The Holy Gospel According to Mark 5: 21-43

5:21 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.
5:22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, approached. Na ịhụ ya, he fell prostrate at his feet.
5:23 And he beseeched him greatly, na-ekwu: “For my daughter is near the end. Come and lay your hand on her, so that she may be healthy and may live.”
5:24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.
5:25 And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
5:26 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.
5:27 Mgbe ahụ, when she had heard of Jesus, she approached through the crowd behind him, and she touched his garment.
5:28 N'ihi na o kwuru: “Because if I touch even his garment, I will be saved.”
5:29 Na ozugbo, the source of her bleeding was dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed from the wound.
5:30 And immediately Jesus, realizing within himself that power that had gone out from him, turning to the crowd, kwuru, “Who touched my garments?”
5:31 And his disciples said to him, “You see that the crowd presses around you, ma ị na-ekwu, ‘Onye metụrụ m aka?’”
5:32 And he looked around to see the woman who had done this.
5:33 Ma n'ezie, 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.
5:34 Ọ si ya: “Nwa nwanyi, okwukwe gị azọpụtala gị. Go in peace, and be healed from your wound.”
5:35 Mgbe ọ ka nọ na-ekwu okwu, they arrived from the ruler of the synagogue, na-ekwu: “Nwa gị nwaanyị anwụọla. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
5:36 But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: "Atụla ụjọ. You need only believe.”
5:37 And he would not permit anyone to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
5:38 And they went to the house of the ruler of the synagogue. And he saw a tumult, and weeping, and much wailing.
5:39 Na ịbanye, Ọ si ha: “Why are you disturbed and weeping? Nwa agbọghọ ahụ anwụghị, but is asleep.”
5:40 Ha we me ya ihe-ọchì. Ma n'ezie, having put them all out, he took the father and mother of the girl, na ndị ya na ha nọ, and he entered to where the girl was lying.
5:41 And taking the girl by the hand, Ọ si ya, “Talitha koumi,” which means, “Obere nwa agbọghọ, (asim gi) arise.
5:42 And immediately the young girl rose up and walked. Now she was twelve years old. And they were suddenly struck with a great astonishment.
5:43 And he instructed them sternly, so that no one would know about it. And he told them to give her something to eat.
