1 T hey came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

وَجاءُوا إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الجَدَرِيِّينَ عَلَىْ الشاطئِ الآخَرِ مِنَ البُحَيرَةِ.

2 W hen He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,

وَحالَما خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ القارِبِ، جاءَ إلَيهِ مِنْ بَينِ القُبُورِ رَجُلٌ فِيهِ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ.

3 a nd he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain;

كانَ الرَّجُلُ يَعِيشُ بَينَ القُبُورِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أحَدٌ يَستَطِيعُ أنْ يُقَيِّدَهُ وَلا حَتَّى بِالسَّلاسِلِ.

4 b ecause he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

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

5 C onstantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones.

وَكانَ لَيلاً وَنَهاراً بَينَ القُبُورِ وَفِي التِّلالِ، يُجَرِّحُ نَفسَهُ بِالحِجارَةِ وَيَصرُخُ.

6 S eeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him;

وَلَكِنْ عِندَما رَأى يَسُوعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، رَكَضَ نَحوَهُ وَسَجَدَ أمامَهُ،

7 a nd shouting with a loud voice, he said, “ What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”

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

8 F or He had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

قالَ هَذا لِأنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ قَدْ أمَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ بِأنْ يَخرُجَ.

9 A nd He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

فَسَألَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ما اسْمُكَ؟» فَأجابَهُ: «اسْمِي جَيشٌ لِأنَّ عَدَدَنا كَبِيرٌ.»

10 A nd he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

وَتَوَسَّلَ إلَيهِ بِإلحاحٍ كَي لا يُرسِلَهُمْ خارِجَ المِنطَقَةِ.

11 N ow there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain.

وَكانَ هُناكَ قَطِيعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الخَنازِيرِ يَرعَى قُرْبَ حافَّةِ الجَبَلِ فِي تِلْكَ المِنطَقَةِ.

12 T he demons implored Him, saying, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.”

فَتَوَسَّلَتِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ إلَيهِ وَقالَتْ: «أرسِلْنا إلَى هَذِهِ الخَنازِيرِ لِنَدخُلَ فِيها.»

13 J esus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

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

14 T heir herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.

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

15 T hey came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the “ legion”; and they became frightened.

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

16 T hose who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine.

وَأخبَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ رَأَوْا عَنْ ما حَدَثَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ المَسكُونِ بِالأرواحِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَعَنِ الخَنازِيرِ.

17 A nd they began to implore Him to leave their region.

فَأخَذَ النّاسُ يَرْجُونَ يَسُوعَ أنْ يَرحَلَ عَنْ مِنطَقَتِهِمْ.

18 A s He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.

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

19 A nd He did not let him, but He said to him, “ Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”

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

20 A nd he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed. Miracles and Healing

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

21 W hen Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore.

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

22 O ne of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet

فَجاءَ أحَدُ المَسؤولينَ عَنِ المَجمَعِ وَاسْمُهُ يايرُسَ. وَلَمّا رَأى يَسوعَ ارتَمَى عِنْدَ قَدَمَيهِ،

23 a nd implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.”

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

24 A nd He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

فَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ. وَكانَ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ يَتَزاحَمونَ حَولَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ جانِبٍ.

25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ امْرأةٌ تَنزِفُ مُنذُ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

26 a nd had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse—

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

27 a fter hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

وَلَمّا سَمِعَتْ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، جاءَتْ مِنْ وَرائِهِ، وَلَمَسَتْ عَباءَتَهِ.

28 F or she thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.”

لِأنَّها قالَتْ فِي نَفسِها: «إنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ أنْ ألمُسَ وَلَوْ عَباءَتَهُ، فَسَأُشْفَى.»

29 I mmediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

فَشُفِيَتْ مِنْ نَزِيفُها فُوراً، وَأحَسَّتْ فِي جِسْمِها بِأنَّها شُفِيَتْ.

30 I mmediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”

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

31 A nd His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

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

32 A nd He looked around to see the woman who had done this.

أمّا هُوَ فَنَظَرَ حَولَهُ لِيَرَى مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.

33 B ut the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

فَأدرَكَتِ المَرأةُ ما حَدَثَ لَها. فَجاءَتْ مُرتَعِشَةً وَارتَمَتْ أمامَهُ، وَأخبَرَتْهُ بِالحَقِيقَةِ كُلِّها.

34 A nd He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

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

35 W hile He was still speaking, they came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?”

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

36 B ut Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, “ Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”

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

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

وَلَمْ يَسمَحْ لأحَدٍ بِأنْ يُرافِقَهُ سِوَىْ بُطرُسَ وَيَعقُوبَ وَيُوحَنّا أخيْ يَعقُوبَ.

38 T hey came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.

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

39 A nd entering in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”

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

40 T hey began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was.

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

41 T aking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” ).

وَأمسَكَ بِيَدِها وَقالَ لَها: «طالِيثا قُومِي.» أي «يا صَبِيَّةُ، أقولُ لَكِ قُومِي.»

42 I mmediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

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

43 A nd He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.

وَأمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ بِشِدَّةٍ أنْ لا يُخبِرُوا أحَداً بِما حَدَثَ. ثُمَّ طَلَبَ مِنْهُمْ أنْ يُعطُوها شَيئاً لِتَأكُلَهُ.
