ܘܟܢܫܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ | 1 |
And there came together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem:
ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܥܕܠܘ | 2 |
and when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands:
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ | 3 |
(for the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not, unless they wash their hands carefully, because they hold the tradition of the elders:
ܘܡܢ ܫܘܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܡܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܕܢܛܪܘܢ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ ܘܕܡܐܢܝ ܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܥܪܤܬܐ | 4 |
and when they come from the market, they do not eat, unless they immerse themselves. And there are many other things, which they have received to hold, as the immersion of cups and pitchers and brazen vessels and beds: )
ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ | 5 |
then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him: Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܤܦܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܝ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢܝ | 6 |
He answered and said to them: Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
ܘܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܝ ܟܕ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ | 7 |
In vain do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.
ܫܒܩܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢ | 8 |
For, neglecting the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the immersion of pitchers and cups; and many other things like these you do.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ | 9 |
And he said to them: Well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܨܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܐܡܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܢܡܘܬ | 10 |
For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ ܩܘܪܒܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢܝ ܬܐܬܪ | 11 |
But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Whatever of mine might benefit you, is Corban, (which means, a gift, )
ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ | 12 |
you no longer suffer him to do any thing for his father or mother,
ܘܡܤܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܫܠܡܬܘܢ ܘܕܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ | 13 |
making the word of God of no effect by your tradition, which you have delivered; and many things like these you do.
ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ | 14 |
And he called the whole multitude to him, and said to them: Hear me, all of you, and understand.
ܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܐܠ ܠܗ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ | 15 |
There is nothing without that, by entering into a man, can defile him. But those things which come out of the man, defile him.
ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ | 16 |
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ | 17 |
And when he had gone into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the dark saying.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܛܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܪ ܥܐܠ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ | 18 |
And he said to them: Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing from without, by entering into a man, can defile him?
ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܠܒܗ ܥܐܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܪܤܗ ܘܡܫܬܕܐ ܒܬܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܡܕܟܝܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ | 19 |
Because it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the sink, cleansing all food.
ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ | 20 |
And he said: What comes out of the man, is that which defiles the man.
ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܦܩܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܪܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܓܢܒܘܬܐ ܩܛܠܐ | 21 |
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders,
ܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܨܚܢܘܬܐ ܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܫܒܗܪܢܘܬܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ | 22 |
thefts, schemes for extortion, wicked deeds, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, calumny, haughtiness, impiety.
ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܢ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ | 23 |
All these evil things come forth from within, and defile the man.
ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܚܕ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܛܫܐ | 24 |
And he arose and departed thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.
ܡܚܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܒܪܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܩܕܡ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ | 25 |
For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet;
ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܚܢܦܬܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܗ | 26 |
(the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, ) and she besought him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܢܤܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܘܢܪܡܐ ܠܟܠܒܐ | 27 |
But Jesus said to her: Let the children be satisfied first; for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.
ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ | 28 |
She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yet you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܟܝ | 29 |
And he said to her: For this saying, go your way: the demon has gone out of your daughter.
ܘܐܙܠܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܟܕ ܪܡܝܐ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܘܢܦܝܩ ܡܢܗ ܫܐܕܗ | 30 |
And she went to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed.
ܬܘܒ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܥܤܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ | 31 |
And again he went out from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܚܕ ܦܐܩܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܤܝܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ | 32 |
And they brought to him a deaf man, who spoke with difficulty; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.
ܘܢܓܕܗ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܨܒܥܬܗ ܒܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܪܩ ܘܩܪܒ ܠܠܫܢܗ | 33 |
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܬܢܚ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܦܬܚ | 34 |
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him: Ephphatha, which means, Be opened.
ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܬܪܝ ܐܤܪܐ ܕܠܫܢܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ | 35 |
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
ܘܙܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܘܟܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܙܗܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ | 36 |
And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more earnestly they published it.
ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܠܚܪܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ | 37 |
And they were amazed beyond measure, and said: He Las done all things well: he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.
