Mark 5 (BVW) · Opened

1Kǝ chandǝndǝ suhwaɗa kǝ hachahai Garasinawecha.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Kǝ tǝrtǝ Yǝso haya hur kommbawal, thlaakǝ nifa le nak tǝ ɓǝɓi shemeɗa, mbǝt shok tǝ'en mbǝt thlohmurcha ɓakna mbǝɗa Yǝso.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.

3Nifǝkǝn kwatmurcha naka mbǝt shoktǝ'en, nifǝsi la mbǝllakkǝ kǝnnanduwa chika tǝ chalalochiwa.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Kǝthlǝm kurɓafichǝ kǝnnandǝ harchi'en tǝ sarǝchi'en tǝ chalalocha, nat tǝkichu ɗǝɗahaǝn chalalo tǝkkǝnnaɗa sarǝ'en. Nga nifǝsi tǝ alchitafa la mbǝlakkǝ kǝssandǝhiwaThough 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.

5Nda fiɗikta tǝ fara la nakna kwat murchǝ tǝ ɗar shohlacha kǝnna nata tit ka'ǝn, paɗ kǝnna ɓursa ndǝ fat'enaɗi tǝ ngwicha.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Kǝ natǝn Yǝso langnga, paakǝnsi tǝ rahta ɗǝkna hǝmta mbanitǝkǝn.When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7Hwakǝn tǝ alchit tǝ kapat ɓurata ndakǝnwa: "Mǝ natu sǝtsa nji, Yǝso hweya Fara le nak mwanchin? A humuɗi tǝ Fara, mǝ fǝrinǝ pwanchiuwa.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!”

8Mbukǝn kichu kǝthlǝm nda Yǝso wa: "Chukisshafata nifiya sokǝn ɓǝɓi shemeɗa."For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Ndǝkǝn sahandǝ Yǝso wa: "Thlǝmmuwa kǝni?" A ngǝmmanwa: "Thlǝmnǝwa terchin, kǝthlǝm nakani oi."“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10A hwanaǝn Yǝso tǝ ndatwa: "Mǝ rǝkinǝ kanda mbǝnniyuwa."And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Kǝthlǝm mbǝnniyu kapat chaɓa katuchisi naka hǝrimtǝ nduk tǝ shohlata.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Ɓǝɓi shemechiyu hwanangnduwa: "Kǝ malaǝn kanda kǝ yimnda hur katuchiyu."So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13A ngǝmmang na kandǝsi. Thlaakǝ ɓǝɓi shemechiyu chekndakish, yimkǝnnda hur katuchiyu, katuchiyu shee ndǝ aru kumchit chap (2,000), a rah kǝnda ka hǝhhatta hur hawurta, tǝkkǝndǝhi nat ahur ama.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.

14Kǝ nat fa hǝrǝm katuchiyu kichu, rah kǝnda ka mbuta hǝmta, tǝ han hǝmchikǝn chek nofchakish ka nat i sǝkka.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Kǝ ɓatnda thlǝmmat Yǝso, nak ndǝ nifi nak soh tǝ ɓǝɓi shemecha fǝyu, ɗas tǝ njelecha fa mǝlla hur iɗi'en thlaakǝnnda lechik nda.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.

16Fichile sǝt fichi ǝnnat kǝnna hwaniteng na ndǝyu, ndǝkǝn chekandǝndǝ ɗwaachik kǝnna kanda, i kǝs kǝ lǝ ɓǝɓi shemeɗiyu tǝ katuchiyu.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Thlaakǝ nofchikǝn hwanang ndǝ Yǝso kǝ mallǝn thlet hǝmteng nandǝ hi.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Kǝ nat Yǝso yimta kommbawal, nifi soh nak tǝ ɓǝɓi shemeɗi fiiyu hwanaǝn Yǝso wa nan ɗǝtkakǝn.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Nat tǝ kichu Yǝso ngǝmmawusuwa, ndaǝnwa ɗu huri kǝ mbǝɗa fahchuwa, kǝ mbwa'angna kanda witǝ pǝktat ichi sutǝ Lǝmwanda tǝ haɗi haɗandufa.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.”

