1 T hey came to the other side of the sea to the region of the Gerasenes.

Chegaram então ao outro lado do mar, ã terra dos gerasenos.

2 A nd as soon as He got out of the boat, there met Him out of the tombs a man of an unclean spirit.

E, logo que Jesus saíra do barco, lhe veio ao encontro, dos sepulcros, um homem com espírito imundo,

3 T his man continually lived among the tombs, and no one could subdue him any more, even with a chain;

o qual tinha a sua morada nos sepulcros; e nem ainda com cadeias podia alguém prendê-lo;

4 F or he had been bound often with shackles for the feet and handcuffs, but the handcuffs of chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he rubbed and ground together and broke in pieces; and no one had strength enough to restrain or tame him.

porque, tendo sido muitas vezes preso com grilhões e cadeias, as cadeias foram por ele feitas em pedaços, e os grilhões em migalhas; e ninguém o podia domar;

5 N ight and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always shrieking and screaming and beating and bruising and cutting himself with stones.

e sempre, de dia e de noite, andava pelos sepulcros e pelos montes, gritando, e ferindo-se com pedras,

6 A nd when from a distance he saw Jesus, he ran and fell on his knees before Him in homage,

Vendo, pois, de longe a Jesus, correu e adorou-o;

7 A nd crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have You to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I solemnly implore you by God, do not begin to torment me!

e, clamando com grande voz, disse: Que tenho eu contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? conjuro-te por Deus que não me atormentes.

8 F or Jesus was commanding, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!

Pois Jesus lhe dizia: Sai desse homem, espírito imundo.

9 A nd He asked him, What is your name? He replied, My name is Legion, for we are many.

E perguntou-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? Respondeu-lhe ele: Legião é o meu nome, porque somos muitos.

10 A nd he kept begging Him urgently not to send them away out of that region.

E rogava-lhe muito que não os enviasse para fora da região.

11 N ow a great herd of hogs was grazing there on the hillside.

Ora, andava ali pastando no monte uma grande manada de porcos.

12 A nd the demons begged Him, saying, Send us to the hogs, that we may go into them!

Rogaram-lhe, pois, os demônios, dizendo: Manda-nos para aqueles porcos, para que entremos neles.

13 S o He gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the hogs; and the herd, numbering about 2, 000, rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.

E ele lho permitiu. Saindo, então, os espíritos imundos, entraram nos porcos; e precipitou-se a manada, que era de uns dois mil, pelo despenhadeiro no mar, onde todos se afogaram.

14 T he hog feeders ran away, and told in the town and in the country. And came to see what it was that had taken place.

Nisso fugiram aqueles que os apascentavam, e o anunciaram na cidade e nos campos; e muitos foram ver o que era aquilo que tinha acontecido.

15 A nd they came to Jesus and looked intently and searchingly at the man who had been a demoniac, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, who had had the legion; and they were seized with alarm and struck with fear.

Chegando-se a Jesus, viram o endemoninhado, o que tivera a legião, sentado, vestido, e em perfeito juízo; e temeram.

16 A nd those who had seen it related in full what had happened to the man possessed by demons and to the hogs.

E os que tinham visto aquilo contaram-lhes como havia acontecido ao endemoninhado, e acerca dos porcos.

17 A nd they began to beg to leave their neighborhood.

Então começaram a rogar-lhe que se retirasse dos seus termos.

18 A nd when He had stepped into the boat, the man who had been controlled by the unclean spirits kept begging Him that he might be with Him.

E, entrando ele no barco, rogava-lhe o que fora endemoninhado que o deixasse estar com ele.

19 B ut Jesus refused to permit him, but said to him, Go home to your own and bring back word to them of how much the Lord has done for you, and had sympathy for you and mercy on you.

Jesus, porém, não lho permitiu, mas disse-lhe: Vai para tua casa, para os teus, e anuncia-lhes o quanto o Senhor te fez, e como teve misericórdia de ti.

20 A nd he departed and began to publicly proclaim in Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and all the people were astonished and marveled.

Ele se retirou, pois, e começou a publicar em Decápolis tudo quanto lhe fizera Jesus; e todos se admiravam.

21 A nd when Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side, a great throng gathered about Him, and He was at the lakeshore.

Tendo Jesus passado de novo no barco para o outro lado, ajuntou-se a ele uma grande multidão; e ele estava ã beira do mar.

