Mark 9

1 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

1 耶穌又對他們說：「我實在告訴你們，站在這裏的，有人在沒嘗死味以前，必要看見上帝的國大有能力臨到。」

2 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

2 過了六天，耶穌帶着彼得、雅各、約翰暗暗地上了高山，就在他們面前變了形像，

3 His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

3 衣服放光，極其潔白，地上漂布的，沒有一個能漂得那樣白。

4 And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

4 忽然，有以利亞同摩西向他們顯現，並且和耶穌說話。

5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 彼得對耶穌說：「拉比 ，我們在這裏真好！可以搭三座棚，一座為你，一座為摩西，一座為以利亞。」

6 For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

6 彼得不知道說甚麼才好，因為他們甚是懼怕。

7 Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

7 有一朵雲彩來遮蓋他們；也有聲音從雲彩裏出來，說：「這是我的愛子，你們要聽他。」

8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

8 門徒忽然周圍一看，不再見一人，只見耶穌同他們在那裏。

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

9 下山的時候，耶穌囑咐他們說：「人子還沒有從死裏復活，你們不要將所看見的告訴人。」

10 So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

10 門徒將這話存記在心，彼此議論「從死裏復活」是甚麼意思。

11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

11 他們就問耶穌說：「文士為甚麼說以利亞必須先來？」

12 He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?

12 耶穌說：「以利亞固然先來復興萬事；經上不是指着人子說，他要受許多的苦被人輕慢呢？

13 But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

13 我告訴你們，以利亞已經來了，他們也任意待他，正如經上所指着他的話。」

14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

14 耶穌到了門徒那裏，看見有許多人圍着他們，又有文士和他們辯論。

15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

15 眾人一見耶穌，都甚希奇，就跑上去問他的安。

16 “What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

16 耶穌問他們說：「你們和他們辯論的是甚麼？」

17 Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

17 眾人中間有一個人回答說：「夫子，我帶了我的兒子到你這裏來，他被啞巴鬼附着。

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 it out, but they were unable.”

18 無論在哪裏，鬼捉弄他，把他摔倒，他就口中流沫，咬牙切齒，身體枯乾。我請過你的門徒把鬼趕出去，他們卻是不能。」

19 “O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

19 耶穌說：「噯！不信的世代啊，我在你們這裏要到幾時呢？我忍耐你們要到幾時呢？把他帶到我這裏來吧。」

20 So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

20 他們就帶了他來。他一見耶穌，鬼便叫他重重地抽瘋，倒在地上，翻來覆去，口中流沫。

21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

21 耶穌問他父親說：「他得這病有多少日子呢？」回答說：「從小的時候。

22 “It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

22 鬼屢次把他扔在火裏、水裏，要滅他。你若能做甚麼，求你憐憫我們，幫助我們。」

23 “If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

23 耶穌對他說：「你若能信，在信的人，凡事都能。」

24 Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

24 孩子的父親立時喊着說 ：「我信！但我信不足，求主幫助。」

25 When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

25 耶穌看見眾人都跑上來， 就斥責那污鬼，說：「你這聾啞的鬼，我吩咐你從他裏頭出來，再不要進去！」

26 After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

26 那鬼喊叫，使孩子大大地抽了一陣瘋，就出來了。孩子好像死了一般，以致眾人多半說：「他是死了。」

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

27 但耶穌拉着他的手，扶他起來，他就站起來了。

28 After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

28 耶穌進了屋子，門徒就暗暗地問他說：「我們為甚麼不能趕出他去呢？」

29 Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

29 耶穌說：「非用禱告 ，這一類的鬼總不能出來 。」

30 Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

30 他們離開那地方，經過加利利；耶穌不願意人知道。

31 because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”

31 於是教訓門徒，說：「人子將要被交在人手裏，他們要殺害他；被殺以後，過三天他要復活。」

32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

32 門徒卻不明白這話，又不敢問他。

33 Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

33 他們來到迦百農。耶穌在屋裏問門徒說：「你們在路上議論的是甚麼？」

34 But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

34 門徒不作聲，因為他們在路上彼此爭論誰為大。

35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”

35 耶穌坐下，叫十二個門徒來，說：「若有人願意作首先的，他必作眾人末後的，作眾人的用人。」

36 Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

36 於是領過一個小孩子來，叫他站在門徒中間，又抱起他來，對他們說：

37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

37 「凡為我名接待一個像這小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，不是接待我，乃是接待那差我來的。」

38 John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

38 約翰對耶穌說：「夫子，我們看見一個人奉你的名趕鬼，我們就禁止他，因為他不跟從我們。」

39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

39 耶穌說：「不要禁止他；因為沒有人奉我名行異能，反倒輕易毀謗我。

40 For whoever is not against us is for us.

40 不敵擋我們的，就是幫助我們的。

41 Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

41 凡因你們是屬基督，給你們一杯水喝的，我實在告訴你們，他不能不得賞賜。」

42 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

42 「凡使這信我的一個小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，扔在海裏。

43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

43 倘若你一隻手叫你跌倒，就把它砍下來；

44

44 你缺了肢體進入永生，強如有兩隻手落到地獄，入那不滅的火裏去。

45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

45 倘若你一隻腳叫你跌倒，就把它 砍下來；

46

46 你瘸腿進入永生，強如有兩隻腳被丟在地獄裏。

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 to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

47 倘若你一隻眼叫你跌倒，就去掉它；你只有一隻眼進入上帝的國，強如有兩隻眼被丟在地獄裏。

48 where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

48 在那裏，蟲是不死的，火是不滅的。

49 For everyone will be salted with fire.

49 因為必用火當鹽醃各人。

50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

50 鹽本是好的，若失了味，可用甚麼叫它再鹹呢？你們裏頭應當有鹽，彼此和睦。」
