LA SACRA BIBBIACATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Giunsero all'altra parte del mare, nella regione dei Geraseni;1 And they went across the strait of the sea into the region of the Gerasenes.
2 appena Gesù fu smontato dalla barca, subito gli si fece incontro, di tra le tombe, un uomo posseduto da uno spirito immondo,2 And as he was departing from the boat, he was immediately met, from among the tombs, by a man with an unclean spirit,
3 che aveva la sua dimora nelle tombe e nessuno riusciva più a legarlo nemmeno con catene,3 who had his dwelling place with the tombs; neither had anyone been able to bind him, even with chains.
4 poiché più volte, legato con ceppi e catene, aveva spezzato le catene e rotto i ceppi e nessuno era riuscito a domarlo.4 For having been bound often with shackles and chains, he had broken the chains and smashed the shackles; and no one had been able to tame him.
5 Se ne stava sempre tra i sepolcri e sui monti, notte e giorno, urlando e percuotendosi con pietre.5 And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 Or avendo visto Gesù da lontano, di corsa andò a prostrarglisi davanti.6 And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.
7 Quindi, gridando a gran voce, gli dice: "Che c'è fra me e te, Gesù, Figlio del Dio Altissimo? Ti scongiuro, per Iddio: non mi tormentare!".7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said: “What am I to you, Jesus, the Son of the Most High God? I beseech you by God, that you not torment me.”
8 Gesù, infatti, gli diceva: "Esci da quest'uomo, spirito immondo!".8 For he said to him, “Depart from the man, you unclean spirit.”
9 Gli domandò: "Qual è il tuo nome?". Gli rispose: "Legione è il mio nome, poiché siamo molti".9 And he questioned him: “What is your name?” And he said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10 E lo supplicava vivamente di non scacciarli fuori dalla regione.10 And he entreated him greatly, so that he would not expel him from the region.
11 Ora v'era lì, sulla montagna, una grossa mandria di porci che pascolava.11 And in that place, near the mountain, there was a great herd of swine, feeding.
12 Allora lo supplicarono dicendogli: "Mandaci in quei porci, perché possiamo entrare in essi";12 And the spirits entreated him, saying: “Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them.”
13 egli lo permise loro. Allora gli spiriti immondi, usciti dall'uomo, entrarono nei porci; la mandria si precipitò giù per un dirupo nel mare e in circa duemila affogarono nel mare.13 And Jesus promptly gave them permission. And the unclean spirits, departing, entered into the swine. And the herd of about two thousand rushed down with great force into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14 I loro guardiani fuggirono per recare la notizia in città e nelle campagne e la gente venne a vedere ciò che era accaduto.14 Then those who pastured them fled, and they reported it in the city and in the countryside. And they all went out to see what was happening.
15 Giunti presso Gesù, videro l'indemoniato, seduto, vestito e sano di mente, lui che prima aveva avuto la Legione, ed ebbero paura.15 And they came to Jesus. And they saw the man who had been troubled by the demon, sitting, clothed and with a sane mind, and they were afraid.
16 Poi, avendo i presenti raccontato loro ciò che era accaduto all'indemoniato e ai porci,16 And those who had seen it explained to them how he had dealt with the man who had the demon, and about the swine.
17 incominciarono a supplicarlo di allontanarsi dal loro territorio.17 And they began to petition him, so that he would withdraw from their borders.
18 Mentre Gesù saliva sulla barca, l'uomo che era stato posseduto dal demonio lo supplicava di poter stare con lui;18 And as he was climbing into the boat, the man who had been troubled by the demons began to beg him, so that he might be with him.
19 ma egli non glielo permise. Gli disse invece: "Va' a casa tua dai tuoi e annuncia loro quanto il Signore ti ha fatto e come ha avuto pietà di te".19 And he did not permit him, but he said to him, “Go to your own people, in your own house, and announce to them how great are the things that Lord has done for you, and how he has taken pity on you.”
20 Quello se ne andò e incominciò a proclamare nella Decapoli quanto Gesù gli aveva fatto, e tutti ne restavano meravigliati.20 And he went away and began to preach in the Ten Cities, how great were the things that Jesus had done for him. And everyone wondered.
21 Passato Gesù di nuovo all'altra riva, una grande folla si radunò intorno a lui, che se ne stava sulla spiaggia del mare.21 And when Jesus had crossed in the boat, over the strait again, a great crowd came together before him. And he was near the sea.
