Marco 5
1 E giunsero all’altra riva del mare nel paese de’ Geraseni.
Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.
2 E come Gesù fu smontato dalla barca, subito gli venne incontro dai sepolcri un uomo posseduto da uno spirito immondo,
As Jesus got out of the boat, he was immediately met by a man from the tombs who had an unclean spirit.
3 il quale nei sepolcri avea la sua dimora; e neppure con una catena poteva più alcuno tenerlo legato;
This man lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains.
4 poiché spesso era stato legato con ceppi e catene; e le catene erano state da lui rotte, ed i ceppi spezzati, e niuno avea forza da domarlo.
For he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he tore the chains apart and broke the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5 E di continuo, notte e giorno, fra i sepolcri e su per i monti, andava urlando e percotendosi con delle pietre.
Night and day, on the mountains and among the tombs, he would continually cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 Or quand’ebbe veduto Gesù da lontano, corse e gli si prostrò dinanzi;
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.
7 e dato un gran grido, disse: Che v’è fra me e te, o Gesù, Figliuolo dell’Iddio altissimo? Io ti scongiuro, in nome di Dio, di non tormentarmi;
Then he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure yoʋ by God, do not torment me.”
8 perché Gesù gli diceva: Spirito immondo, esci da quest’uomo!
For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of the man, yoʋ unclean spirit!”
9 E Gesù gli domandò: Qual è il tuo nome? Ed egli rispose: Il mio nome è Legione perché siamo molti.
Then Jesus asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He answered, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10 E lo pregava con insistenza che non li mandasse via dal paese.
And he earnestly begged Jesus not to send them out of that region.
11 Or quivi pel monte stava a pascolare un gran branco di porci.
Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there near the mountain.
12 E gli spiriti lo pregarono dicendo: Mandaci ne’ porci, perché entriamo in essi.
All the demons begged Jesus, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.”
13 Ed egli lo permise loro. E gli spiriti immondi, usciti, entrarono ne’ porci, ed il branco si avventò giù a precipizio nel mare.
So he immediately gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.
14 Eran circa duemila ed affogarono nel mare. E quelli che li pasturavano fuggirono e portaron la notizia in città e per la campagna; e la gente andò a vedere ciò che era avvenuto.
Those who had been feeding the pigs then ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside. So the people went out to see what had happened.
15 E vennero a Gesù, e videro l’indemoniato seduto, vestito ed in buon senno, lui che aveva avuto la legione; e s’impaurirono.
They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind—the man who had been possessed by the “Legion”—and they were afraid.
16 E quelli che aveano visto, raccontarono loro ciò che era avvenuto all’indemoniato e il fatto de’ porci.
Those who had seen it told them what had happened to the man who had been possessed by demons, and they also told them about the pigs.
17 Ed essi presero a pregar Gesù che se ne andasse dai loro confini,
Then the people began begging Jesus to depart from their region.
18 E come egli montava nella barca, l’uomo che era stato indemoniato lo pregava di poter stare con lui.
When Jesus got into the boat, the man who had been possessed by demons begged to go with him.
19 E Gesù non glielo permise, ma gli disse: Va’ a casa tua dai tuoi, e racconta loro le grandi cose che il Signore ti ha fatto, e come egli ha avuto pietà di te.
But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, “Go to yoʋr house and to yoʋr people, and report to them all that the Lord has done for yoʋ and how he has had mercy on yoʋ.”
20 E quello se ne andò e cominciò a pubblicare per la Decapoli le grandi cose che Gesù aveva fatto per lui. E tutti si maravigliarono.
So the man went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him, and all the people were amazed.
21 Ed essendo Gesù passato di nuovo in barca all’altra riva, una gran moltitudine si radunò attorno a lui; ed egli stava presso il mare.
When Jesus had again crossed over in the boat to the other side of the sea, a large crowd was gathered around him, and he was by the sea.
