Mark 5 (CUG) · Opened

1Jisɔs bəh bwa bu bə mbaŋ daŋ kinchwɔ kimbum ka buku tsə i waka, i kimbu ki bəni bə Gɛlasen wə.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Si wi nì bukuki i ŋgwuki mə, wi baŋsi bəh mi widɔkɔ biŋ'waka bichu njiŋsi wi, num wi buku i bita biə bə nì ləəki bəni yɛiŋ.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.

3Mi wiwɔ nì nɔki i bita biwɔ mə. Mi widɔkɔ kɔbi fɛiŋ wə wi nì kɔ i kaŋa wi, na bəh nsəŋ.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4I kaŋ yiduli wə, bə nì shiki jiəki wi i biŋkɔm wə, kaŋa tsɛ́iŋ yi bəh bənsəŋ, wi guku təiŋyi bənsəŋ bəwɔ, shakyi biŋkɔm. Mi nì mɔŋ wə wi nì kɔ i kaŋa wi.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.

5Mi wiwɔ nì fiəliki nnyaki i bita biwɔ yaka wi tsə buku i ŋkwuŋ wə nchɔkɔ bəh nshi, wamyi, kwɔksi gwu yi bəh kitəh.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Si wi yɛiŋ Jisɔs wi kɛiŋ nanu, wi yɔkɔ tsə tum binyu i wi nshiŋ,When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7wi də bwili bəh ŋga a, “Jisɔs Waiŋ Nyɔ wə wi kɔ Fwu wi Biɛiŋ Bichi wə, wɔ nəŋki nə i mih wə a? Mih tsâki wɔ i yɛli wi Nyɔ wə kiə wɔ ki nyâ kə ŋgəkə i mih.”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!”

8Wi nì dzakaki yakadəiŋ, kɔm Jisɔs nì kɔ wi kaŋyi lɔ a, “Kiŋ'waka kichu kələ bûku i mi wələ wə.”For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Jisɔs bikə i wi a, “Yɛli wa kɔ ndə.” Wi chukuli a, “Yɛli wuŋ kɔ mbaŋ, kɔm buku duki lə.”“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10Si wi chukuli yakadəiŋ, ka tsaki Jisɔs a fɛiŋ fɛiŋ a wi ma kɔ̂ŋŋ bɔ i kimbu kələ wə.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11A nì kɔ yaka mbaŋ wi bifi biduli dzi i ŋgaŋni chɛiŋ fɛiŋ.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Biŋ'waka bichu biwɔ ka tsa Jisɔs a, “Chîŋsi buku num i bifi biə yaka wə, ma buku liə i bi wə.”So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Jisɔs bum. Ayaka biŋ'waka biwɔ ka buku i mi wiwɔ wə, tsə liə i bifi wə. Mbaŋ wiwɔ nì kɔ bifi ka bənchuku bəfa. Bi sɛiŋ shi i fəŋ wə, shi tsə gbɔyi i bɔkɔ yiwɔ wə fɛiŋ ləŋ ka kpiyi.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.

14Bəni bə̀ bɔ nì tɔkniki bəh bifi biwɔ dza fɛiŋ, gɛiŋ, tsə fuku gia yiwɔ i kwili kintəəŋ bəh i di bichi wə fɛiŋ. Bəni ka wɔkɔ, buku dzə i yɛiŋ gia yə yi si num.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Bɔ dzə i di biə Jisɔs nì kɔ, yɛiŋ mi wə mbaŋ wi bəchinda bə ŋkpɛli nì shiki njiŋsiki wi, num wi shinum fɛiŋ, ka lɔh bəmbuŋ bu, num mfi bi fiəni dzə. Bɔ lwa na bəh ŋga.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.

16Bəni bə̀ bɔ nì yɛiŋ gia yə yi num, ka fuku i bəni si yi nì num bəh mi wə mbaŋ wi biŋ'waka bichu biə nì kɔ i wi wə, i tasi bəh gia yi bifi.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Si bɔ wɔkɔ yakadəiŋ, yisi i tsaki Jisɔs a wi nyə̂ i di bibɔ wə.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Jisɔs ka liə i ŋgwuki mə, mi wə bəchinda bə ŋkpɛli nì buku i gwu yi mə ka tsaki Jisɔs a bɔ wi nyə.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Jisɔs nəiŋ, ka dzaka i wi a, “Nyə̂ tsə̂ i wɔ dzu, ma wɔ tsə̂ fûku i bəni ba gia yə Bah fə i wɔ, bəh si wi kwasi nshɛiŋ i wɔ.”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.”

20Ayakadəiŋ, mi wiwɔ ka nyə, tsə ka nyaniki fukuki i tumi kichi kə bə bɔɔŋki a Kikwili Jwɔfi, gia yə Jisɔs fə i wi. Bəni ka wɔkɔ yaka, num lɔ bəh ŋkaŋyi.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Jisɔs fiəni daŋ i ŋgwuki wə tsə i kiwuŋ kəyaka wə i kɔmsi tsə i kinchwɔ kimbum kpəŋ, mbaŋ wi bəni chu juŋni dzə fɛiŋ.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Tikwili wi juŋ yi tsani widɔkɔ ka dzə fɛiŋ, yɛli wi num Jaylus. Si wi yɛiŋ Jisɔs, ka tsə tum binyu i wi nshiŋ,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23tsa wi a fɛiŋ fɛiŋ ka dzaka a, “Waiŋ wuŋ wi nchiŋ wi kpaŋni kɔ a i kpi. Mntee wɔ, dzə̂ ma wɔ kɔ̂m kaŋ ya i wi wə ma wi bɔnih ka wi ma kpi”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.”

