1 GLT وَجَاءُوا إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى كُورَةِ ٱلْجَدَرِيِّينَ. BSB BSB: On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.
2 GLT وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ لِلْوَقْتِ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقُبُورِ إِنْسَانٌ بِهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ، BSB BSB: As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.
3 GLT كَانَ مَسْكَنُهُ فِي ٱلْقُبُورِ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَرْبِطَهُ وَلَا بِسَلَاسِلَ، BSB BSB: This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.
4 GLT لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ رُبِطَ كَثِيرًا بِقُيُودٍ وَسَلَاسِلَ فَقَطَّعَ ٱلسَّلَاسِلَ وَكَسَّرَ ٱلْقُيُودَ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُذَلِّلَهُ. BSB BSB: Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.
5 GLT وَكَانَ دَائِمًا لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا فِي ٱلْجِبَالِ وَفِي ٱلْقُبُورِ، يَصِيحُ وَيُجَرِّحُ نَفْسَهُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ. BSB BSB: Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 GLT فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ رَكَضَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ، BSB BSB: When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
7 GLT وَصَرَخَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقَالَ: «مَا لِي وَلَكَ يَا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ؟ أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ بِٱللهِ أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَنِي!». BSB BSB: And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”
8 GLT لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ: «ٱخْرُجْ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلنَّجِسُ». BSB BSB: For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”
9 GLT وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟». فَأَجَابَ قَائِلًا: «ٱسْمِي لَجِئُونُ، لِأَنَّنَا كَثِيرُونَ». BSB BSB: “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
10 GLT وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرًا أَنْ لَا يُرْسِلَهُمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْكُورَةِ. BSB BSB: And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
11 GLT وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَ ٱلْجِبَالِ قَطِيعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ يَرْعَى، BSB BSB: There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
12 GLT فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ ٱلشَّيَاطِينِ قَائِلِينَ: «أَرْسِلْنَا إِلَى ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ لِنَدْخُلَ فِيهَا». BSB BSB: So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
13 GLT فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ لِلْوَقْتِ. فَخَرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْوَاحُ ٱلنَّجِسَةُ وَدَخَلَتْ فِي ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ، فَٱنْدَفَعَ ٱلْقَطِيعُ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْجُرْفِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ. وَكَانَ نَحْوَ أَلْفَيْنِ، فَٱخْتَنَقَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. BSB BSB: He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.
14 GLT وَأَمَّا رُعَاةُ ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ فَهَرَبُوا وَأَخْبَرُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَفِي ٱلضِّيَاعِ. فَخَرَجُوا لِيَرَوْا مَا جَرَى. BSB BSB: Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
15 GLT وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَسُوعَ فَنَظَرُوا ٱلْمَجْنُونَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ ٱللَّجِئُونُ جَالِسًا وَلَابِسًا وَعَاقِلًا، فَخَافُوا. BSB BSB: When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16 GLT فَحَدَّثَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا كَيْفَ جَرَى لِلْمَجْنُونِ وَعَنِ ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ. BSB BSB: Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
17 GLT فَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَطْلُبُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ مِنْ تُخُومِهِمْ. BSB BSB: And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18 GLT وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ طَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مَجْنُونًا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ، BSB BSB: As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
19 GLT فَلَمْ يَدَعْهُ يَسُوعُ، بَلْ قَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ وَإِلَى أَهْلِكَ، وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ كَمْ صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِكَ وَرَحِمَكَ». BSB BSB: But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”
20 GLT فَمَضَى وَٱبْتَدَأَ يُنَادِي فِي ٱلْعَشْرِ ٱلْمُدُنِ كَمْ صَنَعَ بِهِ يَسُوعُ. فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ. BSB BSB: So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
21 GLT وَلَمَّا ٱجْتَازَ يَسُوعُ فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْعَبْرِ، ٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَكَانَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. BSB BSB: When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
22 GLT وَإِذَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ ٱسْمُهُ يَايِرُسُ جَاءَ. وَلَمَّا رَآهُ خَرَّ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ، BSB BSB: A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet
23 GLT وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرًا قَائِلًا: «ٱبْنَتِي ٱلصَّغِيرَةُ عَلَى آخِرِ نَسَمَةٍ. لَيْتَكَ تَأْتِي وَتَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهَا لِتُشْفَى فَتَحْيَا!». BSB BSB: and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”
24 GLT فَمَضَى مَعَهُ وَتَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ وَكَانُوا يَزْحَمُونَهُ. BSB BSB: So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.
