Marko 5
1 Wotso ƒu la, eye woge ɖe Gadaratɔwo ƒe nutowo me.
Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;
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 he had no sooner stepped out of the boat, than a man out of the tombs came to meet him, a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Ame sia ƒe nɔƒee nye ameɖibɔ me, eye ame aɖeke magate ŋu ablae alo ade gakɔsɔkɔsɔ gɔ̃ hãe o,
who lived among the tombs.
4 elabena zi geɖe wodea gakɔsɔkɔsɔ eƒe asiwo kple afɔwo, ke etsoa wo keŋkeŋ. Ame aɖeke mesesẽ wui, alée wòanɔ anyi kpoo o.
Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master 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.
And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing 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.
As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before 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 shriek he cried out in a loud voice. "Jesus, son of God most high, what business have you with me? I adjure you by God, torment me not!"
8 Elabena Yesu nɔ gbɔgblɔm nɛ be, “Do go le ŋutsu sia me, wò gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃.”
For Jesus was saying, "Foul 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.”
He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many."
10 Azɔ gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo ɖe kuku na Yesu vevie be meganya yewo ɖo ɖe du didi aɖeke me o.
Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.
11 Eva eme be aƒehawo ƒe ha gã aɖe nɔ nu ɖum le togbɛ si te ɖe toa ŋu la dzi.
Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.
12 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃awo gblɔ na Yesu be, “Míeɖe kuku, nya mí ɖo ɖe ha mawo me.”
So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into 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 he gave them leave. And out came the foul spirits and entered the swine; and the drove rushed down from the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand, and were choked in 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.
On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what 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.
When they got to Jesus they found the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind - the man who had had the "Legion" - and they were awestruck.
16 Ame siwo va kpɔ nu si dzɔ ɖe gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ tɔ la kple haawo dzi la hã yi ɖagblɔe na ame bubuwo,
And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.
17 ale amewo gava fũu, eye woɖe kuku na Yesu be wòadzo le yewoƒe nuto la me ne yewoakpɔ vovo.
Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district.
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,
As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,
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.”
"Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon 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 went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.
21 Esi Yesu va ɖi go kple ʋua ɖe ƒua ƒe go evelia dzi la, ameha gã aɖe ƒo zi ɖe eŋu.
Then after Jesus had recrossed in a boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding around him; so he stayed on the seashore.
22 Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒedzikpɔla aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Yairo la va dze klo ɖe ekɔme,
Then one of the wardens of the synagogue, named Jairus, came up, and as soon as he saw Jesus, fell at his feet, with many entreaties,
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.”
"My little daughter," he said, "is dying. I beseech you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may recover and live."
24 Yesu tso kpla dze eyome, eye ameha gã aɖe kplɔ wo ɖo.
So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.
25 Nyɔnu aɖe nɔ ameawo dome si nɔ ʋusisidɔ lém ƒe wuieve sɔŋ.
Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage 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 of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather 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,
She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.
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.”
"If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."
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.
At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.
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?”
Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and 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?”
"You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and 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 about 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.
and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinyenyɔnu, wò xɔse da gbe le ŋuwò, heyi le ŋutifafa me, wò dɔléle la vɔ keŋkeŋ.”
"Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."
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 men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?"
36 Yesu se nya si wova gblɔ na Yairo, ale wòde dzi ƒo nɛ gblɔ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, xɔ dzinye se ko.”
But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe."
37 Azɔ Yesu tia Petro, Yakobo kple nɔvia Yohanes ko be woakplɔ ye ɖo ayi ɖe aƒea me.
He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and Jamesand 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.
As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.
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!”
"Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.
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.
"The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room 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!”).
Then he took the child’s hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"
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.
And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter 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, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.
