Talitha koum!

Mark 5:41 - He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" ).

I wonder why Mark decided to write Jesus' actual words and then translate or rephrase them for us. Perhaps there's something here in the original language(s) that I'm missing.
