Marcos 5
1 E chegaram ao outro lado do mar, à terra dos Gerasenos.
They came to the other side of the sea – the region of the Gerasenes;
2 Assim que [Jesus] saiu do barco, veio das sepulturas ao seu encontro um homem com um espírito imundo,
and, as soon as Jesus had got out of the boat, he met a man coming out of the tombs, who was under the power of a foul spirit,
3 que morava nas sepulturas, e nem mesmo com correntes conseguiam mais prendê-lo;
and who made his home in the tombs. No one had ever been able to secure him, even with a chain;
4 pois muitas vezes fora preso com grilhões e correntes; mas as correntes eram por ele feitas em pedaços, os grilhões eram esmigalhados, e ninguém o conseguia controlar.
for, though he had many times been left secured with fetters and chains, he had snapped the chains and broken the fetters to pieces, and no one could master him.
5 E sempre dia e noite andava gritando pelas sepulturas e pelos montes, e ferindo-se com pedras.
Night and day alike, he was continually shrieking in the tombs and among the hills, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Quando ele viu Jesus de longe, correu e prostrou-se diante dele.
Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed to the ground before him,
7 E gritou em alta voz: Que tenho eu contigo Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Imploro-te por Deus que não me atormentes.
shrieking out in a loud voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? For God’s sake do not torment me!’
8 (Pois [Jesus] havia lhe dito: “Sai deste homem, espírito imundo”.)
For Jesus had said, ‘Come out from the man, you foul spirit.’
9 Então perguntou-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E respondeu: Legião é o meu nome, porque somos muitos.
And he asked him, ‘What is your name?’ ‘My name,’ he said, ‘is Legion, for there are many of us;’
10 E rogava-lhe muito que não os expulsasse daquela terra.
and he begged Jesus again and again not to send them away out of that country.
11 Havia ali perto do monte uma grande manada de porcos pastando.
There was a large herd of pigs close by, feeding on the hillside;
12 E [aqueles demônios] rogaram-lhe, dizendo: Manda-nos para aqueles porcos, para que entremos neles.
and the spirits begged Jesus, ‘Send us into the pigs so that we can take possession of them.’
13 [Jesus] lhes permitiu. Então aqueles espíritos imundos saíram para entrar nos porcos; e a manada lançou-se abaixo no mar; (eram quase dois mil) e afogaram-se no mar.
Jesus gave them leave. They came out, and entered into the pigs; and the herd – about two thousand in number – rushed down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
14 Os que os apascentavam fugiram, e avisaram na cidade e nos campos; e [as pessoas] foram ver o que havia acontecido.
Then the men who tended them ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round; and the people went to see what had happened.
15 Então aproximaram-se de Jesus, e viram o endemoninhado sentado, vestido, e em sã consciência o que tivera a legião; e ficaram apavorados.
When they came to Jesus, they found the possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind – the man who had had the “Legion” in him – and they were awe-struck.
16 E os que haviam visto contaram-lhes o que acontecera ao endemoninhado, e sobre os porcos.
Then those who had seen it related to them all that had happened to the possessed man, as well as about the pigs;
17 Então começaram a rogar-lhe que saísse do território deles.
so they began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18 Quando [Jesus] entrava no barco, o que fora endemoninhado rogou-lhe que estivesse com ele.
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the possessed man begged him to let him stay with him.
19 [Jesus ] se recusou, porém lhe disse: Vai para a tua casa, aos teus, e anuncia-lhes quão grandes coisas o Senhor fez contigo, e [como] teve misericórdia de ti.
But Jesus refused. ‘Go back to your home, to your own people,’ he said, ‘and tell them of all that the Lord has done for you, and how he took pity on you.’
20 Então ele foi embora, e começou a anunciar em Decápolis quão grandes coisas Jesus havia feito com ele; e todos se admiravam.
So the man went, and began to proclaim in the district of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
21 Depois de Jesus passar outra vez num barco para o outro lado, uma grande multidão se ajuntou a ele; e ele ficou junto ao mar.
By the time Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the opposite shore, a great number of people had gathered to meet him, and were standing by the sea.
