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

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

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

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

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

He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, 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 apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.

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

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

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

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

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 I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”

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

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

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

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

10 و َتَوَسَّلَ إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ كَي لا يُرسِلَهُمْ خارِجَ المِنطَقَةِ.

He begged 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 on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

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

All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, 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.

At 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.

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

Those 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.

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 him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.

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

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

17 ف َأخَذَ النّاسُ يَرْجُونَ يَسُوعَ أنْ يَرحَلَ عَنْ مِنطَقَتِهِمْ.

They began to beg him to depart from their region.

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

As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged 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.»

He 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.”

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

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

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

When 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.

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

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

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

and 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.”

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

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

25 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ تَنزِفُ مُنذُ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

A certain woman, who had an issue 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 had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

32 أ مّا هُوَ فَنَظَرَ حَولَهُ لِيَرَى مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.

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

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

But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to 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.»

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your 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, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”

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

They 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.

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

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

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

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

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