1Jiso bɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo daŋ mamasi wuyu bo bu wuŋ kwege, kimbe ki bamii ba Gɛlasɛŋ le.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2No wu gɛ̀ bude a ŋguh le, wu tasɛ bɛ muh mu wù kiyo kì yiide gɛ̀ njiiŋse bɛ wu, wu bu afuuŋ yì ba gɛ̀ jiiyi bamii yo le.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.

3Muh wuyu to wu chee afuuŋ yiyu le. Muh nyu gɛ yu wù taŋlo wu kaaŋ wu mo bɛ bancha gɛ.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Kiŋgane kì duude le ba gɛ̀ leese wu kinfaŋa le, ba kaaŋ chiaaŋ ye bɛ bancha, wu suume bancha bayu, wu saayɛ binfaŋa biyu. Gɛ muh gɛ̀ kɛme bvuŋga bvù taŋlo wu jijɛ wu le gɛ.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.

5Muh wuyu tu wu shɛŋe a manta mayu le wu bɛɛne wu bude yi bambegɛ le antaŋ bɛ fɛnshɛ, wu wanɛ, wu shooshi ye ye bɛ ata.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6No wu yɛŋ Jiso le baaŋ je yì ndefe le, wu legɛ wu to wu tuŋ anyuu a wu jii,When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7wu waŋ fɛwɛɛwe lɛ, “Jiso Mwa Nyo, Nyo wu le Kikwɛɛ ki Mwɛɛ Munchii lɛ, wo fii la a mɛne? Nlɛge wo a jee chi Nyo le lɛ keefɛ wo nyâ mɛ ŋgɛ gɛ.”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!”

8Wu gɛ̀ jɛme noo, nje Jiso gɛ̀ waŋ wa lɛ, “Kiyo kì yiide kinɛ, bû lo yi muh wunɛ le.”For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Jiso biih wu le lɛ, “Jee chuŋ le yɛɛŋ.” Wu chvuu lɛ, “Jee chaŋ le lɛ kinchvu, nje bee duude lo.”“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10No wu chvuse noo, wu mo wu lɛgɛ Jiso wesee lɛ keefɛ wu kuŋ bɛ bo woŋ wuyu kwɛɛ le gɛ.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Gɛ̀ bee ŋgoo yi munyuŋa mù duude jii mwɛɛ yi mbɛɛsɛ le fo.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Biyo bì yiide biyu mo bi lɛgɛ Jiso lɛ, “Wo chiiŋsɛ bee nyu a munyuŋa mwege le bee lee yi mu le.”So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Jiso bɛɛŋ. Biyo biyu mo bi bu yi muh wuyu le, bi gɛɛŋ bi lee yi munyuŋa muyu le. Ŋgoo yi munyuŋa muyu gɛ̀ bee njɛ banchvuge bafɛɛ. Mu sɛŋ mu boh a kiŋkoŋ kɛɛ le, mu shii a mamasi wuyu le, mu kweeyɛ yo.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.

14Bamii ba gɛ̀ chiɛɛne munyuŋa muyu ja fo, bo fɛɛ lo, bo gɛɛŋ bo sɛɛŋ saaka wuyu a laantɛŋ bɛ bantɛ ba yo le. Bamii tu bo yuge, bo bude bo too ki bo to bo yɛŋ fiɛɛ fì kooshi le.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 to fɛ Jiso gɛ̀ bee fo, bo yɛŋ muh wɛɛ wù kinchvu ki banchɛndaa ba debele gɛ̀ shee bo njiiŋse bɛ wu, wu shii fo, wu jii njú, bvufee bwe kaasɛ wa bvu tu fo. Bo faŋ baaŋ.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.

16Bamii ba gɛ̀ yɛŋ fiɛɛ fì gɛ̀ kooshɛ le, bo mo bo sɛŋe bo no fi gɛ̀ kooshɛ bɛ muh wɛɛ mo ŋgoo yi munyuŋa yɛɛ.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17No bo yu noo, bo kɛ bo lɛge Jiso lɛ wu ja gwɛŋ wuboo le.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18No Jiso gɛ̀ goone ki wu lêe a ŋguh le, muh wù banchɛndaa ba debele gɛ̀ bu ye ye le wɛɛ tu wu lɛge Jiso lɛ bɛ wu gɛɛne.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Jiso faŋ, wu jɛmɛ wu le lɛ, “Wo gɛ̂ɛne nyu fɛ wo kfuuŋ, wo gɛɛŋ wo sɛɛŋ bamii buŋ fiɛɛ fì Tada ge fɛ wo le, bɛ no wu le wu koo yii fɛ wo le.”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.”

20Noo, muh wuyu mo wu ja, wu gɛɛŋ wu jiɛnyi woŋ wuyu le wuchii, wu ba gɛ̀ tɛŋe lɛ Bilaantɛŋ bì Yuufe le, wu feeji fiɛɛ fì Jiso ge fɛ wu le. Bamii tu bo yuge, bo kɛme lo ŋgha.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Jiso kaasɛ wu daŋ a ŋguh le wu tu wuŋ kwege wu tu wù nyu mbebe mamasi le, kinchvu ki bamii ka ki taashɛ fo.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Chiji kikwɛɛ ki yeh yi buunɛ wumu mo wu ja wu to fo, jee che nyu lɛ Jailu. No wu yɛŋ Jiso le, wu gɛɛŋ wu gwe a wu jii,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23wu lɛgɛ wu wesee, wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Mwa yaŋ wù shige wù kwɛse kwee lo. Kii wo, tô gɛh wo kûŋ wu le wu tɛmɛ, wu tu yu.”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.”