22 T hen one of the rulers of the synagogue came up, Jairus by name; and seeing Him, he prostrated himself at His feet

Chegou um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo e, logo que viu a Jesus, lançou-se-lhe aos pés.

23 A nd begged Him earnestly, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live.

e lhe rogava com instância, dizendo: Minha filhinha está nas últimas; rogo-te que venhas e lhe imponhas as mãos para que sare e viva.

24 A nd Jesus went with him; and a great crowd kept following Him and pressed Him from all sides.

Jesus foi com ele, e seguia-o uma grande multidão, que o apertava.

25 A nd there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

Ora, certa mulher, que havia doze anos padecia de uma hemorragia,

26 A nd who had endured much suffering under many physicians and had spent all that she had, and was no better but instead grew worse.

e que tinha sofrido bastante

27 S he had heard the reports concerning Jesus, and she came up behind Him in the throng and touched His garment,

tendo ouvido falar a respeito de Jesus, veio por detrás, entre a multidão, e tocou-lhe o manto;

28 F or she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health.

porque dizia: Se tão-somente tocar-lhe as vestes, ficaria curada.

29 A nd immediately her flow of blood was dried up at the source, and '> suddenly] she felt in her body that she was healed of her '> distressing] ailment.

E imediatamente cessou a sua hemorragia; e sentiu no corpo estar já curada do seu mal.

30 A nd Jesus, recognizing in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around immediately in the crowd and said, Who touched My clothes?

E logo Jesus, percebendo em si mesmo que saíra dele poder, virou-se no meio da multidão e perguntou: Quem me tocou as vestes?

31 A nd the disciples kept saying to Him, You see the crowd pressing hard around You from all sides, and You ask, Who touched Me?

Responderam-lhe os seus discípulos: Vês que a multidão te aperta, e perguntas: Quem me tocou?

32 S till He kept looking around to see her who had done it.

Mas ele olhava em redor para ver a que isto fizera.

33 B ut the woman, knowing what had been done for her, though alarmed and frightened and trembling, fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

Então a mulher, atemorizada e trêmula, cônscia do que nela se havia operado, veio e prostrou-se diante dele, e declarou-lhe toda a verdade.

34 A nd He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in (into) peace and be continually healed and freed from your '> distressing bodily] disease.

Disse-lhe ele: Filha, a tua fé te salvou; vai-te em paz, e fica livre desse teu mal.

35 W hile He was still speaking, there came some from the ruler’s house, who said, Your daughter has died. Why bother and distress the Teacher any further?

Enquanto ele ainda falava, chegaram pessoas da casa do chefe da sinagoga, a quem disseram: A tua filha já morreu; por que ainda incomodas o Mestre?

36 O verhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.

O que percebendo Jesus, disse ao chefe da sinagoga: Não temas, crê somente.

37 A nd He permitted no one to accompany Him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

E não permitiu que ninguém o acompanhasse, senão Pedro, Tiago, e João, irmão de Tiago.

38 W hen they arrived at the house of the ruler of the synagogue, He looked at tumult and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

Quando chegaram a casa do chefe da sinagoga, viu Jesus um alvoroço, e os que choravam e faziam grande pranto.

39 A nd when He had gone in, He said to them, Why do you make an uproar and weep? The little girl is not dead but is sleeping.

E, entrando, disse-lhes: Por que fazeis alvoroço e chorais? a menina não morreu, mas dorme.

40 A nd they laughed and jeered at Him. But He put them all out, and, taking the child’s father and mother and those who were with Him, He went in where the little girl was lying.

E riam-se dele; porém ele, tendo feito sair a todos, tomou consigo o pai e a mãe da menina, e os que com ele vieram, e entrou onde a menina estava.

41 G ripping her by the hand, He said to her, Talitha cumi—which translated is, Little girl, I say to you, arise '> from the sleep of death]!

E, tomando a mão da menina, disse-lhe: Talita cumi, que, traduzido, é: Menina, a ti te digo, levanta-te.

42 A nd instantly the girl got up and started walking around—for she was twelve years old. And they were utterly astonished and overcome with amazement.

Imediatamente a menina se levantou, e pôs-se a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E logo foram tomados de grande espanto.

43 A nd He strictly commanded and warned them that no one should know this, and He '> expressly] told them to give her to eat.

Então ordenou-lhes expressamente que ninguém o soubesse; e mandou que lhe dessem de comer.
