Mako 5
1 Vakasvika mhiri kwegungwa, kunyika yeVaGadharini.
Jesus and his disciples arrived on the [east] side of Lake [Galilee. They landed near] where the Gerasene [people lived].
2 Zvino wakati abuda muchikepe, pakarepo munhu akamuchingamidza achibva kumarinda ane mweya wetsvina,
There was a man in that region whom evil spirits controlled.
3 uyo wakange ane ugaro kumarinda, uye kwakange kusina wakange achigona kumusunga kunyange nemaketani,
[Because that man was violent and people were afraid of him], they had tied him up many times. [As he grew more violent], no one was able to tie him up any longer, not even with chains,
4 nokuti kazhinji waisungwa nezvisungo zvemakumbo nemaketani, asi maketani aigurwa nepakati naye, nezvisungo zvemakumbo zvaigurwa kuita zvidimbu; uye kwakange kusina waigona kumupingudza.
because the chains would be broken by him {he would break the chains} whenever he was bound {they bound him} with them. The iron shackles would also be smashed by him {He would also smash the iron shackles} whenever they were fastened {they fastened them} [on his feet].
5 Zvino nguva dzese, usiku nemasikati, waiva mumakomo nemumarinda achidanidzira, achizvicheka nemabwe.
He lived in one of the caves [where they bury dead people]. During both night and day he would scream among the caves and in the hills. He would also cut himself with [sharp] stones. [That day] he came out of the caves.
6 Zvino wakati achiona Jesu ari kure, akamhanya ndokumunamata;
As Jesus [and his disciples got] out of the boat, that man saw Jesus from a distance. He immediately ran to Jesus, and then he knelt before him.
7 akadanidzira nenzwi guru akati: Ndinei nemwi Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari Wekumusoro-soro? Ndinokupikirai naMwari, murege kundirwadzisa.
Jesus said to the evil spirit, “You evil spirit, come out of this man!” [But the demon did not leave quickly]. It shouted very loudly, “Jesus, I [know that you are the] (Son of/man who is also) God, so (we have nothing in common./what do we have in common?) [IDM, RHQ] [So leave me alone] I ask you to promise, knowing God is listening, that you will not torture me [now]!”
8 Nokuti wakati kwaari: Buda mumunhu, mweya wetsvina.
9 Ndokumubvunza akati: Zita rako ndiani? Akapindura achiti: Zita rangu rinonzi Regiyoni, nokuti tiri vazhinji.
[So, in order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob because there are many of us [evil spirits in this man].”
10 Akamukumbirisa zvikuru kuti arege kuvaendesa kunze kwenyika.
Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.
11 Zvino kwakange kuripo pedo nemakomo boka guru renguruve dzichifura.
[At the same time], a large herd of pigs was (grazing/rooting for food) nearby on the hillside.
12 Nemadhimoni ese akamukumbira zvikuru achiti: Titumirei kunguruve kuti tipinde madziri.
So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”
13 Pakarepo Jesu akaatendera. Mweya yetsvina ikabuda ikapinda munguruve; boka rikapitirikira kumawere kuenda kugungwa, dzinenge dzaiva zvuru zviviri, dzikabitirirwa mugungwa.
He permitted them [to do that]. So the evil spirits left the man and entered the pigs. The herd, [which numbered] about 2,000, rushed down the cliff into the lake, and drowned in the lake.
14 Zvino vaifudza nguruve vakatiza, vakanoreva muguta neparuwa. Vakabuda kuzoona kuti chii chainge chaitwa.
The men who had been tending the pigs ran and reported in the town and the countryside [what had happened. Many people] went to see what had happened.
15 Vakasvika kuna Jesu, vakaona wakange ane madhimoni, iye waiva neRegiyoni agere, akapfeka ari munhu kwaye; vakatya.
They came to [the place where] Jesus [was]. Then they saw the man whom evil spirits had [previously] controlled. He was sitting there with clothes on and mentally sound. [As a result], they became afraid [because they thought that Jesus might destroy more of their property]. (OR, [they realized that Jesus must be very powerful].)
