Mark 9
Christ is transfigured. He casts out the dumb spirit. He teaches humility and to avoid scandal.
Et post dies sex assumit Jesus Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum solos, et transfiguratus est coram ipsis.
And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
Et vestimenta ejus facta sunt splendentia, et candida nimis velut nix, qualia fullo non potest super terram candida facere.
And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
Et apparuit illis Elias cum Moyse: et erant loquentes cum Jesu.
And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
Et respondens Petrus, ait Jesu: Rabbi, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, tibi unum, et Moysi unum, et Eliæ unum.
And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Non enim sciebat quid diceret: erant enim timore exterriti.
For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
Et facta est nubes obumbrans eos: et venit vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus carissimus: audite illum.
And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved Son. Hear ye him.
Et statim circumspicientes, neminem amplius viderunt, nisi Jesum tantum secum.
And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
Et descendentibus illis de monte, præcepit illis ne cuiquam quæ vidissent, narrarent: nisi cum Filius hominis a mortuis resurrexerit.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
Et verbum continuerunt apud se: conquirentes quid esset, cum a mortuis resurrexerit.
And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
Et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Quid ergo dicunt pharisæi et scribæ, quia Eliam oportet venire primum?
And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
Qui respondens, ait illis: Elias cum venerit primo, restituet omnia: et quomodo scriptum est in Filium hominis, ut multa patiatur et contemnatur.
Who answering, said to then: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man that he must suffer many things and be despised.
Sed dico vobis quia et Elias venit (et fecerunt illi quæcumque voluerunt) sicut scriptum est de eo.
But I say to you that Elias also is come (and they have done to him whatsoever they would), as it is written of him.
Et veniens ad discipulos suos, vidit turbam magnam circa eos, et scribas conquirentes cum illis.
And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes disputing with them.
Et confestim omnis populus videns Jesum, stupefactus est, et expaverunt, et accurrentes salutabant eum.
And presently all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear: and running to him, they saluted him.
Et interrogavit eos: Quid inter vos conquiritis?
And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
Et respondens unus de turba, dixit: Magister, attuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum:
And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
qui ubicumque eum apprehenderit, allidit illum, et spumat, et stridet dentibus, et arescit: et dixi discipulis tuis ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt.
Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him: and he foameth and gnasheth with the teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not.
Qui respondens eis, dixit: O generatio incredula, quamdiu apud vos ero? quamdiu vos patiar? afferte illum ad me.
Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me.
Et attulerunt eum. Et cum vidisset eum, statim spiritus conturbavit illum: et elisus in terram, volutabatur spumans.
And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
Et interrogavit patrem ejus: Quantum temporis est ex quo ei hoc accidit? At ille ait: Ab infantia:
And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he sad: From his infancy.
et frequenter eum in ignem, et in aquas misit ut eum perderet: sed si quid potes, adjuva nos, misertus nostri.
And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
Jesus autem ait illi: Si potes credere, omnia possibilia sunt credenti.
And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Et continuo exclamans pater pueri, cum lacrimis aiebat: Credo, Domine; adjuva incredulitatem meam.
And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.
Et cum videret Jesus concurrentem turbam, comminatus est spiritui immundo, dicens illi: Surde et mute spiritus, ego præcipio tibi, exi ab eo: et amplius ne introëas in eum.
And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him and enter not any more into him.
Et exclamans, et multum discerpens eum, exiit ab eo, et factus est sicut mortuus, ita ut multi dicerent: Quia mortuus est.
And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went our of him. And he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
Jesus autem tenens manum ejus elevavit eum, et surrexit.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli ejus secreto interrogabant eum: Quare nos non potuimus ejicere eum?
And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
Et dixit illis: Hoc genus in nullo potest exire, nisi in oratione et jejunio.
And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Et inde profecti prætergrediebantur Galilæam: nec volebat quemquam scire.
And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not that any man should know it.
Docebat autem discipulos suos, et dicebat illis: Quoniam Filius hominis tradetur in manus hominum, et occident eum, et occisus tertia die resurget.
And he taught his disciples and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
At illi ignorabant verbum: et timebant interrogare eum.
But they understood not the word: and they were afraid to ask him.
Et venerunt Capharnaum. Qui cum domi essent, interrogabat eos: Quid in via tractabatis?
And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
At illi tacebant: siquidem in via inter se disputaverunt: quis eorum major esset.
But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
Et residens vocavit duodecim, et ait illis: Si quis vult primus esse, erit omnium novissimus, et omnium minister.
And sitting down, he called the twelve and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all and be minister of all.
Et accipiens puerum, statuit eum in medio eorum: quem cum complexus esset, ait illis:
And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
Quisquis unum ex hujusmodi pueris receperit in nomine meo, me recipit: et quicumque me susceperit, non me suscipit, sed eum qui misit me.
Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me receiveth not me but him that sent me.
Respondit illi Joannes, dicens: Magister, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dæmonia, qui non sequitur nos, et prohibuimus eum.
John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us: and we forbade him.
Jesus autem ait: Nolite prohibere eum: nemo est enim qui faciat virtutem in nomine meo, et possit cito male loqui de me:
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name and can soon speak ill of me.
qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.
For he that is not against you is for you.
Quisquis enim potum dederit vobis calicem aquæ in nomine meo, quia Christi estis: amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.
For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
Et quisquis scandalizaverit unum ex his pusillis credentibus in me: bonum est ei magis si circumdaretur mola asinaria collo ejus, et in mare mitteretur.
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea.
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,
And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:
ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
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,
And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting than having two feet to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:
ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
Quod si oculus tuus scandalizat te, ejice eum: bonum est tibi luscum introire in regnum Dei, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis,
And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:
ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
Omnis enim igne salietur, et omnis victima sale salietur.
For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
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 become unsavoury, wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you: and have peace among you.
