1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

1 καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν γερασηνῶν.

2 And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

2 καὶ ἐξελθόντος αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου εὐθὺς ὑπήντησεν αὐτῶ ἐκ τῶν μνημείων ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ,

3 He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

3 ὃς τὴν κατοίκησιν εἶχεν ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν· καὶ οὐδὲ ἁλύσει οὐκέτι οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο αὐτὸν δῆσαι,

4 Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.

4 διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν πολλάκις πέδαις καὶ ἁλύσεσιν δεδέσθαι καὶ διεσπάσθαι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὰς ἁλύσεις καὶ τὰς πέδας συντετρῖφθαι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἴσχυεν αὐτὸν δαμάσαι·

5 And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

5 καὶ διὰ παντὸς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ἦν κράζων καὶ κατακόπτων ἑαυτὸν λίθοις.

6 And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;

6 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν ἰησοῦν ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔδραμεν καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῶ,

7 And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

7 καὶ κράξας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγει, τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, ἰησοῦ υἱὲ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου; ὁρκίζω σε τὸν θεόν, μή με βασανίσῃς.

8 For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

8 ἔλεγεν γὰρ αὐτῶ, ἔξελθε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

Ark.au Illustrated Bible - Mark 5:8 - For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

9 And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

9 καὶ ἐπηρώτα αὐτόν, τί ὄνομά σοι; καὶ λέγει αὐτῶ, λεγιὼν ὄνομά μοι, ὅτι πολλοί ἐσμεν.

10 And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.

10 καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν πολλὰ ἵνα μὴ αὐτὰ ἀποστείλῃ ἔξω τῆς χώρας.

11 Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

11 ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πρὸς τῶ ὄρει ἀγέλη χοίρων μεγάλη βοσκομένη·

12 And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.

12 καὶ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, πέμψον ἡμᾶς εἰς τοὺς χοίρους, ἵνα εἰς αὐτοὺς εἰσέλθωμεν.

13 And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

13 καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐξελθόντα τὰ πνεύματα τὰ ἀκάθαρτα εἰσῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους, καὶ ὥρμησεν ἡ ἀγέλη κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ὡς δισχίλιοι, καὶ ἐπνίγοντο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ.

Ark.au Illustrated Bible - Mark 5:13 - And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

14 And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

14 καὶ οἱ βόσκοντες αὐτοὺς ἔφυγον καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς· καὶ ἦλθον ἰδεῖν τί ἐστιν τὸ γεγονός.

15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

15 καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς τὸν ἰησοῦν, καὶ θεωροῦσιν τὸν δαιμονιζόμενον καθήμενον ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα, τὸν ἐσχηκότα τὸν λεγιῶνα, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.

16 And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

16 καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτοῖς οἱ ἰδόντες πῶς ἐγένετο τῶ δαιμονιζομένῳ καὶ περὶ τῶν χοίρων.

17 And they made a request to him to go out of their country.

17 καὶ ἤρξαντο παρακαλεῖν αὐτὸν ἀπελθεῖν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.

18 And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

18 καὶ ἐμβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πλοῖον παρεκάλει αὐτὸν ὁ δαιμονισθεὶς ἵνα μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ᾖ.

19 And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

19 καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ λέγει αὐτῶ, ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου πρὸς τοὺς σούς, καὶ ἀπάγγειλον αὐτοῖς ὅσα ὁ κύριός σοι πεποίηκεν καὶ ἠλέησέν σε.

20 And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.

20 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καὶ ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν ἐν τῇ δεκαπόλει ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, καὶ πάντες ἐθαύμαζον.

21 And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

21 καὶ διαπεράσαντος τοῦ ἰησοῦ [ἐν τῶ πλοίῳ] πάλιν εἰς τὸ πέραν συνήχθη ὄχλος πολὺς ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, καὶ ἦν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν.

22 And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,

22 καὶ ἔρχεται εἷς τῶν ἀρχισυναγώγων, ὀνόματι ἰάϊρος, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν πίπτει πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ

23 And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

23 καὶ παρακαλεῖ αὐτὸν πολλὰ λέγων ὅτι τὸ θυγάτριόν μου ἐσχάτως ἔχει, ἵνα ἐλθὼν ἐπιθῇς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῇ ἵνα σωθῇ καὶ ζήσῃ.

