Mark 5 (IKZ) · Opened

1Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhakahika imwambʉkʉ wɨ ɨnyanza ya Gariraaya, mucharʉ cha Abhagɨraasi.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Hanʉ Yɨɨsu iikirɨ mubhwatʉ, ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aarɨ na amasambwa akarwa mʉmabhigi ganʉ gaarɨ zimbihɨra, akamuryarɨra Yɨɨsu.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.

3Ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo aarɨ ariikara mʉmabhigi ganʉ gaarɨ zimbihɨra. Aarɨ na amanaga, ataarɨ areho wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ aaturirɨ komobhoha nʉʉrʉ kwe emenyororo.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Bhaarɨ bhamʉbhʉhirɨ manga kaaru ne emenyororo kʉmagʉrʉ nɨ ɨbhɨrangʼani kʉmabhoko, nawe akabhɨtɨna bhyʉsi. Ataarɨ areho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kumuhiza.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.

5Ibhaga ryʉsi ubhutikʉ nu umwise aarɨ aragendagenda kuzimbihɨra na mʉbhɨgʉrʉ, ararɨgɨsa na kwingʼerangʼera na amabhwɨ.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Hanʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo aarʉʉzɨ Yɨɨsu kwa kore na kumuryarɨra, akamuhigamɨra.When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7Akarɨgɨsa kwiraka ikʉrʉ akabhuga, “Nɨ‑nakɨ na naawɨ, Yɨɨsu Umwana wa Mungu wi Igʉrʉ wa Bhyʉsi? Nɨrakwisasaama kuriina rya Mungu ʉtanyaacha.”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!”

8Akagambabhu kʉ kʉbha Yɨɨsu aarɨ aribhuuriirɨ, “Risambwa, nuurwɨ kʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ!”For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Yɨɨsu akaribhuurya, “Iriina ryazʉ wɨɨwɨ?” Rɨkamʉgarukirya, “Iriina ryanɨ, nɨ‑Bhasirikarɨ, kʉ kʉbha itwɨ, nɨ‑bhaaru kʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ.”“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10Risambwa rirya rɨkamwisasaama manga kaaru kʉbha atagaheebha mucharʉ kirya.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Kwarɨ na rihizʉ ikʉrʉ rya zingurubhɨ, rɨrariisha rusizʉ wɨ ɨkɨgʉrʉ.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Neho amasambwa garya gakabhuga, “Tʉrasabha utwisiririryɨ, tusikɨrɨ muzingurubhɨ zirya.”So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Yɨɨsu akagiisiririrya. Amasambwa gayo gakarwɨku ʉmʉʉtʉ wurya, gakaja muzingurubhɨ. Rihizʉ ryʉsi rya zingurubhɨ rɨkahiringita mwega ikihiringitʉ ɨkɨhaari, zɨkagwa mʉnyanza na kukwa. Zingurubhɨ ziyo zaarɨ zɨrahika bhɨkwɨ bhɨbhɨrɨ.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.

14Abhariisha bha zingurubhɨ bharya bhakaryara, bhakaraganʼya amangʼana gayo mʉzɨmbɨri. Abhaatʉ bhakaaza, korereke bhiirorere abheene ganʉ gakʉrirwɨ.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Hanʉ bhaahikirɨ kwa Yɨɨsu, bhakʉʉbhaha bhʉkʉngʼu korora wʉnʉ aarɨ na riribhita rya amasambwa ikɨɨrɨ, ibhʉhirɨ zengebho na ana amangʼɨɨni gakunaanirɨ.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.

16Bharya bhaarʉʉzɨ ganʉ gaamubhwɨnɨ wʉnʉ aarɨ na amasambwa na zingurubhɨ, bhakabha bharabhʉʉrɨra abhaatʉ abhandɨ amangʼana gayo.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Neho abhaatʉ bhakatanga kʉsabha Yɨɨsu arwɨ mucharʉ chabhʉ.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ akusikɨra mubhwatʉ, ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aarɨ na amasambwa akasabha Yɨɨsu kʉbha amwisiririryɨ bhahiranɨ nawe.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Nawe Yɨɨsu atamwisiririiryɨ, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Nuujɨ ɨwaanyu, ʉbhabhʉʉrɨrɨ amangʼana amakʉrʉ gɨ ɨbhɨgʉngi ganʉ Ʉmʉkʉrʉ akʉkʉrɨɨrɨ.”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.”

20Ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo akabhʉʉka akaja, akatanga kʉnyaraganʼya amangʼana Dɨkapʉʉri, amangʼana amakʉrʉ ganʉ Yɨɨsu aamʉkʉrɨɨrɨ. Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhakarʉgʉʉra.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhakaambʉka ɨnyanza nu ubhwatʉ kʉgarʉka imwambʉkʉ. Hanʉ bhaahikirɨ, riribhita ikʉrʉ rya abhaatʉ rikiibhiringɨra rusizʉ wɨ ɨnyanza.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Hayo akaaza ʉmʉkangati wʉmwɨ mwirwazɨrʉ, iriina ryazɨ Yairʉ. Hanʉ aarʉʉzɨ Yɨɨsu, akamujaku, akagwa mʉmagʉrʉ gaazɨ.A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23Akamwisasaama arabhuga, “Umuucha waanɨ murwɨrɨ, areenda kutinʼya. Nɨrasabha tujɨ omoteere amabhoko gaazʉ kʉmʉbhɨrɨ gwazɨ, korereke ahone.”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.”

