Mark 7
1 Farisawa ni mbur bi nha ba yerji urushalima ba ye gyenklan kagon Yesu
Then the Pharisees, with certain Scribes who had come from Jerusalem, came to Him in a body.
2 Nda to imrlikoma bari basi rli birli hamma ni ngla wo.
They had noticed that some of His disciples were eating their food with 'unclean' (that is to say, unwashed) hands.
3 Farisawa ni yahudawa wawu mba ba na rli birli na sai ba nglawo, don ahi alada mba.
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews--being, as they are, zealous for the traditions of the Elders--never eat without first carefully washing their hands,
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 market they will not eat without bathing first; and they have a good many other customs which they have received traditionally and cling to, such as the rinsing of cups and pots and of bronze utensils, and the washing of beds.)
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?”
So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean 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.
"Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites," He replied; "as it is written, "'This People honour Me with their lips, while their hearts are far away from Me:
7 Ba wu me u ce, nda ni tsuro ikpi bi u ndi wa ahi u mba.
But idle is their devotion while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'
8 Bi ka doka rji don di nji u di mu gbangban me.
"You neglect God's Commandment: you hold fast to men's traditions."
9 A la wa bawu, A bi yiwu wa bi ka doka Rji don ndu yi nji ala'ada u mbi.
"Praiseworthy indeed!" He added, "to set at nought God's Commandment in order to observe your own traditions!
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, 'Honour thy father and thy mother' and again, 'He who curses father or mother, let him die the death.'
11 Izo ko birime wa una kpa ni me a hi Corban “(wa wu tre, nno ni Rji)
But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God), whatever it is, which otherwise you would have received from me--'
12 Una la ny'me ni wu ndu tie kpie ni tiema ko iyi ma na.
And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or 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 God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do."
14 A yo kpentren ndi ba ngarli nda tre wo me wawu mbi wu ndi to.
Then Jesus called the people to Him again. "Listen to me, all of you," He said, "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 a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean."
16 Indi wa a he ntlon wo'a ka wo.
17 To, Yesu a ka kpentre ndi ba don nda ri mikoh, mrli ko ma ba mye itre misali.
After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.
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,
"Have you also so little understanding?" He replied; "do you not understand that anything whatever that enters a man from outside cannot make him unclean,
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.
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.
20 A tre, “Ahi kpie wa rju rji ni mi ndi mba ni kpau tie meme.
"What comes out of a man," He added, "that it is which makes him unclean.
21 Don rji ni mi ndi, rju ni mi suron ba' meme mre: gru tangban ni ndi, iy'bi, wundi,
For from within, out of men's hearts, their evil purposes proceed--fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
22 ikan, ingu, meme dri, gyru ndi, bison biye, bi shishi meme, bi kpa ndi tie meme, nzutu, bi mrlian ndi.
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, reviling, pride, reckless folly:
23 Biyi wawu mba wu ba meme wa ba rji ni mi, bi ki ba kpa ndi tie meme
all these wicked things come out from within and make a man unclean."
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 He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation.
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.
Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit heard of Him, and came and flung herself at His feet.
26 To, iwa ana ndi u Helleni, u l'me Surofinishan. A bre wu to ju brjia rju ni vrenwa ma.
She was a Gentile woman, a Syro-phoenician by nation: and again and again she begged Him to expel the demon from 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.”
"Let the children first eat all they want," He said; "it is not right 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.
"True, Sir," she replied, "and yet the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps."
29 A hla ni wa, ni tu kpie wa u tre, u ka hi. Ibrji a rju ni kpa vrenwa me ye'.
"For those words of yours, go home," He replied; "the demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 A k'ma hi koh ma nda ka to vrenwa kru ni tu kru u ibrji rliga rju ni kpa vrenwa ye”
So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
31 A la rju ni nklan u Taya, nda hi ni sidon ni teka halili rji hi ni inklan u Dikafolis.
Returning from the neighbourhood of Tyre, He came by way of Sidon to the Lake of Galilee, passing through the district of the Ten Towns.
32 Ba nji ndi ri ye wu wa ana mangbi nda ta to tre na, nda bre wu sawo wu.
Here they brought to Him a deaf man that stammered, on whom they begged Him to lay His hands.
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 taking him aside, apart from the crowd, put His fingers into his ears, and spat, and moistened his 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, "Open!")
35 Hari itton ba, baka bwu, u l'me ma wa ana llo ngbangban, ka si nda tsi ni tre didi me.
And the man's ears were opened, and his tongue became untied, and he began to speak perfectly.
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 charged them to tell no one; but the more He charged them, all the more did they spread the news far and wide.
37 Ba tie sisri kpukpo me, nda tre, “A tie kpi ba wawu-u didi me.
The amazement was extreme. "He succeeds in everything he attempts," they exclaimed; "he even makes deaf men hear and dumb men speak!"
