< Mark 5 >

1 Jesus and his disciples arrived on the [east] side of Lake [Galilee. They landed near] where the Gerasene [people lived].
Så kommo de över till gerasenernas land, på andra sidan sjön.
2 There was a man in that region whom evil spirits controlled.
Och strax då han hade stigit ur båten, kom en man, som var besatt av en oren ande, emot honom från gravarna där;
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,
han hade nämligen sitt tillhåll bland gravarna. Och icke ens med kedjor kunde man numera fängsla honom;
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].
ty väl hade han många gånger blivit fängslad med fotbojor och kedjor, men han hade slitit itu kedjorna och brutit sönder fotbojorna, och ingen kunde få makt med honom.
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.
Och han vistades alltid, dag och natt, bland gravarna och på bergen och skriade och sargade sig själv med stenar.
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.
När denne nu fick se Jesus på avstånd, skyndade han fram och föll ned för honom
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]!”
och ropade med hög röst och sade: "Vad har du med mig att göra, Jesus, du Guds, den Högstes, Son? Jag besvär dig vid Gud, plåga mig icke."
8
Jesus skulle nämligen just säga till honom: "Far ut ur mannen, du orena ande."
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].”
Då frågade han honom: "Vad är ditt namn?" Han svarade honom: "Legion är mitt namn, ty vi äro många."
10 Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.
Och han bad honom enträget att icke driva dem bort ifrån den trakten.
11 [At the same time], a large herd of pigs was (grazing/rooting for food) nearby on the hillside.
Nu gick där vid berget en stor svinhjord i bet.
12 So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”
Och de bådo honom och sade: "Sänd oss åstad in i svinen; låt oss få fara in i dem."
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.
Och han tillstadde dem det. Då gåvo sig de orena andarna åstad och foro in i svinen. Och hjorden, vid pass två tusen svin, störtade sig utför branten ned i sjön och drunknade i sjön.
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.
Men de som vaktade dem flydde och berättade härom i staden och på landsbygden; och folket gick åstad för att se vad det var som hade skett.
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].)
När de då kommo till Jesus, fingo de se den som hade varit besatt, mannen som hade haft legionen i sig, sitta där klädd och vid sina sinnen; och de betogos av häpnad.
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.
Och de som hade åsett händelsen förtäljde för dem vad som hade vederfarits den besatte, och vad som hade skett med svinen.
17 Then the people pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
Då begynte folket bedja honom att han skulle gå bort ifrån deras område.
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!”
När han sedan steg i båten, bad honom mannen som hade varit besatt, att han skulle få följa honom.
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.”
Men han tillstadde honom det icke, utan sade till honom: "Gå hem till de dina, och berätta för dem huru stora ting Herren har gjort med dig, och huru han har förbarmat sig över dig."
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.
Då gick han åstad och begynte förkunna i Dekapolis huru stora ting Jesus hade gjort med honom; och alla förundrade sig.
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.
Och när Jesus hade farit över i båten, tillbaka till andra stranden, församlade sig mycket folk omkring honom, där han stod vid sjön.
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.
Då kom en synagogföreståndare, vid namn Jairus, dit; och när denne fick se honom, föll han ned för hans fötter
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!”
och bad honom enträget och sade: "Min dotter ligger på sitt yttersta. Kom och lägg händerna på henne, så att hon bliver hulpen och får leva."
24 So Jesus [and the disciples] went with him. A large crowd followed [Jesus] and [many] pushed close to him.
Då gick han med mannen; och honom följde mycket folk, som trängde sig inpå honom.
25 There was a woman [in the crowd] who had vaginal bleeding [EUP] [every day] for twelve years.
Nu var där en kvinna som hade haft blodgång i tolv år,
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].
och som hade lidit mycket hos många läkare och kostat på sig allt vad hon ägde, utan att det hade varit henne till något gagn; snarare hade det blivit värre med henne.
27 After she heard that Jesus [healed people], she came [to where he was and pushed] in the crowd [close] behind Jesus.
Hon hade fått höra om Jesus och kom nu i folkhopen, bakom honom, och rörde vid hans mantel.
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.
Ty hon tänkte: "Om jag åtminstone får röra vid hans kläder, så bliver jag hulpen."
29 At once her bleeding stopped. At the same time, she sensed that she had been cured of {that [he] had cured} her illness.
Och strax uttorkade hennes blods källa, och hon kände i sin kropp att hon var botad från sin plåga.
30 Jesus [also] immediately sensed that his power had healed someone. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
Men strax då Jesus inom sig förnam vilken kraft som hade gått ut ifrån honom, vände han sig om i folkhopen och frågade: "Vem rörde vid mina kläder?"
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])”
Hans lärjungar sade till honom: "Du ser huru folket tränger på, och ändå frågar du: 'Vem rörde vid mig?'"
32 But Jesus kept looking around in order to see the one who had done it.
Då såg han sig omkring för att få se den som hade gjort detta.
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].
Men kvinnan fruktade och bävade, ty hon visste vad som hade skett med henne; och hon kom fram och föll ned för honom och sade honom hela sanningen.
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].”
Då sade han till henne: "Min dotter, din tro har hjälpt dig. Gå i frid, och var botad från din plåga."
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]”
Medan han ännu talade, kommo några från synagogföreståndarens hus och sade: "Din dotter är död; du må icke vidare göra mästaren omak."
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]!”
Men när Jesus märkte vad som talades, sade han till synagogföreståndaren: "Frukta icke, tro allenast."
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.
Och han tillstadde ingen att följa med, utom Petrus och Jakob och Johannes, Jakobs broder.
Så kommo de till synagogföreståndarens hus, och han fick där se en hop människor som höjde klagolåt och gräto och jämrade sig högt.
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]!”
Och han gick in och sade till dem: "Varför klagen I och gråten? Flickan är icke död, hon sover."
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].
Då hånlogo de åt honom. Men han visade ut dem allasammans; och han tog med sig allenast flickans fader och moder och dem som hade fått följa med honom, och gick in dit där flickan låg.
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!”
Och han tog flickan vid handen och sade till henne: "Talita, kum" (det betyder: "Flicka, jag säger dig, stå upp").
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.
Och strax stod flickan upp och begynte gå omkring (hon var nämligen tolv år gammal); och de blevo strax uppfyllda av stor häpnad.
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}.
Men han förbjöd dem strängeligen att låta någon få veta vad som hade skett. Därefter tillsade han att man skulle giva henne något att äta.
