Marko 5
1 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no twaa ɔtare no koduu Gerasefo asase so.
On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.
2 Ɔresi afi ɔkorow no mu no, ɔbarima bi a ahonhommɔne wɔ ne mu de mmirika fi amusiei behyiaa no.
As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.
3 Na saa ɔbarima yi te abonna mu a obiara ntumi mfa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn nkyekyere no bio.
This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.
4 Ɔyɛ obi a na ne ho yɛ den yiye nti, sɛ wɔde nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn gu ne nsa mpo a, otumi bubu mu a obiara ntumi nkɔ nʼanim.
Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.
5 Anadwo ne awia nyinaa na ɔnenam amusiei hɔ mmepɔw no mu a, ɔde abo a ano yɛ nam twitwa ne ho.
Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 Ɔbarima yi huu Yesu wɔ akyirikyiri no, otuu mmirika, bebuu no nkotodwe.
When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
7 Ɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yesu, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn no Ba, dɛn na wowɔ ne me yɛ? Onyankopɔn din mu, nyɛ me ayayade biara!”
And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”
8 Yesu teɛɛ honhommɔne a ɛwɔ ɔbarima no mu no se, “Honhommɔne, fi ne mu kɔ!”
For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”
9 Yesu bisaa no se, “Wɔfrɛ wo dɛn?” Obuaa Yesu se, “Me din de ‘Dɔm’ efisɛ yɛdɔɔso.”
“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
10 Afei ɔsrɛɛ Yesu anibere so sɛ ɔmmpam wɔn nnkɔ akyirikyiri.
And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
11 Saa bere no na mprakokuw bi redidi wɔ bepɔw no nkyɛn baabi a ɛbɛn po no.
There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
12 Enti ahonhommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu se, “Tu yɛn na yɛnkɔhyɛ mprako no mu.”
So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
13 Yesu maa wɔn ho kwan ma wɔkɔhyɛɛ mprako no mu. Mprakokuw bɛyɛ mpenu no de ahoɔhare sian bepɔw no koguu po no mu ma ɛfaa wɔn.
He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.
14 Mprakohwɛfo no guan baa nkurow a ɛbɛn hɔ no mu bɛkaa nea wɔahu no kyerɛɛ wɔn. Wɔn a wɔtee no kɔhwɛɛ nea asi no.
Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
15 Nnipakuw no duu faako a Yesu wɔ no wohuu ɔbarima a na honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma no sɛ ɔte hɔ dinn a nʼadwene mu atew no. Eyi maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16 Wɔn a wohuu asɛm a asi no ka kyerɛɛ afoforo.
Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
17 Afei nnipakuw no fii ase srɛɛ Yesu se, omfi wɔn man mu nkɔ!
And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18 Yesu reforo ɔkorow akɔtena mu no, ɔbarima a na honhommɔne wɔ ne mu no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔne no kɔ.
As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
19 Nanso Yesu kae se, “Dabi, na kɔ na kɔka anwonwade a Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama wo yi ne nʼahummɔbɔ ho asɛm kyerɛ wʼabusuafo.”
But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”
20 Enti ɔbarima no fi hɔ kɔɔ Dekapoli, “Nkurow Du” no a ɛwɔ saa ɔmantam no mu no mu kɔkaa anwonwade a Yesu ayɛ ama no no kyerɛɛ obiara. Wɔtee asɛm no wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
21 Yesu de ɔkorow no twa baa po no fa baabi no, nnipakuw betwaa ne ho hyiaa wɔ mpoano hɔ.
When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
22 Asafopanyin a na wɔfrɛ no Yairo baa hɔ na ohuu Yesu no obuu nkotodwe,
A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet
23 srɛɛ no se ɔnsa ne babea yare mma no. Ofi ahoyeraw mu ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Abofra no rewu, enti mesrɛ wo sɛ, fa wo nsa bɛka no na onya nkwa.”
and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”
24 Yesu ne no kɔe a nnipakuw no di wɔn akyi.
So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.
25 Na ɔbea bi a watu mogya mfe dumien ka nnipakuw no ho.
And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
26 Ɔde ne yare no akyin ayaresafo bebree so, atua sika bebree ama wayɛ ohiani, nanso na ne ho ntɔ no ara.
She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.
27 Na wate anwonwade a Yesu ayɛ no nyinaa, na ɛno nti ɔde ne ho fraa nnipakuw no, de ne nsa besoo Yesu atade mu no.
When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
28 Ɔdwenee ho kae se, “Sɛ mitumi nya ne ho kwan, de me nsa so nʼatade mu kɛkɛ a, me ho bɛtɔ me.”
For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
29 Ampa ara, so a osoo nʼatade no mu pɛ na mogya no twa maa ne ho tɔɔ no.
Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 Amono mu hɔ ara, Yesu tee nka sɛ tumi bi afi ne mu. Ɔdan ne ho kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no bisae se, “Hena na osoo mʼatade mu no?”
At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
31 Nʼasuafo no buae se, “Saa nnipakuw a obiara de ne ho twitwiw ne yɔnko yi na worebisa se, ‘Hena na ɔde ne nsa aka mʼatade?’”
His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32 Nanso ɔpɛɛ sɛ ohu onipa ko a osoo nʼatade mu no.
But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
33 Bere a ɔbea no huu asɛm a asi no, ɔde ahopopo bebuu Yesu nkotodwe kaa nea ɔyɛe no kyerɛɛ no.
Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
34 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔbabea, wo gyidi ama wo ho atɔ wo; fa asomdwoe kɔ; wo yare no agyae.”
“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”
35 Ogu so rekasa akyerɛ ɔbea no, abɔfo fi Yairo fi bɛkae se, “Wo babea no awu; adɛn na woda so haw kyerɛkyerɛfo no?”
While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”
36 Yesu antie nea na wɔreka no koraa, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yairo se, “Nsuro, gye di ara.”
But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
37 Afei, Yesu amma obiara anni nʼakyi ankɔ Yairo fi hɔ, gye Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane.
And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 Bere a Yesu duu hɔ no, ohuu sɛ hɔ nyinaa ayɛ manyamanya a nnipa retwa agyaadwo.
When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
39 Ɔkɔɔ ofi no mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no kɔkasae. Obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn ne agyaadwotwa ne gyegyeegye yi? Abofra no nwui; nna na wada!”
He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
40 Wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, wɔserew no. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ fie hɔ no se, wɔn nyinaa mfi adi. Ɔne abofra no agya ne ne na ne nʼasuafo baasa no kɔɔ nea abofra no da hɔ.
And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
41 Osoo abofra no nsa kae sɛ, “Talita, Kuum!” a ase ne sɛ “Abaawa, mise wo sɛ sɔre!”
Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
42 Amono mu hɔ ara, abeawa no sɔree, na ofii ase nantewee (na wadi mfe dumien). Asɛm a esii yi maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn yiye.
Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.
43 Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano ketee sɛ wɔnnka asɛm a asi no nkyerɛ obiara, na mmom, wɔmma abofra no aduan nni.
Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
