Mark 5

1 On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

1 Og de kom over til hin Side af Søen til Gerasenernes Land.

2 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.

2 Og da han trådte ud af Skibet, kom der ham straks i Møde ud fra Gravene en Mand med en uren Ånd.

3 This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

3 Han havde sin Bolig i Gravene, og ingen kunde længer binde ham, end ikke med Lænker.

4 Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

4 Thi han havde ofte været bunden med Bøjer og Lænker, og Lænkerne vare sprængte af ham og Bøjerne sønderslidte, og ingen kunde tæmme ham.

5 Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

5 Og han var altid Nat og Dag i Gravene og på Bjergene, skreg og slog sig selv med Sten.

6 When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

6 Men da han så Jesus. Langt borte, løb han hen og kastede sig ned for ham

7 And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

7 og råbte med høj Røst og sagde: “Hvad har jeg med dig at gøre, Jesus, den højeste Guds Søn? Jeg besværger dig ved Gud, at du ikke piner mig.”

8 For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

8 Thi han sagde til ham: “Far ud af Manden, du urene Ånd!”

9 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

9 Og han spurgte ham: “Hvad er dit Navn?” Og han siger til ham: “Legion* er mit Navn; thi vi ere mange.” { [*en romersk Hærafdeling på omtrent 6.000 Mand. Matth. 26, 53.] }

10 And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

10 Og han bad ham meget om ikke at drive dem ud af Landet.

11 There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

11 Men der var der ved Bjerget en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede;

12 So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

12 og de* bade ham og sagde: “Send os i Svinene, så vi må fare i dem.” { [*d. e. de urene Ånder.] }

13 He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

13 Og han tilstedte dem det. Og de urene Ånder fore ud og fore i Svinene; og Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen, omtrent to Tusinde, og de druknede i Søen.

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.

14 Og deres Hyrder flyede og forkyndte det i Byen og på Landet; og de kom for at se, hvad det var, som var sket.

15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

15 Og de komme til Jesus og se den besatte, ham, som havde haft Legionen, sidde påklædt og ved Samling, og de frygtede.

16 Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

16 Men de, som havde set det, fortalte dem, hvorledes det var gået den besatte, og om Svinene.

17 And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

17 Og de begyndte at bede ham om, at han vilde gå bort fra deres Egn.

18 As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

18 Og da han gik om Bord i Skibet, bad den, som havde været besat, ham om, at han måtte være hos ham.

19 But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

19 Og han tilstedte ham det ikke, men siger til ham: “Gå til dit Hus, til dine egne, og forkynd dem, hvor store Ting Herren har gjort imod dig, og at han har forbarmet sig over dig.”

20 So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

20 Og han gik bort og begyndte at kundgøre i Dekapolis, hvor store Ting Jesus havde gjort imod ham; og alle undrede sig.

21 When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

21 Og da Jesus igen i Skibet var faren over til hin Side, samledes der en stor Skare om ham, og han var ved Søen.

22 A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

22 Og der kommer en af Synagogeforstanderne ved Navn Jairus, og da han ser ham, falder han ned for hans Fødder.

23 and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”

23 Og han beder ham meget og siger: “Min lille Datter er på sit yderste; o! at du vilde komme og lægge Hænderne på hende, for at hun må frelses og leve!”

24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

24 Og han gik bort med ham, og en stor Skare fulgte ham, og de trængte ham.

25 And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

25 Og der var en Kvinde, som havde haft Blodflod i tolv År,

26 She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.

26 og hun havde døjet meget af mange Læger og havde tilsat alt, hvad hun ejede, og hun var ikke bleven hjulpen, men tværtimod, det var blevet værre med hende.

27 When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

27 Da hun havde hørt om Jesus, kom hun bagfra i Skaren og rørte ved hans Klædebon.

28 For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

28 Thi hun sagde: “Dersom jeg rører blot ved hans Klæder, bliver jeg frelst.”

29 Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

29 Og straks tørredes hendes Blods Kilde, og hun mærkede i sit Legeme, at hun var bleven helbredt fra sin Plage.

30 At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

30 Og straks da Jesus mærkede på sig selv, at den Kraft var udgået fra ham, vendte han sig om i Skaren og sagde: “Hvem rørte ved mine Klæder?”

31 His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

31 Og hans Disciple sagde til ham: “Du ser, at Skaren trænger dig, og du siger: Hvem rørte ved mig?”

32 But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

32 Og han så sig om for at se hende, som havde gjort dette.

33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.

33 Men da Kvinden vidste, hvad der var sket hende, kom hun frygtende og bævende og faldt ned for ham og sagde ham hele Sandheden.

34 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

34 Men han sagde til hende: “Datter! din Tro har frelst dig; gå bort med Fred, og vær helbredt fra din Plage!”

35 While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

35 Endnu medens han talte, komme nogle fra Synagogeforstanderens Hus og sige: “Din Datter er død, hvorfor umager du Mesteren længere?”

36 But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

36 Men Jesus hørte det Ord, som blev sagt, og han siger til Synagogeforstanderen: “Frygt ikke, tro blot!”

37 And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

37 Og han tilstedte ingen at følge med sig uden Peter og Jakob og Johannes, Jakobs Broder.

38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

38 Og de komme ind i Synagogeforstanderens Hus, og han ser en larmende Hob, der græd og hylede meget.

39 He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

39 Og han går ind og siger til dem: “Hvorfor larme og græde I? Barnet er ikke død, men det sover.”

40 And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.

40 Og de lo ad ham; men han drev dem alle ud, og han tager Barnets Fader og Moder og sine Ledsagere med sig og går ind, hvor Barnet var.

41 Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

41 Og han tager Barnet ved Hånden og siger til hende: “Talitha kumi!” hvilket er udlagt: “Pige, jeg siger dig, stå op!”

42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

42 Og straks stod Pigen op og gik omkring; thi hun var tolv År gammel. Og de bleve straks overmåde forfærdede.

43 Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.

43 Og han bød dem meget, at ingen måtte få dette at vide; og han sagde, at de skulde give hende noget at spise.
