馬可福音 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
9 耶穌繼續說：「我實在告訴你們，有些站在這裡的人會在有生之年看見上帝的國帶著能力降臨。」
登山變象
2 六天後，耶穌帶著彼得、雅各和約翰暗暗地登上一座高山。耶穌在他們面前改變了形像， 3 衣服變得潔白放光，世上找不到漂得那麼白的布。 4 這時，以利亞和摩西在他們眼前出現，與耶穌談話。 5 彼得對耶穌說：「老師，我們在這裡真好！我們搭三座帳篷吧，一座給你，一座給摩西，一座給以利亞。」
6 其實彼得當時不知說什麼才好，因為他們都很害怕。 7 就在這時候，有一朵雲彩飄來遮住他們，雲彩中有聲音說：「這是我的愛子，你們要聽從祂。」 8 門徒立刻四處觀看，發現沒有其他人，只有耶穌和他們在那裡。
9 下山的時候，耶穌叮囑他們在人子還沒有從死裡復活之前，不要把剛才看見的告訴別人。
10 門徒把這話謹記在心，彼此議論「從死裡復活」這句話的意思。 11 他們問耶穌：「律法教師為什麼說以利亞必須先來？」
12 耶穌回答說：「以利亞固然要先來復興一切，但為什麼聖經上說人子一定會飽受痛苦、遭人蔑視呢？ 13 其實我告訴你們，以利亞已經來了，人們卻任意對待他，正如聖經的記載。」
治好污鬼附身的孩子
14 他們與其他門徒會合時，看見一大群人圍住門徒，幾個律法教師正在跟他們辯論。 15 大家一看到耶穌，都十分驚奇，立刻跑上去迎接祂。 16 耶穌問門徒：「你們跟他們辯論什麼？」
17 人群中有一個人說：「老師，我帶了我的兒子來找你，因為他被啞巴鬼附身。 18 每次鬼控制他，把他摔在地上，他就口吐白沫，咬牙切齒，全身僵硬。我請你的門徒趕走那鬼，他們卻辦不到。」
19 耶穌說：「唉，這不信的世代啊！我要跟你們在一起待多久，容忍你們多久呢？把他帶到我這裡吧。」
20 他們把那孩子帶到耶穌面前。那鬼一見耶穌，就使孩子抽搐，倒在地上打滾，口吐白沫。 21 耶穌問孩子的父親：「他這樣子多久了？」孩子的父親回答道：「他從小就這樣， 22 鬼常常將他扔進火裡或水裡，要害他的命。如果你能，求你憐憫我們，幫助我們吧！」
23 耶穌說：「如果你能？對於相信的人，凡事都有可能！」
24 孩子的父親立刻喊著說：「我信！但我信心不足，求你幫助我！」
25 耶穌看見人群都跑了過來，就斥責那污鬼：「你這個聾啞鬼，我命令你從他身上出來，不許再進去！」
26 那鬼發出喊叫，使孩子劇烈地抽搐了一陣，就出來了。孩子躺在地上一動也不動，大家都以為他死了。 27 但耶穌拉著他的手扶他起來，他就站了起來。
28 耶穌進屋後，門徒悄悄問祂：「我們為什麼趕不走那鬼呢？」
29 耶穌說：「要趕走這類鬼只有靠禱告[a]。」
再次預言受難
30 他們離開那裡，途經加利利。耶穌不想任何人知道祂的行蹤， 31 因為祂在教導門徒。祂說：「人子將被交在人的手中，被他們殺害，但三天之後，祂必復活。」 32 門徒卻不明白這句話的意思，又不敢問祂。
誰最偉大
33 他們回到迦百農的住所，耶穌問門徒：「你們一路上爭論些什麼？」
34 他們都沉默不語，因為剛才他們在爭論誰最偉大。 35 耶穌坐下，叫十二個門徒過來，對他們說：「誰想為首，就該在眾人中做最小的，作眾人的僕人。」 36 祂領了一個小孩子來，叫他站在門徒中間，又抱起他，對他們說： 37 「任何人為我的緣故接待這樣一個小孩子，就是接待我；凡接待我的，不單是接待我，也是接待差我來的那位。」
警戒犯罪
38 約翰對耶穌說：「老師，我們看見有人奉你的名趕鬼，就阻止他，因為他不是跟從我們的。」
39 耶穌說：「不要阻止他，因為沒有人奉我的名行過神蹟後，會很快毀謗我。 40 不反對我們的，就是支持我們的。 41 我實在告訴你們，若有人因為你們屬於基督而給你們一杯水喝，他也必得到賞賜。
42 「但若有人使這樣一個小信徒失足犯罪，他的下場比把大磨石掛在他脖子上扔到海裡還要慘。 43 如果你一隻手使你犯罪，就砍掉它！ 44 拖著殘廢的身體進入永生，勝過雙手健全卻落入地獄不滅的火中。 45 倘若你一隻腳使你犯罪，就砍掉它！瘸著腿進入永生， 46 勝過雙腳健全卻被丟進地獄！ 47 如果你的一隻眼睛使你犯罪，就剜掉它！獨眼進上帝的國，勝過雙目健全卻被丟進地獄。 48 在那裡，
『蟲是不死的，
火是不滅的。』
49 「每個人都要被火煉，像被鹽醃一樣。 50 鹽是好東西，但如果失去鹹味，怎能使它再鹹呢？你們裡面要有鹽，要彼此和睦。」

Mark 9
Lexham English Bible
9 And he said to them, “Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”
The Transfiguration
2 And after six days, Jesus took along Peter and James and John, and led them to a high mountain by themselves alone. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothing became radiant—extremely white, like no cloth refiner on earth can make so white.[a] 4 And Elijah appeared to them together with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter answered and[b] said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 (For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.) 7 And a cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!” 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus alone.
9 And as[c] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one the things that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead meant.[d] 11 And they asked him, saying, “Why do[e] the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 And he said to them, “Elijah indeed does come first and[f] restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”
A Demon-possessed Boy Healed
14 And when they[g] came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately the whole crowd, when they[h] saw him, were amazed, and ran up to him[i] and[j] greeted him. 16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” 17 And one individual from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought to you my son who has a spirit that makes him mute.[k] 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his[l] teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able to do so.[m] 19 And he answered them and[n] said, “O unbelieving generation! How long[o] will I be with you? How long[p] must I put up with you? Bring him to me!” 20 And they brought him to him. And when he[q] saw him, the spirit immediately convulsed him, and falling on the ground, he began to roll around, foaming at the mouth. 