1 Vakayambuka mhiri kwegungwa kunyika yavaGerase.
They came to the other side of the sea – the region of the Gerasenes;
2 Jesu akati abuda mugwa, mumwe murume akanga ano mweya wakaipa akauya achibva kumakuva kuti azosangana naye.
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 Murume uyu aigara kumakuva, uye kwakanga kusisina munhu aigona kumusungazve, kunyange kana nengetani.
and who made his home in the tombs. No one had ever been able to secure him, even with a chain;
4 Nokuti kazhinji aisungwa maoko namakumbo, asi aidambura ngetani napakati uye achivhuna simbi dzaiva pamakumbo ake. Hakuna munhu aiva nesimba rokumukunda.
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 Usiku namasikati aingochema uye achizvicheka-cheka namabwe ari pakati pamakuva uye nomuzvikomo.
Night and day alike, he was continually shrieking in the tombs and among the hills, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Akati aona Jesu achiri chinhambwe, akamhanya akandowira namabvi ake mberi kwake.
Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed to the ground before him,
7 Akadanidzira nenzwi riri pamusoro achiti, “Munodeiko kwandiri, Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari Wokumusoro-soro? Pikai kuna Mwari kuti hamuzonditambudzi!”
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 Nokuti Jesu akanga ati kwaari, “Buda mumunhu uyu, iwe mweya wakaipa!”
For Jesus had said, “Come out from the man, you foul spirit.”
9 Ipapo Jesu akamubvunza akati, “Zita rako ndiwe ani?” Akapindura akati, “Zita rangu ndiRegioni, nokuti tiri vazhinji.”
And he asked him, “What is your name?” “My name,” he said, “is Legion, for there are many of us;”
10 Uye akakumbira akumbirazve kuna Jesu kuti arege kuidzinga kubva munyika iyo.
and he begged Jesus again and again not to send them away out of that country.
11 Boka guru renguruve raifura riri pazvikomo zvaiva pedyo nenzvimbo iyi.
There was a large herd of pigs close by, feeding on the hillside;
12 Madhimoni akakumbirisa kuna Jesu akati, “Titumei henyu pakati penguruve, titenderei henyu kuti tinopinda madziri.”
and the spirits begged Jesus, “Send us into the pigs so that we can take possession of them.”
13 Akaatendera, uye mweya yakaipa yakabuda ikaenda ikandopinda munguruve. Boka rinenge zviuru zviviri pakuwanda, rakamhanya richiburukira kumawere rikapinda mugungwa uye rikanyuramo.
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 Vaya vakanga vachifudza nguruve vakatiza vakandozivisa izvi muguta nomumaruwa, uye vanhu vakabuda kuti vandoona zvakanga zvaitika.
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 Vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakaona murume uya akanga akabatwa neRegioni ramadhimoni, agere ipapo, akapfeka uye ava munhu kwaye; uye vakatya.
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 Vaya vakanga vazviona vakavaudza zvakanga zvaitika kumunhu akanga ambobatwa namadhimoni, uye vakataura nezvenguruvewo.
Then those who had seen it related to them all that had happened to the possessed man, as well as about the pigs;
17 Ipapo vanhu vakatanga kukumbira Jesu kuti abve munyika yavo.
so they began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18 Jesu paakanga opinda mugwa, munhu akanga akabatwa namadhimoni akakumbira zvikuru kuti aende naye.
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the possessed man begged him to let him stay with him.
19 Jesu haana kumutendera, asi akati kwaari, “Chienda kumba kumhuri yako undovaudza zvawaitirwa naShe, uye kuti akunzwira ngoni sei.”
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 Saka murume uyu akabva akaenda uye akatanga kutaura muDhekapori zvinhu zvikuru zvaakanga aitirwa naJesu. Uye vanhu vose vakashamiswa.
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 Jesu akati ayambukazve mhiri negwa kuno rumwe rutivi rwegungwa, vazhinji zhinji vakaungana vakamukomberedza paakanga ari pagungwa.
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 Ipapo mumwe wavabati vomusinagoge, ainzi Jairosi, akasvikapo. Paakaona Jesu akawira patsoka dzake
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 uye akamukumbirisa zvikuru achiti, “Mwanasikana wangu mudiki ava kufa. Ndapota uyai muise maoko enyu pamusoro pake kuti agoporeswa uye ararame.”
