¹ወደ ባሕር ማዶም ወደ ጌርጌሴኖን አገር መጡ።

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

²ከታንኳይቱም በወጣ ጊዜ፥ ርኵስ መንፈስ የያዘው ሰው ከመቃብር ወጥቶ ወዲያው ተገናኘው፤

²And immediately on his going out of the ship there met him out of the tombs a man possessed by an unclean spirit,

³እርሱም በመቃብር ይኖር ነበር፥ በሰንሰለትም ስንኳ ማንም ሊያስረው በዚያን ጊዜ አይችልም ነበር፤

³who had his dwelling in the tombs; and no one was able to bind him, not even with chains;

⁴ብዙ ጊዜ በእግር ብረትና በሰንሰለት ይታሰር ነበርና ዳሩ ግን ሰንሰለቱን ይበጣጥስ እግር ብረቱንም ይሰባብር ነበር፥ ሊያሸንፈውም የሚችል አልነበረም፤

⁴because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him.

⁵ሁልጊዜም ሌሊትና ቀን በመቃብርና በተራራ ሆኖ ይጮኽ ነበር ሰውነቱንም በድንጋይ ይቧጭር ነበር።

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

⁶ኢየሱስንም ከሩቅ ባየ ጊዜ ሮጦ ሰገደለት፥

⁶But seeing Jesus from afar off, he ran and did him homage,

⁷በታላቅ ድምፅም እየጮኸ። የልዑል እግዚአብሔር ልጅ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ከአንተ ጋር ምን አለኝ? እንዳታሠቃየኝ በእግዚአብሔር አምልሃለሁ አለ፤

⁷and crying with a loud voice he says, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.

⁸አንተ ርኵስ መንፈስ፥ ከዚህ ሰው ውጣ ብሎት ነበርና።

⁸For he said to him, Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man.

⁹ስምህ ማን ነው? ብሎ ጠየቀው። ብዙዎች ነንና ስሜ ሌጌዎን ነው አለው፥

⁹And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, Legion is my name, because we are many.

¹⁰ከአገርም ውጭ እንዳይሰዳቸው አጥብቆ ለመነው።

¹⁰And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

¹¹በዚያም በተራራ ጥግ ብዙ የእሪያ መንጋ ይሰማራ ነበርና።

¹¹Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding;

¹²ወደ እሪያዎቹ እንድንገባ ስደደን ብለው ለመኑት።

¹²and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them.

¹³ኢየሱስም ፈቀደላቸው። ርኵሳን መናፍስቱም ወጥተው ወደ እሪያዎቹ ገቡ፥ ሁለት ሺህም የሚያህል መንጋ ከአፋፉ ወደ ባሕር ተጣደፉና በባሕር ሰጠሙ።

¹³And Jesus [immediately] allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

¹⁴እረኞቹም ሸሽተው በከተማውና በአገሩ አወሩ፤ ነገሩም ምን እንደ ሆነ ለማየት መጡ።

¹⁴And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

¹⁵ወደ ኢየሱስም መጡ፥ አጋንንትም ያደሩበትን ሌጌዎንም የነበረበትን ሰው ተቀምጦ ለብሶም ልቡም ተመልሶ አዩና ፈሩ።

¹⁵And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting [and] clothed and sensible, [him] that had had the legion: and they were afraid.

¹⁶ያዩት ሰዎችም አጋንንት ላደሩበት ሰው የሆነውንና ስለ እሪያዎቹ ተረኩላቸው።

¹⁶And they that had seen [it] related to them how it had happened to the [man] possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

¹⁷ከአገራቸውም እንዲሄድላቸው ይለምኑት ጀመር።

¹⁷And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.

¹⁸ወደ ታንኳይቱም በገባ ጊዜ አጋንንት አድረውበት የነበረው ሰው ከእርሱ ጋር እንዲኖር ለመነው።

¹⁸And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him.

¹⁹ኢየሱስም አልፈቀደለትም፥ ነገር ግን። ወደ ቤትህ በቤተ ሰዎችህ ዘንድ ሄደህ ጌታ እንዴት ያለ ታላቅ ነገር እንዳደረገልህ እንዴትስ እንደ ማረህ አውራላቸው አለው።

¹⁹And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee.

²⁰ሄዶም ኢየሱስ እንዴት ያለ ታላቅ ነገር እንዳደረገለት አሥር ከተማ በሚባል አገር ይሰብክ ጀመር፥ ሁሉም ተደነቁ።

²⁰And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.

