< Marko 5 >

1 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ bɛduruu ɛpo no fa baabi wɔ Gerasefoɔ asase so.
And they came to the other side of the sea, into the territory of the Gerasenes.
2 Ɔresi afiri kodoɔ no mu no, ɔbarima bi a honhommɔne wɔ ne mu de mmirika firi amusieeɛ bɛhyiaa no.
And when he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3 Na saa ɔbarima yi te amusieeɛ hɔ.
He lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.
4 Ɔyɛ obi a na ne ho yɛ den yie enti, sɛ wɔde nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mpo gu ne nsa a, ɔtumi bubu mu a obiara ntumi nkɔ nʼanim.
For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. No one had the strength to tame him.
5 Anadwo ne awia nyinaa na ɔnenam amusieeɛ hɔ mmepɔ no mu a, ɔde aboɔ a ano yɛ nam twitwa ne ho.
And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Ɔbarima yi hunuu Yesu wɔ akyirikyiri no, ɔtuu mmirika, bɛbuu no nkotodwe.
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7 Ɔteateaam sɛ, “Yesu, Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn no Ba, ɛdeɛn na wowɔ ne me yɛ? Mesrɛ wo, ɛnyɛ me ayayadeɛ biara!”
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
8 Yesu tiaa honhommɔne a ɛwɔ ɔbarima no mu no sɛ, “Honhommɔne, firi ne mu fi!”
For he had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."
9 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Wɔfrɛ wo sɛn?” Ɔbuaa Yesu sɛ, “Me din de ‘Ɛdɔm’ ɛfiri sɛ, yɛdɔɔso.”
And then he asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10 Afei, ɔsrɛɛ Yesu anibereɛ so sɛ ɔmmpam wɔn nkɔ akyirikyiri.
And he pleaded with Jesus repeatedly not to send them away out of the region.
11 Saa ɛberɛ no, na mprakokuo bi redidi wɔ bepɔ no nkyɛn baabi a ɛbɛn ɛpo no.
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 Enti, ahonhommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Tu yɛn na yɛnkɔhyɛ mprako no mu.”
And they begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13 Yesu maa wɔn ho ɛkwan ma wɔkɔhyɛɛ mprako no mu. Mprako no de ahoɔherɛ sianee bepɔ no kɔguu ɛpo no mu ma ɛfaa wɔn.
And he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs; and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14 Mprakohwɛfoɔ no dwane baa nkuro a ɛbɛn hɔ no mu bɛkaa deɛ wɔahunu no kyerɛɛ wɔn. Wɔn a wɔteeɛ no kɔhwɛɛ deɛ asie no.
And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went to see what it was that had happened.
15 Nnipakuo no duruu baabi a Yesu wɔ no, wɔhunuu ɔbarima a na honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma no sɛ ɔte hɔ dinn a nʼadwenem ate no. Yei maa wɔn ho dwirii wɔn.
And they came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16 Wɔn a wɔhunuu asɛm a asi no ka kyerɛɛ afoforɔ,
And those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17 maa nnipakuo no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmfiri wɔn nkyɛn nkɔ, na wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn!
And then they began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 Enti, ɔsane foro kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu. Ɔbarima a na honhommɔne wɔ ne mu no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔne no kɔ.
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons pleaded with him that he might be with him.
19 Nanso, Yesu kaa sɛ, “Dabi, na kɔ na kɔka anwanwadeɛ a Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama wo yi ne nʼahummɔborɔ ho asɛm kyerɛ wʼabusuafoɔ.”
However, Jesus did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20 Enti, ɔbarima no firi hɔ kɔɔ Dekapoli, “Nkuro Edu” no a, ɛwɔ saa ɔmantam no mu, kɔkaa anwanwadeɛ a Yesu ayɛ ama no no kyerɛɛ obiara. Wɔtee asɛm no, wɔn ho dwirii wɔn.
So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone was amazed.
21 Yesu de kodoɔ no tware baa ɛpo no fa baabi no, nnipakuo bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaa wɔ mpoano hɔ.