21 And he asked his father how long it was since this had been happening to him. And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often it has thrown him both into fire and into water, in order that it could destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have compassion on us and[r] help us!” 23 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able! All things are possible for the one who believes!” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and[s] said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!” 25 Now when[t] Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more!” 26 And it came out, screaming and convulsing him[u] greatly, and he became as if he were dead, so that most of them said, “He has died!” 27 But Jesus took hold of his hand and[v] raised him up, and he stood up. 28 And after[w] he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to expel it?” 29 And he said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer.”[x]
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection a Second Time
30 And from there they went out and[y] passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, 31 for he was teaching his disciples and was telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he[z] is killed, after three days he will rise.” 32 But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
The Question About Who Is Greatest
33 And they came to Capernaum. And after he[aa] was in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way about who was greatest. 35 And he sat down and[ab] called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And he took a young child and[ac] had him stand among them.[ad] And taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of the young children such as these in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me.”
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not prevent him, because there is no one who does a miracle in my name and will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 For whoever is not against us is for us. 41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you that he will never lose his reward.
Temptations to Sin
42 “And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it is better for him if instead a large millstone[ae] is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea. 43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than, having two hands, to go into hell—into the unquenchable fire![af] 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life lame than, having two feet, to be thrown into hell![ag] 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell, 48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not extinguished.’[ah] 49 For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes deprived of its salt content, by what can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
9 Apre sa Jezi di: “Nou mèt kwè m lè m di nou kèk nan nou ki la jodi a ap wè wayòm Bondye a vini ak puisans anvan nou mouri.”
Kèk nan disip yo wè Jezi ansanm ak Moyiz epi Eli
(Mat 17:1-13; Lik 9:28-36)
2 Sis jou apre sa, Jezi te mennen Pyè, Jak ak Jan sou yon tèt mòn byen wo. Se te mesye sa yo sèlman ki te avèk Jezi. Epi devan disip yo li te kòmanse transfòme. 3 Rad li te klere tou blan. Pa gen yon klowòks sou latè ki te ka fè yo blan konsa. 4 Epi, men Moyiz ak Eli te vin parèt ap pale ak Jezi.
5 Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: “Mèt, li bon pou nou ta rete isit la! Si ou dakò, m ap monte twa tant, youn pou ou, youn pou Moyiz epi youn pou Eli.” 6 Pyè pa t konnen sa pou li paske li menm ak lòt disip yo te ranpli ak pèrèz.