24Jiso mo wu ja bɛ wu tu bo gɛɛne, kinchvu ki bamii kfuunɛ ki bii ki faase Jiso.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Kwɛse wumu tɛ gɛ̀ bee a kinchvu kiyu ntɛnɛɛ wù nyu wu chɛŋ wa bɛ kinchɛŋ ki bikɛse lɛ biluŋ yuufe ncho bifɛɛ.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26Wu gɛ̀ bee wu yɛŋ wa ŋgɛ baaŋ a bamii ba nche ba duude jiŋ, wu chɛŋɛ wa fiɛɛ fichii fì wu gɛ̀ kɛme, mwɛɛ foo gɛh lo mu gɛɛne fwe fwe.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.

27No wu gɛ̀ yu wa kune Jiso, wu mo wu to a wu jiŋ a kinchvu ntɛnɛɛ, wu kuŋ nju ye le,When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28nje wu gɛ̀ duu fɛ fitele fie le lɛ, “Nɛ n'ya ŋkuŋ gɛh nyu nju ye le, tu nle ntɛmɛ wa.”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29No wu gɛ̀ kuŋ noo, kinchɛŋ ke mo ki suunɛ kimimia. Kwɛse wuyu yu tɛ ye ye le lɛ wu le wu tɛmɛ wa.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Jiso doo wu yu ye ye le lɛ bvuŋga le bvu bu ye ye le, wu kaasɛ ye kimimia, wu biih bamii le lɛ, “Kuŋ yɛɛŋ nju yaŋ le?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Booŋ be ba ŋgoo chvuu wu le lɛ, “Wo yɛnɛ gɛ kinchvu ki bamii le no ki faase wo gɛ, wo ka biide laa kuŋ yɛɛŋ wo le la?His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Jiso mɛ gɛh wu tu wu jiiŋe wu kɛɛne ki wu yɛ̂ŋ muh wù kuŋ wu le.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33No, kwɛse wuyu gɛ̀ kee fiɛɛ fì kooshi bɛ wu, wu tu wu faane, wu shiŋshi, wu tuŋ anyuu a Jiso jii wu sɛɛŋ nchiɛɛŋ nchiɛɛŋ we wuchii wu le.”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.

34Jiso jɛmɛ wu le lɛ, “Mwa yaŋ, fitele fiuŋ fì wo lese yi ye yaŋ le le fi ge wa wo tɛmɛ. Wo gɛ̂ɛne la chuule kinchɛŋ kuŋ ka lo nɛ.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Gɛh no Jiso gɛ̀ baaŋ wu jɛme kwɛse wɛɛ le noo, bamii bamu fɛsɛ fo bo ja fɛ la chi Jailu wù chiji kikwɛɛ ki yeh yi buunɛ wɛɛ le, bo jɛmɛ wu le lɛ, “Mwa yo le wu mɛsɛ wa. Wo ka she wo nyaa ŋgɛ muh wu n'yɛyɛ le lɛ la?”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36No bo jɛmɛ noo, Jiso yu, geenɛ wu ge gɛh njɛ wu baaŋ yu gɛ, wu jɛmɛ Jailu le lɛ, “Keefɛ wo fâane gɛ, lêesɛ gɛh nyu fitele ye yaŋ le maa.”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Bo tu bo gɛɛne gɛh lo, Jiso gɛ faŋ lɛ keefɛ muh bi wu le fede Bita bɛ Jɛm mo Joŋ wù mwa bwee Jɛm gɛ.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Bo gɛɛŋ bo fɛsɛ fɛ la chi Jailu le, Jiso yɛŋ bamii beede bo fuge lo fo, kwe yode lo fo.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Wu lee yeh, wu biih lɛ, “Bɛŋ beede, bɛŋ fuge manjuu le nɛ nje la? Mwa baaŋ kwe gɛ, wu lefe lo.”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Bo mo bo ja bo keede lo wu ŋkelɛ le. Wu ja wu bvusɛ bamii bachii akfuuŋ, wu jo gɛh nyu chiji mwa bɛ bwe mwa mo bamii be ba ŋgoo ba batɛde baa, bɛ bo lee bo gɛɛŋ fɛ mwa wuyu gɛ̀ gime fo.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.

41Wu jijɛ mwa wuyu yi kibo le wu jɛmɛ a jɛ́ yiboo le lɛ, “Talita Kum!” Fì le lɛ, “Mwa wù kwɛse, njɛme wo le, jâ we!”Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Kimimia noo, wu mo wu ja we wu tu wu jiɛnyi. Mwa wù kwɛse wuyu gɛ̀ bee biluŋ yuufe ncho bifɛɛ. Bo yɛŋ noo jwe yuŋ bo.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.
