Mark 5 (UTR) · Opened

1A foyombo utɔ lu ayɛsɛ iGeraseni nani.On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2Ngwi iYesu tasɛ mi uwaa mata, ongyulɔ oka yi onodzi okpɛkpɛ tɔ mi imbe endzi wa tun.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.

3Inggisɛ nɛ li la imbe endzi, inggisɛ onyi dzɛma nka bwan adi gbɛ ba, kwoba yi ashi kpaa.This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4Bana a li teyi bwan afɔ yi abɔ, kpaa o li byi ashi yi iyudza ntona kye gbɔdzɛ dulu afɔ tɔ. Inggisɛ onyi fyumfye mɛ osin bɛsɛ ba.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.

5Otu yi onɔ mi imbe endzi bɛyi undɔ ntona o li le teela diyɛ dzɛ ewon ifwa mi akwutsɛ.Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6Ngwi o dili iYesu mbombo mata, o tsinya ka gbe akwafɔ kwokɛ esɛ mfyumfye mi iyayi iYesu.When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7O feela kpakpa, <<Li ekyɛ wo abu yi ani. IYesu, Ongwɛ Imgbasho ngwu ngha mi esho? Fa mbi Imgbasho gbɛɛ abu ka nu ani adzɛ ba!>>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!”

8Ikyesinɛ iYesu teyi nyan gbɛɛ, <<Abu onodzi ibwubwe tasɛ mbi inggisɛ nɛni!>>For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9Ta iYesu byun gbɛɛ, <<Iyi abu di emɛ?>> O nu uka gbɛɛ, <<Iyi ani gbɛɛ ibyibyi, ikyekyɛ eyi le kwuba.>>“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10O si tɛkyɛ diyɛ gbabɔ nu iYesu gbɛɛ, no ka lɔ ama onya dzata imbe nɛ ba.And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

11Obyia ibyibyi tole gye ungwogye kwɛkwɛ mi undɔ mi imbe nani.There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12Onodzi ibwubwe ntona tɛkyɛ nu iYesu gbɛɛ, <<Lɔlu eyi kaka obyia ntonɛni; noofɛ ni eyi kaka mboma.>>So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13O nu ma ofɛ, man onodzi ibwubwe ntona tasɛ lu ka yaokɛ mbi obyia ntonani. Obyi obyia na mɛ dafi idubu efa sini, a tashulu mi agblo yaokɛ utɔ si dzili.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.

14Ama ongyo obyia ntona tsinya lu ka gbɔ mi igeli bɛyi ayɛsɛ nani. Inggisɛ gbe ewoma tasɛ le wa di ungwɔ nkiyayi mani.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15Ngwi a ba mbi iYesu nɛ, a si di inggisɛ ngwu esɛ gbeka dɔn ikye nani, sɔdzɛ mmana, wo angwuto, itukwu mgban yɛɛ saan, man a tsimio.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.

16Ama ndi mani a gbɔ nya inggisɛ ungwɔ nkyɔ ongyulɔ ngwu esɛ dɔn ikye nani, bɛyi odzɛ mgbi obyia ntona kpaa.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17Nghanɛ inggisɛ ntona wita otɛɛkyɛ nu iYesu gbɛɛ no dzata ayɛsɛ mgbi ama.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

18Dafi iYesu le kaka ifu uwaa nɛ, inggisɛ ngwu esɛ dɔn ikye na tɛkyɛ gbɛɛ ongwu ki lu yan.As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19IYesu gbela ba, kpaa o gbɛɛ, <<Lu udɛ mbi etɔ mgbi abu dika nya ma ungwɔ okwukwo ngwi Otsɛ Imgbasho kyɔ yi abu, bɛyi itɔ elela ngwi o di abu nɛni.>>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.”

20Inggisɛ na si lu ka wita le gbɔ mi iDekapoli (ogalu iwyo ntona) ungwɔ okwukwo ngwi iYesu kyɔ mi ikye mgbi ongwu nani. I si kwulu inggisɛ duu ewo.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21Onɔ ngwi iYesu diyɛ fa mi uwaa dɔkɛ oyombo utɔ nɛ, ibyi inggisɛ kwuba kpakɛkɛ won ngwi o kwudzɛ ondu utɔ mani.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22Man onyi mi idzidzɛ mgbi ama oteyi mi ozu okwakye mgbi emi iJuda, iyin di iJaru badzɛ imbe nani, ngwi o dili iYesu nɛta o si lankɛ esɛ mi iyayi,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23diyɛ tɛkyɛ nun saan gbɛɛ, <<Ongwani ongyaa ongwu ongbungbɛ le kwulu, tsuutsu ba wa kye abɔ mgbi abu gbon ewo azukwu ni ewo mgban gbosa no dzɛ oshishe.>>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.”

