Marcum 5
1 et venerunt trans fretum maris in regionem Gerasenorum
Jesus and his disciples arrived on the [east] side of Lake [Galilee. They landed near] where the Gerasene [people lived].
2 et exeunti ei de navi statim occurrit ei de monumentis homo in spiritu inmundo
There was a man in that region whom evil spirits controlled.
3 qui domicilium habebat in monumentis et neque catenis iam quisquam eum poterat ligare
[Because that man was violent and people were afraid of him], they had tied him up many times. [As he grew more violent], no one was able to tie him up any longer, not even with chains,
4 quoniam saepe conpedibus et catenis vinctus disrupisset catenas et conpedes comminuisset et nemo poterat eum domare
because the chains would be broken by him {he would break the chains} whenever he was bound {they bound him} with them. The iron shackles would also be smashed by him {He would also smash the iron shackles} whenever they were fastened {they fastened them} [on his feet].
5 et semper nocte ac die in monumentis et in montibus erat clamans et concidens se lapidibus
He lived in one of the caves [where they bury dead people]. During both night and day he would scream among the caves and in the hills. He would also cut himself with [sharp] stones. [That day] he came out of the caves.
6 videns autem Iesum a longe cucurrit et adoravit eum
As Jesus [and his disciples got] out of the boat, that man saw Jesus from a distance. He immediately ran to Jesus, and then he knelt before him.
7 et clamans voce magna dicit quid mihi et tibi Iesu Fili Dei summi adiuro te per Deum ne me torqueas
Jesus said to the evil spirit, “You evil spirit, come out of this man!” [But the demon did not leave quickly]. It shouted very loudly, “Jesus, I [know that you are the] (Son of/man who is also) God, so (we have nothing in common./what do we have in common?) [IDM, RHQ] [So leave me alone] I ask you to promise, knowing God is listening, that you will not torture me [now]!”
8 dicebat enim illi exi spiritus inmunde ab homine
9 et interrogabat eum quod tibi nomen est et dicit ei Legio nomen mihi est quia multi sumus
[So, in order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob because there are many of us [evil spirits in this man].”
10 et deprecabatur eum multum ne se expelleret extra regionem
Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.
11 erat autem ibi circa montem grex porcorum magnus pascens
[At the same time], a large herd of pigs was (grazing/rooting for food) nearby on the hillside.
12 et deprecabantur eum spiritus dicentes mitte nos in porcos ut in eos introeamus
So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”
13 et concessit eis statim Iesus et exeuntes spiritus inmundi introierunt in porcos et magno impetu grex praecipitatus est in mare ad duo milia et suffocati sunt in mare
He permitted them [to do that]. So the evil spirits left the man and entered the pigs. The herd, [which numbered] about 2,000, rushed down the cliff into the lake, and drowned in the lake.
14 qui autem pascebant eos fugerunt et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in agros et egressi sunt videre quid esset facti
The men who had been tending the pigs ran and reported in the town and the countryside [what had happened. Many people] went to see what had happened.
15 et veniunt ad Iesum et vident illum qui a daemonio vexabatur sedentem vestitum et sanae mentis et timuerunt
They came to [the place where] Jesus [was]. Then they saw the man whom evil spirits had [previously] controlled. He was sitting there with clothes on and mentally sound. [As a result], they became afraid [because they thought that Jesus might destroy more of their property]. (OR, [they realized that Jesus must be very powerful].)
16 et narraverunt illis qui viderant qualiter factum esset ei qui daemonium habuerat et de porcis
The people who had seen what had happened described what had happened to the man whom the evil spirits [previously] controlled. They also described [what had happened to] the pigs.
17 et rogare eum coeperunt ut discederet de finibus eorum
Then the people pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
18 cumque ascenderet navem coepit illum deprecari qui daemonio vexatus fuerat ut esset cum illo
As Jesus got in the boat [in order to leave], the man whom the evil spirits [previously] controlled begged Jesus, “[Please let me] go with you!”
19 et non admisit eum sed ait illi vade in domum tuam ad tuos et adnuntia illis quanta tibi Dominus fecerit et misertus sit tui
But Jesus did not let him [go with him]. On the contrary, he said to him, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord [God] has done for you, and tell them how [God] was kind to you.”
20 et abiit et coepit praedicare in Decapoli quanta sibi fecisset Iesus et omnes mirabantur
So the man left [and traveled around] the Ten Towns [district]. He told people how much Jesus had done for him. All the people [who heard what the man said] were amazed.
21 et cum transcendisset Iesus in navi rursus trans fretum convenit turba multa ad illum et erat circa mare
Jesus [and his disciples] went in a boat back around Lake [Galilee] to where they were before. When they arrived at the shore of the lake, a large crowd gathered around Jesus.
22 et venit quidam de archisynagogis nomine Iairus et videns eum procidit ad pedes eius
One of the men who presided over a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place), whose name was Jairus, came there. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself at his feet.
