Vangelo secondo Marco 5

BIBBIA RICCIOTTI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 - Così giunsero all'altra riva del mare, nel paese de' Geraseni.	1 And they went across the strait of the sea into the region of the Gerasenes.
2 Era appena smontato dalla barca, che gli andò 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 il quale aveva la sua dimora nei sepolcri e nessuno poteva tenerlo legato, neppure con catena;	3 who had his dwelling place with the tombs; neither had anyone been able to bind him, even with chains.
4 in verità era stato spesse volte legato con ceppi e catene, ma egli aveva spezzate le catene e rotti i ceppi e nessuno poteva 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 Stava sempre di notte e di giorno tra i sepolcri e su per i monti urlando e picchiandosi con i sassi.	5 And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 Visto Gesù di lontano, corse, gli si prostrò innanzi	6 And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.
7 e dato un gran grido, disse: «Che vi è fra me e te, Gesù, Figlio del Dio Altissimo? Io ti scongiuro, in nome di Dio, di non tormentarmi».	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: «Spirito immondo, esci da quest'uomo».	8 For he said to him, “Depart from the man, you unclean spirit.”
9 E lo interrogava: «Qual è il tuo nome?». Egli rispose: «Io ho nome Legione, perchè 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 pregava con insistenza di non mandarlo via dal paese.	10 And he entreated him greatly, so that he would not expel him from the region.
11 Ora quivi stava pascolando pel monte un gran branco di porci;	11 And in that place, near the mountain, there was a great herd of swine, feeding.
12 e gli spiriti lo pregavan dicendo: «Mandaci nei porci, affinchè entriamo in essi».	12 And the spirits entreated him, saying: “Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them.”
13 Gesù lo permise loro; e gli spiriti immondi, usciti, entrarono nei porci e il branco, che era di circa duemila, si gettò giù a precipizio nel mare dove annegarono.	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 guardiani fuggirono e portarono la notizia in città e per la campagna. La gente andò 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 e arrivati a Gesù, videro l'indemoniato seduto, vestito e sano di mente e n'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 Ma quelli che avevano veduto, raccontarono quant'era successo all'indemoniato e il fatto dei 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 Essi allora si misero a pregare Gesù che s'allontanasse dal paese.	17 And they began to petition him, so that he would withdraw from their borders.
18 Mentr'egli saliva sulla barca, l'uomo ch'era stato indemoniato, gli domandò il permesso di seguirlo.	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 Gesù non glielo diede e disse: «Va' a casa tua, dai tuoi, e conta loro le grandi cose che il Signore ha fatto per te e com'egli ti abbia usato misericordia».	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 E se ne andò e cominciò a far sapere nella Decapoli quanto Gesù aveva fatto per sè; e tutti se ne meravigliavano.	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 Quando Gesù fu passato di nuovo in barca all'altra riva una gran folla gli si radunò d'attorno.	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 E venne uno dei capi della sinagoga, chiamato Giairo, il quale, vedutolo, gli si gettò ai piedi	22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, approached. And seeing him, he fell prostrate at his feet.
23 pregandolo con viva insistenza: «La mia bambina è in fin di vita; vieni a imporle le mani, affinchè 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, mentre la gran folla, che lo seguiva, lo pigiava.	24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.
25 V'era una donna che soffriva da dodici anni perdite di sangue;	25 And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
26 e aveva patito molto da parte di parecchi medici, spendendo tutto il suo senza alcun pro, 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 udito parlare di Gesù, si fece avanti in mezzo alla folla e toccò per dì dietro la veste di lui,	27 Then, when she had heard of Jesus, she approached through the crowd behind him, and she touched his garment.
28 perchè pensava: «Se riesco a toccare anche solo la sua veste, io sarò guarita».	28 For she said: “Because if I touch even his garment, I will be saved.”
29 Nello stesso istante il flusso del sangue si stagnò ed ella si sentì nel corpo guarita da quella sua infermità.	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 Gesù, accortosi subito che una virtù era uscita da lui, rivoltosi alla folla domandò: «Chi ha toccato le mie 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 E poichè i discepoli gli dicevan: «Tu vedi la folla che ti opprime 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 egli si guardava attorno per vedere chi aveva fatto ciò.	32 And he looked around to see the woman who had done this.
33 La donna, tremante di paura, ben sapendo quanto le era accaduto, venne a gettarsi ai piedi di lui 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 Gesù le disse: «Figliuola, la tua fede ti ha salvata; va' in pace e sii guarita 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 Stava ancora parlando, quando arrivò gente dalla casa del capo della sinagoga a dire: «Tua figlia è morta; perchè incomodare più oltre 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, sentito ciò, disse al capo della sinagoga: «Non temere solo 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 nessuno l'accompagnasse, tranne 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 a casa del capo della sinagoga, vi trovò un gran fracasso e gente che piangeva e urlava forte.	38 And they went to the house of the ruler of the synagogue. And he saw a tumult, and weeping, and much wailing.
39 Entrato, disse loro: «Perchè tanto strepito e pianto? 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 Essi si beffavan di lui. Ma egli, mandatili fuori tutti, prese con sè il padre e la madre della fanciulla e quelli ch'erano con lui ed entrò nel luogo dove giaceva 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 E presala per mano le disse: «Talitha qumi!» che vuol dire: «Giovinetta, (te lo dico io) lèvati!».	41 And taking the girl by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which means, “Little girl, (I say to you) arise.
42 E subito la giovinetta si alzò e camminava, perchè aveva dodici anni. E furono presi da gran timore.	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 Gesù comandò loro severamente di non dir nulla a nessuno; poi ordinò che si desse da mangiare alla fanciulla.	43 And he instructed them sternly, so that no one would know about it. And he told them to give her something to eat.