24Yɨɨsu akahirana nawe. Riribhita rirya rɨkabha rɨramutuna, rimwirugutiriiryɨ bhʉkʉngʼu.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Mwiribhita rirya, kwarɨ nʉ ʉmʉkari wʉnʉ aarɨ nu ubhurwɨrɨ bhwɨ ɨngɨzi kwi imyaka ikumi nɨ ɨbhɨrɨ.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26Ʉmʉkari wuyo aarɨ anyaakirɨ bhʉkʉngʼu kuja kʉbhagabhʉ. Akamara ebhegero bhyazɨ bhyʉsi arahira kʉbhagabhʉ, atabhwɨnɨ hakɨrɨku, nawe bhokoongera kʉhaara.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.

27Hanʉ ʉmʉkari wuyo iigwirɨ ganʉ Yɨɨsu aakʉrirɨ, akahɨta mwiribhita rya abhaatʉ kwi inyuma, akakunʼyaku engebho ya Yɨɨsu.When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28Akakorabhu kʉ kʉbha akiigambɨra, “Nɨraakunʼyɨkubhu engebho yaazɨ, nɨrahora.”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Hayohayo ɨngɨzi ɨkatɨnɨka, akiiyigwa mʉmʉbhɨrɨ kʉbha ahʉrirɨ.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Rogendo rʉmwɨ Yɨɨsu akamenya kʉbha amanaga gaazɨ gakʉrirɨ emeremo. Akiichʉra, akabhuurya abhaatʉ bha riribhita, “Nɨ‑wɨɨwɨ wʉnʉ akuniryɨku zengebho zaanɨ?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhakamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Ʉrarora chɨmbu abhaatʉ bhaaru bhakʉhɨgana kukwisukaku! Na naawɨ ʉrabhuurya, ‘Nɨ‑wɨɨwɨ ankuniryɨku?’ ”His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Nawe akarora ɨnʉ nɨ ɨnʉ, korereke amorore wʉnʉ aamukuniryɨku.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Neho ʉmʉkari wurya akʉʉbhaha, akaaza akamugwaku mʉmagʉrʉ, ɨnʉ ararigita, kʉ kʉbha akamenya ganʉ gakʉriibhwɨ kwewe. Akamʉbhʉʉrɨra amaheene gʉʉsi.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.

34Yɨɨsu akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Muucha, ubhwisirirya bhwazʉ bhʉkʉhʉriryɨ. Ujɨ no omorembe, nangʉ ʉhʉriibhwɨ.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ akɨɨrɨ aragambana nʉ ʉmʉkari wuyo, abhaatʉ bhakaaza kurwa munyumba ya Yairʉ, ʉmʉkangati wi inyumba ya rirwazɨrʉ, bhakabhuga, “Yairʉ, tiga kʉnyaacha umwija, kʉ kʉbha umuucha waazʉ amarirɨ kukwa.”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Nawe hanʉ Yɨɨsu iigwirɨ amangʼana gayo, akabhʉʉrɨra Yairʉ, “Ʉtʉʉbhaha, isirirya.”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Yɨɨsu akagarucha abhaatʉ abhandɨ bhʉʉsi kʉbha bhatakangatanʼya nawe. Akaja na Peetero, Yaakobho na Yoohana umunyi wa Yaakobho.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Hanʉ bhaahikirɨ kunyumba ya Yairʉ, Yɨɨsu akabhona abhaatʉ bhararɨra na kwarama.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Akasikɨra munyumba, akabhuga, “Mʉrarɨrɨrakɨ? Umuucha wʉnʉ akɨɨrɨ kukwa, nawe ahindiirɨ.”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Riribhita rya abhaatʉ rikamoseka kwa kerege, nawe Yɨɨsu akabhahurucha bhʉʉsi igʉtʉ. Akagega wiisɨ, unina umwana na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhatatʉ, bhakaja ɨgatɨ ɨnʉ bhahindiryɨ umuucha.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.

41Akagwata umuucha wurya kokobhoko, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Tariita, ikumi!” enzobhooro yaku, “Umuucha, nɨrakʉbhʉʉrɨra, bhʉʉka!”Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Hayohayo, umuucha wuyo akiimɨɨrɨra, akatanga kogenda. Aarɨ ni imyaka ikumi nɨ ɨbhɨrɨ. Bhakarʉgʉʉra bhʉkʉngʼu.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Yɨɨsu akabharecha bhatabhʉʉrɨra wʉwʉʉsi ganʉ gakʉrirwɨ. Akabhabhʉʉrɨra abhiibhuri bhu umuucha wuyo bhamohe ibhyakurya.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
