Marcos 9
1Y les dijo: “En verdad, os digo, entre los que están aquí, algunos no gustarán la muerte sin que hayan visto el reino de Dios venido con poder”. 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.2Y seis días después, tomó Jesús consigo a Pedro, a Santiago y a Juan, y los llevó solos, aparte, a un alto monte, y se transfiguró a su vista. And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.3Sus vestidos se pusieron resplandecientes y de tal blancura; que no hay batanero sobre esta tierra, capaz de blanquearlos así. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.4Y se les aparecieron Elías y Moisés y conversaban con Jesús. 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.”5Entonces, Pedro dijo a Jesús: “Rabí, es bueno que nos quedemos aquí. Hagamos, pues, aquí tres pabellones, uno para ti, uno para Moisés, y uno para Elías”. For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.6Era que no sabía lo que decía, porque estaban sobrecogidos de temor. And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”7Vino, entonces, una nube que los cubrió con su sombra, y de la nube una voz se hizo oír: “Este es mi Hijo, el Amado. ¡Escuchadlo!”. And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.8Y de repente, mirando todo alrededor, no vieron a nadie con ellos, sino a Jesús solo. 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.9Cuando bajaban del monte, les prohibió referir a nadie lo que habían visto, mientras el Hijo del hombre no hubiese resucitado de entre los muertos. And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.10Y conservaron lo acaecido dentro de sí, discurriendo “qué podría significar eso de resucitar de entre los muertos”. And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”11Y le hicieron esta pregunta: “¿Por qué, pues, dicen los escribas que Elías debe venir primero?” 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.12Respondioles: “Elías, en efecto, vendrá primero y lo restaurará todo. Pero ¿cómo está escrito del Hijo del hombre, que debe padecer mucho y ser vilipendiado? 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.”13Pues bien, Yo os declaro: en realidad Elías ya vino e hicieron con él cuanto les plugo, como está escrito de él”. And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.14Llegaron, entretanto, a los discípulos y vieron un gran gentío que los rodeaba, y escribas que discutían con ellos. And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.15Toda esta multitud en cuanto lo vio se quedó asombrada y corrió a saludarlo. And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”16Preguntoles: “¿Por qué discutís con ellos?” And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.17Respondiole uno de la multitud: “Maestro, te he traído a mi hijo, que tiene un demonio mudo. 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.”18Y cuando se apodera de él, lo zamarrea y él echa espumarajos, rechina los dientes y queda todo rígido. Y pedí a tus discípulos que lo expulsasen, y no han podido”. 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.”19Entonces, Él les respondió y dijo: “Oh raza incrédula, ¿hasta cuándo habré de estar con vosotros? ¿Hasta cuándo habré de soportaros? ¡Traédmelo!”. 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.20Y se lo trajeron. En cuanto lo vio, el espíritu lo zamarreaba (al muchacho); y caído en el suelo, se revolvía echando espumarajos. And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.21Y preguntó al padre: “¿Cuánto tiempo hace que esto le sucede?” Respondió: “Desde su infancia; 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.”22y a menudo lo ha echado, ora en el fuego, ora en el agua, para hacerlo morir. Pero si Tú puedes algo, ayúdanos, Y ten compasión de nosotros”. But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”23Replicole Jesús: “¡Si puedes! ... Todo es posible para el que cree”. And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”24Entonces, el padre del niño se puso a gritar: “¡Creo! ¡Ven en ayuda de mi falta de fe!” 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.”25Y Jesús viendo que se aproximaba un tropel de gente, conminó al espíritu diciéndole: “Espíritu mudo y sordo, Yo te lo mando, sal de él, y no vuelvas a entrar más en él”. 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.”26Y, gritando y retorciéndole en convulsiones, salió. Y quedó el niño como muerto, y así muchos decían que había muerto. But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.27Pero Jesús, tomándolo de la mano, lo levantó y él se tuvo en pie. And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”28Cuando hubo entrado en casa, los discípulos le preguntaron en privado: “¿Por qué, pues, no pudimos nosotros expulsarlo?” And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”29Les dijo: “Esta casta no puede ser expulsada sino con la oración y el ayuno”. And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.30Partiendo de allí, pasaron a través de Galilea, y no quería que se supiese; 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.”31porque enseñó esto a sus discípulos: “El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres y lo harán morir; y tres días después de su muerte resucitará?” But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.32Pero ellos no comprendieron estas palabras y temían preguntarle. And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”33Entretanto, llegaron a Cafarnaúm; y cuando estuvo en su casa, les preguntó: “¿De qué conversabais en el camino?”. But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.34Mas ellos guardaron silencio, porque habían discutido entre sí, durante el camino, sobre quien sería el mayor. 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.”35Entonces, sentose, llamo a los Doce y les dijo: “Si alguno quiere, ser el primero, deberá ser el último de todos y el servidor de todos”. And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:36Y tomando a un niño, lo puso en medio de ellos, y abrazándolo, les dijo: “Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.”37“El que recibe a uno de estos niños en mi nombre, a Mí me recibe; y el que a Mí me recibe, no me recibe a Mí, sino a Aquel que me envió”. 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.”38Díjole Juan: “Maestro, vimos a un hombre que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre, el cual no nos sigue; y se lo impedíamos, porque no anda con nosotros”. 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.39Pero Jesús dijo: “No se lo impidáis, porque nadie, haciendo milagro por mi nombre, será capaz de hablar luego mal de Mí. For whoever is not against you is for you.40Porque quien no está contra nosotros, por nosotros está. 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.41Quien os diere a beber un vaso de agua, por razón de que sois de Cristo, en verdad os digo, no perderá su recompensa”. 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.42Quien escandalizare a uno de estos pequeñitos que creen, más le valdría que le atasen alrededor de su cuello una piedra de molino de las que mueve un asno, y que lo echasen al mar. 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,43Si tu mano te escandaliza, córtala: más te vale entrar en la vida manco, que irte, con tus dos manos, a la gehenna, al fuego que no se apaga. [ where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.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,45Y si tu pie te escandaliza, córtalo: más te vale entrar en la vida cojo que ser, con tus dos pies, arrojado a la gehenna. [ where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.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,47Y si tu ojo te escandaliza, sácalo: más te vale entrar en el reino de Dios teniendo un solo ojo que con tus dos ojos ser arrojado a la gehenna, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.48donde “el gusano de ellos no muere y el fuego no se apaga”. For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.49Porque cada uno ha de ser salado con el fuego. La sal es buena; mas si la sal se vuelve insípida, ¿con qué la sazonaréis? Tened sal en vosotros mismos y estad en paz unos con otros. 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.”