23 et deprecabatur eum multum dicens quoniam filia mea in extremis est veni inpone manus super eam ut salva sit et vivat
Then he pleaded with Jesus earnestly, “My twelve-year old daughter is [sick and] nearly dead! [Please] come [to my house] and place your hands on her in order that she will be healed {to heal her}, so that she will not die!”
24 et abiit cum illo et sequebatur eum turba multa et conprimebant illum
So Jesus [and the disciples] went with him. A large crowd followed [Jesus] and [many] pushed close to him.
25 et mulier quae erat in profluvio sanguinis annis duodecim
There was a woman [in the crowd] who had vaginal bleeding [EUP] [every day] for twelve years.
26 et fuerat multa perpessa a conpluribus medicis et erogaverat omnia sua nec quicquam profecerat sed magis deterius habebat
She had suffered much while many doctors [treated her]. But although she had spent all [her money] to pay the doctors, she had not been helped {they had not helped her}. Instead, she had become worse [EUP].
27 cum audisset de Iesu venit in turba retro et tetigit vestimentum eius
After she heard that Jesus [healed people], she came [to where he was and pushed] in the crowd [close] behind Jesus.
28 dicebat enim quia si vel vestimentum eius tetigero salva ero
She did that because she was thinking, “If I [touch him or] even if I touch his clothes, I will be healed {his power will heal me}.” So she touched Jesus’ clothes.
29 et confestim siccatus est fons sanguinis eius et sensit corpore quod sanata esset a plaga
At once her bleeding stopped. At the same time, she sensed that she had been cured of {that [he] had cured} her illness.
30 et statim Iesus cognoscens in semet ipso virtutem quae exierat de eo conversus ad turbam aiebat quis tetigit vestimenta mea
Jesus [also] immediately sensed that his power had healed someone. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 et dicebant ei discipuli sui vides turbam conprimentem te et dicis quis me tetigit
[One of] his disciples replied, “You can see that many people are crowding close to you! [Probably many people touched you]! So (why do you ask ‘Who touched me?’[/We are surprised] that you ask ‘Who touched me?’ [RHQ])”
32 et circumspiciebat videre eam quae hoc fecerat
But Jesus kept looking around in order to see the one who had done it.
33 mulier autem timens et tremens sciens quod factum esset in se venit et procidit ante eum et dixit ei omnem veritatem
The woman was very afraid and trembling. [She thought that Jesus might be angry because she had violated the law that women who had such a] sickness [should not touch other people. But] she knew [that Jesus had healed her]. So she prostrated herself before him. Then she told him truthfully [about what she had done].
34 ille autem dixit ei filia fides tua te salvam fecit vade in pace et esto sana a plaga tua
He said to her, “(Ma’am/Young lady), because you have believed [that I could heal you], I have healed you. You may go home with peace [in your heart/inner being], [because I promise that] you will not be sick [this way any more].”
35 adhuc eo loquente veniunt ab archisynagogo dicentes quia filia tua mortua est quid ultra vexas magistrum
While Jesus was still speaking [to that woman], some people arrived who had come from Jairus’ house. They said [to Jairus], “Your daughter has [now] died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
36 Iesus autem verbo quod dicebatur audito ait archisynagogo noli timere tantummodo crede
But when Jesus heard what these men said, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that the situation is hopeless! Just keep believing [that she will live]!”
37 et non admisit quemquam sequi se nisi Petrum et Iacobum et Iohannem fratrem Iacobi
Then he allowed only [his three closest disciples], Peter, James, and John, to go with him [to Jairus’ house]. He did not allow any other people to go with him. After they arrived near the house, Jesus saw that the people there were in turmoil. They were weeping and wailing [DOU] loudly.
38 et veniunt in domum archisynagogi et videt tumultum et flentes et heiulantes multum
39 et ingressus ait eis quid turbamini et ploratis puella non est mortua sed dormit
He entered the house and then he said to them, knowing that [he was going to cause her to live again], “(Do not make such a disturbance!/Why are you making such a disturbance?) [RHQ] Stop crying, for the child is not dead! On the contrary, she is [only] sleeping [HYP, EUP]!”
40 et inridebant eum ipse vero eiectis omnibus adsumit patrem et matrem puellae et qui secum erant et ingreditur ubi erat puella iacens
The people laughed at him, [because they knew that she was dead]. But he sent all the other people outside the house. Then he took the child’s father and mother and the [three disciples] who were with him. He went into [the room] where the child was [lying].
41 et tenens manum puellae ait illi talitha cumi quod est interpretatum puella tibi dico surge
He took hold of the child’s hand and said to her [in her own language], “Talitha, Koum!” That means, “Little girl, get up!”
42 et confestim surrexit puella et ambulabat erat autem annorum duodecim et obstipuerunt stupore maximo
At once the girl got up and walked around. ([It was not surprising that she could walk], because she was twelve years old.) [When this happened, all who were present] were very astonished.
43 et praecepit illis vehementer ut nemo id sciret et dixit dari illi manducare
Jesus ordered them strictly, “Do not tell anyone about [what I have done]!” Afterwards he told them that something to eat should be brought to the girl {that they should bring the girl something to eat}.
