Maliko 7
1 Mafalisayo ŵampepe ni jwakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaŵatyochele ku Yelusalemu ŵasongangene paujo pa Che Yesu.
The Pharisees and religious leaders who had come down from Jerusalem to meet Jesus
2 Ŵanyawo ŵaweni ŵakulijiganya ŵampepe ŵa Che Yesu akulya panganaŵa makono mpela iyasachilwaga ni Malajisyo ga Chiyahudi.
noticed that some of his disciples ate with “unclean” (meaning unwashed) hands.
3 Pakuŵa, Mafalisayo ni Ŵayahudi wose ngakulya chakulya panganaŵa mmakono, mpaka pachisukusuku achikamulisyaga masyoŵelo ga achachekulu ŵachiikala.
(The Pharisees and all Jews don't eat until they wash their hands, following the tradition of their ancestors.
4 Sooni paakutyokanga pakusumichisya malonda ngakulya chachilichose pangajosya kaje. Nombe akugakuyanga masyoŵelo gamajinji gaŵapochele kutyochela kwa achachekulu, mpela ila yakuti pakosya migao ni iteleko ni yoombo ya libati.
In the same way, they don't eat when they return from the market until they have had a wash. They observe many other rituals, like the washing of cups, pots, and pans.)
5 Nipele Mafalisayo ni Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵala ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Kwachichi ŵakulijiganya ŵenu ngakugakuya masyoŵelo gitupochele kwa achachekulu ŵetu, nambo akwamba kulya chakulya mmakono muli musakele?”
So the Pharisees and religious leaders asked Jesus, “Why don't your disciples follow the tradition of our ancestors? They eat food with unclean hands.”
6 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵaulamba ŵanyamwe! Che Isaya, jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu, ŵalondwele yambone pa ŵanyamwe mpela iŵatite pakulemba, ‘Akunnungu akuti, ŵandu ŵa akunjimbichisyanga pakang'wa pe, nambo mmitima jao ali kwakutalikangana ni une.
Jesus replied, “Isaiah was right about you hypocrites when he said, ‘These people claim they honor me, but in their thinking they are far from me.
7 Kumbopelela kwao kwangali chindu, ligongo akwiganya malajisyo ga ŵandu mpela ila akugajiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu.’
There's no point in their worship of me, for what they teach as doctrines are merely human rules.’
8 “Ŵanyamwe nkugaleka Malajisyo ga Akunnungu ni kugakamulisya masyoŵelo ga ŵandu.”
You disregard God's law, and instead you carefully observe human traditions.”
9 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Ŵanyamwe nkumanyi kukana kwa lunda lwenu Malajisyo ga Akunnungu kuti ngakuye masyoŵelo genu mwachinsyene!
“How cleverly you set aside God's law so you can support your traditions!” he told them.
10 Pakuŵa che Musa ŵalajisye, ‘Mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu,’ ni, ‘Mundu jwalijose juchantukane atatigwe pane achikulugwe, aulajikwe.’
“Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Whoever curses their father or mother should die.’
11 Nambo ŵanyamwe nkwiganya, iŵaga mundu akwete chindu chakombola kwakamuchisya achikulugwe pane atatigwe, nambo nkuti chindu cho chili ‘Kolibani’, malumbo gakwe chindu cho chityosyekwe sadaka kwa Akunnungu,
But you say that if someone tells their father or mother, ‘Anything you might have received from me is now Corban,’ (that means dedicated to God),
12 nipele mundu jo ngakusachilwa sooni kwakamuchisya atatigwe pane achikulugwe.
then you don't permit them to do anything further for their mother or father.
13 Yeleyo ni inkuti pakulijalusya Liloŵe lya Akunnungu kwa masyoŵelo ginkujiganyana. Ni sooni nkugatendekanya gamajinji ganti iyoyo.”
By means of this tradition of yours that you pass down, you make God's word null and void. You do many other things like this.”
14 Che Yesu ŵauŵilasile sooni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ula ni kwasalila, “Mumbikanichisye wose, ni mmanyilile.
Jesus called the crowd to him again and told them, “Please, everyone listen to me and understand.
15 Ngapagwa chakulya chaakulya mundu, chachikuntendekasya aŵe jwangakundikwa ni Akunnungu. Nambo chachikukopoka nkati mwa mundu, ni chachikuntendekasya mundu jo aŵe jwangakundikwa ni Akunnungu.
It's not what's on the outside and goes into you that makes you unclean. It's what comes out that makes you unclean.”
16 Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane!”
17 Paŵalekangene ni ŵandu ŵala ni kwinjila mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵambusisye malumbo ga chitagu cho.
Then Jesus went inside to escape the crowd, and his disciples asked him about his illustration.
18 Nombe Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ni ŵanyamwe nganinkola umanyilisi? Ana ngankumanyilila kuti chakulya chaakulya mundu ngachikukombola kuntendekasya aŵe jwangakundikwa ni Akunnungu?
“Don't you understand it either?” he asked them. “Don't you see that what you eat doesn't make you unclean?
