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

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

²And immediately on his going out of the ship there met him out of the tombs a man possessed by 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 no one was able to bind him, not even with chains;

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

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.

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

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

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

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

⁶Alipomwona Yesu kwa mbali, alimkimbilia, akamwinamia

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.

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

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

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

⁹And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, 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 besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

¹⁰Kisha akamsihi Yesu asiwafukuze hao pepo katika nchi ile.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

¹⁶And they that had seen [it] related to them how it had happened to the [man] possessed by demons, and concerning 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 beg him to depart from their coasts.

¹⁷Basi, wakaanza kumwomba aondoke katika nchi yao.

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

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

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.

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 had done for him; and all wondered.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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 crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

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

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

³²Lakini Yesu akaendelea kutazama amwone huyo aliyefanya hivyo.

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.

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 has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 should know this; and he desired that [something] should be given her to eat.

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