< Mark 5 >
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
and he had no sooner stepped out of the boat, than a man out of the tombs came to meet him, a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
who lived among the tombs.
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Yahushua afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Yahushua, thou Son of the most high Elohim? I adjure thee by Elohim, that thou torment me not.
and with a shriek he cried out in a loud voice. "Jesus, son of God most high, what business have you with me? I adjure you by God, torment me not!"
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many."
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
13 And forthwith Yahushua gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand; ) and were choked in the sea.
And he gave them leave. And out came the foul spirits and entered the swine; and the drove rushed down from the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand, and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.
15 And they come to Yahushua, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
When they got to Jesus they found the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind - the man who had had the "Legion" - and they were awestruck.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,
19 Howbeit Yahushua suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things YHWH hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
"Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Yahushua had done for him: and all men did marvel.
So he went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.
21 And when Yahushua was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
Then after Jesus had recrossed in a boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding around him; so he stayed on the seashore.
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
Then one of the wardens of the synagogue, named Jairus, came up, and as soon as he saw Jesus, fell at his feet, with many entreaties,
23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
"My little daughter," he said, "is dying. I beseech you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may recover and live."
24 And Yahushua went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse.
27 When she had heard of Yahushua, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
"If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.
30 And Yahushua, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
"You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’"
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
But he kept looking about to see who had done it,
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
"Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the master any further?
While he was still speaking men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?"
36 As soon as Yahushua heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe."
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Kepha, and James, and John the brother of James.
He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and Jamesand John, the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
"Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
"The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
Then he took the child’s hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.
