1 و َجاءُوا إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الجَدَرِيِّينَ عَلَىْ الشاطئِ الآخَرِ مِنَ البُحَيرَةِ.

They came to the other side of the sea to the region of the Gerasenes.

2 و َحالَما خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ القارِبِ، جاءَ إلَيهِ مِنْ بَينِ القُبُورِ رَجُلٌ فِيهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ.

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

3 ك انَ الرَّجُلُ يَعِيشُ بَينَ القُبُورِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أحَدٌ يَستَطِيعُ أنْ يُقَيِّدَهُ وَلا حَتَّى بِالسَّلاسِلِ.

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

4 ف َقَدْ كانَ يُحَطِّمُ القُيُودَ، وَيُقَطِّعُ السَّلاسِلَ الَّتي كَثيراً ما قَيَّدَهُ النّاسُ بِها. فَلَمْ يَستَطِعْ أحَدٌ أنْ يُسَيطِرَ عَلَيهِ.

For 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.

5 و َكانَ لَيلاً وَنَهاراً بَينَ القُبُورِ وَفِي التِّلالِ، يُجَرِّحُ نَفسَهُ بِالحِجارَةِ وَيَصرُخُ.

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

6 و َلَكِنْ عِندَما رَأى يَسُوعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، رَكَضَ نَحوَهُ وَسَجَدَ أمامَهُ،

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

7 و َصَرَخَ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ وَقالَ: «ماذا تُرِيدُ مِنِّي يا يَسُوعُ يا ابنَ اللهِ العَلِيِّ؟ أُناشِدُكَ بِاللهِ ألّا تُعَذِّبَنِي!»

And 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!

8 ق الَ هَذا لِأنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ قَدْ أمَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ بِأنْ يَخرُجَ.

For Jesus was commanding, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!

9 ف َسَألَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ما اسْمُكَ؟» فَأجابَهُ: «اسْمِي جَيشٌ لِأنَّ عَدَدَنا كَبِيرٌ.»

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

10 و َتَوَسَّلَ إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ كَي لا يُرسِلَهُمْ خارِجَ المِنطَقَةِ.

And he kept begging Him urgently not to send them away out of that region.

11 و َكانَ هُناكَ قَطِيعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الخَنازِيرِ يَرعَى قُرْبَ حافَّةِ الجَبَلِ فِي تِلْكَ المِنطَقَةِ.

Now a great herd of hogs was grazing there on the hillside.

12 ف َتَوَسَّلَتِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ إلَيهِ وَقالَتْ: «أرسِلْنا إلَى هَذِهِ الخَنازِيرِ لِنَدخُلَ فِيها.»

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

13 ف َسَمَحَ لَهُمْ بَذَلِكَ، فَخَرَجَتِ الأرواحُ النَّجِسَةُ وَدَخَلَتْ فِي الخَنازِيرِ. فَاندَفَعَ القَطِيعُ مِنْ حافَّةِ الجَبَلِ إلَى البُحَيرَةِ وَغَرِقَ فِيها، وَكانَ عَدَدُ الخَنازيرِ نَحوَ ألفَينِ.

So 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.

14 أ مّا الرُّعاةُ فَهَرَبُوا، وَأبلَغُوا النّاسَ فِي البَلدَةِ وَفِي الرِّيفِ بِما حَصَلَ. فَجاءَ النّاسُ جَمِيعاً لِيَرَوا ما الَّذِي حَدَثَ.

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

15 ف َأتَوْا إلَى يَسُوعَ وَرَأَوْا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كانَ مَسكُوناً بِالأرواحِ النَّجِسَةِ جالِساً وَهوَ لابِسٌ وَفِي كامِلِ عَقلِهِ، فَخافُوا.

And 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.

16 و َأخبَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ رَأَوْا عَنْ ما حَدَثَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ المَسكُونِ بِالأرواحِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَعَنِ الخَنازِيرِ.

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

17 ف َأخَذَ النّاسُ يَرْجُونَ يَسُوعَ أنْ يَرحَلَ عَنْ مِنطَقَتِهِمْ.

And they began to beg to leave their neighborhood.

18 و َبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ يَصْعَدُ إلَى القارِبِ، جاءَ إلَيهِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كانَ مَسكُوناً بِأرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ يَرجُوهُ أنْ يَسمَحَ لَهُ بِمُرافَقتِهِ.

And 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.

19 ل َكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَسمَحْ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ، بَلْ قالَ لَهُ: «عُدْ إلَى بَيتِكَ، وَأخبِرْ بِكُلِّ ما فَعَلَهُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أجلِكَ، وَكَيفَ رَحَمَكَ.»

But 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.

20 ف ذَهَبَ وَابْتَدَأ يُذيعُ فِي المُدُنِ العَشْرِ ما فَعَلَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنْ أجلِهِ. فَكانَ جَمِيعُ النّاسِ يَتَعَجَّبونَ. إقامَةُ فَتاةٍ مِنَ المَوتِ وَشِفاءُ امْرأةٍ نازِفَةٍ

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

21 و َعِندَما عَبَرَ يَسُوعُ فِي القارِبِ إلَى النّاحِيَةِ الأُخرَى مِنَ البُحَيرَةِ، اجتَمَعَ حَولَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ وَهوَ عِنْدَ الشّاطِئِ.

