¹And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,

¹Basi, wakafika katika nchi ya Wagerase, ng'ambo ya ziwa.

²and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

²Mara tu Yesu aliposhuka mashuani, mtu mmoja aliyepagawa na pepo mchafu alitoka makaburini, akakutana naye.

³who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,

³Mtu huyo alikuwa akiishi makaburini wala hakuna mtu aliyeweza tena kumfunga kwa minyororo.

⁴because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,

⁴Mara nyingi walimfunga kwa pingu na minyororo lakini kila mara aliweza kuikata hiyo minyororo na kuzivunja hizo pingu, wala hakuna mtu aliyeweza kumzuia.

⁵and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.

⁵Mchana na usiku alikaa makaburini na milimani akipaaza sauti na kujikatakata kwa mawe.

⁶And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

⁶Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alimkimbilia, akamwinamia

⁷and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!`

⁷akisema kwa sauti kubwa, "Una shauri gani nami, wewe Yesu Mwana wa Mungu aliye juu? Kwa jina la Mungu, nakusihi usinitese!"

⁸(for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,`)

⁸(Alisema hivyo kwa kuwa Yesu alikuwa amemwambia, "Pepo mchafu, mtoke mtu huyu.")

⁹and he was questioning him, `What [is] thy name?` and he answered, saying, `Legion [is] my name, because we are many;`

⁹Basi, Yesu akamwuliza, "Jina lako nani?" Naye akajibu, "Jina langu ni Jeshi, maana sisi tu wengi."

¹⁰and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.

¹⁰Kisha akamsihi Yesu asiwafukuze hao pepo katika nchi ile.

¹¹And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

¹¹Kulikuwa na kundi kubwa la nguruwe malishoni kwenye mteremko wa mlima.

¹²and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;`

¹²Basi, hao pepo wakamsihi, "Utupeleke kwa hao nguruwe, tuwaingie."

¹³and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea — and they were about two thousand — and they were choked in the sea.

¹³Naye akawaruhusu. Basi, hao pepo wachafu wakatoka, wakawaingia wale nguruwe. Kundi lote la nguruwe wapatao elfu mbili likaporomoka kwenye ule mteremko mkali mpaka ziwani, likatumbukia majini.

¹⁴And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;

¹⁴Wachungaji wa hao nguruwe walikimbia, wakatangaza jambo hilo mjini na mashambani. Watu wakafika kuona yaliyotukia.

¹⁵and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded — him having had the legion — and they were afraid;

¹⁵Wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwona na mtu yuleyule aliyekuwa amepagawa na jeshi la pepo ameketi chini, amevaa nguo na ana akili yake sawa, wakaogopa.

¹⁶and those having seen [it], declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine;

¹⁶Watu walishuhudia tukio hilo wakaeleza wengine mambo yaliyompata huyo mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo na juu ya wale nguruwe.

¹⁷and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.

¹⁷Basi, wakaanza kumwomba aondoke katika nchi yao.

¹⁸And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him,

¹⁸Yesu alipokuwa anapanda mashuani, yule mtu aliyekuwa amepagawa na pepo akamwomba amruhusu kwenda naye.

¹⁹and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, `Go away to thy house, unto thine own [friends], and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee;

¹⁹Lakini Yesu akamkatalia. Badala yake akamwambia, "Nenda nyumbani kwa jamaa yako, ukawaambie mambo yote Bwana aliyokutendea na jinsi alivyokuonea huruma."

²⁰and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

²⁰Basi, huyo mtu akaenda, akaanza kutangaza huko Dekapoli mambo yote Yesu aliyomtendea; watu wote wakashangaa.

²¹And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

²¹Yesu alivukia tena upande wa pili wa ziwa kwa mashua. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukakusanyika mbele yake, naye akawa amesimama kando ya ziwa.