22 Ed ecco venire uno dei capi della sinagoga, chiamato Iairo, il quale, vedutolo, gli si getta ai piedi
And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, whose name was Jairus. When he saw Jesus, he fell down at his feet
23 e lo prega istantemente, dicendo: La mia figliuola è agli estremi. Vieni a metter sopra lei le mani, affinché sia salva e viva.
and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay yoʋr hands on her so that she may be healed. Then she will live.”
24 E Gesù andò con lui, e gran moltitudine lo seguiva e l’affollava.
So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him.
25 Or una donna che avea un flusso di sangue da dodici anni,
Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years.
26 e molto avea sofferto da molti medici, ed avea speso tutto il suo senz’alcun giovamento, anzi era piuttosto peggiorata,
She had suffered a great deal under many physicians and had spent all she had, yet received no benefit from it, but had only grown worse.
27 avendo udito parlar di Gesù, venne per di dietro fra la calca e gli toccò la vesta, perché diceva:
When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.
28 Se riesco a toccare non foss’altro che le sue vesti, sarò salva.
For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be healed.”
29 E in quell’istante il suo flusso ristagnò; ed ella sentì nel corpo d’esser guarita di quel flagello.
Immediately her flow of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she had been healed from her affliction.
30 E subito Gesù, conscio della virtù ch’era emanata da lui, voltosi indietro in quella calca, disse: Chi mi ha toccato le vesti?
Jesus immediately perceived in himself that power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?”
31 E i suoi discepoli gli dicevano: Tu vedi come la folla ti si serra addosso e dici: Chi mi ha toccato?
His disciples said to him, “Yoʋ see the crowd pressing in on yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 Ed egli guardava attorno per vedere colei che avea ciò fatto.
But he kept looking around to see who had done it.
33 Ma la donna, paurosa e tremante, ben sapendo quel che era avvenuto in lei, venne e gli si gettò ai piedi, e gli disse tutta la verità.
Now the woman was frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, so she came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
34 Ma Gesù le disse: Figliuola, la tua fede t’ha salvata; vattene in pace e sii guarita del tuo flagello.
Then Jesus said to her, “Daughter, yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in peace, and be healed of yoʋr affliction.”
35 Mentr’egli parlava ancora, ecco arrivar gente da casa del capo della sinagoga, che gli dice: La tua figliuola è morta; perché incomodare più oltre il Maestro?
While he was still speaking, some people came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said, “Yoʋr daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any further?”
36 Ma Gesù, inteso quel che si diceva, disse al capo della sinagoga: Non temere; solo abbi fede!
But when Jesus heard what they said, he immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
37 E non permise ad alcuno di accompagnarlo, salvo che a Pietro, a Giacomo e a Giovanni, fratello di Giacomo.
From that point he did not allow anyone to accompany him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 E giungono a casa del capo della sinagoga; ed egli vede del tumulto e gente che piange ed urla forte.
When he came to the ruler of the synagogue's house, he saw a commotion, with people weeping and wailing loudly.
39 Ed entrato, dice loro: Perché fate tanto strepito e piangete? La fanciulla non è morta, ma dorme.
Then he went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.”
40 E si ridevano di lui. Ma egli, messili tutti fuori, prende seco il padre la madre della fanciulla e quelli che eran con lui, ed entra là dove era la fanciulla.
And they began laughing at him. But he put them all outside, took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was lying down.
41 E presala per la mano le dice: Talithà cumì! che interpretato vuole dire: Giovinetta, io tel dico, lèvati!
Then he took hold of the child's hand and said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to yoʋ, arise.”
42 E tosto la giovinetta s’alzò e camminava, perché avea dodici anni. E furono subito presi da grande stupore;
Immediately the girl got up and began to walk (for she was twelve years old), and they were overcome with great amazement.
43 ed egli comandò loro molto strettamente che non lo risapesse alcuno: e disse loro che le fosse dato da mangiare.
Then he gave them strict orders not to let anyone know about it, and he told them to give her something to eat.
