5 Ndipo anawoloka nyanja napita ku dera la Gerasa. ² Yesu atatuluka mʼbwato, munthu amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa anachoka ku manda ndi kukumana naye. ³ Munthuyu amakhala ku manda, ndipo panalibe amene akanatha kumumanganso ngakhale ndi unyolo. ⁴ Pakuti nthawi zambiri akamumanga manja ndi miyendo amadula maunyolo ndi kudula zitsulo zimene zinali mʼmapazi ake. Panalibe amene anali ndi mphamvu yoti ndi kumugonjetsa. ⁵ Usana ndi usiku ankakhala ku manda ndi kumapiri, akulira ndi kudzicheka ndi miyala.

⁶ Ataona Yesu ali patali, anathamanga nagwa pa mawondo ake pamaso pake. ⁷ Iye anafuwula kwambiri nati, “Mukufuna muchite nane chiyani, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba? Lumbirani kwa Mulungu kuti simundizunza!” ⁸ Pakuti Yesu anati kwa iye, “Tuluka mwa munthuyu, iwe mzimu woyipa!”

⁹ Ndipo Yesu anamufunsa iye, “Dzina lako ndani?”

Iye anayankha kuti, “Dzina langa ndine Legiyo, pakuti tilipo ambiri.” ¹⁰ Ndipo anamupempha Yesu mobwerezabwereza kuti asazitulutse mʼderalo.

¹¹ Gulu lalikulu la nkhumba limadya mʼmbali mwa phiri limene linali pafupi. ¹² Ziwandazo zinapempha Yesu kuti, “Titumizeni pakati pa nkhumbazo; ndipo mutilole tilowe mwa izo.” ¹³ Iye anazipatsa chilolezo, ndipo mizimu yoyipayo inatuluka ndi kukalowa mu nkhumbazo. Gulu la nkhumba, zokwana pafupifupi 2,000 zinathamanga kutsetserekera ku nyanja ndipo zinamira.

¹⁴ Omwe amaweta nkhumbazo anathawa ndi kukawuza anthu za izi mu mzinda ndi ku madera a ku midzi, ndipo anthu anapita kukaona zomwe zinachitika. ¹⁵ Atafika kwa Yesu, anaona munthu amene anagwidwa ndi ziwanda zambiri uja atakhala pansi pomwepo, atavala, ndipo ali bwinobwino. Iwo anachita mantha. ¹⁶ Amene anaona zimenezi anawuza anthu zomwe zinachitika kwa munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwandayo ndipo anawawuzanso za nkhumbazo. ¹⁷ Ndipo anthu anayamba kumupempha Yesu kuti achoke mʼdera lawo.

¹⁸ Yesu akulowa mʼbwato, munthu amene anagwidwa ndi ziwanda uja anamupempha kuti apite nawo. ¹⁹ Yesu sanamulole, koma anati, “Pita kwanu ku banja lako ndipo ukawawuze zimene Ambuye wakuchitira, ndi chifundo chimene wakuchitira.” ²⁰ Pomwepo munthuyo anapita nayamba kuwuza anthu a ku Dekapoli zinthu zimene Yesu anamuchitira. Ndipo anthu onse anadabwa.