²²and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet,

²²Hapo akaja mmojawapo wa maofisa wa sunagogi, jina lake Yairo. Alipomwona Yesu, akajitupa mbele ya miguu yake,

²³and he was calling upon him much, saying — `My little daughter is at the last extremity — that having come, thou mayest lay on her [thy] hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;`

²³akamsihi akisema, "Binti yangu mdogo ni mgonjwa karibu kufa. Twende tafadhali, ukamwekee mikono yako, apate kupona na kuishi."

²⁴and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

²⁴Basi, Yesu akaondoka pamoja naye. Watu wengi sana wakamfuata, wakawa wanamsonga kila upande.

²⁵and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁵Mmojawapo alikuwa mwanamke mwenye ugonjwa wa kutokwa damu kwa muda wa miaka kumi na miwili.

²⁶and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

²⁶Mwanamke huyo alikuwa amekwisha sumbuka sana kuwaendea waganga wengi. Na ingawa alikuwa amekwisha tumia mali yake yote, hakupata nafuu bali hali yake ilizidi kuwa mbaya.

²⁷having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment,

²⁷Alikuwa amesikia habari za Yesu, na hivyo akaupenya msongamano wa watu kutoka nyuma, akagusa vazi lake.

²⁸for she said — `If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;`

²⁸Alifanya hivyo, maana alijisemea, "Nikigusa tu vazi lake, nitapona."

²⁹and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague.

²⁹Mara chemchemi ya damu yake ikakauka, akajisikia mwilini mwake kwamba ameponywa ugonjwa wake.

³⁰And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?`

³⁰Yesu alitambua mara kwamba nguvu imemtoka. Basi akaugeukia ule umati wa watu, akauliza, "Nani aliyegusa mavazi yangu?"

³¹and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!`

³¹Wanafunzi wake wakamjibu, "Unaona jinsi watu wanavyokusonga; mbona wauliza nani aliyekugusa?"

³²And he was looking round to see her who did this,

³²Lakini Yesu akaendelea kutazama amwone huyo aliyefanya hivyo.

³³and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

³³Hapo huyo mwanamke, akifahamu yaliyompata, akajitokeza akitetemeka kwa hofu, akajitupa chini mbele ya Yesu na kusema ukweli wote.

³⁴and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.`

³⁴Yesu akamwambia, "Binti, imani yako imekuponya. Nenda kwa amani, upone kabisa ugonjwa wako."

³⁵As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue`s [house, certain], saying — `Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?`

³⁵Yesu alipokuwa bado anaongea, watu walifika kutoka nyumbani kwa yule ofisa wa sunagogi, wakamwambia, "Binti yako amekwisha kufa. Ya nini kuendelea kumsumbua Mwalimu?"

³⁶And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.`

³⁶Lakini, bila kujali walichosema, Yesu akamwambia mkuu wa sunagogi, "Usiogope, amini tu."

³⁷And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

³⁷Wala hakumruhusu mtu yeyote kufuatana naye ila Petro, Yakobo na Yohane nduguye Yakobo.

³⁸and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;

³⁸Wakafika nyumbani kwa ofisa wa sunagogi naye Yesu akasikia makelele, kilio na maombolezo mengi.

³⁹and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

³⁹Akaingia ndani, akawaambia, "Mbona mnapiga kelele na kulia? Msichana hakufa, amelala tu."

⁴⁰and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

⁴⁰Lakini wao wakamcheka. Basi, akawaondoa wote nje, akawachukua baba na mama ya huyo msichana na wale wanafunzi wake, wakaingia chumbani alimokuwa huyo msichana.

⁴¹and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;` which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.`

⁴¹Kisha akamshika mkono, akamwambia, "Talitha, kumi," maana yake, "Msichana, nakwambia, amka!"

⁴²And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years [old]; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

⁴²Mara msichana akasimama, akaanza kutembea. (Alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili.) Hapo watu wakashangaa kupita kiasi.

⁴³and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

⁴³Yesu akawakataza sana wasimjulishe mtu jambo hilo. Kisha akawaambia wampe huyo msichana chakula.
