< Marko 7 >

1 Skupe se oko njega farizeji i neki od pismoznanaca koji dođoše iz Jeruzalema.
One day the Pharisees came to him in a body with some Scribes who had come from Jerusalem.
2 I opaze da neki njegovi učenici jedu kruh nečistih, to jest neopranih ruku.
They had noticed that some of his disciples were eating with "common," that is to say, unwashed hands.
3 A farizeji i svi Židovi ne jedu ako prije temeljito ne operu ruke; drže se predaje starih.
For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat until they have ceremoniously washed their hands in obedience to the tradition of the elders;
4 Niti s trga što jedu ako prije ne operu. Mnogo toga još ima što zbog predaje drže: pranje čaša, vrčeva i lonaca.
and when they come from the market-place they do not eat without bathing first. and they have many other customs which they have received and observe, such as the washing of cups and jugs and copper pans.
5 Zato farizeji i pismoznanci upitaju Isusa: “Zašto tvoji učenici ne postupaju po predaji starih, nego nečistih ruku blaguju?”
So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with ‘common’ unwashed hands?"
6 A on im reče: “Dobro prorokova Izaija o vama, licemjeri, kad napisa: Ovaj me narod usnama časti, a srce mu je daleko od mene.
"Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites," he answered. "As it is written, "This people honor me with their lips, While their hearts are far from me;
7 Uzalud me štuju naučavajući nauke - uredbe ljudske.
But in vain do they worship me, For their teaching is only human precepts.
8 Napustili ste zapovijed Božju, a držite se predaje ljudske.”
"You neglect the commandment of God, and hold fast the traditions of men."
9 Još im govoraše: “Lijepo! Dokidate Božju zapovijed da biste sačuvali svoju predaju.
"It is praiseworthy, is it," he exclaimed, "to reject the command of God that you may keep your tradition!
10 Mojsije doista reče: Poštuj oca svoga i majku svoju. I: Tko prokune oca ili majku, smrću neka se kazni.
For although Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and Let him who curses father or mother suffer death,
11 A vi velite: 'Rekne li tko ocu ili majci: Pomoć koja te od mene ide neka bude 'korban', to jest sveti dar',
you say that if a man tells his father or mother, ‘This money which otherwise you would have received from me, is Korban’ (that is, a thing devoted to God),
12 takvome više ne dopuštate ništa učiniti za oca ili majku.
you exempt him from doing any service for his father or mother.
13 Tako dokidate riječ Božju svojom predajom, koju sami sebi predadoste. I još štošta tomu slično činite.”
Thus by your tradition which you have handed down you set at naught the word of God; and you do many other things like that."
14 Tada ponovno dozove mnoštvo i stane govoriti: “Poslušajte me svi i razumijte!
Then again he called the crowd to him and said.
15 Ništa što izvana ulazi u čovjeka ne može ga onečistiti, nego što iz čovjeka izlazi - to ga onečišćuje.
"Listen to me, all of you, and understand; there is nothing outside a man which by entering in can defile him; but it is what comes from him that defiled him."
16 Tko ima uši da čuje, neka čuje!”
17 I kad od mnoštva uđe u kuću, upitaše ga učenici za prispodobu.
After he had left the crowd and gone indoors his disciples began asking him about the parable.
18 I reče im: “Tako? Ni vi ne razumijete? Ne shvaćate li da čovjeka ne može onečistiti što u nj ulazi
"Are even you without understanding?" he said. "Do you not perceive that nothing whatever from without can defile a man by entering him,
19 jer mu ne ulazi u srce, nego u utrobu te izlazi u zahod?” Tako on očisti sva jela.
because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and passes away, ejected from him?" By these words he pronounced all foods clean.
20 Još dometnu: “Što iz čovjeka izlazi, te onečišćuje čovjeka.
"What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him.
21 Ta iznutra, iz srca čovječjega, izlaze zle namisli, bludništva, krađe, ubojstva,
From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes -
22 preljubi, lakomstva, opakosti, prijevara, razuzdanost, zlo oko, psovka, uznositost, bezumlje.
fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly -
23 Sva ta zla iznutra izlaze i onečišćuju čovjeka.”
all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."
24 Odande otiđe u kraj tirski. I uđe u neku kuću. Htio je da nitko ne sazna, ali se nije mogao sakriti,
After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.
25 nego odmah doču žena koje kćerkica imaše duha nečistoga. Ona dođe i pade mu pred noge.
Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet
26 A žena bijaše Grkinja, Sirofeničanka rodom. I moljaše ga da joj iz kćeri istjera zloduha.
(the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 A on joj govoraše: “Pusti da se prije nasite djeca! Ne priliči uzeti kruh djeci i baciti ga psićima.”
"Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs."
28 A ona će mu: “Da, Gospodine! Ali i psići ispod stola jedu od mrvica dječjih.”
"True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the children’s crumbs."
29 Reče joj: “Zbog te riječi idi, izišao je iz tvoje kćeri zloduh.”
"For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter."
30 I ode kući te nađe dijete gdje leži na postelji, a zloduh je bio izišao.
So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.
31 Zatim se ponovno vrati iz krajeva tirskih pa preko Sidona dođe Galilejskom moru, u krajeve dekapolske.
Again he left the region of Tyre, and passed through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, crossing the District of the Ten Towns.
32 Donesu mu nekoga gluhog mucavca pa ga zamole da stavi na nj ruku.
And they brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hands upon him.
33 On ga uzme nasamo od mnoštva, utisne svoje prste u njegove uši, zatim pljune i dotakne se njegova jezika.
So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put his finger in the man’s ears, and moistened his tongue with saliva;
34 Upravi pogled u nebo, uzdahne i kaže mu: “Effata!” - to će reći: “Otvori se!”
then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.")
35 I odmah mu se otvoriše uši i razdriješi spona jezika te stade govoriti razgovijetno.
And his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.
36 A Isus im zabrani da nikome ne kazuju. No što im je on više branio, oni su to više razglašavali
Then Jesus charged them not to tell any one, but the more he charged them, the more they published it;
37 i preko svake mjere zadivljeni govorili: “Dobro je sve učinio! Gluhima daje čuti, nijemima govoriti!”
and people were amazed beyond measure saying. "How successfully he does things! Even the deaf he makes to hear, and the dumb to speak."
