Κατα Μαρκον 5
1 και ηλθον εις το περαν της θαλασσης εις την χωραν των γερασηνων
They came to the other side of the sea – the region of the Gerasenes;
2 και εξελθοντος αυτου εκ του πλοιου {VAR1: [ευθυς] } {VAR2: ευθυς } υπηντησεν αυτω εκ των μνημειων ανθρωπος εν πνευματι ακαθαρτω
and, as soon as Jesus had got out of the boat, he met a man coming out of the tombs, who was under the power of a foul spirit,
3 ος την κατοικησιν ειχεν εν τοις μνημασιν και ουδε αλυσει ουκετι ουδεις εδυνατο αυτον δησαι
and who made his home in the tombs. No one had ever been able to secure him, even with a chain;
4 δια το αυτον πολλακις πεδαις και αλυσεσιν δεδεσθαι και διεσπασθαι υπ αυτου τας αλυσεις και τας πεδας συντετριφθαι και ουδεις ισχυεν αυτον δαμασαι
for, though he had many times been left secured with fetters and chains, he had snapped the chains and broken the fetters to pieces, and no one could master him.
5 και δια παντος νυκτος και ημερας εν τοις μνημασιν και εν τοις ορεσιν ην κραζων και κατακοπτων εαυτον λιθοις
Night and day alike, he was continually shrieking in the tombs and among the hills, and cutting himself with stones.
6 και ιδων τον ιησουν απο μακροθεν εδραμεν και προσεκυνησεν {VAR1: αυτον } {VAR2: αυτω }
Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed to the ground before him,
7 και κραξας φωνη μεγαλη λεγει τι εμοι και σοι ιησου υιε του θεου του υψιστου ορκιζω σε τον θεον μη με βασανισης
shrieking out in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? For God’s sake do not torment me!”
8 ελεγεν γαρ αυτω εξελθε το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον εκ του ανθρωπου
For Jesus had said, “Come out from the man, you foul spirit.”
9 και επηρωτα αυτον τι ονομα σοι και λεγει αυτω λεγιων ονομα μοι οτι πολλοι εσμεν
And he asked him, “What is your name?” “My name,” he said, “is Legion, for there are many of us;”
10 και παρεκαλει αυτον πολλα ινα μη αυτα αποστειλη εξω της χωρας
and he begged Jesus again and again not to send them away out of that country.
11 ην δε εκει προς τω ορει αγελη χοιρων μεγαλη βοσκομενη
There was a large herd of pigs close by, feeding on the hillside;
12 και παρεκαλεσαν αυτον λεγοντες πεμψον ημας εις τους χοιρους ινα εις αυτους εισελθωμεν
and the spirits begged Jesus, “Send us into the pigs so that we can take possession of them.”
13 και επετρεψεν αυτοις και εξελθοντα τα πνευματα τα ακαθαρτα εισηλθον εις τους χοιρους και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την θαλασσαν ως δισχιλιοι και επνιγοντο εν τη θαλασση
Jesus gave them leave. They came out, and entered into the pigs; and the herd – about two thousand in number – rushed down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
14 και οι βοσκοντες αυτους εφυγον και απηγγειλαν εις την πολιν και εις τους αγρους και ηλθον ιδειν τι εστιν το γεγονος
Then the men who tended them ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country around; and the people went to see what had happened.
15 και ερχονται προς τον ιησουν και θεωρουσιν τον δαιμονιζομενον καθημενον ιματισμενον και σωφρονουντα τον εσχηκοτα τον λεγιωνα και εφοβηθησαν
When they came to Jesus, they found the possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind – the man who had had the ‘Legion’ in him – and they were awe-struck.
16 και διηγησαντο αυτοις οι ιδοντες πως εγενετο τω δαιμονιζομενω και περι των χοιρων
Then those who had seen it related to them all that had happened to the possessed man, as well as about the pigs;
17 και ηρξαντο παρακαλειν αυτον απελθειν απο των οριων αυτων
so they began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18 και εμβαινοντος αυτου εις το πλοιον παρεκαλει αυτον ο δαιμονισθεις ινα μετ αυτου η
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the possessed man begged him to let him stay with him.
19 και ουκ αφηκεν αυτον αλλα λεγει αυτω υπαγε εις τον οικον σου προς τους σους και απαγγειλον αυτοις οσα ο κυριος σοι πεποιηκεν και ηλεησεν σε
But Jesus refused. “Go back to your home, to your own people,” he said, “and tell them of all that the Lord has done for you, and how he took pity on you.”
20 και απηλθεν και ηρξατο κηρυσσειν εν τη δεκαπολει οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο ιησους και παντες εθαυμαζον
So the man went, and began to proclaim in the district of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
21 και διαπερασαντος του ιησου {VAR1: εν τω πλοιω } {VAR2: [εν τω πλοιω] } παλιν εις το περαν συνηχθη οχλος πολυς επ αυτον και ην παρα την θαλασσαν
By the time Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the opposite shore, a great number of people had gathered to meet him, and were standing by the sea.