16 Uye avo vakange vazviona, vakavarondedzera kuti zvakaitika sei kune wakange ane madhimoni nepamusoro penguruve.
The people who had seen what had happened described what had happened to the man whom the evil spirits [previously] controlled. They also described [what had happened to] the pigs.
17 Vakatanga kumukumbirisa kuti abve mudunhu mavo.
Then the people pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
18 Zvino wakati achipinda muchikepe, iye waiva nemadhimoni akamukumbirisa kuti ave naye.
As Jesus got in the boat [in order to leave], the man whom the evil spirits [previously] controlled begged Jesus, “[Please let me] go with you!”
19 Asi Jesu haana kumutendera, asi wakati kwaari: Enda kumba kwako, kune vekwako, unovaudza kuti zvikuru sei Ishe zvaakuitira, nekukuitira tsitsi.
But Jesus did not let him [go with him]. On the contrary, he said to him, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord [God] has done for you, and tell them how [God] was kind to you.”
20 Akabva ndokuenda akatanga kuparidza muDhekapori kukura kwezvinhu Jesu zvaakamuitira; vese vakashamisika.
So the man left [and traveled around] the Ten Towns [district]. He told people how much Jesus had done for him. All the people [who heard what the man said] were amazed.
21 Jesu wakati ayambukazve nechikepe kune rimwe divi, chaunga chikuru chikaunganira kwaari, uye wakange ava parutivi rwegungwa.
Jesus [and his disciples] went in a boat back around Lake [Galilee] to where they were before. When they arrived at the shore of the lake, a large crowd gathered around Jesus.
22 Zvino tarira, kwakasvika umwe wevakuru vesinagoge, wainzi Jairosi; zvino wakati amuona, akawira patsoka dzake.
One of the men who presided over a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place), whose name was Jairus, came there. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself at his feet.
23 Akamukumbirisa zvikuru achiti: Mukunda wangu mudiki wotandadza, dai mauya muise maoko pamusoro pake kuti aponeswe uye achararama.
Then he pleaded with Jesus earnestly, “My twelve-year old daughter is [sick and] nearly dead! [Please] come [to my house] and place your hands on her in order that she will be healed {to heal her}, so that she will not die!”
24 Akaenda naye; chaunga chikuru chikamutevera, chikamutsimbirira.
So Jesus [and the disciples] went with him. A large crowd followed [Jesus] and [many] pushed close to him.
25 Zvino umwe mukadzi waiva nekubuda ropa makore gumi nemaviri,
There was a woman [in the crowd] who had vaginal bleeding [EUP] [every day] for twelve years.
26 wakange atambura zvikuru kuvarapi vazhinji, wakange apedza zvese zvaakange anazvo, asina kutongobatsirika, asi pachinhambo cheizvi ainyanyisa,
She had suffered much while many doctors [treated her]. But although she had spent all [her money] to pay the doctors, she had not been helped {they had not helped her}. Instead, she had become worse [EUP].
27 wakati anzwa zvaJesu, akauya nepakati pechaunga neshure, akabata nguvo yake.
After she heard that Jesus [healed people], she came [to where he was and pushed] in the crowd [close] behind Jesus.
28 Nokuti wakati: Kana ndikabata nguvo dzake chete, ndichaponeswa.
She did that because she was thinking, “If I [touch him or] even if I touch his clothes, I will be healed {his power will heal me}.” So she touched Jesus’ clothes.
29 Zvino pakarepo chitubu cheropa rake chikapwa, akanzwa mumuviri kuti waporeswa pachifo.
At once her bleeding stopped. At the same time, she sensed that she had been cured of {that [he] had cured} her illness.
30 Zvino pakarepo Jesu achiziva mukati make kuti simba rabuda maari, akatendeuka pachaunga akati: Ndiani wabata nguvo dzangu?