7 Apre sa, yon nwaj klere vin kouvri yo, epi yon vwa pale nan nyaj la, li di: “Sa a se pitit mwen, pitit mwen chwazi a, tande l lè l pale!”
8 Lè disip yo voye je vit gade toutotou, sèl moun yo te wè devan yo se Jezi ki te la avèk yo.
9 Pandan Jezi ak disip yo t ap desann mòn nan, li di yo pou yo pa di pèsonn moun sa yo sot wè a jouktan Pitit Lòm nan leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
10 Disip yo pa t pale pawòl la, men yo t ap diskite ant yo sou sa Jezi te vle di lè li te pale de “leve soti vivan nan lanmò a.” 11 Yo mande li: “Pou kisa pwofesè lalwa yo di fòk Eli vini[a] anvan?”
12 Jezi reponn yo: “Wi, Eli dwe vini anvan pou li mete tout bagay nan plas yo! Men poukisa Bib la di Piti lòm nan gen pou l soufri anpil, epi pèp la gen pou rejte li? 13 Men m ap di nou, Eli te vini deja, epi yo te fè sa yo te vle avèk li, jan sa te gentan ekri nan Bib la.”
Jezi delivre yon jèn gason anba yon move lespri
(Mat 17:14-20; Lik 9:37-43a)
14 Lè yo desann al jwenn lòt disip yo, yo wè yon foul moun ak direktè Lalwa ki t ap diskite ant yo. 15 Lè foul la wè Jezi yo te sezi anpil epi yo te kouri vin salye l.
16 Jezi di yo: “Sou kisa n ap diskite la ak direktè Lalwa yo?”
17 Yon nonm nan foul la di: “Mèt, mwen mennen pitit gason m nan ba ou. Li gen yon demon sou li ki fè l pa ka pale. 18 Epi, lè lespri a pran l, lespri a frape l atè, li kimen li manje dan l epi tout kò l vin rèd. Mwen mande disip ou yo pou yo ta chase move lespri a, men yo pa t kapab.”
19 Jezi reponn yo: “Bann moun san lafwa k ap viv nan peche. Pou konbyen tan ankò pou m rete avèk nou, pou m ap pran pasyans ak nou? Mennen pitit ou a ban mwen!”
20 Disip yo mennen jèn gason an bay Jezi. Lè move lespri a wè Jezi, li atake jèn gason an, li tonbe, li woule atè epi kim t ap sòti nan bouch li.
21 Jezi mande papa jèn gason an: “Depi konbyen tan li konsa?”
Papa a reponn li: “Li kon sa depi li te tou piti. 22 Anpil fwa lespri a voye l jete nan dife osinon nan dlo pou l touye l. Men si ou kapab fè yon bagay, tanpri gen pitye pou nou, ede nou.”
23 Jezi di papa a: “Poukisa ou di si ou kapab? Tout bagay posib pou moun ki kwè.”
24 Menm kote a, papa a di byen fò: “Mwen kwè, ede m pou m kwè pi plis.”
25 Lè Jezi wè foul la t ap vin pi gwo, li pali byen sevè ak move lespri a, li di l: “Movèzespri ki fè jèn gason sa a soud epi ki fè l paka pale a, mwen ba ou lòd pou sòti epi pou pa janm rantre sou li ankò!”
26 Movèzespri a pouse yon kri, li frape jèn gason an atè ankò, epi li sòti. Jèn gason an rete atè a tankou yon moun ki mouri, se sa ki fè anpil moun t ap di: “li mouri.” 27 Men Jezi pran men jèn gason an pou l ede l kanpe. Epi li kanpe.
28 Apre Jezi te ale lakay la. Lè disip yo te poukont yo ak li, yo mande l: “Poukisa nou pa t kapab chase move lespri a?”
29 Jezi reponn yo: “Kalite lespri sa yo se sèlman ak lapriyè[b] ou ka chase yo.”
Jezi pale sou lanmò li
(Mat 17:22-23; Lik 9:43b-45)
30 Apre sa, Jezi ak disip li yo kite kote yo te ye a, yo t ap vwayaje nan Galile, li pa t vle moun konnen ki kote yo te ye. 31 Li te vle anseye disip li yo sèlman. Li te di yo: “Yo gen pou yo trayi Pitit Lòm nan. Yo gen pou yo livre l anba pouvwa lèzòm. Yo gen pou yo touye l, men sou twazyèm jou a li gen pou l resisite.” 32 Men disip yo pa t konprann sa l te vle di, men tou yo te pè mande l sa pawòl la vle di.
