already come," he added, "and they have done to him whatever they pleased, even as it is written of him."
14 Et veniens ad discipulos suos, vidit turbam magnam circa eos, et scribas conquirentes cum illis.
When they rejoined the disciples they saw a great crowd surrounding them, and some Scribes disputing with them.
15 Et confestim omnis populus videns Iesum, stupefactus est, et expaverunt, et accurrentes salutabant eum.
As soon as they saw him, all the people were astounded and ran up to greet him.
16 Et interrogavit eos: Quid inter vos conquiritis?
He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"
17 Et respondens unus de turba, dixit: Magister, attuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum:
"Master," answered one of the crowd, "I brought my son to you; he has a dumb spirit in him;
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 dashes him down; he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and is wasting away. I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."
19 Qui respondens eis, dixit: O generatio incredula, quamdiu apud vos ero? Quamdiu vos patiar? Afferte illum ad me.
"O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? How long must I be patient with you? Bring him to me."
20 Et attulerunt eum. Et cum vidisset eum, statim spiritus conturbavit illum: et elisus in terram, volutabatur spumans.
So they brought the boy to him, and when he saw Jesus, the spirit at once convulsed him, and he fell to the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
21 Et interrogavit patrem eius: Quantum temporis est ex quo ei hoc accidit? At ille ait: Ab infantia:
Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?"
22 et frequenter eum in ignem, et in aquas misit ut eum perderet. Sed si quid potes, adiuva nos, misertus nostri.
"From childhood," he answered; "and often it has thrown him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."
23 Iesus autem ait illi: Si potes credere, omnia possibilia sunt credenti.
Jesus said to him. "‘If you can’! All things can be for one who believes."
24 Et continuo exclamans pater pueri, cum lacrymis aiebat: Credo, Domine: adiuva incredulitatem meam.
The boy’s father with a cry said instantly. "I do believe; help my unbelief."
25 Et cum videret Iesus concurrentem turbam, comminatus est spiritui immundo, dicens illi: Surde, et mute spiritus, ego præcipio tibi, exi ab eo: et amplius ne introeas in eum.
And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit. "You dumb and deaf spirit," he said, "come out of him, I command you, 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.
So with a loud shriek it came out, after throwing the boy into convulsion after convulsion. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said that he was dead.
27 Iesus autem tenens manum eius, elevavit eum, et surrexit.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stood up.
28 Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli eius secreto interrogabant eum: Quare nos non potuimus eiicere eum?
When Jesus had gone into the house, his disciples asked him in private, "Why could not we cast it out?"
29 Et dixit illis: Hoc genus in nullo potest exire, nisi in oratione, et ieiunio.
"This kind can only be cast out by prayer," he replied.
30 Et inde profecti prætergrediebantur Galilæam: nec volebat quemquam scire.
Jesus and his disciples, after leaving that place, passed through Galilee; but he was unwilling that any one should 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 explaining to his disciples that the Son of man was to be betrayed into the hands of men, and that they would put him to death, but that after he had been put to death, he would rise again after three days,
32 At illi ignorabant verbum: et timebant interrogare eum.
But they did not understand his words, and were afraid to ask him the meaning.
33 Et venerunt Capharnaum. Qui cum domi essent, interrogabat eos: Quid in via tractabatis?
Then they came to Capernaum; and when he got into the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the road?"
34 At illi tacebant. Siquidem in via inter se disputaverunt, quis eorum maior esset.
But they were silent, for on the road they were disputing together which one was greatest.
35 Et residens vocavit duodecim, et ait illis: Si quis vult primus esse, erit omnium novissimus, et omnium minister.
So he sat down and called the Twelve, and said to them, "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and the servant of all."
36 Et accipiens puerum, statuit eum in medio eorum: quem cum complexus esset, ait illis:
Then Jesus took a little child, set it among them, and folding it in his arms, he said,
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 in my name receives one such little child, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me, but Him who sent me."
38 Respondit illi Ioannes, dicens: Magister, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo eiicientem dæmonia, qui non sequitur nos, et prohibuimus eum.
"Master," said John, "we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he did not 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.
"Do not try to stop him," Jesus answered, "for there is no one who performs a miracle in my name who can soon speak evil of me.
40 Qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.
He who is not against us is for us.
41 Quisquis enim potum dederit vobis calicem aquæ in nomine meo, quia Christi estis: Amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.
For whoever gives you even a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, in solemn truth I tell you, that he shall certainly not 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.
"And if any one shall cause one of these little ones who believe on me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown out into the sea with a great millstone about his neck.
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 inextinguibilem: (Geenna g1067)
"If your hand cause you to stumble, cut it off! It is better to be maimed and to enter into life than to have two hands and go away into hell, into the fire that cannot be put out. (Geenna g1067)
44 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
45 Et si pes tuus te scandalizat, amputa illum: bonum est tibi claudum introire in vitam æternam, quam duos pedes habentem mitti in gehennam ignis inextinguibilis: (Geenna g1067)
If your foot cause you to stumble, cut it off! It is better to enter into the life a cripple, than to have two feet and be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
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 cause you to stumble, tear it out! It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God one-eyed that to keep both your eyes and be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
where their worm never dies and the fire does not go out.
49 Omnis enim igne salietur, et omnis victima sale salietur.
For by fire every one will be salted;
50 Bonum est sal: quod si sal insulsum fuerit: in quo illud condietis? Habete in vobis sal, et pacem habete inter vos.
salt is excellent, but if the salt has lost its savor, what will you use to restore its saltness? Then have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
