Mark 5 (LAG) · Opened

1Yéesu na vapooji vaachwe vakafɨrɨra na nyambʉko ya iriva ra Galiláaya, vakɨɨngɨra ɨsɨ ya Vageráasi.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Yéesu ˆakakiime vii hara mashúwii, mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ ˆarɨ na mirimʉ mɨvɨ afúmire mbiríírii, akʉʉja, maa akalʉmana ne.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.

3Hara mbiríírii, noo kʉʉntʉ ʉwo mʉʉntʉ ˆiikaláa. Kusiina mʉʉntʉ ˆadaháa kumuchuunga baa na mɨnyololo tʉkʉ.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Achuungwáa na mɨnyololo mɨkonwii na pɨɨ́ngʉ mawulwii, ɨndoodʉmʉladʉmʉla, baa kusiina mʉʉntʉ ˆajáa na ngururu jo mʉdaha tʉkʉ.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.

5Sikʉ joosi uchikʉ na muusi, iikaláa mbiríírii na njuulwii, yootʉla isóso no kiisanasana na mawye.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6ˆAkamoone Yéesu kʉʉra, akamʉkɨbɨrɨra, maa akachwaama mbere yaachwe,When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7akatʉlatʉʉla isóso, yoosea, “Che woosaaka kʉrɨ nɨɨnɨ, weewe Yéesu Mwaana wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ ˆArɨ Mweerimweeri? Hoonɨ ilahe kwa Mʉlʉʉngʉ, sɨ ʉrɨ kuunturikirya tʉkʉ.”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!”

8Walʉʉsa jei, sa viintʉ Yéesu ajáa ʉʉséire, “Murimʉ mʉvɨ, fuma kwa ʉhʉ mʉʉntʉ!”For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Maa Yéesu akuuyurya, “Ani ʉsewáa?” Nowo ukuuyirya, ʉkasea, “Irina raanɨ nɨ Mayana na Mayana ya Valwi Nkoondo sa viintʉ tʉrɨ foo.”“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10Murimʉ mʉvɨ ukiilomboola maatʉkʉ vii kʉrɨ Yéesu, karɨ iikibirye na ɨsɨ yɨɨngɨ tʉkʉ.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Haaha, mbarɨmbarɨ ya lʉʉlʉ heehi na aho haantʉ, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte ufya wa nkaamba ˆjooriisha.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Ɨra mirimʉ mɨvɨ ɨkamʉloomba Yéesu, yoosea, “Tʉrekere, tʉkajɨɨngɨre jira nkaamba.”So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Yéesu akɨɨrekera ɨra mirimʉ mɨvɨ, ɨkafuma, ɨkɨɨta kɨɨngɨra jira nkaamba. Mirimʉ mɨvɨ ɨkɨɨngɨre ʉra ufya wa nkaamba mayana yavɨrɨ (2,000), nkaamba jikiihuunta, jikagirita, jikabʉrʉkɨra irivii, maa jikakwya joosi vʉʉ.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.

14Varíisi va jira nkaamba vakakʉʉrɨka itɨ́ɨjo, vakatwaala mʉlomo kwa vaantʉ ˆvajáa mawundii na múujii. Maa vakʉʉja noo laanga masáare ˆmeene yafʉ́mɨɨre.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15ˆVakafike kʉrɨ Yéesu, vakamoona ʉra mʉʉntʉ ˆajáa na mayana na mayana ya mirimʉ mɨvɨ, iíkyɨɨre, iivɨ́kɨɨre ɨngo, arɨ baa na mɨryʉʉngʉ yaachwe, maa vakoofa.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.

16Vara ˆveene viiyonera na miiso yaavo, vakavawyɨɨra vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ yara ˆmeene yajáa yafʉ́mɨɨre kwa ʉra mʉʉntʉ ˆajáa na mirimʉ mɨvɨ, na jira nkaamba.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Aho, vakaanda mʉloomba Yéesu alooke hara ɨsɨ ya meevo.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Yéesu ˆakaande kɨɨngɨra mashúwii, ʉra mʉʉntʉ ˆajáa na mirimʉ mɨvɨ akiiloombererya atamanyanʼye na Yéesu.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Yéesu akamʉsɨɨtɨra, yoosea, “Doma na meenyu, ʉkavawyɨɨre vaantʉ va meenyu ˆvyeene Ijʉva akʉtʉ́mamɨɨre masáare makʉʉlʉ, na ˆvyeene akʉláangire na riiso ra wʉʉja.”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.”

20Maa ʉra mʉʉntʉ akadoma, akaanda kaarya ʉko ɨsɨ ya Dekapóoli ˆvyeene Yéesu ajáa amʉtʉ́mamɨɨre, maa vaantʉ voosi vakatʉlʉvala.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Maa reerʉ, Yéesu akafɨrɨra na mashʉ́wa na nyambʉko ya iriva. ˆAkafike hara mbarɨmbarɨ ya iriva, mpuka nkʉʉlʉ ɨkamʉrɨɨngɨrɨra.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Akʉʉja mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ, irina raachwe Yaíiro, ʉmwɨ wa vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va sinagóogi. ˆAkamoone Yéesu, maa akawya majewii yaachwe.A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23Akiilomboola, yoosea, “Aaɨ, kahíínja kaanɨ nɨ kalwɨ́ɨrɨ ka inkwya. Nookʉloomba tʉdomanʼye, ʉkakasaasye na mʉkono waako vii, kahole kave nkaasʉ.”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.”