And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a large crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22 Asafopanin bi a na ɔwɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Yairo no, buu Yesu nkotodwe,
One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23 srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔnsa ne babaa yadeɛ mma no. Ɔfiri ahoyera mu ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Abɔfra no rewu, enti mesrɛ wo sɛ, fa wo nsa bɛka no na ɔnnya nkwa.”
and pleaded with him repeatedly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24 Yesu ne no kɔeɛ a nnipakuo no di wɔn akyi.
And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25 Na ɔbaa bi a watu mogya mfirinhyia dumienu ka nnipakuo no ho.
Now a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
26 Ɔde ne yadeɛ no akyin ayaresafoɔ bebree so, atua sika bebree ama wayɛ ohiani, nanso na ne ho ntɔ no ara.
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27 Na wate anwanwadeɛ a Yesu ayɛ no nyinaa, na ɛno enti ɔde ne ho fraa nnipakuo no, firii Yesu akyi sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ ano.
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
28 Ɔdwenee ho kaa sɛ, “Sɛ metumi nya ne ho ɛkwan, de me nsa sɔ nʼatadeɛ mu kɛkɛ a, me ho bɛtɔ me.”
For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29 Ampa ara, ɛsɔ a ɔsɔɔ nʼatadeɛ no mu pɛ, na mogya no twa maa ne ho tɔɔ no!
And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 Amonom hɔ ara, Yesu tee nka sɛ tumi bi afiri ne mu. Ɔdanee ne ho kyerɛɛ nnipakuo no bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔsɔɔ mʼatadeɛ mu no?”
And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 Nʼasuafoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Saa nnipakuo a obiara de ne ho twitwiri ne yɔnko yi na worebisa sɛ, ‘Hwan na ɔde ne nsa aka mʼatadeɛ?’”
And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
32 Nanso, ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔhunu onipa ko a ɔsɔɔ nʼatadeɛ mu no.
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 Ɛberɛ a ɔbaa no hunuu asɛm a asie no, ɔde ahopopoɔ bɛbuu Yesu nkotodwe kaa deɛ ɔyɛeɛ no kyerɛɛ no.
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔbabaa, wo gyidie ama wo ho atɔ wo; fa asomdwoeɛ kɔ; wo yadeɛ no agyae.”
And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35 Ɔgu so rekasa kyerɛ ɔbaa no no, abɔfoɔ firi Yairo efie bɛbɔɔ amaneɛ sɛ, Yairo babaa no awu, enti ɛho nhia sɛ Yesu bɛba bio.
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36 Yesu antie deɛ na wɔreka no koraa, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yairo sɛ, “Nsuro, gye di ara.”
But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."
37 Afei, Yesu amma obiara anni nʼakyi ankɔ Yairo efie hɔ gye Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane.
And he allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 Ɛberɛ a Yesu duruu hɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ ɛhɔ nyinaa ayɛ manyamanya a nnipa retwa agyaadwoɔ.
And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 Ɔkɔɔ efie no mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no kɔkasaeɛ. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn ne agyaadwotwa ne gyegyeegye yi? Abɔfra no nwuiɛ; nna na wada!”
And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40 Wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, wɔseree no. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ efie hɔ no sɛ, wɔn nyinaa mfiri adi. Ɔne abɔfra no agya ne ne maame ne nʼasuafoɔ baasa no kɔɔ deɛ abɔfra no da hɔ.
And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 Ɔsɔɔ abɔfra no nsa kaa sɛ, “Talita, Kumm!” a aseɛ ne sɛ “Abaayewa, mese wo sɛ sɔre!”
And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum," which translated means, "Little girl, I tell you, get up."
42 Amonom hɔ ara, abaayewa no sɔreeɛ, na ɔfiri aseɛ nanteeɛ. Na saa abaayewa no adi mfeɛ dumienu. Asɛm a ɛsiiɛ yi maa wɔn ho dwirii wɔn yie.
And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement.
43 Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano sɛ wɔnnka asɛm a asie no nkyerɛ obiara, na mmom, wɔmma abɔfra no aduane nni.
And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