25 GLT وَٱمْرَأَةٌ بِنَزْفِ دَمٍ مُنْذُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، BSB BSB: And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
26 GLT وَقَدْ تَأَلَّمَتْ كَثِيرًا مِنْ أَطِبَّاءَ كَثِيرِينَ، وَأَنْفَقَتْ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَهَا وَلَمْ تَنْتَفِعْ شَيْئًا، بَلْ صَارَتْ إِلَى حَالٍ أَرْدَأَ. BSB BSB: She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.
28 GLT لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «إِنْ مَسَسْتُ وَلَوْ ثِيَابَهُ شُفِيتُ». BSB BSB: For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
29 GLT فَلِلْوَقْتِ جَفَّ يَنْبُوعُ دَمِهَا، وَعَلِمَتْ فِي جِسْمِهَا أَنَّهَا قَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنَ ٱلدَّاءِ. BSB BSB: Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 GLT فَلِلْوَقْتِ ٱلْتَفَتَ يَسُوعُ بَيْنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ شَاعِرًا فِي نَفْسِهِ بِٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلَّتِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ، وَقَالَ: «مَنْ لَمَسَ ثِيَابِي؟». BSB BSB: At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
31 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ: «أَنْتَ تَنْظُرُ ٱلْجَمْعَ يَزْحَمُكَ، وَتَقُولُ: مَنْ لَمَسَنِي؟». BSB BSB: His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32 GLT وَكَانَ يَنْظُرُ حَوْلَهُ لِيَرَى ٱلَّتِي فَعَلَتْ هَذَا. BSB BSB: But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
33 GLT وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ فَجَاءَتْ وَهِيَ خَائِفَةٌ وَمُرْتَعِدَةٌ، عَالِمَةً بِمَا حَصَلَ لَهَا، فَخَرَّتْ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْحَقَّ كُلَّهُ. BSB BSB: Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
34 GLT فَقَالَ لَهَا: «يَا ٱبْنَةُ، إِيمَانُكِ قَدْ شَفَاكِ، ٱذْهَبِي بِسَلَامٍ وَكُونِي صَحِيحَةً مِنْ دَائِكِ». BSB BSB: “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”
35 GLT وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ جَاءُوا مِنْ دَارِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱبْنَتُكَ مَاتَتْ. لِمَاذَا تُتْعِبُ ٱلْمُعَلِّمَ بَعْدُ؟». BSB BSB: While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”
36 GLT فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ لِوَقْتِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلَّتِي قِيلَتْ، فَقَالَ لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ: «لَا تَخَفْ! آمِنْ فَقَطْ». BSB BSB: But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
37 GLT وَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَتْبَعُهُ إِلَّا بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، وَيُوحَنَّا أَخَا يَعْقُوبَ. BSB BSB: And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 GLT فَجَاءَ إِلَى بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ وَرَأَى ضَجِيجًا. يَبْكُونَ وَيُوَلْوِلُونَ كَثِيرًا. BSB BSB: When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
39 GLT فَدَخَلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَضِجُّونَ وَتَبْكُونَ؟ لَمْ تَمُتِ ٱلصَّبِيَّةُ لَكِنَّهَا نَائِمَةٌ». BSB BSB: He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
40 GLT فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيْهِ. أَمَّا هُوَ فَأَخْرَجَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ، وَأَخَذَ أَبَا ٱلصَّبِيَّةِ وَأُمَّهَا وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَدَخَلَ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ ٱلصَّبِيَّةُ مُضْطَجِعَةً، BSB BSB: And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
42 GLT وَلِلْوَقْتِ قَامَتِ ٱلصَّبِيَّةُ وَمَشَتْ، لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتِ ٱبْنَةَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. فَبُهِتُوا بَهْتًا عَظِيمًا. BSB BSB: Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.
43 GLT فَأَوْصَاهُمْ كَثِيرًا أَنْ لَا يَعْلَمَ أَحَدٌ بِذَلِكَ. وَقَالَ أَنْ تُعْطَى لِتَأْكُلَ. BSB BSB: Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
