< Marko 5 >

1 Wotso ƒu la, eye woge ɖe Gadaratɔwo ƒe nutowo me.
Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.
2 Esi Yesu do go tso ʋua me la, ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ le la do go tso yɔdoawo me va kpee.
And when He got out of the boat, right away a man with an unclean spirit met Him, coming from the tombs.
3 Ame sia ƒe nɔƒee nye ameɖibɔ me, eye ame aɖeke magate ŋu ablae alo ade gakɔsɔkɔsɔ gɔ̃ hãe o,
—He had his dwelling among the tombs. No one could bind him, not even with chains,
4 elabena zi geɖe wodea gakɔsɔkɔsɔ eƒe asiwo kple afɔwo, ke etsoa wo keŋkeŋ. Ame aɖeke mesesẽ wui, alée wòanɔ anyi kpoo o.
because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, only to have had the chains torn apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; no one had been strong enough to tame him.
5 Le ŋkeke kple zã me siaa la, enɔa tsatsam le yɔdowo dome kple togbɛwo dzi, nɔa ɣli dom henɔa eɖokui sim kple kpe ɖaɖɛwo.
Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.—
6 Ame sia kpɔ Yesu xoxoxo esi wònɔ ƒua dzi gbɔna, eya ta esi wòɖi go ko la, eƒu du va tui hedze klo ɖe eƒe akɔme.
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and kneeled down to Him,
7 Edo ɣli sesĩe be, “Nya kae le nye kple wò dome, wò Yesu, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe Vi? Le Mawu ta mègawɔ funyafunya aɖekem o!”
and with a loud cry he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, don't torment me!”
8 Elabena Yesu nɔ gbɔgblɔm nɛ be, “Do go le ŋutsu sia me, wò gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃.”
Because He was saying to him, “You unclean spirit, come out of the man!”
9 Yesu bia gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la be, “Ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Eye wòɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋkɔnyee nye Legio, elabena míesɔ gbɔ ɖe ame sia me.”
Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “Legion is my name, because we are many.”
10 Azɔ gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo ɖe kuku na Yesu vevie be meganya yewo ɖo ɖe du didi aɖeke me o.
He started begging Him repeatedly that He would not send them out of that region.
11 Eva eme be aƒehawo ƒe ha gã aɖe nɔ nu ɖum le togbɛ si te ɖe toa ŋu la dzi.
Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside.
12 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo gblɔ na Yesu be, “Míeɖe kuku, nya mí ɖo ɖe ha mawo me.”
So all the demons begged Him saying, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
13 Yesu na mɔ wo be woayi, eye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo do go le ame la me enumake yi ɖage ɖe haawo me. Haawo ƒe habɔbɔ si anɔ abe akpe eve ene la katã ƒu du sesĩe ɖanyrɔ wo ɖokuiwo ɖe ƒu la me doo heno tsi ku.
And forthwith Jesus gave them permission; and coming out the unclean spirits went into the pigs (there were about two thousand); but the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned by the sea.
14 Hakplɔlawo lé du tsɔ sesĩe eye esi wonɔ yiyim la, wokaka nya la ɖe duwo kple kɔƒewo me. Esia wɔe be ame sia ame yi be yeakpɔ nu si dzɔ la.
So those who were tending the pigs ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside. And they went out to see what it was that had happened.
15 Le esia ta, eteƒe medidi o ko ameha gã aɖe va ƒo zi ɖe afi si Yesu le, gake esi wokpɔ ŋutsu si me legio gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo nɔ tsã la wòdo awu nyuie, nɔ anyi kpoo la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo katã.
They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demonized, who had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16 Ame siwo va kpɔ nu si dzɔ ɖe gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ tɔ la kple haawo dzi la hã yi ɖagblɔe na ame bubuwo,
Those who had seen it related to them how it happened to the demonized man, and about the pigs.
17 ale amewo gava fũu, eye woɖe kuku na Yesu be wòadzo le yewoƒe nuto la me ne yewoakpɔ vovo.
Then they began to implore Him to depart from their borders.
18 Esia ta Yesu gbugbɔ ge ɖe ʋu la me be yeadzo. Tete ŋutsu si me wònya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le la ɖe kuku nɛ be yeayi kplii,
Well upon His getting into the boat, the man who had been demonized started begging Him that he might be with Him.
19 gake egblɔ nɛ be, “Yi aƒe me le nɔviwòwo gbɔ, eye nàgblɔ nu gã siwo Mawu wɔ na wò kple ale si wòkpɔ nublanui na wò la na wo.”
But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your family and report to them how much the Lord has done for you; and He had mercy on you.”
20 Ŋutsu la dze mɔ, eye wòtsa le du ewo siwo le nutoa me la me henɔ gbeƒã ɖem nu gã siwo Yesu wɔ nɛ la na ame sia ame, eye eƒe nya la wɔ nuku na ameawo ŋutɔ.
So he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and all were marveling.
21 Esi Yesu va ɖi go kple ʋua ɖe ƒua ƒe go evelia dzi la, ameha gã aɖe ƒo zi ɖe eŋu.
Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.
22 Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒedzikpɔla aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Yairo la va dze klo ɖe ekɔme,
And then, one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, comes, and upon finding Him he falls at His feet
23 eye wòɖe kuku nɛ vevie be wòava da gbe le ye vinyɔnuvi sue si dze dɔ la ŋu na ye. Egblɔ na Yesu be, “Vinye la ɖo kudo nu vɔ, eya ta meɖe kuku va da asi ɖe edzi be wòagbɔ agbe.”
and pleads earnestly with Him, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; do come and lay your hands on her so that she may be saved, and she will live.”
