Mark 5 (SHR) · Opened

1Banaciyikirira ishiriza, omu cihugo c’Abajerazeni.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Oku anayômoka omu bwârho, omuntu ogwêrhwe n’omuzimu mubî ayisha amulibirhîre, erhi arhenga omu byûsho.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.

3Enyumpa yâge byàli byûsho, na ntà muntu wankahashirimushwêka, ciru ankakolêsa emigozi.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Bulya kanji-kanji bâli barhanzir’imushwêka n’emigozi n’obudagulè, ci ali erhi akonwîre obwo budagulè anatwa eyo migozi, na ntâye wacimuhashaga.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.

5Ngasi lusiku, buca buyira, nk’arhali omu byûsho, erhi omu mpinga, ayâmayâma, anaj’acîyâgaza n’amabuye.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Erhi alangira Yezu, amulibirhirayo, amufukamira:When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7ayâkûza n’izù linene, erhi: «Bici rhufânwa nâwe, Yezu, Mwene-Nyamuzinda w’Enyanya? Nkulahirîze oku Izîno lya Nnâmahanga, orhandibuzagya!»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!”

8Bulya Yezu akâg’imubwîra, erhi: «We muzimu mubî, rhengamw’oyu muntu.»For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Amudôsa, erhi: «Izîno lyâwe we ndi?» Amushuza, erhi: «Izîno lyâni nie murhwe, bulya rhuli banji».“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10Anacimuhûna bwenêne mpu arhamuhulusagya muli eco cihugo.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Aha burhambi hàli obusò bunene bw’engulube, erhi ziyâbusire oku ntondo.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Balya bazimu babî bamuhûna bwenêne, baderha, mpu: «Orhuhêke mwo zira ngulube, rhubè mwo rhuja».So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13Anacibayêmêrera. Balya bazimu babî banacigenda, bajamwo zirya ngulube. Zanacitula ecimolôgo, obusò bwahona oku manga, bwagend’icîloha omu nyanja, bwafìra omu mîshi. Zàli nka bihumbi bibiri.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.

14Abangere bôhe bacîkûlira omulindi, bagend’ilumîza ogwo mwanzi omu cishagala n’omu ndimiro. Abantu bashagamuka mpu baj’ilola oku byabîre.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Erhi bahika hali Yezu, bashimâna olya wàlimwo shetani-murhwe atamîre, ayambîrhe anali mugumagumà n’obukengêre bwâge boshi; bayôboha.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.

16Ababonaga oku byâbà. babarhondêreza olw’oyo muntu wàlimwo shetani lwoshi n’olw’engulube.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Okubundi barhondêra okuyinginga Yezu mpu abarhengere eka.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Erhi abà akol’ashonera omu bwârho, olya wali ogwêrhwe na shetani amusengera mpu amukulikire.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19Amulahirira, amubwîra, erhi: «Oj’emwâwe muli bene winyu, ogend’ibaganîrira aminjà goshi Nyakasane akujirîre omu bwonjo bwâge».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.”

20Anacihira njìra, arhondêra okulumîza omu Dekapoli ngasi kwoshi Yezu amujirîre, n’abantu boshi barhangâla.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Erhi Yezu abà amâshub’iyikirira ishiriza omu bwârho, bantu banji bamushûbûkira. Abêra oku mushenga gw’enyanja.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Hanaciyisha muguma w’omu bakulu b’esinagogi, izîno lyâge ye Yayiri. Erhi amubona, afukama embere zâge,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23anacimushenga bwenêne, erhi: «Mwâli wâni ali obufa; oyîshe, omuhumekwo lyo afuma analame».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.”

24Yezu amushimba, n’olubaga lunji lw’abantu lwamukulikira lwanamugorha.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Omukazi walwâlaga omududu kurhenga myâka ikumi n’ibiri,And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26erhi arhamire n’abafumu ba ngasi lubero, n’erhi ebintu byamuhwerîre byoshi buzira okubona ely’oku ngohe, ciru n’endwâla yâge yajà yayushûka.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.

27Erhi aciyumva emyanzi ya Yezu, amuyisha nyuma, amuhuma oku cishûli.When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28Bulya akâg’ikengêra omu murhima, erhi: «Nkahuma ciru oku myambalo yâge yône, nanafuma».For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Ho na halya ecirhambo câge cahuba, ayumva omu mubiri oku amâfuma endwâla yâge.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Ho n’aho Yezu ayumva oku obuzibu bumurhenziremwo; anacihindamukira olubaga, adôsa, erhi: «Ndi ompumire oku myambalo?»At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Abaganda bâge bamubwîra, mpu: «Ka orhabwîni oku abantu bakulundumirekwo? Nâwe mpu ndi okuhumirekwo?»His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Anacilola eyi n’eyi, mpu abone owajiraga ntyo.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Okubundi olya mukazi anaciyôboha, agera mw’omusisi, bulya ali amanyire oku byabîre kwoshi. Anaciyisha, acikwêba aha magulu gâge, amurhondêreza oku binali kwoshi.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.

34Anacimubwîra, erhi: «Mwâna wâni, obuyêmêre bwâwe bwakufumize; ocîgendere n’obuholo, onafume endwâla yâwe».“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Oku acidwîrhe aderha, hâyisha abantu barhenga emwa omukulu w’esinagogi, bamubwîra, mpu: «Kali mwâli wâwe afîre! Bici waciberakwo Omuyigîriza irhwe?»While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36Erhi ayumva ako kanwa bàdesire, Yezu abwîra olya mukulu w’esinagogi, erhi: «Orhayôbohaga; oyêmêre kwônene».But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37Anacilahira mpu arhakulikirwa na ndi, orhali Petro, Yakôbo na Yowane, mulumuna wa Yakôbo.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Erhi bahika aha mw’olya mukulu w’esinagogi, Yezu ayumva emikûmo n’abantu badwîrhe balaka n’okubanda endûlù.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39Erhi abà amâjà omu nyumpa, ababwîra, erhi: «Eyi mikûmo n’ezi ndûlù ziri za bici? Omwâna arhafîri, ci al’îrò».He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Nabo banacimushekera. Okubundi, erhi abà amabahulusa boshi, ayanka îshe na nnina w’olya mwâna na balya bali bo naye, ajà halya omwâna àli.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.

41Agwârha olya mwâna okuboko, amubwîra, erhi: «Talita kum», kwo kuderha: «We munyere, nkubwîzire nti ozûke!»Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Ho na halya olya munyere anaciyimanga, alambagira, bulya ali akola wa myâka ikumi n’ibiri muburhe. Abantu barhangâla bwenêne.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43Abakomêreza bwenêne mpu ntâye omanyage ogwo mwanzi; anarhegeka mpu bamuhè ebiryo alyè.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