24 And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.

24 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῶ ὄχλος πολύς, καὶ συνέθλιβον αὐτόν.

25 And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

25 καὶ γυνὴ οὗσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος δώδεκα ἔτη

26 And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,

26 καὶ πολλὰ παθοῦσα ὑπὸ πολλῶν ἰατρῶν καὶ δαπανήσασα τὰ παρ᾽ αὐτῆς πάντα καὶ μηδὲν ὠφεληθεῖσα ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εἰς τὸ χεῖρον ἐλθοῦσα,

27 When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

27 ἀκούσασα περὶ τοῦ ἰησοῦ, ἐλθοῦσα ἐν τῶ ὄχλῳ ὄπισθεν ἥψατο τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ·

28 For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

28 ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὅτι ἐὰν ἅψωμαι κἂν τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ σωθήσομαι.

29 And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.

29 καὶ εὐθὺς ἐξηράνθη ἡ πηγὴ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔγνω τῶ σώματι ὅτι ἴαται ἀπὸ τῆς μάστιγος.

30 And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

30 καὶ εὐθὺς ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐπιγνοὺς ἐν ἑαυτῶ τὴν ἐξ αὐτοῦ δύναμιν ἐξελθοῦσαν ἐπιστραφεὶς ἐν τῶ ὄχλῳ ἔλεγεν, τίς μου ἥψατο τῶν ἱματίων;

31 And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

31 καὶ ἔλεγον αὐτῶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, βλέπεις τὸν ὄχλον συνθλίβοντά σε, καὶ λέγεις, τίς μου ἥψατο;

32 And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,

32 καὶ περιεβλέπετο ἰδεῖν τὴν τοῦτο ποιήσασαν.

33 The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

33 ἡ δὲ γυνὴ φοβηθεῖσα καὶ τρέμουσα, εἰδυῖα ὃ γέγονεν αὐτῇ, ἦλθεν καὶ προσέπεσεν αὐτῶ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν.

34 And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.

34 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, θυγάτηρ, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε· ὕπαγε εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ ἴσθι ὑγιὴς ἀπὸ τῆς μάστιγός σου.

35 And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

35 ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἔρχονται ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου λέγοντες ὅτι ἡ θυγάτηρ σου ἀπέθανεν· τί ἔτι σκύλλεις τὸν διδάσκαλον;

36 But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.

36 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς παρακούσας τὸν λόγον λαλούμενον λέγει τῶ ἀρχισυναγώγῳ, μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.

37 And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

37 καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν οὐδένα μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ συνακολουθῆσαι εἰ μὴ τὸν πέτρον καὶ ἰάκωβον καὶ ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἰακώβου.

38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

38 καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου, καὶ θεωρεῖ θόρυβον καὶ κλαίοντας καὶ ἀλαλάζοντας πολλά,

39 And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.

39 καὶ εἰσελθὼν λέγει αὐτοῖς, τί θορυβεῖσθε καὶ κλαίετε; τὸ παιδίον οὐκ ἀπέθανεν ἀλλὰ καθεύδει.

40 And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

40 καὶ κατεγέλων αὐτοῦ. αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκβαλὼν πάντας παραλαμβάνει τὸν πατέρα τοῦ παιδίου καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ τοὺς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσπορεύεται ὅπου ἦν τὸ παιδίον·

41 And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

41 καὶ κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ παιδίου λέγει αὐτῇ, ταλιθα κουμ, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον τὸ κοράσιον, σοὶ λέγω, ἔγειρε.

42 And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.

42 καὶ εὐθὺς ἀνέστη τὸ κοράσιον καὶ περιεπάτει, ἦν γὰρ ἐτῶν δώδεκα. καὶ ἐξέστησαν [εὐθὺς] ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ.

43 And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

43 καὶ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς πολλὰ ἵνα μηδεὶς γνοῖ τοῦτο, καὶ εἶπεν δοθῆναι αὐτῇ φαγεῖν.
