< Mark 5 >
1 They came to the other side of the sea – the region of the Gerasenes;
Jesũ na arutwo ake magĩkinya mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Agerasi.
2 and, as soon as Jesus had got out of the boat, he met a man coming out of the tombs, who was under the power of a foul spirit,
Na Jesũ aarĩkia kuuma gatarũ-inĩ, agĩtũngwo nĩ mũndũ warĩ na ngoma thũku oimĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
3 and who made his home in the tombs. No one had ever been able to secure him, even with a chain;
Mũndũ ũcio aatũũraga kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kũmuoha na kĩndũ, o na mũnyororo.
4 for, though he had many times been left secured with fetters and chains, he had snapped the chains and broken the fetters to pieces, and no one could master him.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩohagwo kaingĩ na mĩnyororo moko na magũrũ, no akamĩtuanga icunjĩ na akoinanga igera iria ciamuohaga magũrũ. Na gũtirĩ mũndũ warĩ na hinya wa kũmũhooreria.
5 Night and day alike, he was continually shrieking in the tombs and among the hills, and cutting himself with stones.
Aatũũraga akayaga ũtukũ na mũthenya, kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ na irĩma-inĩ agĩĩtemangaga na mahiga.
6 Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed to the ground before him,
Rĩrĩa oonire Jesũ arĩ o haraaya akĩhanyũka, akĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere yake.
7 shrieking out in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? For God’s sake do not torment me!”
Akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda atĩa na niĩ, wee Jesũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai-Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno? Ndagũthaitha na Ngai ndũkaanyariire!”
8 For Jesus had said, “Come out from the man, you foul spirit.”
Nĩgũkorwo Jesũ aamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Wee ngoma ĩno thũku uma thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũyũ!”
9 And he asked him, “What is your name?” “My name,” he said, “is Legion, for there are many of us;”
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩtagwo atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Njĩtagwo Legioni, nĩgũkorwo tũrĩ aingĩ.”
10 and he begged Jesus again and again not to send them away out of that country.
Nake agĩkĩrĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ mũno ndagacingate ciume bũrũri ũcio.
11 There was a large herd of pigs close by, feeding on the hillside;
Na rĩrĩ, haarĩ na rũũru rũnene rwa ngũrwe rwarĩĩaga harũrũka-inĩ cia kĩrĩma kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na hau.
12 and the spirits begged Jesus, “Send us into the pigs so that we can take possession of them.”
Ndaimono icio igĩthaitha Jesũ, ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ kũrĩ ngũrwe iria, tũtoonye thĩinĩ wacio.”
13 Jesus gave them leave. They came out, and entered into the pigs; and the herd – about two thousand in number – rushed down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
Nake agĩciĩtĩkĩria. Nacio ndaimono icio ikiuma igĩthiĩ igĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa ngũrwe. Rũũru rũu ruothe rwa mũigana wa ngũrwe ngiri igĩrĩ, rũkĩharũrũka kĩhurũrũka-inĩ na ihenya rũgĩtoonya iria-inĩ, rũkĩũrĩra.
14 Then the men who tended them ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country around; and the people went to see what had happened.
Arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio makĩũra, magĩthiĩ kũheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ na mĩgũnda-inĩ, nao andũ magĩũka kuona ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
15 When they came to Jesus, they found the possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind – the man who had had the ‘Legion’ in him – and they were awe-struck.
Na rĩrĩa mookire harĩ Jesũ, makĩona mũndũ ũrĩa warĩ na Legioni ya ndaimono aikarĩte thĩ hau, ehumbĩte nguo na arĩ na meciiria mega; nao magĩĩtigĩra.
16 Then those who had seen it related to them all that had happened to the possessed man, as well as about the pigs;
Andũ arĩa moonete ũndũ ũcio ũgĩĩkwo makĩĩra andũ acio angĩ maũndũ marĩa mekĩkire kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio waiyũrĩtwo nĩ ndaimono, o na makĩmahe ũhoro wa ngũrwe.
17 so they began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
Nao andũ acio makĩambĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ oime bũrũri ũcio wao.
18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the possessed man begged him to let him stay with him.
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyaga gatarũ, mũndũ ũcio warutĩtwo ndaimono agĩthaitha Jesũ etĩkĩre mathiĩ nake.
19 But Jesus refused. “Go back to your home, to your own people,” he said, “and tell them of all that the Lord has done for you, and how he took pity on you.”
No Jesũ akĩmũgiria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inũka mũciĩ kũrĩ andũ anyu, ũmeere ũrĩa wothe Mwathani agwĩkĩire, o na ũrĩa akũiguĩrĩire tha.”
20 So the man went, and began to proclaim in the district of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩambĩrĩria kũheana ũhoro kũu Dekapoli wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Jesũ aamwĩkĩire. Nao andũ othe makĩgega.
21 By the time Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the opposite shore, a great number of people had gathered to meet him, and were standing by the sea.
