< Mariko 5 >

1 Jesũ na arutwo ake magĩkinya mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Agerasi.
And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 Na Jesũ aarĩkia kuuma gatarũ-inĩ, agĩtũngwo nĩ mũndũ warĩ na ngoma thũku oimĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.
3 Mũndũ ũcio aatũũraga kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kũmuoha na kĩndũ, o na mũnyororo.
He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
4 Nĩgũkorwo nĩohagwo kaingĩ na mĩnyororo moko na magũrũ, no akamĩtuanga icunjĩ na akoinanga igera iria ciamuohaga magũrũ. Na gũtirĩ mũndũ warĩ na hinya wa kũmũhooreria.
Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
5 Aatũũraga akayaga ũtukũ na mũthenya, kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ na irĩma-inĩ agĩĩtemangaga na mahiga.
And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 Rĩrĩa oonire Jesũ arĩ o haraaya akĩhanyũka, akĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere yake.
And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;
7 Akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda atĩa na niĩ, wee Jesũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai-Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno? Ndagũthaitha na Ngai ndũkaanyariire!”
And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.
8 Nĩgũkorwo Jesũ aamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Wee ngoma ĩno thũku uma thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũyũ!”
For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
9 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩtagwo atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Njĩtagwo Legioni, nĩgũkorwo tũrĩ aingĩ.”
And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.
10 Nake agĩkĩrĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ mũno ndagacingate ciume bũrũri ũcio.
And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Na rĩrĩ, haarĩ na rũũru rũnene rwa ngũrwe rwarĩĩaga harũrũka-inĩ cia kĩrĩma kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na hau.
Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.
12 Ndaimono icio igĩthaitha Jesũ, ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ kũrĩ ngũrwe iria, tũtoonye thĩinĩ wacio.”
And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.
13 Nake agĩciĩtĩkĩria. Nacio ndaimono icio ikiuma igĩthiĩ igĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa ngũrwe. Rũũru rũu ruothe rwa mũigana wa ngũrwe ngiri igĩrĩ, rũkĩharũrũka kĩhurũrũka-inĩ na ihenya rũgĩtoonya iria-inĩ, rũkĩũrĩra.
And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.
14 Arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio makĩũra, magĩthiĩ kũheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ na mĩgũnda-inĩ, nao andũ magĩũka kuona ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.
15 Na rĩrĩa mookire harĩ Jesũ, makĩona mũndũ ũrĩa warĩ na Legioni ya ndaimono aikarĩte thĩ hau, ehumbĩte nguo na arĩ na meciiria mega; nao magĩĩtigĩra.
And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.
16 Andũ arĩa moonete ũndũ ũcio ũgĩĩkwo makĩĩra andũ acio angĩ maũndũ marĩa mekĩkire kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio waiyũrĩtwo nĩ ndaimono, o na makĩmahe ũhoro wa ngũrwe.
And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.
17 Nao andũ acio makĩambĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ oime bũrũri ũcio wao.
And they made a request to him to go out of their country.
18 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyaga gatarũ, mũndũ ũcio warutĩtwo ndaimono agĩthaitha Jesũ etĩkĩre mathiĩ nake.
And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.
19 No Jesũ akĩmũgiria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inũka mũciĩ kũrĩ andũ anyu, ũmeere ũrĩa wothe Mwathani agwĩkĩire, o na ũrĩa akũiguĩrĩire tha.”
And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩambĩrĩria kũheana ũhoro kũu Dekapoli wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Jesũ aamwĩkĩire. Nao andũ othe makĩgega.
And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.
21 Nake Jesũ aarĩkia kũringa rĩngĩ na gatarũ na aakinya mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ gĩkĩũngana harĩ we o hau aarĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.
22 Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo mũnene ũmwe wa thunagogi wetagwo Jairũ agĩũka hau. Oona Jesũ, akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make
And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,
23 akĩmũthaitha mũno, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kairĩtu gakwa gakirie gũkua. Ndagũthaitha ũũke, ũgakaigĩrĩre moko nĩgeetha kahone, gatũũre muoyo.”
And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩthiĩ nake. Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra, na gĩkamũhatĩkaga na mĩena yothe.
And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.
25 Na rĩrĩ, hau nĩ haarĩ na mũtumia watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 Nĩathĩĩnĩkĩte mũno agĩthondekwo nĩ mandagĩtarĩ aingĩ, na akahũthĩra kĩrĩa gĩothe aakoretwo nakĩo, no handũ ha kũhona aakĩragĩrĩria o kwĩhĩrwo.
And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,
27 Rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro wa Jesũ, agĩũka na thuutha wake gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kĩrĩndĩ, akĩhutia nguo yake,
When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.
28 tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Ingĩhutia nguo ciake, no hone.”
For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
29 O rĩmwe agĩtiga kuura, na akĩigua nĩehererio thĩĩna mwĩrĩ-inĩ wake.
And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.
30 Nake Jesũ o rĩmwe akĩigua atĩ hinya nĩwoima harĩ we. Akĩĩhũgũrĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũcio wahutia nguo ciakwa?”
And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?
31 Nao arutwo ake makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Woria ‘Nũũ wahutia?’ ũkĩonaga ũrĩa andũ aya marakũhatĩka?”
And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?
32 No Jesũ akĩroranga one nũũ wamũhutĩtie.
And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,
33 Nake mũtumia ũcio, aamenya ũrĩa eekĩtwo, agĩũka, akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make akĩinainaga nĩ guoya, akĩmũhe ũhoro wothe ũrĩa watariĩ.
The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩtĩkio waku nĩguo watũma ũhone; thiĩ na thayũ na ũhone mũrimũ waku.”
And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.
35 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩaragia-rĩ, hagĩũka andũ moimĩte kwa Jairũ ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa thunagogi, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩguo nĩakua. Ũgũgĩthĩĩnia mũrutani rĩngĩ nĩkĩ?”
And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?
36 Nake Jesũ akĩaga gũthikĩrĩria ũguo moigaga, akĩĩra mũnene ũcio wa thunagogi atĩrĩ, “Wee ĩtĩkia na ndũgetigĩre.”
But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.
37 Jesũ ndetĩkĩririe mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amũrũmĩrĩre, o tiga Petero na Jakubu na Johana mũrũ wa nyina na Jakubu.
And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38 Na maakinya mũciĩ kwa mũnene ũcio wa thunagogi, Jesũ akĩona andũ magagaĩte makĩrĩraga na makiugagĩrĩria.
And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.
39 Agĩtoonya thĩinĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kĩagago gĩkĩ gĩothe na kĩrĩro nĩ cia kĩ? Mwana ti mũkuũ, no nĩ gũkoma akomete.”
And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.
40 Nao makĩmũthekerera. Na thuutha wa kũmoimia nja othe, akĩoya ithe na nyina wa mwana na arutwo arĩa aarĩ nao magĩtoonya harĩa mwana ũcio aarĩ.
And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 Akĩnyiita mwana guoko, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Talitha kumi!” (naguo wataũrwo nĩ ta kuuga, “Kairĩtu gaka, ndakwĩra atĩrĩ, ũkĩra!”)
And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.
42 O rĩmwe kairĩtu kau gagĩũkĩra, gakĩambĩrĩria gũthiĩ (nako kaarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ). Nao mona ũguo makĩgega mũno.
And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.
43 Nake akĩmakaania mũno matikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye ũhoro ũcio, na akĩmeera makahe kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.
And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.
