Mark 5
Lexham English Bible
A Demon-possessed Gerasene Healed
5 And they came to the other side of the sea,[a] to the region of the Gerasenes.[b] 2 And as[c] he was getting out of the boat, immediately from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit went to meet him, 3 who lived[d] among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him any longer, not even with a chain, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the shackles had been shattered. And no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 And during every night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he[e] saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice he said, “What have I to do with you[f], Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me!” 8 (For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”) 9 And he was asking him “What is your name?”[g] And he said to him, “My name is Legion, because we are many.” 10 And he was imploring him many times that he would not send them out of the region. 11 Now a large herd of pigs was there at the hill feeding, 12 and they implored him, saying, “Send us to the pigs so that we may enter into them.” 13 And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out and[h] entered into the pigs, and the herd—about two thousand—rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea. 14 And their herdsmen fled and reported it[i] in the town and in the countryside, and they came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there clothed and in his right mind—the one who had had the legion—and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it[j] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs. 17 And they began to urge him to depart from their region. 18 And as[k] he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed began to implore[l] him that he could go with him. 19 And he did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your home to your people and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and that he has had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him, and they were all astonished.
A Woman Healed and a Daughter Raised
21 And after[m] Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea. 22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue came—Jairus by name—and when he[n] saw him, he fell down at his feet. 23 And he was imploring him many times, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death![o] Come, lay your[p] hands on her, so that she will get well and will live.” 24 And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.
25 And there was a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages[q] twelve years. 26 And she had endured many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had[r] and had received no help at all, but instead became worse.[s] 27 When she[t] heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind him and[u] touched his cloak, 28 for she was saying, “If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!” 29 And immediately her hemorrhage stopped[v] and she realized in her[w] body that she was healed of her[x] suffering. 30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd and[y] said, “Who touched my clothing?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he was looking around to see the one who had done this. 33 So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 But he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering.”
35 While[z] he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house[aa] saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?” 36 But Jesus, ignoring[ab] what was said,[ac] told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!” 37 And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James. 38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he[ad] entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.” 40 And they began laughing[ae] at him. But he sent them all out and[af] took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was. 41 And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”), 42 and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around[ag] (for she was twelve years old). And immediately they were utterly and completely astonished.[ah] 43 And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something[ai] to eat.

Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Jezi delivre yon nonm anba move lespri
(Mat 8:28-34; Lik 8:26-39)
5 Jezi ak disip li yo ale lòt bò lak la nan peyi Jerazenyen[a] yo. 2 Jezi soti nan bato a. Te gen kèk kavo toupre, kote yo te konn antere mò yo. Kou Jezi sòti nan bato a, yon nonm ki te gen yon move lespri sou li te soti nan tonm yo vin jwenn Jezi. 3 Nonm nan te rete nan tonm yo, okenn moun pa t ka mare l ankò, pa menm ak chenn. 4 Souvan yo te anchene pye l ak men l, men li kase chenn yo. Pa t gen yon moun ki te gen fòs ase pou metrize l.[b] 5 Lajounen kou lannuit nonm nan te nan tonb yo epi sou mòn yo ap rele byen fò epi l ap blese kò l ak wòch.
6 Pandan Jezi te byen lwen ap vini, nonm lan wè li. Li kouri vin sou Jezi epi li mete ajenou devan l. 7-8 Jezi te kòmanse ap di: “Espri enpi, soti nan nonm sa a.” Lè sa a, li kriye byen fò epi li di: “Ki pwoblèm ou gen avè m, Jezi, Pitit Bondye ki pi wo nan syèl la? Tanpri souple, pwomèt mwen, o non de Dye, ou p ap toumante m!”
9 Jezi mande nonm nan: “Kijan ou rele?”
Nonm lan di li: “Mwen rele Lejyon,[c] paske nou anpil.” 10 Movèzespri yo nan tèt nonm lan t ap soupriye Jezi anpil pou l pa t mete yo deyò nan zòn sa a.
11 Toupre a, te gen yon twoupo kochon ki t ap manje sou yon ti mòn. 12 Movèzespri yo di Jezi: “Voye nou sou kochon sa yo pito. Kite nou antre nan yo.” 13 Jezi pèmèt yo fè sa. Movèzespri yo soti sou nonm nan, yo antre sou kochon yo. Kochon yo kouri al lage kò yo nan falèz la. Y al nwaye tèt yo nan lak la anba. Yo te anviwon 2,000 konsa.
14 Moun ki t ap gade kochon yo pran kouri al gaye nouvèl la nan lavil la ak nan tout zòn andeyò yo. Pèp la te vin gade sa k te rive. 15 Yo vin kote Jezi epi yo wè nonm ki te ranpli ak demon an. Li te chita byen pwòp epi li te gen rad sou li. Li te gen tout bon lespri l sou li. Lè moun yo wè sa, yo te pè anpil. 16 Moun sa yo ki te wè aksyon an eksplike lòt moun sa ki te rive nonm ki te gen demon sou li a. Yo rakonte tou sa ki rive kochon yo. 17 Alò moun nan zòn te kòmanse mande Jezi pou li kite zòn nan.
