Mark 5
1 Baye ni gran nei u gbu garasinawa.
Jesus and his disciples arrived on the [east] side of Lake [Galilee. They landed near] where the Gerasene [people lived].
2 Niwa, a ye rju ni mi jirgi. Hi hari baye zon tu ba igu ri u meme ruhu asi rju nimi hbei.
There was a man in that region whom evil spirits controlled.
3 Bubu son ma a hei ni bbei ba ndi wa ani ya ló koni sarka.
[Because that man was violent and people were afraid of him], they had tied him up many times. [As he grew more violent], no one was able to tie him up any longer, not even with chains,
4 Ni-ingu gbugbu ball ni sarka ba ma ruruwa asu sarka ba rji rji maruruwa. Ba Indi wa ani ya vu aba.
because the chains would be broken by him {he would break the chains} whenever he was bound {they bound him} with them. The iron shackles would also be smashed by him {He would also smash the iron shackles} whenever they were fastened {they fastened them} [on his feet].
5 Chachu, chachu ni ble mba ni yalu ani yargro na ni yar kpunma ni tita ni mi hbe ba ni kpah tita.
He lived in one of the caves [where they bury dead people]. During both night and day he would scream among the caves and in the hills. He would also cut himself with [sharp] stones. [That day] he came out of the caves.
6 A chu shishi to Yesu ni gbugbama na tsutsu ye kuque gbarju ruwa na nikon ma.
As Jesus [and his disciples got] out of the boat, that man saw Jesus from a distance. He immediately ran to Jesus, and then he knelt before him.
7 A lu tre gban gban niwu; u mu get niwu? Yesu u vre rji u wawu? me pre ni de rji na tie me yahna.
Jesus said to the evil spirit, “You evil spirit, come out of this man!” [But the demon did not leave quickly]. It shouted very loudly, “Jesus, I [know that you are the] (Son of/man who is also) God, so (we have nothing in common./what do we have in common?) [IDM, RHQ] [So leave me alone] I ask you to promise, knowing God is listening, that you will not torture me [now]!”
8 U wa hla niwu's rju ni kpah ma I wu meme ruhu.
9 Amyen bayo nde me ni nha? Wa hla niwu nde ma tuli ama a ki hei gbugbu'u.
[So, in order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob because there are many of us [evil spirits in this man].”
10 Abra Yesu dina zu wau ni gbuyina
Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.
11 (not included)
[At the same time], a large herd of pigs was (grazing/rooting for food) nearby on the hillside.
12 Ba bra datre zutarhi need lecleba beri kiri niba.
So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”
13 Abri ba meme ruhu ba rju dari ni licleba ba tsutsu gerji ni tie gbuw hau ni mi nei bakede bakai dubuha ba que ni nei.
He permitted them [to do that]. So the evil spirits left the man and entered the pigs. The herd, [which numbered] about 2,000, rushed down the cliff into the lake, and drowned in the lake.
14 Biwa basi kurju ledeba ba tsutsu tu da la ikpe da tsir.
The men who had been tending the pigs ran and reported in the town and the countryside [what had happened. Many people] went to see what had happened.
15 Baye ni irvriji Yesu tre da tah iguh u meme want nibawu tuh
They came to [the place where] Jesus [was]. Then they saw the man whom evil spirits had [previously] controlled. He was sitting there with clothes on and mentally sound. [As a result], they became afraid [because they thought that Jesus might destroy more of their property]. (OR, [they realized that Jesus must be very powerful].)
16 Biwa sahe niki da toh kpe da sitsir ni igu meme ruhu, da la nibawu didime na ta bawu tre leeleba.
The people who had seen what had happened described what had happened to the man whom the evil spirits [previously] controlled. They also described [what had happened to] the pigs.
17 Ba sawume tsu bre du biri gbua.
Then the people pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
18 Asi sou ri ni jirgi iguh meme ruhu bra diwau hu.
As Jesus got in the boat [in order to leave], the man whom the evil spirits [previously] controlled begged Jesus, “[Please let me] go with you!”
19 Ama Yesu na kpagmena ama da la ni niwuhi Kon me ni ndi me di la bawu ikpe rji teh u; yada as mashishime.
But Jesus did not let him [go with him]. On the contrary, he said to him, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord [God] has done for you, and tell them how [God] was kind to you.”
20 Ahi kpa ma da so ma si la kpi bi keklema wa Yesu teh ni wu ni dikatolis. Kowa ni ndi sisri.
So the man left [and traveled around] the Ten Towns [district]. He told people how much Jesus had done for him. All the people [who heard what the man said] were amazed.
21 Nlina Yesu, a rungra ni jirgin. Ri gbala ko rima ndi gbugu Baye gyekle ki niwu.
Jesus [and his disciples] went in a boat back around Lake [Galilee] to where they were before. When they arrived at the shore of the lake, a large crowd gathered around Jesus.
22 Bi ni Kon ri church wa bayo Jairus ye du joku ni zama.
One of the men who presided over a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place), whose name was Jairus, came there. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself at his feet.