20Thlaakǝ nifiyu pǝɗakǝn ɗǝk na nata mbu i sandǝ ficha Dikafolis sakkǝtkǝn hǝmchǝ kum witǝ pǝktat i chi sandǝ Yǝso. Uf nofcha pǝɗang ǝnnatkǝn kandǝ fa.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Yim kǝ Yǝso hur kommbawal chaǝn kǝ mi chicheng le, ɓak nofchi oiya kǝtwurangndǝhi mǝllan paɗ mǝlla mi chicheng hawurkǝn.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Yunǝsǝ ǝrta naka kapat nifa a mbǝt humta Yahudawechihi, thlǝmkǝn wa Yayirus. Kǝ natǝn Yǝso himkǝnhi mbanitǝkǝn,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23nakna hwanandǝ ka'ǝn tǝ ndatwa: "Hwe'engna le nak nguɗeh, kǝ nuhhweya mǝlla miya murta, nja hwanuta tama kǝ ɗǝnna tǝkaharfa kǝthlǝm kǝ kǝnkaɗi."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.”

24Pǝɗak Yǝso tǝndi, kuwurkǝ nofchi kandǝ oi nangnda njekkathlǝndi.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Nuhnifǝssa mbǝnniyu hurak kum ngǝrǝnsǝ chap tǝ hafat thlǝrfwara fa.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26A sheetǝ pwanchǝ oi a hara fafǝr hamɓǝɓecha, tuɓwaɗǝ i nak sǝ'en nat, chika tǝ kichu mbǝsutǝ sǝmmǝchitwa hafatkǝn nakǝn kǝmban kǝmban.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.

27Kǝ sǝktǝn kussheng Yǝso, ɗǝkǝn tǝ ɗifitǝkǝn tǝ hur terǝ nofchiyu tǝka'ǝn hara njela'enfa.When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28Nak na yarǝwa: "Matǝkaɗi hara njela'enfa ni kǝndaɗi"For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Chatkichuyu thlarkǝ thlǝrfwarkǝn hi, sǝkkǝnsa fat'enwa kinaɗi.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Chatkichuyu sǝkkǝ Yǝso cheɗ alchǝta kishsha fat'en, tǝɓɓǝrkǝn hi hur terǝ nofcha ndakǝnwa: "Wun tǝkang hara njele'engnǝ fa?"At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Ngǝmang kimshechi'en wa: "Sa nat nofchǝ njekthlǝnjekthla, kanna ndatwa, wun tǝkukǝ harfa?"His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Kǝlak Yǝso hi kǝthlǝm kǝ nan ndu wun tǝkang harfa.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Nuhiyu kǝ sǝntǝn i sǝka fat'en lechikǝn, ɓakna mbǝsndi kopkǝnhi mbwaǝn nat kitchit i'sǝka.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.

34Ndaǝnwa: "Hwe'engna, fǝrkitchiɗeku kǝnuɗaɗi. Pǝɗu ngwalngwal, kinhafaɗekuɗi."“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Mǝlla ɗar shunda chat ɓak funa mbǝɗa Yayirus kapat nifa ndangnduwa: "Hwe'eku teppa miri! mǝ sǝk natu ɓahandǝ Malɗǝm paɗi?"While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Nattǝ kicchu Yǝso ɗufutǝ i'nda i nannda mbutuwa, ndangna kapat nifǝkǝnwa: "Mǝlechinuwa, so kǝn fǝru kit ndak."But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Malautǝ, chikka wun kǝ kurǝn ndǝwa tǝrkǝn Bitrus tǝ Yakubu tǝ Yohanna hwamman Yakubu.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Kǝ saatǝnda hura'a Yayirus kapat nifa, nak Yǝso nofcha kanda tita funa hwata.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Yimkǝnna hurikǝn, ndangnakandǝwa: "Kǝthlǝm mǝ natuni tita kǝ nuni nata hwata? Nuhhwaniya mǝruwa, tǝnakasaɓweni."He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Nangnda masanda masǝ njirfata. Chaǝn nofchi kisha hurikǝn nat, akǝn shin hwankǝn tǝ mankǝn, tǝ kimshechi'en fichile naka thlǝmmatkǝn, yimkǝnnda mbǝɗi nat nuhhwaniyu.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.

41Kǝskǝn har'en ndaǝnwa: "Talita kumi." (sakǝtkǝnwa: "Hannuhhweya, ndakiwa thla'u").Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Chat kichuyu thlaakǝ nuhhwaniyu nakna witahi. (hurat'en kumngǝrǝnsǝ chap). Nofchi naka mbǝnniyu pǝɗang ǝnatkǝnkandǝfa.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Kahang Yǝso thlǝmmachengnandǝ tǝ ndatwa mǝ sǝni nifǝ isǝkyawa, fǝramǝn ɗǝsǝmtǝ kǝ sǝmǝn.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