18 Pandan Jezi ta pral monte nan bato a, nonm ki te gen demon sou li a di Jezi: “Èske m kapab akonpanye w?” 19 Men Jezi pa t kite l fè sa, Jezi di li: “Retounen lakay moun pa w yo, di yo tout sa Bondye fè pou ou, di yo kijan Bondye gen mizerikòd pou ou.”
20 Konsa nonm nan ale, epi li kòmanse rakonte nan tout zòn yo rele dis vil yo sa Jezi fè pou li. Tout moun ki te tande l te sezi.
Jezi resisite yon jèn fi epi li geri yon madam
(Mat 9:18-26; Lik 8:40-56)
21 Jezi te monte nan bato a, li retounen lòt bò lak la. Yon gwo foul moun te vin rasanble devan li bò lak la. 22 Yon lidè nan sinagòg la yo rele Jayiris vin kote Jezi. Lè li wè Jezi, li tonbe nan pye l. 23 Li di Jezi avèk anpil respè: “Pitit fi mwen an ap mouri. Silvouplè vini lakay mwen, poze men sou li, kon sa li va geri, li va viv.”
24 Se kon sa Jezi ale avèk Jayiris. Yon gwo foul moun t ap swiv li; moun yo t ap pouse youn lòt.
25 Nan mitan foul la te gen yon madanm ki soufri ak yon emoraji depi douzan. 26 Doktè yo te fèl soufri anpil. Li te depanse tou sa li te posede. Poutan sante l pa t vin miyò, okontrè se pi mal li te vin pi mal.
27 Lè li te tande pale de Jezi, li pase pa dèyè epi li touche rad Jezi, 28 paske li t ap di nan kè l: “Si sèlman m ka touche ke rad li, m ap geri!” 29 E la pou la, emoraji a rete, epi li santi nan kò li maladi a geri. 30 Nan menm moman an, Jezi santi yon puisans ki sòti nan li. Li vire gade foul la epi li di: “Ki moun ki manyen rad mwen an?”
31 Disip yo di li: “Ou wè tout foul moun sa ap pouse epi ou ap mande ki moun ki manyen rad mwen?”
32 Men Jezi kontinye ap gade pou wè ki moun ki te manyen li. 33 Madanm nan konnen byen sa ki te rive l. Li vini tou ap tranble tèlman li te pè. 34 Apre sa Jezi di li: “Pitit fi mwen, ou geri paske ou kwè. Ale ak kè poze. Ou libere de tout maladi w yo.”
35 Pandan Jezi t ap pale toujou, gen kèk moun ki soti lakay Jayiris ki chèf sinagòg la, yo vin di Jayiris konsa: “Ti fi a gentan mouri. Ou pa bezwen twouble mèt la ankò.”
36 Men Jezi pa t fè ka de sa nonm nan te di, epi li di Jayiris: “Ou pa bezwen pè. Kwè sèlman.”
37 Jezi kite sèlman Pyè, Jak ak Jan, frè Jak la, swiv li. 38 Yo ale lakay lidè sinagòg la. Lè yo rive, Jezi wè tout bri moun yo t ap fè, yo t ap kriye byen fò epi yo t ap plenn. 39 Li antre epi li di yo: “Poukisa tout bri sa yo? Timoun nan pa mouri, se dòmi l ap dòmi.” 40 Moun ki te la yo pete ri Jezi.
Li mete tout moun deyò, li pran papa timoun nan ak manman l ak disip li yo epi yo al nan chanm kote timoun nan te ye a. 41 Jezi pran men timoun nan epi li di li: “Talita koum” ki vle di: “Ti fi, mwen di ou leve kanpe!” 42 La menm ti fi a leve kanpe epi li kòmanse mache toupatou. Li te gen douzan. Se pa de sezi moun yo te sezi. 43 Jezi te ba yo lòd sevè pou pèsonn pa t rive konnen sa k te pase. Apre sa, li di yo pou yo bay ti fi a manje.

Mark 5
Revised Standard Version
Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac
5 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Ger′asenes.[a] 2 And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him any more, even with a chain; 4 for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the fetters he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out, and bruising himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him; 7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” 8 For he had said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And Jesus[b] asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; 12 and they begged him, “Send us to the swine, let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.
14 The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine. 17 And they began to beg Jesus[c] to depart from their neighborhood. 18 And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 But he refused, and said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decap′olis how much Jesus had done for him; and all men marveled.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea. 22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja′irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, 23 and besought him, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live.” 24 And he went with him.
And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well.” 29 And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”
35 While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” 36 But ignoring[d] what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38 When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Tal′itha cu′mi”; which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
