< Mak 5 >
1 Mach, Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrmen we yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh Galilind ŋkiŋg handɨh evahetohe, isupɨr aiampɨra Gerasa ikwɨm handɨh ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨmar.
They arrived on the other side of the lake in the region of the Gerasenes.
2 Ahevɨkɨrore utɨŋg han erere ŋgahaŋkwamŋgɨz wɨram itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd hamb itɨ okahahɨnd aiampɨra handɨh ñi erere Jisasɨnd pɨŋ aimar.
When Jesus got out of the boat a man with an evil spirit came from the graveyard to meet him.
3 Wɨram kehamb itɨ okahahɨnd aiampɨra handɨh ñanj. Eŋambɨr han wɨram emŋgemŋga hamb ndɨn ŋe kɨrɨpaŋ vɨhe kɨrɨm nend ramŋganj. Ndɨn kɨrɨpa aŋkarɨpɨrɨŋez vɨhamŋganjaŋg, hanez nendaŋg.
This man lived among the tombs, and it had been impossible to tie him up any longer, even with a chain.
4 Wɨram aiampɨrand hamb kɨrɨpa aŋkarɨpɨrɨŋ mbɨkɨr oman andam vɨhamŋgɨzandaŋg, nend ranj. Mbɨ kɨrɨm orakazɨŋganj. Avɨz wɨram emŋgavaŋg ndɨn aminjinj han, nend ranj.
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 Wɨram kehamb zuhɨnd rapɨrɨnd itɨ okahahɨnd aiampɨra handɨh ñanj. Mach aparɨma handɨhez ñɨñ kwa awarar yupɨr mbɨkɨr han nsɨham han ŋɨmbɨmb mbonaŋg ekazɨŋganj.
Day and night he was always shouting out among the tombs and in the hills nearby, cutting himself with sharp stones.
6 Mach, wɨram mbanamb waz Jisasɨv taŋɨpɨron ñɨzand aŋɨraŋɨr ai Jisasɨnd pɨŋ andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwɨmar.
Seeing Jesus from a distance he ran and kneeled in front of him.
7 Az Jisasɨv itɨ kɨvah han mbahon kamar. Amɨ wɨram mbanan erere etov amar. Avɨz itɨ kɨvah hamb kwa aŋkarɨpɨr aware kamar. Jisas Nan Yakŋ Ohɨra ñaŋ ohɨrand Nor amar. Amɨ yan utɨ sɨŋɨn are ain amar? Yakŋ Ohɨrav yan werɨzand nan kin amar. Amɨ yan kɨvah sɨmɨn amar.
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!”
For Jesus had already told the evil spirit to leave the man.
9 Avɨz Jisasɨv kamar. Amakɨr ensa han uñɨman amar. Az itɨ kɨvah mbanamb kamar. Arɨŋ ohɨron amar. Ave arɨŋɨnd ensa han Wɨram Ohɨron Aŋkwɨnd amar.
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion, because we are many!” he replied.
10 Ave mbɨ mbahon mbahon amarɨmar. Ave amɨ arɨŋ kiaŋgwɨn isupɨr mban erere etomɨrɨŋ amar.
He also repeatedly pleaded with Jesus not to send them a long way away.
11 Mach, mɨra untɨm ohɨra hamb aparɨma ikwɨm handɨh ñɨhɨri nanan ndahɨrɨmŋgɨmar.
A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby.
12 Az itɨ kɨvah kɨvah hamb mɨra untɨm ohɨra han we Jisasɨh mbahon mbahon mbanave kamŋgɨmar. Arɨŋ kan we mɨra untɨm ohɨra keŋ ŋgwevetom arɨmŋgɨmar.
The evil spirits pleaded with him, “Send us to the pigs so we can enter them.”
13 Az Jisasɨv kamar. Aria amar. Amɨ we ŋgwevetovar amar. Mach, mbɨ hanave kaz itɨ kɨvah kɨvah mbanamb wɨram mban erere we mɨra untɨm ohɨra mbanaŋ pamuh pamuh rar ŋgwevetomŋgɨmar. Ŋgwevetomŋgɨz mɨra untɨm ohɨra mbanamb ŋondɨrahe aŋkarɨpɨron aŋɨraŋɨr we yamb isantu handɨh pɨraŋgore yamb unchaŋ kŋirorɨŋgwɨmŋgɨmar. Kŋirorɨngwi yamb ne mamŋgɨmar. Mach, mɨra untɨm ohɨra han mbanave 2000.
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 Mach, mɨra mbanamb hanavɨmŋgɨz wɨram kɨra mɨra wehɨrehɨrɨnd hamb kɨrɨm kɨrorɨmŋgɨmar. Kɨrore we osa anchɨ aiampɨrand han, mach osa anchɨ aiampɨra injambɨr ñɨmŋganj hanez enta Jisasɨv sɨmar handɨv ya kamŋgɨmar. Kamŋgɨz osa anchɨ hamb han njɨhame mbɨ han waŋɨn are aimŋgɨmar.
