Mark 7
1 And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
Kwasekubuthana kuye abaFarisi, labanye bababhali, ababevela eJerusalema;
2 And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
sebebonile ukuthi abanye babafundi bakhe badla izinkwa ngezandla ezingcolileyo, okuyikuthi ezingagezwanga, basola.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:
Ngoba abaFarisi lamaJuda bonke kabadli, ngaphandle kokuthi bagezisise izandla zabo, belondoloza isiko labadala.
4 And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.
Nxa bevela emdangeni, kabadli, ngaphandle kokuthi bageze; futhi zikhona ezinye izinto ezinengi abazemukelayo ukuzilondoloza, ukugezisa inkezo lembiza lezitsha zethusi lemibheda.
5 And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?
Emva kwalokhu abaFarisi lababhali bambuza bathi: Kungani abafundi bakho bengahambi ngesiko labadala, kodwa badla isinkwa ngezandla ezingahlanjwanga?
6 But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: UIsaya waprofetha kuhle ngani lina bazenzisi, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Lesisizwe singidumisa ngezindebe, kodwa inhliziyo yabo ikhatshana lami.
7 And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
Kodwa zingikhonza ngeze, zifundisa izimfundiso eziyimilayo yabantu.
8 For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.
Ngoba liyekela umlayo kaNkulunkulu, ligcine isiko labantu, ukugezisa imbiza lenkezo; lezinye izinto ezinengi ezinjalo liyazenza.
9 And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
Wasesithi kubo: Liyachitha kuhle umlayo kaNkulunkulu, ukuze lilondoloze isiko lenu.
10 For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
Ngoba uMozisi wathi: Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko; lokuthi: Othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele afe ukufa;
11 But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift, ) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.
kodwa lina lithi: Aluba umuntu esithi kuyise kumbe kunina: Lokho obungasizwa yimi ngakho, "liKhobane", okuyikuthi umnikelo kuNkulunkulu;
12 And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,
kalisamvumeli ukwenzela uyise kumbe unina ulutho,
13 Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
lilenza ize ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ngesiko lenu eliliqhubayo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo liyazenza.
14 And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.
Esebizile kuye ixuku lonke, wathi kilo: Ngilalelani lonke, liqedisise.
15 There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.
Kalukho ulutho olungaphandle komuntu olungamngcolisa lungena kuye; kodwa izinto eziphuma kuye, yizo lezo ezingcolisa umuntu.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Uba ekhona olendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
17 And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.
Esengenile endlini evela exukwini, abafundi bakhe bambuza ngomfanekiso.
18 And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:
Wasesithi kubo: Ngokunjalo lani lingabangelakuqedisisa yini? Kaliqedisisi yini ukuthi konke okungaphandle okungena emuntwini kungemngcolise?
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
Ngoba kakungeni enhliziyweni yakhe, kodwa esiswini, kuphumele ngaphandle, kuhlambulula ukudla konke.
20 But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.
Wasesithi: Okuphumayo emuntwini, yikho okungcolisa umuntu.
21 For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Ngoba kuphuma ngaphakathi enhliziyweni yabantu imicabango emibi, ukuphinga, ukufeba, ukubulala,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
ukweba, ubuhwaba, ukuxhwala, inkohliso, amanyala, ilihlo elibi, inhlamba, ukuzigqaja, ubuthutha;
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
zonke lezizinto ezimbi zivela ngaphakathi, zimngcolise umuntu.
24 And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.
Wasesukuma lapho waya emikhawulweni yeTire leSidoni. Wangena endlini, engathandi ukuthi kwaziwe muntu, kodwa wayengelakufihlakala.
25 For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.
Ngoba owesifazana, olentombazana yakhe elomoya ongcolileyo, esezwile ngaye, weza wawa phansi enyaweni zakhe;
26 For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
njalo owesifazana wayengumGriki, engumSirofenike ngokuzalwa; wasemncenga ukuthi akhuphe idimoni endodakazini yakhe.
27 Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.
Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ake kusuthe abantwana kuqala; ngoba kakukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana sisiphosele izinjana.
28 But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
Kodwa waphendula wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; kodwa lezinjana ezingaphansi kwetafula ziyadla imvuthuluka yabantwana.
29 And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yalokhukutsho hamba-ke; idimoni liphumile endodakazini yakho.
30 And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
Wasesuka waya endlini yakhe, wafica idimoni seliphumile, lendodakazi ilele embhedeni.
31 And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
Wasebuya wasuka emikhawulweni yeTire leSidoni, weza elwandle lweGalili, phakathi kwemikhawulo yeDikapolisi.
32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
Basebeletha kuye isacuthe esigagasayo, bamncenga ukuthi abeke isandla sakhe phezu kwaso.
33 And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
Wasesikhupha exukwini sabasodwa, wafaka iminwe yakhe endlebeni zaso, wakhafula wathinta ulimi lwaso,
34 And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
ekhangela phezulu ezulwini, wabubula, wathi kuso: "Efatha"; okuyikuthi: Vulwa!
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
Njalo zahle zavulwa indlebe zaso; yasithukululwa intambo yolimi lwaso, sasesikhuluma saqonda.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
Wasebalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu; kodwa lanxa wayebalayile kakhulu, kwang'khona bekumemezela ngamandla.
37 And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
Basebemangala kakhulukazi sibili, bathi: Uzenzile kuhle izinto zonke; wenza kokubili izacuthe ukuthi zizwe, lezimungulu ukuthi zikhulume.