22 E veio um dos líderes de sinagoga, por nome Jairo; e quando o viu, prostrou-se aos seus pés.
One of the leaders of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came and, as soon as he saw Jesus, threw himself at his feet and begged him repeatedly,
23 E implorava-lhe muito, dizendo: Minha filhinha está a ponto de morrer. [Rogo-te] que venhas pôr as mãos sobre ela, para que seja curada, e viva.
saying, ‘My little daughter is at death’s door. Please come and place your hands on her so that she may recover and live.’
24 [Jesus] foi com ele. Uma grande multidão o seguia, e o apertavam.
So Jesus went with him. A great number of people followed Jesus, and kept pressing round him.
25 E havia uma mulher, que tinha um fluxo de sangue havia doze anos,
Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,
26 que tinha sofrido muito por meio de muitos médicos, e gastado tudo quanto possuía, e nada havia lhe dado bom resultado; ao invés disso, piorava.
and undergone much at the hands of many doctors, (spending all she had without obtaining any relief, but, on the contrary, growing worse),
27 Quando ela ouviu falar de Jesus, veio entre a multidão por detrás, e tocou a roupa dele.
heard about Jesus, came behind in the crowd, and touched his cloak.
28 Pois dizia: Se tão somente tocar as suas roupas, serei curada.
‘If I can only touch his clothes,’ she said, ‘I will get well!’
29 E imediatamente a fonte do seu sangue parou se secou; e sentiu no corpo que já havia sido curada daquele flagelo.
At once her bleeding stopped, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her affliction.
30 Jesus logo notou em si o poder que dele havia saído. Então virou-se na multidão, e perguntou: Quem tocou as minhas roupas?
Jesus at once became aware of the power that had gone out from him, and, turning round in the crowd, he said, ‘Who touched my clothes?’
31 E seus discípulos lhe disseram: Eis que a multidão te aperta, e perguntas: Quem me tocou?
‘You see the people pressing round you,’ exclaimed his disciples, ‘and yet you say “Who touched me?”’
32 E ele olhava em redor, para ver quem havia lhe feito isso.
But Jesus looked about to see who had done it.
33 Então a mulher temendo, e tremendo, sabendo o que lhe havia sido feito, veio, prostrou-se diante dele, e disse-lhe toda a verdade.
Then the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 E ele lhe disse: Filha, a tua fé te salvou. Vai em paz, e estejas curada deste teu flagelo.
‘Daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you; be free from your affliction.’
35 Estando ele ainda falando, alguns vieram [da casa] do líder de sinagoga, e disseram: A tua filha já morreu; por que ainda estás incomodando o Mestre?
Before he had finished speaking, some people from the house of the synagogue leader came and said, ‘Your daughter is dead! Why should you trouble the teacher further?’
36 Mas Jesus, não dando atenção a essa palavra que havia sido falada, disse ao líder de sinagoga: Não temas; crê somente.
But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the synagogue leader, ‘Do not be afraid; only have faith.’
37 E não permitiu que ninguém o seguisse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago, e João irmão de Tiago.
And he allowed no one to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 Eles chegaram à casa do líder de sinagoga, e [Jesus] viu o alvoroço, os que choravam muito e pranteavam.
Presently they reached the leader’s house, where Jesus saw a scene of confusion – people weeping and wailing incessantly.
39 E ao entrar, disse-lhes: Por que fazeis alvoroço e chorais? A menina não morreu, mas está dormindo.
‘Why this confusion and weeping?’ he said on entering. ‘The little child is not dead; she is asleep.’
40 E riram dele. Porém ele, depois de pôr todos fora, tomou consigo o pai e a mãe da menina, e os que estavam com ele. Em seguida, entrou onde a menina estava.
They began to laugh at him; but he sent them all out, and then, with the child’s father and mother and his companions, went into the room where she was lying.
41 Ele pegou a mão da menina, e lhe disse: “Talita cumi”, (que significa: “Menina, eu te digo, levanta-te”).
Taking her hand, Jesus said to her, ‘Talitha, koum!’ – which means “little girl, I am speaking to you – Rise!”
42 E logo a menina se levantou e andou, pois já tinha doze anos de idade. E logo ficaram grandemente espantados.
The little girl stood up at once, and began to walk about; for she was twelve years old. And, as soon as they saw it, they were overwhelmed with amazement;
43 E mandou-lhes muito que ninguém o soubesse; e mandou que dessem a ela de comer.
but Jesus repeatedly cautioned them not to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.
