Marka 5
1 Ary tonga teny am-pitan’ ny ranomasina tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Gerasena izy ireo.
They came to the other side of the sea – the region of the Gerasenes;
2 Ary nony niala teo an-tsambokely Izy, niaraka tamin’ izay dia nisy lehilahy azom-panahy maloto nivoaka avy teny amin’ ny fasana ka nifanena taminy,
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 fa nitoetra tao amin’ ny fasana izy; ary tsy nisy olona nahafatotra azy intsony na dia tamin’ ny gadra aza.
and who made his home in the tombs. No one had ever been able to secure him, even with a chain;
4 Fa efa nafatony matetika tanin’ ny gadra, na ny tànany, na ny tongony; nefa ny gadra tamin’ ny tànany notapahiny, ary ny gadra tamin’ ny tongony notorotoroiny, ka tsy nisy olona nahafolaka azy.
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 Ary mandrakariva, na andro na alina, dia nitoetra teny amin’ ny fasana sy teny an-tendrombohitra izy ka ninananana sady niteti-tena tamin’ ny vato.
Night and day alike, he was continually shrieking in the tombs and among the hills, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Fa nony nahita an’ i Jesosy teny lavitra eny izy, dia nihazakazaka ka niankohoka teo anatrehany
Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed to the ground before him,
7 sady niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy Hianao, ry Jesosy, Zanak’ Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra? Ampianianiko amin’ Andriamanitra Hianao, aza mampijaly ahy,
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 satria Jesosy efa nanao taminy hoe: Mivoaha amin’ ity lehilahy ity, ry fanahy maloto.
For Jesus had said, “Come out from the man, you foul spirit.”
9 Dia nanontany azy Jesosy hoe: Iza moa no anaranao? Ary izy namaly hoe: Legiona no anarako, satria maro izahay.
And he asked him, “What is your name?” “My name,” he said, “is Legion, for there are many of us;”
10 Ary nifona mafy taminy izy mba tsy horoahiny hiala amin’ izany tany izany.
and he begged Jesus again and again not to send them away out of that country.
11 Ary nisy kisoa maro andiany izay nandrasana teny akaikin’ ny tendrombohitra.
There was a large herd of pigs close by, feeding on the hillside;
12 Ary nifona taminy ireo ka nanao hoe: Alefaso izahay ho any anatin’ ny kisoa mba hiditra any aminy.
and the spirits begged Jesus, “Send us into the pigs so that we can take possession of them.”
13 Dia neken’ i Jesosy. Ary ny fanahy maloto, rehefa nivoaka, dia niditra tao anatin’ ny kisoa; ary ireo kisoa andiany ireo nitratrevatreva teny amin’ ny hantsana ho any amin’ ny ranomasina (tokony ho roa arivo no isany), ka dia maty tany amin’ ny ranomasina izy.
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 Ary ny mpiandry azy dia nandositra ka nilaza tao an-tanàna sy tany an-tsaha. Dia nandeha ny olona mba hizaha izany zavatra izany;
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 ary tonga tany amin’ i Jesosy izy ka nahita ilay demoniaka, izay nisy ny legiona, fa indro izy nipetraka nitafy lamba sady ary saina; ka raiki-tahotra ny olona.
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 Ary izay efa nahita dia nilazalaza tamin’ ny olona izay natao tamin’ ilay demoniaka sy ny amin’ ny kisoa.
Then those who had seen it related to them all that had happened to the possessed man, as well as about the pigs;
17 Ary nifona tamin’ i Jesosy izy mba hiala amin’ ny taniny.
so they began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18 Ary rehefa hiondrana teo an-tsambokely Jesosy, dia nangataka taminy ilay demoniaka mba hanaraka Azy.
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the possessed man begged him to let him stay with him.
19 Nefa tsy navelan’ i Jesosy izy; fa hoy Izy taminy: Modia ihany any an-tranonao ho any amin’ ny havanao, ka lazao aminy izay zavatra lehibe nataon’ ny Tompo taminao sy ny namindrany fo taminao.
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 Dia nandeha izy ka nitory tany Dekapolisy izay zavatra lehibe efa nataon’ i Jesosy taminy; ka dia gaga ny olona rehetra.
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 Ary rehefa nita an-tsambokely indray Jesosy ka tonga teny am-pita, dia nisy vahoaka betsaka tafangona teo aminy; ary teo amoron-dranomasina Izy.