24 Yesu tso kpla dze eyome, eye ameha gã aɖe kplɔ wo ɖo.
So He went with him. A large crowd was also following Him, and they were pressing around Him.
25 Nyɔnu aɖe nɔ ameawo dome si nɔ ʋusisidɔ lém ƒe wuieve sɔŋ.
Now a certain woman—who had been bleeding for twelve years,
26 Nyɔnu sia kpe fu, tsa le atikewɔla geɖewo dzi ƒe geɖewo, eye wògblẽ ga geɖe hã be woada dɔa na ye, gake mekpɔ dɔyɔyɔ o, dɔléle la ɖeko wòganyra ɖe edzi nɛ boŋ.
and had suffered many things under many doctors, and had spent all that she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse—
27 Ese nukunu geɖe siwo Yesu wɔ, eya ta eʋli eɖokui, to ameha la dome hezɔ va Yesu megbe, eye wòka asi eƒe awu ŋu,
when she heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched His garment.
28 elabena exɔe se, eye wògblɔ le eɖokui me be, “Nenye be mete ŋu ka asi eƒe awu ŋu teti ko la, nye lãme asẽ.”
(She had kept saying, “If I can just touch His clothes, I will be healed.”)
29 Vavã esi wòka asi Yesu ƒe awu ŋu teti ko la, ʋu si nɔ dodom le eŋu la tɔ enumake, eye wòse le eɖokui me hã be yehaya.
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was healed from the affliction.
30 Yesu se le eɖokui me enumake be dɔyɔyɔ ƒe ŋusẽ aɖe do le ye me, eya ta etrɔ kɔ hebia be, “Ame kae ka asi nye awu ŋu?”
And instantly Jesus perceived within Himself that some power had gone out of Him, and turning around in the crowd He said, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Esi ame gbogbo siawo ƒo zi ɖe ŋuwò ɖe, aleke wɔ nègale biabiam be ame kae ka asi ŋuwò?”
So His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’?”
32 Gake Yesu ganɔ ŋku tsam kokoko be yeakpɔ ame si wɔ nenem nu sia.
But He kept looking around to see who had done it.
33 Kasia nyɔnu la do le ameawo dome kple vɔvɔ̃ kple dzodzo nyanyanya va dze klo ɖe Yesu ƒe afɔ nu hegblɔ nu si wòwɔ la nɛ.
So the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinyenyɔnu, wò xɔse da gbe le ŋuwò, heyi le ŋutifafa me, wò dɔléle la vɔ keŋkeŋ.”
And He said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go into peace and be healed from your affliction.”
35 Le esime Yesu nɔ nu ƒom na nyɔnu la la, ame dɔdɔwo tso ƒuƒoƒemegã Yairo ƒe aƒe me va do kple nya sia be via nyɔnuvi sue la ku. Ame dɔdɔa gblɔ na Yairo be, “Viwo la ku xoxo, eye megahiã be nàɖe fu na Nufiala la o.”
While He was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's house saying: “Your daughter died. Why trouble the teacher further?”
36 Yesu se nya si wova gblɔ na Yairo, ale wòde dzi ƒo nɛ gblɔ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, xɔ dzinye se ko.”
But immediately upon hearing the spoken message Jesus said to the synagogue ruler, “Don't be afraid; just believe!”
37 Azɔ Yesu tia Petro, Yakobo kple nɔvia Yohanes ko be woakplɔ ye ɖo ayi ɖe aƒea me.
He allowed no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 Esi wòva ɖo ƒuƒoƒemegã ƒe agbonu la, Yesu kpɔ be zitɔtɔ gã aɖe nɔ teƒe la, elabena amewo nɔ avi fam henɔ ɣli dom hoo.
Then He came to the synagogue ruler's house and found a commotion—weeping and loud wailing.
39 Ege ɖe aƒea me, eye wòƒo nu na ameawo gblɔ be, “Nu ka ƒe avifafa kple hoowɔwɔe nye esia? Ɖevi la meku o, ke boŋ alɔ̃ wòdɔ!”
So upon entering He said to them: “Why are you making such a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
40 Ameawo koe ʋuu le nya si wògblɔ la ta. Ke Yesu nya wo do goe le aƒea me. Azɔ ekplɔ ɖevi la fofo, dadaa kple nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo ɖe asi, eye woge ɖe xɔ si me wotsɔ ɖevi la mlɔ la me.
But they started ridiculing Him. After He put them all out, He took the child's father and mother, and those with Him, and went in where the child was lying.
41 Yesu lé ɖevi la ƒe alɔnu, eye wòdo ɣli gblɔ nɛ be “Talita kumi!” (si gɔmee nye be, “Nyɔnuvi sue, mele egblɔm na wò be fɔ!”).
And taking the child by the hand He said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
42 Nyɔnuvi la ti kpo tso aba la dzi, eye wòzɔ azɔli (nyɔnuvi la xɔ ƒe wuieve). Le nyateƒe me la, gbɔgblɔ bu ɖe edzilawo.
Immediately the girl got up and started walking around (she was twelve years old). And they were overcome with great amazement.
43 Ke Yesu de se na wo vevie ŋutɔ be womegagblɔ nu si dzɔ la na ame aɖeke o. Azɔ ebia tso wo si be woadi nane na ɖevi la wòaɖu.
He gave them strict orders that no one should know about it, and said to give her something to eat.
