Mariko 5
1 Jesũ na arutwo ake magĩkinya mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Agerasi.
So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.
2 Na Jesũ aarĩkia kuuma gatarũ-inĩ, agĩtũngwo nĩ mũndũ warĩ na ngoma thũku oimĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.
3 Mũndũ ũcio aatũũraga kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kũmuoha na kĩndũ, o na mũnyororo.
This man lived among the tombs, nor could any one now secure him even 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.
for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link, and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong enough to master him.
5 Aatũũraga akayaga ũtukũ na mũthenya, kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ na irĩma-inĩ agĩĩtemangaga na mahiga.
And constantly, day and night, he remained among the tombs or on the hills, shrieking, and mangling himself with sharp stones.
6 Rĩrĩa oonire Jesũ arĩ o haraaya akĩhanyũka, akĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere yake.
And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and threw himself at His feet,
7 Akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrenda atĩa na niĩ, wee Jesũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai-Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno? Ndagũthaitha na Ngai ndũkaanyariire!”
crying out in a loud voice, "What hast Thou to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? In God's name I implore Thee not to torment me."
8 Nĩgũkorwo Jesũ aamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Wee ngoma ĩno thũku uma thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũyũ!”
For He had said to him, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
9 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩtagwo atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Njĩtagwo Legioni, nĩgũkorwo tũrĩ aingĩ.”
Jesus also questioned him. "What is your name?" He said. "Legion," he replied, "for there are a host of us."
10 Nake agĩkĩrĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ mũno ndagacingate ciume bũrũri ũcio.
And he earnestly entreated 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.
Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.
12 Ndaimono icio igĩthaitha Jesũ, ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ kũrĩ ngũrwe iria, tũtoonye thĩinĩ wacio.”
So they besought Jesus. "Send us to the swine," they said, "so that we may enter 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.
He gave them leave; and the foul spirits came out and entered into the swine, and the herd--about 2,000 in number--rushed headlong down the cliff into the Lake and were drowned in the Lake.
14 Arĩa maarĩithagia ngũrwe icio makĩũra, magĩthiĩ kũheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ na mĩgũnda-inĩ, nao andũ magĩũka kuona ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
The swineherds fled, and spread the news in town and country. So the people came to see what it was that had happened;
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 when they came to Jesus, they beheld the demoniac quietly seated, clothed and of sane mind--the man who had had the legion; and they were awe-stricken.
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 told them the particulars of what had happened to the demoniac, and all about the swine.
17 Nao andũ acio makĩambĩrĩria gũthaitha Jesũ oime bũrũri ũcio wao.
Then they began entreating Him to depart from their district.
18 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyaga gatarũ, mũndũ ũcio warutĩtwo ndaimono agĩthaitha Jesũ etĩkĩre mathiĩ nake.
As He was embarking, the man who had been possessed asked permission to accompany Him.
19 No Jesũ akĩmũgiria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inũka mũciĩ kũrĩ andũ anyu, ũmeere ũrĩa wothe Mwathani agwĩkĩire, o na ũrĩa akũiguĩrĩire tha.”
But He would not allow it. "Go home to your family," He said, "and report to them all that the Lord has done for you, and the mercy He has shown you."
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ akĩambĩrĩria kũheana ũhoro kũu Dekapoli wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Jesũ aamwĩkĩire. Nao andũ othe makĩgega.
So the man departed, and related publicly everywhere in the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.
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.
When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,
22 Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo mũnene ũmwe wa thunagogi wetagwo Jairũ agĩũka hau. Oona Jesũ, akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make
when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue--he was called Jair--who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,
23 akĩmũthaitha mũno, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kairĩtu gakwa gakirie gũkua. Ndagũthaitha ũũke, ũgakaigĩrĩre moko nĩgeetha kahone, gatũũre muoyo.”
and besought Him with many entreaties. "My little daughter," he said, "is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live."
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩthiĩ nake. Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra, na gĩkamũhatĩkaga na mĩena yothe.
And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him, and thronged Him on all sides.
25 Na rĩrĩ, hau nĩ haarĩ na mũtumia watũire oiraga thakame mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,
26 Nĩathĩĩnĩkĩte mũno agĩthondekwo nĩ mandagĩtarĩ aingĩ, na akahũthĩra kĩrĩa gĩothe aakoretwo nakĩo, no handũ ha kũhona aakĩragĩrĩria o kwĩhĩrwo.
and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,
27 Rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro wa Jesũ, agĩũka na thuutha wake gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kĩrĩndĩ, akĩhutia nguo yake,
heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak;
28 tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Ingĩhutia nguo ciake, no hone.”
for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."
29 O rĩmwe agĩtiga kuura, na akĩigua nĩehererio thĩĩna mwĩrĩ-inĩ wake.
In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.
30 Nake Jesũ o rĩmwe akĩigua atĩ hinya nĩwoima harĩ we. Akĩĩhũgũrĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũcio wahutia nguo ciakwa?”
Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 Nao arutwo ake makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Woria ‘Nũũ wahutia?’ ũkĩonaga ũrĩa andũ aya marakũhatĩka?”
"You see the multitude pressing you on all sides," His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"
32 No Jesũ akĩroranga one nũũ wamũhutĩtie.
But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,
33 Nake mũtumia ũcio, aamenya ũrĩa eekĩtwo, agĩũka, akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make akĩinainaga nĩ guoya, akĩmũhe ũhoro wothe ũrĩa watariĩ.
until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩtĩkio waku nĩguo watũma ũhone; thiĩ na thayũ na ũhone mũrimũ waku.”
"Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint."
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?”
While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say, "Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?"
36 Nake Jesũ akĩaga gũthikĩrĩria ũguo moigaga, akĩĩra mũnene ũcio wa thunagogi atĩrĩ, “Wee ĩtĩkia na ndũgetigĩre.”
But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, "Do not be afraid; 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 allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and the brothers James and John.
38 Na maakinya mũciĩ kwa mũnene ũcio wa thunagogi, Jesũ akĩona andũ magagaĩte makĩrĩraga na makiugagĩrĩria.
So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.
39 Agĩtoonya thĩinĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kĩagago gĩkĩ gĩothe na kĩrĩro nĩ cia kĩ? Mwana ti mũkuũ, no nĩ gũkoma akomete.”
He goes in. "Why all this outcry and loud weeping?" He asks; "the child is asleep, not dead."
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.
To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.
41 Akĩnyiita mwana guoko, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Talitha kumi!” (naguo wataũrwo nĩ ta kuuga, “Kairĩtu gaka, ndakwĩra atĩrĩ, ũkĩra!”)
Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, "Talitha, koum;" that is to say, "Little girl, I command you to wake!"
42 O rĩmwe kairĩtu kau gagĩũkĩra, gakĩambĩrĩria gũthiĩ (nako kaarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ). Nao mona ũguo makĩgega mũno.
Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;
43 Nake akĩmakaania mũno matikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye ũhoro ũcio, na akĩmeera makahe kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa.
but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
