¹ Bhakaika moaka upande ghonge ghwa bahali lwa mkoa ghwa Gerasi. ² Na ghafula wakati Yecho chakakibha hakibhoka panjha jha mtighome, mundojhwene mojho uhakao hakaikite kwabhokabhoka makabule. ³ Mundo jhola aliishi kumakabule. Haibhijhe jhwa hawezite kumzuia zaide, hibhijhi hata kwa minyororo. ⁴ Chahakibha hapungwite nyakati jhe jhenge kwa pingo na minyororo. Hakaiheketa minyororo na pingo jhake zikavunjetwa.

Harapo hakaikite ukanjha kwake wakati chahakibha hakitwanga nnghate jha umate, najho hakali gusite uvaze upake. ²⁸ Kwa kuwa hakalongera, "enda ni ngeya gusite mavazi jhake zwene tu nikibha mzima." ²⁹ Alipo ghusite, kubhokwa damo kulikoma, na akajisikile lwa mwile kwake kwamba hakaponyite kubhoka kwenye matecho jhake. ³⁰ Na ghafula Yecho hakatekakugundua nngate jhake zwene kwamba nguvo zipokite. Na akagharambuka kola na kola lwa umate ghwa bhando na kukonya, "Ni ghani haka nghaghusite vaze lwango?" ³¹ Wa bholwa bhake bhakabharongerere, "Muhu lwene humate hongo unisongite ukikuzunguka,najho wale ngeva, "Ni ghani zwanigusite?" ³² Lakini Yecho hakitazama kola na kola kubhona ambajho jhwahabhile hayaengite hili. ³³ Mkeghe, hakamanyite kilichopitira kwa jhene, halijhogopa na kulendema. Hakaikite na hakagwile pahe kulongoro jhake na kunongoresha ukwele ghoha. ³⁴ Hakalongire kwa jhwene, "Binti, imane jhako hikufanyite uwe mzima. Eujhende kwa amane na uponywe kubhoka kwenye ugonjwa." ³⁵ Chahakibha hakijhungumza bahazi jha bhando bhakaikite kubhoka kwa kilongoche jhwa sinagogi, wakilongera, "Binti jhake hajho mwike kwa nini kujhendelele kumchumbula mwalimo?" ³⁶ Lakini Yecho halipojhohana ambagho walichokirogera, kilongoche jhwa sinagogi, "Mkoto kujhogopa. Amine tu." ³⁷ Hakumruhuchu jho jhoha kulongo hana najho hisipokuwa Petro, Yakobo, na Yohana, nongo gwake Yakobo. ³⁸ Hakaikite hukajha kwa kirongoche wa sinagogi najho hakaibwene vurugo, kulia kwingi na kuombolecha. ³⁹ Alipojhingira mngate, hakamrobhorera, "Kwanini mmesikitika na kwanini mnalela? Mwana hajapwaliki bali hameghono." ⁴⁰ Bhakachemwike, lakini jhwene, halibhaha bhoha panja, hakmtola tatejhwa mwana na majhena bhala bhakimba pamonga najho, na hakajingire nngate mwahabhile mwana. ⁴¹ Akachukula mibhoko jhwa mwana na hakamrobholela, "Talitha koum," ambajho ni kulongera, "Binti mchokombe, hananirobhorera, jhimuka. ⁴² Ghafula mwana hakajimuka na kutwaga kwa (kuwa hakibha na umure jhwa miaka kumi na miwili).