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 Osa anchɨ hamb ai Jisasɨnd pɨŋ ahevɨkɨrore wamŋgɨz wɨram Jisasɨv itɨ kɨvah kɨvah kiaŋgworaŋgwɨmar hamb ndɨnmen ñɨmar. Njɨhi mbɨkɨr hamb uyakaz mbɨ imɨn epe ŋkañɨmar. Mach, osa anchɨ hamb han we ezandɨkŋɨmŋgɨmar.
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 Az wɨram mɨra wehɨrehɨrɨnd hamb Jisasɨv wɨram itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd han mach mɨra akŋ han enta hanave sɨz wamŋgɨmar handɨv osa anchɨ han yaya han sɨkamŋgɨmar.
Then those who had seen what had happened to the man who had been demon-possessed and the pigs told the others.
17 Mbɨ ya han kamŋgɨz osa anchɨ hamb njɨhame ŋondɨrahe Jisasɨh mbahon mbahon amarɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ isupɨr arɨŋɨnd mban erere ui emŋgaŋ imbɨr etomɨn oh arɨmŋgɨmar.
They began pleading with Jesus to leave their district.
18 Az Jisasɨv han njɨhame ŋaiahe etoŋɨn are utɨŋg unchaŋ ŋkwuzand wɨram Jisasɨv itɨ kɨvah kiaŋgworaŋgwɨmar mbanamb ai Jisasɨh amarar kamar. Nzɨ nan imbɨr mpehɨromɨñ oh a amar.
As Jesus climbed into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.
19 Az ndɨn kamar. Nend amar. Amɨ amakɨr oramɨŋ we amakɨr zɨŋgɨr han kav amar. Anɨŋnsar Ohɨrav yan akŋɨn ñi yan omanenta sɨndɨsi arar kav amar.
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 Az mach, wɨram mbanamb ŋaiahe isupɨr Dekapolis handɨh we Jisasɨv ndɨn omanenta sɨmar handɨv kah ndamar. Avɨz osa anchɨ hamb njɨhame njɨhi osapɨr njɨhakɨramŋgɨmar.
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 Mach, Jisasɨv utɨŋg mban ŋe ekwaŋg yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ŋkiŋg evahaimar. Evahai ahevakare yamb ampaŋ ñɨzand wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ai aŋkwezawi ndɨn ondɨhore ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar.
Jesus went back again by boat to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him at the shore.
22 Ndɨn ondɨhore ñɨmŋgɨzand wɨram emŋga hamb aimar, mbɨkɨr ensa Jairus. Ndɨn wɨram anɨŋnsar Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨnd. Mbɨ ai Jisas we ndɨn pɨŋ andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwɨmar.
A synagogue leader, a man named Jairus, came to him. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet
23 Mbɨ mbahon mbahon Jisas mbanavav amarɨmar. Nanch ihɨnd hamb mahoror ohɨransɨnd ñɨñmbɨri amar. Ave mbɨ ndɨhon mandari toh amar. Amɨ ai amakɨr omanaka ndɨn insɨŋ ŋgamɨn mahoror mbɨkɨr hamb kwevɨrɨz mbɨ imbɨrun ñɨndari amar.
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 Az Jisasɨv ŋaiahe ndɨnmen omar. Oz ozand wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ndɨn mpehɨrohe ikwɨm ikwɨm ondɨhore ñɨhɨrɨhɨr ndahɨrɨmŋgɨmar.
So Jesus went with him. Everybody followed, crowding and jostling him.
25 Mach, anchɨ emŋga hamb handɨh ñɨmar. Mbɨ ukɨnd osapɨr war oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmaj ñɨmar.
A woman was there who had been ill from bleeding for twelve years.
26 Mbɨ ukɨnd osapɨr ñɨñ imbɨr randarin arar uvita kɨrand pɨŋ ndandand nsɨham nor mɨŋam ŋkaranj. Avɨz uvita kɨra hamb ndɨn omanenta sɨmŋgɨzandaŋg, nend ranj. Uvita hamb anchɨ mban yupɨr pɨrɨvɨr mamah eŋgwamŋganj. Mahoror mbɨkɨr hamb kɨrɨm ohɨrar omar.
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 Mach, osa anchɨ emŋgemŋgav Jisasɨndɨv ya kamŋgɨzand anchɨ mbanamb njɨhame njɨhi kɨrɨm ŋamar. Ŋe mbonaŋg ke mbonaŋg njɨhamɨmar. Nzɨ we Jisasɨnd yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr han mparɨwaŋ mahoror ihɨnd hamb imbɨr randari amar. Hanave njɨhame mbɨ osa anchɨmen we Jisasɨh mpehɨrohe yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr mbɨkɨr han mparɨwamar.
She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd, and touched his cloak.
She was telling herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”
29 Mparɨwaz mbɨkɨr ntɨ hamb kɨrɨm okarawɨmar. Okarawɨz mach yupɨr mbɨkɨr hamb imbɨr ñɨz anchɨ mbanamb han wamar.
The bleeding stopped immediately, and she felt her body healed from her disease.
30 Mach, yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr han mparɨwazand Jisasɨnd aŋkarɨpɨr hamb anchɨ mbanaŋ ŋgwevoz Jisasɨv han we enarɨŋge osa anchɨ han amarɨmar. Uñɨmb ihɨnd yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr han mparɨwi amar.