22 και ερχεται εις των αρχισυναγωγων ονοματι ιαιρος και ιδων αυτον πιπτει προς τους ποδας αυτου
One of the leaders of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came and, as soon as he saw Jesus, threw himself at his feet and begged him repeatedly,
23 και παρακαλει αυτον πολλα λεγων οτι το θυγατριον μου εσχατως εχει ινα ελθων επιθης τας χειρας αυτη ινα σωθη και ζηση
saying, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Please come and place your hands on her so that she may recover and live.”
24 και απηλθεν μετ αυτου και ηκολουθει αυτω οχλος πολυς και συνεθλιβον αυτον
So Jesus went with him. A great number of people followed Jesus, and kept pressing around him.
25 και γυνη ουσα εν ρυσει αιματος δωδεκα ετη
Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from hemorrhage,
26 και πολλα παθουσα υπο πολλων ιατρων και δαπανησασα τα παρ αυτης παντα και μηδεν ωφεληθεισα αλλα μαλλον εις το χειρον ελθουσα
and undergone much at the hands of many doctors, (spending all she had without obtaining any relief, but, on the contrary, growing worse),
27 ακουσασα {VAR1: τα } περι του ιησου ελθουσα εν τω οχλω οπισθεν ηψατο του ιματιου αυτου
heard about Jesus, came behind in the crowd, and touched his cloak.
28 ελεγεν γαρ οτι εαν αψωμαι καν των ιματιων αυτου σωθησομαι
“If I can only touch his clothes,” she said, “I will get well!”
29 και ευθυς εξηρανθη η πηγη του αιματος αυτης και εγνω τω σωματι οτι ιαται απο της μαστιγος
At once her bleeding stopped, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her affliction.
30 και ευθυς ο ιησους επιγνους εν εαυτω την εξ αυτου δυναμιν εξελθουσαν επιστραφεις εν τω οχλω ελεγεν τις μου ηψατο των ιματιων
Jesus at once became aware of the power that had gone out from him, and, turning around in the crowd, he said, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 και ελεγον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου βλεπεις τον οχλον συνθλιβοντα σε και λεγεις τις μου ηψατο
“You see the people pressing around you,” exclaimed his disciples, “and yet you say ‘Who touched me?’”
32 και περιεβλεπετο ιδειν την τουτο ποιησασαν
But Jesus looked about to see who had done it.
33 η δε γυνη φοβηθεισα και τρεμουσα ειδυια ο γεγονεν αυτη ηλθεν και προσεπεσεν αυτω και ειπεν αυτω πασαν την αληθειαν
Then the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 ο δε ειπεν αυτη θυγατηρ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε υπαγε εις ειρηνην και ισθι υγιης απο της μαστιγος σου
“Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you; be free from your affliction.”
35 ετι αυτου λαλουντος ερχονται απο του αρχισυναγωγου λεγοντες οτι η θυγατηρ σου απεθανεν τι ετι σκυλλεις τον διδασκαλον
Before he had finished speaking, some people from the house of the synagogue leader came and said, “Your daughter is dead! Why should you trouble the teacher further?”
36 ο δε ιησους παρακουσας τον λογον λαλουμενον λεγει τω αρχισυναγωγω μη φοβου μονον πιστευε
But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only have faith.”
37 και ουκ αφηκεν ουδενα μετ αυτου συνακολουθησαι ει μη τον πετρον και ιακωβον και ιωαννην τον αδελφον ιακωβου
And he allowed no one to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 και ερχονται εις τον οικον του αρχισυναγωγου και θεωρει θορυβον και κλαιοντας και αλαλαζοντας πολλα
Presently they reached the leader’s house, where Jesus saw a scene of confusion – people weeping and wailing incessantly.
39 και εισελθων λεγει αυτοις τι θορυβεισθε και κλαιετε το παιδιον ουκ απεθανεν αλλα καθευδει
“Why this confusion and weeping?” he said on entering. “The little child is not dead; she is asleep.”
40 και κατεγελων αυτου αυτος δε εκβαλων παντας παραλαμβανει τον πατερα του παιδιου και την μητερα και τους μετ αυτου και εισπορευεται οπου ην το παιδιον
They began to laugh at him; but he sent them all out, and then, with the child’s father and mother and his companions, went into the room where she was lying.
41 και κρατησας της χειρος του παιδιου λεγει αυτη ταλιθα κουμ ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον το κορασιον σοι λεγω εγειρε
Taking her hand, Jesus said to her, “Talitha, koum!” – which means ‘little girl, I am speaking to you – Rise!’
42 και ευθυς ανεστη το κορασιον και περιεπατει ην γαρ ετων δωδεκα και εξεστησαν {VAR1: ευθυς } {VAR2: [ευθυς] } εκστασει μεγαλη
The little girl stood up at once, and began to walk about; for she was twelve years old. And, as soon as they saw it, they were overwhelmed with amazement;
43 και διεστειλατο αυτοις πολλα ινα μηδεις γνοι τουτο και ειπεν δοθηναι αυτη φαγειν
but Jesus repeatedly cautioned them not to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.
