< Markus 5 >

1 Så kommo de öfver hafvet, in i de Gadareners ängd.
Jesus and his disciples arrived on the [east] side of Lake [Galilee. They landed near] where the Gerasene [people lived].
2 Och straxt han steg utu skeppet, lopp emot honom, utu grifter, en man besatt med den orena andan;
There was a man in that region whom evil spirits controlled.
3 Den der plägade bo uti grifter; och ingen kunde honom binda med kedjor.
[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 Förty han hade många resor varit bunden med fjettrar och kedjor; och kedjorna voro sletna af honom, och fjettrarna sönderslagne; och ingen kunde späka honom.
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 Och han var alltid, dag och natt, på bergen, och i grifterna, ropade och slog sig sjelf med stenar.
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 Då han nu såg Jesum fjerran ifrå sig, lopp han till, och föll neder för honom.
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 Och ropade med höga röst, och sade: Hvad hafver jag med dig göra, Jesu, den högstas Guds Son? Jag besvär dig vid Gud, att du icke qväl mig.
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 Då sade han till honom: Far ut af menniskone, du orene ande.
9 Och sporde han honom: Hvad är ditt namn? Svarade han och sade: Legio är mitt namn; förty vi äre månge.
[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 Och han bad honom storliga, att han icke skulle drifva honom bort utu den ängden.
Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.
11 Och der var vid bergen en stor svinahjord, den der gick och födde sig;
[At the same time], a large herd of pigs was (grazing/rooting for food) nearby on the hillside.
12 Och djeflarna bådo honom alle, sägande: Sänd oss i svinen, att vi må fara in uti dem.
So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”
13 Och Jesus tillstadde dem det straxt. Och de orene andar drogo straxt ut, och foro in uti svinen; och hjorden brådstörte sig i hafvet; och de voro vid tutusend, och vordo fördränkte i hafvet.
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 Men de, som skötte svinen, flydde och förkunnade det in i staden, och på bygdene; och de gingo ut till att se hvad skedt var;
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 Och kommo till Jesum, och sågo honom, som hade besatt varit, och haft legionen, sittandes kläddan, och vid sin skäl; och vordo förfärade.
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 Och de som det sett hade, förtäljde dem hvad den besatta vederfaret var, och om svinen.
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 Och de begynte bedja honom, att han skulle draga utu deras ängd.
Then the people pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
18 Och då han var stigen till skepps, bad honom den som hade besatt varit, att han måtte vara när honom.
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 Men Jesus tillstadde det icke, utan sade till honom: Gack dina färde uti ditt hus till dina, och förkunna dem, huru stor ting Herren hafver gjort med dig, och hafver miskundat sig öfver dig.
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 Och han gick sina färde, och begynte förkunna uti de tio städer, huru stor ting Jesus med honom gjort hade. Och alle förundrade sig.
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 Och då Jesus var öfverfaren igen med skeppet, församlades till honom mycket folk; och var vid hafvet.
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 Och si, der kom en af Synagogones öfverstar, benämnd Jairus; och då han fick se honom, föll han ned för hans fötter;
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 Och bad honom storliga, och sade: Min dotter är i sitt yttersta; jag beder dig, att du kommer, och lägger händer på henne, att hon måtte vederfås, och lefva.
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 Och han gick med honom; och honom följde mycket folk, och de trängde honom.
So Jesus [and the disciples] went with him. A large crowd followed [Jesus] and [many] pushed close to him.
25 Och der var en qvinna, som hade haft blodgång i tolf år.
There was a woman [in the crowd] who had vaginal bleeding [EUP] [every day] for twelve years.
26 Och hade mycket lidit af mångom läkarom, och förtärt dermed allt sitt, och hade dock ingen hjelp förnummit; utan det vardt heldre värre med henne.
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 Då hon hörde om Jesu, kom hon ibland folket bakefter, och tog på hans kläder;
After she heard that Jesus [healed people], she came [to where he was and pushed] in the crowd [close] behind Jesus.
28 Ty hon sade: Kunde jag åtminstone taga på hans kläder, då vorde jag helbregda.
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 Och straxt förtorkades hennes blods källa; och hon kände det i kroppen, att hon botad var utaf den plågon.
At once her bleeding stopped. At the same time, she sensed that she had been cured of {that [he] had cured} her illness.
30 Och Jesus kändet straxt i sig sjelf, att kraft utgången var af honom; och vände sig om ibland folket, och sade: Ho kom vid min kläder?
Jesus [also] immediately sensed that his power had healed someone. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 Och hans Lärjungar sade till honom: Ser du icke, folket tränger dig på alla sidor, och du säger: Ho kom vid mig?
[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 Och han såg omkring efter henne, som det gjort hade.
But Jesus kept looking around in order to see the one who had done it.
33 Men qvinnan fruktade och bäfvade; ty hon visste, hvad med henne skedt var; och kom, och föll neder för honom, och sade honom alla sanningena.
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 Då sade han till henne: Dotter, din tro hafver gjort dig helbregda; gack med frid, och var helbregda af dine plågo.
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 Vid han ännu talade, kommo någre ifrå Synagogones öfversta, och sade: Din dotter är död; hvi gör du Mästaren yttermera omak?
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 Men straxt Jesus hörde talet, som sades, sade han till Synagogones öfversta: Frukta dig intet; allenast tro.
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 Och han tillstadde icke, att honom någor följa skulle, förutan Petrus och Jacobus, och Johannes, Jacobi broder.
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 Och så kom han i Synagogones öfverstas hus, och fick se sorlet, och dem som mycket sörjde och greto.
39 Och han gick in, och sade till dem: Hvad sorlen I, och gråten? Pigan är icke död; men hon sofver.
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 Och de gjorde gäck af honom. Då dref han alla ut, och tog med sig pigones fader och moder, och dem som med honom voro, och gick in der pigan låg.
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 Och fattade pigona vid handena, sägande till henne: Talitha kumi; det uttydes: Piga, jag säger dig, statt upp.
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 Och straxt stod pigan upp, och gick; och hon var vid tolf år gammal. Och de vordo öfvermåtton förskräckte.
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 Och han förböd dem strängeliga, att ingen skulle det veta; och böd gifva henne äta.
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}.