22 Ora giunse uno dei capi della sinagoga, di nome Giàiro, che, appena lo ebbe visto, gli si gettò ai piedi22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, approached. And seeing him, he fell prostrate at his feet.
23 e lo pregava con insistenza: "La mia figlioletta è agli estremi. Vieni e imponile le mani, affinché sia salva e viva".23 And he beseeched him greatly, saying: “For my daughter is near the end. Come and lay your hand on her, so that she may be healthy and may live.”
24 Gesù andò con lui e una grande folla lo seguiva e gli si stringeva attorno.24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.
25 Ora una donna, che da dodici anni era affetta da un flusso di sangue25 And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
26 e aveva sofferto molto sotto molti medici spendendo tutto il suo patrimonio senza averne alcun giovamento, anzi piuttosto peggiorando,26 And she had endured much from several physicians, and she had spent everything she owned with no benefit at all, but instead she became worse.
27 avendo inteso parlare di Gesù, si ficcò in mezzo alla folla e da dietro gli toccò la veste.27 Then, when she had heard of Jesus, she approached through the crowd behind him, and she touched his garment.
28 Infatti si era detta: "Se riuscirò a toccargli anche solo le vesti, sarò salva".28 For she said: “Because if I touch even his garment, I will be saved.”
29 Immediatamente la sorgente del suo sangue si seccò ed ella sentì nel suo corpo che era stata guarita dal male.29 And immediately, the source of her bleeding was dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed from the wound.
30 Anche Gesù, avendo avvertito subito in se medesimo che una forza era uscita da lui, rivoltosi verso la folla domandò: "Chi mi ha toccato le vesti?".30 And immediately Jesus, realizing within himself that power that had gone out from him, turning to the crowd, said, “Who touched my garments?”
31 Gli risposero i suoi discepoli: "Vedi bene la folla che ti stringe attorno e domandi: "Chi mi ha toccato?".31 And his disciples said to him, “You see that the crowd presses around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
32 Ma egli si guardava attorno per vedere la donna che aveva fatto ciò.32 And he looked around to see the woman who had done this.
33 Allora la donna, timorosa e tremante, ben sapendo ciò che le era accaduto, si avvicinò, gli si gettò ai piedi e gli disse tutta la verità.33 Yet truly, the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened within her, went and fell prostrate before him, and she told him the whole truth.
34 Quindi egli le disse: "Figlia, la tua fede ti ha salvata. Va' in pace e sii sanata dal tuo male".34 And he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be healed from your wound.”
35 Gesù stava ancora parlando, quando dalla casa del capo della sinagoga giunsero alcuni che dissero a quest'ultimo: "Tua figlia è morta! Perché importuni ancora il Maestro?".35 While he was still speaking, they arrived from the ruler of the synagogue, saying: “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
36 Ma Gesù, avendo inteso per caso il discorso che facevano, disse al capo della sinagoga: "Non temere, ma solamente abbi fede!".36 But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: “Do not be afraid. You need only believe.”
37 E non permise che alcuno lo seguisse, all'infuori di Pietro, Giacomo e Giovanni, fratello di Giacomo.37 And he would not permit anyone to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 Giunti alla casa del capo della sinagoga, egli avvertì il fracasso di quelli che piangevano e si lamentavano fortemente.38 And they went to the house of the ruler of the synagogue. And he saw a tumult, and weeping, and much wailing.
39 Perciò, entrato, disse loro: "Perché fate chiasso e piangete? La fanciulla non è morta, ma dorme".39 And entering, he said to them: “Why are you disturbed and weeping? The girl is not dead, but is asleep.”
40 Quelli incominciarono a deriderlo. Ma egli, messili fuori tutti, prese con sé il padre della fanciulla con la madre e i discepoli ed entrò dove si trovava la fanciulla.40 And they derided him. Yet truly, having put them all out, he took the father and mother of the girl, and those who were with him, and he entered to where the girl was lying.
41 Quindi, presa la mano della fanciulla, le disse: "Talithà kum!", che tradotto significa: "Fanciulla, ti dico, sorgi!".41 And taking the girl by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which means, “Little girl, (I say to you) arise.
42 Subito la fanciulla si alzò e si mise a camminare. Aveva, infatti, dodici anni. Essi furono presi da grande stupore.42 And immediately the young girl rose up and walked. Now she was twelve years old. And they were suddenly struck with a great astonishment.
43 Ma Gesù comandò loro insistentemente che nessuno lo venisse a sapere e ordinò che le si desse da mangiare.43 And he instructed them sternly, so that no one would know about it. And he told them to give her something to eat.