23 Asake bra ngari du tree di verwa tsitsa te wiewier que mi bra ye di sawai niwu di sama sikpa nda son divine.
Then he pleaded with Jesus earnestly, “My twelve-year old daughter is [sick and] nearly dead! [Please] come [to my house] and place your hands on her in order that she will be healed {to heal her}, so that she will not die!”
24 Bahi bawu; ndi gbugbu bawu nda ni hau nikpa
So Jesus [and the disciples] went with him. A large crowd followed [Jesus] and [many] pushed close to him.
25 Iwari beki wa the ni lol nkayinle is wulon nduha.
There was a woman [in the crowd] who had vaginal bleeding [EUP] [every day] for twelve years.
26 A shaya brabra ni wa bi nu mua gbugbu it ase kpama peh-phe wu nda ya di sikpa nihe ama lol ka kle.
She had suffered much while many doctors [treated her]. But although she had spent all [her money] to pay the doctors, she had not been helped {they had not helped her}. Instead, she had become worse [EUP].
27 Awo kpi Yesu the. nda ye mi kuganma ni mi gbugbu ndi nda tuka ingloma
After she heard that Jesus [healed people], she came [to where he was and pushed] in the crowd [close] behind Jesus.
28 A tie nda mi taba igloma mike mi samu sikpa.
She did that because she was thinking, “If I [touch him or] even if I touch his clothes, I will be healed {his power will heal me}.” So she touched Jesus’ clothes.
29 Niwa ataba wu; it kukri, ato ni kpa wawu samu sikpa ni lehenma
At once her bleeding stopped. At the same time, she sensed that she had been cured of {that [he] had cured} her illness.
30 Yesu toh nikpa gbegble rju mikpa. A gbaya ni mi bdiba nda tree, aha taba glomu?
Jesus [also] immediately sensed that his power had healed someone. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 I miri konma batre u to gbugbu ndiyi tree ndi tre iha tabawu.
[One of] his disciples replied, “You can see that many people are crowding close to you! [Probably many people touched you]! So (why do you ask ‘Who touched me?’[/We are surprised] that you ask ‘Who touched me?’ [RHQ])”
32 Yesu ni son ya nda to aha taba wu.
But Jesus kept looking around in order to see the one who had done it.
33 I wa to kpe asame wu sisitsir vu. Aye ndu joku ni gbui ma nda la wu gerger me.
The woman was very afraid and trembling. [She thought that Jesus might be angry because she had violated the law that women who had such a] sickness [should not touch other people. But] she knew [that Jesus had healed her]. So she prostrated herself before him. Then she told him truthfully [about what she had done].
34 Ala wu, iuerwa, isorun didime asa u samu sikpame.
He said to her, “(Ma’am/Young lady), because you have believed [that I could heal you], I have healed you. You may go home with peace [in your heart/inner being], [because I promise that] you will not be sick [this way any more].”
35 Asi tre; ndi bari ba rji ni nikon ie Church nda la, Iverwa me kwi na dane tiche kanam
While Jesus was still speaking [to that woman], some people arrived who had come from Jairus’ house. They said [to Jairus], “Your daughter has [now] died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
36 Yesu wo kpe ba si tre, nda ua ni Kon ni church a na te sisri na khir behan gbagba.
But when Jesus heard what these men said, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that the situation is hopeless! Just keep believing [that she will live]!”
37 Ana bri druwo diwuna imba Bitrus, Yakubu mba Yohana vayi Yakubu.
Then he allowed only [his three closest disciples], Peter, James, and John, to go with him [to Jairus’ house]. He did not allow any other people to go with him. After they arrived near the house, Jesus saw that the people there were in turmoil. They were weeping and wailing [DOU] loudly.
38 Baye ni koh was ani anikon church a ato ndi ba si tre gbaba me, basi tsra gre gbagbame.
39 Ni rhi ma ni Kon ala bawu agesa bisi lo isoran ndi si gbagro? iverna, na gwuna, asigruna.
He entered the house and then he said to them, knowing that [he was going to cause her to live again], “(Do not make such a disturbance!/Why are you making such a disturbance?) [RHQ] Stop crying, for the child is not dead! On the contrary, she is [only] sleeping [HYP, EUP]!”
40 Ba zahe. A zuba just pepeme ni ra nda mba iteh uer mba yinma ndi babe niwu, nda rhi hi ni iwirji iver ha.
The people laughed at him, [because they knew that she was dead]. But he sent all the other people outside the house. Then he took the child’s father and mother and the [three disciples] who were with him. He went into [the room] where the child was [lying].
41 Avu iwo very nda la wu, Talita kumi wa ala iverwa tsitsa mi la ni wu lude. Ba wuton iver nda tsir (the nise well doha)
He took hold of the child’s hand and said to her [in her own language], “Talitha, Koum!” That means, “Little girl, get up!”
42 Ba ter sisri pepeme nisorun dedeme.
At once the girl got up and walked around. ([It was not surprising that she could walk], because she was twelve years old.) [When this happened, all who were present] were very astonished.
43 Ala bawu ndi ba na la nidruna. Nda la bawu mu lla rhi.
Jesus ordered them strictly, “Do not tell anyone about [what I have done]!” Afterwards he told them that something to eat should be brought to the girl {that they should bring the girl something to eat}.
