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

Jesus and His followers came to the other side of the sea to the country of the Gerasenes.

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

He got out of the boat. At once a man came to Him from among the graves. This man had a demon.

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

He lived among the graves. No man could tie him, even with chains.

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

Many times he had been tied with chains on his feet. He had broken the chains as well as the irons from his hands and legs. No man was strong enough to keep him tied.

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

Night and day he was among the graves and in the mountains. He would cry out and cut himself with stones.

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

When the man with the demon saw Jesus a long way off, he ran and worshiped Him.

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

The man spoke with a loud voice and said, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I ask You, in the name of God, do not hurt me!”

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

At the same time, Jesus was saying, “Come out of the man, you demon!”

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

Jesus asked the demon, “What is your name?” He said, “My name is Many, for there are many of us.”

10 و َتَوَسَّلَ إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ كَي لا يُرسِلَهُمْ خارِجَ المِنطَقَةِ.

The demons asked Jesus not to send them out of the country.

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

There were many pigs feeding on the mountain side.

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

The demons asked Him saying, “Send us to the pigs 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.

Then Jesus let them do what they wanted to do. So they went into the pigs. The pigs ran fast down the side of the mountain and into the sea and died. There were about 2, 000.

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

The men who cared for the pigs ran fast to the town and out to the country telling what had been done. People came to see what had happened.

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

They came to Jesus and saw the man who had had the demons. He was sitting with clothes on and in his right mind. The men were afraid.

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

Those who had seen it told what had happened to the man who had had the demons. They told what had happened to the pigs.

17 ف َأخَذَ النّاسُ يَرْجُونَ يَسُوعَ أنْ يَرحَلَ عَنْ مِنطَقَتِهِمْ.

Then they asked Jesus to leave their country.

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

Jesus got into the boat. The man who had had the demons asked to go 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.»

Jesus would not let him go but said to him, “Go home to your own people. Tell them what great things the Lord has done for you. Tell them how He had pity 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

The man went his way and told everyone in the land of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him. All the people were surprised and wondered. Two Were Healed through Faith

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

Then Jesus went by boat over to the other side of the sea. Many people gathered around Him. He stayed by the sea-shore.

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

Jairus was one of the leaders of the Jewish place of worship. As Jairus came to Jesus, he got down at His feet.

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

He cried out to Jesus and said, “My little daughter is almost dead. Come and put Your hand on her that she may be healed and live.”

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

Jesus went with him. Many people followed and pushed around Jesus.

25 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ تَنزِفُ مُنذُ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

A woman had been sick for twelve years with a flow of blood.

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

She had suffered much because of having many doctors. She had spent all the money she had. She had received no help, but became worse.

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

She heard about Jesus and went among the people who were following Him. She touched His coat.

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

For she said to herself, “If I can only touch His coat, I will be healed.”

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

At once the flow of blood stopped. She felt in her body that she was healed of her sickness.

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

At the same time Jesus knew that power had gone from Him. He turned and said to the people following Him, “Who touched My coat?”

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

His followers said to Him, “You see the many people pushing on every side. Why do You ask, ‘Who touched My coat?’”

32 أ مّا هُوَ فَنَظَرَ حَولَهُ لِيَرَى مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.

He looked around to see who had done it.

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

The woman was filled with fear when she knew what had happened to her. She came and got down before Jesus and told Him the truth.

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

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free from your sickness.”

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

While Jesus spoke, men came from the house of the leader of the place of worship. They said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher anymore?”

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

Jesus heard this. He said to the leader of the Jewish place of worship, “Do not be afraid, just believe.”

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

He allowed no one to go with Him but 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.

They came to the house where the leader of the place of worship lived. Jesus found many people making much noise and crying.

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

He went in and asked them, “Why is there so much noise and crying? The girl is not dead. She is sleeping.”

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

They laughed at Jesus. But He sent them all out of the room. Then He took the girl’s father and mother and those who were with Him. They went into the room where the girl was.

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

He took the girl by the hand and said, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

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

At once the girl got up and walked. She was twelve years old. They were very much surprised and wondered about it.

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

He spoke sharp words to them that they should not tell anyone. He told them to give her something to eat.