24Jisɔs ka dza bɛiŋ bəh wi ka tsəki, mbaŋ wi bəni kwu biəli Jisɔs faaŋni.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Kpaŋa widɔkɔ nì kɔlə i kintəəŋ ki mbaŋ wiwɔ wə num jɔbi wi shi baaŋ a baaŋni i jía wə jwɔfi ntsɔ yifa.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26Wi nì kɔ wi bɔh nalə i bəni bə tsa bəduli chɛiŋ, bəkəli biɛiŋ bichi biə wi nì kaŋaki, jwɛiŋ tsə a ninshiŋ tsəni.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.

27Si wi nì kɔ wi wɔkɔ lɔ kɔm Jisɔs, wi ka dzə i wi jum i mbaŋ kintəəŋ, kɔm mbuŋ wi,When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28kɔm wi nì kɔ wi dzaka i wi shɔm a, “Mih ka kɔm na a mbuŋ wi, ma mih nì bɔnih.”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Si wi nì kɔm yakadəiŋ, jwɛiŋ yi kaa akisəkə. Miŋkpaŋa wiwɔ wɔkɔ na i gwu yi wə si wi bɔnih.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Jisɔs ka wɔkɔ asi ŋga buku i gwu yi wə, wi fiəni gwu akisəkə, bikə i bəni a, “A kɔm ndə mbuŋ wuŋ a?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Bwa bu bə mbaŋ chukuli i wi a, “Wɔ yɛiŋ si bəni faaŋniki wɔ, wɔ chu bikə mi wə wi kɔm wɔ a?”His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Jisɔs baaŋ a tsɛiŋki i yɛiŋ mi wə wi kɔm wi.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Ayakadəiŋ, kpaŋa wiwɔ ka kiə gia yə yi num bəh wi, wi ka dzə, lwa nyumi, tum binyu i Jisɔs nshiŋ fuku ŋkɔŋ wi wichi i wi.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.

34Jisɔs dzaka i wi a, “Waiŋ wuŋ, shɔm ya yə wɔ jiə i mih yi fə wɔ bɔnih lɔ, tsə̂ bindzɔŋ. Wɔ ta lɔ i jwɛiŋ ya wə.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Asi Jisɔs ni kɛiŋki wi dzaka i miŋkpaŋa wiwɔ yakadəiŋ, bəni bədɔkɔ dzə fɛiŋ num bɔ nyə i juŋ yi Jaylus wə tikwili wi juŋ yi tsani, dzaka i wi a, “Waiŋ wa kpi lɔ. Ma chu nyâ ŋgəkə i Mi wi Lanini wələ?”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Si bɔ dzaka yakadəiŋ, Jisɔs wɔkɔ, ayakalə wi fə aka wi ka wɔkɔ dəkə ka dzaka i Jaylus a, “Kiə wɔ ki lwâ kə, jîə a shɔm ya i mih shəŋ.”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Asi bɔ nì tsəki, Jisɔs ka bum dəkə a mi widɔkɔ bîəli wi a kɔbi a Bita bəh Jɛm bəh Jɔn wə waiŋnih Jɛm.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Asi bɔ ni tsə buku i juŋ yi tikwili wi juŋ yi tsani wə, Jisɔs yɛiŋ si bəni gɔkɔki di bəh midɛm fɛiŋ.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Wi liə dzu, bikə a, “Mbɛiŋ gɔkɔki di bəh midɛm kɔm nə? Waiŋ wiwɔ ka kpi dəkə, wi nɔki num nɔni.”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Bɔ ka suŋuki lɔ wi suŋuni. Wi dza bwili bəni bəchi i biŋ, dzɔ shəŋ tii waiŋ bəh nih waiŋ bəh bəni bu bə mbaŋ bətali bəh bɔ liə tsə i di biə waiŋ wiwɔ nì nɔki.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.

41Wi kaŋa waiŋ wiwɔ i tsɛiŋ wə dzaka i já yibɔ a, “Talita kumi!” Yi num a, “Waiŋkpaŋni, mih dzakaki i wɔ, dzâ bɛiŋ.”Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Akisəkə yakadəiŋ, wi ka dza bɛiŋ ka nyani. Waiŋkpaŋni wiwɔ nì kɔ jía jwɔfi ntsɔ yifa. Bɔ yɛiŋ yaka dzaka wɔm bɔ.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Jisɔs kiŋ i bɔ nalə a kiə bɔ ki fə̂ kə a mi widɔkɔ kîə gia yə yi num, ka dzaka a bɔ tsɛiŋ fiɛŋ wi dzi.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
