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

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

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

And immediately on his going out of the ship there met him out of the tombs a man possessed by an unclean spirit,

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

who had his dwelling in the tombs; and no one was able to bind him, not even with chains;

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

because 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.

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

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

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

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

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

and 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.

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

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

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

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, Legion is my name, because we are many.

10 و َتَوَسَّلَ إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ كَي لا يُرسِلَهُمْ خارِجَ المِنطَقَةِ.

And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

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

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

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

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

And Jesus 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.

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

And 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.

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

And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting clothed and sensible, that had had the legion: and they were afraid.

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

And they that had seen related to them how it had happened to the possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

17 ف َأخَذَ النّاسُ يَرْجُونَ يَسُوعَ أنْ يَرحَلَ عَنْ مِنطَقَتِهِمْ.

And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.

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

And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought 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.»

And 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.

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 went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.

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

And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

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

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

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

and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

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

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

25 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ تَنزِفُ مُنذُ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood 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 had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?

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

And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 أ مّا هُوَ فَنَظَرَ حَولَهُ لِيَرَى مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.

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

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

But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

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

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.

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

While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's, saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?

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

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

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

And he suffered no one to accompany him save 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.

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

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

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

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

And they derided him. But he, having put all out, takes with the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.

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

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

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

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

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

And he charged them much that no one should know this; and he desired that should be given her to eat.
