Evangelium secundum Marcum, 5

1. et venerunt trans fretum maris in regionem Gerasenorum

1. And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.

2. et exeunti ei de navi statim occurrit ei de monumentis homo in spiritu inmundo

2. And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,

3. qui domicilium habebat in monumentis et neque catenis jam quisquam eum poterat ligare

3. Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.

4. quoniam sæpe conpedibus et catenis vinctus disrupisset catenas et conpedes comminuisset et nemo poterat eum domare

4. For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.

5. et semper nocte ac die in monumentis et in montibus erat clamans et concidens se lapidibus

5. And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.

6. videns autem Jesum a longe cucurrit et adoravit eum

6. And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.

7. et clamans voce magna dicit quid mihi et tibi Jesu Fili Dei summi adiuro te per Deum ne me torqueas

7. And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.

8. dicebat enim illi exi spiritus inmunde ab homine

8. For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9. et interrogabat eum quod tibi nomen est et dicit ei Legio nomen mihi est quia multi sumus

9. And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.

10. et deprecabatur eum multum ne se expelleret extra regionem

10. And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.

11. erat autem ibi circa montem grex porcorum magnus pascens

11. And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.

12. et deprecabantur eum spiritus dicentes mitte nos in porcos ut in eos intrœamus

12. And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13. et concessit eis statim Jesus et exeuntes spiritus inmundi introjerunt in porcos et magno impetu grex præcipitatus est in mare ad duo milia et suffocati sunt in mare

13. And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea.

14. qui autem pascebant eos fugerunt et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in agros et egressi sunt videre quid esset facti

14. And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:

15. et veniunt ad Jesum et vident illum qui a dæmonio vexabatur sedentem vestitum et sanæ mentis et timuerunt

15. And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.

16. et narraverunt illis qui viderant qualiter factum esset ei qui dæmonium habuerat et de porcis

16. And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.

17. et rogare eum cœperunt ut discederet de finibus eorum

17. And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.

18. cumque ascenderet navem cœpit illum deprecari qui dæmonio vexatus fuerat ut esset cum illo

18. And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.

19. et non admisit eum sed ait illi vade in domum tuam ad tuos et adnuntia illis quanta tibi Dominus fecerit et misertus sit tui

19. And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy on thee.

20. et abiit et cœpit prædicare in Decapoli quanta sibi fecisset Jesus et omnes mirabantur

20. And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.

21. et cum transcendisset Jesus in navi rursus trans fretum convenit turba multa ad illum et erat circa mare

21. And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.

22. et venit quidam de archisynagogis nomine Jairus et videns eum procidit ad pedes ejus

22. And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.

23. et deprecabatur eum multum dicens quoniam filia mea in extremis est veni inpone manus super eam ut salva sit et vivat

23. And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live.

24. et abiit cum illo et sequebatur eum turba multa et conprimebant illum

24. And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

25. et mulier quæ erat in profluvio sanguinis annis duodecim

25. And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,

26. et fuerat multa perpessa a conpluribus medicis et erogaverat omnia sua nec quicquam profecerat sed magis deterius habebat

26. And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,

27. cum audisset de Jesu venit in turba retro et tetigit vestimentum ejus

27. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.

28. dicebat enim quia si vel vestimentum ejus tetigero salva ero

28. For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.

29. et confestim siccatus est fons sanguinis ejus et sensit corpore quod sanata esset a plaga

29. And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.

30. et statim Jesus cognoscens in semet ipso virtutem quæ exierat de eo conversus ad turbam ajebat quis tetigit vestimenta mea

30. And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?

31. et dicebant ei discipuli sui vides turbam conprimentem te et dicis quis me tetigit

31. And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?

32. et circumspiciebat videre eam quæ hoc fecerat

32. And he looked about to see her who had done this.

33. mulier autem timens et tremens sciens quod factum esset in se venit et procidit ante eum et dixit ei omnem veritatem

33. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34. ille autem dixit ei filia fides tua te salvam fecit vade in pace et esto sana a plaga tua

34. And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.

35. adhuc eo loquente veniunt ab archisynagogo dicentes quia filia tua mortua est quid ultra vexas magistrum

35. While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?

36. Jesus autem verbo quod dicebatur audito ait archisynagogo noli timere tantummodo crede

36. But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.

37. et non admisit quemquam sequi se nisi Petrum et Jacobum et Johannem fratrem Jacobi

37. And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

38. et veniunt in domum archisynagogi et videt tumultum et flentes et hejulantes multum

38. And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.

39. et ingressus ait eis quid turbamini et ploratis puella non est mortua sed dormit

39. And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

40. et inridebant eum ipse vero ejectis omnibus adsumit patrem et matrem puellæ et qui secum erant et ingreditur ubi erat puella jacens

40. And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

41. et tenens manum puellæ ait illi talitha cumi quod est interpretatum puella tibi dico surge

41. And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.

42. et confestim surrexit puella et ambulabat erat autem annorum duodecim et obstipuerunt stupore maximo

42. And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.

43. et præcepit illis vehementer ut nemo id sciret et dixit dari illi manducare

43. And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
