Maka 5
1 A ka whiti ratou ki tawahi o te moana, ki te whenua o nga kararini.
They arrived on the other side of the lake in the region of the Gerasenes.
2 Na, mahuta kau i te kaipuke, ka tutaki ki a ia tetahi tangata i puta mai i nga urupa, he wairua poke tona,
When Jesus got out of the boat a man with an evil spirit came from the graveyard to meet him.
3 Kei nga urupa nei tona nohoanga; a, ahakoa he mekameka, hore rawa ia i taea e tetahi tangata te here.
This man lived among the tombs, and it had been impossible to tie him up any more, even with a chain.
4 He maha hoki ona herenga ki nga here waewae, ki nga mekameka, heoi motumotuhia ana e ia nga mekameka, mongomonga noa ano nga here waewae: kihai tetahi tangata i kaha ki te whakamarie i a ia.
He had often been tied up with chains and shackles, but he simply tore the chains apart and broke the shackles into pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
5 I nga urupa tonu ia, i nga maunga i te po, i te ao, e hamama ana, e haehae ana i a ia ki te kohatu.
Day and night he was always shouting out among the tombs and in the hills nearby, cutting himself with sharp stones.
6 A, i tona kitenga i a Ihu i tawhiti, oma ana ia, koropiko ana ki a ia.
Seeing Jesus from a distance he ran and kneeled in front of him.
7 He nui tona reo ki te karanga, ka mea, Ko te aha taku ki a koe, e Ihu, e te Tama a te Atua, a te Runga Rawa? ko te Atua taku whakaoati mou, na kaua ahau e whakamamaetia.
In a loud voice he cried out, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of Almighty God? Swear by God that you won't torture me!”
8 He meatanga hoki nana ki a ia, Puta mai i tenei tangata, e te wairua poke.
For Jesus had already told the evil spirit to leave the man.
9 Na ka ui ia ki a ia, Ko wai tou ingoa? Ka whakahokia e tera, ka mea, Ko Rihiona toku ingoa: he tokomaha hoki matou.
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion, because we are many!” he replied.
10 A he nui tana inoi ki a ia kia kaua ratou e tonoa atu i taua whenua.
He also repeatedly pleaded with Jesus not to send them a long way away.
11 Na kei reira, kei nga maunga, tetahi kahui poaka e kai ana, tona tini.
A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby.
12 Na ka inoi nga rewera katoa ki a ia, ka mea, Tonoa matou ki nga poaka, kia tomo matou ki a ratou.
The evil spirits pleaded with him, “Send us into the pigs so we can enter them.”
13 Na tukua ana ratou e Ihu, Heoi, ko te putanga o nga wairua poke, ka tomo ki nga poaka: ko te tino rerenga o te kahui ra te pari ki te moana, ko te maha kei te rua mano, a paremo iho ki te moana.
Jesus allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and went into the pigs. The whole herd, about two thousand, rushed down the steep cliff into the sea and drowned.
14 Na whati ana nga kaiwhangai o nga poaka, a korerotia ana ki te pa, ki aua whenua. Na ka puta ratou a kia kite i taua mea kua meatia nei.
The pig-keepers ran away, and spread the news all over town and in the countryside. People came out to see what had happened.
15 A, no to ratou taenga mai ki a Ihu, ka kite i te tangata i nohoia nei e nga rewera, tera i te rihiona, e noho ana, kua oti te whakakakahu, kua tika nga mahara, ka mataku ratou.
When they found Jesus they saw the man who had been demon-possessed sitting there, dressed, and in his right mind—the one who had the legion of evil spirits—and they became frightened!
16 A ka korerotia ki a ratou, e te hunga i kite, te meatanga ki te tangata i nga rewera, ki nga poaka hoki.
Then those who had seen what had happened to the man who had been demon-possessed and the pigs told the others.
17 Na ka anga ratou ka tohe ki a ia kia haere atu i o ratou wahi.
They began pleading with Jesus to leave their district.
18 A, no ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka inoi ki a ia te tangata i nga rewera, kia waiho ia hei hoa mona.
As Jesus climbed into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.
19 Otira kihai a Ihu i tuku i a ia, engari i mea atu ki a ia, haere ki tou whare, ki ou whanaunga, ka korero ki a ratou i nga mea nui i meinga e te Ariki ki a koe, i tana atawhaitanga hoki i a koe.
But Jesus refused, telling him, “Go home to your own people, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has been merciful to you.”
20 Na ka haere ia, ka anga ka korero ki Rekaporihi, i nga mea nunui i mea ai a Ihu ki a ia: a miharo ana nga tangata katoa.
So the man went on his way and began to tell the people of the Ten Cities everything Jesus had done for him, and everyone was amazed.
21 A, no te whitinga atu ano o Ihu ki tawahi i runga i te kaipuke, he nui te tangata i huihui ki a ia: i te taha ano ia o te moana.
Jesus went back again by boat to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him at the shore.
