¹ወደ ባሕር ማዶም ወደ ጌርጌሴኖን አገር መጡ።

¹They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

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

²When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.

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

³He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, 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 apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.

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

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

⁶ኢየሱስንም ከሩቅ ባየ ጊዜ ሮጦ ሰገደለት፥

⁶When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,

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

⁷and 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, don’t torment me.”

⁸አንተ ርኵስ መንፈስ፥ ከዚህ ሰው ውጣ ብሎት ነበርና።

⁸For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

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

⁹He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”

¹⁰ከአገርም ውጭ እንዳይሰዳቸው አጥብቆ ለመነው።

¹⁰He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

¹¹በዚያም በተራራ ጥግ ብዙ የእሪያ መንጋ ይሰማራ ነበርና።

¹¹Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

¹²ወደ እሪያዎቹ እንድንገባ ስደደን ብለው ለመኑት።

¹²All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”

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

¹³At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

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

¹⁴Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.

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

¹⁵They 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.

¹⁶ያዩት ሰዎችም አጋንንት ላደሩበት ሰው የሆነውንና ስለ እሪያዎቹ ተረኩላቸው።

¹⁶Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.

¹⁷ከአገራቸውም እንዲሄድላቸው ይለምኑት ጀመር።

¹⁷They began to beg him to depart from their region.

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

¹⁸As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged 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።

¹⁹He didn’t allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.”

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

²⁰He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

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

²¹When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

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

²²Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,

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

²³and begged him much, 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.”

²⁴ከእርሱም ጋር ሄደ። ብዙ ሕዝብም ተከተሉት አጋፉትም።

²⁴He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

²⁵ከአሥራ ሁለት ዓመትም ጀምሮ ደም የሚፈሳት ሴት ነበረች፥

²⁵A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,

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

²⁶and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

²⁷የኢየሱስንም ወሬ ሰምታ በስተኋላው በሰዎች መካከል መጥታ ልብሱን ዳሰሰች።

²⁷having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.

²⁸ልብሱን ብቻ የዳሰስሁ እንደ ሆነ እድናለሁ ብላለችና።

²⁸For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”

²⁹ወዲያውም የደምዋ ምንጭ ደረቀ ከሥቃይዋም እንደዳነች በሰውነትዋ አወቀች።

²⁹Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

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

³⁰Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

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

³¹His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

³²ይህንም ያደረገችውን ለማየት ዘወር ብሎ ይመለከት ነበር።

³²He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

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

³³But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

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

³⁴He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

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

³⁵While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”

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

³⁶But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”

³⁷ከጴጥሮስም ከያዕቆብም ከያዕቆብም ወንድም ከዮሐንስ በቀር ማንም እንዲከተለው አልፈቀደም።

³⁷He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

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

³⁸He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.

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

³⁹When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”

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

⁴⁰They 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 lying.

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

⁴¹Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”

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

⁴²Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

⁴³ይህንም ማንም እንዳያውቅ አጥብቆ አዞአቸው። የምትበላውን ስጡአት አላቸው።

⁴³He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