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 Dia avy ny anankiray tamin’ ny mpanapaka ny synagoga, Jairo no anarany; ary rehefa nahita an’ i Jesosy izy, dia niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony
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 ka niangavy fatratra taminy hoe: Marary efa ho faty ny zanako-vavy kely; andeha re, mametraha ny tananao aminy, mba ho sitrana izy ka ho velona.
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 Dia nandeha niaraka taminy Izy; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy ka nifanety taminy.
So Jesus went with him. A great number of people followed Jesus, and kept pressing around him.
25 Ary nisy vehivavy anankiray izay efa narary roa ambin’ ny folo taona
Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from hemorrhage,
26 sady efa niaritra zavatra be tamin’ ny mpanao fanafody maro ka nandany ny fananany rehetra, nefa tsy nety sitrana, fa vao mainka nihanarary kokoa aza;
and undergone much at the hands of many doctors, (spending all she had without obtaining any relief, but, on the contrary, growing worse),
27 koa rehefa nahare ny amin’ i Jesosy izy, dia nankeo ivohony namaky ny vahoaka ary nanendry ny lambany.
heard about Jesus, came behind in the crowd, and touched his cloak.
28 Fa hoy izy: Na dia ny fitafiany ihany aza no voatendriko, dia ho sitrana aho.
“If I can only touch his clothes,” she said, “I will get well!”
29 Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia ritra ny loharanon’ aretiny, ka tsaroany tao amin’ ny tenany fa sitrana izy.
At once her bleeding stopped, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her affliction.
30 Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia fantatr’ i Jesosy fa nisy hery niala taminy, dia nihodina teo afovoan’ ny vahoaka Izy ka nanao hoe: Iza izany nanendry ny lambako izany?
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 Fa hoy ny mpianany taminy: Hitanao izao vahoaka mifanety aminao izao, ka hoy Hianao va: Iza no nanendry Ahy?
“You see the people pressing around you,” exclaimed his disciples, “and yet you say ‘Who touched me?’”
32 Ary nijery manodidina Izy hizaha ny vehivavy izay efa nanao izany.
But Jesus looked about to see who had done it.
33 Fa raiki-tahotra sady tora-kovitra ravehivavy, satria fantany izay natao taminy, ka dia nankeo aminy izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehany ary nanambara taminy ny marina rehetra.
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 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Anaka, ny finoanao no nahasitrana anao: mandehana soa aman-tsara, ary sitràna amin’ ny aretinao.
“Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you; be free from your affliction.”
35 Raha mbola niteny Jesosy, dia nisy tonga avy tany amin’ ilay mpanapaka ny synagoga ka nanao hoe: Efa maty ny zanakao-vavy; nahoana ianao no mbola manahirana ny Mpampianatra ihany?
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 Fa tsy nahoan’ i Jesosy izany teny nataony izany, fa hoy Izy tamin’ ilay mpanapaka ny synagoga: Aza matahotra, minoa fotsiny ihany.
But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only have faith.”
37 Ary tsy nisy olona navelany hanaraka Azy afa-tsy Petera sy Jakoba ary Jaona, rahalahin’ i Jakoba.
And he allowed no one to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 Ary dia tonga tao an-tranon’ ilay mpanapaka ny synagoga izy ireo, ka hitan’ i Jesosy ny tabataba, dia ny olona izay nitomany sy ninaonaona be ihany.
Presently they reached the leader’s house, where Jesus saw a scene of confusion – people weeping and wailing incessantly.
39 Ary rehefa niditra Izy, dia niteny taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no mitabataba sy mitomany? Tsy maty razazavavy, fa matory.
“Why this confusion and weeping?” he said on entering. “The little child is not dead; she is asleep.”
40 Dia nihomehy Azy fatratra ny olona. Fa nandroaka azy rehetra Izy, dia nitondra ny ray aman-drenin-drazazavavy mbamin’ izay olona teo aminy ka niditra tao amin’ izay nisy an-drazazavavy.
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 Dia nandray ny tànan-drazazavavy Izy ka niteny taminy hoe: Talita komy, izany hoe, raha adika: Ry zazavavy, hoy Izaho aminao: Mitsangàna.
Taking her hand, Jesus said to her, “Talitha, koum!” – which means ‘little girl, I am speaking to you – Rise!’
42 Dia nitsangana niaraka tamin’ izay razazavavy ka afa-nandeha; fa efa roa ambin’ ny folo taona izy. Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia talanjona indrindra ny olona.
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 Ary Jesosy nandrara azy mafy mba tsy ho fantatr’ olona izany; ary nasainy nomena hanina razazavavy.
but Jesus repeatedly cautioned them not to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.
