Markos 7
1 A farisawa so kiti kirum ligowe na Yisa, nan nadidye nyiru niyerte na iwa dak unuzun Urushalima.
[One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
2 Ba iyene among nan nya nono katwa me ili nimonli nin dinong nachara mine, wati na iwa kusu achara ba.
The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
3 (Bara na inung a Farisawa nan na Yahudawa vat, na idin li imonli ba se ikusu achara lau; na idin su avu nin kani kite ba, bara iwa seru nani kiti nakune minerẹ.
4 Andi a Farisawa nsa unuzun kasau, na asa ileo imonli ba se isulsuna. Tutung ti duka di nani ku gbardang to na idin dorte nin likara, nafo ukuzu tikop, ameleng, asu-nishik, umunu kitin lisosin linimolẹ wang.)
5 A Farisawa nan nadidyan yiru niyertẹ tirino Yisa ku, ''Iyaghari ta na nono katwa fe din dortu ugadu nakune ba, bara na idin li nimonli mine sa ukusu nachara?
That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
6 A woro nani, ''Ishaya unan liru nin nu Kutellẹ wa yertin gai kitene kinu ndortu liru Kutellẹ na idin su, 'Anit alele din sue liru nin na kpa tinu minere, a nibinayi mine yita piit ninmi.
Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
7 U dortu mine kuholari su unin, idin dursuzu tiduka nanitari, na un Kutellẹ ba.
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
8 Ina filin uduka Kutellẹ i nanin na kifo adadun ngadu nanit asirne.''
You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
9 A woro, i lanza nmang infillu duka Kutellẹ inan yinnọ udortu gadu!
Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
10 Unnare Musa wa woro, na uchif fe nin nafighe ngogong, tutung urika na adin su uliru unanzang ayasa uchif nin nna, aba ku gbas.'
[For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
11 Anughe kuru iworo, ''Asa unit belle uchif me sa aname, vat ubunu urika na usere kiti nin kobaghari,'' (wati nworu, 'imon nni Kutlellẹri) -
But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
12 na asa iyinna asu uchifi me sa uname katwa ba.
13 Idin tizu uduka Kutellẹ shogo-shogo bara udortu timin ti duka idimun. Nan nimon gbardan irika na idin sue.''
And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
14 Ayichila ligozin nanite aworo ani, ''Lanzanni, vat mine, ikuru iyinin.
Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
15 Na imon nnuzun dasari irika na idin pichu nan nya kidowong nit din nanzughe ba. Imon irika na idin nuchu nan nya nutere din nanzughe.
Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
16 Vat urika na adinin natuf nlanzun liru na alanza.''
17 Nene kube na Yisa wa chin ligozin nanite a pira kilari, anan katwa me tiringhe tigoldo tone. Yisa woro,
After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
18 ''Anung wang dunani sa uyinnue? Na anung yene nwo vat nimon ile na ipira unit unuzun ndas na inare din nanzughe ba,
He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
19 bara na iwaya ipira nan nya kibinayi ba, asa ipira nan nya liburu me, idi tolu itunna idi nuzu kitin tin das (npunju).''
Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
20 A woro, “Imon irika na idin nuchu daga nanya nit usurneri din nanzughe.
He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
21 Bara nan nya kibinayin nit usurneri, makpilizu-kpilizun magunta din nuchu ku, unozu nin nin nawani sa nalililme, likiri, umolsu nanit,
Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
22 unozu nin wani nilugma sa gakilime nilugma, kunannizi, umagunta, usali kidegen, usu nlazun mang, tinanayi nin linbu nmong, ufiu liti, tilalang.
They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
23 Vat nimon magunta ilele din nuchu nan nya liburin nitari, inare din nanzu unit.
People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
24 A fita kikane a gya udu kusarin Sur nin Sidon. A pira nkan kilari bara na awa dinin su umun yinin aduka ba, bara nani na awa yenshin ba.
After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
25 Na nin dandaunu umong uwani na kashune wadi nin nagbergenu uwani une lanza ubeleng Yisa adah ada deu na bunun me.
A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
26 Uwani une ushono hẹllen iyawa ri unuzu surofinikiya, a fuu ye acara anutun agbergene nanyan shune me.
This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
28 Iwa kifo munu idomun kiti nagoh, na iwah fya ayi mine kifene nile imon na iba bellu ba. Ka na iba bellu nkoni kube amon nanyan nkoni kube, ille imon na iba bellu ima nie munu; na nughere masu ulire ba, nfip Kutellẹari. Gwana banii gwana me imollu, uchif nin gono me. Nono ba fiu nibineyi nachif mine bara imolsu nanin. Anit vat ba naari munu bara lissanni. Amma ule na a ba tere, kibinai me aba se ulai.
But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
29 A woro, “Bara na ubenle nani, can fi. Ku gbergene in nuzu nanyan nshono fe.”
[Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
30 Uwane kpilla Kilari adi se gone nọn kitenen nkomi, kugbergene nuzu.
The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
31 Tutung anuzu kusarin Tyre, akatan Sida udak kurawan Galili, vat udu Kusarin Dikafoli.
Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
32 I daghe nin mon unan nituri, unan sali nbellun liru gegeme, ifoghe acara a tarda kuture acara ulau me.
[There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
33 A nuzu ninghe nanya ligozin nanite udu kusari kurum a dudo atufe nin ticin me, atufuno attaf, a dudo lilem me.
[So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
34 A ghantina izi kitene kani, aceu kibinai a woronghe, “ifafattha,” nworo, “puno”
Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
35 Na nin dodonu ba atufemme puno alanza, ikala ile imong na kese lilem me atuna nliru gegeme.
At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
36 A wuno nani atuf na iwa belin umonba. Illeu ubun mbellu nimong na a kpada nani na iwa belin ba.
Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
37 I su umamaki kang, nin nille imong na iyene, ibelle, “A su kanta gegeme. Atah kuturi alanza unan saling bellu nliru lirina.”
[People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
