Mark 7
1 Farisawa ni mbur bi nha ba yerji urushalima ba ye gyenklan kagon Yesu
Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem were gathered around Jesus.
2 Nda to imrlikoma bari basi rli birli hamma ni ngla wo.
When they saw some of his disciples eating bread with hands that were defiled (that is, unwashed), they criticized them.
3 Farisawa ni yahudawa wawu mba ba na rli birli na sai ba nglawo, don ahi alada mba.
(For none of the Pharisees or Jews eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4 Inde farisawa ba ye rji cucu, bana rli birli na sai ba Sukpa; ni imbru kpi bari wa ba hua na ba ngla vuva nho uri kongo ni kpi ndu la wawu.
And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. There are also many other traditions they observe, such as the washing of cups, pots, copper vessels, and dining couches.)
5 Farisawa ni bi nha mba mye Yesu “Ahi ngyesa imrli ko me mba na Ziren ni nkon u bi nikon amma di ni rli birli ni worji?”
Now the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, “Why do yoʋr disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?”
6 Ama a ua ni bawu, “Ishaya tre tsar ni tu mbi bi gyru ndi. Ba nha din, Ndi biyi ba hume ni vre nyu amma isuron he gbagbanwu ni me.
He answered them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Ba wu me u ce, nda ni tsuro ikpi bi u ndi wa ahi u mba.
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Bi ka doka rji don di nji u di mu gbangban me.
For you have neglected the commandment of God and are holding to the tradition of men, such as various washings of pots and cups. And you do many other similar things such as these.”
9 A la wa bawu, A bi yiwu wa bi ka doka Rji don ndu yi nji ala'ada u mbi.
Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commandment of God so that you may keep your tradition!
10 Musa a tre, 'Wo tre tieme ni yime', u iwa a tre meme ni tiema ko yima, gbigbi ani qu'. “Amma bi hla, 'Indiwa a hla ni tiema ko yima
For Moses said, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
11 Izo ko birime wa una kpa ni me a hi Corban “(wa wu tre, nno ni Rji)
But you teach that it is acceptable for a man to say to his father or mother, ‘Whatever benefit yoʋ might have received from me is Corban’” (that is, a gift devoted to God).
12 Una la ny'me ni wu ndu tie kpie ni tiema ko iyi ma na.
“In this way you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 Bi kpa tre Rji ni tie meme ni al'ada mbi wa bi ndi nji wu ngbangban me. Ni gbugbu kpie wa bi muba wa bi tie'a.
thus nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many similar things such as these.”
14 A yo kpentren ndi ba ngarli nda tre wo me wawu mbi wu ndi to.
Then Jesus called over the entire crowd and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
15 Ikpie ri u kora na he na wa ani ba ndi tie meme”. A hi kpie wa a rju rji ni mi ndi, ikiyi ni kpa ndi tie meme”
There is nothing outside of a person that can defile him by going into him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.
16 Indi wa a he ntlon wo'a ka wo.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
17 To, Yesu a ka kpentre ndi ba don nda ri mikoh, mrli ko ma ba mye itre misali.
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into a house, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 Yesu tre bi yi me itu mbi rli he bwu? Bi na to ndi ko ngyeri wa a ri ni ndi rji kora an a kpau tie meme,
He said to them, “So are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that whatever goes into a person from the outside cannot defile him?
19 don ana he nkon u ri ni suron ma na, amma ani hi mi nne ma nda rju hlega hi tra u hi mha?” Nitreyi Yesu a d'bu birli ba bi wawu.
For it does not go into his heart but into his stomach; then it goes out into the latrine, thus purifying all foods.”
20 A tre, “Ahi kpie wa rju rji ni mi ndi mba ni kpau tie meme.
He also said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles a person.
21 Don rji ni mi ndi, rju ni mi suron ba' meme mre: gru tangban ni ndi, iy'bi, wundi,
For from within, from the hearts of men, come evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, murder,
22 ikan, ingu, meme dri, gyru ndi, bison biye, bi shishi meme, bi kpa ndi tie meme, nzutu, bi mrlian ndi.
theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
23 Biyi wawu mba wu ba meme wa ba rji ni mi, bi ki ba kpa ndi tie meme
All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
24 A wlunde ni ki nda hi kpama ni iklan u Taya ni sidon. Niki a ri koh nda na son ndu ba to wrji wa a he'a na, amma ana ya' nda ri kpama ni ndi na.
Then Jesus rose from there and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know it, yet he could not escape notice.
25 Amma ni wo a he, iwa ri wa kpura vren wa ma a he ni brji a ye nda nda ka ku joku niwu za.
For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him and came and fell at his feet.
26 To, iwa ana ndi u Helleni, u l'me Surofinishan. A bre wu to ju brjia rju ni vrenwa ma.
(This woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth.) She asked Jesus to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 A wa wu, ndu ba guci nno mrli rli. Ana he tu nkon na, ndu ba ban birli u mrli tayo yawhu na.”
But Jesus said to her, “Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”
28 Amma iwa kasa wu nda hla” Njanji, Baci, e yawhu wa ba kru za tebru'a barli bu mbru (rjurju) u mrli ba.
She answered him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.”
29 A hla ni wa, ni tu kpie wa u tre, u ka hi. Ibrji a rju ni kpa vrenwa me ye'.
Then he said to her, “Because of this reply, yoʋ may go; the demon has come out of yoʋr daughter.”
30 A k'ma hi koh ma nda ka to vrenwa kru ni tu kru u ibrji rliga rju ni kpa vrenwa ye”
And when she went to her house, she found the demon gone and her daughter lying in bed.
31 A la rju ni nklan u Taya, nda hi ni sidon ni teka halili rji hi ni inklan u Dikafolis.
Then Jesus came back from the region of Tyre and Sidon and went to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of the Decapolis.
32 Ba nji ndi ri ye wu wa ana mangbi nda ta to tre na, nda bre wu sawo wu.
Some people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on the man.
33 A nji'u hi kosan ni bubu wa ndi bana he na, a sur mri wo ni mi ton ma nda ti ntan ka kpre l'me ma.
So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd. Then he put his fingers into the man's ears, spit, and touched the man's tongue.
34 A nzu ya shulu, nda cu vrli, nda wa wu, “Iffatha” wa ahi “Bwu!”
And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha” (that is, “Be opened”).
35 Hari itton ba, baka bwu, u l'me ma wa ana llo ngbangban, ka si nda tsi ni tre didi me.
Immediately the man's ears were opened, the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking clearly.
36 Yesu m'ha ba ndu bana wa dio na. Amma to a m'ha ba ndu ba na hla dio na, wa katie na a con ba ndu ba d'bu ni ndi.
Then Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But as much as he ordered them not to do so, they proclaimed it all the more.
37 Ba tie sisri kpukpo me, nda tre, “A tie kpi ba wawu-u didi me.
And they were completely astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