Kilès ki pi gran?
(Mat 18:1-5; Lik 9:46-48)
33 Jezi ak disip li yo ale Kapènawòm, epi lè yo rive nan kay la, li mande yo: “Kisa nou t ap diskite sou wout la konsa?” 34 Disip yo pa reponn paske sou wout la yo t ap diskite pou konnen kilès nan yo ki pi gran?
35 Jezi chita, li rele douz disip yo epi li di yo: “Nenpòt moun ki vle premye se dènye pou li ye, epi li dwe sèvi tout moun.”
36 Se kon sa Jezi pran yon timoun, li mete l kanpe devan yo. Li kenbe timoun nan nan bra l epi li di yo: 37 “Nenpòt moun ki resevwa youn nan timoun sa yo nan non mwen, se mwen li resevwa. E nenpòt moun ki resevwa mwen, se pa mwen sèlman li resevwa, men tou, se moun ki voye m nan li resevwa.”
Nenpòt moun ki pa kont ou, li avèk ou
(Lik 9:49-50)
38 Apre sa Jan di Jezi: “Mèt, nou wè yon moun k ap sèvi ak non ou pou l chase demon. Nou eseye fè l sispann, paske li pa youn nan nou.”
39 Men Jezi di: “Pa anpeche l, paske pa gen yon moun ki fè yon mirak nan non mwen ki pral pale m mal apre sa. 40 Yon moun ki pa kont nou se pou nou li ye. 41 Mwen ba w garanti sa a, nenpòt moun ki bay w yon vè dlo paske ou pou Kris la, li p ap janm pèdi l.”
Mizangad sou koz ki fè moun peche
(Mat 18:6-9; Lik 17:1-2)
42 “Se va byen grav pou yon moun ki ta fè youn nan timoun sa yo ki mete konfyans nan mwen peche. Li ta pi bon pou li si yo ta mare yon moulen nan kou l epi voye l jete nan lanmè. 43 Si se men w k ap lakoz ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l. Li pi bon pou gen lavi ki p ap janm fini an ak yon men oswa yon pye pase pou w ta genyen de men w ak de pye w epi pou w al boule nan dife lanfè etènèl. 44 [c] 45 Si pye w fè ou peche, koupe l. Li pi bon pou gen lavi ki p ap janm fini an ak yon men oswa yon pye pase pou w ta genyen de men w ak de pye w epi pou w al boule nan dife lanfè etènèl. 46 [d] 47 Si se je w k ap lakoz ou tonbe nan peche, rache l. Li pi bon pou ou pou w ta antre nan wayòm Bondye a ak yon sèl je pase pou ou ta gen de je w epi w al nan lanfè, 48 kote vè pa janm mouri epi dife pa janm etenn.(A)
49 Tout moun gen pou sale avèk dife.[e]
50 Sèl bon wi, men si l pèdi gou sale l genyen an, kijan ou ka fè l sale ankò? Pa pèdi bon gou sale nou genyen an, epi viv nan lapè youn ak lòt.”

New International Version
Mark 9
New International Version
9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come(A) with power.”(B)
The Transfiguration(C)(D)
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John(E) with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white,(F) whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(G) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)
7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:(H) “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”(I)
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone(J) what they had seen until the Son of Man(K) had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.
11 And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man(L) must suffer much(M) and be rejected?(N) 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come,(O) and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”
Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed by an Impure Spirit(P)
14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.(Q)
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”(R)
24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene,(S) he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately,(T) “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.[a]”
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time(U)
30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man(V) is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him,(W) and after three days(X) he will rise.”(Y) 32 But they did not understand what he meant(Z) and were afraid to ask him about it.
33 They came to Capernaum.(AA) When he was in the house,(AB) he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” 34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.(AC)
35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”(AD)
36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms,(AE) he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”(AF)
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us(AG)
38 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”(AH)
39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40 for whoever is not against us is for us.(AI) 41 Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.(AJ)
Causing to Stumble
42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble,(AK) it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.(AL) 43 If your hand causes you to stumble,(AM) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell,(AN) where the fire never goes out.(AO) [44] [b] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble,(AP) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.(AQ) [46] [c] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(AR) pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,(AS) 48 where
49 Everyone will be salted(AU) with fire.
50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again?(AV) Have salt among yourselves,(AW) and be at peace with each other.”(AX)