24Nghanɛ iYesu wafɔ yan. Ijiji inggisɛ kyan iyikpa kwuba, imbe flengba lon.So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

25Ongyaa oka kpaa dzɛ mmana ngwu teka ogyiiyɛ onova iwyodefa.And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26O gyisɔ kwuba mi abɔ mgbi ama obwe ootse, di kye mbelu ungwɔ ngwi o sulun duu, ngwi ewo kika gbosa nɛ ootse nghao kɛɛkiyayi.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.

27Ngwi o fwo odzɛ iYesu nɛ, o si gbuokɛ idzidzɛ inggisɛ wa kye abɔ gbon angwuto mi iyikpa,When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28ikyekyɛ o tsɛwɛ gbɛɛ, <<kini ani kye abɔ gbon angwuto kpaa ta, ootse mgbɛn ka ngyɛ.>>For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29Labɔlabɔ nɛ eyi odɛɛdɛ mgban dzɛ man o si difwi mi idzidzɛ ewo mgban dafi isɔ na gbosa mani.Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30IYesu jakpa difwi akponyi dafi mfye tɔ lo ongwu mi ewo mani. O kyata inɛ byi ibyi inggisɛ ntona si byita gbɛɛ, <<li emɛ kye abɔ gbo ani angwuto?>>At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31Emi ongwafɔ mgban nun uka gbɛɛ, <<Abu di inggisɛ tsiibyi wo abu, kpaa abu dile byita gbɛɛ, <Li emɛ kye abɔ gbo anii?> >>His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32Nghaduu iYesu kiyayi ondinɛ inggisɛ nkyɔ ngha mani.But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33Ngwi ongyaa na difwi ungwɔ nkyɔn nɛ, o si ba wa lakɛ esɛ mi iyayi iYesu, ewo le shiishi lon yi imio, o si nyan otsitsi ungwɔ ndzɛ duu.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.

34O nyan gbɛɛ, <<Ongyaa, oyɛyɛ onuunu mgbi abu ngyɛlu abu ootse. Kɛ ise diyɛ tɔ mi isɔ mgbi abu nɛni.>>“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

35Ngwi iYesu kale gbɔdzɛ nɛta, engyulɔ angbeka tɔkyɛ udɛ iJaru, inggisɛ oteyi mi ozu okwakye mgbi emi iJuda. A gbɛɛ, <<Ongwabu kwulu ma li ekyɛ ngwi abu kale kaka otsetse ewo?>>While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36IYesu gbadikye mi odzɛ ngwi a gbɔ na man, O si nya ongye oteyi ozu okwakye mgbi emi iJuda na gbɛɛ, <<ka tsimio ba, noyɛyɛ ta i ngyɛ.>>But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37O nu inggisɛ onyi kyan iyikpa ba sede iPyita, iJɛnsi yi iJɔn ongwunɔ iJɛnsi ta.And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Ngwi a ba udɛ ongye oteyi ozu okwakye mgbi emi iJuda nɛ, iYesu di imbe yɛɛ yuu yi akwɔ bɛyi ikwu otseetse mi ela okwukwo.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39O kaka ifun di nya ma gbɛɛ, <<I kyɔsinɛ ngwi ema nu imbe suusu yi ikwu otseetse ngha? Ongwɛ nɛ kwulu ba kpaa o nanuna ta.>>He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40Nghaduu a shan isha. Onɔ ngwi o nu ma tasɛ nɛman, o kyi kyelu ama omban bɛyi engwafɔ mgban nghi eta ntona kaka ifoozu imbe ngwi ongwɛ se ladzɛ mani.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.

41O kpalun abɔ nyan gbɛɛ, <<Italita kumi!>> (Itan gbɛɛ, <<Ongwongyaa ongbungbɛ, ani le nya abu gbɛɛ, kyato!>>).Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42Labɔlabɔ nɛta ongwongyaa na kyɛɛ dzɛkunto le kyikyɛ yilili kpatsɛ (o li onova iwyodefa). Mi ungwɔnɛ i kwulu ma ewo saan.Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43O wo ma ola kpɔklɔɔ gbɛɛ nu ma ka nu inggisɛ onyi ye odzɛ ele ba, o diyɛ nya ma gbɛɛ nu ma nun ungwogye no gye.Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
