Mark 7
1 Farisawa ni mbur bi nha ba yerji urushalima ba ye gyenklan kagon Yesu
And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
2 Nda to imrlikoma bari basi rli birli hamma ni ngla wo.
and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands — that is, unwashed — eating bread, they found fault;
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, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding 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, [coming] from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and 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?”
Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, 'Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'
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.
and he answering said to them — 'Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honour Me, and their heart is far from Me;
7 Ba wu me u ce, nda ni tsuro ikpi bi u ndi wa ahi u mba.
and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 Bi ka doka rji don di nji u di mu gbangban me.
for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'
9 A la wa bawu, A bi yiwu wa bi ka doka Rji don ndu yi nji ala'ada u mbi.
And he said to them, 'Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;
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, He who is speaking evil of 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)
and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,
12 Una la ny'me ni wu ndu tie kpie ni tiema ko iyi ma na.
and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for 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.
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
14 A yo kpentren ndi ba ngarli nda tre wo me wawu mbi wu ndi to.
And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, 'Hearken to me, ye all, 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 from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.
16 Indi wa a he ntlon wo'a ka wo.
If any hath 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.
And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,
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,
and he saith to them, 'So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to 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.
because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'
20 A tre, “Ahi kpie wa rju rji ni mi ndi mba ni kpau tie meme.
And he said — 'That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;
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 the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 ikan, ingu, meme dri, gyru ndi, bison biye, bi shishi meme, bi kpa ndi tie meme, nzutu, bi mrlian ndi.
thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;
23 Biyi wawu mba wu ba meme wa ba rji ni mi, bi ki ba kpa ndi tie meme
all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'
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.
And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,
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 having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, 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.
and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation — and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth 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.”
And Jesus said to her, 'Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to the little 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.
And she answered and saith to him, 'Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of 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'.
And he said to her, 'Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy 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 having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch.
31 A la rju ni nklan u Taya, nda hi ni sidon ni teka halili rji hi ni inklan u Dikafolis.
And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,
32 Ba nji ndi ri ye wu wa ana mangbi nda ta to tre na, nda bre wu sawo wu.
and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.
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.
And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,
34 A nzu ya shulu, nda cu vrli, nda wa wu, “Iffatha” wa ahi “Bwu!”
and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, 'Ephphatha,' that is, 'Be thou opened;'
35 Hari itton ba, baka bwu, u l'me ma wa ana llo ngbangban, ka si nda tsi ni tre didi me.
and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.
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.
And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [it],
37 Ba tie sisri kpukpo me, nda tre, “A tie kpi ba wawu-u didi me.
and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, 'Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'