24Maa vakiilongoorya na Yéesu. Ɨra mpuka ɨkava yoomutuuba na yoomufiinda.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Aho, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte mʉʉntʉ muki ˆajáa na ndwáala yo fuma sakami ˆɨrɨ foo kwa myaaka ikimi na ɨvɨrɨ.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26Ajáa atʉrɨkɨra maatʉkʉ vii, sa ayeenda ʉwaangii akamala máari jaachwe joosi vʉʉ, baa hola tʉkʉ na ndwáala yaachwe ɨkakonkomala.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.

27ˆAkamʉteere Yéesu, akamutuuba kʉnʉ nyuma, akiifenyenkererya mpukii ya vaantʉ, maa akasaasya nkáancho yaachwe.When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28Abweeyya jei sa iiseáa kɨmoyomooyo, “Koonɨ nasáasiirye ɨngo ya Yéesu vii, hola ndɨrɨ.”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29ˆAkasaasye vii, sakami ɨkadeenʼya, akiiteera mʉvɨrɨ pwee, ahórire ɨra ndwáala yaachwe.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Hahara, Yéesu akataanga kwatɨɨte ngururu ˆjimufúmire, akavalandʉkɨra ɨra mpuka ya vaantʉ, maa akavuurya, “Nɨ ani asáasiirye ɨngo yaanɨ?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Vapooji vaachwe vakamʉsea, “Aaɨ, sɨ wookoona viintʉ mpuka ya vaantʉ yookiifiinda tʉkʉ wʉʉ? Sa che wookuurya, ‘Nɨ ani asáasiirye ɨngo yaanɨ?’ ”His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Maa kaa, yeeye akadoomererya laangɨra sa amoone ˆmweene amʉsáasiirye.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Ʉra mʉʉntʉ muki yootaanga ˆkɨmʉfʉ́mɨɨre, akiiturirya, akachwaama mbere ya Yéesu kʉnʉ yootetema nɨ woowa. Maa akalʉʉsa vyoosi ˆvimʉfʉ́mɨɨre.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.

34Yéesu akamʉsea, “Muhíínja waanɨ, kuruma kwaako kwakʉhóriirye. Tamanya na mwiikalo mʉʉja, ʉhole ndwáala yaako.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Mpɨɨndɨ Yéesu ˆajáa akaarɨ yoolʉʉsɨka, vakafika vaantʉ fuma kaayii kwa Yaíiro, ʉmwɨ wa vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va sinagóogi, maa vakamʉsea, “Muhíínja waako awʉ́lɨɨre. Amwɨ wootuuba mujuuwa mukiindya?”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Maa kaa, Yéesu sɨ ayakwaatya ayo masáare tʉkʉ, yeeye akamʉsea Yaíiro, “Kwiitweetya tʉkʉ, nduma nɨɨnɨ vii.”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Akavasʉmʉla vala Peéteri, Yaakúupu na Yooháani mudúúdi wa Yaakúupu vii, vamutuube. Akavakaanʼya vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ vareke kumutuuba.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38ˆVakafike kaayii kwa Yaíiro, vakateera ntáákwi, isóso, na vaantʉ voorɨra noo myaa.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Vakɨɨngɨra na nyuumbii, maa Yéesu akavasea, “Sa che mootʉla isóso no rɨra? Muhíínja sɨ akwíire tʉkʉ, nɨ alɨ́ɨre vii.”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Voovo vakamʉseka Yéesu na heenchʉ. Maa kaa, Yéesu akavakibirya voosi vafume na weerwii, akavaanɨrɨra íyo na taáta waala muhíínja na vapooji ˆveene ajáa novo hara. Maa vakɨɨngɨra na hara haantʉ muhíínja ˆajáa aláariiwe.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.

41Yéesu akamʉkwaata mʉkono muhíínja, maa akamʉsea, “Talíita, kúumi,” noo kʉsea, “Muhíínja, nakʉséire, inʉka!”Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Hahara, ʉra muhíínja akiinʉka, maa akaanda yeenda. Muhíínja ajáa atɨɨte myaaka ikimi na ɨvɨrɨ. ˆVakoone jeyyo, maa vakatʉlʉvala maatʉkʉ vii.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Yéesu akavakaanʼya, yoosea, “Karɨ mʉlʉ́ʉsaa ɨrɨ isáare kʉrɨ mʉʉntʉ baa ʉmwɨ vii tʉkʉ.” Maa akavasea vara vaantʉ vamʉheere chóorya ʉra muhíínja arye.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
