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

¹Ary tonga teny am-pitan'ny ranomasina tao amin'ny tanin'ny Gerasena izy ireo.

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

²Ary nony niala teo an-tsambokely Izy, niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy lehilahy azom-panahy maloto nivoaka avy teny amin'ny fasana ka nifanena taminy,

³He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,

³fa nitoetra tao amin'ny fasana izy; ary tsy nisy olona nahafatotra azy intsony na dia tamin'ny gadra aza.

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.

⁴Fa efa nafatony matetika tanin'ny gadra, na ny tànany, na ny tongony; nefa ny gadra tamin'ny tànany notapahiny, ary ny gadra tamin'ny tongony notorotoroiny, ka tsy nisy olona nahafolaka azy.

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

⁵Ary mandrakariva, na andro na alina, dia nitoetra teny amin'ny fasana sy teny an-tendrombohitra izy ka ninananana sady niteti-tena tamin'ny vato.

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

⁶Fa nony nahita an'i Jesosy teny lavitra eny izy, dia nihazakazaka ka niankohoka teo anatrehany

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.”

⁷sady niantso tamin'ny feo mahery hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy Hianao, ry Jesosy, Zanak'Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra? Ampianianiko amin'Andriamanitra Hianao, aza mampijaly ahy,

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

⁸satria Jesosy efa nanao taminy hoe: Mivoaha amin'ity lehilahy ity, ry fanahy maloto.

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

⁹Dia nanontany azy Jesosy hoe: Iza moa no anaranao? Ary izy namaly hoe: Legiona no anarako, satria maro izahay.

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

¹⁰Ary nifona mafy taminy izy mba tsy horoahiny hiala amin'izany tany izany.

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

¹¹Ary nisy kisoa maro andiany izay nandrasana teny akaikin'ny tendrombohitra.

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

¹²Ary nifona taminy ireo ka nanao hoe: Alefaso izahay ho any anatin'ny kisoa mba hiditra any aminy.

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.

¹³Dia neken'i Jesosy. Ary ny fanahy maloto, rehefa nivoaka, dia niditra tao anatin'ny kisoa; ary ireo kisoa andiany ireo nitratrevatreva teny amin'ny hantsana ho any amin'ny ranomasina (tokony ho roa arivo no isany), ka dia maty tany amin'ny ranomasina izy.[Gr. kenda]

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.

¹⁴Ary ny mpiandry azy dia nandositra ka nilaza tao an-tanàna sy tany an-tsaha. Dia nandeha ny olona mba hizaha izany zavatra izany;

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.

¹⁵ary tonga tany amin'i Jesosy izy ka nahita ilay demoniaka, izay nisy ny legiona, fa indro izy nipetraka nitafy lamba sady ary saina; ka raiki-tahotra ny olona.

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

¹⁶Ary izay efa nahita dia nilazalaza tamin'ny olona izay natao tamin'ilay demoniaka sy ny amin'ny kisoa.

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

¹⁷Ary nifona tamin'i Jesosy izy mba hiala amin'ny taniny.

¹⁸As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.

¹⁸Ary rehefa hiondrana teo an-tsambokely Jesosy, dia nangataka taminy ilay demoniaka mba hanaraka Azy.

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.”

¹⁹Nefa tsy navelan'i Jesosy izy; fa hoy Izy taminy: Modia ihany any an-tranonao ho any amin'ny havanao, ka lazao aminy izay zavatra lehibe nataon'ny Tompo taminao sy ny namindrany fo taminao.

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

²⁰Dia nandeha izy ka nitory tany Dekapolisy izay zavatra lehibe efa nataon'i Jesosy taminy; ka dia gaga ny olona rehetra.

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.

²¹Ary rehefa nita an-tsambokely indray Jesosy ka tonga teny am-pita, dia nisy vahoaka betsaka tafangona teo aminy; ary teo amoron-dranomasina Izy.

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

²²Dia avy ny anankiray tamin'ny mpanapaka ny synagoga, Jairo no anarany; ary rehefa nahita an'i Jesosy izy, dia niankohoka teo amin'ny tongony

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.”

