Mark 5 (LUG) · Opened

1Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne batuuka emitala w’ennyanja mu nsi y’Abageresene.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Yesu bwe yali yaakava mu lyato omuntu eyaliko omwoyo omubi n’ajja gy’ali ng’ava mu malaalo.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.

3Omuntu ono yasulanga mu malaalo era yali alaluse nnyo nga tewakyali na muntu asobola kumusiba.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Emirundi mingi baagezangako okumussa ku mpingu n’okusiba amagulu ge n’enjegere naye byonna ng’abikutulakutula. Ne wataba na muntu w’amaanyi ayinza kumusiba kumunyweza.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.

5Naye bulijjo yatambulanga emisana n’ekiro mu malaalo ne mu nsozi. Yawowoggananga nga bw’akaaba era nga bwe yeesalaasala n’amayinja.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Awo bwe yalengera Yesu ng’akyali walako ku nnyanja n’adduka n’agenda eryato we lyagoba, n’asinza Yesu.When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7N’aleekaana nnyo nti, “Onjagaza ki, ggwe Yesu, Omwana wa Katonda, Ali Waggulu Ennyo? Nkwegayirira, olw’ekisa kya Katonda, tombonyaabonya.”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!”

8Kubanga Yesu yali alagidde omwoyo omubi okuva ku musajja.For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Awo Yesu n’amubuuza nti, “Erinnya lyo ggw’ani?” N’addamu nti, “Erinnya lyange nze Ligyoni, kubanga tuli bangi.”“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10N’amwegayirira nnyo aleme okumugoba mu kitundu ekyo.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Awo waaliwo eggana ly’embizzi nnyingi nnyo ku lusozi nga zirya.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Omwoyo omubi ne gwegayirira Yesu nti, “Tusindike mu mbizzi ziri.”So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Yesu n’abakkiriza, ne bava ku musajja ne bayingira mu ggana ly’embizzi. Awo eggana ly’embizzi lyonna ne liserengetera ku kagulungujjo ne lyeyiwa mu nnyanja, embizzi zonna ne zisaanawo.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.

14Awo abaali bazirunda ne badduka mangu ne bagenda bategeeze ab’omu kibuga ne mu byalo ebiriraanyeewo. Abantu bangi ne bajja okulaba ebibaddewo.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Ekibiina ky’abantu ne kikuŋŋaana awali Yesu, naye bwe baalaba omusajja eyaliko ligyoni ng’ayambadde bulungi era ng’ategeera bulungi, ne batya nnyo.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.

16Abo abaaliwo ne babategeeza ebyatuuka ku musajja eyaliko ddayimooni n’ebyatuuka ku mbizzi.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Awo abantu ne batandika okwegayirira Yesu abaviire!And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Yesu bwe yali ng’alinnya mu lyato, omusajja eyali abaddeko baddayimooni n’amwegayirira bagende bonna.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Yesu n’atakkiriza, n’amugamba nti, “Ddayo ewammwe mu bantu bo obabuulire ebintu byonna Mukama by’akukoledde era nga bw’akusaasidde.”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.”

20Awo omusajja oyo n’agenda ng’atambula mu Dekapoli (ebibuga eby’omu kitundu ekyo) ng’abuulira abantu Katonda bye yali amukoledde byonna. Bonna abaabiwulira ne bawuniikirira nnyo.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Awo Yesu n’awunguka mu lyato nate n’atuuka emitala w’ennyanja. Abantu bangi ne bakuŋŋaanira w’ali ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro erinnya lye Yayiro n’ajja n’agwa w’ali,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23n’amwegayirira nnyo ng’agamba nti, “Muwala wange abulako katono okufa. Nkwegayiridde jjangu omukwateko omuwonye.”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.”

24Awo Yesu n’agenda naye n’ekibiina ky’abantu kinene ne kimugoberera nga bagenda bamunyigiriza.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Mu kibiina omwo mwalimu omukazi eyali amaze emyaka kkumi n’ebiri nga mulwadde ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26Yali yeewuubye mu basawo bangi abaamujanjabanga okumala emyaka egyo gyonna; ne byonna bye yalina nga bimuweddeko, obulwadde ne butawona wabula okweyongera obweyongezi.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.

27Yali awulidde ebikwata ku Yesu. Bw’atyo n’ajja nga yeenyigiriza mu kibiina ky’abantu n’atuuka emabega wa Yesu, n’akoma ku kyambalo kye.When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28Kubanga yagamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Ne bwe nnaakoma obukomi ku kyambalo kye nzija kuwona.”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Awo olwakikomako, amangwago ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi ne kikalira n’ategeerera ddala ng’awonye.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Amangwago Yesu n’awulira ng’amaanyi agamuvuddemu, n’akyukira ekibiina ky’abantu n’abuuza nti, “Ani akutte ku kyambalo kyange?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Naye abayigirizwa be ne bamuddamu nti, “Ku bantu abangi bati abakunyigiriza oyinza otya okubuuza nti, ‘Ani ankutteko?’ ”His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Naye Yesu ne yeetoolooza amaaso ge mu bonna alabe oyo amukutteko.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Awo omukazi bwe yategeera ekituuseewo n’ajja eri Yesu ng’atidde nnyo era ng’akankana, n’agwa awo mu maaso ga Yesu n’amutegeeza amazima gonna.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.

34Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Omuwala, okukkiriza kwo kukuwonyezza, genda mirembe obulwadde bwo buwonedde ddala.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Naye yali akyayogera n’omukazi ababaka ne batuuka nga bava mu maka g’omukulu w’ekuŋŋaaniro, ne babikira Yayiro nti, “Omuwala afudde, noolwekyo tekikyetaagisa kuteganya Muyigiriza.”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Yesu n’awulira ebigambo ebyayogerwa wabula n’agamba omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro nti, “Totya, ggwe kkiriza bukkiriza.”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Awo Yesu n’aziyiza ekibiina kyonna okugenda naye, okuggyako Peetero ne Yakobo ne Yokaana muganda wa Yakobo.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Bwe baatuuka mu nju y’omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, n’alaba okwaziirana ng’abantu bakaaba nga bakuba ebiwoobe.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Bwe yayingira mu nju n’agamba abantu nti, “Mwaziiranira ki n’okukuba ebiwoobe? Omwana tafudde naye yeebase bwebasi!”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Awo abantu bonna ne bamusekerera nnyo. Naye n’abagamba bonna bafulume mu nju. N’atwala abazadde b’omwana n’abayigirizwa be abasatu n’ayingira nabo mu kisenge omwana mwe yali.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.

41Yesu n’akwata omwana ku mukono n’amugamba nti, “Talisa kumi!” amakulu nti, “Omuwala golokoka!”Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Amangwago omuwala eyali aweza emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, n’ayimirira n’atambulatambula. Abaaliwo ne bawuniikirira nnyo.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Naye Yesu n’abakuutira nnyo baleme okubuulirako omuntu yenna. Awo n’abalagira bawe omwana ekyokulya.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
