São Marcos, 5

1. Passaram à outra margem do lago, ao território dos gerasenos.

1. They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Ger'asenes.

2. Assim que saíram da barca, um homem possesso do espírito imundo saiu do cemitério

2. And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3. onde tinha seu refúgio e veio-lhe ao encontro. Não podiam atá-lo nem com cadeia, mesmo nos sepulcros,

3. who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him any more, even with a chain;

4. pois tinha sido ligado muitas vezes com grilhões e cadeias, mas os despedaçara e ninguém o podia subjugar.

4. for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the fetters he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.

5. Sempre, dia e noite, andava pelos sepulcros e nos montes, gritando e ferindo-se com pedras.

5. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out, and bruising himself with stones.

6. Vendo Jesus de longe, correu e prostrou-se diante dele, gritando em alta voz:

6. And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;

7. “Que queres de mim, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Conjuro-te por Deus, que não me atormentes”.

7. and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."

8. É que Jesus lhe dizia: “Espírito imundo, sai deste homem!”.

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

9. Perguntou-lhe Jesus: “Qual é o teu nome?”. Respondeu-lhe: “Legião é o meu nome, porque somos muitos”.

9. And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

10. E pediam-lhe com instância que não os lançasse fora daquela região.

10. And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.

11. Ora, uma grande manada de porcos andava pastando ali jun­to do monte.

11. Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;

12. E os espíritos suplicavam-lhe: “Manda-nos para os porcos, para entrarmos neles”.

12. and they begged him, "Send us to the swine, let us enter them."

13. Jesus lhos permitiu. Então, os espíritos imundos, tendo saído, entraram nos porcos; e a manada, de uns dois mil, precipitou-se no mar, afogando-se.

13. So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.

14. Fugiram os pastores e narraram o fato na cidade e pelos arredores. Então, saíram a ver o que tinha acontecido.

14. The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.

15. Aproximaram-se de Jesus e viram o possesso assentado, coberto com seu manto e calmo, ele que tinha sido possuído pela Legião. E o pânico apoderou-se deles.

15. And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

16. As testemunhas do fato contaram-lhes como havia acontecido isso ao endemoninhado, e o caso dos porcos.

16. And those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.

17. Começaram então a rogar-lhe que se retirasse da sua região.

17. And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their neighborhood.

18. Quando ele subia para a barca, veio o que tinha sido possesso e pediu-lhe permissão de acompa­nhá-lo.

18. And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.

19. Jesus não o admitiu, mas disse-lhe: “Vai para casa, para junto dos teus e anuncia-lhes tudo o que o Senhor fez por ti, e como se compadeceu de ti”.

19. But he refused, and said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

20. Foi-se ele e começou a publicar, na Decápole, tudo o que Jesus lhe havia feito. E todos se admiravam.* (Mt 9,18-26 = Lc 8,40-56)

20. And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decap'olis how much Jesus had done for him; and all men marveled.

21. Tendo Jesus navegado outra vez para a margem oposta, de novo afluiu a ele uma grande multidão. Ele se achava à beira do mar, quando

21. And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea.

22. um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo, se apresentou e, à sua vista, lançou-se a seus pés,

22. Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,

23. rogando-lhe com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem, impõe-lhe as mãos para que se salve e viva”.

23. and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live."

24. Jesus foi com ele e grande multidão o seguia, comprimindo-o.

24. And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.

25. Ora, havia ali uma mulher que já por doze anos padecia de um fluxo de sangue.

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

26. Sofrera muito nas mãos de vários médicos, gastando tudo o que possuía, sem achar nenhum alívio; pelo contrário, piorava cada vez mais.

26. and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

27. Tendo ela ouvido falar de Jesus, veio por detrás, entre a multidão, e tocou-lhe no manto.

27. She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

28. Dizia ela consigo: “Se tocar, ainda que seja na orla do seu manto, estarei curada”.

28. For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well."

29. Ora, no mesmo instante se lhe estancou a fonte de sangue, e ela teve a sensação de estar curada.

29. And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

30. Jesus percebeu imediatamente que saíra dele uma força e, voltando-se para o povo, perguntou: “Quem tocou minhas vestes?”.

30. And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?"

31. Responderam-lhe os seus discípulos: “Vês que a multidão te comprime e perguntas: Quem me tocou?”.

31. And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, `Who touched me?'"

32. E ele olhava em derredor para ver quem o fizera.

32. And he looked around to see who had done it.

33. Ora, a mulher, atemorizada e trêmula, sabendo o que nela se tinha passado, veio lançar-se a seus pés e contou-lhe toda a verdade.

33. But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.

34. Mas ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te salvou. Vai em paz e sê curada do teu mal”.

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

35. Enquanto ainda falava, chegou alguém da casa do chefe da sinagoga, anunciando: “Tua filha morreu. Para que ainda incomodas o Mestre?”.

35. While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

36. Ouvindo Jesus a notícia que era transmitida, dirigiu-se ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não temas; crê somente”.

36. But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

37. E não permitiu que ninguém o acompanhasse, senão Pedro, Tiago e João, irmão de Tiago.

37. And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

38. Ao chegar à casa do chefe da sinagoga, viu o alvoroço e os que estavam chorando e fazendo grandes lamentações.

38. When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly.

39. Ele entrou e disse-lhes: “Por que todo esse barulho e esses choros? A menina não morreu. Ela está dormindo”.

39. And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping."

40. Mas riam-se dele. Contudo, tendo mandado sair todos, tomou o pai e a mãe da menina e os que levava consigo, e entrou onde a menina estava deitada.

40. And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

41. Segurou a mão da menina e disse-lhe: “Talita cumi”, que quer dizer: “Menina, ordeno-te, levanta-te!”.

41. Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Tal'itha cu'mi"; which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

42. E imedia­tamente a menina se levantou e se pôs a caminhar (pois contava doze anos). Eles ficaram assombrados.

42. And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

43. Ordenou-lhes seve­ramente que ninguém o soubesse e mandou que lhe dessem de comer. (= Mt 13,53-58 = Lc 4,16-30)

43. And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
