Markos 5:1-20

Markos 5:1-20 TOJB2011

And they came to the other side of the lake, to the country of the Gerasenes. And as soon as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach stepped out of the sirah (boat), ofen ort (immediately), a man with a ruach hatumah from the kevarim (tombs) of the burial caves met him. This man had (his) dwelling among the kevarim. And no one could keep him tied any longer, even with sharsherot (chains, fetters); Because often he had been bound with shackles and the shackles had been torn apart by him, and no one had the koach (power) to subdue him. And constantly, yomam valailah (day and night), among the kevarim and in the mountains, he was crying out and beating himself with stones. And, having seen Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from afar, he ran and fell down before him. And having cried out with a kol gadol (loud voice), he says, Mah lanu valach, Yehoshua, Ben HaElohim HaElyon? I implore you by HASHEM, [do] not torment me. For Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had been saying to him, Come out of the man, ruach hatumah (unclean spirit)! And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was questioning him, saying, What is your name? And he says to him, Legion [is] my name, for we are many! And he begged Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach again and again not to exorcise him and banish him from that place. Now there was a large herd of chazirim feeding nearby on the hillside. And they (the ruchot hatemeiot, the shedim) implored Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Send us into the chazirim, so that we may go into them. And he permitted them. And having come out, the ruchot hatemeiot entered into the chazirim. And the herd of chazirim rushed down the slope into the lake, and there were about two thousand of them, and they were drowned in the lake. And the herdsmen feeding them fled and reported it in the village and in the sadot (fields), and the people came to see what had come to pass. And they come to Yehoshua, and they see the one that had been possessed by the shed sitting, clothed and in his right mind the very one having had the Legion! And they were afraid. And the edei reiyah (eyewitnesses) of what had happened to the man possessed by shedim and of what had happened to the chazirim reported it. Then they began to implore Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to depart from their region. And as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was stepping into the sirah (boat), the one who had been possessed by shedim was imploring him that he might accompany him. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not permit him, but says to him, Go home to your people and report to them everything that HASHEM has done for you and [that] HASHEM had rachamim (mercy) upon you. And the man left and began to preach in the Decapolis everything that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had done for him, and everyone was amazed.
