Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
anantaraṁ yirūśālama āgatāḥ phirūśino'dhyāpakāśca yīśoḥ samīpam āgatāḥ|
2 and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
te tasya kiyataḥ śiṣyān aśucikarairarthāda aprakṣālitahastai rbhuñjato dṛṣṭvā tānadūṣayan|
3 Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
yataḥ phirūśinaḥ sarvvayihūdīyāśca prācāṁ paramparāgatavākyaṁ sammanya pratalena hastān aprakṣālya na bhuñjate|
4 And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
āpanādāgatya majjanaṁ vinā na khādanti; tathā pānapātrāṇāṁ jalapātrāṇāṁ pittalapātrāṇām āsanānāñca jale majjanam ityādayonyepi bahavasteṣāmācārāḥ santi|
5 So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
te phirūśino'dhyāpakāśca yīśuṁ papracchuḥ, tava śiṣyāḥ prācāṁ paramparāgatavākyānusāreṇa nācaranto'prakṣālitakaraiḥ kuto bhujaṁte?
6 Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
tataḥ sa pratyuvāca kapaṭino yuṣmān uddiśya yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādī yuktamavādīt| yathā svakīyairadharairete sammanyanate sadaiva māṁ| kintu matto viprakarṣe santi teṣāṁ manāṁsi ca|
7 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
śikṣayanto bidhīn nnājñā bhajante māṁ mudhaiva te|
8 You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
yūyaṁ jalapātrapānapātrādīni majjayanto manujaparamparāgatavākyaṁ rakṣatha kintu īśvarājñāṁ laṁghadhve; aparā īdṛśyonekāḥ kriyā api kurudhve|
9 He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
anyañcākathayat yūyaṁ svaparamparāgatavākyasya rakṣārthaṁ spaṣṭarūpeṇa īśvarājñāṁ lopayatha|
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
yato mūsādvārā proktamasti svapitarau sammanyadhvaṁ yastu mātaraṁ pitaraṁ vā durvvākyaṁ vakti sa nitāntaṁ hanyatāṁ|
11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),
kintu madīyena yena dravyeṇa tavopakārobhavat tat karbbāṇamarthād īśvarāya niveditam idaṁ vākyaṁ yadi kopi pitaraṁ mātaraṁ vā vakti
12 he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
tarhi yūyaṁ mātuḥ pitu rvopakāraṁ karttāṁ taṁ vārayatha|
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
itthaṁ svapracāritaparamparāgatavākyena yūyam īśvarājñāṁ mudhā vidhadvve, īdṛśānyanyānyanekāni karmmāṇi kurudhve|
14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:
atha sa lokānāhūya babhāṣe yūyaṁ sarvve madvākyaṁ śṛṇuta budhyadhvañca|
15 Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”
bāhyādantaraṁ praviśya naramamedhyaṁ karttāṁ śaknoti īdṛśaṁ kimapi vastu nāsti, varam antarād bahirgataṁ yadvastu tanmanujam amedhyaṁ karoti|
yasya śrotuṁ śrotre staḥ sa śṛṇotu|
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
tataḥ sa lokān hitvā gṛhamadhyaṁ praviṣṭastadā śiṣyāstadṛṣṭāntavākyārthaṁ papracchuḥ|
18 “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
tasmāt sa tān jagāda yūyamapi kimetādṛgabodhāḥ? kimapi dravyaṁ bāhyādantaraṁ praviśya naramamedhyaṁ karttāṁ na śaknoti kathāmimāṁ kiṁ na budhyadhve?
19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
tat tadantarna praviśati kintu kukṣimadhyaṁ praviśati śeṣe sarvvabhuktavastugrāhiṇi bahirdeśe niryāti|
20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
aparamapyavādīd yannarānnireti tadeva naramamedhyaṁ karoti|
21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
yato'ntarād arthān mānavānāṁ manobhyaḥ kucintā parastrīveśyāgamanaṁ
22 greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
naravadhaścauryyaṁ lobho duṣṭatā pravañcanā kāmukatā kudṛṣṭirīśvaranindā garvvastama ityādīni nirgacchanti|
23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
etāni sarvvāṇi duritānyantarādetya naramamedhyaṁ kurvvanti|
24 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
atha sa utthāya tatsthānāt sorasīdonpurapradeśaṁ jagāma tatra kimapi niveśanaṁ praviśya sarvvairajñātaḥ sthātuṁ matiñcakre kintu guptaḥ sthātuṁ na śaśāka|
25 Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
yataḥ suraphainikīdeśīyayūnānīvaṁśodbhavastriyāḥ kanyā bhūtagrastāsīt| sā strī tadvārttāṁ prāpya tatsamīpamāgatya taccaraṇayoḥ patitvā
26 Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
svakanyāto bhūtaṁ nirākarttāṁ tasmin vinayaṁ kṛtavatī|
27 “First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
kintu yīśustāmavadat prathamaṁ bālakāstṛpyantu yato bālakānāṁ khādyaṁ gṛhītvā kukkurebhyo nikṣepo'nucitaḥ|
28 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
tadā sā strī tamavādīt bhoḥ prabho tat satyaṁ tathāpi mañcādhaḥsthāḥ kukkurā bālānāṁ karapatitāni khādyakhaṇḍāni khādanti|
29 Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
tataḥ so'kathayad etatkathāhetoḥ sakuśalā yāhi tava kanyāṁ tyaktvā bhūto gataḥ|
30 And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.
atha sā strī gṛhaṁ gatvā kanyāṁ bhūtatyaktāṁ śayyāsthitāṁ dadarśa|
31 Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
punaśca sa sorasīdonpurapradeśāt prasthāya dikāpalideśasya prāntarabhāgena gālīljaladheḥ samīpaṁ gatavān|
32 Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.
tadā lokairekaṁ badhiraṁ kadvadañca naraṁ tannikaṭamānīya tasya gātre hastamarpayituṁ vinayaḥ kṛtaḥ|
33 So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.
tato yīśu rlokāraṇyāt taṁ nirjanamānīya tasya karṇayoṅgulī rdadau niṣṭhīvaṁ dattvā ca tajjihvāṁ pasparśa|
34 And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).
anantaraṁ svargaṁ nirīkṣya dīrghaṁ niśvasya tamavadat itaphataḥ arthān mukto bhūyāt|
35 Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
tatastatkṣaṇaṁ tasya karṇau muktau jihvāyāśca jāḍyāpagamāt sa suspaṣṭavākyamakathayat|
36 Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
atha sa tān vāḍhamityādideśa yūyamimāṁ kathāṁ kasmaicidapi mā kathayata, kintu sa yati nyaṣedhat te tati bāhulyena prācārayan;
37 The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
te'ticamatkṛtya parasparaṁ kathayāmāsuḥ sa badhirāya śravaṇaśaktiṁ mūkāya ca kathanaśaktiṁ dattvā sarvvaṁ karmmottamarūpeṇa cakāra|
