Mak 5
1 Jezi ak disip li yo rive lòt bò lanmè Galile a, nan peyi Jerazenyen yo.
Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;
2 Jezi desann soti nan kannòt la. Menm lè a, yon nonm soti nan mitan tonm mò yo, li vin devan Jezi.
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 Nonm sa a te gen yon move lespri sou li, li te pran tonm yo fè kay li. Pesonn pa t' kapab mare l', pa menm avèk chenn.
who lived among the tombs.
4 Anpil fwa, yo te mete tou de pye l' yo nan yon sep an fè, yo te mare tou de menm l' yo ak yon chenn. Men, chak fwa, li te jwenn mwayen kase ni chenn lan, ni sèp la. Pesonn pa t' gen fòs ase pou donte li.
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 Tout tan, lajounen kou lannwit, li t'ap pwonmennen nan mitan tonm yo osinon sou ti mòn yo. Li t'ap rele san rete, li t'ap matirize kò l' ak kout wòch.
And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing himself with stones.
6 Li te yon bèl distans lè li wè Jezi. Li kouri, li vin mete ajenou devan li.
As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before him,
7 Li pran rele byen fò, li di l' konsa: -Kisa m' gen avèk ou, Jezi, pitit Bondye ki nan syèl la? Tanpri souple, nan non Bondye, pa fè m' soufri.
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 (Li te pale konsa, paske Jezi te pase l' lòd sa a: Move lespri, soti sou nonm lan).
For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
9 Lè sa a, Jezi mande li: -Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn li: -Yo rele m' Rejiman, paske nou anpil.
He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many."
10 Epi li di Jezi: -Tanpri souple, pa mete nou deyò nan peyi a.
Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.
11 Sou ti mòn lan te gen yon bann kochon ki t'ap chache manje pou yo manje.
Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.
12 Tout move lespri yo pran mande Jezi: -Tanpri souple, voye nou sou kochon sa yo non poun antre nan yo.
So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
13 Jezi bay yo pèmisyon sa a. Lè sa a, move lespri yo soti sou nonm lan, yo antre nan kochon yo. Lamenm, tout bann kochon yo pran degrengole desann bò falèz la, al neye tèt yo nan lanmè. Te gen demil (2.000) kochon konsa nan bann lan.
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 Moun ki t'ap gade kochon yo pran kouri. Yo gaye nouvèl la nan lavil la kou andeyò. Moun soti toupatou vin wè sak te rive.
On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.
15 Lè yo rive bò kote Jezi te ye a, yo wè nonm ki te gen rejiman move lespri sou li a. Li te chita chita l', byen abiye ak tout bon sans li sou li. Yo tout te pè.
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 Moun ki te asiste bagay la mete rakonte lòt yo sa ki te rive nonm ak move lespri a ansanm ak kochon yo.
And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.
17 Lè sa a, yo mande Jezi: -Tanpri souple, kite peyi a.
Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district.
18 Antan Jezi t'ap moute nan kannòt la, nonm ki te gen move lespri a mande l' pèmisyon pou li ale ave l' tou.
As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,
19 Men Jezi pa t' kite l' ale, li di l' konsa: -Ale, tounen lakay ou, nan mitan fanmi ou yo. Rakonte yo tou sa Bondye fè pou ou, kijan li te gen pitye pou ou.
"Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."
20 Nonm lan pati, li ale nan tout rejyon yo rele Dis Vil la. Li mache fè konnen tou sa Jezi te fè pou li. Se te yon gwo sezisman pou tout moun ki te tande l' pale.
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 Jezi tounen lòt bò lanmè a. Li annik desann soti nan kannòt la, yon foul moun gen tan sanble bò kote li. Antan li sou rivaj la,
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 Jayiris, yonn nan chèf sinagòg yo, vin rive. Lè Jayiris wè Jezi, li lage kò l' nan pye li.
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 Li mande Jezi: -Pitit fi m' lan prèt pou mouri. Tanpri souple, vin mete men ou sou li pou l' ka geri. vin ba l' lavi pou mwen.
"My little daughter," he said, "is dying. I beseech you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may recover and live."
24 Jezi pati avèk li. Yon gwo foul moun t'ap swiv li. Yo te kwense l' toupatou.
So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.
25 Men te gen yon fanm nan foul la ki te malad: li te gen pèdisyon depi douzan.
Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
26 Li te soufri anpil nan men plizyè dòktè, li te fin depanse tout byen li; men li pa t' jwenn okenn soulajman. Okontrè, maladi a te vin pi rèd sou li.
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 Li te tande pale sou Jezi. Li fofile kò l' nan foul la pa dèyè Jezi, epi li manyen ke rad li.
She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.
28 Fanm lan te di nan kè l': Si m' kapab manyen ke rad li sèlman, m'a geri.
"If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."
29 Menm lè a san an rete, epi madanm lan santi kò l' gaya.
At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.
30 Latou, Jezi santi te gen yon fòs ki soti nan li; li vire nan mitan foul moun yo, li di konsa: -Ki moun ki manyen rad mwen an, en?
Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 Disip li yo reponn li: -Ou wè jan foul moun yo ap kwense ou, epi w'ap mande: Ki moun ki manyen ou?
"You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’"
32 Men Jezi t'ap pwonmennen je l' toupatou pou wè moun ki te fè l' sa a.
But he kept looking about to see who had done it,
33 Fanm lan menm ki te konnen sak te rive l' t'ap tranble kou yon fèy bwa tank li te pè. Li vin lage kò l' nan pye Jezi. Li di l' tout verite a.
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 Jezi di li: -Mafi, se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou. Ou mèt ale ak kè poze, tande. Ou geri nèt.
"Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."
35 Jezi t'ap pale toujou lè kèk mesaje soti kay chèf sinagòg la vin di li: -Pitit fi ou la mouri. Ou pa bezwen deranje Mèt la plis pase sa.
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 Men Jezi pa t' okipe sa yo t'ap di a. Li di chèf sinagòg la: -Pa pè. Sèlman met konfyans ou nan mwen.
But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe."
37 Li pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan, frè Jak la, avèk li. Li pa t' pèmèt lòt moun swiv li.
He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and Jamesand John, the brother of James.
38 Lè yo rive kay chèf sinagòg la, Jezi wè yon bann moun ki t'ap fè gwo eskandal: genyen ki t'ap kriye; lòt menm t'ap plede rele.
As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.
39 Li antre nan kay la, li di yo konsa: -Men pouki tout bri sa a? Pouki tout rèl sa yo? Ti fi a pa mouri. Se dòmi l'ap dòmi.
"Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.
40 Yo tonbe pase l' nan betiz. Lè sa a, li fè yo tout soti. Li pran papa ak manman pitit la ansanm ak twa disip li yo sèlman. Epi li antre nan chanm kote pitit la te ye a.
"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 Li pran men li, li di li: -Talita koum. -ki vle di: Ti fi, mwen di ou leve.
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 Menm lè a, ti fi a leve, li pran mache, li te gen douzan. Se pa ti sezi moun yo te sezi lè yo wè sa.
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 Men, Jezi pase yo lòd sevè pou yo pa t' kite pesonn konn sa. Apre sa, li di yo: -Bay ti fi a manje.
He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.