22 Na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi o nga rangatira o te whare karakia, ko Hairuha tona ingoa; ka kite i a ia, ka takoto ki ona waewae,
A synagogue leader, a man named Jairus, came to him. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet
23 He nui tana inoi ki a ia, ka mea, Ko taku tamahine nohinohi kei te whakahemohemo: kia haere ake koe ki te whakapa i ou ringa ki a ia kia ora ai; a ka ora.
and pleaded with him, saying, “My little daughter is about to die. Please come and place your hands on her so she may be healed and live.”
24 Na haere tahi ana raua; he tini hoki te tangata i aru i a ia, popo tonu ki a ia.
So Jesus went with him. Everybody followed, crowding and jostling him.
25 Na ko tetahi wahine e mate ana i te pakaruhanga toto, ka tekau ma rua nga tau,
A woman was there who had been ill from bleeding for twelve years.
26 He maha nga meatanga a nga rata tokomaha ki a ia, hemo noa ana rawa katoa, te matutu ake tetahi wahi, heoi kake haere ana te mate;
She'd suffered considerably under the care of many doctors, and had spent all she had. But nothing helped her—in fact she'd grown worse.
27 A, no tona rongonga ki a Ihu, ka haere i muri i roto i te mano, a pa ana ki tona kakahu.
She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd, and touched his cloak.
28 I mea hoki, Ahakoa pa kau ahau ki ona kakahu, ka ora ahau.
She was telling herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”
29 A mimiti tonu ake te puna o ona toto; no ka mahara a roto o tona tinana kua ora ia i te mate.
The bleeding stopped immediately, and she felt her body healed from her disease.
30 Na mohio tonu a Ihu kua puta he mana i roto i a ia, ka tahurihuri i roto i te mano, ka mea, Ko wai tenei kua pa nei ki oku kakahu?
Jesus, sensing at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my cloak?”
31 Ka mea ana akonga ki a ia, E kite ana koe i te mano e popo nei ki a koe, a e mea ana koe, Ko wai tenei kua pa mai ki ahau?
“Look at the crowd jostling you. What do you mean, ‘Who touched me?’” the disciples replied.
32 Heoi tirotiro ana ia kia kite i te wahine i mea nei i tenei mea.
But Jesus went on looking around to see who had done it.
33 Na ka haere mai te wahine me te wehi, me te wiri, i mahara hoki ki te mea i meatia ki a ia, a takoto ana ki tona aroaro, korerotia katoatia ana e ia te tikanga ki a ia.
The woman, realizing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ia, E ko, na tou whakapono koe i ora ai; haere marie, kia ora koe i tou mate.
“My daughter, your trust in me has healed you. Go in peace. You have been completely cured of your disease,” Jesus told her.
35 I a ia ano e korero ana, ka haere mai etahi o nga tangata a te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea, Kua mate tau tamahine: hei aha ake mau te whakararuraru i te Kaiwhakaako?
While he was still speaking some people came from the home of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
36 Otira kahore a Ihu i aro ki te kupu i korerotia, ka mea atu ki te rangatira o te whare karakia, Kaua e wehi, ko te whakapono ia kia whakapono.
But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, “Don't be afraid, just trust in me.”
37 A kihai tetahi tangata i tukua kia haere tahi me ia, ko Pita anake, ko hemi, ko Hoani teina o Hemi.
He wouldn't let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and James' brother John.
38 A, no te taenga atu ki te whare o te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka kite ia i te ngangau, i te nui hoki o te tangi, o te aue a etahi.
When they arrived at the synagogue leader's house, Jesus saw all the commotion, with people crying and wailing.
39 A, i tona tomokanga ki roto, ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka ngangau ai, ka tangi ai? kahore te kotiro i mate, engari e moe ana.
He went in and asked them, “Why are you making such a commotion with all this crying? The little girl isn't dead, she's just sleeping.”
40 Na kataina iho ia e ratou. Heoi, ka oti katoa te pei ki waho, ka mau ia ki te papa, ki te whaea o te kotiro, ratou ko ona hoa, ka tomo ki te wahi i takoto ai te kotiro.
They laughed scornfully at him. Jesus made everyone leave. Then he went into the room where the little girl was lying, taking with him the child's father and mother, and the three disciples.
41 Na ka mau ia ki te ringa o te kotiro, ka mea ki a ia, Tarita kumi; ko tona whakamaoritanga tenei, E ko, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, e ara.
Taking the little girl's hand he said, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!”
42 Na whakatika tonu ake te kotiro, a haere ana; kotahi tekau ma rua hoki ona tau. Na ko te tino miharotanga i miharo ai ratou.
The little girl, who was twelve years old, got up immediately and began walking around. They were completely astonished at what had happened.
43 A he nui tana whakatupato i a ratou, kia kaua tenei e mohiotia e tetahi tangata; ka ki kia hoatu he kai mana.
He gave them strict instructions not to let anyone know, and he told them to give the little girl something to eat.