²³ka niangavy fatratra taminy hoe: Marary efa ho faty ny zanako-vavy kely; andeha re, mametraha ny tananao aminy, mba ho sitrana izy ka ho velona.[Gr. voavonjy]

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

²⁴Dia nandeha niaraka taminy Izy; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy ka nifanety taminy.

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

²⁵Ary nisy vehivavy anankiray izay efa narary roa ambin'ny folo taona [Gr. narary nandeha rà]

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

²⁶sady efa niaritra zavatra be tamin'ny mpanao fanafody maro ka nandany ny fananany rehetra, nefa tsy nety sitrana, fa vao mainka nihanarary kokoa aza;

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

²⁷koa rehefa nahare ny amin'i Jesosy izy, dia nankeo ivohony namaky ny vahoaka ary nanendry ny lambany.

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

²⁸Fa hoy izy: Na dia ny fitafiany ihany aza no voatendriko, dia ho sitrana aho.[Gr. voavonjy]

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

²⁹Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia ritra ny loharanon'aretiny, ka tsaroany tao amin'ny tenany fa sitrana izy.[Gr. fandehanan'ny ràny]

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

³⁰Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia fantatr'i Jesosy fa nisy hery niala taminy, dia nihodina teo afovoan'ny vahoaka Izy ka nanao hoe: Iza izany nanendry ny lambako izany?

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

³¹Fa hoy ny mpianany taminy: Hitanao izao vahoaka mifanety aminao izao, ka hoy Hianao va: Iza no nanendry Ahy?

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

³²Ary nijery manodidina Izy hizaha ny vehivavy izay efa nanao izany.

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.

³³Fa raiki-tahotra sady tora-kovitra ravehivavy, satria fantany izay natao taminy, ka dia nankeo aminy izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehany ary nanambara taminy ny marina rehetra.

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

³⁴Ary hoy Izy taminy: Anaka, ny finoanao no nahasitrana anao: mandehana soa aman-tsara, ary sitràna amin'ny aretinao.[Gr. namonjy]

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

³⁵Raha mbola niteny Jesosy, dia nisy tonga avy tany amin'ilay mpanapaka ny synagoga ka nanao hoe: Efa maty ny zanakao-vavy; nahoana ianao no mbola manahirana ny Mpampianatra ihany?

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

³⁶Fa tsy nahoan'i Jesosy izany teny nataony izany, fa hoy Izy tamin'ilay mpanapaka ny synagoga: Aza matahotra, minoa fotsiny ihany.[Na: Ary nony ren'i Jesosy ny teny nataony, dia]

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

³⁷Ary tsy nisy olona navelany hanaraka Azy afa-tsy Petera sy Jakoba ary Jaona, rahalahin'i Jakoba.

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

³⁸Ary dia tonga tao an-tranon'ilay mpanapaka ny synagoga izy ireo, ka hitan'i Jesosy ny tabataba, dia ny olona izay nitomany sy ninaonaona be ihany.

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.”

³⁹Ary rehefa niditra Izy, dia niteny taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no mitabataba sy mitomany? Tsy maty razazavavy, fa matory.

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.

⁴⁰Dia nihomehy Azy fatratra ny olona. Fa nandroaka azy rehetra Izy, dia nitondra ny ray aman-drenin-drazazavavy mbamin'izay olona teo aminy ka niditra tao amin'izay nisy an-drazazavavy.

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

⁴¹Dia nandray ny tànan-drazazavavy Izy ka niteny taminy hoe: Talita komy, izany hoe, raha adika: Ry zazavavy, hoy Izaho aminao: Mitsangàna.

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

⁴²Dia nitsangana niaraka tamin'izay razazavavy ka afa-nandeha; fa efa roa ambin'ny folo taona izy. Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia talanjona indrindra ny olona.Ary Jesosy nandrara azy mafy mba tsy ho fantatr'olona izany; ary nasainy nomena hanina razazavavy.

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

⁴³Ary Jesosy nandrara azy mafy mba tsy ho fantatr'olona izany; ary nasainy nomena hanina razazavavy.
