馬可福音 5
1 他們來到海的對岸革拿撒人的地方。
Jesus and his disciples arrived on the [east] side of Lake [Galilee. They landed near] where the Gerasene [people lived].
2 耶穌一下船，即刻有一個附邪魔的人，從墳墓裏出來，迎著他走來，
There was a man in that region whom evil spirits controlled.
3 原來那人居住在墳墓裏，再沒有人能捆住他，就是用鎖鍊也不能，
[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 因為人屢次用腳鐐和鎖鍊將他捆縛，他卻將鎖鍊掙斷，將腳鐐弄碎，沒有人能制服他。
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 他晝夜在墳墓裏或山陵中喊叫，用石頭擊傷自己。
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 他從遠處望見了耶穌，就跑來，跪在他前，
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 大聲喊說：「至高天主之子耶穌，我與你有什麼相干﹖我因著天主誓求你，不要苦害我!」
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 因為耶穌曾向他說：「邪魔，從這人身上出去!」
9 耶穌問他說：「你名叫什麼﹖」他回答說：「我名叫『軍旅』，因為我們眾多。」
[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 他再三懇求耶穌，不要驅逐他們離開此地。
Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.
11 那時，在那邊山坡上，有一大群豬正在放牧，
[At the same time], a large herd of pigs was (grazing/rooting for food) nearby on the hillside.
12 他們懇求耶穌說：「請打發我們到那豬群，好讓我們進入牠們內。」
So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”
13 耶穌准許了他們；邪魔就出來，進入了豬內。那群豬約有二千，便從山崖上直衝到海裏，在海裏淹死了。
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 放豬的人就逃去，到城裏和鄉間傳報開了；人都出來看是發生了什麼事。
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 他們來到耶穌跟前，看見那個附魔的人，即為「軍旅」所附的人，坐在那裏，穿著衣服，神志清醒，就害怕起來。
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 看見的人就把附魔的人所遇到的事，和那群豬的事，都給他們逑說了。
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 他們便請求耶穌離開他們的境界。
Then the people pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
18 當耶穌上船時，那曾附過魔的人，懇求耶穌讓他同耶穌在一起。
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 耶穌沒有允許他，但對他說：「你回家，到你的親屬那裏，給他們傳逑上主為你作了何等大事，怎樣憐憫了你。」
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 那人就走了，在十城區開始傳揚耶穌為他所作的何等大事，眾人都驚奇不已。
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 耶穌乘船又渡回對岸，有大夥群眾聚集在他周圍；他遂留在海濱。
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 那時，來了一個會堂長名叫雅依洛，一見耶穌，就跪伏在他腳前，
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 懇切求他說：「我的小女兒快要死了，請你來，給他覆手，叫她得救回生。」
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 耶穌就同他去了。有一大群人跟隨著他，擁擠著他。
So Jesus [and the disciples] went with him. A large crowd followed [Jesus] and [many] pushed close to him.
25 那時，有一個婦人，患血漏已有十二年。
There was a woman [in the crowd] who had vaginal bleeding [EUP] [every day] for twelve years.
26 她在許多醫生手裏，受了許多痛苦，花盡了自己所有的一切，不但沒有見效，反而病勢更加重了。
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 她聽了有關耶穌的傳說，便來到人群中，從後邊摸了耶穌的衣裳，
After she heard that Jesus [healed people], she came [to where he was and pushed] in the crowd [close] behind Jesus.
28 因為她心裏想：「我只要一摸他的衣裳，必然會好的。」
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 她的血源立刻涸竭了，並且覺得身上的疾病也好了。
At once her bleeding stopped. At the same time, she sensed that she had been cured of {that [he] had cured} her illness.
30 耶穌立時覺得有一種能力從自己身上出去，就在人群中回過頭來說：「誰摸了我的衣裳﹖」
Jesus [also] immediately sensed that his power had healed someone. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 他的門徒向他說：「你看! 群眾四面擁擠著你，你還問：誰摸了我﹖」
[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 耶穌四周觀望，要看作這事的婦人。
But Jesus kept looking around in order to see the one who had done it.
33 那婦人明知在自己身上所成的事，就戰戰兢兢地前來，跪伏在耶穌前，把實情完全告訴他。
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 耶穌便向他她說：「女兒，你的信德救了你，平安去罷! 你的疾病必得痊癒!」
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 他還說話的時候，有人從會堂長家裏來，說：「你的女兒死了，你還來煩勞師傅做什麼﹖」
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 耶穌聽所說的話，就給會堂長說：「不要怕，祇管信。」
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 除伯多祿、雅各伯和雅各伯的弟弟若望外，他沒有讓任何人跟他去。
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 他們到了會堂長的家裏，耶穌看見群眾非常喧噪：有的哭泣，有的哀號，
39 便進去，給他們說：「你們為什麼喧噪哭泣呢﹖小女孩並沒有死, 祇是睡著了!」
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 他們都譏笑他。他卻把眾人趕出去，帶著小女孩的父親和母親，及同他在一起的人，進了小女孩所在的地方。
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 他拿起小女孩的手，對她說：「塔里塔，古木!」意思是：「女孩子，我命妳起來!」
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 那女孩子就立刻起來行走，原來她已十二歲了；他們都驚訝得目瞪口呆。
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 耶穌卻嚴厲命令他們，不要叫任何人知道這件事；又吩咐給女孩子吃的。
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}.