19 Pakuŵa ngachikwinjila mu ntima mwakwe, nambo mlutumbo ni chikukopoka paasa pa chiilu pakwe.” Paŵaŵechete yeleyo Che Yesu ŵaitesile yakulya yose ikomboleche kuligwa.
It doesn't go into your mind, but into your stomach, and then passes out of the body. So all foods are ceremonially ‘clean.’
20 Ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Chachikukopoka nkati mwa mundu ni chachikuntendekasya mundu jo aŵe jwangakundikwa ni Akunnungu.
It's what comes out of you that makes you unclean.
21 Pakuŵa mu ntima mwa mundu ni mwamukukopoka ng'anisyo syangalimate, ni chikululu ni wiyi ni uulasi,
It's from the inside, from people's minds, that evil thoughts come: sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 ni chikululu ni lipamo ni ungalumbana ni kulambusya ni kunyenga ni wiu ni kutukana ni chibuli ni kuloŵela.
greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, thoughtlessness—
23 Yangalumbana yose yo, ikukopoka nkati mwa mundu, yose yo ni yaikuntendekasya mundu aŵe jwangakundikwa ni Akunnungu.”
all these evils come from inside and defile people.”
24 Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ŵajawile mu mmusi wauŵandikene ni ku Tilo. Ni kweleko ŵajinjile mu nyuumba jimo ni nganasaka mundu jwalijose aimanyilile, nambo nganakombola kulisisa.
Then Jesus left and went to the region of Tyre. He didn't want anyone to know he was staying in a house there, but he couldn't keep it a secret.
25 Jwankongwe jumo, juŵaliji ni mwali juŵakamwilwe ni lisoka, ŵapilikene ngani si Che Yesu. Ni ŵaajaulile ni kuligwisya pa makongolo gao.
As soon as a woman whose little daughter had an evil spirit heard about him, she came and fell at his feet.
26 Jwankongwe jo ŵaliji Mgiliki ni nganaŵa Myahudi, juŵapagwile musi wa ku Silofonike ku chilambo cha ku Silia. Ŵaachondelele Che Yesu akankoposye mwali jwao lisoka.
The woman was Greek, born in Syrophoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive out the demon from her daughter.
27 Nambo Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ajikute kaje ŵanache, pakuŵa ngaŵa yambone kwigala chakulya cha ŵanache ni kusijasila mbwa syao.”
“First let the children eat until they're full,” Jesus replied. “It's not right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.”
28 Nambo jwankongwe jo ŵatite, “Elo, Ambuje, nambo ngati atamuno mbwa syasikutama kuusi mesa, sikulya mbakatika syakusigwisya ŵanache.”
“True, sir,” she said, “but even the dogs under the table eat the scraps the children leave.”
29 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵasalile, “Kwaligongo lya intite pakwanga, njaule kumusi. Lisoka linkopweche mwali jwenu.”
Jesus told her, “For such an answer you may go—the demon has left your daughter.”
30 Nipele jwankongwe jo ŵausile kumangwao, ŵansimene mwanagwe agonile pachindanda ni lisoka lili linkopweche.
She went home and found the child lying on the bed, the demon gone.
31 Nipele Che Yesu ŵatyosile ku chilambo cha ku Tilo ni kwaula ku litanda lya Galilaya achipitilaga ku Sidoni ni ku Dekapoli.
Leaving the region of Tyre, Jesus passed through Sidon and then on to the Sea of Galilee and the territory of the Ten Cities.
32 Ŵaiche ŵandu ŵampepe ali anjigele mundu juŵaliji jwangapikana ni jwangaŵecheta, ŵaachondelele Che Yesu ansajichile makono mundu jo ni kunlamya.
There they brought him a deaf man who also could not speak properly. They asked Jesus to touch the man with his hand and heal him.
33 Che Yesu ŵantyosisye mundu jo mu mpingo wa ŵandu ni kunjausya pangali ŵandu, ŵaŵisile yala mmapilikanilo ga mundu jula. Ŵasunile mata pa chaala chakwe ni kunkwaya lulimi mundu jula.
After Jesus took him aside from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers in the deaf man's ears. Then he touched the man's tongue with spit.
34 Nipele Che Yesu ŵalolite kwinani kwa Akunnungu ni kwisya ntima, ŵansalile mundu jo, “Efata,” malumbo gakwe “Mbuguche.”
Jesus looked up to heaven and with a sigh he said, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Open!”
35 Papopo mapilikanilo ga mundu jula gaugwiche ni lulimi lwakwe lwagopweche, nipele ŵatandite kuŵecheta uchenene.
The man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was gone, and he began speaking properly.
36 Che Yesu ŵakanyisye ŵandu ŵala kuti akansalila mundu jwalijose yelei. Namuno ŵapundile kwakanyisya, ŵanyawo ŵapundisye kuijenesya yeleyo.
Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anyone, but the more he said this, the more they spread the news.
37 Ni ŵandu ŵasimosile nnope ni kuti, “Atesile yose mwambonepe, namose ŵangapilikana akwatenda apilikane ni ŵangaŵecheta akwatenda aŵechete!”
They were totally amazed and said, “Everything he does is marvelous. He even makes the deaf hear, and the dumb speak.”
