Mark 5 (EKA) · Opened

1Bo kehm rehnge go egbuk eto jehko go ejang bi Gerasa.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Jisos lohngo kan go egbuk, á kehm soro wane nne no lohng go edi ji alam akvne jolo no. Nne noo ona bele ebi etohko go ege atahng.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.

3Á lene go alahm akvne. Nnene we kpeem ma kak agbekobo.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Nkpel tvv bo jo kak-e agbekobo. Ngare anyehng anyehng nyi bo gba-e no, á tohng nya abo kiimi, fere ruumu nya akpade kiimi. Nne ne jolem, no jo mal gon-e.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.

5Atv a njul á jo yannge go alahm akvne, a awong, jo rabe tiim, fere jo rod atal, jo kadde elne, yehke alok.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Á jolo fee, eji á nyehne Jisos. Á kehm beke ba gbo jamme Jisos alahng,When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7kehm rabe tiim re, “Jisos ji Mmon no Esowo bi li go ero, a ba jen go egame? Tib go esi ji Esowo m ma-a gboongo re, wo ki-m kak erem!”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!”

8Á bungu jia, tib eji Jisos m-e tohko tong re, “Ebi etohko lohng-e!”For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Jisos kehm bahbe ebi etohko jio re, “Mbing enya mee?” Á kehm faange re, “Mbing enyame li re ‘Egomegom’. Tibre e li go egom.”“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10Á kehm soro gboongo Jisos re, á kꞌkam bo yehke go ejahbe jio.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Ellong akuk jolo o kpidi kpidi, jo li nsol go ewong.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Abi atohko nyao kehm kehme Jisos gboongo re, á lub tum bo, bo song yel akuk nyao go atahng.So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Jisos kehm taame. Abi atohko nyao kehm soro yake nne noo abo, tahm song yel akuk nyao go atahng. Bo kehm beke song fooro agbunggbung gbo yel go alahb tan. Kpee ellong akuk nio o jolo akuk atahltahl nkpel elon (2,000).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.

14Ane ba jo baabe akuk nyao, be ebo tahm, song tiingi go etahk, a abon ajahbe bako fvfo. Ane bao kehm lohngo re bo song nyehn ji ma lim.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Bo kehm bake goji Jisos, ba nyehn nne no bele ellong abi atohko go ege atahng. Á jehk eje sange sange, fere kak nsol go ngubjing. Bo kehm kehme elfahle.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.

16Ane ba nyehne no, kehm song tong ane bako ji ma lim nne no bele abi atohko, a ji ma lim akuk.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Bo kehm tongo Jisos re, á tahm ejahbe jio.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Eji Jisos yele egbang, nne no bele abi atohko kehm jo gboong-e re, “Nong, me n toon-a, wahr tahm!”As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Jisos taamem, á tong-e re, “Feere song goji ane eba, wo song tong bo ana ji Ntul ma lim ka-a, ana a ma fili Esowo ndon.”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.”

20Nne noo kehm tahme jo yannge go ejahbe na ebwubu bi bo jo lung re Dekapolis, jo tooro ji Jisos ma lim ka-e. Ane bao kpee ba wuku no, kpo bo esi area.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Jisos kehm yele egbang, feere egbuk eto jehko. Owo ane kame no ba rur senng-e kak. Á jolo kpidi kpidi go nkpe eto.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Ntubesi awohng go ellong atubesi ba etahk ero, no bo jo lung-e re Jairus kehm bake. Á nyehne kan Jisos, á kehm gboko jamm-e alahng go alata,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23kehm-e gboongo gbalee re, “Mmon ewame yahke kpo, titi, ba wo ba kun-e ebo go esi, eji á lꞌnob, fere bel elkpin.”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.”

24Jisos kehm soro tahm toono Jairus. Ellong ane tvv jo tob toono bo go njahm. Bo jo gbulu na gbul atemtem mbang mbang.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Nnenkal awohng jolo o, no alung sa-e nnahb ewubu a nnya ebal.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26Á jo nyehne erem sehng, eji abalimakahm tvv jo lim-e akahm. Á rannge akpohko enye kpee re á nob eyam bio, eyam jo kpe-e nyede na.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.

27Á wuku bada Jisos. Owo á kehm jene a ellong ane ba jo toono Jisos go njahm, ba kooro nsubu enye.When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28Tibre nnenkal noo bungu go ege eltim re, “N lꞌlub koor-e na kooro go ege a nsubu, m bahke nobo.”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Á kehm soro kooro nsubu enye. Alung eme soro mal. Á kehm soro kahn tvtv re, yeblohko nob eyam ebe.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Tvtv o Jisos kehm soro kahn re, nsahm m-e tele lohng. Á kehm keebe seenge ellong ane bao, kehm bahbe re, “Nne awo ma-m kooro go egama nsubu?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Abatꞌtoono ebe kehm faange re, “A kpꞌnyehne re, ane ebrur sehng, gana a kpꞌbahbe re, nne awo ma-m kooro!”His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Tvtv o Jisos kpi njange njange re á nyehn nne no koor-e no.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Nnenkal noo kehm soro kahn ji ma lim go ege a ngubjing, kehm bake goji Jisos a elfahle, a ekahme akahb, ba gbo jamm-e alahng, kehm-e soro tong etingitingi kpee.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.

34Jisos kehm tongo re, “Nnenkal, eltaame ena ebwahng ka wobnob. Song go eyebatahng! Woblohko nob eyam eba.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Eji Jisos jo bung jia, ane bandiki kehm soro lohng go etahk ntubesi etahk ero noo, kehm ba tong-e re, “Mmon ewa ebkpo. Jen ji wahng ka a kpꞌkpeke gbiingi nsoo?”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Jisos wuungem atung a jio ji bo bungu no. Á kehm tongo ntubesi no re, “Ka fahl, taame na taame!”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Jisos taamem re, nnene toon-e, sehngem Pita, Jems a Jon ji mmonannyehn Jems, bo ba, á taame re bo toon-e.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Bo kehm soro rehng etahk ntubesi noo. Jisos kehm nyehne egom jehko ji kpꞌlingi, fere nyehn bako ba kpꞌkake agohrobi, fere jo jokko na jokko edi.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Á kehm maade yel go ekpꞌkpa, song tong bo re, “Jen ji wahnge ń kpꞌlimi ana? Jen ji wahnge ń kpꞌlꞌling? Mmon noa ka kpo. Á kpꞌlale na.”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Bo kehm-e kehme elwolo. Á kehm nyame bo re, bo lohng elatahk. Owo á kehm lungu nde mmon, fere lung nnyehn mmon, a abatꞌtoono ebe, ane ara ba toon-e no. Bo kehm yele ekpꞌkpa jio ji mmon noo noongo no.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.

41Jisos song jabbe mmon noo go ebo, kehm bungu tong-e re, “Talita kumi,” ji lohngo re, “Mmon ewame, n tong-a re, wo mehl yiimi.”Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Á kehm soro mehl tvtv, soro kehme eljene yannge. Ngare nyi nkpokosi nyio limi no, yebkang ewubu a nnya ebal. Kpo bo esi area.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Jisos kehm bungu tꞌtahne re, bo kꞌtong nnene. Á kehm soro bung re, “Kaan ye nsol alehke, á li!”Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