Nake Jesũ aarĩkia kũringa rĩngĩ na gatarũ na aakinya mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ gĩkĩũngana harĩ we o hau aarĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
22 One of the leaders of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came and, as soon as he saw Jesus, threw himself at his feet and begged him repeatedly,
Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo mũnene ũmwe wa thunagogi wetagwo Jairũ agĩũka hau. Oona Jesũ, akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make
23 saying, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Please come and place your hands on her so that she may recover and live.”
akĩmũthaitha mũno, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kairĩtu gakwa gakirie gũkua. Ndagũthaitha ũũke, ũgakaigĩrĩre moko nĩgeetha kahone, gatũũre muoyo.”
24 So Jesus went with him. A great number of people followed Jesus, and kept pressing around him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩthiĩ nake. Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra, na gĩkamũhatĩkaga na mĩena yothe.
25 Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from hemorrhage,
Na rĩrĩ, hau nĩ haarĩ na mũtumia watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
26 and undergone much at the hands of many doctors, (spending all she had without obtaining any relief, but, on the contrary, growing worse),
Nĩathĩĩnĩkĩte mũno agĩthondekwo nĩ mandagĩtarĩ aingĩ, na akahũthĩra kĩrĩa gĩothe aakoretwo nakĩo, no handũ ha kũhona aakĩragĩrĩria o kwĩhĩrwo.
27 heard about Jesus, came behind in the crowd, and touched his cloak.
Rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro wa Jesũ, agĩũka na thuutha wake gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kĩrĩndĩ, akĩhutia nguo yake,
28 “If I can only touch his clothes,” she said, “I will get well!”
tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Ingĩhutia nguo ciake, no hone.”
29 At once her bleeding stopped, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her affliction.
O rĩmwe agĩtiga kuura, na akĩigua nĩehererio thĩĩna mwĩrĩ-inĩ wake.
30 Jesus at once became aware of the power that had gone out from him, and, turning around in the crowd, he said, “Who touched my clothes?”
Nake Jesũ o rĩmwe akĩigua atĩ hinya nĩwoima harĩ we. Akĩĩhũgũrĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũcio wahutia nguo ciakwa?”
31 “You see the people pressing around you,” exclaimed his disciples, “and yet you say ‘Who touched me?’”
Nao arutwo ake makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Woria ‘Nũũ wahutia?’ ũkĩonaga ũrĩa andũ aya marakũhatĩka?”
32 But Jesus looked about to see who had done it.
No Jesũ akĩroranga one nũũ wamũhutĩtie.
33 Then the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself down before him, and told him the whole truth.
Nake mũtumia ũcio, aamenya ũrĩa eekĩtwo, agĩũka, akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make akĩinainaga nĩ guoya, akĩmũhe ũhoro wothe ũrĩa watariĩ.
34 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you; be free from your affliction.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩtĩkio waku nĩguo watũma ũhone; thiĩ na thayũ na ũhone mũrimũ waku.”
35 Before he had finished speaking, some people from the house of the synagogue leader came and said, “Your daughter is dead! Why should you trouble the teacher further?”
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩaragia-rĩ, hagĩũka andũ moimĩte kwa Jairũ ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa thunagogi, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩguo nĩakua. Ũgũgĩthĩĩnia mũrutani rĩngĩ nĩkĩ?”
36 But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only have faith.”
Nake Jesũ akĩaga gũthikĩrĩria ũguo moigaga, akĩĩra mũnene ũcio wa thunagogi atĩrĩ, “Wee ĩtĩkia na ndũgetigĩre.”
37 And he allowed no one to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
Jesũ ndetĩkĩririe mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amũrũmĩrĩre, o tiga Petero na Jakubu na Johana mũrũ wa nyina na Jakubu.
38 Presently they reached the leader’s house, where Jesus saw a scene of confusion – people weeping and wailing incessantly.
Na maakinya mũciĩ kwa mũnene ũcio wa thunagogi, Jesũ akĩona andũ magagaĩte makĩrĩraga na makiugagĩrĩria.
39 “Why this confusion and weeping?” he said on entering. “The little child is not dead; she is asleep.”
Agĩtoonya thĩinĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kĩagago gĩkĩ gĩothe na kĩrĩro nĩ cia kĩ? Mwana ti mũkuũ, no nĩ gũkoma akomete.”
40 They began to laugh at him; but he sent them all out, and then, with the child’s father and mother and his companions, went into the room where she was lying.
Nao makĩmũthekerera. Na thuutha wa kũmoimia nja othe, akĩoya ithe na nyina wa mwana na arutwo arĩa aarĩ nao magĩtoonya harĩa mwana ũcio aarĩ.
41 Taking her hand, Jesus said to her, “Talitha, koum!” – which means ‘little girl, I am speaking to you – Rise!’
Akĩnyiita mwana guoko, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Talitha kumi!” (naguo wataũrwo nĩ ta kuuga, “Kairĩtu gaka, ndakwĩra atĩrĩ, ũkĩra!”)
42 The little girl stood up at once, and began to walk about; for she was twelve years old. And, as soon as they saw it, they were overwhelmed with amazement;
O rĩmwe kairĩtu kau gagĩũkĩra, gakĩambĩrĩria gũthiĩ (nako kaarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ). Nao mona ũguo makĩgega mũno.
43 but Jesus repeatedly cautioned them not to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.
Nake akĩmakaania mũno matikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye ũhoro ũcio, na akĩmeera makahe kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.