Jesus [also] immediately sensed that his power had healed someone. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 Vadzidzi vake vakati kwaari: Munoona chaunga chinokutsimbirirai, zvino moti: Ndiani wandibata?
[One of] his disciples replied, “You can see that many people are crowding close to you! [Probably many people touched you]! So (why do you ask ‘Who touched me?’[/We are surprised] that you ask ‘Who touched me?’ [RHQ])”
32 Zvino wakaringa-ringa kuona uyo wakange aita ichi.
But Jesus kept looking around in order to see the one who had done it.
33 Asi mukadzi achitya, nekubvunda, achiziva zvakange zvaitika maari, akauya ndokuwira pamberi pake, ndokumuudza chokwadi chese.
The woman was very afraid and trembling. [She thought that Jesus might be angry because she had violated the law that women who had such a] sickness [should not touch other people. But] she knew [that Jesus had healed her]. So she prostrated herself before him. Then she told him truthfully [about what she had done].
34 Ndokuti kwaari: Mukunda, rutendo rwako rwakuponesa, enda nerugare, poreswa pachifo chako.
He said to her, “(Ma’am/Young lady), because you have believed [that I could heal you], I have healed you. You may go home with peace [in your heart/inner being], [because I promise that] you will not be sick [this way any more].”
35 Wakati achataura, kwakasvika vamwe vemukuru wesinagoge vakati: Mukunda wenyu wafa, muchiri kutambudzirei Mudzidzisi?
While Jesus was still speaking [to that woman], some people arrived who had come from Jairus’ house. They said [to Jairus], “Your daughter has [now] died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
36 Pakarepo Jesu achinzwa shoko rakataurwa akati kumukuru wesinagoge: Usatya, tenda chete.
But when Jesus heard what these men said, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that the situation is hopeless! Just keep believing [that she will live]!”
37 Akasatendera munhu kumutevera, kunze kwaPetro, naJakobho, naJohwani munin'ina waJakobho.
Then he allowed only [his three closest disciples], Peter, James, and John, to go with him [to Jairus’ house]. He did not allow any other people to go with him. After they arrived near the house, Jesus saw that the people there were in turmoil. They were weeping and wailing [DOU] loudly.
38 Zvino wakasvika mumba memukuru wesinagoge, akaona mhere-mhere nevaichema nekurira zvikuru.
39 Zvino wakati apinda akati kwavari: Munoitirei mhere-mhere muchichema? Mwana haana kufa, asi arere.
He entered the house and then he said to them, knowing that [he was going to cause her to live again], “(Do not make such a disturbance!/Why are you making such a disturbance?) [RHQ] Stop crying, for the child is not dead! On the contrary, she is [only] sleeping [HYP, EUP]!”
40 Vakamuseka. Asi iye wakati avabudisa vese panze, akatora baba vemwana namai nevakange vanaye, akapinda makange murere mwana.
The people laughed at him, [because they knew that she was dead]. But he sent all the other people outside the house. Then he took the child’s father and mother and the [three disciples] who were with him. He went into [the room] where the child was [lying].
41 Akabata ruoko rwemwana, akati kwaari: "Tarita kumi"; ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa: Musikana mudiki, ndinoti kwauri, muka.
He took hold of the child’s hand and said to her [in her own language], “Talitha, Koum!” That means, “Little girl, get up!”
42 Pakarepo musikana wakasimuka, akafamba; nokuti waiva wemakore gumi nemaviri; vakashamisika nekushamisika kukuru.
At once the girl got up and walked around. ([It was not surprising that she could walk], because she was twelve years old.) [When this happened, all who were present] were very astonished.
43 Akavaraira zvikuru kuti kusava nemunhu anoziva izvi; akati apiwe kudya.
Jesus ordered them strictly, “Do not tell anyone about [what I have done]!” Afterwards he told them that something to eat should be brought to the girl {that they should bring the girl something to eat}.
