Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
ⲁ̅ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲛϭⲓϩⲉⲛⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲁ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲃϩ ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲟⲩⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲃⲟⲓ.
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲧⲃⲃⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲃϩ.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ϭⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲣϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲅⲧⲟⲩⲟⲕ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ. ⲛⲅⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ.
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
ⲋ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲏϫ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲁⲏⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲏϭ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ.
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲁⲣⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛϯⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲟⲓ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲗⲟ.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
ⲑ̅ⲕⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛⲅⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲓϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧ ϣⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲉⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϥⲁⲁϥ.
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
ⲓ̅ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲙⲡⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲗ̅.
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.

12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)

13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲗⲟ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ. ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲏϫ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥϩⲏⲙ.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲥϭⲓϫ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲙ. ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲥⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲁϥ.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲇⲁⲓⲙⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ. ⲁϥⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲕϩ.
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲛϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲛⲗⲟϫⲗⲉϫ.
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲕⲣⲟ.
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ ⲛⲥⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲃⲁϣⲟⲣ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛⲉⲩⲃⲏⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϩⲁⲗⲁⲁⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁϩ. ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛⲧϥⲙⲁ ⲛⲣⲉⲕⲧⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ.
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲧⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲧⲁⲧⲱⲙⲥ ⲙⲡⲁⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲛⲅⲕⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲱⲙⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲕⲙⲧⲟ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ϩⲱⲃⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲛϩⲓⲙⲏ. ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲡⲉ.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ.
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲛⲧⲏⲩ ⲙⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϫⲁⲙⲏ.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϣ ⲙⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲏⲩ ⲙⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲛⲛⲅⲉⲣⲁⲍⲏⲛⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲣ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲙϩⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲧ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϣⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ.
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.

31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲣⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲣ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲕⲛⲁⲛⲟϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲁϫⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲉⲗⲏ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩ.
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ. ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϣⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲥϯⲡⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲧⲁⲅⲉⲗⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲧϣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.

34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
