Mark 5 (SBS) · Opened

1Babezi kwishilya limwi lyewate, kuchilalo cha Gerasenese.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Mi hahobulyo Jesu hazuka muchikepe, mukwame wina luhuho lusajololi abezi kwali kukazwa kumakumbu.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.

3Mukwame abali kuhala mumakumbu. Kakwina ni uumwina yabakuti chowola kumukanisa, mane nangati ni ncheini.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Chaba suminwe inako ingi ingi ni nkwele ni ncheini. Abali kupusoola hakati incheini ni nkwele zakwe zibapusoolwa. Kakwina ni umwina yabena ziho zokumu zuunda.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.

5Masiku ni masiku ni musihali mumakumbu ni mumalundu, abali kubokolola ni kulifundola chamabwe makali.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Habona Jesu kulezana, natilila kwali ni kukafukama habusu bwakwe.When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7Chabokolola chamuhuwo mukando, “Chinzi chiniswanela kuchita nawe, Jesu, Mwana wa Ireeza waKwiwulu? Nikukumbila cha Ireeza iye mwine, kanji unisukululi.”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!”

8Mukuti abali kuwamba kwali, “Zwe mumukwame, iwe luhuho lusajololi.”For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Mi namubuza, “Nguweni izina lyako?” Mi namwitaba, “Izina lyangu nji Mpi, mukuti tubangi.”“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10Namukumbila chakubolelabolela kusaatumina kunze ye chilalo.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Haho mulaka mukando wezigulube ubena ho ni ufula hachiwulu,There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12mi niyamukumbila, niiti, “Tutumine muzingulube; twinjile muzili.”So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Chobulyo chazizuminina; inhuho zisajolwele nizazwa ni kwinjila muzingulube, ni zashetumuka chakuhwelela hansi yachiwulu mwiwate, mi zibali kusaka kulikana impalo ya zikiti zobele ziguluve zibamini mwiwate.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.

14Mi abo babali kulisika zingulube nibatiya ni kukabiha chibatendahali mumuleneñi ni kumbali yenkanda. Imi bantu bangi nibayenda hanze kukabona zibachitahali.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Linu nibeza kwa Jesu mi nibaabona mukwame yowina madimona—yabena iMpi—nekele hansi, nazwete, imi mumaano sakata akwe, mi babalikalilwe.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.

16Bana bababoni chibachitahali kumukwame yokwetwe madimona nibaba wambila chiba chitahali kwali mane ni kuamana ni zingulube.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Mi chibatanga kumukumbila kusiya chilalo chabo.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Mi habali kwinjila mukepe, mukwame wamadimona na mukumbila kuti ayende naye.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Kono kana aba muzuminini, kono nacho kwali, “Yende kunzubo yanko ni kubantu bako, nikukaba wambila Ireeza chaba kupangili, ni chisemonzi chaba kuhi.”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.”

20Linu nayenda ni kukatanga kwi zibahaza zintu zikando Jesu zabamuchitili mwa Dekapolisi, mi bonse baba makali.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Mi Jesu hachalutila mwishilwa hape kuimwimbali yewate, muchisepe, chisi chikando nichakungana kumuzimbuluka, mukuti abena kumbali lyewate.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Mi zumwi kubayendisi besinangonge, wezina lya Jailusi, nakeza, mi hamubona, nawila hamantende akwe.A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23Namukumbila chakubolela bolela, nati, “Mwanangu munini wamukazana chiwina hafuhi ni lufu. Nikukumbila, wize ubike mayanza ako hali kuti apangwe siinte ni kuhala.”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.”

24Linu nayenda naye, ni chisi chikando nichamwichilila ni kumukakatiize kumuzimbuluka.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Lyahanu kubena mwanakazi wamalaha abazwizi zilimo zina ikumi ni zobele.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26Abasukuluki chabukando mumpabalelo yeñanga zingi mi abalitusisi zonse zabakwete, kono kunde yakuba butuka naya kunsi.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.

27Chabazuwile indaba kuamana ni Jesu. Linu nakeza mumasule akwe habali kwabuyenda muchisi, ni chakwata chizabalo chakwe.When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28Chobulyo nati, “Heba ninikwata bulyo zizwato zakwe, munihozwe.”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Hachamuwonda, kuzwiza ni kwazimana, mi nalizuwa mumubili wakwe kuti chahozwa kumalwalila akwe.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Mi hahobulyo Jesu nalemuha mwalimwine kuti ziho chizazwa kwali. Mi nasandukila mubuungi bwa chisi ni kubuza, “Njeni wawonda zizwato zangu?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Barutwana bakwe chibacho kwali, “Ubwene ichi chisi chikukakatize kukuzimbuluka, mi uwamba, “Njeni waniwonda?”His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Kono Jesu nalolalola kubona yabapangi bulyo.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Mwanakazi, chokwiziba chiba pangahali kwali, nalikalilwa niku chachalika. Abakezi ni kuwila habusu bwakwe ni kumuwambila buhote bonse.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.

34Nawamba kwali, “Mwanangu wechikazana, intumelo yako yakushiyamisa, Yende chenkozo mi uholele kuchilwalo chako.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Habali kusiwamba, bamwi bantu nibeza kuzwa kumuyendisi we sinangonge, nibacho, “Mwanako wechikazana chafwa. Chinzi kuzwila habusu kukataza muruti?”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Mi linu Jesu chakuzuwa zibaba wambi, nati kumuyendisi we sinagoge, “Kanji utiyi. Zumine bulyo.”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Kana abazuminini nanga zuhi kumusindikiza, kunde aPitorosi, Jakobo, ni Johani, mwanche wa Jakobo.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Babakezi kunzuvo yomuyendisi we sinagoge mi nabona ko bantuvangi nibachita ilata lingi lingi; babali kusilisa ni kubokolola chakutumusa.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Henjila munzubo, nati kubali, “Chinzi hamunyeletwe imi chinzi hamusilisa? Muhwile kafwile kono ulele,”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Nibamuseka. Kono nabazwisikiza hanze bonse niku hinda besi wamuhwile ni banyina ni babena naye, mi nenjila mwabena muhwile.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.

41Nichahinda iyanza lyamuhwile ni kuti kwali, “Talita koum,” ili ita kuti, “Muhwile wamukazana, niti kwako, zime.”Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Hahobulyo muhwile chazima ni kuyenda (kakuti abena zilimo zina ikumi ni zobele kuchipepo). Mibabamakali ni kuhita.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Chenkalimelo nabalaela kuti kakwina nanga umwina yoswanela kwiziba kuamana ni chatendahala. Mi naba wambila kumuha chakulya.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