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

22 ف َجاءَ أحَدُ المَسؤولينَ عَنِ المَجمَعِ وَاسْمُهُ يايرُسَ. وَلَمّا رَأى يَسوعَ ارتَمَى عِنْدَ قَدَمَيهِ،

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

23 و َتَوَسَّلَ إلَيهِ بِشِدَّةٍ وَقالَ: «ابنَتِي الصَّغِيرَةُ قارَبَتْ عَلَى المَوتِ، فَلَعَلَّكَ تَأتِي وَتَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلَيها، فَتُشفَى وَتَعِيشَ.»

And 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.

24 ف َذَهَبَ مَعَهُ. وَكانَ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ يَتَزاحَمونَ حَولَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ جانِبٍ.

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

25 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ تَنزِفُ مُنذُ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

26 و َقَدْ عانَتْ كَثِيراً مَعَ العَدِيدِ مِنَ الأطِبّاءِ، وَأنفَقَتْ كُلَّ ما تَملِكُ مِنْ نُقُودٍ. وَلَمْ يَنفَعْها أحَدٌ، بَلِ ازدادَتْ حالَتُها سُوءاً.

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

27 و َلَمّا سَمِعَتْ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، جاءَتْ مِنْ وَرائِهِ، وَلَمَسَتْ عَباءَتَهِ.

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

28 ل ِأنَّها قالَتْ فِي نَفسِها: «إنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ أنْ ألمُسَ وَلَوْ عَباءَتَهُ، فَسَأُشْفَى.»

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

29 ف َشُفِيَتْ مِنْ نَزِيفُها فُوراً، وَأحَسَّتْ فِي جِسْمِها بِأنَّها شُفِيَتْ.

And 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.

30 ف َشَعَرَ يَسُوعُ أنَّ قُوَّةً قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ. فَالتَفَتَ وَسَألَ: «مَنْ لَمَسَ عَباءَتي؟»

And 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?

31 ف َقالَ لَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «أنتَ تَرَى أنَّ الجَمِيعَ يَزْحَمُونَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ جانِبٍ، وَتَسألُ مَنِ الَّذِي لَمَسَنِي؟»

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

32 أ مّا هُوَ فَنَظَرَ حَولَهُ لِيَرَى مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.

Still He kept looking around to see her who had done it.

33 ف َأدرَكَتِ المَرأةُ ما حَدَثَ لَها. فَجاءَتْ مُرتَعِشَةً وَارتَمَتْ أمامَهُ، وَأخبَرَتْهُ بِالحَقِيقَةِ كُلِّها.

But 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.

34 ف َقالَ لَها: «يا ابنَتِي، لَقَدْ خَلَّصَكِ إيمانُكِ، فَاذْهَبِي بِسَلامٍ. وَتَعافَيْ مِنْ مَرَضَكِ.»

And 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.

35 و َبَينَما كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، جاءَ واحِدٌ مِنْ بَيتِ المَسؤُولِ عَنِ المَجمَعِ وَقالَ: «ابنَتُكَ ماتَتْ، فَلِماذا تُزعِجُ المُعَلِّمَ بَعْدُ.»

While 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?

36 ف َلَمْ يَلتَفِتْ يَسُوعُ إلَىْ هَذا الكَلامِ، بَلْ قالَ للمَسؤولِ عَنِ المَجمَعِ: «لا تَخَفْ. ما عَلَيكَ إلّا أنْ تُؤمِنَ.»

Overhearing 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.

37 و َلَمْ يَسمَحْ لأحَدٍ بِأنْ يُرافِقَهُ سِوَىْ بُطرُسَ وَيَعقُوبَ وَيُوحَنّا أخيْ يَعقُوبَ.

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

38 ف َجاءَوا جَمِيعاً إلَىْ بَيتِ المَسؤولِ عَنِ المَجمَعِ. فَرَأى يَسْوعُ الفَوضَى، وَالنّاسَ يَرفَعُونَ أصواتِهِمْ بِالبُكاءِ وَالنُّواحِ.

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

39 ف َلَمّا دَخَلَ قالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا هَذِهِ الفَوضَىْ وَالنُّواحُ؟ فَالطِّفلَةُ لَمْ تَمُتْ لَكِنَّها نائِمَةٌ.»

And 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.

40 ف َضَحِكُوا عَلَيهِ! أمّا هُوَ فَأخرَجَهُمْ جَمِيعاً وَأدخَلَ مَعَهُ أبا الطِّفلَةِ وَأُمَّها وَمَنْ كانُوا بِرِفقَتِهِ إلَى حَيثُ الفَتاةُ.

And 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.

41 و َأمسَكَ بِيَدِها وَقالَ لَها: «طالِيثا قُومِي.» أي «يا صَبِيَّةُ، أقولُ لَكِ قُومِي.»

Gripping 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]!

42 و َفِي الحالِ نَهَضَتِ الفَتاةُ وَأخَذَتْ تَمْشِي، حَيْثُ إنَّ عُمْرَها كانَ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةٍ. أمّا الَّذينَ كانُوا هُناكَ فَقَدْ تَمَلَّكَهُمُ الذُّهُولُ!

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

43 و َأمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ بِشِدَّةٍ أنْ لا يُخبِرُوا أحَداً بِما حَدَثَ. ثُمَّ طَلَبَ مِنْهُمْ أنْ يُعطُوها شَيئاً لِتَأكُلَهُ.

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