Mark 5
1 Jesus and his disciples arrived on the [east] side of Lake [Galilee. They landed near] where the Gerasene [people lived].
και ηλθον εισ το περαν τησ θαλασσησ εισ την χωραν των γαδαρηνων
2 There was a man in that region whom evil spirits controlled.
και εξελθοντι αυτω εκ του πλοιου ευθεωσ απηντησεν αυτω εκ των μνημειων ανθρωποσ εν πνευματι ακαθαρτω
3 [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,
οσ την κατοικησιν ειχεν εν τοισ μνημασιν και ουτε αλυσεσιν ουδεισ εδυνατο αυτον δησαι
4 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].
δια το αυτον πολλακισ πεδαισ και αλυσεσιν δεδεσθαι και διεσπασθαι υπ αυτου τασ αλυσεισ και τασ πεδασ συντετριφθαι και ουδεισ αυτον ισχυεν δαμασαι
5 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.
και δια παντοσ νυκτοσ και ημερασ εν τοισ ορεσιν και εν τοισ μνημασιν ην κραζων και κατακοπτων εαυτον λιθοισ
6 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.
ιδων δε τον ιησουν απο μακροθεν εδραμεν και προσεκυνησεν αυτω
7 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]!”
και κραξασ φωνη μεγαλη ειπεν τι εμοι και σοι ιησου υιε του θεου του υψιστου ορκιζω σε τον θεον μη με βασανισησ
ελεγεν γαρ αυτω εξελθε το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον εκ του ανθρωπου
9 [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].”
και επηρωτα αυτον τι σοι ονομα και απεκριθη λεγων λεγεων ονομα μοι οτι πολλοι εσμεν
10 Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.
και παρεκαλει αυτον πολλα ινα μη αυτουσ αποστειλη εξω τησ χωρασ
11 [At the same time], a large herd of pigs was (grazing/rooting for food) nearby on the hillside.
ην δε εκει προσ τω ορει αγελη χοιρων μεγαλη βοσκομενη
12 So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”
και παρεκαλεσαν αυτον παντεσ οι δαιμονεσ λεγοντεσ πεμψον ημασ εισ τουσ χοιρουσ ινα εισ αυτουσ εισελθωμεν
13 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.
και επετρεψεν αυτοισ ευθεωσ ο ιησουσ και εξελθοντα τα πνευματα τα ακαθαρτα εισηλθον εισ τουσ χοιρουσ και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εισ την θαλασσαν ησαν δε ωσ δισχιλιοι και επνιγοντο εν τη θαλασση
14 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.
οι δε βοσκοντεσ τουσ χοιρουσ εφυγον και ανηγγειλαν εισ την πολιν και εισ τουσ αγρουσ και εξηλθον ιδειν τι εστιν το γεγονοσ
15 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].)
και ερχονται προσ τον ιησουν και θεωρουσιν τον δαιμονιζομενον καθημενον και ιματισμενον και σωφρονουντα τον εσχηκοτα τον λεγεωνα και εφοβηθησαν
16 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.
διηγησαντο δε αυτοισ οι ιδοντεσ πωσ εγενετο τω δαιμονιζομενω και περι των χοιρων
17 Then the people pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
και ηρξαντο παρακαλειν αυτον απελθειν απο των οριων αυτων
18 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!”
και εμβαντοσ αυτου εισ το πλοιον παρεκαλει αυτον ο δαιμονισθεισ ινα η μετ αυτου
19 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.”
ο δε ιησουσ ουκ αφηκεν αυτον αλλα λεγει αυτω υπαγε εισ τον οικον σου προσ τουσ σουσ και αναγγειλον αυτοισ οσα σοι ο κυριοσ πεποιηκεν και ηλεησεν σε
20 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.
και απηλθεν και ηρξατο κηρυσσειν εν τη δεκαπολει οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο ιησουσ και παντεσ εθαυμαζον
21 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.
και διαπερασαντοσ του ιησου εν τω πλοιω παλιν εισ το περαν συνηχθη οχλοσ πολυσ επ αυτον και ην παρα την θαλασσαν
22 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.
και ιδου ερχεται εισ των αρχισυναγωγων ονοματι ιαειροσ και ιδων αυτον πιπτει προσ τουσ ποδασ αυτου
23 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!”