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 Saka Jesu akaenda naye. Vazhinji zhinji vakatevera vachimanikidzirana.
So Jesus went with him. A great number of people followed Jesus, and kept pressing around him.
25 Uye pakanga pano mukadzi aiva nechirwere chokubuda ropa kwamakore gumi namaviri.
Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from hemorrhage,
26 Akanga atambudzika zvikuru uye achirapwa navanachiremba vazhinji uye akanga apedza zvose zvaaiva nazvo, asi pachinzvimbo chokuva nani akatonyanyisa kurwara.
and undergone much at the hands of many doctors, (spending all she had without obtaining any relief, but, on the contrary, growing worse),
27 Akati anzwa nezvaJesu, akauya mushure make mukati mavazhinji uye akabata nguo yake,
heard about Jesus, came behind in the crowd, and touched his cloak.
28 nokuti akati mumwoyo make, “Kana ndikangobata nguo dzake, ndichaporeswa.”
“If I can only touch his clothes,” she said, “I will get well!”
29 Pakarepo tsime reropa rake rakapwa uye akanzwa mumuviri wake kuti akanga asunungurwa kubva pakutambudzika kwake.
At once her bleeding stopped, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her affliction.
30 Pakarepo Jesu akanzwa kuti simba rakanga rabuda maari. Akatendeukira kuruzhinji rwavanhu akabvunza achiti, “Ndianiko abata nguo dzangu?”
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 Vadzidzi vake vakati, “Muri kuona vanhu vachikutsimbirirai, zvino moti, ‘Ndianiko andibata?’”
“You see the people pressing around you,” exclaimed his disciples, “and yet you say ‘Who touched me?’”
32 Asi Jesu akaramba achitarisa-tarisa kuti aone kuti ndiani akanga aita izvozvo.
But Jesus looked about to see who had done it.
33 Ipapo mukadzi, achiziva zvakanga zvaitika kwaari, akauya akawira patsoka dzake, uye achidedera nokutya, akamuudza chokwadi chose.
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 Iye akati kwaari, “Mwanasikana, kutenda kwako kwakuporesa. Enda norugare uye usunungurwe pakutambudzika kwako.”
“Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you; be free from your affliction.”
35 Jesu achiri kutaura, vamwe varume vakauya vachibva kumba kwaJairosi, mukuru wesinagoge. Vakati, “Mwanasikana wenyu afa. Muchanetsereiko mudzidzisi?”
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 Asina hanya nezvavakanga vataura, Jesu akati kumukuru wesinagoge, “Usatya; tenda bedzi.”
But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only have faith.”
37 Haana kutendera mumwe munhu kuti amutevere kunze kwaPetro, Jakobho naJohani mununʼuna waJakobho.
And he allowed no one to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 Vakati vasvika pamba pomukuru wesinagoge, Jesu akanzwa mheremhere, vanhu vachichema nokuungudza zvikuru.
Presently they reached the leader’s house, where Jesus saw a scene of confusion – people weeping and wailing incessantly.
39 Akapinda akati kwavari, “Ko, mheremhere ndeyeiko nokuungudza uku? Mwana haana kufa asi avete.”
“Why this confusion and weeping?” he said on entering. “The little child is not dead; she is asleep.”
40 Asi vakamuseka. Mushure mokunge avabudisa vose panze, akatora baba namai vomwana navadzidzi vaakanga anavo, akapinda makanga muno mwana.
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 Akamubata noruoko akati kwaari, “Tarita kumi!” (zvichireva kuti, “Musikana, ndinoti kwauri, muka!”)
Taking her hand, Jesus said to her, “Talitha, koum!” – which means ‘little girl, I am speaking to you – Rise!’
42 Pakarepo musikana akasimuka akafamba-famba (akanga ana makore gumi namaviri okuberekwa). Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vakashamiswa zvikuru.
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 Akarayira nokurayira kukuru kuti parege kuva nomunhu anoziva nezvazvo, uye akavaudza kuti vamupe zvokudya.
but Jesus repeatedly cautioned them not to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.
