Mark 5
1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,
They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
2 and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
When Jesus was getting out of the boat, immediately there came up to him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
3 who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,
The man lived in the tombs. No one could restrain him anymore, not even with a chain.
4 because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,
He had been bound many times with shackles and with chains. He tore the chains apart and his shackles were shattered. No one had the strength to subdue him.
5 and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.
Every night and day in the tombs and in the mountains, he cried out and cut himself with sharp stones.
6 And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran to him and bowed down before him.
7 and having called with a loud voice, he said, 'What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'
He cried out with a loud voice, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you by God himself, do not torment me.”
8 (for he said to him, 'Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')
For he had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.”
9 and he was questioning him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he answered, saying, 'Legion [is] my name, because we are many;'
He asked him, “What is your name?” He answered him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10 and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.
He begged him again and again not to send them out of the region.
11 And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,
Now a great herd of pigs was there feeding on the hill,
12 and all the demons did call upon him, saying, 'Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'
and they begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs; let us enter into them.”
13 and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea — and they were about two thousand — and they were choked in the sea.
So he allowed them; the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs, and they rushed down the steep hill into the sea, and about two thousand pigs drowned in the sea.
14 And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;
Then those who were feeding the pigs ran away and reported what had happened in the city and in the countryside, and so people went out to see what had happened.
15 and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded — him having had the legion — and they were afraid;
Then they came to Jesus and they saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had been possessed by Legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16 and those having seen [it], declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine;
Those who had seen what happened to the demon-possessed man told them about it in detail, and they also them told about the pigs.
17 and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.
Then they started to beg him to leave their region.
18 And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him,
When he was getting into the boat, the demon-possessed man begged him that he might be with him.
19 and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, 'Go away to thy house, unto thine own [friends], and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee;
But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your house and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, and how he has shown you mercy.”
20 and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.
So he went away and began to proclaim the great things that Jesus had done for him in the Decapolis, and everyone was amazed.
21 And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,
Now when Jesus had crossed over again to the other side, in the boat, a great crowd gathered around him, as he was beside the sea.
22 and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet,
Then one of the leaders of the synagogue, named Jairus, came, and when he saw him, fell at his feet.
23 and he was calling upon him much, saying — 'My little daughter is at the last extremity — that having come, thou mayest lay on her [thy] hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;'
He begged again and again, saying, “My little daughter is near death. I beg you, come and lay your hands on her that she may be made well and live.”
24 and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,
So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and pressed close around him.
25 and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years,
Now a woman was there who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
26 and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,
She had suffered much from many doctors and had spent everything that she had, but instead of getting better she grew worse.
27 having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment,
When she had heard the reports about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak.
28 for she said — 'If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'
For she said, “If I touch just his clothes, I will be healed.”
29 and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague.
When she touched him, the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her affliction.
30 And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, 'Who did touch my garments?'
Jesus immediately realized in himself that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 and his disciples said to him, 'Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, 'Who did touch me!'
His disciples said to him, “You see this crowd pressed around you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'”
32 And he was looking round to see her who did this,
But Jesus looked around to see who had done it.
33 and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,
The woman, knowing what had happened to her, feared and trembled. She came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
34 and he said to her, 'Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your disease.”
35 As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's [house, certain], saying — 'Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?'
While he was speaking, some people came from the leader of the synagogue, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any longer?”
36 And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, 'Be not afraid, only believe.'
But when Jesus overheard what they said, he said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid. Just believe.”
37 And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;
He did not permit anyone to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;
They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue and he saw there people making a lot of noise; they were weeping and wailing loudly.
39 and having gone in he saith to them, 'Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;
When he entered the house, he said to them, “Why are you upset and why do you weep? The child is not dead but sleeps.”
40 and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,
They laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the father of the child and the mother and those who were with him, and he went in where the child was.
41 and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, 'Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, 'Damsel (I say to thee), arise.'
He took the hand of the child and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which being translated would be, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
42 And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years [old]; and they were amazed with a great amazement,
Immediately the child got up and walked (for she was twelve years of age). They were immediately astonished with overwhelming amazement.
43 and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.
He strictly ordered them that no one should know about this. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
