A ka whiti ratou ki tawahi o te moana, ki te whenua o nga kararini.

Na, mahuta kau i te kaipuke, ka tutaki ki a ia tetahi tangata i puta mai i nga urupa, he wairua poke tona,

Kei nga urupa nei tona nohoanga; a, ahakoa he mekameka, hore rawa ia i taea e tetahi tangata te here.

He maha hoki ona herenga ki nga here waewae, ki nga mekameka, heoi motumotuhia ana e ia nga mekameka, mongomonga noa ano nga here waewae: kihai tetahi tangata i kaha ki te whakamarie i a ia.

I nga urupa tonu ia, i nga maunga i te po, i te ao, e hamama ana, e haehae ana i a ia ki te kohatu.

A, i tona kitenga i a Ihu i tawhiti, oma ana ia, koropiko ana ki a ia.

He nui tona reo ki te karanga, ka mea, Ko te aha taku ki a koe, e Ihu, e te Tama a te Atua, a te Runga Rawa? ko te Atua taku whakaoati mou, na kaua ahau e whakamamaetia.

He meatanga hoki nana ki a ia, Puta mai i tenei tangata, e te wairua poke.

Na ka ui ia ki a ia, Ko wai tou ingoa? Ka whakahokia e tera, ka mea, Ko Rihiona toku ingoa: he tokomaha hoki matou.

10 A he nui tana inoi ki a ia kia kaua ratou e tonoa atu i taua whenua.

11 Na kei reira, kei nga maunga, tetahi kahui poaka e kai ana, tona tini.

12 Na ka inoi nga rewera katoa ki a ia, ka mea, Tonoa matou ki nga poaka, kia tomo matou ki a ratou.

13 Na tukua ana ratou e Ihu, Heoi, ko te putanga o nga wairua poke, ka tomo ki nga poaka: ko te tino rerenga o te kahui ra te pari ki te moana, ko te maha kei te rua mano, a paremo iho ki te moana.

14 Na whati ana nga kaiwhangai o nga poaka, a korerotia ana ki te pa, ki aua whenua. Na ka puta ratou a kia kite i taua mea kua meatia nei.

15 A, no to ratou taenga mai ki a Ihu, ka kite i te tangata i nohoia nei e nga rewera, tera i te rihiona, e noho ana, kua oti te whakakakahu, kua tika nga mahara, ka mataku ratou.

16 A ka korerotia ki a ratou, e te hunga i kite, te meatanga ki te tangata i nga rewera, ki nga poaka hoki.

17 Na ka anga ratou ka tohe ki a ia kia haere atu i o ratou wahi.

18 A, no ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka inoi ki a ia te tangata i nga rewera, kia waiho ia hei hoa mona.

19 Otira kihai a Ihu i tuku i a ia, engari i mea atu ki a ia, haere ki tou whare, ki ou whanaunga, ka korero ki a ratou i nga mea nui i meinga e te Ariki ki a koe, i tana atawhaitanga hoki i a koe.

20 Na ka haere ia, ka anga ka korero ki Rekaporihi, i nga mea nunui i mea ai a Ihu ki a ia: a miharo ana nga tangata katoa.

21 A, no te whitinga atu ano o Ihu ki tawahi i runga i te kaipuke, he nui te tangata i huihui ki a ia: i te taha ano ia o te moana.

22 Na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi o nga rangatira o te whare karakia, ko Hairuha tona ingoa; ka kite i a ia, ka takoto ki ona waewae,

23 He nui tana inoi ki a ia, ka mea, Ko taku tamahine nohinohi kei te whakahemohemo: kia haere ake koe ki te whakapa i ou ringa ki a ia kia ora ai; a ka ora.

24 Na haere tahi ana raua; he tini hoki te tangata i aru i a ia, popo tonu ki a ia.

25 Na ko tetahi wahine e mate ana i te pakaruhanga toto, ka tekau ma rua nga tau,

26 He maha nga meatanga a nga rata tokomaha ki a ia, hemo noa ana rawa katoa, te matutu ake tetahi wahi, heoi kake haere ana te mate;

27 A, no tona rongonga ki a Ihu, ka haere i muri i roto i te mano, a pa ana ki tona kakahu.

28 I mea hoki, Ahakoa pa kau ahau ki ona kakahu, ka ora ahau.

29 A mimiti tonu ake te puna o ona toto; no ka mahara a roto o tona tinana kua ora ia i te mate.

30 Na mohio tonu a Ihu kua puta he mana i roto i a ia, ka tahurihuri i roto i te mano, ka mea, Ko wai tenei kua pa nei ki oku kakahu?

31 Ka mea ana akonga ki a ia, E kite ana koe i te mano e popo nei ki a koe, a e mea ana koe, Ko wai tenei kua pa mai ki ahau?

32 Heoi tirotiro ana ia kia kite i te wahine i mea nei i tenei mea.

33 Na ka haere mai te wahine me te wehi, me te wiri, i mahara hoki ki te mea i meatia ki a ia, a takoto ana ki tona aroaro, korerotia katoatia ana e ia te tikanga ki a ia.

34 Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ia, E ko, na tou whakapono koe i ora ai; haere marie, kia ora koe i tou mate.

35 I a ia ano e korero ana, ka haere mai etahi o nga tangata a te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea, Kua mate tau tamahine: hei aha ake mau te whakararuraru i te Kaiwhakaako?

36 Otira kahore a Ihu i aro ki te kupu i korerotia, ka mea atu ki te rangatira o te whare karakia, Kaua e wehi, ko te whakapono ia kia whakapono.

37 A kihai tetahi tangata i tukua kia haere tahi me ia, ko Pita anake, ko hemi, ko Hoani teina o Hemi.

38 A, no te taenga atu ki te whare o te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka kite ia i te ngangau, i te nui hoki o te tangi, o te aue a etahi.

39 A, i tona tomokanga ki roto, ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka ngangau ai, ka tangi ai? kahore te kotiro i mate, engari e moe ana.

40 Na kataina iho ia e ratou. Heoi, ka oti katoa te pei ki waho, ka mau ia ki te papa, ki te whaea o te kotiro, ratou ko ona hoa, ka tomo ki te wahi i takoto ai te kotiro.

41 Na ka mau ia ki te ringa o te kotiro, ka mea ki a ia, Tarita kumi; ko tona whakamaoritanga tenei, E ko, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, e ara.

42 Na whakatika tonu ake te kotiro, a haere ana; kotahi tekau ma rua hoki ona tau. Na ko te tino miharotanga i miharo ai ratou.

43 A he nui tana whakatupato i a ratou, kia kaua tenei e mohiotia e tetahi tangata; ka ki kia hoatu he kai mana.

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(A)(B)

They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] When Jesus got out of the boat,(C) a man with an impure spirit(D) came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(E) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(F) In God’s name don’t torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

“My name is Legion,”(G) he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion(H) of demons,(I) sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them(J) how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[b](K) how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(L)

21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake,(M) a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.(N) 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders,(O) named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on(P) her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(Q) for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes,(R) I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.(S)

30 At once Jesus realized that power(T) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’

32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(U) Go in peace(V) and be freed from your suffering.”

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(W) “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

36 Overhearing[c] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.(X) 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader,(Y) Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”(Z) 40 But they laughed at him.

After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand(AA) and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).(AB) 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this,(AC) and told them to give her something to eat.