και παρεκαλει αυτον πολλα λεγων οτι το θυγατριον μου εσχατωσ εχει ινα ελθων επιθησ αυτη τασ χειρασ οπωσ σωθη και ζησεται
24 So Jesus [and the disciples] went with him. A large crowd followed [Jesus] and [many] pushed close to him.
και απηλθεν μετ αυτου και ηκολουθει αυτω οχλοσ πολυσ και συνεθλιβον αυτον
25 There was a woman [in the crowd] who had vaginal bleeding [EUP] [every day] for twelve years.
και γυνη τισ ουσα εν ρυσει αιματοσ ετη δωδεκα
26 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].
και πολλα παθουσα υπο πολλων ιατρων και δαπανησασα τα παρ αυτησ παντα και μηδεν ωφεληθεισα αλλα μαλλον εισ το χειρον ελθουσα
27 After she heard that Jesus [healed people], she came [to where he was and pushed] in the crowd [close] behind Jesus.
ακουσασα περι του ιησου ελθουσα εν τω οχλω οπισθεν ηψατο του ιματιου αυτου
28 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.
ελεγεν γαρ οτι καν των ιματιων αυτου αψωμαι σωθησομαι
29 At once her bleeding stopped. At the same time, she sensed that she had been cured of {that [he] had cured} her illness.
και ευθεωσ εξηρανθη η πηγη του αιματοσ αυτησ και εγνω τω σωματι οτι ιαται απο τησ μαστιγοσ
30 Jesus [also] immediately sensed that his power had healed someone. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
και ευθεωσ ο ιησουσ επιγνουσ εν εαυτω την εξ αυτου δυναμιν εξελθουσαν επιστραφεισ εν τω οχλω ελεγεν τισ μου ηψατο των ιματιων
31 [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])”
και ελεγον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου βλεπεισ τον οχλον συνθλιβοντα σε και λεγεισ τισ μου ηψατο
32 But Jesus kept looking around in order to see the one who had done it.
και περιεβλεπετο ιδειν την τουτο ποιησασαν
33 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].
η δε γυνη φοβηθεισα και τρεμουσα ειδυια ο γεγονεν επ αυτη ηλθεν και προσεπεσεν αυτω και ειπεν αυτω πασαν την αληθειαν
34 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].”
ο δε ειπεν αυτη θυγατερ η πιστισ σου σεσωκεν σε υπαγε εισ ειρηνην και ισθι υγιησ απο τησ μαστιγοσ σου
35 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]”
ετι αυτου λαλουντοσ ερχονται απο του αρχισυναγωγου λεγοντεσ οτι η θυγατηρ σου απεθανεν τι ετι σκυλλεισ τον διδασκαλον
36 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]!”
ο δε ιησουσ ευθεωσ ακουσασ τον λογον λαλουμενον λεγει τω αρχισυναγωγω μη φοβου μονον πιστευε
37 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.
και ουκ αφηκεν ουδενα αυτω συνακολουθησαι ει μη πετρον και ιακωβον και ιωαννην τον αδελφον ιακωβου
και ερχεται εισ τον οικον του αρχισυναγωγου και θεωρει θορυβον κλαιοντασ και αλαλαζοντασ πολλα
39 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]!”
και εισελθων λεγει αυτοισ τι θορυβεισθε και κλαιετε το παιδιον ουκ απεθανεν αλλα καθευδει
40 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].
και κατεγελων αυτου ο δε εκβαλων παντασ παραλαμβανει τον πατερα του παιδιου και την μητερα και τουσ μετ αυτου και εισπορευεται οπου ην το παιδιον ανακειμενον
41 He took hold of the child’s hand and said to her [in her own language], “Talitha, Koum!” That means, “Little girl, get up!”
και κρατησασ τησ χειροσ του παιδιου λεγει αυτη ταλιθα κουμι ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον το κορασιον σοι λεγω εγειραι
42 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.
και ευθεωσ ανεστη το κορασιον και περιεπατει ην γαρ ετων δωδεκα και εξεστησαν εκστασει μεγαλη
43 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}.
και διεστειλατο αυτοισ πολλα ινα μηδεισ γνω τουτο και ειπεν δοθηναι αυτη φαγειν