²¹ኢየሱስም ደግሞ በታንኳይቱ ወደ ማዶ ከተሻገረ በኋላ ብዙ ሰዎች ወደ እርሱ ተሰበሰቡ፥ በባሕርም አጠገብ ነበረ።

²¹And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

²²ኢያኢሮስ የተባለ ከምኵራብ አለቆች አንዱ መጣ፤ ባየውም ጊዜ በእግሩ ላይ ወደቀና።

²²And [behold] there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and seeing him, falls down at his feet;

²³ታናሽቱ ልጄ ልትሞት ቀርባለችና እንድትድንና በሕይወት እንድትኖር መጥተህ እጅህን ጫንባት ብሎ አጥብቆ ለመነው።

²³and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; [I pray] that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

²⁴ከእርሱም ጋር ሄደ። ብዙ ሕዝብም ተከተሉት አጋፉትም።

²⁴And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed on him.

²⁵ከአሥራ ሁለት ዓመትም ጀምሮ ደም የሚፈሳት ሴት ነበረች፥

²⁵And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood twelve years,

²⁶ከብዙ ባለ መድኃኒቶችም ብዙ ተሠቃየች፤ ገንዘብዋንም ሁሉ ከስራ ባሰባት እንጂ ምንም አልተጠቀመችም፤

²⁶and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse,

²⁷የኢየሱስንም ወሬ ሰምታ በስተኋላው በሰዎች መካከል መጥታ ልብሱን ዳሰሰች።

²⁷having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes;

²⁸ልብሱን ብቻ የዳሰስሁ እንደ ሆነ እድናለሁ ብላለችና።

²⁸for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.

²⁹ወዲያውም የደምዋ ምንጭ ደረቀ ከሥቃይዋም እንደዳነች በሰውነትዋ አወቀች።

²⁹And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.

³⁰ወዲያውም ኢየሱስ ከእርሱ ኃይል እንደ ወጣ በገዛ ራሱ አውቆ በሕዝቡ መካከል ዘወር ብሎ። ልብሴን የዳሰሰ ማን ነው? አለ።

³⁰And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?

³¹ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። ሕዝቡ ሲያጋፉህ እያየህ። ማን ዳሰሰኝ ትላለህን? አሉት።

³¹And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

³²ይህንም ያደረገችውን ለማየት ዘወር ብሎ ይመለከት ነበር።

³²And he looked round about to see her who had done this.

³³ሴቲቱ ግን የተደረገላትን ስላወቀች፥ እየፈራች እየተንቀጠቀጠችም፥ መጥታ በፊቱ ተደፋች እውነቱንም ሁሉ ነገረችው።

³³But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

³⁴እርሱም። ልጄ ሆይ፥ እምነትሽ አድኖሻል፤ በሰላም ሂጂ ከሥቃይሽም ተፈወሽ አላት።

³⁴And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.

³⁵እርሱም ገና ሲናገር ከምኵራብ አለቃው ቤት ዘንድ የመጡት። ልጅህ ሞታለች፤ ስለ ምን መምህሩን አሁን ታደክመዋለህ? አሉት።

³⁵While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?

³⁶ኢየሱስ ግን የተናገሩትን ቃል አድምጦ ለምኵራቡ አለቃ። እመን ብቻ እንጂ አትፍራ አለው።

³⁶But Jesus [immediately], having heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.

³⁷ከጴጥሮስም ከያዕቆብም ከያዕቆብም ወንድም ከዮሐንስ በቀር ማንም እንዲከተለው አልፈቀደም።

³⁷And he suffered no one to accompany him save Peter and James, and John the brother of James.

³⁸ወደ ምኵራቡ አለቃ ቤትም መጥቶ ሰዎች ሲንጫጩና ሲያለቅሱ ዋይታም ሲያበዙ አየ፤

³⁸And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.

³⁹ገብቶም። ስለ ምን ትንጫጫላችሁ ታለቅሳላችሁም? ብላቴናይቱ ተኝታለች እንጂ አልሞተችም አላቸው።

³⁹And entering in he says to them, Why do ye make a tumult and weep? the child has not died, but sleeps.

⁴⁰በጣምም ሳቁበት። እርሱ ግን ሁሉን አስወጥቶ የብላቴናይቱን አባትና እናትም ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩትንም ይዞ ብላቴናይቱ ወዳለችበት ገባ።

⁴⁰And they derided him. But he, having put [them] all out, takes with [him] the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.

⁴¹የብላቴናይቱንም እጅ ይዞ። ጣሊታ ቁሚ አላት፤ ፍችውም አንቺ ብላቴና ተነሽ እልሻለሁ ነው።

⁴¹And having laid hold of the hand of the child, he says to her, Talitha koumi, which is, interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, Arise.

⁴²ብላቴናይቱም የአሥራ ሁለት ዓመት ልጅ ነበረችና ወዲያው ቆማ ተመላለሰች። ወዲያውም ታላቅ መገረም ተገረሙ።

⁴²And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.

⁴³ይህንም ማንም እንዳያውቅ አጥብቆ አዞአቸው። የምትበላውን ስጡአት አላቸው።

⁴³And he charged them much that no one should know this; and he desired that [something] should be given her to eat.