Jesus, sensing at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my cloak?”
31 Az sezɨr mbɨkɨr hamb kamŋgɨmar. Osa anchɨ hamb nan ondɨhore kwaravɨzu kwaravɨzaimŋgi han wan oh arɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv kan, uñɨmb yan mparɨwi, arar kan arɨmŋgɨmar.
“Look at the crowd jostling you. What do you mean, ‘Who touched me?’” the disciples replied.
32 Kɨrɨm Jisasɨv uñɨmb mbɨkɨr yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr han mparɨwamar han waŋɨn arar handɨv mbah werɨmar.
But Jesus went on looking around to see who had done it.
33 Werer ñɨzand anchɨ mbanamb ihɨnd mahoror hamb ndɨh mach ri arar ke ezandɨkŋɨmar. Az mbɨkɨr oman andam hamb ntahorɨzand mbɨ Jisasɨnd pɨŋ ai andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwɨmar. Mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwi ñi ndɨn kamar. Nzɨ imbɨr ñɨŋɨn are nan mparɨwin amar.
The woman, realizing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 Az Jisasɨv ndɨn kamar. Nanch amar. Amakɨr njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr hamb raz amakɨr ukɨnd osapɨr hamb ndɨh mach ri amar. We omanenta ñɨmb amar.
“My daughter, your trust in me has healed you. Go in peace. You have been completely cured of your disease,” Jesus told her.
35 Mach, Jisasɨv hanave kazand wɨram kɨra emŋgemŋga oram Jairusɨnd hamb aimŋgɨmar. Mbɨ ai Jairusɨh wɨram anɨŋnsar Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ ntɨŋ ñanj han kamŋgɨmar. Amakɨr nanch hamb ndɨh mi arɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv Anɨŋzɨŋ entand han kɨr mbahon eŋgwan arɨmŋgɨmar.
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 Avɨz Jisasɨv mbɨndɨŋ ya han njɨhameaŋg wɨram anɨŋnsar Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨnd han kɨrɨm kamar. Amɨ ezandɨkŋɨmɨn amar. Yakŋ Ohɨrand aŋkarɨpɨr handɨv njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhamb amar.
But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, “Don't be afraid, just trust in me.”
37 Mach, hanave ke mbɨ Pita, Jems, mach Jemsɨnd ranɨr Jon hanave mpahɨroŋɨn are wɨram emŋgemŋga han erokare kamar. Amɨ mbanaŋ ñɨmbar amar.
He wouldn't let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and James' brother John.
38 Mach, mbɨ we Jairusɨnd oramɨŋ ahevɨkɨrore wamŋgɨz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb handɨh ñi itɨ ŋgwañ ohɨra ekeh irɨwazaz ihɨrɨv ohɨra sɨmŋgɨmar.
When they arrived at the synagogue leader's house, Jesus saw all the commotion, with people crying and wailing.
39 Hanavav ñɨmŋgɨzand Jisasɨv oram unchaŋ ahevohe ndɨŋɨh kamar. Amɨ utɨndɨv itɨ ŋgwañ ekeh ihɨrɨv ohɨra sɨmŋgɨmbɨran amar. Nanch mbanamb mɨmam amar. Mbɨ ikwɨ ŋgañɨñɨmbɨri amar.
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 Az mbɨ han njɨhame ndɨn ŋɨñ kah aŋkwamŋgɨmar. Avɨz Jisasɨv osa anchɨ han kiaŋgworaŋgwɨz mbɨ oram han erere ahevohe injambɨrɨŋ ñɨmŋgɨmar. Ahevohe ñɨmŋgɨzand Jisasɨv nanch hand mɨŋɨr wanɨr han mach sezɨr undɨmapam hanez ŋɨmbimar. Ŋɨmbi sam nanch hamb mamta me ŋgañɨmar handɨh mpahɨrahevomar.
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 Ave Jisasɨv omanaka mbɨkɨr han ŋgɨŋe ndɨn kamar. Talita kum amar. (Jisasɨnd ya mbanand ondo han: Nanch, nzɨ nan kin, amɨ ŋaiahav en.)
Taking the little girl's hand he said, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!”
42 Mach, Jisasɨv hanave kaz nanch mbanamb kɨrɨm ŋaiahe ndamar. Ndazand mbɨ han wamŋgɨz mbɨkɨr mɨŋɨr wanɨrɨnd zɨŋɨmb pɨrorɨŋgaz njɨhi osapɨr njɨhakɨramamŋgɨmar. Nanch mbanand war han oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmaj.
The little girl, who was twelve years old, got up immediately and began walking around. They were completely astonished at what had happened.
43 Mach avɨz, Jisasɨv mɨŋɨr wanɨrɨh ya aŋkarɨpɨr ke erokare kamar. Amɨ osa anchɨ emŋgemŋga han enta mban wamŋgɨn handɨv kamŋgɨmɨn amar. Amɨ nanch mban unsa kɨrɨm eŋkwanambar amar.
He gave them strict instructions not to let anyone know, and he told them to give the little girl something to eat.
