Marcus 9

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et post dies sex assumit Jesus Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum solos, et transfiguratus est coram ipsis.	1 And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John; and he led them separately to a lofty mountain alone; and he was transfigured before them.
2 Et vestimenta ejus facta sunt splendentia, et candida nimis velut nix, qualia fullo non potest super terram candida facere.	2 And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
3 Et apparuit illis Elias cum Moyse : et erant loquentes cum Jesu.	3 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
4 Et respondens Petrus, ait Jesu : Rabbi, bonum est nos hic esse : et faciamus tria tabernacula, tibi unum, et Moysi unum, et Eliæ unum.	4 And in response, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 Non enim sciebat quid diceret : erant enim timore exterriti.	5 For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
6 Et facta est nubes obumbrans eos : et venit vox de nube, dicens : Hic est Filius meus carissimus : audite illum.	6 And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”
7 Et statim circumspicientes, neminem amplius viderunt, nisi Jesum tantum secum.	7 And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
8 Et descendentibus illis de monte, præcepit illis ne cuiquam quæ vidissent, narrarent : nisi cum Filius hominis a mortuis resurrexerit.	8 And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead.
9 Et verbum continuerunt apud se : conquirentes quid esset, cum a mortuis resurrexerit.	9 And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.
10 Et interrogabant eum, dicentes : Quid ergo dicunt pharisæi et scribæ, quia Eliam oportet venire primum ?	10 And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
11 Qui respondens, ait illis : Elias cum venerit primo, restituet omnia : et quomodo scriptum est in Filium hominis, ut multa patiatur et contemnatur.	11 And in response, he said to them: “Elijah, when he will arrive first, shall restore all things. And in the manner that it has been written about the Son of man, so must he suffer many things and be condemned.
12 Sed dico vobis quia et Elias venit (et fecerunt illi quæcumque voluerunt) sicut scriptum est de eo.	12 But I say to you, that Elijah also has arrived, (and they have done to him whatever they wanted) just as it has been written about him.”
13 Et veniens ad discipulos suos, vidit turbam magnam circa eos, et scribas conquirentes cum illis.	13 And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.
14 Et confestim omnis populus videns Jesum, stupefactus est, et expaverunt, et accurrentes salutabant eum.	14 And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.
15 Et interrogavit eos : Quid inter vos conquiritis ?	15 And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”
16 Et respondens unus de turba, dixit : Magister, attuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum :	16 And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.
17 qui ubicumque eum apprehenderit, allidit illum, et spumat, et stridet dentibus, et arescit : et dixi discipulis tuis ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt.	17 And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.”
18 Qui respondens eis, dixit : O generatio incredula, quamdiu apud vos ero ? quamdiu vos patiar ? afferte illum ad me.	18 And answering them, he said: “O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.”
19 Et attulerunt eum. Et cum vidisset eum, statim spiritus conturbavit illum : et elisus in terram, volutabatur spumans.	19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming.
20 Et interrogavit patrem ejus : Quantum temporis est ex quo ei hoc accidit ? At ille ait : Ab infantia :	20 And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.
21 et frequenter eum in ignem, et in aquas misit ut eum perderet : sed si quid potes, adjuva nos, misertus nostri.	21 And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us.”
22 Jesus autem ait illi : Si potes credere, omnia possibilia sunt credenti.	22 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”
23 Et continuo exclamans pater pueri, cum lacrimis aiebat : Credo, Domine ; adjuva incredulitatem meam.	23 And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”
24 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.	24 And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore.”
25 Et exclamans, et multum discerpens eum, exiit ab eo, et factus est sicut mortuus, ita ut multi dicerent : Quia mortuus est.	25 And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
26 Jesus autem tenens manum ejus elevavit eum, et surrexit.	26 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
27 Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli ejus secreto interrogabant eum : Quare nos non potuimus ejicere eum ?	27 And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
28 Et dixit illis : Hoc genus in nullo potest exire, nisi in oratione et jejunio.	28 And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”
29 Et inde profecti prætergrediebantur Galilæam : nec volebat quemquam scire.	29 And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.
30 Docebat autem discipulos suos, et dicebat illis : Quoniam Filius hominis tradetur in manus hominum, et occident eum, et occisus tertia die resurget.	30 Then he taught his disciples, and he said to them, “For the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
31 At illi ignorabant verbum : et timebant interrogare eum.	31 But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.
32 Et venerunt Capharnaum. Qui cum domi essent, interrogabat eos : Quid in via tractabatis ?	32 And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”
33 At illi tacebant : siquidem in via inter se disputaverunt : quis eorum major esset.	33 But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
34 Et residens vocavit duodecim, et ait illis : Si quis vult primus esse, erit omnium novissimus, et omnium minister.	34 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all.”
35 Et accipiens puerum, statuit eum in medio eorum : quem cum complexus esset, ait illis :	35 And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:
36 Quisquis unum ex hujusmodi pueris receperit in nomine meo, me recipit : et quicumque me susceperit, non me suscipit, sed eum qui misit me.	36 “Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.”
37 Respondit illi Joannes, dicens : Magister, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dæmonia, qui non sequitur nos, et prohibuimus eum.	37 John responded to him by saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; he does not follow us, and so we prohibited him.”
38 Jesus autem ait : Nolite prohibere eum : nemo est enim qui faciat virtutem in nomine meo, et possit cito male loqui de me :	38 But Jesus said: “Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me.
39 qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.	39 For whoever is not against you is for you.
40 Quisquis enim potum dederit vobis calicem aquæ in nomine meo, quia Christi estis : amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.	40 For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
41 Et quisquis scandalizaverit unum ex his pusillis credentibus in me : bonum est ei magis si circumdaretur mola asinaria collo ejus, et in mare mitteretur.	41 And whoever will have scandalized one of these little ones who believe in me: it would be better for him if a great millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
42 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,	42 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life disabled, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire,
43 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.	43 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
44 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,	44 But if your foot causes you to sin, chop it off: it is better for you to enter into eternal life lame, than having two feet to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire,
45 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.	45 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
46 Quod si oculus tuus scandalizat te, ejice eum : bonum est tibi luscum introire in regnum Dei, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis,	46 But if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the Hell of fire,
47 ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.	47 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
48 Omnis enim igne salietur, et omnis victima sale salietur.	48 For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
49 Bonum est sal : quod si sal insulsum fuerit, in quo illud condietis ? Habete in vobis sal, et pacem habete inter vos.	49 Salt is good: but if the salt has become bland, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace among yourselves.”
